Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of boron carbide production equipment, and particularly to a spray drying device for boron carbide production. Background Art

[0002] As a superhard material, the preparation process of boron carbide (B4C) powder is crucial for product performance. Spray drying technology is a core link in boron carbide production. Its principle is to disperse a suspension containing boron carbide precursors into tiny droplets through an atomizer, and after contacting with hot air, quickly evaporate the solvent to form dry powder. The stability of this process directly affects the particle size distribution, purity, and agglomeration degree of the powder, and thus determines the final performance of the product.

[0003] However, the existing spray drying devices have obvious deficiencies in temperature monitoring and control. First of all, the monitoring of temperature parameters usually relies on simple temperature sensors. These sensors can often only provide limited temperature data and are easily affected by environmental noise and electromagnetic interference, resulting in inaccurate data. This inaccuracy not only affects the precise control of the spray drying process but also may have a negative impact on product quality. The boron carbide drying process has characteristics of non-linearity, large lag, and strong coupling. The heat exchange efficiency between hot air and atomized droplets is affected by multiple factors such as material concentration, atomization effect, and air flow distribution in the tower. Conventional PID control is difficult to dynamically adapt to these changes, resulting in a large temperature fluctuation range, easily causing over-drying or incomplete drying phenomena, and resulting in uneven powder particle size or impurity residue.

[0046] Regarding the foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention, they will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the embodiments in conjunction with the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 5 In the detailed description of the embodiments below, it will be clearly presented. The structural contents mentioned in the following embodiments are all referenced to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0047] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, a spray drying device for boron carbide production includes a spray drying tower, a hot blast stove, a cyclone separator and a system controller. Among them, the hot blast stove is connected to the air inlet of the spray drying tower through a hot air pipeline to ensure that hot air can be stably transported into the spray drying tower. The cyclone separator is installed at the air outlet of the spray drying tower and is used to separate the dried boron carbide powder and waste gas.

[0049] An atomizer and an on-line detection module are arranged inside the spray drying tower. The atomizer is installed at the top of the drying tower and atomizes the suspension containing boron carbide into tiny droplets, making it fully contact with the hot air for drying. The on-line detection module is used to monitor the temperature parameters during the spray drying process, including:

[0050] The first temperature sensor is arranged at the air inlet of the spray drying tower and is used to collect the inlet air temperature T in ;

[0051] The second temperature sensor is arranged at the air outlet of the spray drying tower and is used to collect the outlet air temperature T out .

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the armored thermocouple WRCK-591 is selected as the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor. This thermocouple has good high temperature resistance, anti-interference and corrosion resistance properties and is suitable for use in the harsh environment of the spray drying tower.

[0053] During the spray drying process of boron carbide production, the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor respectively collect the temperature signals at the air inlet and outlet of the spray drying tower in real time. However, due to the high-frequency noise, electromagnetic interference generated by equipment operation in the production environment, as well as the disturbance of the system itself, these signals will be severely affected, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy. The temperature signal processing unit is set up to process these interfered signals in order to obtain accurate and reliable temperature data. This unit is connected to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, and is used to preprocess the collected temperature signals and send the preprocessed temperature data to the system controller.

[0054] As Figure 2 shown, the temperature signal processing unit includes two signal conditioning components and an A / D converter. The two signal conditioning components are respectively connected to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor to process the inlet air temperature and outlet air temperature signals collected respectively, and then uniformly transmit the processed signals to the A / D converter for analog-to-digital conversion. Specifically, the input end of the signal conditioning component is connected to the signal output end of the first temperature sensor or the second temperature sensor, and the output end of the signal conditioning component is connected to the A / D converter.

[0055] Among them, the signal conditioning component includes:

[0056] The first noise suppression circuit, which is connected to the positive output terminal of the sensor and is used to suppress the high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference in the positive output signal of the sensor;

[0057] The second noise suppression circuit, which is connected to the negative output terminal of the sensor and is used to suppress the high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference in the negative output signal of the sensor;

[0058] The differential amplifier circuit, which is used to receive the differential signal output by the first noise suppression circuit and the second noise suppression circuit and amplify the differential signal;

[0059] The error cancellation circuit, which is used to eliminate the measurement error caused by system disturbance by performing error compensation on the output signal of the differential amplifier circuit.

