Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary material feeding technology for converters in steel plants, and particularly to a dynamic tracking system and method for auxiliary material feeding. Background Technology

[0002] Auxiliary raw materials are essential for converter smelting, and auxiliary raw material charging is a crucial step in steelmaking. Typically, several converters are equipped with one auxiliary raw material charging system. This system generally consists of multiple underground silos, several conveyor belts, several unloading trolleys, and several high-level silos corresponding to each converter. Different types of materials are unloaded from the underground silos onto the conveyor belts via vibrating feeders. The conveyor belts then transport the materials to the high-level silos, where they are unloaded by the unloading trolleys to the appropriate high-level silos for converter smelting. Since one charging system serves multiple converters, to improve charging efficiency, it is necessary to continuously switch material types and silos during conveyor belt operation. This is achieved by controlling the start and stop of the underground silo feeders to create belt gaps, allowing the unloading trolleys to switch target silos.

[0003] During the unloading process of auxiliary materials, an auxiliary material recorder is usually assigned to assist the unloading personnel in unloading the corresponding auxiliary materials. The conventional method is to pre-plan the order of auxiliary material discharge and make a record. The auxiliary material recorder then directs the unloading personnel to unload the corresponding auxiliary materials according to the recorded order.

[0004] However, this method still has the following problems:

[0005] (1) When the unloading speed of the unloading personnel is too fast, the auxiliary material recorder cannot indicate the location of the corresponding auxiliary material in time. This means that the unloading speed must be limited to a low range, which greatly affects the efficiency of unloading auxiliary materials.

[0006] (2) If the unloading efficiency is too fast, the auxiliary materials will mix during unloading.

[0007] (3) During the unloading of auxiliary materials, a relatively long blank period of auxiliary materials must be left on the conveyor belt to facilitate the unloading of auxiliary materials. Although this can optimize the problem of auxiliary material mixing, it also reduces the efficiency of auxiliary material unloading to a certain extent, making the unloading time of auxiliary materials longer, thereby reducing the capacity of converter smelting.

[0065] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0066] See Figure 1 As can be seen, this embodiment provides a dynamic tracking system for auxiliary material feeding, the tracking system comprising:

[0067] The auxiliary raw material underground silo 1 has M preset storage units 11 arranged along the auxiliary raw material transportation direction. The M preset storage units 11 are used to store N kinds of auxiliary raw materials, where M>N. Each preset storage unit 11 has a discharge port below it. The auxiliary raw material underground silo 1 is the main part for storing auxiliary raw materials. The auxiliary raw materials stored in the auxiliary raw material underground silo 1 are not single, that is, each auxiliary raw material underground silo 1 stores multiple auxiliary raw materials. By setting up multiple auxiliary raw material underground silos 1, and each auxiliary raw material underground silo 1 can also store more different kinds of auxiliary raw materials. Under the premise of satisfying the requirement that each auxiliary raw material has a detectable location, the storage capacity of auxiliary raw materials is further expanded.

[0068] Along the direction of auxiliary material transportation, a portion of the auxiliary material transport belt 2 is located below the discharge port of the underground auxiliary material silo 1. The auxiliary material transport belt 2 is equipped with multiple pre-set transport units 21 for transporting auxiliary materials. Each pre-set transport unit 21 is used to transport auxiliary materials discharged from a pre-set storage unit 11. Specifically, the auxiliary material transport belt 2 is driven by its own motor to transport the auxiliary materials. The multiple pre-set transport units 21 on the auxiliary material transport belt 2 and the multiple pre-set storage units 11 in the underground auxiliary material silo 1 can be understood as components with the same structure installed in different devices. Through the coordinated storage and transportation relationship between the auxiliary material transport belt 2 and the underground auxiliary material silo 1, the required auxiliary materials are accurately obtained from the underground auxiliary material silo 1 and transported out of the underground auxiliary material silo 1 via the auxiliary material transport belt 2, thereby realizing the outflow of auxiliary materials.

[0069] An auxiliary material unloading vehicle 3 is located at one end of the auxiliary material transport belt 2. The auxiliary material unloading vehicle 3 moves along a preset track parallel to the direction of auxiliary material transport. The auxiliary material unloading vehicle 3 is used to transfer the auxiliary materials in the preset transport unit 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the auxiliary material unloading vehicle 3 has an auxiliary material unloading arm. The auxiliary material unloading arm unloads the required auxiliary materials from the auxiliary material transport belt 2. The auxiliary material out-of-warehouse and unloading are completed through the auxiliary material transport belt 2, the auxiliary material underground silo 1, and the auxiliary material unloading vehicle 3.

