Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of environmental parameter measurement, and in particular to a method and device for quickly and accurately determining the dryness of items in an oven. Background Art

[0002] Drying is a crucial and indispensable step in the production process of many industries. The dryness of raw materials and production supplies directly impacts product quality, production efficiency, and production costs. For example, moisture in a ceramic crucible used for melting can reduce its efficiency and service life, and even affect the gas content of the molten metal. Engineering plastics exposed to moisture can easily cause bubbles and cracks during molding, resulting in defects such as insufficient strength and poor stability. Therefore, proper drying is an essential preparatory step to prevent these defects.

[0003] Industrial ovens are commonly used drying equipment in production processes. While they offer precise temperature control, they lack a way to monitor whether items within the oven are fully dried. Workers often rely on experience to set drying times to ensure complete drying, which reduces production efficiency. Some ovens can measure internal moisture content to determine dryness, but lack scientific guidance for sensor placement, making it difficult to accurately reflect the overall moisture content within the oven. This can easily lead to misjudgments and product quality issues.

[0004] Therefore, how to scientifically guide the layout of sensors in the oven and quickly and accurately determine the dryness of items in the oven to improve industrial production efficiency is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The number of required temperature and humidity measurement modules is determined to be p, where p = max{p1, p2}.

[0025] The arrangement of the temperature and humidity measurement module is as follows:

[0026] I) if k < p, re-cluster the horizontal plane grid values, adjust the number of clusters to p, and place the temperature and humidity measurement modules at the grids where the p cluster centers are located;

[0033] 1) Set the maximum allowable error e max and the allowed mean absolute error e MAE ;

[0034] 2) Compare the air humidity value of the horizontal plane at the sensitive point obtained by measurement and calculation with the steady-state air humidity value of the horizontal plane obtained by simulation, and calculate the maximum error e1 and the mean square error e2;

[0035] 3) If e1>e max or e2>e MAE , it means the item is not dried, otherwise it means the item is dry.