[0060] In the above, both the first noise suppression circuit and the second noise suppression circuit include:

[0061] The first filter, which is used to preprocess the high-frequency noise in the temperature signal to filter out the high-frequency clutter components;

[0062] The second filter, which is used to precisely filter the signal processed by the first filter to filter out the electromagnetic interference components.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the first filter is an RC low-pass filter. Taking the first noise suppression circuit as an example, it is used to preprocess the high-frequency noise in the output signal of the positive electrode of the sensor. In the specific circuit structure, as Figure 3 shown, the RC low-pass filter includes a first resistor R1 and a first capacitor C1. The first ends of the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1 are connected to the sensor signal interface J1, and the second ends of the first resistor R1 and the first capacitor C1 are grounded.

[0064] In the environment of boron carbide spray drying, the temperature signal output by the sensor is often interfered by high-frequency noise, such as high-frequency interference generated by the operation of the equipment motor, clutter brought by power fluctuations, etc. According to the cut-off frequency formula f c = 1 / 2πRC of the RC low-pass filter, its cut-off frequency can be calculated. The RC low-pass filter can effectively filter out the high-frequency noise higher than the cut-off frequency according to its own cut-off frequency characteristics, and only allow the low-frequency temperature signal to pass through, thereby initially purifying the temperature signal.

[0065] The signal processed by the first noise suppression circuit enters the second noise suppression circuit. The second filter in this circuit is an amplifier with a feedback network. It can not only further filter the signal, but also has the function of amplifying the signal. The feedback network can monitor the change of the signal in real time and automatically adjust the amplification factor and filtering characteristics of the amplifier according to the characteristics of the signal.

[0066] As Figure 3 shown, taking the second filter in the first noise suppression circuit as an example, its core component is the first amplifier U1A. The non-inverting input terminal of the first amplifier U1A is connected to the output terminal of the first filter through the second resistor R2, and a feedback network is arranged between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the first amplifier U1A. The feedback network includes a first inductor L1, a second capacitor C3, a third resistor R5, a fourth resistor R6 and a first diode VD1. The first ends of the first inductor L1 and the second capacitor C3 are connected to the inverting input terminal of the first amplifier U1A and grounded through the fourth resistor R6. The second end of the second capacitor C3 is connected to the first end of the third resistor R5 and the anode of the first diode VD1. The second ends of the first inductor L1 and the third resistor R5 and the cathode of the first diode VD1 are connected to the output terminal of the first amplifier U1A.

[0067] In practical applications, when the signal fluctuates due to complex external electromagnetic interference, the feedback network automatically adjusts the gain and frequency response of the first amplifier U1 according to the characteristics of the signal. For example, when the signal is subject to external electromagnetic interference in the range of 50 kHz - 100 kHz, the LC resonant circuit composed of the first inductor L1 and the second capacitor C3 will generate a large impedance to the interference signal within this frequency range, thereby suppressing electromagnetic interference. At the same time, the first diode VD1 can prevent the signal from flowing in the reverse direction, enabling the signal to remain stable and further improving the signal quality.

[0068] After being processed by the first noise suppression circuit and the second noise suppression circuit, the temperature signal needs to be further amplified and the error eliminated to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the temperature data transmitted to the system controller. As Figure 3 shown, the differential amplifier circuit includes the second amplifier U2A. The non-inverting input terminal of the second amplifier U2A is connected to the output terminal of the first noise suppression circuit through the fifth resistor R9, and the inverting input terminal of the second amplifier U2A is connected to the output terminal of the second noise suppression circuit through the sixth resistor R10. The output terminal of the second amplifier U2A is connected to the first end of the seventh resistor R12 and the third capacitor C5. The second end of the third capacitor C5 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the second amplifier U2A through the eighth resistor R11. The second end of the seventh resistor R12 is connected to the input terminal of the error elimination circuit and is connected to the A / D converter through the ninth resistor R15.

