Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nonferrous smelting related equipment, and in particular to an anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control system and device for a metallurgical furnace. Background Art

[0002] A wide variety of electric furnaces are used in nonferrous metallurgy, including submerged arc furnaces for smelting concentrates, depletion furnaces for slag depletion and insulation, electric heating forehearths, and sedimentation furnaces for mixed melt settling and separation. Their basic operating principles are largely the same: electrodes inserted into the slag layer generate an electric current or arc. This current in the molten pool is converted into resistance heat by the melt's electrical energy. Recently introduced electric furnaces for ferronickel smelting and vanadium-titanium-carbon iron ore smelting and separation utilize the more concentrated arc heat and higher temperatures to accelerate smelting and improve smelting efficiency. Compared to other smelting furnaces, electric furnaces offer advantages such as high thermal efficiency, low flue gas emissions, compatibility with a wide range of metals, and high total metal recovery rates. These furnaces are also trending towards larger, higher-power, and higher-voltage operation. Electrodes face harsh operating environments, including corrosion from high-temperature flue gas, scratching from cold material, and melt adhesion. Consequently, electrode protection devices are urgently needed. The charge in an electric furnace generally consists of a cold charge layer, a slag layer, and a metal layer. During the smelting process, the addition of cold charge will increase the thickness of the slag layer. Inserting the electrode too deep will cause uneven heat distribution in the furnace, resulting in crusting on the slag surface. However, as the cold charge melts, the thickness of the slag layer gradually decreases, and the liquid level of the metal layer continues to increase. The immersed part of the electrode is constantly corroded by the high-temperature melt. If the electrode tip is inserted into the metal layer, the electrode corrosion rate will be greatly increased and the current efficiency will be reduced. Therefore, the relative depth of the electrode in the melt is constantly changing. In addition, the highest temperature area of ​​the electric furnace is at the end of the electrode inside the molten pool. When the electrode is inserted too deeply into the slag layer, it is easy to cause damage to the furnace bottom, greatly shortening the overhaul cycle of the furnace body. At present, the lifting and lowering of the electrodes in electric furnaces are usually controlled manually, which is labor-intensive, with complex operating procedures and slow and lagging movements. It is impossible to accurately control the electrode insertion depth in real time as the smelting process progresses. Therefore, anti-corrosion intelligent lifting and lowering control of the electrode is urgently needed in the metallurgical industry.

[0003] Prior art 1, Chinese patent application number 202311023642.9, discloses an electric furnace steelmaking electrode replacement device. The device comprises a vertical rod, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to a lifting ring for connecting to an external lifting hook connected to a hoist. Anchor hooks for hooking onto the electrode lugs are fixedly attached to the lower side of the vertical rod's outer circumference. Multiple anchor hooks are arranged in a circular array on the lower side of the vertical rod's outer circumference. The anchor hooks are tapered at the end away from the vertical rod. The anchor hooks more easily engage with the surface gaps of the lugs. The vertical rod and anchor hook are then controlled to move upward, removing the electrode. The electrode to be replaced is then hung on the anchor hook. The vertical rod, anchor hook, and electrode to be replaced are then placed into the electric furnace. While this device achieves automatic replacement during electric furnace steelmaking, making it safe and convenient to use, the circular array of anchor hooks at the bottom of the vertical rod significantly increases the probability of hooking onto the electrode lugs, saving time. However, the device is difficult to maintain, resulting in high installation and maintenance costs.

[0004] Prior art 2, Chinese patent, application number 202111544285.1 discloses an anti-corrosion equalizing electrode for a converter valve, including a stainless steel base, a plastic shell and a stainless steel electrode. The stainless steel electrode is a U-shaped structure, the stainless steel base is a convex structure, the bottom end of the stainless steel base is plug-connected to the bottom end of the stainless steel electrode, the plastic shell is sleeved on the outside of the bottom end of the stainless steel electrode and the bottom end of the stainless steel base, and the plastic jacket is also sleeved on the top of the stainless steel electrode and is not sleeved on the inner side of the connection between the top and the bottom. Although it greatly reduces the corrosion and deposition rate of the equalizing electrode. However, sleeved plastic shell will reduce the current efficiency, and may fail to completely cover all corrosion factors, resulting in unsatisfactory anti-corrosion effect.

[0005] Prior art three, Chinese patent, application number 202210080581.9 discloses a new 3 / 2 electrode arrangement structure for corrosion prevention and deposition in converter valves, including a busbar, an aluminum alloy radiator and a thyristor assembly. Two groups of busbars are provided, and each group of busbars is equipped with equalizing electrode 1, equalizing electrode 2 and equalizing electrode 3. Branch tubes are evenly installed on the busbar and 14 groups are provided. The aluminum alloy radiator is provided at the connection between the two opposite branch tubes on both sides, and the thyristor assembly is provided at the connection between the two adjacent groups of aluminum alloy radiators. The equalizing electrode 1, equalizing electrode 2, equalizing electrode 3 and the aluminum alloy radiator are all connected by wires. Although the leakage current is avoided from flowing through the radiator, the electrochemical corrosion and deposition problems inside the cooling system are solved from the root, and the safe operation of the transmission system is ensured, the new 3 / 2 electrode arrangement structure for corrosion prevention and deposition in converter valves is provided. However, the equipment maintenance is relatively difficult, and the installation and maintenance costs are high.

[0006] At present, the existing technologies 1, 2 and 3 have the problem that the equipment maintenance is relatively difficult, the installation and maintenance costs are high, and all corrosion factors may not be fully covered, resulting in unsatisfactory anti-corrosion effects. Therefore, the present invention proposes an intelligent electrode lifting control system and device for metallurgical furnace corrosion prevention, which adds a silicon carbide ceramic sleeve to the top of the electric furnace. The sleeve, booster air pump and sealing device prevent the high-temperature flue gas from scouring and corroding the part of the electrode in the furnace that is not inserted into the melt. In addition, the present invention also proposes an electrode depth calculation method for measuring the relative depth of the electrode and adopts visual image monitoring technology in the electrode intelligent lifting system to achieve accurate real-time control of the electrode depth; reduce the electrode corrosion rate, improve current efficiency, effectively protect the furnace bottom and extend the furnace overhaul cycle, help enterprises improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and reduce costs and increase efficiency.

[0018] To achieve the above object, the present invention also provides the following technical solutions:

[0019] An anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control system, which is applied to the anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control device, and the anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control system includes:

[0020] The first acquisition module is used to tighten the upper brake, release the lower brake, loosen the clamping ring but retain some clamping force so that the conductive copper shoe can still fit the electrode. The lifting cylinder descends and inserts the electrode to a predetermined depth. The slag surface height at this time is collected and set to 0. The clamping ring is then clamped and the clamping force is increased to the set value so that the conductive copper shoe and the electrode are tightly fitted.

[0021] The second acquisition module is used to set the slag surface height to be collected once every certain period of time, and then calculate the height change, adjust the clamping force of the clamping ring, and collect the remaining ascending stroke and the remaining descending stroke of the lifting cylinder; if the height change is less than zero, when the remaining descending stroke is greater than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to descend by the absolute value of the height change; when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, specifically: the holding force of the lower brake is increased, the upper brake is released, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of the stroke, then the holding force of the upper brake is increased, and the lower brake is released;

[0022] The adjustment execution module is used to continue the electrode lifting process after the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted; after the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased, and after a period of time, the next slag surface height collection process is entered.

[0023] As a further improvement of the present invention, the second acquisition module includes: after collecting the slag surface height and setting it to 0, the clamping ring is clamped to make the conductive copper tile fit tightly against the electrode, and the slag surface height is collected when the time from the last slag surface height collection is greater than or equal to the set interval time; the product of the collected slag surface height and the corrosion efficiency perpendicular to the electrode surface in the slag layer and the interval time is calculated to obtain the height change value, the clamping force of the clamping ring is adjusted, and the remaining rising stroke and remaining descending stroke of the lifting cylinder are collected; according to whether the calculated height change value is greater than 0, it is judged whether the lifting cylinder should drive the upper brake to descend or ascend.

[0024] As a further improvement of the present invention, the second acquisition module further includes:

[0025] When the calculated height change is less than or equal to 0, and the remaining descending stroke is greater than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to descend by the absolute value of the height change; when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted;

[0026] When adjusting the stroke of the lifting cylinder, the holding force of the lower brake increases, the upper brake releases, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of the stroke, then the holding force of the upper brake increases, and the lower brake releases;

[0027] After the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, the electrode lifting process continues. After the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring increases, and after the set time, the next slag surface height collection process begins.

[0028] As a further improvement of the present invention, the second acquisition module further includes:

[0029] When the calculated height change is greater than 0 and the remaining rising stroke is greater than the height change value, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to rise by the height change value; when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted;

[0030] When adjusting the stroke of the lifting cylinder, the holding force of the lower brake increases, the upper brake releases, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of the stroke, then the holding force of the upper brake increases, and the lower brake releases;

[0031] After the stroke adjustment of the lifting cylinder is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring increases, and after the set time, the next slag surface height collection process begins.

[0032] As a further improvement of the present invention, adjusting the execution module for calculating the depth information of the electrode includes:

[0033] The system fuses multi-source data from high-definition cameras, laser scanners, and ultrasonic sensors; the high-definition cameras provide visual information, the laser scanners provide three-dimensional spatial data, and the ultrasonic sensors provide close-range physical contact information. Through multi-source data fusion, electrode depth perception data is obtained. The collected multi-source perception data is pre-processed, including automatic denoising, contrast and brightness adjustment, and image enhancement.

[0034] A deep learning model is constructed by combining convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. The convolutional neural network extracts features from the input image and inputs the features into the recurrent neural network. The recurrent neural network outputs the depth information of the electrode through iterative calculation of time steps.

[0035] The electrode depth results calculated by the deep learning model are fed back to the control center in real time. The control center adjusts the lifting cylinder and clamping ring according to the electrode depth and dynamically adjusts the control parameters.

[0036] As a further improvement of the present invention, adjusting the depth information of the output electrode of the execution module includes:

[0037] The pre-processed multi-source sensory data, including high-definition camera images, 3D point cloud data from laser scanners, and contact signals from ultrasonic sensors, is fused into a multimodal data set and fed into the input layer of a convolutional neural network.

Residual connections are introduced between convolution layers. Adaptive pooling uses an adaptive pooling method to dynamically adjust the size of the pooling window according to the size of the input feature map. Through multi-layer pooling operations, the size of the feature map is gradually reduced to extract high-level feature representations. After each pooling operation, the size of the feature map is halved, and the level of feature abstraction increases layer by layer.

[0039] The output of the pooling layer is flattened, combined with the data from the laser scanner and ultrasonic sensor for feature fusion, and then input into the fully connected layer. The fully connected layer extracts high-level feature representations through fully connected neurons. An attention mechanism is introduced into the fully connected layer to automatically learn the importance of different features.

[0040] The feature vectors extracted by the convolutional neural network are combined with the data from the laser scanner and ultrasonic sensor for multimodal data fusion, and the data is input into the input layer of the recurrent neural network. The laser scanner provides three-dimensional spatial data of the electrode, and the ultrasonic sensor provides physical contact information between the electrode and the working surface.

[0041] A multi-layer long short-term memory network is used to perform iterative calculations of time steps. At each time step, the current input data and the hidden state of the previous time step are received and the current hidden state is updated. The output of the hidden layer contains not only the feature information of the current time step, but also the time series information of the historical time steps.

[0042] Receive the feature vectors extracted by the convolutional neural network and the three-dimensional spatial data from the laser scanner and update the hidden state; the hidden state contains the visual features and spatial position information of the electrode at the current time step; continue to receive multi-source data, and through iterative calculation of time steps, gradually optimize the predicted results of the electrode depth. The convolutional neural network captures the temporal dynamics of the electrode lifting process;

[0043] The output layer outputs the depth information of the electrode, and also outputs the contact status and motion trajectory of the electrode.

[0044] As a further improvement of the present invention, the physical contact information of the ultrasonic sensor is received, and the current hidden state is updated in combination with the hidden state of the previous time step; the hidden state includes the visual and spatial information of the electrode, and also includes the temporal changes of the physical contact.

[0045] As a further improvement of the present invention, the output of the output layer is based on the input data of the current time step and also based on the hidden state of the historical time step.

[0046] The silicon carbide ceramic sleeve body of the present invention serves as the main part to cover the part of the electrode inside the furnace that is not inserted into the melt, thereby preventing a large amount of high-temperature flue gas from damaging the electrode, and at the same time preventing splashing melt from adhering to the electrode and increasing the load on the electrode lifting mechanism, and avoiding scratching the electrode and causing structural damage when cold materials such as scrap steel are added; the upper seal and the lower seal adopt a flexible filler sealing structure to prevent flue gas from entering the sleeve and causing corrosion to the electrode; the booster air pump is installed on the fixed flange to inject air into the ceramic sleeve to make the internal pressure slightly higher than the external air pressure, thereby preventing flue gas from entering the sleeve during the electrode lifting process; the fixed flange is used to fix the sleeve on the furnace top; the electrode is the object to be sealed and protected, and the electrode passes through the entire sealing device, its position is fixed and needs to be prevented from intrusion of external media by the upper seal and the lower seal; the bottom plate is the bottom support structure of the sealing device, which provides It provides a basis for installation and fixation; the flexible sealing layer is the key part of the seal, which is made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, and is tightly attached between the electrode and the base plate to form a preliminary sealing effect; the insulating pressure plate is located on the upper and lower sides of the flexible sealing layer, and mainly plays the role of fixing the flexible sealing layer, transmitting the pressing force and providing insulation protection; the pressing column and the wedge are used to press the insulating pressure plate and the flexible sealing layer tightly against the electrode and the base plate to ensure the tightness of the seal.

[0067] Preferably, the working principle of this embodiment is: the upper brake 18 is clamped, the lower brake 14 is released, the clamping ring 13 is released but some clamping force is retained so that the conductive copper tile can just still fit with the electrode 1, the lifting cylinder 17 is lowered and the electrode 1 is inserted into the predetermined depth, the slag surface height at this time is collected, and the slag surface height at this time is set to 0, and then the clamping ring 13 is clamped, and the clamping force is increased to the set value so that the conductive copper tile is tightly fitted with the electrode 1; the slag surface height is collected once every period of time, and then the height change is calculated, the clamping force of the clamping ring 13 is adjusted, and the remaining rising stroke and remaining falling stroke of the lifting cylinder 17 are collected; if the height change is less than zero, when the remaining falling stroke is greater than When the absolute value of the height change is less than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder 17 drives the upper brake 18 to descend by the absolute value of the height change; when the remaining value is less than the absolute value of the height change, the stroke of the lifting cylinder 17 is adjusted, specifically: the clamping force of the lower brake 14 increases, the upper brake 18 is released, the lifting cylinder 17 drives the upper brake 18 to 1 / 2 of the stroke, and then the clamping force of the upper brake 18 increases, and the lower brake 14 is released; after the stroke of the lifting cylinder 17 is adjusted, the electrode 1 lifting process continues to be executed; after the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring 13 increases, and the next acquisition process is entered after a period of time; in the intelligent electrode lifting control system, manual intervention and manual adjustment of each actuator can be performed.

[0068] To sum up, the clamping ring 13 of this embodiment ensures good contact between the electrode and the conductive copper tile, thereby improving the current transmission efficiency, reducing energy loss, and improving the accuracy and stability of the electrode 1 lifting and lowering; the lower brake provides safe support and stability during the lifting and lowering of the electrode 1, so that the lifting operation is carried out smoothly, and prevents equipment damage or safety accidents caused by shaking or slipping of the electrode 1; the first fixed platform 15 provides a stable installation environment for the lower brake, ensuring stability and safety during the lifting and lowering of the electrode 1; the second fixed platform 16 provides a stable installation environment for the lifting cylinder 17, ensuring the smooth progress and accuracy of the lifting and lowering operation of the electrode 1; the lifting cylinder 17 realizes the precise lifting and lowering operation of the motor, so that the electrode 1 can accurately reach the predetermined position, thereby meeting the requirements of the production process; the upper brake provides additional safe support and stability during the lifting and lowering of the electrode 1, so that the lifting operation is carried out smoothly, and prevents equipment damage or safety accidents caused by shaking or slipping of the electrode 1.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides an embodiment of an anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control method. In this embodiment, the anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control method is applied to the anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control device in the above embodiment. The anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] Step S1: The upper brake is tightened, the lower brake is released, the clamping ring is loosened but some clamping force is retained so that the conductive copper sheet can still fit the electrode. The lifting cylinder is lowered and the electrode is inserted into the predetermined depth. The slag surface height at this time is collected and set to 0. The clamping ring is then clamped and the clamping force is increased to the set value so that the conductive copper sheet can fit tightly to the electrode.

[0071] Step S2: Set the slag surface height to be collected once every certain period of time, then calculate the height change, adjust the clamping force of the clamping ring, and collect the remaining ascending stroke and remaining descending stroke of the lifting cylinder; if the height change is less than zero, when the remaining descending stroke is greater than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to descend by the absolute value of the height change; when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, adjust the lifting cylinder stroke, specifically: increase the holding force of the lower brake, release the upper brake, and the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of the stroke, then increase the holding force of the upper brake, and release the lower brake;

[0072] Step S3: After the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, the electrode lifting process continues; after the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring increases, and after a period of time, the next slag surface height collection process begins.

[0073] Preferably, step S1 of this embodiment ensures the stability of the electrode during insertion, preventing the electrode from shifting or shaking during insertion; maintains slight contact between the conductive copper tile and the electrode, ensuring that the electrode or copper tile will not be damaged due to excessive clamping force during electrode insertion; accurately controls the insertion depth of the electrode to ensure that the electrode can reach the expected operating position; provides a reference point for height change measurement to ensure the accuracy of height measurement; ensures that the electrode and the conductive copper tile fit tightly together to improve conductivity efficiency and stability. Step S2 monitors the changes in the slag surface height in real time to ensure that the operating environment of the electrode is always within a controllable range; dynamically adjusts the clamping force according to the changes in the slag surface height to ensure that the electrode can remain stable at different heights; ensures that the lifting cylinder has sufficient travel margin during the adjustment process to avoid operational failure due to insufficient travel; adjusts the operation of the lifting cylinder according to the remaining travel to ensure that the electrode can accurately descend to the required height, and at the same time ensures the stability and safety of the electrode by adjusting the braking force. After the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted in step S3, the electrode lifting process continues to be executed to ensure that the electrode can continue to work normally after the adjustment, avoiding operation interruption caused by stroke adjustment; after the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased to ensure that the electrode can be stably fixed after the lifting is completed, preventing the electrode from loosening or shifting during operation; after a period of time, the next slag surface height collection process is entered, and the changes in the slag surface height are continuously monitored to ensure that the operating environment of the electrode is always in the best state.

[0074] In summary, this embodiment ensures electrode stability and safety in corrosive environments by precisely controlling electrode insertion depth and dynamically adjusting clamping force and lift stroke. This not only increases electrode lifespan and conductivity, but also reduces operational risks associated with electrode instability, thereby improving overall system reliability and operational efficiency.

[0075] In step S1 of this embodiment, the upper brake is tightened and the lower brake is released to ensure the stability of the electrode during the lifting process; the clamping ring is loosened but some clamping force is retained to keep the conductive copper tile in contact with the electrode, ready for current transmission; the lifting cylinder descends and inserts the electrode to achieve accurate insertion of the electrode; the slag surface height is collected and set to 0 to provide a reference for the change in slag surface height; the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased to make the conductive copper tile fit tightly with the electrode to ensure current transmission efficiency; step S2 regularly collects the slag surface height and calculates the change to monitor the dynamic change of the slag surface; adjusts according to the height change The clamping force of the clamping ring and the stroke of the lifting cylinder are used to achieve precise control of the electrode lifting; when the remaining formation is insufficient, the clamping force of the upper and lower brakes is adjusted to improve the stability of the electrode and the continuity of the lifting; after the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted in step S3, the electrode lifting process is continued to make the electrode lift according to the predetermined requirements; after the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased to consolidate the contact between the electrode and the conductive copper tile, and prepare for the next lifting; enter the next collection process to realize the cyclic operation of the system; allow human intervention and manual control, which improves the operability and emergency handling capability of the system.

