Description

[0002] Coal sorting can remove impurities from coal, reduce environmental pollution, and improve combustion efficiency. Existing coal pans face a variety of problems in the coal sorting process, which affect the efficiency and accuracy of coal sorting. First, when dealing with uneven particle size or wet coal, traditional coal pans cannot effectively cope with the differences between different types of coal. It is difficult to optimize the balance between the clean coal recovery rate and the gangue removal rate, and it is often the case that improving one goal leads to a decrease in the other. Secondly, the existing equipment lacks adaptability to the characteristics of different coals and cannot adjust the operating parameters in real time to cope with changes such as coal particle size. At the same time, uneven airflow distribution is also a common problem, resulting in uneven distribution of coal and gangue, affecting the sorting effect. In addition, wet coal and sticky coal particles are easy to adhere, which reduces the sorting effect. The traditional coal pan has weak sorting and processing capabilities for this special type of coal. The equipment is also easily affected by particle wear and environmental changes during operation, resulting in unstable sorting accuracy.

[0003] In addition, traditional coal panning machines mostly rely on manual experience and lack dynamic optimization capabilities based on real-time data analysis. Therefore, they cannot efficiently adapt to changing working conditions and coal characteristics, resulting in uncertainty and fluctuations in sorting results. Therefore, traditional coal panning machines urgently need to be combined with modern optimization technology to improve their adaptability and sorting accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0022] Embodiment 1:

[0023] This embodiment provides a coal sorting method based on a coal pan meter.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , the figure shows that the method includes step S100, step S200, step S300, and step S400.

[0025] Step S100: obtaining parameter information of the coal to be sorted, wherein the parameter information includes particle size distribution information, particle size information and humidity information of the coal particles;

[0026] In this embodiment, the parameter information of the coal to be sorted is obtained through laboratory analysis and real-time online monitoring before sorting.

[0027] Among them, the particle size distribution of coal particles refers to the quantity or mass distribution of coal particles in different particle size ranges. The particle size distribution of coal particles has an important influence on the physical properties, sorting effect and subsequent processing of coal. The particle size information indicates the specific particle size of each particle or the particle size distribution characteristics of the particle, including the particle size range and particle size uniformity. The humidity of coal affects the adhesion of coal particles. Excessive humidity will cause the particles to adhere to each other, thereby affecting the coal sorting effect.

[0028] Step S200: constructing a coal sorting numerical model based on parameter information of the coal to be sorted, wherein the optimization parameters of the coal sorting numerical model include rotation speed, tilt angle, feed rate and airflow speed;

[0029] In this embodiment, the coal sorting machine usually uses centrifugal force, gravity, air flow and other effects to separate the coal into different components according to different physical properties to obtain coal and gangue. Therefore, through fluid dynamics, particle dynamics and centrifugal separation principles, a mathematical model of multi-physical field coupling is constructed, that is, a numerical model of coal sorting is established to simulate the process of coal sorting by the coal sorting machine.

[0030] The step S200 includes:

[0031] Step S201: setting the boundary conditions of the coal pan meter, wherein the boundary conditions include the geometric shape of the coal pan meter, the air flow channel, the inlet boundary, the outlet boundary and the wall boundary;

[0032] Step S202: establishing a discrete element numerical model of the coal to be sorted based on the parameter information and the boundary conditions of the coal pan instrument;

[0033] In this embodiment, the motion trajectory of coal particles is simulated by discrete element method, and when performing discrete element simulation, the coal particles are discretized and the coal particles are treated as a series of discrete small units. The discrete element method simulates the interaction between particles by calculating the contact force between coal particles and other effects. The force and motion state of coal particles can be obtained through the discrete element numerical model.

