Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fluidized beds, and particularly to a method, system, device and medium for controlling the fluidization state of a fluidized bed. Background Art

[0002] Fluidized bed spray granulation utilizes air flow to keep materials in a suspended fluidized state in a fluidized bed, and at the same time sprays atomized binder liquid to agglomerate material powders into granules. It can complete traditional mixing, drying, granulation, and coating in the same closed instrument at one time, realizing one-step granulation. One-step granulation in a fluidized bed has many advantages. Compared with other methods, it has characteristics such as simple process, short operation time, and low labor intensity, and has been widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and agronomy.

[0003] In a device, granular materials are piled on a distribution plate. When gas is introduced into the bed layer from the lower part of the device, as the gas flow rate increases to a certain extent, the solid particles generate a boiling state on the bed layer, and this state is called the fluidization state. The fluidized bed granulation process is complex. Only under the condition of maintaining the normal fluidization state can the process proceed normally. The over-fluidization state and the loss-of-flow state are both abnormal process conditions in the process, and the process needs to be adjusted to reduce or avoid unnecessary economic losses.

[0004] During the granulation process, the monitoring and regulation of the fluidization state are of great significance for maintaining the stability of the granulation process. Currently, the monitoring methods for the fluidization state include the differential pressure method, the image method, etc. However, these methods have their own deficiencies. For example, the differential pressure method is easily affected by filter bag blockage, and the acquisition and analysis of images are also relatively difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] Fluidized bed spray granulation utilizes air flow to keep materials in a suspended and fluidized state within the fluidized bed, while spraying atomized binder liquid to cause the material powder to agglomerate into granules. It can complete traditional mixing, drying, granulation, and coating in the same closed instrument at once, achieving one-step granulation. Fluidized bed one-step granulation has many advantages. Compared with other methods, it has characteristics such as simple process, short operation time, and low labor intensity, and has been widely applied in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and agronomy.

[0033] In a device, granular materials are piled on a distribution plate. When gas is introduced into the bed layer from the lower part of the device, as the gas flow rate increases to a certain extent, the solid particles generate a boiling state on the bed layer, and this state is called the fluidized state. The fluidized bed granulation process is complex. Only under the condition of maintaining a normal fluidized state can the process proceed normally. The over-fluidized state and the de-fluidized state are both abnormal process conditions during the process, and the process needs to be adjusted to reduce or avoid unnecessary economic losses.

[0034] During the granulation process, the monitoring and regulation of the fluidized state are of great significance for maintaining the stability of the granulation process. Currently, the monitoring methods of the fluidized state include the differential pressure method, the image method, etc. However, these methods have their own deficiencies. For example, the differential pressure method is easily affected by filter bag blockage, and the acquisition and analysis of images are also relatively difficult. In recent years, with the development of process analysis technology, near-infrared spectroscopy technology has been widely applied to online process analysis, and it has gradually received attention for its advantages of fast, non-destructive, and real-time. Through near-infrared spectroscopy technology, physical and chemical information of materials during the granulation process, such as moisture content, particle size distribution, etc., can be obtained, providing a new means for the precise monitoring of the fluidized state. In addition, combined with chemometric methods, near-infrared spectroscopy technology can model and analyze complex process data, thereby realizing the precise prediction and regulation of the fluidized state. This method can not only improve the stability of the granulation process and the quality consistency of products, but also reduce material waste and energy consumption, with significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0035] The embodiment of the present application provides an embodiment of a method for controlling the fluidized state of a fluidized bed. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order from here.

[0036] In this embodiment, a method for controlling the fluidized state of a fluidized bed is provided. Figure 1 For the flowchart of the method for controlling the fluidized state of the fluidized bed provided by the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, this process includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S1, collect spectral data of the fluidized bed material.