[0076] In this embodiment, the upper brake is first tightened and the clamping force is set to N1. The lower brake is released, i.e., the clamping force is 0. The clamping ring is loosened but a partial clamping force N2 is retained so that the conductive copper sheet can still fit the electrode. The lifting cylinder descends and inserts the electrode to a predetermined depth H. The slag surface height A at this time is recorded and set to 0 (if A>0, the slag surface is elevated; if A<0, the slag surface is lowered). The clamping ring is then tightened, and the clamping force is increased from N2 to a set value N3 so that the conductive copper sheet and the electrode fit tightly. The slag surface height A is recorded once every interval t, and Δh=A-ηt is then calculated (where η is the corrosion rate perpendicular to the electrode surface in the slag layer; η for different furnace types and smelting conditions can be determined experimentally). The clamping force of the clamping ring is adjusted to N2, and the remaining ascending stroke D and descending stroke d of the lifting cylinder are recorded. If △h>0, when the remaining rising stroke D is greater than △h, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to rise by △h; if △h<0, when the remaining descending stroke d is greater than |△h|, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to descend by |△h|; when the remaining stroke is less than |△h|, adjust the lifting cylinder stroke, specifically: the lower brake holding force increases to N1, the upper brake is released, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 stroke, then the upper brake holding force increases to N1, and the lower brake is released; after the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, the electrode lifting process continues. After the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring increases to N3, and the next A acquisition process is entered after time t. In the intelligent electrode lifting control system, manual intervention and manual control of each actuator can be performed (for specific schematic diagrams, please refer to the attached Figure 10 ).

[0077] During the smelting process in the electric furnace of this embodiment, if the electrode lifting amplitude is too large, it will seriously affect the stability of the molten pool. If the electrode lifting frequency is too low, it will be difficult to adapt to changing furnace conditions. Therefore, the time t and Δh are set according to the different furnace types and smelting conditions, generally 5 to 10 seconds, and Δh is generally set to 10 to 20 mm. The lifting speed of the electrode for diameters greater than 1 meter is generally 3 to 8 mm per second, and the lifting speed of the electrode for diameters less than 1 meter is 6 to 13 mm per second. The electrode travel depends on the fluctuation of the liquid level and the insertion depth, and is generally 1.2 to 1.6 meters.

[0078] To sum up, the silicon carbide ceramic sleeve of this embodiment can prevent high-temperature flue gas from scouring and corroding the part of the intracranial electrode that is not inserted into the melt, reduce splashing melt adhesion, and prevent cold materials such as scrap steel from colliding and scratching the electrode, causing damage to the electrode structure; the intelligent electrode lifting system can accurately and in real time regulate the electrode depth, so that the electrode tip is always at the appropriate depth, reduce the electrode corrosion efficiency, effectively protect the furnace bottom and extend the furnace overhaul cycle, help enterprises improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and reduce costs and increase efficiency.

[0079] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, step S2 specifically includes:

[0080] Step S21: After collecting the slag surface height and setting it to 0, the clamping ring is clamped to make the conductive copper tile fit tightly with the electrode. When the time since the last slag surface height collection is greater than or equal to the set interval time, the slag surface height is collected;

[0081] Step S22: Calculate the product of the collected slag surface height, the corrosion efficiency perpendicular to the electrode surface in the slag layer, and the interval time to obtain a height change value, adjust the clamping force of the clamping ring, and collect the remaining ascending stroke and remaining descending stroke of the lifting cylinder;

[0082] Step S23: Based on whether the calculated height change value is greater than 0, it is determined whether the lifting cylinder should drive the upper brake to descend or ascend.

[0083] Preferably, in step S21 of this embodiment, the slag surface height is collected and set to 0, setting a reference height to provide a reference point for subsequent height change measurements and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of height measurements. The clamping ring is clamped to ensure that the conductive copper shoe is tightly attached to the electrode, ensuring that the electrode remains stable during the slag surface height change process and preventing the electrode from loosening and affecting the conductive efficiency and safety. When the time since the last slag surface height collection is greater than or equal to the set interval, the slag surface height is collected. The slag surface height is collected regularly to ensure real-time monitoring of changes in the electrode surrounding environment and timely adjustment of operating parameters. Step S22 calculates the collected slag surface height and the product of the corrosion efficiency perpendicular to the electrode surface in the slag layer and the interval time. By calculating the height change value, the corrosion of the electrode in the slag layer is quantified to provide data support for subsequent adjustments. The clamping force of the clamping ring is adjusted according to the height change value to ensure that the electrode remains stable under different corrosion levels and prevent electrode loosening or damage caused by corrosion. The remaining upward and downward strokes of the lifting cylinder are collected to ensure that the lifting cylinder has sufficient travel margin during the adjustment process and avoid operation failure due to insufficient travel. In step S23, based on whether the calculated height change value is greater than 0, the lifting cylinder is judged to drive the upper brake to descend or ascend, and the operating direction of the lifting cylinder is determined according to the positive or negative height change value to ensure that the electrode can be accurately adjusted to the required height and maintain the stability of the operating environment; the lifting cylinder is judged to drive the upper brake to descend or ascend, and through precise judgment and adjustment, it is ensured that the electrode can maintain the best working state at different heights, thereby improving operational efficiency and safety.