[0069] In the above, the differential amplifier circuit amplifies the differential signal using the characteristics of the second amplifier U2A to increase the signal strength, enabling it to better resist noise interference during transmission. During the amplification process, the third capacitor C5 and the eighth resistor R11 form a feedback loop. When the input signal changes, the feedback loop adjusts the input signal according to the change in the output signal, making the operating point of the amplifier more stable and reducing the output fluctuations caused by external interference or component parameter changes.

[0070] During the entire temperature signal processing process, due to factors such as the accuracy limitations of the sensor itself, the non-ideal characteristics of circuit components, and external environmental interference, there will be a certain measurement error in the finally obtained temperature signal. Therefore, an error elimination circuit is used to correct and compensate for the measurement error. As Figure 3 shown, this circuit includes a variable resistor RP1 and a third amplifier U3A. The first end of the variable resistor is connected to the second end of the seventh resistor R12 at the adjustment end. The second end of the variable resistor RP1 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the third amplifier U3A. A parallel combination of the tenth resistor R13 and the fourth capacitor C6 is provided between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the third amplifier U3A. The non-inverting input terminal of the third amplifier U3A is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second amplifier U2A and is connected to the output terminal of the third amplifier U3A through the eleventh resistor R14.

[0071] During the operation of the error cancellation circuit, the adjustable resistor RP1 receives the temperature signal output by the differential amplifier circuit. The non-inverting input terminal of the third amplifier U3A is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second amplifier U2A to obtain a reference signal. At the same time, the inverting input terminal receives the signal adjusted by the adjustable resistor RP1. If there is a difference between the signal at the inverting input terminal of U3A and the reference signal at the non-inverting input terminal, it indicates that there is an error in the input signal. Then U3A will amplify this error signal and output an adjusted signal according to the direction and magnitude of the error, so as to cancel the measurement error and improve the accuracy of temperature measurement. At the same time, the parallel-connected tenth resistor R13 and fourth capacitor C6 can quickly respond to the fluctuations of the output signal by using the negative feedback mechanism and perform reverse adjustment, which has the effect of stabilizing the output signal of U3A.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, the A / D converter is selected as ADC0809, which is a common 8-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter with 8 analog input channels. Specifically, when setting, the output terminal of the first signal conditioning component is connected to the IN0 channel of ADC0809, and the output terminal of the second signal conditioning component is connected to the IN1 channel. When the system controller needs to perform analog-to-digital conversion, it first sends a high-level pulse signal to the START and ALE pins of ADC0809. The ALE signal latches the channel selection address, and at this time, the START signal starts the analog-to-digital conversion process.

[0073] The system controller is used to process the received temperature data, such as Figure 4 shown, including the following steps:

[0074] Step S1: Initialize the system parameters, including setting the target inlet air temperature T in_ 、target outlet air temperature T out_set , setting the initial proportional coefficient K p0 、integral coefficient K i0 and differential coefficient K d0 for the adaptive fuzzy PID controller, and setting the initial power of the hot blast stove to P1.

[0075] Step S2: Receive the inlet air temperature data and the outlet air temperature data, and perform moving average filtering on the data to remove noise interference. The moving average filtering formula is:

[0076]

[0077] where, T i is the i-th sampling value, and n is the number of sampling points.

[0078] Step S3: Calculate the inlet air temperature deviation and the outlet air temperature deviation. Among them, the inlet air temperature deviation ein = T in_ -T in ; Outlet air temperature deviation e out = T out_set -T out ; To obtain the comprehensive deviation e of the influence on the drying process t :

[0079] e t = ω1e in + ω2e out

[0080] Wherein, ω1 and ω2 are weighting coefficients, and ω1 + ω2 = 1.

[0081] Step S4: Adjust the heating power of the hot blast stove according to the comprehensive deviation.