[0038] Specifically, collect diffuse reflectance near-infrared spectral data of the fluidized bed material inside the monitoring window. Among them, the near-infrared sensor is fixed outside the monitoring window of the fluidized bed, and the irradiation area is located in the dense phase region of the fluidized bed. A dual light source beam is used to focus on the inside of the monitoring window of the fluidized bed to monitor the fluidization state of the material during the fluidization process. The parallel near-infrared beam passes through the glass of the monitoring window, and the two beams are focused on the second end face of the monitoring window. The diffuse reflectance near-infrared spectra under different fluidization states of the material are different.

[0039] Step S3, divide the spectral data into multiple window regions along a moving window, and each window region includes multiple continuously collected spectra.

[0040] Among them, the spectral data includes multiple continuously collected spectra. The moving window has a fixed length and a moving step size. The moving window has a fixed length and a moving step size. The moving window moves along the time direction of spectral data collection. Based on the fixed length and moving step size of the moving window, the spectral data can be divided into multiple continuous window regions. The size of the fixed length of the moving window is related to the collection rate. Each window region includes multiple continuously collected spectra. For example, the length of the moving window is 30, that is, each window region includes 30 continuously collected spectra. For example, the moving step size is 1, that is, the moving window moves forward by one spectrum each time, and there can be an overlap between multiple window regions.

[0041] Step S5, for each spectrum in the window region, extract the total absorbance of the spectrum in a set wavelength range.

[0042] For example, the fixed length of the moving window is , that is, the window region contains spectra. Calculate the total absorbance of each spectrum in the window region within the set wavelength range. For example, there are 100 wavelength points in the set wavelength range. For each spectrum, the absorbances at each wavelength point within the set wavelength range are respectively expressed as , ... , and the total absorbance of the spectrum can be expressed as:

[0043] .

[0044] Step S7, based on the total absorbances of the extracted spectra, obtain the total absorbance skewness.

[0045] For example, the window region has spectra, and the total absorbances of each spectrum are respectively expressed as: , ,..., , then the mean value of the total absorbance and the standard deviation are expressed as:

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] Then, the skewness of the total absorbance is expressed as:

[0049]

[0050] Step S9, based on the skewness of the total absorbance, obtain the fluidization state analysis result.

[0051] Among them, the fluidization state refers to the motion state of the materials in the fluidized bed. During the fluidization process, the distribution and motion state of the materials will affect their light absorption characteristics. The skewness of the total absorbance can be used to characterize the fluidization state. For example, a higher absolute value of the skewness of the total absorbance usually indicates a more stable fluidization state, uniform material distribution, and better fluidization effect. A lower absolute value of the skewness of the total absorbance indicates an unstable fluidization state, and there may be abnormal situations such as local accumulation and over-fluidization.

[0052] Using the skewness of the total absorbance as the fluidization state judgment index has high calculation efficiency and is convenient to use.

[0053] Step S11, according to the fluidization state analysis result, adjust the liquid spraying speed to improve the fluidization quality.

[0054] Among them, the fluidization state analysis result can be used to indicate the fluidization state at the current moment. The fluidization state analysis results of different window regions correspond to the fluidization states at different moments. Based on the fluidization state analysis result, adjust the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump, thereby adjusting the liquid spraying speed, which can achieve the effect of improving the fluidization quality. By repeating steps S1 - S11, real-time analysis and control of the fluidization state can be achieved.

[0055] The fluidized bed fluidization state control method provided in this embodiment includes: collecting spectral data of the fluidized bed materials; dividing the spectral data into multiple window regions along a moving window, and each window region includes multiple continuously collected spectra; for each spectrum in the window region, extract the total absorbance of the spectrum in a set wavelength range; based on the total absorbance of each extracted spectrum, obtain the skewness of the total absorbance; based on the skewness of the total absorbance, obtain the fluidization state analysis result; according to the fluidization state analysis result, adjust the liquid spraying speed to improve the fluidization quality, which solves the technical problem of poor control of the fluidization state in the related art, can ensure that the fluidized bed always maintains the best fluidization state, reduces the frequency of collapse accidents caused by the deterioration of the fluidization state, and achieves the technical effects of automatically regulating the fluidization state, improving the granulation efficiency and process stability.

