Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to a soft measurement method for key performance indicators in the process industry field, and specifically relates to an intelligent detection method for sinter drum strength by integrating knowledge and data. Background Art

[0002] The steel industry, a crucial sector for measuring a country's comprehensive strength and economic development, not only underpins its survival and development but also serves as a pillar of the national economy. In the blast furnace ironmaking process, sintered ore is the primary raw material, accounting for approximately 70% of the input. The quality of the molten iron is closely linked to its output and quality. Stable and high-quality sintered ore production also ensures smooth ironmaking. Therefore, as the primary method for obtaining sintered ore, the sintering process is a critical step in the blast furnace ironmaking process.

[0003] As a heavy industry with high energy consumption and emissions, the metallurgical industry faces urgent structural reform and transformation. Reforms in steel companies are progressing rapidly, and advancements in blast furnace ironmaking technology primarily depend on improving the properties of incoming raw materials. Therefore, improving sinter production is an irreversible trend.

[0004] Drum strength, a key physical property of sintered ore, is crucial for the quality and yield of subsequent blast furnace ironmaking. Current approaches to predicting drum strength primarily include numerical simulation models and data-driven models. Numerical simulation models typically establish mathematical models based on thermochemical equations from the sintering process. However, complex thermochemical reactions present significant nonlinearity and strongly coupled uncertainties. These characteristics make mathematical models with strict constraints and assumptions unsuitable for practical production, resulting in low prediction accuracy. With the rise of machine learning and big data, a growing number of researchers are approaching modeling from a data perspective. Umadevi et al. proposed a neural network-based model that correlates drum strength with nine process parameters for prediction. Wang et al. established an online drum strength prediction model based on an Elman neural network. Li et al. selected a subset of operating parameters through clustering and constructed an online sequential extreme value learning machine for prediction. Zou et al. proposed a hybrid ensemble prediction model for drum strength that combines multiple machine learning algorithms. Compared with numerical simulation models, data-driven models improve prediction accuracy and simplify the modeling process.

[0005] Through the analysis of the drum strength prediction problem, it can be seen that this type of prediction problem has two difficulties: (1) The sintering process has the characteristics of multivariate coupling, and the process data presents a non-Euclidean topological structure in space. Most Euclidean space models have no way to explicitly represent the interdependence between variables, which hinders the extraction of potential spatial correlation features. (2) The relationship itself may be diversified, and there is not only one relationship between two variables. The graph structure constructed based on Gaussian kernel distance has limitations. The distance cannot fully reflect the relationship between nodes. It is necessary to integrate expert knowledge to further improve the performance of the model. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problem of difficulty in detecting drum strength during the sintering process, the present invention proposes an intelligent detection method for sinter drum strength that integrates knowledge and data.

[0049] 1. This invention utilizes a graph neural network model to develop an intelligent drum strength detection method that integrates knowledge and data. Previous studies have mostly used purely data-driven models, neglecting the extraction and embedding of knowledge. However, for actual industrial processes, pure data models cannot effectively represent the actual physical and chemical processes. This model combines the domain knowledge of field experts and effectively integrates this knowledge into the graph neural network, resulting in a model that is more consistent with actual industrial production.

[0050] 2. This paper uses a gated spatiotemporal convolution module to extract the complex spatiotemporal coupling characteristics between auxiliary variables. Previous studies have ignored the non-Euclidean topological structure between auxiliary variables in industry. The graph neural network used in this paper excels at processing the complex coupling of non-Euclidean structured data and uses gated connections to fuse graph convolution and temporal convolution to simultaneously capture temporal and spatial correlations in the data.

[0051] 3. The present invention uses a locality-preserving projection method to fuse knowledge-based and data-based features. Previous studies have typically used direct splicing to fuse features, which introduces a lot of redundant information. The present invention uses a locality-preserving projection method to fuse these two types of features, eliminating excess information between them. This allows for efficient fusion and improves the accuracy of drum strength prediction. This method can provide precise intelligent detection strategies for key indicators in other industrial processes, improving the stability and safety of industrial production.

[0089] 5) The intelligent detection model is trained using real data from sintering plants and deployed to actual industrial sites to achieve intelligent detection of drum strength.

[0090] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific cases.

