[0002] As the most important link in a steelmaking plant, converter steelmaking has a direct impact on the quality of molten steel and its process control and endpoint indicators, which are also the main factors affecting cost control. In the actual production process of converter steelmaking, the converter endpoint molten steel level height varies greatly due to fluctuations in various factors such as charging volume and blowing loss, which seriously affects the control of the automated steelmaking process. Because the change in molten steel level directly affects the actual control range of the oxygen lance position, and the oxygen lance position is the main factor affecting slag removal, how to accurately grasp the change in converter molten steel level, achieve precise oxygen lance position control, and improve the hit rate of automated steelmaking endpoint is a technical problem in the steelmaking industry. Patent CN114913225B provides a real-time measurement method for converter liquid level based on monocular vision, which focuses on determining the change in molten steel level by adding a camera system when the converter is tapping steel; Patent CN117740103A provides a molten pool liquid level intelligent detection method and system, which focuses on determining the molten pool liquid level by combining different characteristics of slag analysis after using probe sampling. One of the above two patents uses the addition of equipment to improve the detection of the molten pool liquid level, and the other uses a probe for measurement, but neither involves the improvement of the prediction accuracy of the secondary model; on the other hand, the innovation of equipment has brought about an increase in steelmaking costs, affecting the overall efficiency of the steel plant. Overall, the above two methods are not the best choices. Summary of the invention