[0070] The PLC controller 4 is electrically connected to the auxiliary raw material underground silo 1, the auxiliary raw material conveyor belt 2, and the auxiliary raw material unloading vehicle 3. The PLC controller 4 is used for:

[0071] Each of the preset storage units 11 is labeled with an auxiliary material code corresponding to the auxiliary material stored therein;

[0072] When auxiliary materials in the preset storage unit 11 are transferred to one of the preset transport units 21, the preset transport unit 21 that receives the auxiliary materials is marked with the auxiliary material code corresponding to the auxiliary materials it transports.

[0073] Based on the unloading requirements of auxiliary materials, control instructions are generated to control the preset storage unit 11 to discharge materials to the preset transport unit 21, and control instructions are generated to control the auxiliary material unloading vehicle 3 to transfer auxiliary materials corresponding to the unloading requirements of the auxiliary materials.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the PLC controller 4 is an important component of the tracking system that issues control commands to the auxiliary raw material underground silo 1 and the auxiliary raw material unloading vehicle 3. The PLC controller 4 acquires auxiliary raw material storage information from each preset storage unit 11 in the auxiliary raw material underground silo 1 and auxiliary raw material transport information from each preset transport unit 21 in the auxiliary raw material transport belt 2. Each preset storage unit 11 and each preset transport unit 21 is marked, ensuring that each preset storage unit 11 and each preset transport unit 21 has an information corresponding to the auxiliary raw material it carries. By marking and understanding the positional relationship between each preset storage unit 11 and each preset transport unit 21, the auxiliary raw materials are automatically transferred from the preset storage unit 11 to the preset transport unit 21 without auxiliary raw materials. By mastering the position of each preset transport unit 21 carrying auxiliary raw materials and the information of the carried auxiliary raw materials, the required auxiliary raw materials are accurately unloaded from the auxiliary raw material transport belt 2 by the auxiliary raw material unloading car 3. This not only improves the unloading efficiency of auxiliary raw materials, but also avoids the problems of low efficiency of manual operation and mixing of auxiliary raw materials during unloading, shortens the blank period of auxiliary raw materials on the belt, and optimizes the production capacity of converter smelting.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the tracking system further includes an HMI monitoring terminal 5 that is communicatively connected to the PLC controller. The PLC controller 4 is also used to visualize the auxiliary material storage information in each preset storage unit 11 and the auxiliary material transportation information in each preset transportation unit 21 on the HMI monitoring terminal 5. The PLC controller 4 visualizes the auxiliary material storage information in each preset storage unit 11 and the auxiliary material transportation information in each preset transportation unit 21 on the HMI monitoring terminal 5. Operators can set a plan for unloading auxiliary materials by observing the images on the HMI monitoring terminal 5, realizing manual planning intervention and further optimizing the efficiency of auxiliary material unloading.

[0076] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the PLC controller 4 is also used to acquire auxiliary material information stored in each of the preset storage units 11, generate auxiliary material storage information, the auxiliary material storage information including the number of each preset storage unit 11 storing auxiliary materials and the name of the auxiliary materials stored therein, acquire auxiliary material information transported in each of the preset transport units 21, generate auxiliary material transport information, the auxiliary material transport information including the number of each preset transport unit 21 storing auxiliary materials and the name of the auxiliary materials stored therein. Specifically, in this embodiment, considering that simply marking each preset storage unit 11 and / or the preset transport unit 21 that receives auxiliary materials can only mark part of the auxiliary material information when the auxiliary materials change, this embodiment also gives the PLC controller 4 the function of acquiring auxiliary material information stored in each preset storage unit 11 and auxiliary material information transported in each preset transport unit 21, thereby improving the completeness of all auxiliary material related information in the system.

[0077] Furthermore, in some embodiments, considering that the single transfer of auxiliary materials from each of the preset storage units 11 does not include information on the storage of auxiliary materials in each preset storage unit 11 after the transfer and after the filling of new auxiliary materials, this embodiment also configures the PLC controller 4 with the following functions:

[0078] Each preset storage unit 11 without auxiliary raw materials is acquired, and storage blank information is generated. Auxiliary raw materials corresponding to the storage requirements of auxiliary raw materials are stored in each preset storage unit 11 corresponding to the storage blank information. After storing new auxiliary raw materials, auxiliary raw material storage filling information is generated according to the auxiliary raw material storage requirements and the storage blank information. The auxiliary raw material storage information is updated according to the auxiliary raw material filling information. Specifically, in this embodiment, by acquiring the information of each preset storage unit 11 without auxiliary raw materials and the subsequent filling auxiliary raw material information, the real-time acquisition of auxiliary raw material information in each preset storage unit 11 is realized, thereby further optimizing the smoothness of auxiliary raw material unloading.

