Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of automation, and relates to a method for predicting the service life of high-temperature discharge screw blade. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rotary hearth furnace process is mainly used for environmental protection treatment of dust and mud containing iron and zinc in steel enterprises, and produces metallized pellets and secondary zinc oxide powder. The process is gradually recognized and accepted in China. With the production practice, new problems of the new process are exposed, for example, the rotary hearth furnace discharge screw is used to discharge the high-temperature metallized pellets completed by roasting in the furnace, but due to the strong grinding and chipping property of the metallized pellets and the high-temperature environment, the discharge screw blade is quickly worn and needs to be replaced regularly.

[0003] The rotary hearth furnace production is a 24-hour uninterrupted continuous operation. Once the screw blade is worn too seriously, the furnace bottom will rise, causing abnormal work of the screw, seriously affecting the production stability, and even forcing the production to stop in severe cases. In order to ensure production, the blade life is currently estimated according to manual experience, and then replaced regularly. Due to the high cost of the screw blade and the poor accuracy of manual judgment, it is often easy to replace too early and cause waste or not in time, which leads to unsustainable production and cannot support the requirement of fine management. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for predicting the service life of high-temperature discharge screw blade.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0007] S1: recording the theoretical treatment material amount M0 of the screw blade design, obtaining the initial theoretical service life of the screw blade;

[0008] S2: using an endoscopic infrared imaging device to perform regular scanning detection on the axial temperature distribution of the surface of the screw blade and the distribution state of the furnace bottom material surface in the running process, identifying and analyzing the collected radiation spectrum and image, extracting the blade surface temperature distribution value and the furnace bottom material surface distribution value, and then comparing and calculating the two with the theoretical value respectively, so as to obtain the blade surface temperature difference change rate K T =T 实测 / T 理论 and the furnace bottom material surface difference change rate K H =H 实测 / H 理论 , taking the larger value of K T and K H as the blade health coefficient K i, K T =Max(K T , K H ); The theoretical value refers to the factory theoretical design value of the blade surface temperature and the furnace bottom material surface;

[0009] S3: Synchronously collect the state parameters of current, speed, displacement and duration during the operation of the discharge screw, and classify them into normal working conditions and abnormal working conditions. Abnormal working conditions do not include downtime. Then, according to the number of scans n within the corresponding operating time, calculate the average health coefficient within the period. The health coefficient during normal working conditions is α = ∑K i / n1, the health factor during abnormal working hours is β=∑K i / n2;

[0010] Among them, normal operating conditions are those that are not greater than the maximum operating value allowed by the equipment's factory design; abnormal operating conditions are those that exceed the maximum operating value allowed by the equipment's factory design;

[0011] S4: Use the calculated health coefficients α and β to correct the theoretical processing volume M0 of the spiral blade, and then deduct the accumulated processed volume M i , get the remaining processing material amount R i =(1-α-β)*M0-M i , which is the remaining life of the spiral blade;

[0012] S5: Synchronously record the spiral blade size change data W obtained during the scheduled maintenance i , and the wear degree γ=W is obtained according to the degree of change from the initial size W0 i / W0, the remaining life of the blade R i Make corrections, that is, R i =γ*R i ;

[0013] S6: When the remaining life R i When the preset level 1 threshold, i.e. 10% of the theoretical life span M0, is reached, an early warning is issued; when the level 2 threshold, i.e. 0, is reached, the life span is reset to zero;

[0014] S7: accumulating and forming a statistical database of spiral blade life data, classifying and calculating the historical life average according to normal working conditions and abnormal working conditions, and using this as feedback to correct the spiral blade theoretical life value M0.

[0015] Optionally, the historical life average values ​​are classified and counted according to normal working conditions and abnormal working conditions, and used as feedback to correct the theoretical life value M0 of the spiral blade, specifically:

[0016] 1) Level I: When the normal operating time is 80% < ≤ 100%, the average blade life is recorded as M0-I;

[0017] 2) Grade II: 60% < normal operating time ratio < 80%, the average blade life is recorded as M0-II;

[0018] 3) Grade III: < 60% of normal operating time ratio, the average blade life is recorded as M0-III.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present application are that the present application is completely different from the traditional manual prediction mode, and the automatic prediction and fine management of the screw blade life of the rotary hearth furnace discharge screw can be realized by using the present application, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the discharge screw while ensuring stable operation.
