[0061] The feeding unit is connected to the control module and the reagent module respectively. The feeding unit is arranged on the flotation feeding pipe and is used to detect the concentration parameters and flow parameters of the feeding material.

[0062] A slurry unit, connected to the control module, is used to detect ash parameters of flotation concentrate and flotation tailings;

[0063] The air filling unit is connected to the control module and the reagent module respectively, and is used to detect the air filling volume parameters of the air filling pipe of each tank in the flotation machine;

[0064] The liquid level unit is connected to the control module and the reagent module respectively, and is used to detect the liquid level parameters of the tailings in the flotation machine;

[0065] The foam unit is connected to the control module and the reagent module respectively, and is used to detect the thickness parameters of the foam layer of each tank in the flotation machine;

[0066] The reagent module is used to determine the initial dosage of the flotation machine based on the reagent dosing control model, where the reagent dosing control model is:

[0067] Output=K p *E+K i *∫Ed t +K d *d E / d t +Base+f(Q gas , H liquid , T foam , C feed , A concentrate , A tailing , W dilution )

[0068] Where, Output is the control signal of the metering pump, K p is the proportional coefficient, E is the error value, K i is the integration coefficient, ∫Ed t is the integral of the deviation, K d is the differential coefficient, d E / d t is the derivative of the deviation, Base is the feedforward value; f is the function; Q gas is the inflation volume parameter; H liquid is the liquid level parameter; T foam is the thickness parameter of the foam layer; C feed is the concentration parameter of the feed; Aconcentrate is the concentrate ash parameter; A tailing is the tailings ash parameter; W dilution For dilution water volume;

[0069] The control module is used to: obtain the control parameters in the flotation machine, which include the concentration parameter and flow parameter of the feed, ash parameter, aeration parameter, liquid level parameter and thickness parameter of the foam layer; determine the target dosage of the flotation machine based on the preset dosing strategy and control parameters; and control the reagent module to add the target dosage into the flotation machine.

[0070] The present invention adjusts the parameters of the reagent module and the parameter module in real time through the control module, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of parameters such as feed concentration, flow rate, concentrate tailings ash content, foam layer thickness, flotation liquid level and inflation volume, improving flotation efficiency and product quality, reducing reagent consumption and environmental pollution, and improving flotation efficiency and product quality.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the drug module includes a construction unit, a feedback unit and an optimization unit;

[0072] The construction unit is used to construct a dosing control model based on real-time control parameters and preset dosing strategies;

[0073] The feedback unit is connected with the building unit and is used to correct the feedforward value and the error value in the dosing control model;

[0074] The optimization unit is connected with the construction unit and is used for optimizing the dosing control model based on historical data.

[0075] Specifically, the drug module provided by the present invention can achieve precise control of drug addition through the following process:

[0076] First, the construction unit is based on a large amount of laboratory and industrial test data to establish a mathematical model between the flotation reagent dosage (that is, the preset dosing strategy) and the concentration parameters and flow parameters of the feed, ash parameters, aeration parameters, liquid level parameters and thickness parameters, and obtain the dosing control model. The mathematical expression of the dosing control model is:

[0077] Output=K p *E+K i *∫Ed t +K d *d E / d t +Base+f(Q gas , H liquid , T foam , C feed , A concentrate , A tailing , Wdilution )

[0078] Where, Output is the control signal of the metering pump, K p is the proportional coefficient, E is the error value, K i is the integration coefficient, ∫Ed t is the integral of the deviation, K d is the differential coefficient, d E / d t is the derivative of the deviation, Base is the feedforward value; f is the function; Q gas is the inflation volume parameter; H liquid is the liquid level parameter; T foam is the thickness parameter of the foam layer; C feed is the concentration parameter of the feed; A concentrate is the concentrate ash parameter; A tailing is the tailings ash parameter; W dilution For dilution water.

[0079] The f parameter function in the dosing control model can be modified according to actual conditions.

[0080] In order to simplify the model, we can assume that the f parameter function is linear, that is:

[0081] f(Q gas , H liquid , T foam , C feed , A concentrate , A tailing , W dilution )

[0082] =∑K i *x i

[0083] Among them, K i is the weight coefficient of each parameter, x i is the corresponding parameter value, i.e. Q gas , H liquid , T foam , C feed , A concentrate , A tailing , W dilution .

[0084] Furthermore, in the present invention, a PID (proportional-integral-differential) control algorithm or a neural network analysis control algorithm can be used to realize automatic dosing control.