[0079] Furthermore, in some embodiments, considering that unloading auxiliary materials from each of the preset transport units 21 individually does not store information about the auxiliary materials in each preset transport unit 21 after unloading and after transferring new auxiliary materials, this embodiment also configures the PLC controller 4 with the following functions:

[0080] Each preset transport unit 21 without auxiliary raw materials is acquired, and transport blank information is generated. Corresponding auxiliary raw material storage information is acquired based on the auxiliary raw material transport requirements. Each corresponding preset storage unit 11 is then acquired based on the corresponding auxiliary raw material storage information. Auxiliary raw materials in each corresponding preset storage unit 11 are transferred to each preset transport unit 21 corresponding to the transport blank information. After transporting new auxiliary raw materials, auxiliary raw material transport filling information is generated based on the transport blank information and the corresponding auxiliary raw material storage information. The auxiliary raw material transport information is then updated based on the auxiliary raw material transport filling information. Specifically, in this embodiment, by acquiring information from each preset transport unit 21 without auxiliary raw materials and the subsequently transferred auxiliary raw material information, real-time acquisition of auxiliary raw material information in each preset transport unit 21 is achieved, thereby further optimizing the smoothness of auxiliary raw material unloading.

[0081] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that this embodiment also provides a method for dynamic tracking of auxiliary material feeding, the tracking method including:

[0082] S100: Mark each preset storage unit with the auxiliary material code corresponding to the auxiliary material stored therein. By marking each preset storage unit, the auxiliary material information stored in each preset storage unit and the location where the auxiliary material is stored can be obtained.

[0083] It should be noted that, considering that a single marker can only indicate part of the auxiliary material information when the auxiliary material changes, this embodiment also includes the following examples:

[0084] S001, Obtain the auxiliary material information stored in each of the preset storage units, and generate auxiliary material storage information, wherein the auxiliary material storage information includes the preset storage unit number storing the auxiliary material and the name of the auxiliary material;

[0085] S002, obtain the auxiliary material information carried in each of the preset transport units, and generate auxiliary material transport information, wherein the auxiliary material transport information includes the preset transport unit number carrying the auxiliary material and the name of the auxiliary material.

[0086] By acquiring auxiliary material information in each of the preset storage units and each of the preset transport units in real time, the completeness of auxiliary material information acquisition is improved.

[0087] S200, when auxiliary materials in a preset storage unit are transferred to one of the preset transport units, the preset transport unit receiving the auxiliary materials is marked with an auxiliary material code corresponding to the auxiliary materials it carries. By marking each preset storage unit receiving auxiliary materials, the auxiliary material information carried in each preset storage unit and the location where the auxiliary material is carried can be obtained.

[0088] S300: Based on the auxiliary material unloading requirements, control instructions are generated to control the discharge of materials from the preset storage unit to the preset transport unit, and control instructions are generated to control the transfer of auxiliary materials corresponding to the auxiliary material unloading requirements by the auxiliary material unloading vehicle. By using the generation of control instructions, the transfer of auxiliary materials from the preset storage unit to the preset transport unit is automated, and the unloading of auxiliary materials from the preset transport unit to the auxiliary material unloading vehicle is automated, thus optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of auxiliary material outbound and unloading.

[0089] After the auxiliary materials are transferred from the preset storage unit, new auxiliary materials will still be filled into the preset storage unit. Therefore, after filling the new auxiliary materials, this embodiment has the following steps:

[0090] S311, Obtain each of the preset storage units without auxiliary raw materials, and generate storage blank information;

[0091] S312, store the auxiliary materials corresponding to the auxiliary material storage requirements into each of the preset storage units corresponding to the storage blank information;

[0092] S313, After storing new auxiliary materials, generate auxiliary material storage filling information according to the auxiliary material storage requirements and the storage blank information;

[0093] S314, Update the auxiliary material storage information according to the auxiliary material filling information.

[0094] In this embodiment, by acquiring information from each preset storage unit without auxiliary materials and the information of auxiliary materials subsequently filled, an information source is provided for the information of auxiliary materials subsequently filled, thereby further improving the unloading efficiency of auxiliary materials.

[0095] After the auxiliary materials are unloaded from the preset transport unit, new auxiliary materials will still be transferred in the preset transport unit. Therefore, after the transfer of new auxiliary materials, this embodiment has the following steps:

[0096] S321, Obtain each of the preset transport units without auxiliary materials and generate transport blank information;

[0097] S322, Obtain corresponding auxiliary material storage information based on auxiliary material transportation requirements;

[0098] S323, obtain each of the corresponding preset storage units according to the corresponding auxiliary material storage information;

[0099] S324, transfer the auxiliary materials in each of the corresponding preset storage units to each of the preset transport units corresponding to the transport blank information;

[0100] S325, after transporting new auxiliary materials, auxiliary material transport and filling information is generated based on the transport blank information and the corresponding auxiliary material storage information;

[0101] S326, Update the auxiliary material transportation information according to the auxiliary material transportation and filling information.

[0103] Furthermore, in some embodiments, based on enabling visual observation of the storage and transportation of auxiliary materials, this embodiment also provides the following steps:
