[0002] China is rich in iron ore resources, but there are few rich ores, and many poor ores and refractory ores. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously import foreign iron ore to guarantee domestic iron ore production, which leads to a high dependence on foreign iron ore, affecting the development of China's ore dressing enterprises. For this reason, domestic enterprises have developed various ore dressing equipment, but the degree of intelligence and digitization is not high, and the field of intelligent ore dressing has not been reached. Although there are currently related patents, the methods and equipment proposed by them have the disadvantage that they cannot quickly and accurately separate ore in the case of multiple ores and small particle size, resulting in missed detection of many effective ores. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method and equipment for efficiently separating magnetic ore, in order to make up for the shortcomings of current equipment, such as small separation speed, few separated ores, and low accuracy, in order to improve the utilization rate of ore.

[0007] Step S3, the received waveform data is real-time de-noised using a filtering algorithm, and a double-threshold algorithm is used to determine whether the waveform is generated by magnetic ore;
[0008] Step S4, if the result is magnetic ore, the ore is marked and delayed for spraying, and the delay time is determined by the conveyor belt speed and the length of the sensor distance from the air jet opening;
[0009] Step S5, the magnetic ore leaves the conveyor belt and passes through the air jet opening, if the delay time ends, the air jet opening sprays the magnetic ore, thereby realizing the separation of the magnetic ore.
[0010] Further, the step S1 specifically comprises:
[0011] Step S11, the target ore is directly poured into the hopper, so that the ore can continuously fall into the tray of the vibrating feeder;
[0012] Step S12, the target ore is vibrated by a vibrating feeder, so that the ore can be evenly laid on the top of the conveyor belt to pass under the magnet for magnetization in sequence;
[0013] Step S13, immediately after magnetization, the magnetized ore is transported by the conveyor belt over the sensor and detected.
[0014] Further, the step S2 specifically comprises:
[0015] Step S21, after the Hall sensor detects the magnetic signal of the magnetized ore, the magnetic signal is transmitted to the data acquisition chip of the industrial control board;
[0016] Step S22, the data acquisition chip directly converts the magnetic signal from analog data to digital waveform data and transmits it to the control chip for further processing.
[0017] Further, the step S3 specifically comprises:
[0018] Step S31, after the data acquisition chip transmits the waveform data to the control chip, an intelligent denoising algorithm is used for noise reduction, and the denoised data is transmitted to the control program;
[0019] Step S32, the control program obtains the denoised waveform data, uses a double-threshold algorithm to determine whether the passing ore meets the blowing condition, if yes, it is a magnetic ore, if not, it is a waste ore.
[0020] Further, the step S5 specifically comprises:
[0021] Step S51, after the delay time, the control chip controls the action of the air valve;
[0022] Step S52, if the ore particle size is greater than 10mm and occupies multiple channels, and multiple channels are detected as magnetic ore, the air valve corresponding to the channel will act at the same time to realize blowing;
[0023] Step S53, the magnetic ore will change the motion trajectory under force, while the waste ore will not change the motion trajectory without force, based on which, the magnetic ore will be completely separated from the waste ore and fall into the corresponding collection box.
[0024] Further, the step S31 specifically comprises:
[0025] Step S311, an intelligent denoising algorithm is used, including but not limited to grey wolf optimization algorithm to optimize the parameters of variational mode decomposition algorithm, to obtain the optimal parameter combination under the specified conditions: decomposition layer number k and penalty factor a;
[0026] Step S312: Use the variational mode decomposition algorithm under optimal parameters to decompose the original signal into multiple intrinsic mode function (IMF) signals;