[0056] In some embodiments, the fixed length of the moving window is , where .

[0057] Preferably, the fixed length of the moving window is 30. That is, the moving window includes 30 continuously collected spectra.

[0058] In some embodiments, the starting wavelength of the set wavelength range is , and the ending wavelength is , where 850 nm ≤ ≤ 1000 nm, 1600 nm ≤ ≤ 1750 nm.

[0059] Preferably, the set wavelength range is 950 - 1650 nm. The selection of the set wavelength range is related to the parameters of the spectrometer. By extracting the total absorbance of the spectrum in the set wavelength range, it can be used to analyze the fluidization state of the material in the fluidized bed.

[0060] In some embodiments, based on the skewness of the total absorbance, a fluidization state analysis result is obtained, specifically including:

[0061]

[0062] In the above formula, is the skewness of the total absorbance, is the corresponding fluidization state analysis result.

[0063] For example, ranges from 0 to 100%. When is 0, takes a value of 0. As the absolute value increases, gradually approaches 100%.

[0064] Through the above function mapping, the skewness of the total absorbance is mapped to 0 - 100%. The fluidization state analysis result is a percentage value, realizing the quantitative description of the fluidization state in the fluidized granulation process in percentage form, enabling users to more intuitively clarify the fluidization state at the current moment through quantitative indicators.

[0065] In some embodiments, according to the fluidization state analysis result, the liquid spraying speed is adjusted, specifically including: based on the fluidization state deviation between the fluidization state analysis result and the preset fluidization standard, the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is adjusted to adjust the liquid spraying speed.

[0066] Among them, the motion state of the materials in the fluidized bed can directly characterize the fluidization state of the fluidized bed. When the fluidized bed is in a poor fluidization state, the materials are in a piled state, the void fraction of the bed layer is low, the spectral baseline is at a low level, and the fluctuation of the spectral absorbance is small. When the fluidized bed is in a normal fluidization state, the materials are in a relatively stable motion mode, the void fraction of the bed layer fluctuates within a certain range, the spectral baseline is at a normal level, and the fluctuation of the spectral absorbance is large. Therefore, according to the change of the spectral absorbance within a moving window of a fixed length, the fluidization state of the fluidized bed can be detected. Based on the fluidization state deviation between the fluidization state analysis result and the preset fluidization standard, the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is adjusted through a rule-based control strategy combined with expert knowledge to adjust the liquid spraying speed, thereby controlling the fluidization state.

[0067] In some embodiments, based on the fluidization state deviation between the fluidization state analysis result and the preset fluidization standard, adjusting the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump specifically includes dividing the fluidization state deviation into non-overlapping first threshold range, second threshold range and third threshold range from small to large in turn, where: when the fluidization state deviation is within the first threshold range, the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is adjusted to the first rotation speed; when the fluidization state deviation is within the second threshold range, the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is adjusted to the second rotation speed; when the fluidization state deviation is within the third threshold range, the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is adjusted to the third rotation speed; among them, the first rotation speed is greater than the second rotation speed, and the second rotation speed is greater than the third rotation speed.

[0068] Specifically, the fluidization state deviation can be expressed as:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, is the preset fluidization standard, is the fluidization state analysis result, is the fluidization state deviation. Preferably, the preset fluidization standard is set to 100%.

[0071] The above control rule is to determine the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump according to the fluidization state deviation to adjust the liquid spraying speed, so as to automatically control the fluidization state. For example: when the fluidization state deviation is in , the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is set to ; when the fluidization state deviation is in , the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is set to ; when the fluidization state deviation is in , the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump is set to . Among them, the skewness of the total absorbance within the moving window is mapped to a fixed interval , and the fixed interval is preferably . , , preferably 20 , preferably 10 , preferably 0 , preferably 60%, preferably 70%.

[0072] In addition, if the fluidization state deviation is in the increasing process and reaches the above rotational speed change condition, the rotational speed change of the peristaltic pump takes effect immediately. If the fluidization state deviation is in the decreasing process and reaches the above rotational speed change condition, there is a lag of duration before the rotational speed change of the peristaltic pump. Preferably, it is set to 1 .