[0084] In this embodiment, step S21 collects the slag surface height and sets it to 0, providing a reference point for calculating the height change of the slag surface; the clamping ring is clamped to make the conductive copper tile fit tightly against the electrode, so that the current can be efficiently transmitted to the electrode through the conductive copper tile; when the time since the last slag surface height collection is greater than or equal to the set interval time, the slag surface height is collected, which allows the system to periodically monitor the height change of the slag surface and adjust the position of the electrode in time; step S22 compares the current slag surface height with the reference height to obtain the height change of the slag surface, which reflects the corrosion of the electrode in the slag layer; according to the height change value, the system can automatically adjust the clamping force of the clamping ring to adapt to the changes of the electrode during the corrosion process and improve the stability and safety of the electrode; collecting the remaining rising stroke and remaining falling stroke of the lifting cylinder helps the system determine whether the position of the electrode needs to be adjusted, as well as the adjustment range; step S23 determines whether the lifting cylinder should drive the upper brake to descend or ascend based on the height change value.

[0085] In this embodiment, after the slag surface height A is collected and set to 0, the clamping ring is clamped, and the clamping force is increased from N2 to the set value N3 to make the conductive copper tile fit tightly with the electrode. When the time from the last slag surface height collection is greater than or equal to the set interval time t, the slag surface height A is collected; the product of the collected slag surface height A and the corrosion efficiency η perpendicular to the electrode surface in the slag layer and the interval time t is calculated (Δh=A-ηt) to obtain the height change value Δh, and the clamping force of the clamping ring is adjusted to N2, and the remaining rising stroke D and remaining falling stroke d of the lifting cylinder are collected; according to whether the calculated height change value Δh is greater than 0, it is determined whether the lifting cylinder should drive the upper brake to descend or ascend (for the specific principle diagram, please refer to the attached Figure 10 ).

[0086] In summary, this embodiment ensures electrode stability and safety in corrosive environments by regularly collecting slag surface height, calculating height changes, and dynamically adjusting the clamping force and lifting stroke. This not only improves the electrode's service life and conductive efficiency, but also reduces operational risks caused by electrode instability, thereby improving the reliability and operational efficiency of the entire system. Through precise control and adjustment, this embodiment ensures that the electrode maintains optimal operating conditions under varying degrees of corrosion, providing reliable technical support for industrial production. This embodiment provides a reference point for slag surface height changes and a periodic monitoring mechanism, providing data support for electrode lifting and corrosion process control, ensuring good contact between the electrode and the conductive copper sheet, and ensuring efficient and stable current transmission. It also provides a real-time monitoring and adjustment mechanism for the electrode corrosion process, helping to extend the electrode's service life and improve production efficiency. By adjusting the clamping force of the clamping ring and the stroke of the lifting cylinder, the system can automatically adapt to changes in electrode corrosion, ensuring electrode stability and safety. Automatic adjustment of the electrode position is achieved to address height changes caused by corrosion, thereby maintaining the electrode's proper position in the slag layer, helping to maintain effective contact between the electrode and the slag layer, and improving electrode corrosion efficiency and production process stability.

[0087] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the process of step S23 determining whether the lifting cylinder should drive the upper brake to descend or ascend specifically includes:

[0088] Step S231: When the calculated height change is less than or equal to 0, and the remaining descent stroke is greater than the absolute value of the height change, the lift cylinder drives the upper brake to descend by the absolute value of the height change; when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, the lift cylinder stroke is adjusted;

[0089] Step S232: When adjusting the stroke of the lifting cylinder, the holding force of the lower brake increases, the upper brake is released, and the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of its stroke. Then, the holding force of the upper brake increases, and the lower brake is released.

[0090] Step S233: After the stroke of the lifting cylinder is adjusted, the electrode lifting process continues. After the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring increases, and after the set time, the next slag surface height collection process begins.

