[0015] The blast furnace tuyere monitoring system comprises a high-frame-rate camera based on FPGA, a telecentric lens, a power supply system, a data transmission system, an image storage and processing system, and a high-temperature-resistant dustproof protective kit. The telecentric lens is connected to the high-frame-rate camera based on FPGA. The high-frame-rate camera based on FPGA is connected to the data transmission system. The data transmission system is connected to the image storage and processing system. The power supply system is used to supply power to the blast furnace tuyere monitoring system. The high-temperature-resistant dustproof protective kit is used for high-temperature-resistant and dustproof protection of the blast furnace tuyere monitoring system. The high-frame-rate camera based on FPGA can realize the functions of image edge extraction and brightness average value analysis in the camera body and make corresponding judgments to realize intelligent collection of tuyere images and tuyere coal injection amounts based on different brightness. The high-frame-rate camera based on FPGA shoots the blast furnace tuyere image and uploads it to the image storage and processing system through the data transmission system. The image storage and processing system is used for processing and analyzing the tuyere image. The detailed processing and analyzing steps are in steps S2-S3. The high-temperature-resistant dustproof protective kit is wrapped outside the electronic components of the entire blast furnace tuyere monitoring system to protect the internal electronic components from the influence of high temperature and coal powder of the blast furnace tuyere, so as to avoid inaccurate analysis results.

[0016] The standard for judging whether the blast furnace tuyere image is in overexposure or overdark state in this embodiment is that when the FPGA-based high-frame-rate camera judges that the gray value of the real-time collected blast furnace tuyere image is >200, it is considered that the blast furnace tuyere image is in overexposure state, and when the FPGA-based high-frame-rate camera judges that the gray value of the real-time collected blast furnace tuyere image is <100, it is considered that the blast furnace tuyere image is in overdark state.

[0017] The pre-calibration method of the blast furnace tuyere brightness in this embodiment is specifically that during the blast furnace tuyere stop-blast process, the blast furnace smelting process parameters such as different coal injection amount, blast volume, blast temperature, burden descending speed, blast furnace tapping amount, smelting period, and oxygen enrichment rate are changed to obtain the change rule of the blast furnace tuyere image brightness, and the exposure time and gain of the FPGA-based high-frame-rate camera are adjusted to obtain the brightness of the best blast furnace tuyere image effective area under different blast furnace smelting process parameters.

[0018] The judgment method of whether the blast furnace tuyere image brightness meets the standard is that the average brightness of the blast furnace tuyere image in the last 5 seconds is within the range of 150±50, that is, it is considered that the camera parameter adjustment is in place, and the blast furnace tuyere image brightness meets the standard.

[0019] S2, take the blast furnace tuyere image with a length of S=600 seconds, and take the average brightness value of each group of the blast furnace tuyere image as the tuyere brightness of the group every s=5 seconds, and take the average value of each blast furnace smelting process parameter at the same fixed time s=5 seconds, and the sample data is composed of the tuyere brightness and the average value of all blast furnace smelting process parameters, and the sample number is S / s=120;

[0021] Firstly, the base w k and c k of the new space of the kth step are calculated, (k=1, …120), wherein w k is the residual matrix E k-1 after the principal component extraction of the (k-1)th step T F k-1 F k-1T E k-1 corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix E k is the residual matrix F k-1 T E k-1 E k-1 T F k-1 corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix E k-1 extracts components t k extracts components u k-1 in the residual matrix F k Under the constraint condition of (w k ) 2 = 1 and (c k ) 2 = 1, the covariance cov(t k , u k ) is solved → max, and then the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue is solved to obtain the eigenvector w k and c k corresponding to the principal axis.

[0022] Then the first component t1 and the residual matrix E1,

[0023] t1 = E0·w1 (1)

[0024]

[0025] In formula (2)

[0026] Then the second component t2 to the seventh component t7 and the residual matrix E2 to the residual matrix E7 are solved in turn until the marginal contribution of the extracted principal component to the model prediction effect is not significant.

[0027] The partial least squares regression equation is constructed: such as formula (3)

[0028]

[0029] h takes a value of 1-7.

[0030] The variable projection importance index I j is used to measure the importance of the influence of the blast furnace smelting process parameters on the tuyere brightness, and the larger the variable projection importance index I j , the higher the importance of the influence of the blast furnace smelting process parameters on the tuyere brightness, that is, the blast furnace smelting process parameter that has the greatest impact on the blast furnace thermal system in this period.
