Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mill technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for inspection and early warning of the sampling tube of the differential pressure level gauge in a coal mill. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the most important auxiliary equipment in coal-fired power plants, the material level in the mill cylinder is the most important detection and control parameter. The BBD type double-inlet double-outlet ball mill is a type of coal mill commonly used in most thermal power plants. The mainstream method for measuring, controlling and adjusting the material level in the mill cylinder of this type of coal mill is differential pressure detection. This method utilizes the principle of deep cylinder level measurement. Two sampling tubes filled with low-pressure, constant-flow compressed air are inserted into the upper and lower halves of the hollow cylinder of the mill, respectively. The concentration of coal powder and the thickness of the powder layer cause different back pressures on the two sampling tubes. A differential pressure transmitter is used to measure the differential pressure between the two tubes to reflect the material level inside the mill.

[0003] However, the sampling tube installed at the bottom of the hollow cylinder has only 5 centimeters of space between it and the auger directly above it. If the auger is poorly installed, the auger blades break, or especially if the auger bearing is damaged and the auger falls, the sampling tube will quickly be worn through and leaked by the auger during operation, causing inaccurate material level measurements. This will affect the automatic control of the coal mill's material level, the unit's rapid load response, and the operators' judgment of the material level. In severe cases, it can cause the coal mill to be full of coal, directly endangering the unit's operational safety. Therefore, how to determine whether the sampling tube is damaged and issue a maintenance warning is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method and system for early warning and maintenance of the sampling tube of the differential pressure level gauge in a coal mill. This system addresses the technical problem in the prior art where timely damage monitoring and early warning of the sampling tube are not possible, which leads to the sampling tube damage affecting the automatic control of the coal mill level and the rapid response of the unit load.

[0034] Further, when enhancing and adjusting the image enhancement information according to the overall detail and the detail threshold to obtain the enhanced real-time grayscale image, the process includes:

[0035] Based on the image enhancement information, construct an image enhancement information sequence H, where H = {h1, h2, h3, ..., hp}, and p is the number of image enhancement information.

[0039] Based on the relationship between the detail difference and the set of detail differences, a corresponding preset enhancement coefficient is selected from the set of enhancement coefficients;

[0040] When the detail difference is less than the first preset detail difference, the first preset enhancement coefficient is selected to enhance and adjust the image enhancement information sequence H.

[0041] When the detail difference is greater than or equal to the first preset detail difference and less than the second preset detail difference, the second preset enhancement coefficient is selected to enhance and adjust the image enhancement information sequence H.
