Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial automatic control, and in particular to an intelligent control method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for a flotation process. Background Technology

[0002] Flotation refers to the process of grinding, classifying, and preparing minerals into a pulp, then passing the pulp through a flotation machine, adding appropriate reagents, and utilizing the differences in the physical and chemical properties of the mineral surfaces to separate the useful minerals from the suspension in water (pulp). After drying and other operations, a concentrate is obtained.

[0003] In the flotation process, factors such as the amount of flotation reagents added, the level of the flotation tank, the degree of grinding after milling, and the amount of aeration all directly or indirectly affect the flotation effect, that is, the quality and efficiency of the recovered minerals. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and control the reagent addition process, pulp level, aeration rate, and pulp grade of the flotation machine to improve the quality and efficiency of the recovered minerals. Currently, to improve the instability and low efficiency of manual adjustment and control, an automatic control system for the flotation process has been developed and configured on each flotation machine. Specifically, this automatic control system uses a host or server to automatically and intelligently analyze information from the flotation process and controls the reagent addition, pulp level, and aeration rate of the flotation machine based on the analysis results, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the refined minerals.

[0004] However, during the mineral flotation process, each flotation machine is equipped with an automatic control system. The automatic control system, i.e. the main unit, continuously analyzes and processes the information of the flotation process and constantly controls the reagents, liquid level, and aeration of each flotation machine. This ensures that the main unit of each automatic control system is usually running 24 hours a day. When there are many flotation machines, a large number of main units are running, resulting in high energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To save on power consumption, this application provides an intelligent control method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for a flotation process.

[0006] Firstly, this application provides an intelligent control method for a flotation process, employing the following technical solution: A method for intelligent control of a flotation process, the method comprising: Acquire pulp concentration information, flotation process information, and flotation grade information for each flotation machine. The flotation process information is used to characterize the information detected during the flotation process. Based on the pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information of each flotation machine, the flotation machines are grouped together, and flotation machines with the same pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information are grouped into a combination to obtain at least one flotation machine combination. From at least one flotation machine included in each flotation machine combination, determine the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination, and control the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine to start running. The automatic control system is used to adjust each control device in the flotation process according to the data of the flotation process so that the flotation grade of the flotation machine meets the requirements. Obtain the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination; The operation of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination is controlled according to the control method of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the flotation machines are grouped according to their pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information. Flotation machines with the same pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information are grouped into a combination. For each flotation machine in a combination, only the main unit of the target flotation machine's automatic control system needs to be turned on. The main units of other flotation machines in the combination do not need to be started. The target flotation machine and other flotation machines in the combination are controlled directly according to the calculation results of the main unit of the automatic control system configured for the target flotation machine. This allows the operation of other flotation machines to be controlled by controlling one flotation machine. Since the ore content is relatively similar, using the control method of one flotation machine to control the operation of other flotation machines can also achieve good flotation results. At the same time, for a flotation machine combination, only one automatic control system needs to be running, that is, one main unit needs to be kept running, which greatly saves energy consumption.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the step of controlling the operation of each flotation machine within each flotation machine combination according to the control method of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination further includes: The flotation grade information of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination is acquired in real time, and it is determined whether the flotation grade information of each flotation machine meets the preset standard conditions. If there is at least one flotation machine in each flotation machine assembly whose flotation grade information does not meet the preset standard conditions, then the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will be removed from each flotation machine assembly, and the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will be controlled to start running.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the flotation grade in each flotation machine can be obtained in real time, and it can be determined whether the flotation grade meets the preset standard conditions. When the preset standard conditions are not met, the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is controlled to start running, so that the grade of each flotation machine can be detected in real time and adjustments can be made in time when there is an abnormality, which is conducive to improving the flotation grade of the flotation machine.

[0010] In another possible implementation, if at least one flotation machine in each flotation machine assembly does not meet a preset standard for flotation grade information, the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard is removed from each flotation machine assembly, and the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard is controlled to start operating, including: If there is one flotation machine in each flotation machine combination that does not meet the preset standard conditions, then the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will start running. If at least two flotation machines in each flotation machine combination do not meet the preset standard conditions, then the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions are removed from the flotation machine combination. Based on the current flotation grade information and current pulp concentration information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, it is determined whether there is a flotation machine with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information among the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions. If not, the automatic control system corresponding to each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is controlled to start running.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the flotation grade of the flotation machine does not meet the preset standard conditions, if there is only one flotation machine that does not meet the conditions, the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the conditions will be directly controlled to start running; when there are at least two flotation machines that do not meet the conditions, it is determined whether there are flotation machines with the same flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information. If there are no such machines, the main unit of the automatic control system corresponding to each flotation machine will be controlled to start running, so as to provide a way to control the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine to start running when the preset standard conditions are not met.

[0012] In another possible implementation, the step of determining whether there is a flotation machine among the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions that has the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information further includes: If they exist, the flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information will be grouped into a group to obtain the target flotation machine group; From the various flotation machines included in the target flotation machine combination, select the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination, and control the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination to start running; Obtain the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination; The operation of other flotation machines in the target flotation machine group is controlled according to the control method described above. The other flotation machines in the target flotation machine group are flotation machines in the target flotation machine group that are not part of the target flotation machine.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when there are flotation machines with the same flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information, at least two corresponding flotation machines are combined into a target flotation machine combination. The automatic control system of the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination starts to run, and other flotation machines are controlled to work according to the control mode of the target flotation machine. This helps to reduce the number of automatic control systems in operation and achieve energy saving.

[0014] In another possible implementation, the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions starts operating, and then further includes: Real-time acquisition of pulp concentration, flotation process information, and flotation grade information for each flotation machine that does not meet preset standard conditions; When it is detected that the flotation grade information of any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions meets the preset standard conditions, the current pulp concentration information, current flotation process information and current flotation grade information of the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions are used to search for whether there is a flotation machine similar to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions. When similar flotation machines are found, they are identified as similar flotation machines. Any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is assigned to the flotation machine group corresponding to the similar flotation machine. The operation of any flotation machine that meets the preset standard conditions is controlled according to the control mode corresponding to the similar flotation machine.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the automatic control system of the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions starts to operate, the flotation grade information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is acquired in real time to determine whether the flotation grade of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions meets the standard. When the standard is met, the flotation machine can be classified into similar flotation machines, so that the automatic control system of the flotation machine can stop operating, thereby further reducing the number of automatic control systems used and further saving energy consumption.

[0016] In another possible implementation, the method further includes: Acquire flotation process information, pulp concentration information, and flotation grade information for each target flotation machine at a preset frequency. When at least two target flotation machines have the same flotation process information, the same pulp concentration information, and the same flotation grade information, then the flotation machine combination corresponding to the at least two target flotation machines is determined. The flotation machine combinations corresponding to the at least two target flotation machines are merged to obtain a merged flotation machine combination; And determine the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination from the at least two target flotation machines, and control the operation of the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine of the merged flotation machine combination; The operation of each flotation machine in the merged flotation machine combination is controlled according to the control method of the target flotation machine in the merged flotation machine combination.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, for a pre-defined and normally operating flotation machine combination, when at least two target flotation machines have the same flotation grade, the same flotation process, and the same pulp concentration, the flotation machine combination corresponding to the at least two target flotation machines is merged. The operation is controlled according to the target flotation machine control operation corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination, which can reduce the operation of at least one automatic control system.

[0018] Secondly, this application provides an intelligent control device for a flotation process, which adopts the following technical solution: A smart control device for a flotation process, the device comprising: The information acquisition module is used to acquire pulp concentration information, flotation process information, and flotation grade information for each flotation machine. The flotation process information is used to characterize the information detected during the flotation process. The grouping module is used to group the flotation machines according to the pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information of each flotation machine, and to group the flotation machines with the same pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information into a group to obtain at least one flotation machine group. The target determination module is used to determine the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination from at least one flotation machine included in each flotation machine combination, and control the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine to start running. The automatic control system is used to adjust each control device in the flotation process according to the data of the flotation process so that the flotation grade of the flotation machine meets the requirements. The control acquisition module is used to acquire the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination; The operation control module is used to control the operation of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination according to the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the flotation machines are grouped according to their pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information. Flotation machines with the same pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information are grouped into a combination. For each flotation machine in a combination, only the main unit of the target flotation machine's automatic control system needs to be turned on. The main units of other flotation machines in the combination do not need to be started. The target flotation machine and other flotation machines in the combination are controlled directly according to the calculation results of the main unit of the automatic control system configured for the target flotation machine. This allows the operation of other flotation machines to be controlled by controlling one flotation machine. Since the ore content is relatively similar, using the control method of one flotation machine to control the operation of other flotation machines can also achieve good flotation results. At the same time, for a flotation machine combination, only one automatic control system needs to be running, that is, one main unit needs to be kept running, which greatly saves energy consumption.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: The grade judgment module is used to acquire the flotation grade information of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination in real time and determine whether the flotation grade information of each flotation machine meets the preset standard conditions. The rejection module is used to remove the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions from each flotation machine combination if there is at least one flotation grade information in each flotation machine combination, and to control the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions to start running.

[0021] In another possible implementation, if at least one flotation grade information in each flotation machine assembly does not meet a preset standard condition, the rejection module will remove the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard condition from each flotation machine assembly and control the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard condition to start running. Specifically, it is used to: If there is one flotation machine in each flotation machine combination that does not meet the preset standard conditions, then the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will start running. If there are at least two flotation machines in each flotation machine combination that do not meet the preset standard conditions, then the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions will be removed from the flotation machine combination. Based on the current flotation grade information and current pulp concentration information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, determine whether there are flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information among the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions. If it does not exist, the automatic control system corresponding to each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will start running.

[0022] In another possible implementation, the device further includes: The combination division module is used to divide flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information into a group to obtain the target flotation machine group if they exist. The selection module is used to select the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination from the various flotation machines included in the target flotation machine combination, and control the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination to start running; The control determination module is used to obtain the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination; The flotation control module is used to control the operation of other flotation machines in the target flotation machine group according to the control method, wherein the other flotation machines in the target flotation machine group are flotation machines that do not belong to the target flotation machine in the target flotation machine group.

[0023] In another possible implementation, the device further includes: The real-time acquisition module is used to acquire in real time the pulp concentration information, flotation process information, and flotation grade information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions; The similarity determination module is used to, when it is detected that the flotation grade information of any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions meets the preset standard conditions, search among the flotation machines for whether there is a flotation machine similar to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, based on the current pulp concentration information, current flotation process information and current flotation grade information of the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions. The similarity control module is used to identify similar flotation machines when they exist, assign any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions to the flotation machine group corresponding to the similar flotation machine, and control the operation of any flotation machine that meets the preset standard conditions according to the control mode corresponding to the similar flotation machine.

[0024] In another possible implementation, the device further includes: The frequency acquisition module is used to acquire flotation process information, pulp concentration information and flotation grade information for each target flotation machine according to a preset frequency. The combination determination module is used to determine the flotation machine combination corresponding to the at least two target flotation machines when there are at least two target flotation machines with the same flotation process information, the same pulp concentration information, and the same flotation grade information. The merging module is used to merge the flotation machine combinations corresponding to the at least two target flotation machines to obtain a merged flotation machine combination; The merging control module is used to determine the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination from the at least two target flotation machines, and to control the operation of the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine of the merged flotation machine combination. The combined control module is used to control the operation of each flotation machine in the combined flotation machine group according to the control mode of the target flotation machine in the combined flotation machine group.

[0025] Thirdly, this application provides an electronic device that adopts the following technical solution: An electronic device comprising: At least one processor; Memory; At least one application, wherein the at least one application is stored in memory and configured to be executed by at least one processor, the at least one application being configured to: execute the above-described intelligent control method for the flotation process.

[0026] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which adopts the following technical solution: A computer-readable storage medium includes: a computer program stored thereon that can be loaded by a processor and executed by the above-described intelligent control method for the flotation process.

[0027] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: Based on the pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information of each flotation machine, the machines are grouped together. Flotation machines with the same pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information are grouped into a group. For each flotation machine in a group, only the main unit of the target flotation machine's automatic control system needs to be turned on. The main units of other flotation machines in the group do not need to be started. The target flotation machine and other flotation machines in the group are controlled directly based on the calculation results of the main unit of the automatic control system configured for the target flotation machine. This allows the operation of other flotation machines to be controlled by controlling one flotation machine. Since the ore content is relatively similar, using the control method of one flotation machine to control the operation of other flotation machines can also achieve good flotation results. At the same time, for a flotation machine group, only one automatic control system needs to be running, that is, one main unit needs to be kept running, which greatly saves energy consumption.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] During the flotation process, it is necessary to control the liquid level of the slurry in the flotation machine, as well as the flow rate, aeration rate, and reagent concentration of the slurry, so as to control the flotation effect of the flotation machine.

[0032] Mineral refining plants typically include multiple refining production lines, each equipped with a complete flotation process and flotation equipment, including crushers, flotation machines, etc.

