Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel slag spraying technology, specifically to a fully automatic steel slag spraying control device and its control system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two spray cooling processes in the hot slag quenching production process of steel slag in my country. One is to install spray nozzles on the quenching cover for spray cooling, and the other is to use a dynamic device for spray cooling during the slag dumping process. The first process, spray cooling after the quenching cover is closed, cannot know the cooling situation inside the quenching tank. The surface cooling effect is good, but the deep cooling effect of steel slag is relatively poor, which has the disadvantage of "blind spraying (cooling)". The second process, spray cooling during the slag dumping process, relies on manual observation to see if the surface turns black to determine the amount of water and time for spray cooling. It requires manual confirmation and control. At the same time, it is not scientific for controlling the temperature change, heat exchange balance and water volume of steel slag, which has the disadvantage of "blind spraying (cooling) with naked eye". Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a fully automatic steel slag spray control device and its control system, which solves the problems of unknowable cooling conditions, blind spraying and blind cooling, and the lack of scientific basis for manual confirmation control.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic steel slag spraying control system, comprising:
[0005] The information acquisition unit is used to acquire basic information about the target object and transmit it to the data analysis unit. The target object is steel slag, and the basic information includes temperature and color.
[0006] The data analysis unit is used to acquire and analyze the basic information of the target object being transmitted, and to acquire the historical data stored in the historical data storage unit. Then, the temperature and color in the historical data are analyzed to obtain the thresholds for starting and stopping water pumping, and these thresholds are recorded as threshold information. The threshold information is then transmitted to the multi-parameter heat balance exchange analysis unit.
[0007] The multi-parameter heat balance exchange analysis unit is used to acquire the transmitted threshold information and the real-time data transmitted by the real-time data acquisition unit. The real-time data includes real-time temperature and real-time color ratio. The unit analyzes the data to control the influent flow rate and generates influent flow rate control information, which is then transmitted to the information output unit.
[0008] The information output unit is used to acquire the transmitted water inflow control information and display it to the operator through a display device.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the specific manner in which the data analysis unit generates the threshold information is as follows:
[0010] The threshold analysis method for starting water injection is as follows:
[0011] S1: Obtain the temperature within the acquisition period with time T as the acquisition period and denote it as Wi, where i = 1, 2,..., n. It should be noted here that the temperature represents the temperature at the start of water injection. Then substitute the temperature Wi into the formula Calculate the discrete value Q1 of the temperature Wi within the acquisition period, where Wp is the average value of the temperature within the acquisition period;
[0012] S1: Then compare all the temperatures Wi with the discrete value Q1. Denote the temperature with Wi > Q1 as the super-discrete value temperature and denote it as Wa, and denote the temperature with Wi < Q1 as the low-discrete value temperature and denote it as Wb. At the same time, calculate the average values of Wa and Wb respectively and denote them as Wap and Wbp, and generate a temperature range denoted as [Wbp, Wap], and use the temperature range [Wbp, Wap] as the starting water injection temperature threshold;
[0013] S3: Obtain the color ratio within the acquisition period with time T as the acquisition period and denote it as Bi, where i = 1, 2,..., n, and the color ratio represents the ratio of red and black on the surface of the steel slag at the start of water injection. Then obtain the corresponding temperature Wi of the color ratio Bi. Then establish a rectangular coordinate system with the color ratio Bi as the abscissa and the temperature Wi as the ordinate, and at the same time draw a relationship diagram of the color ratio Bi and the temperature Wi; Specifically, in the actual production process, the higher the temperature, the more red will be on the surface of the steel slag. Therefore, there is a proportional relationship between the color ratio and the temperature.
[0014] S4: Then obtain the maximum and minimum values of the color ratio from the relationship diagram and denote them as Bmax and Bmin respectively. At the same time, check whether the corresponding temperatures W1 and W2 at the maximum and minimum values exist in the starting water injection temperature threshold, and determine the starting water injection color ratio threshold according to the judgment result. The specific determination method is as follows:
[0015] S41: When W1 and W2 exist within the starting water injection temperature threshold, determine [Bmin, Bmin] as the starting water injection color ratio value;
[0016] S42: When W1 and W2 do not exist within the starting water injection temperature threshold, obtain the color ratios corresponding to the temperature range [Wbp, Wap] and denote them as B1 and B2, and generate a color ratio range [B1, B2] and use it as the starting water injection color ratio threshold.
[0017] S5: Similarly, determine the stop water injection threshold in the same way as the start water injection threshold determination method.
