[0002] The RH refining furnace is a refining equipment used in the steel production process. It is mainly used for deoxidation, desulfurization, dephosphorization and other treatment processes of molten steel. It improves the quality of molten steel by removing impurities in the molten steel. The composition endpoint control of the refining process is a key control process related to the quality of steel products. This also provides new demands and challenges for intelligent equipment and real-time online detection of molten steel composition. The improvement of intelligent equipment and precise control of molten steel composition are of great significance to the industrial transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of the steel industry.

[0003] The refining furnace currently uses intermittent and offline detection to detect the composition of molten steel, which requires manual sampling. After the high-temperature liquid sample solidifies, the sample surface is processed by a milling machine to remove the oxide layer, and then the sample component content is detected using a spark direct reading spectrometer, carbon and sulfur meter, or ICP chemical dissolution method. Real-time synchronous online detection is not achieved, resulting in a lack of real-time and accuracy in process control. The intelligence level of molten steel composition detection in the steelmaking and refining process is low, and the endpoint hit rate is low. There is an urgent need to develop intelligent equipment for real-time online detection of molten steel composition in the refining process. Summary of the Invention