[0034] The step S202 includes:

[0035] Step A100: setting initial conditions of coal particles, wherein the initial conditions include initial position, initial velocity and initial angular velocity of the coal particles;

[0036] Step A200: establishing an initial discrete element numerical model based on the initial conditions and the parameter information, and using the boundary conditions of the coal pan meter as the boundary conditions of the initial discrete element numerical model;

[0037] Step A300: establishing a force equation and a motion equation of the coal particles based on the force conditions of the coal particles in the coal pan;

[0038] In this embodiment, the formula of the force equation of the coal particles is:

[0039] F c1 =mω 2 r

[0040] F c2 =F n +F t

[0041] F g =mg

[0042]

[0043] In the formula, F c1 Indicates the centrifugal force, F c2 is the contact force, F n represents the normal force, F t represents the tangential force, m represents the mass of the coal particle, ω represents the angular velocity of the coal pan, r represents the distance from the coal particle to the rotation axis of the coal pan, and F g represents gravity, g represents gravitational acceleration, F d represents air resistance, C d represents the drag coefficient of coal particles, ρ air represents the air density, A represents the cross-sectional area of ​​the coal particles, and v represents the relative velocity of the coal particles.

[0044] In this embodiment, the contact force is the real force generated when coal particles come into contact with other coal particles or surfaces, including elastic force, damping force, friction force, etc. The contact force is divided into two main components, namely normal force and tangential force. Among them, the normal force is the force perpendicular to the contact surface, which usually reflects the restoring force and damping force generated by the deformation of the particles. The tangential force is the force along the contact surface, which mainly includes friction force and viscous damping force.

[0045] Normal force F n and the tangential force F t The expression is:

[0046] F n =k n δ n -γ n v n

[0047] F t =k t δ t -γ t v t

[0048] In the formula, k n and k t denote the normal stiffness and tangential stiffness respectively, δ n and δ t denote the normal displacement and tangential displacement respectively, γ n and γ t are the normal damping coefficient and the tangential damping coefficient, respectively, v n and v t represent the normal relative velocity and the tangential relative velocity respectively.

[0049] The equation of motion of the coal particles is expressed as:

[0050]

[0051] Where R represents the spatial position of coal particles, represents the acceleration of coal particles, F a Indicates airflow force, F c1 Indicates the centrifugal force, F c2 is the contact force, F n represents the normal force, F t Represents tangential force.

[0052] Step A400: Input the force equation and the motion equation into the initial discrete element numerical model to simulate the motion trajectory of coal particles, and obtain a discrete element numerical model of the coal to be sorted.

[0053] Step S203: using the Navier-Stokes equation to simulate the flow characteristics of the fluid and establish a fluid dynamic model of the coal to be sorted;

[0054] In this embodiment, the fluid dynamics model can solve the velocity field and pressure field of the fluid, simulate the flow of the fluid, including turbulence, airflow and other effects, and describe the fluid flow and the air resistance of the coal particles.

[0055] The step S203 includes:

[0056] Step B100: setting the initial conditions and properties of the fluid, wherein the initial conditions of the fluid include the initial velocity field and the initial pressure field of the fluid, and the properties of the fluid include the density and viscosity of the fluid;

[0057] Step B200: establishing an initial fluid dynamic model based on the initial condition of the fluid, the fluid properties and the boundary conditions of the coal pan instrument;

[0058] Step B300: Use the Navier-Stokes equation to simulate the flow characteristics of the fluid, input the Navier-Stokes equation into the initial fluid dynamic model, and perform grid division to obtain the fluid dynamic model of the coal to be sorted.

[0059] In this embodiment, the fluid calculation domain is divided into fine grids to ensure that the coal particles can interact with the fluid grids, that is, the size of the coal particles should be much smaller than the fluid grid units.

[0060] Step S204: Based on the interaction between coal particles and fluid, the discrete element numerical model and the fluid dynamics model are coupled to obtain a coal sorting numerical model.

[0061] In this embodiment, force calculation and transmission are performed based on the interaction between coal particles and fluid, including the force of the fluid acting on the coal particles and the force of the coal particles acting on the fluid.

