Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blast furnace ironmaking, and in particular to a blast furnace local nodule detection method, electronic equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] When the blast furnace is in operation, the charge enters the blast furnace from the top of the furnace, and the gas flows from the bottom to the top. At high temperature, it is mixed with coke and burned to convert the charge into molten iron, which gradually drips from the top to the bottom. However, under certain conditions, such as frequent and large-scale temperature fluctuations near the furnace wall, a lot of charge powder, and increased alkalinity of the furnace wall, it will cause the charge, solvent and other substances to adhere to the furnace wall, and form nodules over time. The furnace nodules may be distributed on one side of the furnace wall, or they may be ring-shaped and seriously damage the shape of the blast furnace wall. The charge at the nodule site descends slowly, and the gas flow does not rise smoothly, resulting in suspended material and collapsed material, affecting normal production and even shortening the normal service life of the blast furnace. In addition, due to the closed structure of the blast furnace and the particularity of its operation, it is very troublesome and risky to deal with the furnace nodules. Therefore, the key to nodules is prevention, timely discovery and timely treatment to avoid a serious problem. Real-time monitoring of the furnace thickness, analysis of the thickness change trend of each part, discovery of excessively thickened parts and merging them, can detect local nodules earlier, and timely take treatment measures to ensure safe production. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting local nodules in a blast furnace, an electronic device and a storage medium, which can detect nodules at an early stage and take treatment measures in time to ensure safe production.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for detecting local nodules in a blast furnace, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step S1, obtaining historical data of the thickness of each part of the furnace wall within a certain period of time, wherein the historical data is time series data;

[0006] Step S2, filtering the historical data of the thickness of each part of the furnace wall to generate second time series data of each part of the furnace wall;

[0007] Step S3, analyzing the second time series data of each part of the furnace wall to determine whether nodule formation occurs;

[0008] Step S4: Analyze the sites where nodules occur and merge them when the merging conditions are met.

[0009] Furthermore, the filtering process in step S2 is to filter the historical data of furnace wall thickness using a sliding window filtering algorithm, which specifically includes:

[0010] (1) Assume that the historical data set is X{x1,x2,x3,…,x n}, set the window queue with a length of k;

[0011] (2) Take the first k data of X and input them into the window queue, and calculate the filtered data as

[0012]

[0013] (3) The window moves back one position and updates the window queue, which is (x2, x3, ..., x k+1}, calculate the filtered value again according to the above formula;

[0014] (4) Continue to move the window backward until it reaches the end of the set X, generating the second time series data Y (y1, y2, y3, ...}).

[0015] Furthermore, in order to maintain the consistency of the data length before and after filtering, the second time series data Y is expressed as (y1, y2, y3, ..., y n-k+1 ,y n-k+2 , …, y n}, where y1 to y n-k+1 is obtained by filtering, y n-k+2 =x n-k+2 , ..., y n =x n .

[0016] Furthermore, the method for determining whether nodulation occurs in step S3 is specifically as follows:

[0017] (1) Set the thickness change threshold to δ and the thickness threshold to δ T , set the time period to T;

[0018] (2) Traverse the second time series data and set the two adjacent data as y m ,y m+1 ,like

[0019] y m >δ T

[0020] and

[0021] |y m+1 -y m |<δ

[0022] Then time m is temporarily set as the starting point of nodulation;

[0023] (3) Search backward from the starting point of the nodule until the

[0024] |y m+j -y m+j+1 |>δ

[0025] Then the time m+j+1 is considered as the end point of nodule formation;

[0026] (4) If it exists

[0027] (j+1)ΔT>T

[0028] Among them, ΔT is the sampling period, then it is considered that nodulation has indeed occurred;

[0029] (5) If no nodule endpoint is found, and

[0030] (nm)ΔT>T

[0031] It is considered that nodulation has occurred;

[0032] (6) Writing nodule data into a nodule list, wherein the nodule data includes the start time, end time, nodule location and nodule thickness of the nodule.

[0033] Furthermore, the nodule site merging conditions in step S4 are specifically:

[0034] Assume that the start time of the two nodules is T1 and T2 respectively, and the locations of the nodules are {p1, q1, r1} and {p2, q2, r2} respectively. If the condition is satisfied

[0035] ①|T1-T2|<Δt

[0036] ②

[0037] Among them, Δt is the set time threshold, ΔL is the set distance threshold, and the two nodules are merged.

[0038] Furthermore, the nodule site merging operation in step S4 is specifically as follows:

[0039] (1) The minimum time of the nodulation start at the two locations is taken as the start time;

[0040] (2) The maximum of the two nodule ending times is taken as the ending time;

[0041] (3) Nodule thickness is the maximum of the two nodule thicknesses;

[0042] (4) The nodule position with the maximum nodule thickness is taken as the nodule position after merging;

[0043] (5) Add the two nodules before the merger to the member list of the nodule after the merger;

[0044] (6) Update the nodule list, add the merged nodule data to the nodule list, and delete the original two nodule data from the nodule list.

