Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bauxite sorting, and in particular to a bauxite identification method and device. Background Art

[0002] Bauxite, also known as bauxite, is a general term for ores primarily composed of gibbsite, boehmite, or diaspore. Bauxite is widely used in my country's industrial sector, and annual demand for bauxite is enormous. Bauxite often coexists with iron oxides and hydroxides, anatase, and clay minerals such as kaolinite and chlorite. It sometimes also contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. Bauxite can be classified into three categories based on the impurities it contains: high-alkaline bauxite, high-titanium bauxite, and high-iron bauxite.

[0003] The process of separating bauxite concentrate from bauxite ore involves removing gangue minerals and harmful impurities, separating high-aluminum minerals from low-aluminum minerals, and obtaining a concentrate with a high aluminum-silicon ratio. Currently, the main beneficiation process for bauxite utilizes different beneficiation processes depending on the type of ore. For example, the beneficiation process for gibbsite-kaolinite bauxite often involves initial mud and sand separation, followed by coarse grinding followed by magnetic separation for iron removal, and then mud grinding followed by flotation. However, this separation method is economically inefficient, so pre-selection and waste disposal are often used to significantly reduce the grinding input, effectively lowering subsequent beneficiation and bauxite smelting costs. This facilitates the development and utilization of low-aluminum-silicon bauxite ores and maximizes resource utilization.

[0004] Traditional bauxite separation methods generally include:

[0005] (1) An optoelectronic separator using an X-ray source performs a transmission scan of the selected ore using X-rays to obtain the atomic number data of the minerals contained in the ore, establish an identification model, identify the ore and the debris, and then drive the actuator to sort the ore. However, for bauxite, the sorting goal is to increase the aluminum-silicon ratio. Since the atomic numbers of aluminum and silicon are similar, the K values ​​obtained after X-ray transmission scanning are very close, making it difficult to distinguish between the two elements. Therefore, it is impossible to sort bauxite using an optoelectronic separator using X-ray scanning.

[0006] (2) Photoelectric sorting machines using image technology use color or other identifiable features on the image and use deep learning and other technical means to sort the types of ore. However, the working principle of image recognition technology is to detect salient areas, that is, the part that contains the most information about the image or object. It achieves this by isolating the part or feature with the most information in the selected image and locating it, while ignoring other features that may be less interesting. This process uses an image recognition algorithm, also known as an image classifier, which takes the image as input and outputs the content contained in the image. Since the key to image recognition is to have unified information differences between different sorting targets, some bauxite concentrates and tailings do have such characteristics and can be sorted by image recognition technology. However, there is still a large part of bauxite ore that is complex and has diverse incoming materials. There is no obvious difference between concentrates and tailings. This also leads to extremely high image recognition training costs and low accuracy, and it is not suitable for sorting such targets. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Cd2=(G2-G1) / 127;

[0024] Cd3=(B2-B1) / 127;

[0025] To obtain the target value Cr, the specific steps are:

[0027] The target value Cr is compared with a preset value. If the target value Cr is within the range of the preset value, it is marked as tailings. If the target value Cr is not within the range of the preset value, it is marked as concentrate.

[0028] Optionally, when the time for the surface of the bauxite to absorb the agent reaches a first preset time, the developer is sprayed on the surface of the bauxite.

[0029] Optionally, the first preset time is 1s-60s.

[0030] Optionally, when the time for the surface of the bauxite to absorb the developer reaches a second preset time, the surface of the bauxite is photographed.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0052] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0053] The present invention provides a bauxite identification method, which is applicable to all bauxites and can improve the sorting accuracy of bauxite.

[0054] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the above bauxite identification method includes the following steps:

[0055] S1. Use the reagent to moisten the surface of the bauxite.

[0056] Preferably, in order to ensure that the surface of the bauxite is completely wetted by the agent and to enhance the capillary absorption phenomenon on the surface of the bauxite, when wetting the bauxite with the agent, the bauxite can be vibrated to make it roll, thereby ensuring that the surface of the bauxite can be sprayed with the agent, avoiding affecting the recognition effect due to a certain part of the bauxite surface not being wetted by the agent, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of bauxite identification.

[0057] Furthermore, the selected agent should be able to enhance the capillary absorption phenomenon of bauxite.

[0058] S2. Spray a color developer that matches the reagent on the surface of the moistened bauxite.

[0059] Because bauxite concentrate has a large number of tiny capillaries on its surface, it is highly absorbent. However, the surface of tailings is dense, with fewer capillaries, and absorbs almost no water. Therefore, bauxite concentrate is able to absorb the reagent. After spraying the developer on the bauxite concentrate, the concentrate surface essentially takes on the color of the developer, as it lacks the reagent. However, bauxite tailings, because they do not absorb water, remain covered with a layer of the reagent. After spraying the developer on the bauxite tailings, the attached reagent reacts with the developer, causing the tailings surface to change color, resulting in the color of the developer and the developer interacting.