[0033] For batches of ore that are often refined simultaneously by multiple refining production lines, this application provides an intelligent control method for the flotation process, executed by electronic equipment, as described above. Figure 1 The method includes: Step S101: Obtain pulp concentration information, flotation process information, and flotation grade information for each flotation machine.

[0034] Among them, flotation process information is used to characterize the information detected during the flotation process, which may include information on reagent addition amount, pulp level, pulp flow rate, and aeration amount at various stages of the flotation process.

[0035] Specifically, pulp concentration information is used to characterize the concentration of pulp, and grade refers to the content ratio of useful elements or their compounds in the ore. In the embodiments of this application, flotation grade information is used to characterize the ratio of concentrate obtained after flotation to raw ore.

[0036] Step S102: Based on the pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information of each flotation machine, group the flotation machines together, and group the flotation machines with the same pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information into a group to obtain at least one flotation machine group.

[0037] Specifically, for the same batch of raw ore, the proportion of mineral content and composition are usually similar. When the same batch of raw ore is input into different flotation machines, the automatic control systems of each flotation machine determine a reasonable control method based on the flotation information to regulate the liquid level, reagent dosage, and aeration rate. However, for the same batch of ore, the proportion of mineral content and composition are usually similar. Therefore, for flotation machines with the same conditions, the control method of one flotation machine can be used to control other flotation machines. This avoids the need for multiple flotation machines to perform similar analysis and data collection actions, thus preventing unnecessary power consumption and additional analytical burden.

[0038] Therefore, for each flotation machine, when at least two flotation machines have the same pulp concentration information, the same flotation process information, and the same flotation grade information, it indicates that the flotation processes of the at least two flotation machines are similar, the mineral content in the ore input to the flotation machines is similar, and the mineral composition in the ore is also similar. Therefore, for the at least two flotation machines, only the automatic control system corresponding to one flotation machine can be started to control the flotation machine, and the other flotation machines can be directly controlled by applying the control method of the flotation machine whose automatic control system has been started.

[0039] Specifically, flotation machines with the same pulp concentration information, the same flotation process information, and the same flotation grade information are grouped into a combination to obtain at least one flotation machine combination. Each flotation machine combination corresponds to at least one flotation machine, for example, flotation machine A1, flotation machine A2, and flotation machine A3. Flotation machine A1 and flotation machine A2 have the same pulp concentration information, the same flotation process information, and the same flotation grade information. Therefore, flotation machine A1 and flotation machine A2 are grouped into a combination to obtain flotation machine combination B1{flotation machine A1, flotation machine A2} and flotation machine combination B2{flotation machine A3}.

[0040] Step S103: From the at least one flotation machine included in each flotation machine combination, determine the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination, and control the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine to start running.

[0041] The automatic control system is used to adjust the various control devices in the flotation process based on the data from the flotation process so that the flotation grade of the flotation machine meets the requirements.

[0042] Specifically, the automatic control system can be a commonly used fuzzy PID control algorithm-based control system, a PID-based control system, or a deep learning algorithm model-based control system. In this embodiment, no limitation is made, as long as it can automatically adjust each control device in the flotation process according to the flotation process information and flotation grade information so that the flotation grade of the flotation machine meets the requirements.

[0043] Furthermore, each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination has the same or similar flotation process, that is, the slurry received by the corresponding flotation machines is relatively similar. Therefore, the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination can be selected, and the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine can be controlled to start running. Specifically, controlling the operation of the automatic control system can be done by sending a start command to the operator's terminal equipment so that the operator can start the automatic control system, or by controlling the power supply device to supply power to the host of the automatic control system, or by controlling the power switching switch to control the host of the automatic control system to connect to the power supply.

[0044] Taking any flotation machine combination as an example, this section explains how to determine the target flotation machine corresponding to that combination. Specifically, for ease of explanation, we will take flotation machine combination B1 as an example, where flotation machine combination B1 {flotation machine A1, flotation machine A2}. Any one of the flotation machines can be determined as the target flotation machine corresponding to flotation machine combination B1. For example, flotation machine A1 can be determined as the target flotation machine corresponding to flotation machine combination B1.

[0045] Step S104: Obtain the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination.

[0046] Step S105: Control the operation of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination according to the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination.

