[0002] As is well known, electric arc furnaces can be used to smelt metals such as scrap steel. As the name suggests, an AC electric arc furnace refers to an electric arc furnace powered by AC electricity. Electrical energy from the AC grid is converted into a circuit via a converter and three-phase electrodes, generating an arc current inside the furnace for smelting metals.

[0003] However, during the process of metal smelting changing from a solid state to a molten state, the resistance value will change abruptly, causing damage to the converter device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a control method and related device for AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment to solve the problem of converter device damage caused by sudden changes in the resistance of smelted material in the prior art.

[0006] The method includes:

[0007] Monitor the state of the material being smelted in the AC electric arc furnace;

[0008] If the state of the material being smelted in the AC electric arc furnace changes to a molten state, the selector switch module is controlled to switch from the state where the first terminal and the third terminal are connected to the state where the first terminal and the second terminal are connected.

[0009] Secondly, this application provides a control device for an AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment, the AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment including a selection switch module, a converter module, an AC electric arc furnace, and electrodes; the first terminal of the selection switch module is connected to the AC power grid; the second terminal of the selection switch module is connected to the input terminal of the converter module; the third terminal of the selection switch module is connected to the electrodes; and the output terminal of the converter module is connected to the electrodes; the converter module is used to convert the power frequency AC power into low frequency AC power.

[0022] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment includes a selection switch module K2, a converter module 10, an AC electric arc furnace, and electrodes; the first terminal of the selection switch module K2 is connected to the AC power grid; the second terminal of the selection switch module K2 is connected to the input terminal of the converter module 10; the third terminal of the selection switch module K2 is connected to the electrodes; and the output terminal of the converter module 10 is connected to the electrodes; the converter module 10 is used to convert the power frequency AC power into low frequency AC power.

[0025] Specifically, the converter module 10 includes a rectifier module DC / AC and an inverter module AC / DC. The AC terminal of the rectifier module DC / AC is connected to the input terminal of the converter module 10, the DC terminal of the rectifier module DC / AC is connected to the DC terminal of the inverter module AC / DC, and the AC terminal of the inverter module AC / DC is connected to the output terminal of the converter module 10.

[0026] In this embodiment, the AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment also includes a cabinet, a control terminal 20, a human-machine interface module 30, and a heat dissipation module. The cabinet provides a protective enclosure for the internal components, shielding them and isolating them from personnel. The human-machine interface module 30 allows users to easily and quickly set equipment operating parameters for different materials being smelted, ensuring the equipment operates at its optimal smelting state and reducing smelting time and energy consumption. The heat dissipation module monitors the temperature of the equipment inside the cabinet and activates when the temperature exceeds a preset temperature to dissipate heat and maintain optimal operating conditions.

[0027] In this embodiment, the execution entity is a control terminal, which is used to control the power supply of the electrodes.

[0028] See Figure 2 The document illustrates a flowchart of the control method for the AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment provided in this embodiment, which is described in detail below:

[0029] S101: Monitor the state of the material being smelted in the AC electric arc furnace.

[0030] S102: If the state of the material being smelted in the AC electric arc furnace changes to a molten state, then the selection switch module K2 is controlled to switch from the connection state of the first end and the third end to the connection state of the first end and the second end.

[0031] In this embodiment, if the temperature does not reach a certain value, the material to be smelted is in a solid state. When the material to be smelted is heated to a certain temperature, it changes from a solid state to a molten state. This process causes a sudden change in the resistance of the electrode. To avoid damage to the converter device due to the sudden change in resistance, the control terminal controls the selection switch module K2 to switch from the off state to the on state of the first and third terminals when the material to be smelted is in a solid state. This allows the AC power grid to directly supply the power frequency AC power to the electrode, thereby enabling the material to be smelted to quickly enter the molten state. After the material to be smelted enters the molten state, the control terminal controls the selection switch module K2 to switch from the on state of the first and third terminals to the on state of the first and second terminals. The converter converts the power frequency AC power into low frequency AC power. After the electrode receives the low frequency AC power, it continues to smelt the molten material, which can reduce the power consumption of the equipment.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S101 includes:

[0033] The state of the material being smelted in the AC electric arc furnace is determined based on the resistance value of the material being smelted in the AC electric arc furnace.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S101 further includes:

[0035] S201: Real-time calculation of the resistance change rate of the smelted material;

[0036] S202: If the resistance change rate of the smelted material is detected to exceed a first preset threshold, and after the resistance change rate of the smelted material exceeds the first preset threshold, the resistance change rate of the smelted material is detected to remain below a second preset threshold for a first preset time, then it is determined that the state of the smelted material has changed to a molten state.

[0037] In this embodiment, the resistance of the smelted material is very high when it is in a solid state. When the smelted material changes from a solid state to a molten state, the resistance drops sharply until the smelted material enters a molten state, at which point the resistance will stabilize. Therefore, this embodiment can determine whether the smelted material has become molten based on the above-mentioned change law of the resistance change rate of the smelted material.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the rate of change of resistance of the material being smelted is monitored. If the rate of change of resistance exceeds a first preset threshold, timing begins at the moment the rate of change of resistance exceeds the first preset threshold. When the timing reaches a preset cumulative duration, the control terminal determines that the state of the material being smelted has changed to a molten state. The preset cumulative duration can be determined based on previous experiments.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S201 includes:

[0040] The voltage and current values ​​of the electrode terminals are obtained according to a preset sampling period;

[0041] Divide the voltage value of the same sampling period by the current value to obtain the resistance value of the smelted material;

[0042] The rate of change of resistance is calculated based on the resistance of the smelted material over multiple sampling periods.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a voltage and current sensor (CT) is installed on the wire in front of the electrode. The voltage and current values ​​of the electrode are collected by the voltage and current sensor (CT) to calculate the resistance change rate of the smelted material.

[0044] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment includes a main switch K1; the main switch is connected in series between the AC power grid and the first terminal of the selection switch module K2; before S101, the method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0045] When the main switch is detected to be closed, the selector switch module K2 is controlled to switch from the open state to the closed state of the first and third terminals.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment further includes a mechanical drive module connected to the electrode; before controlling the selection switch module K2 to switch from an open state to an on state of the first and third terminals when the main switch is detected to be closed, the method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0047] The electrode is controlled to descend to a preset depth inside the AC electric arc furnace by a mechanical drive module, and the main switch is closed when the electrode descends to the preset depth.

[0048] In this embodiment, the electrodes of the AC electric arc furnace are three-phase electrodes. The mechanical drive module can control the lifting speed of the three-phase electrodes based on the three-phase voltage of the three-phase electrodes to achieve synchronous lifting of the three-phase electrodes, so that the three-phase electrodes can be synchronously lowered to the preset depth of the AC electric arc furnace.

[0049] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can monitor the state of the smelted material in the AC electric arc furnace; when the smelted material is in a solid state in the AC electric arc furnace, the AC power grid can be directly used to power the electrodes; when the smelted material becomes molten, the selection switch module K2 can be controlled to switch from the connection state of the first terminal and the third terminal to the connection state of the first terminal and the second terminal, thereby avoiding damage to the converter module 10 caused by sudden changes in the resistance of the smelted material, ensuring the safe operation of the AC electric arc furnace smelting equipment, and at the same time, using low-frequency AC power to power the electrodes to smelt metal can reduce energy consumption.
