It should be understood that such uses of these terms can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described.

[0026] The implementation details of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described in detail below:

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the LF furnace dust removal valve adjustment method in one embodiment of this application.

[0028] According to a typical embodiment of this application, a method for adjusting the dust removal valve of an LF furnace is provided, the method comprising the following steps S1 to S3:

[0029] Step S1: Obtain an image of the smoke and dust inside the LF furnace.

[0030] Step S2: The smoke image is detected by a pre-trained smoke detection model to determine the size, color, and direction of smoke diffusion, and a smoke detection result is generated.

[0031] Step S3: Based on the dust detection results, control the dust removal valve to open to a preset opening degree to complete the dust removal in the LF furnace.

[0032] In this application, image recognition is used to monitor the emission of flue gas in real time, and the opening degree of the dust removal valve of the LF furnace is automatically controlled according to the flue gas overflow. High-temperature resistant cameras installed near the LF furnace can capture images of the flue gas inside the furnace, enabling real-time monitoring of the flue gas situation within the LF furnace.

[0033] After acquiring the smoke and dust image inside the LF furnace, a pre-trained smoke and dust detection model can be used to detect smoke and dust in the image. After inputting the smoke and dust image into the smoke and dust detection model, the size, color, and direction of smoke and dust diffusion in the image can be detected, and a smoke and dust detection result can be generated. The smoke and dust detection result can be the specific area of ​​the smoke and dust region in the image, the specific color of the smoke and dust, the specific direction of smoke and dust diffusion, etc.

[0034] After obtaining the specific area, color, and direction of smoke diffusion in the smoke image, the dust removal valve can be automatically adjusted based on the detection results using a dust removal valve adjustment module (which can be the PLC controller of the dust removal valve). This allows for timely dust removal of the smoke, effectively preventing large-scale smoke emissions or secondary oxidation of molten steel caused by excessive suction entering the ladle cover. This ensures the quality of the molten steel and the smooth progress of steel smelting, reduces the risk of manual intervention, and improves the automation level of environmental control.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, before detecting the smoke size, color, and diffusion direction of the smoke image using a pre-trained smoke detection model, the method further includes:

[0036] Acquire target dust images inside the LF furnace and process the target dust images.

[0037] An initial smoke detection model is constructed, and the initial smoke detection model is trained based on the processed target smoke image.

[0038] In this application, the acquired smoke and dust images are detected by a smoke and dust detection model. After detection, the size, color, and diffusion direction of the smoke and dust in the images can be obtained. It is evident that the accuracy of the smoke and dust detection model is very important. In order to improve the performance of the smoke and dust detection model, increase its accuracy, and reduce false alarms and false negatives, the model needs to be trained after its establishment.

[0039] Training a model requires a large training dataset; the more training data, the better the model's performance. To train the model, images for training are first needed. During daily production, a large number of smoke and dust images can be acquired using cameras installed near the LF furnace. These images are then cleaned and processed to obtain target smoke and dust images. To ensure a sufficient number of target smoke and dust images for processing, the model's stability and detection accuracy are improved. After preparing the training dataset (the processed target smoke and dust images), an initial smoke and dust detection model is constructed. This initial model is then trained based on the processed target smoke and dust images to obtain a smoke and dust detection model with absolute stability and high detection accuracy.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, the processing of the target smoke image includes: performing data augmentation processing on the target smoke image using a mapping tool to generate a smoke image dataset.

[0041] In this application, when training the model using the target smoke and dust images, if the number of processed target smoke and dust images is insufficient, the Stable Diffusion AI mapping tool can be used to perform data augmentation on the target smoke and dust images to obtain a large number of newly generated effective smoke and dust image data, and generate a smoke and dust image dataset (the smoke and dust image dataset is a set of target smoke and dust images used for model training), thereby increasing the number of training datasets, making the trained model perform better, and improving the stability of the model and the accuracy of the detection results.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the initial smoke detection model can be constructed using the mask-rcnn model.

[0043] In order to ensure the stability of the model and the accuracy of smoke detection, some important training parameters need to be set when training the mask-rcnn model. The following are the specific parameter settings for model training.

[0044] Learning rate: This is an important parameter in optimization algorithms, determining the speed at which model parameters are updated. A large learning rate may lead to unstable model training, while a small learning rate may make the training process too slow. An initial learning rate of 0.0005 can be set.

[0045] Batch Size: This is the number of samples the model processes in each forward and backward propagation iteration. A large batch size may lead to memory shortages, while a small batch size may slow down the training process. A batch size of 4 can be set.

[0046] Number of iterations (Epochs): This is the number of times the model performs forward and backward propagation on the training set. A smaller number of iterations may lead to underfitting, while a larger number of iterations may lead to overfitting. The number of iterations can be set to 100.

[0047] Weight Decay: This is a regularization method used to prevent model overfitting. It is achieved by adding a term to the loss function that is proportional to the square of the model parameters. Weight Decay can be set to 0.0005.

[0048] Momentum: This is an optimization method used to accelerate model convergence. It achieves this by accumulating the direction of previous gradients. The momentum value can be set to 0.9.

[0049] Anchor scales and ratios: These are parameters used to generate prior bounding boxes. You can set the scale value to 16 and the ratio value to 0.5.

[0050] In this application, it is important to note that the model training parameters described above can be adjusted based on the specific task and dataset. When adjusting the parameters, cross-validation is typically used to evaluate the performance of different parameter combinations and select the best-performing combination.

[0051] In one embodiment of this application, training the initial smoke detection model based on the processed target smoke image includes:

[0052] The processed target smoke image is then labeled with smoke color.

[0053] The labeled target smoke and dust image is input into the initial smoke and dust detection model for deep learning training.