[0032] Step S322: Establish threshold lines R1 and R2, where R1 < R2, which represents the difference from the baseline;
[0033] Step S323: Take out the non-baseline value data after denoising and record it as B1, subtract it from the baseline value, and judge the size of the difference from the baseline value R1;
[0034] Step S324: If the difference is less than R1, it is determined that the data is noise; if the difference is greater than R1, it means that the data is caused by ore and is determined as a waveform. Continue to obtain the next data B2, subtract it from the baseline value to obtain the difference C1, temporarily store this data, continue to obtain the next round of data B3, subtract it from the baseline value to obtain the difference C2;
[0035] Step S325: Compare the sizes of C! and C2. If C1 > C2, it is determined that B2 is the peak point of the wave crest, C! is the peak value of the wave crest, and this peak value is set as the amplitude and temporarily stored in the next step. If C1 < C2, continue to obtain the next data B4, obtain the difference C3 between it and the baseline value, and compare the sizes of C! and C2. Repeat this step until the amplitude Cn is obtained and the amplitude is temporarily stored in the next step;
[0036] Step 326: Assume the stored amplitude is M, compare M with R2. If M >= R2, it means that the ore meets the injection conditions and is determined as a magnetic ore.
[0037] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a device for efficiently sorting magnetic ores, which uses the above-mentioned method for efficiently sorting magnetic ores to sort magnetic ores, including an ore feeding mechanism, an ore conveying mechanism, a magnetic induction sensor assembly, an integrated industrial control box, an ore sorting device, and an ore collection box arranged in sequence;
[0038] The ore feeding mechanism comprises a vibrating feeder support, a hopper and a vibrating feeder. The vibrating feeder support is placed near one end of the conveyor belt mechanism, so that the ore can fall onto the conveyor belt through vibration. The large end of the hopper is placed on the upper end of the vibrating feeder support, and the small end of the hopper is placed near the feeding tray of the vibrating feeder. The vibrating feeder is placed in the middle of the vibrating feeder support, and the discharge end of the feeding tray is placed directly above the conveyor belt mechanism.
[0039] The ore conveying mechanism comprises a conveyor belt mechanism and conveyor belt side baffles. The ore conveying mechanism is placed on the ground, and the distance between the conveying plane and the ground and the width of the conveyor belt can be adjusted according to actual conditions. Conveyor belt side baffles are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt width to prevent ore from falling to the ground and missing detection.
[0040] The magnetic induction sensor assembly comprises a magnetization magnet and a sensor assembly. The magnetization magnet is a magnet with a width equal to that of the conveyor belt and is placed above the conveyor belt. The sensor assembly is a circuit board with a dense array of multiple Hall sensors and is placed below the conveyor belt in a sensor support, with a perpendicular distance to the conveyor belt of less than 5 mm to obtain more signals. The transverse distance between the magnetization magnet and the Hall sensor is not more than 1 cm to achieve better magnetization effect. The magnetization magnet is located near one end of the vibrating feeder.
[0041] The integrated industrial control box comprises a power supply, a splitter, an industrial control board, an industrial control box, a jet valve and a valve island. The industrial control box is placed below the conveyor belt and has a jet valve hole on one side, facing the side of the conveyor belt conveying direction. The industrial control board is placed in the upper part of the industrial control box. The input end collects Hall sensor data, and the output end controls the blowing action of the valve island and the jet valve. The valve island and the jet valve are placed in the lower part of the industrial control box, and the jet valve is embedded in the valve island. An external air pump provides gas for the valve island and receives the control signal from the output end of the industrial control board to realize the jetting action of the jet valve. The output end of the jet valve is connected to the side jet valve hole through an air pipe.
[0042] The ore sorting device comprises a nozzle mechanism placed at the end of the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and the internal hole is connected to the side hole of the industrial control box through an air pipe.
[0043] The ore collection box comprises an L-shaped plate baffle, a waste ore collection box, a magnetic ore collection box and a collection box side baffle. The distance between the ore collection box and the end of the conveyor belt mechanism should not be too far, and it is placed on the ground with a height similar to that of the ore conveying mechanism. It is divided into two parts, the front part is the waste ore collection box, and the rear part is the magnetic ore collection box. The front and rear parts are separated by an L-shaped baffle, and the bottom is provided with a collection box side baffle to separate the sprayed magnetic ore and the unsprayed waste ore.
[0044] Further, the side of the conveyor belt mechanism is provided with a baffle plate, the length of which can be determined according to the stability of the belt, and one of the action points is to stabilize the ore so that it does not fall; the baffle plate and the conveyor belt can form any angle, but it must be noted that it cannot occupy the detection area of the sensor to prevent the ore detection area from being reduced.
[0045] Further, the circuit board integrated with multiple Hall sensors adopts an array arrangement, and the array distance is determined by the ore granularity; the circuit design between the multiple Hall sensors has a certain signal shielding function, making the sensor signal more stable; the number of Hall sensors is determined by the array distance and the width of the conveyor belt, and each Hall sensor represents a channel; the signal output end of the Hall sensor has integration, greatly reducing the operation difficulty, and the output is more stable.
[0046] Further, in the integrated industrial control box, the number of industrial control boards is determined by the number of sensors and the number of input ends of the industrial control board, but the data acquisition rate must not be lower than 1000HZ to prevent the ore data detection from being incomplete; the data acquisition chip and the control chip in the industrial control board are integrated, realizing high-speed acquisition, processing and control; the output end is connected with the input end of the air injection valve, and the number of air injection valves is determined by the number of Hall sensors, and the relationship between them is one-to-one, so that one Hall sensor can control one air injection valve, improving the separation efficiency; the action frequency of the air injection valve is determined by the ore granularity and the conveyor belt speed, and in order to prevent the special case of ore missing injection from occurring, the action frequency can be appropriately increased. Special cases refer to: when the distance between two pieces of ore with high magnetic susceptibility is less than 1 cm, and the conveyor belt speed is greater than 1 meter per second, the air injection valve does not achieve accurate separation of the other piece of ore due to the slow action frequency.
[0047] Further, the number of through holes in the nozzle mechanism is determined by the number of air injection valves, and the relationship between the holes and the air injection valves is one-to-one, and the relationship between the holes and the Hall sensor positions is a straight line along the direction of the conveyor belt, so that one Hall sensor can control its corresponding air injection valve, and the hole can blow on the ore to achieve separation; the angle at which the gas is injected from the hole is determined by the conveyor belt speed and the distance between the hole and the upper surface of the conveyor belt, so that when the gas is injected onto the ore, the ore receives the maximum force and changes the trajectory the most, greatly improving the separation efficiency.
[0048] Further, the angle and height of the L-shaped baffle in the ore collection box relative to the ground are determined by the movement trajectory of the ore when it leaves the conveyor belt, which can perfectly separate the blown ore from the unblown ore, achieving efficient separation.
[0049] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application has the following advantages:
[0050] 1, the filtering algorithm greatly reduces the influence of noise on the magnetic ore waveform data in real time, and basically realizes no influence, and the double threshold algorithm is combined to realize more rapid and accurate separation of the magnetic ore;
[0051] 2, magnetization enhances the signal of the magnetic ore with a higher specific magnetization coefficient, expands the separation grade range of the magnetic ore, and stabilizes the detected regional magnetic field;
[0052] 3, the range of the separation grade of the magnetic ore is expanded, and the particle size of the detected ore is reduced, so that the detection and separation efficiency of the magnetic ore is greatly improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0074] Step S13, after magnetization, the ores are immediately transported above the sensor by the conveying belt and detected.
[0075] Referring to Figure 1Specifically, when the ore falls on the conveying belt, the conveying belt transports the ore to below the magnet to magnetize the ore and improve the magnetism of the ore, but the magnetization effect lasts for a short time, and immediate detection is required to highlight the magnetization effect, so the Hall sensor is arranged immediately right to the magnet to detect the magnetic signal.