[0085] Secondly, the feedback unit corrects the feedforward value and error parameter in the dosing control model according to the real-time ash content parameter of the slurry, thereby forming a closed-circuit flotation intelligent dosing method combining feedforward and feedback. The correction parameter can be adjusted step by step within a reasonable range based on machine learning or equipment debugging to adjust the error parameter and basic feedforward adjustment parameter in the model, so as to obtain a control model that meets the current qualified index requirements;

[0086] Finally, the optimization unit optimizes the dosing control model based on historical data to make its dosing control module more in line with current production conditions. The dosing control model can be matched and optimized based on manually trained data and various data collected daily during the production process. That is, the types of coal with different properties and the dosing control model are matched and matched, and the dosing control model is continuously optimized to achieve precise control, thereby making the dosing control model more adaptable to various production conditions.

[0087] In an optional embodiment, the medicine module further includes a medicine impurity removal unit, an emulsification unit, a medicine barrel and a quantitative addition unit;

[0088] The quantitative adding unit is connected to the reagent barrel and the control module respectively, and is used to add the required amount of reagent to the flotation machine;

[0089] The medicine impurity removal unit is connected to the medicine barrel and is used to remove impurities in the medicine of the required dosage;

[0090] The emulsification unit is connected to the medicine barrel and is used to emulsify the medicine in the required dosage.

[0091] Specifically, the reagent barrel is connected to the flotation machine through a quantitative adding unit. During the reagent adding process, the quantitative adding unit adds the required amount of reagent into the flotation machine according to the instructions issued by the control module. Before adding the reagent to the flotation machine, the reagent removal unit and the emulsification unit are required to remove impurities and emulsify the reagent, thereby achieving precise control of the reagent addition amount, reducing reagent consumption and energy consumption, and improving flotation efficiency.

[0092] In an optional embodiment, the gas charging unit includes a gas flow meter and a first regulating subunit;

[0093] The gas flow meter is arranged in the tank body gas filling pipe and connected to the control module, and is used to detect the gas filling amount in the tank body;

[0094] The regulating subunit is connected to the control module and is used to regulate the air intake volume of the inflation pipe based on the air volume in the tank body.

[0095] Specifically, since the flotation machine completes the mineralization, foaming and mineral sorting of reagents and materials through negative pressure inflation, it is necessary to detect the working conditions of flotation inflation through the inflation unit to determine the matching between the current inflation volume and the current production feed volume, sorting indicators, foam layer, liquid level status, etc., so as to achieve the best inflation range adjustment and ensure the stability of flotation indicators.

[0096] The gas flow meter in the present invention can use an integrated gas mass flow meter, a vortex flow meter or other effective detection devices to measure the inflation volume in real time to ensure that the data is accurate and reliable, wherein a 4-20mA signal can be output to the control module for monitoring; the first regulating subunit adjusts the valve opening parameters of the inflation pipe according to the detection result of the gas flow meter to ensure the stability of the inflation volume, thereby ensuring that the flotation machine is in the optimal inflation range.

[0097] In an optional embodiment, the liquid level unit includes a sensor and a second regulating subunit;

[0098] The sensor is arranged in the tank body and connected to the control module, and is used to detect the liquid level parameters in the tank body;

[0099] The second regulating subunit is connected to the control module, and is used to adjust the liquid level parameters in the tank body based on the liquid level adjustment strategy.

[0100] Specifically, the liquid level unit is mainly used to detect the height of the tailings page of the flotation machine and adjust and control the tailings gate to control the liquid level.

[0101] The sensor of the present invention can use a float rod laser level meter to detect the change of the liquid level in the flotation tank in real time. The level meter is composed of a float, a laser level measuring instrument and a bracket, and can accurately measure the slurry level. The sensor transmits the detected liquid level parameters to the control module, and the control module sends to the second regulating subunit to adjust the slurry feed speed or drainage speed to maintain the stability of the liquid level. The sensor and the flotation machine tailings gate are linked based on a comprehensive logic algorithm. The comprehensive logic algorithm determines the adjustment of the liquid level height based on comprehensive factors such as the detected liquid level height, foam layer thickness, feed conditions, and product ash content. When the detected liquid level height parameter is lower than the threshold, the flotation machine tailings gate is lifted. If the liquid level height parameter is higher than the threshold, the flotation machine tailings gate is lowered. By setting normal threshold protection, control abnormalities caused by abnormal working conditions can be avoided.

[0102] In one possible embodiment, the foam unit includes a laser level meter and a defoaming subunit;

[0103] The laser level meter is arranged in the tank body and connected to the control module, and is used to detect the thickness of the foam layer in the tank body;

[0104] The defoaming subunit is connected to the control module and is used to eliminate foam when a high liquid level is detected.