[0062] The forces exerted by the fluid on the coal particles include drag and lift. The drag is the air resistance, which represents the resistance of the fluid to the movement of the coal particles. The lift represents the force of the fluid caused by the flow velocity gradient. The calculation formula is:

[0063]

[0064] In the formula, F d ′ represents the drag force, C d represents the drag coefficient of coal particles, ρ represents the fluid density, A represents the cross-sectional area of ​​coal particles, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​coal particles perpendicular to the flow direction, v′ represents the velocity of coal particles relative to the fluid, |v′| represents the modulus length of v′, and F l represents lift, C l is the lift coefficient, Represents the curl of the fluid velocity field.

[0065] And the force of coal particles on the fluid is added to the Navier-Stokes equation to correct the velocity field and pressure field of the fluid.

[0066] When the discrete element numerical model and the fluid dynamics model are coupled, the fluid velocity field acts on the coal particles through the drag force, affecting the movement of the coal particles. At the same time, the presence of coal particles changes the local velocity and pressure distribution of the fluid, and feedback affects the flow of the fluid, thus obtaining the final coal sorting numerical model.

[0067] In this embodiment, in the coal sorting simulation process of the pan coal meter, the rotation speed, the tilt angle, the feed rate and the air flow velocity are four important control parameters, namely, the optimization parameters of the coal sorting numerical model.

[0068] Among them, the rotation speed refers to the rotation rate of the coal pan meter, which will affect the airflow field and the motion trajectory of the particles. In the coal sorting numerical model, it is expressed by setting boundary conditions. The rotation speed is the product of the angular velocity of the disk and the distance to the rotation center.

[0069] The tilt angle refers to the angle between the pan surface of the coal pan meter and the horizontal plane. The tilt of the pan surface will affect the gravity distribution of coal particles, the flow direction of airflow, and the sorting effect of coal particles. In the numerical model of coal sorting, the tilted pan surface will change the geometry of the airflow channel, thereby affecting the direction and speed of fluid flow, and the tilt angle will affect the pressure gradient and flow velocity distribution of the fluid. At the same time, on the tilted pan surface, the gravity distribution of the particles will change, and the movement of the particles will be affected by gravity in different directions. Therefore, the tilt angle can be reflected by changing the geometry of the pan surface and adjusting the direction of the fluid inlet velocity.

[0070] Feeding rate refers to the coal particles entering the pan coal meter, which is usually controlled by the feeding system. The size of the feeding rate directly affects the distribution of coal particles on the pan surface and the effect of airflow on the particles. In the coal sorting numerical model, it is represented by setting the inlet velocity and number of coal particles and the initial position of coal particles in the pan coal meter.

[0071] The air flow velocity affects the interaction between coal particles and air flow. Appropriate air flow velocity helps to improve the efficiency of gangue removal.

[0072] Step S300: performing multi-objective optimization on the coal sorting numerical model by using a multi-objective differential evolution algorithm and an ε-constraint method to obtain an optimal solution set, wherein the multi-objective optimization aims at maximizing the clean coal recovery rate and the gangue removal rate;

[0073] In this embodiment, the calculation formulas for the clean coal recovery rate and the gangue removal rate are:

[0074]

[0075] In the formula, C 1 Indicates the clean coal recovery rate, C 2 Indicates the removal rate of waste rock, M 1 Indicates the weight of clean coal after sorting, M 2 Indicates the weight of gangue removed after sorting, M 3 Indicates the total weight of coal before sorting, M 4 Indicates the weight of gangue in coal before sorting.

[0076] In this embodiment, the two objectives of maximizing the clean coal recovery rate and the gangue removal rate are conflicting. Generally, increasing the clean coal recovery rate may lead to a decrease in the gangue removal rate, and vice versa. Therefore, an optimal solution set is obtained through the optimization algorithm, which represents a compromise between different objectives.

[0077] In this embodiment, step S300 includes:

[0078] Step C100: Initializing a population to obtain an initial population, wherein the population includes a plurality of individuals, wherein each individual is a set of optimization parameters;

[0079] In this embodiment, a larger population is selected to increase the global search capability and avoid falling into a local optimal solution.

