Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of industrial process monitoring and intelligent control, and particularly relates to a lime kiln monitoring system based on dynamic fusion of multi-source data. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the core equipment of the metallurgical, chemical, building material and other industries, the running state of the lime kiln directly affects the product quality, energy consumption and environmental emissions. The traditional monitoring system generally adopts single parameter threshold alarm or simple data superposition display mode, which has the problems of low data utilization rate, control lag, and untimely fault discovery. With the development of intelligent manufacturing technology, the limitations of the traditional monitoring system are increasingly prominent, which is specifically manifested in the following technical bottlenecks:

[0003] 1. Insufficient multi-source data fusion and processing capacity.

[0004] The traditional lime kiln monitoring system usually adopts independent sensors to collect temperature, pressure, gas concentration and other parameters, and there is a lack of deep data interaction between each subsystem. For example, the thermocouple can only obtain local temperature point data and cannot reflect the overall temperature field distribution of the kiln; the gas analyzer only monitors the conventional indicators such as CO and CO2, and ignores the real-time tracking of abnormal emissions such as SO2. This "data island" phenomenon leads to the following problems:

[0005] Lack of data heterogeneity processing: different sensors (such as analog signals of thermocouples and digital signals of gas analyzers) have differences in sampling rate, dimension and accuracy, and the traditional system lacks a unified data preprocessing mechanism, which directly transmitted to the central server can cause communication congestion and calculation delay.

[0006] Difficulty in extracting dynamic characteristics: the kiln operation has strong nonlinearity and time-varying characteristics (such as a circle formation period of up to 72 hours), and the traditional static threshold monitoring cannot capture dynamic characteristics such as temperature gradient changes and pressure fluctuation frequencies, resulting in a 8-12 hour lag in circle prediction.

[0007] Weak edge computing capability: most systems rely on cloud for data fusion analysis, but the network bandwidth in industrial field is limited (usually ≤10 Mbps), and transmission of raw data (such as 640x480 pixel matrix of thermal imager) requires a large amount of bandwidth, resulting in a control command delay of 3-5 seconds, which cannot meet the real-time optimization requirements.

[0008] 2. Lack of predictive maintenance and equipment health management.

[0009] The traditional monitoring system adopts a regular maintenance mode, which has the risk of "over-repair" or "repair failure":

[0010] Single vibration monitoring means: only install acceleration sensor to monitor the axial vibration of the kiln body, ignore the radial vibration (accounting for 60%) and torsional vibration (sensitive to gear wear). The measured data of a certain steel plant shows that the traditional system has a false negative rate of 32% for gear box failure.

[0011] Insufficient acoustic feature analysis: abnormal combustion can produce noise in a specific frequency band (such as 2-4kHz frequency band related to ring forming), but the traditional system does not integrate acoustic sensors, resulting in an alarm triggered when the ring thickness is >50mm, and at this time the cleaning needs to be stopped for 48 hours.

[0012] In summary, the traditional lime kiln monitoring system has significant shortcomings in data fusion, control accuracy, equipment management, etc., and cannot meet the needs of modern industry for energy saving and consumption reduction, intelligent operation and maintenance. The present application aims to solve the above technical bottlenecks by means of multi-source data dynamic fusion and predictive maintenance, and provides a complete solution for the intelligent upgrading of lime kiln. SUMMARY

The edge computing node uses Raspberry Pi 4B+FPGA acceleration card, which carries LSTM neural network accelerator to complete time synchronization, dimension unification and outlier elimination of sensor data through edge computing node. The LSTM accelerator compresses the original data dimension to 1 / 20 of the original size, and can retain more than 95% of the key features. The edge computing node further comprises a thermal imaging manifold learning unit, which uses t-SNE algorithm to reduce the 640x480 temperature matrix collected by the thermal imager to 16-dimensional manifold features to retain the topological structure of temperature gradient.