[0105] Specifically, in the present invention, the liquid level and foam thickness of the slurry in the flotation tank are monitored in real time by using a radar or ultrasonic level meter, and the foam layer thickness information is obtained by calculating the difference between the liquid level and the foam layer thickness, that is, the foam layer thickness is obtained by the difference between the total height of the liquid surface and the foam layer and the liquid surface height. Then, according to the change of the foam layer thickness, the control module automatically adjusts the parameters such as the inflation unit or the stirring speed to optimize the flotation effect.

[0106] Furthermore, the laser level meter of the present invention can adopt a non-contact ultrasonic level meter, a magnetostrictive level meter or a laser radar rangefinder, which can penetrate the foam layer cake to accurately measure its thickness or accurately calculate the foam layer thickness by detecting the foam layer level and the actual flotation level.

[0107] Furthermore, the defoaming subunit of the foam unit is a flushing water device, and a flushing water device is added to the measuring cylinder to eliminate the influence of bubbles and pulp foam on the measurement, wherein the measuring cylinder is used to accurately detect the liquid level. After the foam in the measuring cylinder is defoamed by the defoaming subunit (flushing water device), the liquid level is detected.

[0108] In an optional embodiment, the slurry unit includes a detection subunit and an alarm subunit;

[0109] The detection subunit is connected to the control module and is used to obtain the grayscale value of the current tailings and perform rough detection based on the image grayscale algorithm;

[0110] The alarm subunit is connected to the detection subunit and is used to issue corresponding alarms based on the rough detection results.

[0111] In the present invention, the detection subunit adopts an online slurry ash detector (such as DSIA100), uses X-ray technology to directly detect slurry samples, and obtains ash parameters in real time. Its detection accuracy can reach ±0.25% (σ), meeting the requirements of the flotation system.

[0112] Furthermore, the online detector for slurry ash mainly adopts tailings ash image detection, and performs image recognition detection on flotation tailings to perform grayscale recognition on tailings coal slurry water. Through image grayscale recognition training, it adapts tailings ash detection algorithms based on different types of coal and uses image recognition technology to detect the coarseness of tailings, which can realize coarseness recognition alarm. The alarm threshold of the coarse particle size is set in the alarm subunit. When the coarse particles exceed the threshold, an alarm is issued. The alarm subunit is connected to the control module, and the control module can adjust the alarm threshold of the coarse particle size according to the actual working conditions.

[0113] Furthermore, the tailings ash detection algorithm is to pre-process the coal slime water by image acquisition, noise removal, image enhancement, etc., and extract image features, including color, texture and shape features, and use machine learning algorithms including support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) to identify the image features. Finally, the model combination of the integrated algorithm, such as the use of integrated learning frameworks (such as Bagging, Boosting, etc.) to complete data processing and analysis. Ensure data accuracy through image acquisition and processing, intelligent recognition and analysis algorithms.

[0114] In an optional embodiment, the feeding unit includes a concentration subunit, a flow subunit and a third regulating subunit;

[0115] The concentration subunit is connected to the control module and is used to detect the concentration parameters of the input material;

[0116] The flow subunit is connected to the control module and is used to detect the flow parameters of the feed;

[0117] The third regulating subunit is arranged on the flotation feed pipe and is connected to the control module for adjusting the concentration parameters of the feed.

[0118] Specifically, the concentration subunit in the feed unit is used to detect the concentration parameters of the feed. In the present invention, a concentration sensor, such as an ultrasonic concentration meter, an isotope concentration meter, a photoelectric or double-diaphragm box (pressure difference) concentration meter, etc., is used to measure the concentration of the flotation feed in real time. The concentration sensor can accurately measure the concentration of solid particles in the slurry;

[0119] The concentration sensor transmits the detected concentration data to the control module. The control module compares the actual concentration with the set concentration and adds water or adjusts other parameters through the third regulating subunit to maintain the stability of the feed concentration.

[0120] The flow subunit is used to detect the flow parameters of the feed material. In the present invention, a flow meter, such as an electromagnetic flow meter, an ultrasonic flow meter, or a vortex flow meter, etc., can be used to measure the flow of the slurry;

[0121] The flow meter transmits real-time flow data to the control module, which adjusts the feed speed or pump speed according to the flow data to ensure stable flow.

[0122] In an optional embodiment, the control system further includes a video monitoring module, which is connected to the control module, and each flotation machine is equipped with a video monitoring camera for remotely viewing on-site production conditions.