[0080] Step C200: input each individual into the coal sorting numerical model to simulate sorting, and obtain the distribution of coal and gangue corresponding to each individual after simulated sorting;

[0081] Step C300: Based on the distribution of coal and gangue, calculate the clean coal recovery rate and gangue removal rate of each individual in the initial population;

[0082] Step C400: Based on the clean coal recovery rate and gangue removal rate of each individual in the initial population, select the current individual to perform a differential mutation operation to generate a mutant individual;

[0083] In this embodiment, for each individual in the initial population, three random individuals are selected to perform differential mutation operations to generate new mutant individuals. The specific formula is:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, a i represents the i-th new individual generated after the differential mutation operation, F represents the mutation factor, and Represent three random individuals in the initial population respectively.

[0086] Step C500: exchange information between the current individual and the variant individual to obtain a crossover population;

[0087] Step C600: performing a selection operation on the crossover population based on the ε-constraint method to obtain a new population;

[0088] The step C600 includes:

[0089] Step C601: Use Pareto non-dominated sorting to sort and divide the individuals in the crossover population to obtain the Pareto frontier;

[0090] Step C602: maximizing the clean coal recovery rate is taken as the main goal, and a constraint condition is set by the gangue removal rate, wherein the constraint condition is that the gangue removal rate is greater than a preset threshold;

[0091] Step C603: In the Pareto frontier layers other than the first layer of the Pareto frontier, individuals satisfying the constraint conditions are selected as target individuals;

[0092] Step C604: taking the target individual and all individuals in the first layer of the Pareto frontier as the selection population;

[0093] Step C605 calculates the clean coal recovery rate of each individual in the selected population, and assigns a selection probability to each individual based on the size of the clean coal recovery rate of each individual;

[0094] Step C606 performs a selection operation on individuals in the selection population based on the selection probability to obtain a new population.

[0095] In this embodiment, the original multi-objective optimization problem is transformed into a single-objective optimization problem through the ε-constraint method.

[0096] Step C700: Determine whether the number of iterations reaches a preset threshold. If so, stop the iteration and use the new population as the optimal solution set. Otherwise, use the new population as the initial population for the next round of iteration and perform the next iteration.

[0097] Step S400: selecting the optimal solution in the optimal solution set based on a trade-off method, taking the optimal solution as an operating parameter, and controlling the coal pan meter to sort the coal to be sorted according to the operating parameter.

[0098] In this embodiment, the weights of the clean coal recovery rate and the gangue removal rate are set according to the actual sorting requirements, and the weighted sum of the clean coal recovery rate and the gangue removal rate corresponding to each solution in the optimal solution set is calculated based on the weights, and the solution with the largest weighted sum is selected as the optimal solution.

[0099] In this embodiment, the comparison results before and after the optimization of the operating parameters when sorting a certain weight of 1000 kg of coal are also given, as shown in Table 1, which is a sorting result comparison table.

[0100] Table 1

[0101] Operation parameters Before optimization After optimization Rotation speed (rpm) 30 35 Tilt angle (°) 10 12 Air velocity (m / s) 3.0 3.5 Feeding rate (kg / min) 50 55 Raw coal weight (kg) 1000 1000 Clean coal recovery rate (%) 85.2 92.4 Gangue removal rate (%) 87.4 90.7

[0102] It can be seen from Table 1 that by optimizing the operating parameters of the coal sorting machine, the clean coal recovery rate and the gangue removal rate are improved. This optimization scheme not only improves the utilization efficiency of coal resources and has high economic benefits, but also ensures high efficiency and balance in the sorting process.

[0103] In summary, the coal sorting numerical model established in the present invention accurately simulates the movement trajectory and sorting behavior of coal particles in the coal pan meter, can better predict the distribution of coal and gangue, and uses a multi-objective differential evolution algorithm and an ε-constraint method. It can find the best compromise solution between multiple objectives through global search, and is suitable for irregular, nonlinear and large-scale optimization problems, and has strong adaptability. It is suitable for complex industrial optimization problems that need to balance multiple objectives, and can provide effective operating parameter selection during coal sorting, meeting production needs while improving efficiency.
