Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of online monitoring and control, and is a method for monitoring and controlling the operating state of a sapphire annealing furnace. Background Art

[0002] During the annealing process of sapphire, as the annealing furnace operates at high frequency for a long time, the core components inside the annealing furnace will degrade due to material fatigue and component performance degradation: the nonlinear characteristics of the rectifier, filter and switching devices inside the power system will increase with the service time, and the capacitance attenuation superimposed on the external electromagnetic interference coupling will cause the output current and voltage smoothing ability to decrease, causing the power supply stability to deteriorate. Its unstable output interferes with the lattice stress distribution through the electric field distortion of the electrode contact interface, causing the dislocation density of the sapphire lattice to rise uncontrollably during the annealing process; at the same time, for the sapphire annealing process with extremely high temperature accuracy requirements, the quartz oscillator of the distributed temperature controller in the annealing furnace will produce lattice defects due to high-temperature thermal stress, and long-term aging will cause the clock signal phase noise to increase. The traditional clock compensation algorithm does not integrate the dynamic change parameters of the thermal field gradient, and cannot correct the sub-second clock offset, causing the timing mismatch error of the power supply and temperature control data to spread exponentially with aging, which will cause the mapping relationship between the annealing process parameters and the lattice defect state to fail. The existing technology lacks a dynamic compensation mechanism for aging effects, which causes the accuracy of the monitoring system to continue to deteriorate as the service cycle increases. It is not only unable to achieve the coordinated optimization of lattice stress field reconstruction and temperature control decisions, but also leads to delayed warning of abnormal conditions such as poor electrode contact and furnace deformation, which seriously restricts the consistency of sapphire crystal annealing quality and the service life of the equipment.

The temperature change will cause the phonon group velocity to change, thus causing the clock offset. It should be noted that As an independent parameter, it reflects the health status of the time synchronization system. Its abnormal growth will be earlier than the HIT threshold, which can play an early warning role in the first round of evaluation. In the multi-parameter monitoring system, It provides direct evidence of anomalies in the time dimension, while HIT reflects the combined effects of multi-physics coupling.

[0017] It should be noted that the first round of assessment is aimed at providing real-time warning for sudden damage to sapphire, such as lattice fracture; The secondary assessment is used to identify the cumulative damage to sapphire caused by uneven thermal dynamic field in the annealing furnace due to aging of the annealing furnace, increased electrode resistance, and uneven current. Based on a 72-hour sliding window calculation, the coupling strength between dynamic stress and nonlinear vibration of the sapphire lattice can be quantified to provide long-term health assessment warning. It should be noted that the dual-channel monitoring mechanism of the first and second rounds of evaluation avoids misjudgment of a single indicator, such as the annealing furnace briefly exceeding the limit but the HIT is normal.