[0073] Specifically, if the fluidization state deviation is in , that is, the fluidization state analysis result is in , it indicates that the fluidization state is good. If the fluidization state deviation is in , that is, the fluidization state analysis result is in , it indicates that the fluidization state is poor. If the fluidization state deviation is in , that is, the fluidization state analysis result is in at this time, it indicates that the fluidization state is relatively poor, there is a risk of bed collapse, and measures need to be taken immediately to prevent bed collapse.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, by using the above control rules, by setting a preset fluidization standard, the change of the fluidization state is associated with the rotational speed of the peristaltic pump of the liquid spraying device, and the fluidization state is improved by appropriately reducing the rotational speed of the peristaltic pump, avoiding the occurrence of bed collapse phenomenon, realizing the automatic control of the fluidization state, improving the success rate of the fluidized bed granulation process, effectively reducing the production cost and material waste, which will be specifically described below in combination with embodiments.

[0075] Embodiment 1

[0076] Embodiment 1 provides a method for controlling the fluidization state of a fluidized bed, which is applied to the fluidized bed granulation process of a traditional Chinese medicine, and includes the following steps:

[0077] Step S101: Collect real-time spectral data. Among them, the diffuse reflection near-infrared spectral detection range is set to 900 - 1700 nm, and 1 spectral line is collected every 0.1 s.

[0078] Step S103: Moving window selection. Select a moving window with a fixed length of 30, and each moving window includes 30 spectral lines. The spectral data is divided into multiple window regions.

[0079] Step S105: Extract the total absorbance. Calculate the sum of the absorbances of each spectrum in the window region within the wavelength range of 950 - 1650 nm to obtain the total absorbance of each spectrum.

[0080] Step S107: Calculate the skewness of the total absorbance based on the total absorbances of the spectra in the window region.

[0081] Step S109: Obtain the fluidization state analysis result based on the skewness of the total absorbance. The functional relationship between the skewness of the total absorbance and the fluidization state analysis result is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] where, is the skewness of the total absorbance, is the corresponding fluidization state analysis result. The value range of is 0 - 100%. When is 0, takes the value of 0. As the absolute value increases, gradually approaches 100%.

[0084] Step S111: Adjust the liquid spraying speed. According to the real-time fluidization state analysis result, dynamically adjust the liquid spraying speed according to the preset control rules to improve the fluidization quality. The specific control rules are as follows: If the fluidization state analysis result is in , the peristaltic pump speed is set to 20 rpm; if the fluidization state result is in , the peristaltic pump speed is set to 10 rpm; if the fluidization state result is in , the peristaltic pump speed is set to 0 rpm. When the fluidization state deviation is in the increasing process, the change of the peristaltic pump speed takes effect immediately; when the fluidization state deviation is in the decreasing process, there is a 1 s lag before the change of the peristaltic pump speed.

[0085] Repeat the above steps S101 - step S111 to realize the real-time analysis and control of the fluidization state.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is the schematic diagram of the online analysis and control result of the fluidization state of the fluidized bed provided by Embodiment 1 of the present application. As shown in Figure 2As shown, during the spray granulation process, the fluidization state analysis results deteriorated multiple times and dropped below 30%, presenting a risk of bed collapse. According to the preset control rules, when the fluidization state analysis result is lower than the threshold, the peristaltic pump speed is rapidly reduced to decrease the liquid spraying speed, improve the fluidization state, and avoid the occurrence of bed collapse. After the fluidization state rises back to the threshold, the peristaltic pump speed is restored after a 1 s delay to enhance the stability of the granulation process. The fluidized bed fluidization state control method provided in Example 1 can restore the fluidization state to a good state within 5 - 20 s after the fluidization state deteriorates, achieving real-time analysis and automatic control of the fluidization state, effectively reducing the probability of bed collapse, and having a significant beneficial effect on cost reduction and efficiency improvement in actual production.