[0082] In this embodiment, a fuzzy-PID control algorithm is used to adjust the heating power of the hot blast stove, as Figure 5 shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0083] Calculate the comprehensive deviation change rate Δe = e t -e p , where, e p is the comprehensive deviation at the previous moment; then use the comprehensive deviation e t and the comprehensive deviation change rate Δe as the inputs of the fuzzy controller;

[0084] According to the preset fuzzy rule table, obtain the fuzzy output quantity from the fuzzified comprehensive deviation and comprehensive deviation change rate;

[0085] Use the centroid method to defuzzify the fuzzy output quantity to obtain the accurate adjustment quantity;

[0086] Update the PID parameters according to the accurate adjustment quantity obtained by defuzzification;

[0087] Calculate the control quantity according to the updated PID parameters, convert the control quantity into an adjustment signal for the heating power of the hot blast stove to adjust the power of the hot blast stove.

[0088] Calculate the control quantity according to the updated PID parameters, and its calculation formula is:

[0089]

[0090] Where, Δt is the sampling time interval, e t (n) is the current comprehensive deviation, K p , K i , K d are the proportional, integral, and differential coefficients respectively, and c(n) is the current control quantity.

[0091] In a specific embodiment, the fuzzy subsets of the comprehensive deviation are set as {Negative Big (NB), Negative Medium (NM), Negative Small (NS), Zero (ZO), Positive Small (PS), Positive Medium (PM), Positive Big (PB)}, and the fuzzy subsets of the change rate of the comprehensive deviation are the same as those of the comprehensive deviation.

[0092] To achieve precise fuzzy inference, a fuzzy rule table needs to be formulated in advance. This rule table reflects the mapping relationship between the comprehensive deviation, the change rate of the comprehensive deviation, and the fuzzy output quantity, and its formulation depends on actual drying process experience and a large amount of experimental data. The following is an example of a complete fuzzy rule table:

[0093] Comprehensive deviation / Comprehensive deviation change rate NB NM NS ZO PS PM PB NB PB PB PM PM PS ZO ZO NM PB PM PM PS PS ZO NS NS PM PM PS PS ZO NS NS ZO PM PS PS ZO NS NS NM PS PS PS ZO NS NS NM NB PM PS ZO NS NS NM NB NB PB ZO ZO NS NM NM NB NB

[0094] Taking the rule "When the comprehensive deviation is Negative Big (NB) and the change rate of the comprehensive deviation is Negative Big (NB), the fuzzy output quantity is Positive Big (PB)" as an example, this means that the current inlet air and outlet air temperatures are much lower than the target values, and the temperature decreasing trend is obvious. At this time, it is necessary to significantly increase the heating power of the hot blast stove to quickly raise the temperature and meet the requirements of the drying process.

[0095] In practical applications, according to the fuzzification results of the input comprehensive deviation and the change rate of the comprehensive deviation, the corresponding fuzzy output quantity is found by looking up this rule table. Then, the precise adjustment quantity obtained through defuzzification is used to update the PID parameters, so as to be able to more accurately adapt to the dynamic changes in the boron carbide spray drying process. Calculate the control quantity according to the updated PID parameters and convert it into an adjustment signal for the heating power of the hot blast stove. This adjustment signal will act on the hot blast stove in real time, enabling the power of the hot blast stove to be dynamically adjusted according to the temperature deviation and change rate during the drying process, and finally making the comprehensive deviation e t gradually approach zero.

[0096] During the entire boron carbide spray drying process, by continuously monitoring the inlet air temperature and the outlet air temperature, calculating the comprehensive deviation and the change rate of the comprehensive deviation, and repeating the above fuzzy-PID control process. In this way, through repeated cycles, the real-time and precise control of the heating power of the hot blast stove is achieved, ensuring that boron carbide is dried in a stable and suitable temperature environment, improving the drying quality and efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and at the same time reducing the problem of unstable product quality caused by temperature fluctuations.