[0091] Preferably, step S231 of this embodiment accurately controls the descent height, and ensures that the lifting cylinder only descends to the required height by calculating the height change, avoiding excessive descent; the stroke adjustment mechanism, when the remaining stroke is insufficient to complete the required height change, the system can automatically adjust the stroke of the lifting cylinder to avoid operation failure or equipment damage. Significance: Accurately control the descent height to ensure that the equipment remains stable during operation and reduce errors; through the stroke adjustment mechanism, avoid equipment damage caused by insufficient stroke and extend the service life of the equipment. Step S232 Dynamically adjust the brake force. When adjusting the stroke of the lifting cylinder, by increasing the holding force of the lower brake, ensure the stability of the equipment during the adjustment process; the smooth transition of the stroke adjustment is achieved by first releasing the upper brake and then increasing the holding force to ensure a smooth transition of the stroke adjustment process and avoid impact. Significance: By dynamically adjusting the brake force, ensure the safety of the equipment during the stroke adjustment process and prevent accidents; the smooth transition of the stroke adjustment process reduces equipment vibration and impact, and improves the smoothness and comfort of operation. In step S233, after adjusting the lift cylinder's stroke, the electrode lift process continues to ensure continuity throughout the entire operation. After the lift is complete, the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased to ensure the stability of the equipment after the operation. Significance: By ensuring process continuity, operational interruptions are reduced and overall operational efficiency is improved. Increasing the clamping force of the clamping ring ensures the stability of the equipment after the operation, preventing displacement or damage due to loosening.

[0092] In step S231 of this embodiment, when the calculated height change is less than or equal to 0, the system determines the action of the lifting cylinder based on the relationship between the remaining descent stroke and the absolute value of the height change; if the remaining descent stroke is greater than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to descend by a corresponding height so that the electrode can accurately descend to the target position; if the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, the stroke of the lifting cylinder is adjusted to avoid excessive descent or damage to the equipment; in step S232, when adjusting the stroke of the lifting cylinder, the system first increases the holding force of the lower brake so that the lower brake can stably support the electrode, then releases the upper brake, allowing the lifting cylinder to drive the upper brake to move to the 1 / 2 stroke position, then increases the holding force of the upper brake and releases the lower brake to complete the stroke adjustment; in step S233, after the stroke of the lifting cylinder is adjusted, the system continues to execute the electrode lifting process until the lifting is completed. After the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased to ensure the stability and safety of the electrode; after the set time, the system enters the next slag surface height collection process to prepare for the next electrode lifting.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the calculated height change △h is less than or equal to 0, and the remaining descending stroke d is greater than the absolute value of the height change |△h|, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to descend by |△h|; when the remaining stroke is less than |△h|, the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted; when the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, the lower brake holding force increases to N1, the upper brake is released, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of the stroke, and then the upper brake holding force increases to N1, and the lower brake is released; after the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, the electrode lifting process continues to be executed. After the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring increases to N3, and after the set time t, the next slag surface height A collection process is entered (for specific principle diagrams, please refer to the attached Figure 10 ).

[0094] In summary, this embodiment can improve the accuracy and safety of electrode lifting by precisely controlling the action of the lifting cylinder, avoiding electrode damage or accidents caused by height miscalculation or equipment failure; it can ensure the stability and safety of the electrode during the stroke adjustment process, avoiding problems such as electrode shaking or falling off due to improper stroke adjustment; by increasing the clamping force of the clamping ring, the electrode can be stably placed at the target position after the lifting is completed, and by regularly collecting slag surface height information, the electrode wear and slag surface changes can be monitored in real time, providing accurate data support for the electrode lifting operation. This embodiment ensures the safety, accuracy and efficiency of the lifting cylinder operation through precise control, dynamic adjustment and process continuity. Each step is designed to maximize the protection of the equipment, improve the stability and efficiency of the operation, and thus achieve the best operating effect.

[0095] Further, if Figure 7 As shown, the process of step S23 determining whether the lifting cylinder should drive the upper brake to descend or ascend specifically includes:

[0096] Step S234: When the calculated height change is greater than 0 and the remaining lifting stroke is greater than the height change value, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to rise by the height change value; when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted;

[0097] Step S235: When adjusting the stroke of the lifting cylinder, the holding force of the lower brake increases, the upper brake is released, and the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of its stroke. Then, the holding force of the upper brake increases, and the lower brake is released.

[0098] Step S236: After the stroke adjustment of the lifting cylinder is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased, and after the set time, the next slag surface height collection process begins.

[0099] Preferably, step S234 of this embodiment precisely controls the lifting height. When the calculated height change is greater than 0 and the remaining lifting stroke is greater than the height change value, the lift cylinder accurately drives the upper brake to raise by the height change value, ensuring that each ascent is consistent with the calculated value. During stroke adjustment, when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, the system adjusts the lift cylinder's stroke to avoid operational failure or equipment damage caused by insufficient stroke. Significance: Improving operational accuracy by precisely controlling the lifting height ensures that the equipment can accurately reach the predetermined position during operation, improving operational precision and safety. Preventing insufficient stroke by timely adjusting the stroke prevents equipment jamming or damage caused by insufficient stroke, thereby extending equipment service life. Step S235 performs a safe transition. When adjusting the lift cylinder's stroke, the lower brake's holding force increases and the upper brake releases, ensuring that the equipment does not accidentally descend during the stroke adjustment process and ensuring operational safety. Smooth transition: After the lift cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of its stroke, the upper brake's holding force increases and the lower brake releases, achieving a smooth transition and avoiding equipment vibration or instability caused by sudden changes in brake force. Significance: By increasing the clamping force, it is ensured that the equipment will not move accidentally during the stroke adjustment process, thereby improving the safety of operation; by making a smooth transition, it is avoided that the equipment will vibrate or become unstable during operation, thereby improving the smoothness and reliability of operation. After the stroke adjustment of the lifting cylinder in step S236 is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring is increased to ensure that the equipment will not loosen or shift during operation; after the set time, it enters the next process; after the set time, it automatically enters the next slag surface height collection process, realizing automated operation and improving work efficiency. Significance: By increasing the clamping force, it is ensured that the equipment remains stable during operation, avoiding operational failures due to looseness; automated operation, automatically entering the next process after the set time, realizing automated operation, reducing manual intervention, and improving work efficiency and consistency of operation.