[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention, the specific method by which the multi-parameter heat balance exchange analysis unit generates influent flow control information is as follows:
[0019] P1: Obtain the real-time temperature and real-time color ratio and record them as Ws and Bs respectively. Compare the two with the starting water injection threshold. When both Ws and Bs are within the starting water injection threshold, generate a water inlet signal. Otherwise, when neither Ws nor Bs are within the starting water injection threshold, generate a monitoring signal.
[0020] P2: Acquire the inlet water signal and historical records, and analyze the relationship between color ratio and inlet water flow rate based on the historical records. The specific analysis method is as follows:
[0021] P21: Obtain m color ratios with a time period of t, denoted as Bm, where m = 1, 2, ..., n. Simultaneously, obtain the influent volumes corresponding to the changes in color ratios Bm1 and Bm2, denoted as Jm1 and Jm2, and calculate the difference in influent volumes, denoted as |Jm1 - Jm2|. Then, calculate the ratio of the color ratio change to the influent volume change, denoted as F1. , where a1 is the impact factor and is a proportional value;
[0022] P22: Similarly to the calculation method in P21, calculate all the proportions within the time period t and denote them as Fk, where k = 1, 2, ..., n-1. Then substitute them into the formula. The proportional discrete value is calculated and used as the unit standard influent value H, where Fp is the mean of Fk;
[0023] P3: Next, substitute H, Bs, and B0 into the formula. The real-time inflow rate Js is calculated, and B0 is the real-time color ratio measured in the previous measurement. The cooling time corresponding to the real-time inflow rate Js is recorded as JT, and the inflow rate per unit time is calculated and recorded as... It also generates water inflow control information.
[0024] As a further aspect of the present invention: the historical data storage unit is used to store historical data and transmit it to the data analysis unit; the real-time data acquisition unit is used to acquire real-time data and transmit it to the multi-parameter thermal balance exchange analysis unit, wherein the real-time parameters include: real-time document and real-time color ratio.
[0025] The fully automatic spray control device for steel slag is characterized in that the device includes: a horizontal and vertical two-degree-of-freedom control base, a detachable balance arm, a water-driven self-rotating nozzle, a flow meter, a control box, control software, a remote controller, a temperature sensor, and an AI vision analyzer.
[0026] The temperature sensor is used to acquire the real-time temperature of the steel slag and transmit it to the control software.
[0027] The AI visual analyzer is used to acquire real-time images of steel slag and transmit them to the control software, which then analyzes the images to obtain the real-time color ratio of the steel slag.
[0028] Beneficial effects
[0029] This invention provides a fully automatic spray control device for steel slag and its control system. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0032] 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.
[0033] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a fully automatic spray control system for steel slag, including:
[0034] The information acquisition unit is used to acquire basic information about the target object and transmit it to the data analysis unit. The target object is steel slag, and the basic information includes temperature and color. The temperature is acquired by a set temperature sensor, and the color is obtained by acquiring an image of the steel slag through a set high-temperature resistant camera and analyzing the image.
[0035] The data analysis unit is used to acquire and analyze the basic information of the target object being transmitted, and to acquire historical data stored in the historical data storage unit. Then, it analyzes the temperature and color in the historical data to obtain the thresholds for starting and stopping water pumping, and records these as threshold information. This threshold information is then transmitted to the multi-parameter heat balance exchange analysis unit. The specific method for generating the threshold information is as follows:
[0036] The threshold analysis method for starting water injection is as follows:
[0037] S1: Obtain the temperature within the collection period with time T as the collection period and denote it as Wi, where i = 1, 2,..., n. It should be noted here that the temperature represents the temperature at the start of water injection. Then substitute the temperature Wi into the formula to calculate the discrete value Q1 of the temperature Wi within the collection period, where Wp is the average temperature within the collection period;
[0038] S2: Then compare all the temperatures Wi with the discrete value Q1. Denote the temperatures with Wi > Q1 as super-discrete value temperatures and denote them as Wa, and denote the temperatures with Wi < Q1 as low-discrete value temperatures and denote them as Wb. At the same time, calculate the average values of Wa and Wb respectively and denote them as Wap and Wbp, and generate a temperature range denoted as [Wbp, Wap], and use the temperature range [Wbp, Wap] as the starting water injection temperature threshold;
[0039] S3: Obtain the color ratio within the collection period with time T as the collection period and denote it as Bi, where i = 1, 2,..., n. And the color ratio represents the ratio of red and black on the surface of the steel slag at the start of water injection. Then obtain the corresponding temperature Wi of the color ratio Bi. Then, with the color ratio Bi as the abscissa and the temperature Wi as the ordinate, establish a rectangular coordinate system, and at the same time draw a relationship diagram of the color ratio Bi and the temperature Wi; specifically, in the actual production process, the higher the temperature, the more red on the surface of the steel slag, so there is a direct proportional relationship between the color ratio and the temperature.