[0047] Specifically, the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination is determined, and the corresponding automatic control system of the target flotation machine is controlled to operate. This allows the automatic control system configured on the target flotation machine to control the operation of each key operating device in real time according to the flotation process of the target flotation machine. Then, the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination can be obtained, and the operation of each flotation machine within the corresponding flotation machine combination can be controlled according to the control mode of the target flotation machine. For example, for the aforementioned flotation machine combination B1, only the automatic control system of flotation machine A1 (the target flotation machine corresponding to flotation machine combination B1) is controlled, while flotation machine A2 may not have a corresponding automatic control system configured; the control mode of flotation machine A1 can be used directly to control flotation machine A2 for corresponding flotation control.

[0048] This application provides an intelligent control method for a flotation process. Based on the pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information of each flotation machine, the flotation machines are grouped. Flotation machines with the same pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information are grouped into a single group. For each flotation machine in a group, only the main unit of the target flotation machine's automatic control system needs to be turned on. The main units of other flotation machines in the group do not need to be started. The target flotation machine and other flotation machines in the group are controlled directly based on the calculation results of the main unit of the automatic control system configured for the target flotation machine. This allows the operation of other flotation machines to be controlled by controlling one flotation machine. Since the ore content is relatively similar, using the control method of one flotation machine to control the operation of other flotation machines can also achieve good flotation results. Furthermore, for a flotation machine group, only one automatic control system needs to be running, i.e., one main unit needs to be kept running, greatly saving energy consumption.

[0049] One possible implementation of the embodiments of this application is described below. Figure 2 In step S105 above, the operation of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination is controlled according to the control method of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination. This is followed by: Step S106: Obtain the flotation grade information of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination in real time and determine whether the flotation grade information of each flotation machine meets the preset standard conditions.

[0050] Step S107: If there is at least one flotation machine in each flotation machine combination whose flotation grade information does not meet the preset standard conditions, then the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will be removed from each flotation machine combination, and the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will be started to run.

[0051] Specifically, let's take any flotation machine combination as an example to illustrate the control method of each flotation machine combination. For any flotation machine combination, after starting to control the operation of each flotation machine in that combination, we begin to monitor in real time whether the flotation grade information of the flotation machines in that combination meets the preset standard conditions. When the flotation grade information of each flotation machine meets the preset standard conditions, it means that the other flotation machines in that combination can continue to operate according to the target flotation machine control method. When the flotation grade information of each flotation machine does not meet the preset standard conditions, that is, there are flotation machines whose flotation grade information does not meet the preset standard conditions, or there is an abnormal flotation grade situation, that is, the effect of using the target flotation machine method to control the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is poor. Therefore, at this time, the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions can be removed from the flotation machine combination, and the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions can be started to operate.

[0052] Specifically, the system monitors in real-time whether the flotation grade information of each flotation machine within any given flotation machine assembly meets preset standard conditions. This can be achieved by acquiring the flotation grade information of each flotation machine within the assembly in real time and determining whether the flotation grade information meets the preset standard conditions. The preset standard conditions can be set by the user as needed. When the flotation grade information of a flotation machine reaches the preset standard conditions, it indicates that the flotation process of that machine is in a normal state. When the flotation grade information of a flotation machine does not reach the preset standard conditions, it indicates that the flotation process of that machine is abnormal. For example, the preset standard condition can be set to 60%. When the flotation grade information of a flotation machine is not lower than 60%, it indicates that the flotation grade of the flotation machine meets the preset standard conditions, and that the flotation process of the flotation machine is in a normal state.

[0053] It is worth noting that the control method for each flotation machine combination can refer to the method for any of the above flotation machine combinations.

[0054] One possible implementation of the embodiments of this application is described below. Figure 2 In step S107 above, if at least one flotation machine in each flotation machine assembly does not meet the preset standard conditions for flotation grade information, then the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will be removed from each flotation machine assembly, and the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will be started to operate. Specifically, this may include: Step S107a: If there is only one flotation machine in each flotation machine combination that does not meet the preset standard conditions, then the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will start running.

[0055] Step S107b: If there are at least two flotation machines in each flotation machine combination that do not meet the preset standard conditions, then remove the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions from the flotation machine combination. Based on the current flotation grade information and current pulp concentration information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, determine whether there are flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information among the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions. If not, control the automatic control system corresponding to each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions to start running.

[0056] Specifically, let's continue with the explanation using any flotation machine combination as an example. It's worth noting that the control method for each flotation machine combination can refer to the control method for any single flotation machine combination.