[0060] Furthermore, since it takes a certain amount of time for bauxite to absorb the reagent, before spraying the color developer on the surface of the bauxite, it should be ensured that the bauxite absorbs the reagent for a first preset time. The first preset time is the time for the concentrate to completely absorb the reagent, so as to avoid affecting the identification accuracy of the bauxite due to the short reagent absorption time.

[0061] Optionally, the first preset time can be set according to the type of bauxite and the water absorption of the bauxite concentrate, and can be 1s to 60s. For example, it can be 1s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s, etc., and can be set according to the specific situation.

[0062] S3, taking a photo of the bauxite sprayed with the color developing agent by a color camera to obtain the photo of the bauxite.

[0063] Since the color information of the surface of the bauxite needs to be obtained, the color camera is used to take the photo. The line frequency of the color camera can be 3000 or other frequencies, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0064] Preferably, in order to ensure that the color developing agent and the reagent complete the color developing reaction before the photo is taken, the surface of the bauxite can be photographed when the time for the bauxite surface to absorb the color developing agent reaches the second preset time. The second preset time is the time for the reagent and the color developing agent to complete the color developing reaction, so as to avoid affecting the color developing effect due to insufficient reaction time of the reagent and the color developing agent.

[0065] Optionally, the second preset time can be set according to the reaction time of the reagent and the color developing agent, and can be 1s-60s. For example, it can be 1s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s, which can be set according to specific conditions.

[0066] S4, defining the color presented after the color developing agent meets the reagent as a target color, and defining the color presented by the photo as an actual color. Comparing the target color and the actual color, the bauxite with the same actual color and target color is marked as tailings, and the bauxite with different actual color and target color is marked as concentrate.

[0067] Preferably, the specific steps of comparing the target color and the actual color are as follows:

[0068] S41, obtaining the red pixel value R1, the green pixel value G1 and the blue pixel value B1 of the target color;

[0069] S42, obtaining the red pixel value R2, the green pixel value G2 and the blue pixel value B2 of the actual color;

[0070] S43, obtaining the weight Cw (Cw1, Cw2, Cw3) of the target color, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0071] Cw1=(R1 / 127)-1;

[0072] Cw2=(G1 / 127)-1;

[0073] Cw3=(B1 / 127)-1;

[0074] S44, obtaining the difference value of the actual color and the target color, and calculating the ratio Cd (Cd1, Cd2, Cd3) of the difference value and 127, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0075] Cd1=(R2-R1) / 127;

[0076] Cd2=(G2-G1) / 127;

[0077] Cd3=(B2-B1) / 127;

[0078] S45, obtaining the target value Cr, the specific steps are:

[0079] Cr=Cw1*Cd1+Cw2*Cd2+Cw3*Cd3;

[0080] S46. Compare the target value Cr with the preset value. If the target value Cr is within the range of the preset value, mark it as tailings. If the target value Cr is not within the range of the preset value, mark it as concentrate.

[0081] Furthermore, the preset value is set as needed. In this embodiment, the preset value is greater than 0 and less than 0.5.

[0082] To facilitate understanding, the above method is specifically introduced through examples:

[0083] Target color C: (214, 24, 112);

[0084] Actual color 1, C1: (0, 0, 255);

[0085] Actual color 2, C2: (220, 20, 100);

[0086] Actual color 3, C3: (120, 50, 0);

[0087] Target color weight Cw = C / 127 - 1 = (0.7, 0.8, 0.1);

[0088] C1d=(C1-C) / 127=(1.7, 0.2, 1.1);

[0089] C2d=(C2-C) / 127=(0,0,0.1);

[0090] C3d=(C3-C) / 127=(0.7, 0.2, 0.9);

[0091] C1r=Cw 1* C1d1+Cw 2* C1d2+Cw 3* C1d3=1.2+0.2+0.1=1.5;

[0092] C2r=Cw 1* C2d1+Cw 2* C2d2+Cw 3* C2d3=0+0+0=0;

[0093] C3r=Cw 1* C3d1+Cw 2* C3d2+Cw 3* C3d3=0.5+0.2+0.1=0.8;

[0094] Then C1r, C2r and C3r are compared with the preset values ​​respectively. After comparison, it is found that only C2r is within the preset value range. Therefore, the bauxite with the surface color of actual color 2 is tailings, and the bauxite with the surface color of actual color 1 and the bauxite with the surface color of actual color 3 are concentrates.