[0116] Further, in the integrated industrial control box, the number of industrial control boards 133 is determined by the number of sensors and the number of input ends of the industrial control board 133, but the data acquisition rate should not be lower than 1000HZ to prevent the ore data detection from being incomplete; the data acquisition chip and the control chip in the industrial control board 133 are integrated, realizing high-speed acquisition, processing and control; the output end is connected with the input end of the air jet valve 135, and the number of air jet valves 135 is determined by the number of Hall sensors 1221, and the relationship between them is one-to-one correspondence, so that one Hall sensor 1221 can control one air jet valve 135, improving the sorting efficiency; the action frequency of the air jet valve 135 is determined by the particle size of the ore and the speed of the conveyor belt, in order to prevent the special case of missing spraying of the ore, the action frequency can be appropriately increased, the special case refers to: when the distance between two pieces of ore with high magnetization coefficient is not more than 1cm, and the speed of the conveyor belt is greater than 1m / s, the air jet valve does not realize accurate sorting due to the slow action frequency of the other piece of ore.
[0117] Further, the number of through holes in the nozzle mechanism 141 is determined by the number of air injection valves 135, and the hole and the air injection valve 135 have a one-to-one correspondence relationship, and the hole and the Hall sensor 1221 have a straight line relationship along the conveying belt direction, so that one Hall sensor 1221 can control the corresponding air injection valve 135 and the hole to spray and blow the ore, so as to realize separation; the angle of the gas sprayed from the hole is determined by the conveying belt speed and the distance between the hole and the upper surface of the conveying belt, so that when the gas is sprayed to the ore, the ore receives the maximum force and changes the trajectory most, thereby greatly improving the separation efficiency.
[0118] Further, the angle and height of the L-shaped baffle 151 in the ore collecting box relative to the ground are determined by the movement trajectory of the ore when it leaves the conveying belt, so that the sprayed ore and the unsprayed ore can be perfectly separated, and high-efficiency separation is realized.
[0119] It should be noted that in the present application, each wave shape is positioned by the industrial control board 133, and the delay time required for each ore to move from the detection point of the Hall sensor 1221 to the position of the nozzle in the nozzle mechanism 141 is calculated, and the corresponding air injection valve 135 is controlled in delay, so that the corresponding channel of the nozzle mechanism 141 blows air, and the detected magnetic ore is separated into the corresponding magnetic ore collecting box 153 in the ore collecting box.
[0120] It should be further clarified that the specific operation steps of using the above-mentioned high-speed and high-precision intelligent separation equipment for magnetic ore are as follows:

[0126] Step 6: The industrial control board in the industrial control box system receives the data immediately and performs noise reduction and waveform detection, marks the detected waveform, locates the corresponding channel, calculates the delay blowing time, and then controls the delay action of the air injection valve corresponding to the channel;
[0127] Seventh step, when the detected magnetic ore moves to the nozzle mechanism, the delay action time is counted down, and the corresponding jet valve is actuated, the corresponding nozzle blows high-pressure gas, and the magnetic ore is forced to fall into the magnetic ore collection box;
[0128] Eighth step, cycle the fourth step to the seventh step.

[0130] 1, Real-time noise can greatly reduce the influence of magnetic ore signal, basically realize no influence, and combine double threshold algorithm, so that the Hall sensor can detect the magnetic ore more accurately and quickly, and realize separation;
[0131] 2, Magnetization makes the magnetic ore signal detected by the Hall sensor stronger, so that the sensor can detect weak ore signal, thereby expanding the separation grade of the magnetic ore, and stabilizing the magnetic field.
[0132] 3, The Hall sensor is arranged closely, small particle size ore can also be detected, and the industrial control board has high data acquisition and processing rate and high jet valve blowing frequency, so that the ore separation rate is also greatly improved, and rapid separation is realized.