[0057] When any flotation machine combination contains one flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, the automatic control system corresponding to that flotation machine will be directly activated. For example, for flotation machine combination B4 {flotation machine A4, flotation machine A5, flotation machine A6}, the target flotation machine is flotation machine A5. If the flotation grade information of flotation machine A4 does not meet the preset standard conditions, the automatic control system of flotation machine A4 will be activated, changing flotation machine combination B4 to flotation machine combination B4 {flotation machine A5, flotation machine A6}, and flotation machine A6 will continue to operate under the control mode of flotation machine A5.

[0058] When any flotation machine combination contains flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions, and the number of flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions is at least two, for example, in the above flotation machine combination B4 {flotation machine A4, flotation machine A5, flotation machine A6}, the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions include flotation machine A4 and flotation machine A6; the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions are removed from the corresponding flotation machine combination, and based on the current flotation grade information and current pulp concentration information corresponding to each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, it is determined whether there are at least two flotation machines among the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions whose current flotation grade information and current pulp concentration information are the same.

[0059] For example, in the aforementioned flotation machine assembly B4, flotation machines A4 and A6 are removed from assembly B4. After removal, based on the current flotation grade and pulp concentration information corresponding to flotation machine A4, and the current flotation grade and pulp concentration information corresponding to flotation machine A6, it is determined whether the current flotation grade and pulp concentration information of flotation machine A4 and flotation machine A6 are the same. When the current flotation grade information of flotation machine A4 is the same as that of flotation machine A6, and the current pulp concentration information of flotation machine A4 is also the same as that of flotation machine A6, it indicates the existence of flotation machines with the same current flotation grade and pulp concentration information. When the current flotation grade information of flotation machine A4 is different from that of flotation machine A6, or the current pulp concentration information of flotation machine A4 is different from that of flotation machine A6, it indicates that they do not exist.

[0060] If there are no at least two flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions and whose current flotation grade information and current pulp concentration information are the same, then the automatic control system corresponding to each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions can be started to operate.

[0061] One possible implementation of this application embodiment is as follows: In step S107b, it is determined whether there are flotation machines among those that do not meet the preset standard conditions that have the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information. The implementation further includes: if such flotation machines exist, they are grouped into a group to obtain a target flotation machine group; from the flotation machines included in the target flotation machine group, a target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine group is selected, and the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine group is started; the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine group is obtained; and the operation of other flotation machines in the target flotation machine group is controlled according to the control mode.

[0062] Among them, the other flotation machines in the target flotation machine group are those flotation machines that are not part of the target flotation machine group.

[0063] Specifically, when there are at least two flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information, it indicates that the at least two flotation machines still have the same flotation process, the same pulp concentration for flotation input, and the same grade. Therefore, the at least two flotation machines can be divided into a group for unified control.

[0064] Specifically, at least two flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information are grouped into a group to obtain a target flotation machine group. Then, from the various flotation machines included in the target flotation machine group, the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine group is selected, and the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine in the target flotation machine group is started to run. The other flotation machines in the target flotation machine group are directly controlled to run according to the control method of the target flotation machine.

[0065] The target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination can be any one of the flotation machines in the target flotation machine combination.

[0066] In one possible implementation of this application embodiment, in step S107 above, the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is started to run. The system further includes: acquiring in real-time pulp concentration information, flotation process information, and flotation grade information for each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions; when the flotation grade information of any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is detected to meet the preset standard conditions, based on the current pulp concentration information, current flotation process information, and current flotation grade information of any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, searching among the flotation machines for a flotation machine similar to any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions; if such a flotation machine exists, the found similar flotation machine is identified as a similar flotation machine, and any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is assigned to the flotation machine group corresponding to the similar flotation machine. Then, based on the control method corresponding to the similar flotation machine, the operation of any flotation machine that meets the preset standard conditions is controlled.

[0067] Specifically, after the automatic control system corresponding to a flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions starts to operate, it can also acquire the pulp concentration information, flotation process information, and flotation grade information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions in real time. This is so that when the flotation grade information of the flotation machine meets the preset standard conditions, it can find flotation machines with similar flotation processes, similar mineral grades, and similar pulp inputs. The control method of the similar flotation machines can be used to control the operation of the flotation machines together, thereby saving energy consumption. Furthermore, for factories, the investment in automatic control systems can be reduced. For example, the factory can directly configure a preset number of automatic control systems, and place the main units of these systems in a unified machine room. When the target flotation machine in the flotation machine combination is determined, an idle main unit is selected from the main units in the machine room and designated as the main unit corresponding to the target flotation machine. The automatic control system configured on the idle main unit analyzes the information during the flotation process of the target flotation machine and controls the operation of the target flotation machine and each flotation machine in the target flotation machine combination. Moreover, if any flotation machine in the combination does not meet the preset standard conditions, an idle main unit is selected from the main units in the machine room to control the operation of that flotation machine. Therefore, it is not necessary to configure a main unit for each flotation machine; only a preset number of main units is needed, which is less than the number of flotation machines, thus saving the factory's capital investment.