[0091] (1) Sintering process description and auxiliary variable determination

[0092] The sintering machine used in this experiment is a bag-type sintering machine with 24 bellows. The machine is divided into north and south sides (for example, south side of bellows No. 1 and north side of bellows No. 1). The specific process includes five steps: batching, mixing, ignition, ventilation sintering, cooling, and screening. First, the raw materials (such as iron ore mixture, coke, and limestone) are mixed in a predetermined ratio. Water is then added to the mixing drum to moisten the material layer and enhance the permeability of the material layer. Next, the mixture is loaded onto a mobile cart by a feeder, and the surface of the mixture is ignited by an ignition system. As the cart moves forward, the mixture gradually burns, with the air in the bellows providing the combustion power. After the sintering process is completed, the sinter is cooled, crushed, and screened. The drum strength of the sintered ore significantly affects the blast furnace ironmaking process. To improve the quality of blast furnace ironmaking, real-time drum strength monitoring is necessary. Because laboratory drum strength testing is very time-consuming, soft sensing methods based on machine learning are generally used in industry for intelligent prediction. Through expert knowledge and Pearson correlation analysis, 23 relevant variables were selected as the input of the model, such as the temperature and negative pressure (south and north sides) of wind box No. 1, as shown in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1 Input variables and output variables of sintering process

[0094]

[0095] (2) Analysis of spatiotemporal characteristics of sintering process

[0096] The sintering process involves many process variables, such as material layer thickness, ignition temperature, trolley speed, etc., and the coupling relationship between them is very complex. Figure 2 As shown in , these variables interact with each other, and the change of a certain variable at the same time will have a direct impact on other variables. For example, the trolley speed is related to the thickness of the material layer, and the thickness of the material layer also affects the trolley speed. In addition, the trolley speed is also affected by the ignition temperature. Based on these observations and analyses, we can find that these process variables have spatial coupling correlation in the sintering process. At the same time, there is also a temporal correlation between the variables at different times, because iron ore sintering is a continuous physical and chemical reaction process. As Figure 2 As shown, adjacent samples are closely correlated, leading to the mutual influence of the same variable at different times. For example, the current trolley speed is related to its previous state, meaning that the combustion process continuously changes as the trolley gradually moves forward. This is because heat transfer and temperature changes are gradual processes that take time. This physical significance can be understood as the time-varying characteristics of chemical reactions during sintering. Therefore, it is necessary to capture the intra-variable temporal correlation in sintering data.

[0097] (1) Dataset construction and experimental setup

[0098] In order to verify the accuracy of the method of the present invention, relevant data of sintered ore were collected from a sintering plant in South China. After data preprocessing and sliding window method, 5000 segments were constructed for training, 1000 segments for validation, and 1000 segments for testing. The model results were calculated using the root mean square error (RMSE). , mean absolute error and hit rate HR (k=0.03) are used to measure the three evaluation indicators, among which, represents the predicted value, Represents the true value, and k represents the relative percentage error between the true and predicted values. To reduce contingency, the evaluation index of all models is the average of 10 results.

[0102] (20)

[0103] (2) Offline model establishment and comparison

[0104] To compare the superiority of the knowledge and data fusion graph network model (KDGNN) developed in this paper, several typical machine learning models were selected for comparison, including partial least squares regression (PLS), random forest (RF), autoencoder (SAE), variable weighted autoencoder (VWSAE), homogeneous autoencoder (SAIE), long short-term memory (LSTM), and spatiotemporal long short-term memory (STA-LSTM). Table 2 shows the comparative results of different prediction models, with the bolded data representing the performance of the proposed KDGNN method. Overall, the proposed KDGNN model achieved the best performance across all evaluation metrics, with RMSE, MAE, and HR values ​​of 0.4351, 0.3356, and 92.40%, respectively. Specifically, the traditional model (PLS) performed the worst due to its linear nature and inability to learn the severe nonlinear characteristics of the sintering process. In contrast, RF and SAE can handle nonlinear data and therefore achieve better performance than PLS. However, the SAE model cannot guarantee the correlation between latent features and the target variable, which negatively impacts prediction performance. VWSAE can extract high-level features that are very relevant to the target by assigning different weights to features, thereby achieving better performance. In addition, the accuracy of SIAE also exceeds that of VWSAE because SIAE can learn excellent features from raw data by stacking layered isomorphic autoencoders. In fact, sintering is a continuous dynamic process, and there is temporal correlation between adjacent samples. Therefore, dynamic networks such as LSTM and VWLSTM perform better than the static models above. However, the limitation of these models is that it is difficult for them to capture potential features from non-Euclidean spaces. That is, these models cannot explicitly model the dependencies between variables. The sintering process has a strong coupling characteristic, and the graph-based KDGNN model of the present invention is good at extracting the potential mutual dependencies between process variables, achieving the best prediction performance.

[0106]

[0107] (3) Online model results

[0108] Finally, the model established by the method of the present invention was tested online on an actual sintering machine. Figure 4 The curves showing the actual value, predicted value and error percentage of sinter drum strength are shown respectively. According to the definition of HR, when the error percentage falls within the range of [-1%, 1%], the prediction accuracy of drum strength meets the engineering requirements. Figure 4As shown in (c), the absolute value of the percentage error for most samples is within 1%, and only a few samples are around 2%. Therefore, the online detection experiment shows that the proposed KDGNN model can accurately predict drum strength and meet the needs of practical engineering applications.

[0109] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