[0045] The second aspect of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the method for detecting local nodules in a blast furnace as described in any scheme of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0046] The third aspect of the present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the processor executes, the steps in the method for detecting local nodules in a blast furnace as described in any scheme of the first aspect of the present invention are implemented.

[0047] The present invention achieves the following technical effects:

[0048] The method monitors the furnace thickness in real time, analyzes the thickness variation trend of each part, finds and merges the excessively thickened parts, and can detect local nodules at an early stage, thereby taking timely treatment measures to ensure safe production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] Figure 1 It is a general flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0051] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes an application example of a method for detecting local nodules in a blast furnace. The method can continuously monitor the thickness of the blast furnace wall and find the nodule location by analyzing the thickness change trend of each part. The method includes the following steps:

[0053] Step S1, obtaining historical data of the thickness of each part of the furnace wall within half an hour.

[0054] Step S2: Filter the thickness history data to remove small disturbances and generate second time series data (which can be displayed in the form of thickness data curve or other data). The filtering process is as follows:

[0055] The sliding window filtering algorithm is used to filter the historical data. The window length is set to 4. The historical data set is X{x1, x2, x3, ..., x n},but

[0056] (1) Set the window queue length to 4;

[0057] (2) Take the first 4 data of X and input them into the window queue, and calculate the filtered data as

[0058]

[0059] (3) The window moves backward one position and updates the window queue to {x2, x3, …, x5}. The filtered value y2 is calculated again according to the above formula.

[0060] (4) Continue to move the window backward until it reaches the end of the set X, generating the second time series data Y(y1, y2, y3, ...}.

[0061] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the consistency of the data length before and after filtering, the second time series data Y is processed in the following manner: when the sliding window reaches the end of the data, the filtering process is stopped, that is, the data on the edge are not involved in the filtering. In this way, the second time series data Y formed is represented as (y1, y2, y3, ..., y n-k+1 ,y n-k+2 , …, y n}, where y1 to y n-k+1 is obtained by filtering, y n-k+2 =x n-k+2 , ..., y n =x n .

[0062] Step S3, analyzing the second time series data generated after filtering of each part, traversing the second time series data and performing the following operations:

[0063] (1) Set the thickness change threshold as δ, set the time period as T, T is the nodule time threshold, when the nodule time length reaches time T, it is considered that the part has a nodule;

[0064] (2) Traverse the filtered data list and set two adjacent data as y m ,y m+1 ,like

[0065] y m >δ T

[0066] and

[0067] |y m+1 -y m |<δ

[0068] Then m is tentatively defined as the nodule starting point;

[0069] (3) Search backward from the starting point of the nodule until the

[0070] |y m+j -y m+j+1 |>δ

[0071] Then m+j+1 is considered to be the end point of nodulation; that is, nodulation has occurred and the nodule has fallen off.

[0072] (4) If it exists

[0073] (j+1)ΔT>T

[0074] Among them, ΔT is the sampling period, then it is considered that nodulation has indeed occurred;

[0075] (5) If no nodule endpoint is found, and

[0076] (nm)ΔT>T

[0077] It is considered that nodules have occurred and exist;

[0078] (6) Writing nodule data into a nodule list, wherein the nodule data includes the start time, end time, nodule location and nodule thickness of the nodule.

[0079] Step S4: Analyze the nodule sites and merge them when the merging conditions are met. Traverse the nodule sites, set the start time of the two nodules to be T1 and T2 respectively, and the locations where the nodules occur to be {p1, q1, r1} and {p2, q2, r2} respectively. If the conditions are met

[0080] ①|T1-T2|<Δt

[0081] ②

[0082] Where Δt is the set time threshold, and ΔL is the set distance threshold, then the two nodules are merged. An implementation method of merging is given below:

[0083] (1) The minimum time of the nodulation start at the two locations is taken as the start time;

[0084] (2) The maximum of the two nodule ending times is taken as the ending time;

[0085] (3) Nodule thickness is the maximum of the two nodule thicknesses;

[0086] (4) The nodule position with the maximum nodule thickness is taken as the nodule position after merging;

[0087] (5) Add the two nodules before the merger to the member list of the nodule after the merger;

[0088] (6) Update the nodule list, add the merged nodule data to the nodule list, and delete the original two nodule data from the nodule list.

[0089] The method monitors the furnace thickness in real time, analyzes the thickness variation trend of each part, finds and merges the excessively thickened parts, and can detect local nodules at an early stage, thereby taking timely treatment measures to ensure safe production.