[0068] More specifically, a flotation machine similar to any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions can specifically be a flotation machine with similar pulp concentration information, similar flotation process information, and similar flotation grade information. For example, if the pulp concentration information of flotation machine A8 is similar to that of flotation machine A9, the flotation process information of flotation machine A8 is also similar to that of flotation machine A9, and the flotation grade information of flotation machine A8 is also similar to that of flotation machine A9, then flotation machine A9 is a similar flotation machine to flotation machine A8, and flotation machine A8 is also a similar flotation machine to flotation machine A9.

[0069] Specifically, similar pulp concentration information can be defined as the difference in pulp concentration being within a preset concentration range; similar flotation process information can be defined as the difference in parameter values ​​during the flotation process being within a preset parameter range; and similar flotation grade information can be defined as the difference in flotation grade being within a preset ratio range.

[0070] It is worth noting that the preset concentration range, preset parameter range, and preset ratio range are pre-set, and users can set and adjust them according to their needs.

[0071] One possible implementation of this application embodiment further includes, after step S105: acquiring flotation process information, pulp concentration information, and flotation grade information corresponding to each target flotation machine at a preset frequency. When at least two target flotation machines have the same flotation process information, pulp concentration information, and flotation grade information, a flotation machine combination corresponding to at least two target flotation machines is determined; the flotation machine combinations corresponding to the at least two target flotation machines are merged to obtain a merged flotation machine combination; the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination is determined from the at least two target flotation machines, and the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine in the merged flotation machine combination is controlled to operate; and each flotation machine in the merged flotation machine combination is controlled to operate according to the control method of the target flotation machine in the merged flotation machine combination.

[0072] Specifically, the preset frequency can be a frequency of acquiring the data once every preset duration. The preset duration can be one day, one hour, four hours, etc., and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0073] The flotation process information, flotation concentration information, and flotation grade information of each target flotation machine are acquired at preset time intervals. It is then determined whether at least two target flotation machines possess the same flotation process information, pulp concentration information, and flotation grade information. For example, the target flotation machines include target flotation machines C1, C2, C3, and C4. Specifically, if the flotation process information corresponding to target flotation machine C1 is the same as that corresponding to target flotation machine C3, the flotation grade information corresponding to target flotation machine C1 is the same as that corresponding to target flotation machine C3, and the pulp concentration information corresponding to target flotation machine C1 is the same as that corresponding to target flotation machine C3, then the existence of such a machine is indicated.

[0074] When at least two target flotation machines have the same flotation process information, the same pulp concentration information, and the same flotation grade information, the flotation machine combinations corresponding to each target flotation machine with the same flotation process information, the same pulp concentration information, and the same flotation grade information are merged to obtain a merged flotation machine combination. For example, if target flotation machine C1 corresponds to flotation machine combination B1 {flotation machine A1, flotation machine A2, target flotation machine C1}, and target flotation machine C3 corresponds to flotation machine combination B3 {flotation machine A5, target flotation machine C3}, then the merged flotation machine combination includes {flotation machine A1, flotation machine A2, flotation machine A5, target flotation machine C1, target flotation machine C3}.

[0075] Next, the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination is determined. For example, the target flotation machine C1 mentioned above can be used as the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination, or the target flotation machine C3 mentioned above can be used as the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination. If the target flotation machine C1 is used as the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination, the operation of the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine C3 is stopped, and only the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine C1 needs to be operated. The operation of each flotation machine in the merged flotation machine combination is controlled according to the control method of the target flotation machine C1.

[0076] It is worth noting that when there are no two target flotation machines with the same flotation process information, the same pulp concentration information, and the same flotation grade information, the original flotation machine combination remains unchanged, and the operation of each flotation machine in the flotation machine combination is controlled by the control method of the target flotation machine in the flotation machine combination.

[0077] The above embodiments describe an intelligent control method for a flotation process from the perspective of the method flow. The following embodiments describe an intelligent control device for a flotation process from the perspective of a virtual module or virtual unit. For details, please refer to the following embodiments.

