[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0038] 1. This system constructs a high-dimensional thermodynamic potential energy manifold data model based on raw material characteristic data and maps real-time sintering state data to the coordinates of current state particles on the manifold. This invention transforms the traditional temperature-time control dimension into a reaction path control dimension constrained by Riemannian geometry. By solving the second-order Euler-Lagrange differential equation system determined by the metric tensor field to calculate the optimal geodesic path, it effectively solves the problem of unstable sintering quality caused by raw material fluctuations and macroscopic temperature control lag in traditional refractory material production, ensuring that the material evolution proceeds along the thermodynamically optimal trajectory with the lowest energy consumption and shortest path.
[0039] 2. By introducing a micro-fracture mechanism based on the energy characterization value of acoustic emission signals, this invention achieves real-time monitoring and active intervention of the propagation of microcracks inside the material during sintering. By performing sliding window integral calculation on the acoustic emission signals and comparing it with the fracture energy barrier reference threshold obtained based on the statistics of historical fracture accident samples, the system can automatically switch between interruption protection and path tracking modes according to the energy release state in the high-temperature rapid sintering scenario that pursues density.

[0040] 3. This system overcomes the problems of invisible microscopic states and difficult data alignment in continuous production of industrial kilns by adopting a dataset construction method of offline physicochemical calibration and online data alignment, and manifold generation technology based on deep learning. It establishes a high-precision supervised learning dataset with physical truth constraints by using liquid nitrogen quenching sampling and RFID time synchronization technology, and combines variational autoencoders to extract potential features of raw materials and conditional generative adversarial networks to generate virtual phase transition potential energy data surfaces. This ensures that the geometric topology of the thermodynamic potential energy manifold data model can accurately characterize the reaction energy barrier distribution of a specific batch of raw materials, providing complete and multi-dimensional physical model support for upper-level control.
[0041] 4. This system achieves a precise mapping from the abstract manifold geometric space to the physical device control space by using a path tracking algorithm based on the covariant derivative modulus and an adaptive PID gain scheduling strategy. The system uses the connection and covariant derivative in Riemannian geometry to calculate and quantify the vector deviation between the actual evolution trend and the optimal geodesy.