[0100] In step S234 of this embodiment, the lifting cylinder adjusts the position of the upper brake according to the height change value, so that the upper brake maintains an appropriate distance from the slag surface. If the remaining rising stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change, in order to avoid overlimit, the stroke of the lifting cylinder needs to be adjusted; in step S235, when adjusting the stroke of the lifting cylinder, the equipment is first fixed by increasing the clamping force of the lower brake. After the upper brake is released, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to move to 1 / 2 of the stroke, and then increases the clamping force of the upper brake, releases the lower brake, and completes the adjustment of the upper brake position; after the lifting cylinder stroke adjustment is completed, the equipment is further fixed by increasing the clamping force of the clamping ring. After waiting for the set time, the equipment stabilizes and enters the next slag surface height collection process.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the calculated height change △h is greater than 0, and the remaining rising stroke D is greater than the height change value △h, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to rise by the height change value △h; when the remaining stroke is less than the absolute value of the height change |△h|, the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted; when the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, the lower brake holding force increases to N1, the upper brake is released, the lifting cylinder drives the upper brake to 1 / 2 of the stroke, and then the upper brake holding force increases to N1, and the lower brake is released; after the lifting cylinder stroke is adjusted, the electrode lifting process continues to be executed. After the lifting is completed, the clamping force of the clamping ring increases to N3, and after the set time t, the next slag surface height A collection process is entered (for specific principle diagrams, please refer to the attached Figure 10 ).

[0102] In summary, this embodiment enables the upper brake to accurately follow changes in the slag surface, maintaining the stability and working efficiency of the equipment. By judging the relationship between the remaining stroke and the height change, equipment damage or operational errors caused by exceeding the stroke limit are avoided. By alternating between the upper and lower brakes to ensure the stability of the equipment, shaking or instability that may occur during the adjustment process is avoided. By precisely controlling the movement distance of the upper brake, the accuracy and efficiency of the adjustment are improved. The stability of the equipment after adjustment is improved, providing a reliable basis for the next slag surface height acquisition. By setting a waiting time, acquisition errors caused by the equipment not being completely stable are avoided, and the accuracy of the acquisition is improved. This embodiment ensures the safety, accuracy, and efficiency of the lifting process of the upper brake driven by the lifting cylinder through precise control, safe transition, and automated operation, thereby improving the overall performance of the equipment and the reliability of its operation.

[0103] Further, if Figure 8 As shown, the anti-corrosion intelligent electrode lifting control method of this embodiment also includes an electrode depth measurement method, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0104] Step S4: Fusing multi-source data from a high-definition camera, laser scanner, and ultrasonic sensor; the high-definition camera provides visual information, the laser scanner provides three-dimensional spatial data, and the ultrasonic sensor provides close-range physical contact information; through multi-source data fusion, electrode depth perception data is obtained; the collected multi-source perception data is pre-processed, including automatic denoising, contrast and brightness adjustment, and image enhancement processing;

[0105] Step S5: A deep learning model is constructed by combining a convolutional neural network and a recurrent neural network.

This complex equation can be used to comprehensively evaluate the control center's work efficiency and make corresponding optimization and adjustments based on the evaluation results, thereby improving overall work efficiency.

[0115] Logistic regression models are often used for binary classification problems. Their output is a probability value, which represents the probability of an event occurring. The mathematical expression of the logistic regression model is as follows:

[0116]

[0117] Where P(Y=1|X) represents the probability of event Y=1 when the input variable X is given, X represents the input variable vector, and represents the various factors that affect the occurrence of the event, X1, X2, ..., X n Represents the various components of the input variables, representing different influencing factors, β0 represents the intercept term, which represents the probability of the event occurring when all input variables are 0, β1, β2,…, β nrepresents the regression coefficient, indicating the influence of each input variable on the probability of an event. e represents a natural constant, approximately equal to 2.71828. By introducing logistic regression and regression models, a more comprehensive assessment of control center efficiency can be achieved. The logistic regression model is used to evaluate the control center's performance in handling complex logical decisions, while the regression model is used to assess its performance in handling continuous variables. The output values ​​of these two models, summed, serve as two indicators in the control center efficiency evaluation equation, helping to more accurately assess and optimize the control center's efficiency.
