TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mining processing, more particularly to an intelligent ball mill control ball feeding method. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, ball mills are used in mining enterprises to grind ore. Steel balls are continuously added as grinding media during the grinding process to achieve the purpose of crushing ore. The crushed minerals become various fine particles of different diameters. The forces generated between the steel balls and the lining plate and between the steel balls during the grinding process are mainly throwing, extrusion and grinding. The effects of various forces are different, and they are suitable for crushing different ore particle sizes. Throwing is suitable for coarse particle crushing, and extrusion and grinding are suitable for fine particle crushing. Moreover, the consumption of steel balls in the mill is continuous and uninterrupted, and periodic addition to the ball mill is required. The filling rate of steel balls affects the operating efficiency of the ball mill. The traditional method of continuously adding steel ball media is manual addition. The amount of steel balls is added according to experience, and the addition is completed by a ball feeding machine (or complete manual ball feeding, which is a huge workload). Moreover, the steel balls are added at one time, and the consumption of one shift or one day is added to the ball mill at one time per shift or per day. After the addition of steel balls, the filling rate of the ball mill and the effect of the mill cannot be known, which easily causes large changes in the filling rate of the ball mill and affects the grinding efficiency of the ball mill.
[0003] Therefore, how to realize intelligent ball feeding of the ball mill and improve the grinding efficiency is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the present application provides an intelligent ball mill control ball feeding method. Considering the current, operating rate and processing capacity that affect the efficiency of the ball mill, the amount of steel balls added to the ball mill is determined through the relationship between the three, so that the filling rate of the ball mill is most reasonable. Thus, the purpose of controlling the amount of steel balls and the way of adding steel balls is achieved by using big data fitting and calculation, so that the mill is in the best grinding state for a long time and the grinding efficiency is improved.

[0010] Step 4: Calculate the current average value in the preset period at the current time, compare the current average value with the preset standard value, and select the ball adding mode or the ball reducing mode according to the comparison result;

[0013] Preferably, the amount of feed added to the ball mill is weighed, and the weighing data is transmitted to the controller for accumulation.
[0014] Preferably, if the current average value is less than the preset standard value, the ball adding mode is selected, otherwise the ball reducing mode is selected.
[0015] Preferably, the historical current data of the ball mill is collected, and a current trend graph, that is, a two-dimensional graph of the time sequence change of the current, is obtained by calculation, and the current weight is determined according to the ball adding amount data corresponding to the current trend graph and the historical current data.

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] The embodiment of the present invention discloses an intelligent ball mill control and ball adding method. The current of the ball mill is collected, and the algorithm controller analyzes and calculates the current trend according to time; the operation time of the ball mill is collected, and the cumulative calculation is performed in the algorithm controller, and the trend is determined to obtain the relationship between the actual amount of steel balls consumed and the time of steel ball consumption. The algorithm controller can perform a two-dimensional display and query of the actual amount of steel balls consumed, the time of steel ball consumption, and the two-dimensional display and query of the time of steel ball consumption; the feed amount of the ball mill is collected, and the cumulative calculation of the processing amount is performed in the algorithm controller, and the steel ball consumption trend is obtained according to time analysis; a ball adding prediction model is constructed based on the current, operation time and processing amount, and the relationship between the three is used to establish the amount of balls that should be added, so as to realize the intelligent control of the ball adding machine for automatic ball adding. Specifically:
[0023] Detect the current of the ball mill, and perform trend analysis of the current in hours, days, and months. Collect the cumulative processing amount of the ball mill, and perform steel ball consumption analysis in hours, days, and months. Obtain the relationship between the actual amount of consumed steel balls and the time and the amount of consumed steel balls. Collect the operating time of the ball mill, and perform steel ball consumption analysis in hours, days, and months. Obtain the relationship between the actual amount of consumed steel balls and the time and the amount of consumed steel balls. The two kinds of analysis data can be displayed and queried in two dimensions in the algorithm controller. The current, cumulative processing amount, and operating time are modeled and calculated to obtain the final amount of added balls per hour. The ball adding machine is automatically controlled to add balls into the ball mill according to the amount of added balls per hour. The cumulative calculation method is used to calculate the filling rate of the steel balls in the ball mill. The key point of the invention is to collect and calculate the current, cumulative processing amount, and operating time of the ball mill, model, form trend analysis of the filling rate of the ball mill, simulate the change of the filling rate of the steel balls in the ball mill, and finally realize the goal of intelligent ball adding, which completely replaces manual ball adding.
[0024] The algorithm of the intelligent ball mill control ball adding method is divided into three parts. The first part is the operating rate. The running signal of the motor of the ball mill is collected (as long as the motor runs, the ball mill is considered to run). The signal enters the controller. The controller counts the time according to the running signal being "1" and does not count the time according to the running signal being "0". When the cumulative time reaches 1 hour, the number of balls to be added is calculated according to the current value. The calculation of the number of added balls is continuously changed in the actual adding process according to the original set value. For example, if the current becomes smaller, the number of balls needs to be increased. The increase is calculated according to the current part. The second part is the accumulation of the processing amount of the ball mill, which is measured in tons. An electronic scale is added before the material enters the ball mill to measure the amount of material entering the ball mill. The material amount signal also enters the controller and is accumulated. The amount of added balls is determined according to the accumulated material amount. For example, when 100 tons are processed, the amount of added balls is 5 kg, which is calculated according to the average consumption of manual ball adding. The third part is to collect the current size of the ball mill, which also enters the controller and is processed by the average value. The average time is 24 hours. The average value is continuous, that is, the average current of the previous 24 hours is used for the current hour. The average current is compared with the standard value of the mill. If it is less than the standard value, the algorithm increases the number of added balls in proportion. If it is greater than the standard value, the algorithm decreases the number of added balls in proportion. The specified proportion is the amount of added balls required for each increase in current. The amount of added balls is divided by 24 to obtain the average amount of added balls per hour. The amount of added balls is added every hour. The three parts are combined into the total amount of added balls, which is distributed by the weight method. The total number of added balls is calculated by the weight method. The system starts the ball adding machine to add balls according to the weight ball amount. When the number of balls reaches the set value, the ball adding machine is stopped.