[0078] Reference Figure 3 A flotation process intelligent control device 300, comprising: The information acquisition module 301 is used to acquire pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information for each flotation machine. The flotation process information is used to characterize the information detected during the flotation process. Grouping module 302 is used to group each flotation machine according to the pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information of each flotation machine, and to group flotation machines with the same pulp concentration information, flotation process information and flotation grade information into a group to obtain at least one flotation machine group. The target determination module 303 is used to determine the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination from at least one flotation machine included in each flotation machine combination, and control the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine to start running. The automatic control system is used to adjust each control device in the flotation process according to the data of the flotation process so that the flotation grade of the flotation machine meets the requirements. The control acquisition module 304 is used to acquire the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination; The operation control module 305 is used to control the operation of each flotation machine in each flotation machine combination according to the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to each flotation machine combination.

[0079] Specifically, based on the pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information of each flotation machine, the flotation machines are grouped together. Flotation machines with the same pulp concentration, flotation process, and flotation grade information are grouped into a combination. For each flotation machine in a combination, only the main unit of the automatic control system of the target flotation machine needs to be turned on. The main units of other flotation machines in the combination do not need to be started. The target flotation machine and other flotation machines in the combination are controlled directly based on the calculation results of the main unit of the automatic control system configured for the target flotation machine. This allows the operation of other flotation machines to be controlled by controlling one flotation machine. Since the content of the ore is relatively similar, the flotation effect can be achieved by using the control method of one flotation machine to control the operation of other flotation machines. At the same time, for a flotation machine combination, only one automatic control system needs to be running, that is, one main unit needs to be kept running, which greatly saves energy consumption.

[0081] One possible implementation of this application embodiment is that, if there is at least one flotation machine in each flotation machine combination whose flotation grade information does not meet a preset standard condition, the rejection module will remove the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard condition from each flotation machine combination and control the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard condition to start running. Specifically, it is used for: If there is only one flotation machine in each flotation machine combination that does not meet the preset standard conditions, then the automatic control system corresponding to the flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will start running. If there are at least two flotation machines in each flotation machine combination that do not meet the preset standard conditions, then the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions will be removed from the flotation machine combination. Based on the current flotation grade information and current pulp concentration information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions, determine whether there are flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information among the flotation machines that do not meet the preset standard conditions. If it does not exist, the automatic control system corresponding to each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions will start running.

[0082] In one possible implementation of this application embodiment, the device 300 further includes: The combination division module is used to divide flotation machines with the same current flotation grade information and the same current pulp concentration information into a group to obtain the target flotation machine group if they exist. The selection module is used to select the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination from the individual flotation machines included in the target flotation machine combination, and to control the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine to start running. The control determination module is used to obtain the control mode of the target flotation machine corresponding to the target flotation machine combination; The flotation control module is used to control the operation of other flotation machines in the target flotation machine combination according to the control method. The other flotation machines in the target flotation machine combination are those flotation machines that are not part of the target flotation machine in the target flotation machine combination.

[0083] In one possible implementation of this application embodiment, the device 300 further includes: The real-time acquisition module is used to acquire in real time the pulp concentration information, flotation process information, and flotation grade information of each flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions; The similarity determination module is used to search among all flotation machines for whether there is a flotation machine similar to the one that does not meet the preset standard conditions when the flotation grade information of any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions is detected. The similarity control module is used to identify similar flotation machines when they exist, assign any flotation machine that does not meet the preset standard conditions to the flotation machine group corresponding to the similar flotation machine, and control any flotation machine that meets the preset standard conditions to operate according to the control mode corresponding to the similar flotation machine.

[0084] In one possible implementation of this application embodiment, the device 300 further includes: The frequency acquisition module is used to acquire flotation process information, pulp concentration information and flotation grade information for each target flotation machine according to a preset frequency. The combination determination module is used to determine the flotation machine combination corresponding to at least two target flotation machines when there are at least two target flotation machines with the same flotation process information, the same pulp concentration information, and the same flotation grade information. The merging module is used to merge the flotation machine combinations corresponding to at least two target flotation machines to obtain a merged flotation machine combination; The merging control module is used to determine the target flotation machine corresponding to the merged flotation machine combination from at least two target flotation machines, and to control the operation of the automatic control system corresponding to the target flotation machine of the merged flotation machine combination. The combined control module is used to control the operation of each flotation machine in the combined flotation machine group according to the control mode of the target flotation machine in the combined flotation machine group.
