Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of iron and steel metallurgy, logistics simulation, and intelligent manufacturing. More specifically, it relates to a logistics simulation method for the casting-rolling interface based on multi-agent technology. Background Art

[0002] Under the development requirements of the new era and the strong promotion of new technologies, intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing have become the mainstream directions for the transformation and upgrading of the iron and steel industry. In the bar and wire rod production line, the continuous casting-rolling section generally includes three main processes: continuous casting, reheating furnace, and rolling. Its main function is to solidify molten steel into billets and roll them into steel products. Taking the energy consumption of typical bar and wire rod rolling production as an example, the energy consumed for billet heating accounts for about 80%, and the energy consumption for steel rolling only accounts for about 15%. The direct rolling technology and hot charging and hot delivery technology can enable the billets after continuous casting to enter the rolling mill for rolling without passing through the reheating furnace or after supplementing part of the heat in the reheating furnace, with remarkable energy-saving effects.

[0003] In recent years, in the field of long profiles, especially bar and wire rod technology, many domestic iron and steel enterprises have tried the direct rolling process without using a reheating furnace for continuous casting billets, but most of them have not achieved ideal results. High casting speed continuous casting reflects the requirements of efficient and green development of the iron and steel manufacturing process and has been gradually promoted and applied in the industry. The production mode of one continuous casting machine for multiple rolling lines has become the mainstream design, production, and operation mode of iron and steel enterprises, and at the same time, it has also put forward higher requirements for the logistics at the casting-rolling interface. The core of the direct rolling technology or hot charging and hot delivery technology lies in the connection between the continuous casting and rolling processes. Whether large-scale direct rolling or hot charging and hot delivery can be achieved is closely related to the logistics level at the casting-rolling interface.

[0043] Embodiment 2

The main equipment is 2 8-strand billet continuous casters, mainly producing small billets of 150×150mm and 165mm×165mm. The normal casting speed is 3.5 - 4.5m / min, and the maximum casting speed can reach 5.8 - 6.0m / min; there are 4 bar and wire rod rolling lines, and the required rolling start temperature is 880 - 920°C; there are 4 walking beam reheating furnaces for providing high-temperature billets to the rolling line during non-direct rolling; a combined rail bending roller table is used in the connection area, and the traveling path of the billet is controlled by a switch to perform direct rolling, hot charging or offline. Build a continuous casting agent, a connection area agent, a steel rolling agent, a billet agent, and a scheduling agent, and perform logistics simulation through the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: According to the continuous casting and steel rolling production processes and the plane layout, divide the casting-rolling interface into a continuous casting area, a connection area, and a steel rolling area. Combine factors such as the process flow, production line equipment, and logistics process to build a continuous casting agent, a connection area agent, a steel rolling agent, a billet agent, and a scheduling agent; build a digital simulation model according to a 1:1 ratio;

[0046] Step 2: According to the continuous casting production plan, steel rolling production plan and the logistics path of the casting and rolling interface, formulate global goals based on multiple constraints such as resources, time, space, temperature, etc.; input process parameters, time parameters, path parameters, logic parameters, other parameters, etc. The process parameters of this embodiment mainly include: 1# continuous casting machine produces 150×150mm square billets, 8 streams are turned on, and the pulling speed of each stream is about 4.0m / min; 2# continuous casting machine produces 150×150mm square billets, 6 streams are turned on, and the pulling speed of each stream is about 4.0m / min; 1# rolling line has an hourly capacity of 280t / h, using direct rolling; 2# rolling line has an hourly capacity of 260t / h, using hot delivery and cold loading; 3# rolling line has an hourly capacity of 280t / h, using direct rolling mode; 4# rolling line does not produce;

[0047] Step 3: According to the global goal of maximizing the direct rolling rate, the scheduling agent uses time-space conversion, process coupling and other methods to decompose the global goal into local goals, establish an intelligent scheduling model, take each billet as a local goal, and take all the billets in the connection area as a whole. According to the steel signal of the rolling line, the steel signal of the heating furnace, the billet position, and the time when the billet arrives at each node, the billet agent's travel path is planned in the order of direct rolling, hot delivery, and offline. The temperature of the billet agent at each node is calculated through the temperature evolution model to determine whether the process requirements are met. If not, it will be offline;

[0048] Step 4: Through the division of labor and cooperation among the continuous casting agent, the connection area agent, the steel rolling agent, and the scheduling agent, the simulation model is run at a time multiple of 0.1 to 1000 to simulate the logistics process of the billet agent group at the casting and rolling interface to verify the rationality of the model logic and the correctness of the model operation;

[0049] Step 5: Set the maintenance plan and abnormal shutdown status input, collect and analyze the simulation results such as data, charts, animations, etc. of the model operation, evaluate the model performance, adjust the model parameters, and optimize the intelligent scheduling model;

[0050] Step 6: Output simulation results of indicators such as production capacity, logistics capacity, equipment load, and logistics plan to form a rule base and knowledge base, optimize the logistics process of the casting and rolling interface, find the problematic links in the casting and rolling interface, adjust the problems in the process plan, improve the direct rolling rate and hot delivery rate, reduce the heat loss of the ingot, reduce energy consumption, and promote the green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading of the steel industry.

[0051] The simulation results show that the steel rolling capacity has basically reached the predetermined target, the average transportation time of the ingots has been shortened by 20 to 30 seconds, the average temperature drop has been reduced by 10 to 15°C, the direct rolling rate has reached 90 to 95%, an increase of about 10%, the smoothness of logistics has been improved by about 15%, and the off-line rate of ingots due to poor logistics or unqualified temperature has been reduced by about 20%.

[0052] Through a multi-agent system, the present invention establishes a digital simulation model to simulate the logistics situation at the casting and rolling interface, obtains key information such as the optimal logistics plan, logistics capacity, and theoretical production capacity, conducts a simulation demonstration on the logistics capacity at the casting and rolling interface, and provides important support for the management and decision-making in the planning, design, and operation of the logistics system.

[0053] The above has schematically described the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive, and what is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual situation is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, creatively design a structural manner and an embodiment similar to the technical solution, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