[0095] Alternatively, in one embodiment, the reagent is an alkaline solution, and the developer is a phenolphthalein solution. When the solution and the phenolphthalein solution meet, the color is purple-red. The RGB value of purple-red is near (214, 24, 112). The significant feature of purple-red is that the R1 value is the largest and greater than 120, and the G1 value is the smallest and less than 50. Therefore, when analyzing the photo of bauxite, it is possible to first determine whether the R2 value and G2 value of the actual color meet the requirement that R2 is greater than 120 and G2 is less than 20. If not, the bauxite is directly marked as concentrate. If so, the ratio of R2 to G2 can be calculated. The higher the ratio, the more purple-red the surface pixel color, that is, the closer to the target color. When the ratio is greater than the target value, it can be marked as tailings, and when the ratio is less than the target value, it is marked as concentrate. The target value can be set according to the actual situation, such as 5-8, and illustratively, it can be 5, 6, 7 or 8.

[0096] The present invention also provides a bauxite identification device, which adopts the above-mentioned bauxite identification method to identify bauxite 200 concentrate and bauxite 200 tailings with high identification accuracy.

[0097] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the bauxite identification device includes a first spray device 100, a second spray device 300, a color camera 400, and an identification device. The first spray device 100 is used to evenly cover the surface of the bauxite 200 with a first predetermined amount of reagent. The second spray device 300 is used to evenly cover the surface of the bauxite 200 after absorbing the reagent with a second predetermined amount of developer. The color camera 400 photographs the surface of the bauxite 200 to obtain color information of the surface of the bauxite 200. The identification device is electrically connected to the color camera 400, compares the actual color in the photograph with the target color, and identifies bauxite 200 concentrate and bauxite 200 tailings based on the comparison results.

[0098] The above-mentioned device can realize the identification of bauxite 200 concentrate and bauxite 200 tailings. Since bauxite 200 generally has the characteristics of strong water absorption of concentrate and almost no water absorption of tailings, compared with traditional bauxite identification devices, the above-mentioned bauxite identification device has a wider range of application and is conducive to improving the identification accuracy and sorting accuracy of bauxite 200.

[0099] Furthermore, the bauxite identification device may include a first conveying device 500 capable of conveying the bauxite 200, thereby enabling automatic identification of the bauxite 200. In one embodiment, a first spraying device 100 may be disposed above the first conveying device 500 to spray a reagent onto the surface of the bauxite 200. In another embodiment, the first spraying device 100 may be disposed below the first conveying device 500. In other embodiments, the first spraying device 100 may be disposed both above and below the first conveying device 500, depending on actual needs.

[0100] Preferably, the first conveying device 500 may further include a vibration device, and the bauxite 200 is placed in the vibration device, tumbled under the vibration of the vibration device, and the first spraying device 100 is used to spray the bauxite 200 in the vibration device, which is conducive to ensuring that the surface of the bauxite 200 is completely covered with the agent, thereby avoiding affecting the detection result due to a part of the surface of the bauxite 200 not being covered by the agent, thereby ensuring the recognition accuracy.

[0101] Preferably, the bauxite identification device may further include a second conveying device 600. The starting end of the second conveying device 600 is connected to the trailing end of the first conveying device 500, and is capable of conveying the bauxite 200 on the first conveying device 500 to the second spraying device 300. In one embodiment, the second conveying device 600 may be a slide. In other embodiments, the second conveying device 600 may also be a conveyor belt, and the configuration may be adapted as needed.

[0102] The distance between the first spray device 100 and the second spray device 300 is defined as a preset distance, which is the distance that the bauxite 200 is transferred from the first spray device 100 to the second spray device 300 after the third preset time, so as to ensure that the bauxite 200 has sufficient time to absorb the reagent, thereby avoiding the situation where the bauxite 200 does not have enough time to absorb the reagent, resulting in too much reagent on the surface of the concentrate and affecting the identification effect.

[0103] Preferably, the bauxite identification device may further include a sorting device 700 for pre-discarding the bauxite 200. The sorting device 700 can sort the concentrate to a first preset location 710 and the tailings to a second preset location 720, thereby separating the concentrate and tailings. In one embodiment, the sorting device 700 may be a nozzle. In other embodiments, the packaging device may be a robotic arm, depending on actual needs.

[0104] Further, see Figure 2 The bauxite identification device may further include a feeding device 800, which is provided with a feeding port, and the opening and closing of the feeding port can be controlled by a hydraulic gate, thereby realizing control of the feeding amount.

[0105] By using the above-mentioned bauxite identification device, it is possible to identify the concentrate and tailings of the bauxite 200 and separate the concentrate and tailings, which is beneficial for discarding the tailings and transporting the concentrate to the next process. The above-mentioned bauxite identification device is applicable to the identification of all bauxite 200, which is beneficial for improving the sorting accuracy of the bauxite 200, thereby increasing the aluminum-silicon ratio entering the next process.

[0106] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here.
