[0024] Please see Figures 1-2 A control method for primary dust removal and dynamic sealing fan of a continuously feeding electric arc furnace includes the following steps:

[0025] S1. Obtain information on the power supply and oxygen supply intensity of the electric arc furnace;

[0026] S2. Set the initial speed of the primary dust removal fan and the dynamic sealing fan according to the power supply and oxygen supply intensity information of the electric arc furnace, so as to meet the sealing requirements of the dynamic seal and the exhaust requirements of the flue.

[0027] S3. Obtain pressure and temperature information of preheating duct outlet A, pressure and temperature information of dynamic seal B, and dust information;

[0028] S4. The control system dynamically adjusts the speed of the primary dust removal fan and the dynamic sealing fan in real time based on the pressure and temperature information of the preheating duct outlet A, the pressure and temperature information of the dynamic seal B, and the dust information, so as to achieve adaptive matching of the exhaust volume to achieve the working condition purpose during the smelting process.

[0029] In step S4, the control system first determines whether the pressure and temperature information at the preheating duct outlet A and the dynamic seal B meet the preset pressure and temperature conditions of the control system. That is, it determines whether the pressure and temperature are suitable. If not, the speed coordination controller, based on the acquired pressure and temperature information, adjusts the speed of the primary dust removal fan and the dynamic seal fan through the frequency converter. The frequency converter output frequency changes adaptively to achieve adaptive matching of the exhaust volume during the smelting process to meet the operating conditions, so that the pressure and temperature meet the preset pressure and temperature conditions of the control system. If yes, it determines whether there is flue gas overflow based on the dust information. If there is no flue gas overflow, it maintains the current state. If there is flue gas overflow, the speed coordination controller, based on the acquired flue gas overflow information, adjusts the speed of the primary dust removal fan and the dynamic seal fan through the frequency converter. The frequency converter output frequency changes adaptively to achieve adaptive matching of the exhaust volume during the smelting process to meet the operating conditions, so that the pressure of the dynamic seal B is greater than the flue outlet pressure, and the pressure and temperature meet the preset pressure and temperature conditions of the control system.

[0030] A top fume hood and a bottom conveying trough form a preheating duct. The flue gas generated by the electric arc furnace passes through this duct and, at outlet A, enters the primary dust collector fan via a pipeline for dust removal. A dynamic seal B is located at the scrap steel inlet at the end of the preheating duct, and is sealed by a dynamic sealing fan to prevent cold air from entering the preheating duct. This invention achieves adaptive matching of exhaust volume to meet operating conditions during smelting by coordinating the speeds of the primary dust collector fan and the dynamic sealing fan, and adjusting the fan speed in real time. This solves the problems of low outlet flue gas temperature, poor sealing effect, or dust discharge from the dynamic sealing fan caused by relying on manual experience in traditional horizontal continuous feeding systems.

[0031] Optionally, during the operation of the electric arc furnace, the current and voltage information of the electric arc furnace are acquired through a current acquisition device and a voltage acquisition device, respectively, and the power supply of the electric arc furnace is obtained according to the formula power = current x voltage; the pressure and temperature information of the preheating duct outlet A are acquired through a pressure transmitter and a thermocouple installed at the preheating duct outlet A; the pressure and temperature information of the dynamic seal B are acquired through a pressure transmitter and a thermocouple installed at the dynamic seal B; and the smoke and dust information of the dynamic seal B is acquired through a vision system installed at the corresponding position of the dynamic seal.

[0032] This invention enables the primary dust removal fan and dynamic sealing fan to adapt to the smelting state of the electric arc furnace, solving the problems of low outlet flue gas temperature, poor sealing effect, and dust discharge from the dynamic sealing fan caused by the reliance on manual experience in traditional horizontal continuous feeding systems.

[0033] Example

[0034] A control method for the primary dust removal and dynamic sealing fan of a continuously feeding electric arc furnace includes the following steps:

[0035] 1) Obtaining power supply and oxygen supply intensity information of electric arc furnace: During the operation of electric arc furnace, the current and voltage information of electric arc furnace are obtained through current acquisition device and voltage acquisition device, thereby obtaining the power supply and oxygen supply intensity information of electric arc furnace.

[0036] 2) Set the initial speed of the primary dust removal fan and the initial speed of the dynamic sealing fan, i.e., the operating frequency, based on the power supply and oxygen supply intensity information of the electric arc furnace;

[0037] 3) Obtain pressure and temperature information at preheating duct outlet A: Obtain pressure and temperature information at preheating duct outlet A by using a pressure transmitter and a thermocouple, respectively;

[0038] 4) Obtain dynamic seal B pressure and outlet temperature information: Obtain dynamic seal B pressure and temperature information by using a pressure transmitter and a thermocouple respectively;

[0039] 5) Obtain dust information of dynamic seal B: Obtain dust information of dynamic seal B through machine vision;

[0040] 6) The speed coordination controller combines the acquired pressure and temperature information with the flue gas overflow status information, and uses a frequency converter to adjust the speed of the primary dust removal fan and the dynamic sealing fan. The frequency converter output frequency changes adaptively to achieve adaptive matching of exhaust volume during the smelting process to meet the working conditions.

[0041] In this embodiment, the speed coordination controller uses the pressure and temperature information of the preheating duct outlet A, the pressure and temperature information of the dynamic seal B, and the dust information to intelligently and dynamically adjust the speed of the primary dust removal fan and the dynamic sealing fan. This allows them to adaptively and optimally match the smelting state inside the electric arc furnace, achieving adaptive matching of exhaust volume to meet operating conditions during the smelting process. This solves the problems of low outlet flue gas temperature, poor sealing effect, and dust discharge from the dynamic sealing fan caused by relying on manual experience in traditional horizontal continuous feeding systems.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