[0054] In this application, when training the initial smoke detection model based on the processed target smoke image, in order for the initial smoke detection model to correctly identify the smoke color, the processed target smoke image can be analyzed to determine the smoke color and label it, such as labeling the target smoke image as yellow smoke, black smoke, etc. These labeled target smoke images are then input into the initial smoke detection model for deep learning training. The training objective is to enable the model to correctly identify the smoke color and smoke diffusion direction based on the input smoke image.

[0055] During the training process for smoke and dust color recognition, the model learns the correlation between smoke and dust colors and image pixels (different smoke and dust colors correspond to different image pixels), thereby achieving color recognition and enabling the smoke and dust detection model to more accurately identify smoke and dust. By adding color recognition to the smoke and dust detection model, the model can more accurately determine the intensity and direction of smoke and dust diffusion, thus more accurately controlling the opening of the dust removal valve.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, the step of detecting the smoke size, color, and diffusion direction of the smoke image using a pre-trained smoke detection model includes:

[0057] The smoke and dust image is input into the smoke and dust detection model, an edge detection algorithm is used to identify the smoke and dust outline, and the area of ​​the smoke and dust region is calculated based on the smoke and dust outline.

[0058] The smoke and dust detection model is used to determine the color of the smoke and dust in the image, and the CV algorithm is used to identify the changes in the center position of the smoke and dust outline to confirm the direction of smoke and dust diffusion.

[0059] In this application, when detecting smoke and dust using the smoke and dust detection model, image processing techniques, such as edge detection algorithms (e.g., Sobel algorithm, Canny algorithm), can be used to find the smoke and dust contours from the smoke and dust image, thus obtaining the boundary of the smoke and dust area. After identifying the smoke and dust contours, the area of ​​the smoke and dust area can be calculated based on the contours. The area of ​​the smoke and dust area reflects the size of the smoke and dust inside the LF furnace. When the calculated smoke and dust area exceeds the standard, the opening of the dust removal valve needs to be increased (the opening can be adjusted from 0% to 100% based on the size of the smoke and dust). For example, if the smoke and dust detection model detects that the size of the smoke and dust inside the LF furnace is a large area of ​​smoke and dust, and there is a possibility of escape, it may be necessary to open the dust removal valve to 90% to promote rapid smoke and dust discharge. If the opening of the dust removal valve is less than 9% at this time, the dust removal valve will be automatically adjusted to avoid a large amount of smoke and dust escaping and polluting the environment.

[0060] The dust detection model enables real-time monitoring of dust conditions within the LF furnace. When the dust area is smaller than the standard dust area, the opening of the dust removal valve is automatically reduced to prevent excessive suction caused by an overly large valve opening, which could lead to secondary oxidation of the molten steel due to air entering the ladle cover. For example, if the dust detection model detects a small area of ​​dust within the LF furnace, the dust removal valve only needs to be opened to 15%. If the opening is greater than or less than 15%, the valve will automatically adjust, ensuring the quality of the molten steel and the smooth progress of steelmaking.

[0061] After identifying the smoke and dust outline, the centroid of the outline, i.e., the geometric center of the smoke and dust region (referred to as the center position), can be calculated. The centroid can be calculated by finding the average position of all pixels within the smoke and dust outline. After obtaining the center position (centroid), the changes in the center position of the smoke and dust outline can be identified using the CV algorithm to determine the diffusion direction and diffusion speed (the speed at which the smoke and dust move) of the smoke and dust in the image.

[0062] In this application, the purpose of detecting the color and direction of smoke diffusion is as follows: If the detected smoke is yellow, it generally moves relatively quickly. If the detected smoke is yellow and its direction of movement is first diffusion and then convergence, the dust collector valve opening does not need adjustment, indicating that the current opening is sufficient to draw away the smoke and prevent further diffusion or escape. If the detected smoke converges very quickly, the dust collector valve opening will be appropriately reduced (a fast convergence speed indicates excessive suction). If the detected smoke is white (pale white) and covers a small area, white smoke has little impact on the environment and process, so the dust collector valve opening can be appropriately reduced to decrease suction. If the detected smoke diffuses upwards at a very fast speed, the dust collector valve opening needs to be increased to increase suction.

[0063] To better control the opening of the dust collector valve based on factors such as smoke size, color, and diffusion direction, a Region of Interest (ROI) can be set above the LF furnace lid. This ROI is a sensitive area; if smoke reaches it, the dust collector may fail to draw it back. A condition is added to the ROI: if the smoke entering the ROI is pale white and moves slowly (low speed indicates a small amount of smoke), the dust collector valve opening remains unchanged. If white smoke enters the ROI and moves quickly, the opening needs to be increased appropriately. If yellow smoke enters the area, the opening is immediately increased regardless of speed. The overall control logic is: white smoke is not very harmful, but a large quantity is, requiring adjustment of the dust collector valve opening based on actual conditions; yellow smoke must be prevented—this is the purpose of color detection; fast smoke movement indicates intense smoke emission and a large amount of smoke—this is the purpose of speed detection.

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, identifying the change in the center position of the smoke and dust contour using a CV algorithm includes:

[0065] The center position of the smoke and dust contour in consecutive frames of the smoke and dust image is tracked using the CV algorithm.

[0066] The direction of smoke diffusion in the smoke image is obtained based on the movement trajectory of the center position.

[0067] In this application, when identifying the changes in the center position of the smoke and dust contour according to the CV algorithm, the CV algorithm can be used to track the center position of the smoke and dust contour in the smoke and dust images of consecutive frames. By comparing the movement trajectory of the centroid position (center position) in two or more consecutive frames, the direction of smoke and dust diffusion and the speed of smoke and dust diffusion can be determined.

[0068] The specific implementation of this application will be further illustrated by specific embodiments below, but the specific implementation of this application is not limited to the following embodiments.