[0040] S4: Then obtain the maximum and minimum values of the color ratio from the relationship diagram and denote them as Bmax and Bmin respectively. At the same time, check whether the corresponding temperatures W1 and W2 at the maximum and minimum values exist within the starting water injection temperature threshold, and determine the starting water injection color ratio threshold according to the judgment result. The specific determination method is as follows:
[0041] S41: When W1 and W2 exist within the starting water injection temperature threshold, determine [Bmin, Bmin] as the starting water injection color ratio value;
[0042] S42: When W1 and W2 do not exist within the starting water injection temperature threshold, obtain the color ratios corresponding to the temperature range [Wbp, Wap] and denote them as B1 and B2, and generate a color ratio range [B1, B2] and use it as the starting water injection color ratio threshold.
[0043] S5: Similarly, determine the stop water injection threshold by the starting water injection threshold determination method.
[0044] The thermal imaging temperature measurement and AI visual analysis of the steel slag cooling process includes real-time temperature monitoring of the steel slag pool, from slag dumping, slag turning, spraying, etc. The AI visual analysis is similar to the thermal imaging temperature measurement analysis and control, mainly targeting the change in the red and black color ratio on the surface of the steel slag pool, forming a curve of the change in the red and black color ratio on the surface of the steel slag pool, and obtaining the color ratio threshold for starting and stopping water spraying, which serves as the condition for starting and stopping the automatic spraying control device.
[0045] The multi-parameter heat balance exchange analysis unit is used to acquire the transmitted threshold information and the real-time data transmitted by the real-time data acquisition unit. This real-time data includes real-time temperature and real-time color ratio. The unit analyzes this data to control the influent flow rate and generates influent flow rate control information, which is then transmitted to the information output unit. The specific method for generating the influent flow rate control information is as follows:
[0046] P1: Obtain the real-time temperature and real-time color ratio and record them as Ws and Bs respectively. Compare the two with the starting water injection threshold. When both Ws and Bs are within the starting water injection threshold, generate a water inlet signal. Otherwise, when neither Ws nor Bs are within the starting water injection threshold, generate a monitoring signal.
[0047] P2: Acquire the inlet water signal and historical records, and analyze the relationship between color ratio and inlet water flow rate based on the historical records. The specific analysis method is as follows:
[0048] P21: Obtain m color ratios with a time period of t, denoted as Bm, where m = 1, 2, ..., n. Simultaneously, obtain the influent volumes corresponding to the changes in color ratios Bm1 and Bm2, denoted as Jm1 and Jm2, and calculate the difference in influent volumes, denoted as |Jm1 - Jm2|. Then, calculate the ratio of the color ratio change to the influent volume change, denoted as F1. , where a1 is the impact factor and is a proportional value;
[0049] P22: Similarly to the calculation method in P21, calculate all the proportions within the time period t and denote them as Fk, where k = 1, 2, ..., n-1. Then substitute them into the formula. The proportional discrete value is calculated and used as the unit standard influent value H, where Fp is the mean of Fk;
[0050] P3: Next, substitute H, Bs, and B0 into the formula. The real-time inflow rate Js is calculated, and B0 is the real-time color ratio measured in the previous measurement. The cooling time corresponding to the real-time inflow rate Js is recorded as JT, and the inflow rate per unit time is calculated and recorded as... It also generates water inflow control information.
[0051] Similarly, the same analysis is performed on the water start acquisition method described above for water stop acquisition. By acquiring the real-time temperature and real-time color ratio and comparing them with the water stop threshold, the temperature and color ratio corresponding to the water stop are analyzed, and the corresponding water stop information is generated and transmitted to the information output unit.
[0052] The information output unit is used to acquire the transmitted water inflow control information and display it to the operator through a display device.
[0053] Example 2: A fully automatic steel slag spray control device. This device includes a horizontal and vertical two-degree-of-freedom control base, a detachable balance arm, a water-driven self-rotating nozzle, a flow meter, a control box, control software, and a remote controller. It has multiple operation modes, including on-site remote control operation, touch screen operation, remote computer operation (joystick) operation, and automatic linkage start-up. The system realizes one-button water spraying. After the device is started, the control arm is raised (avoiding obstacles such as safety fences), then the arm is rotated so that the self-rotating nozzle is in the center of the hot simmering tank. Then, the electric valve is automatically opened to start spraying water. At the same time, the spraying time is confirmed by the results of thermal imaging temperature measurement analysis and big data heat balance exchange analysis. The electric valve is closed to stop spraying water. Finally, the arm returns to its original position, and the spraying ends.
