[0052] Hot-based galvanized strip steel (such as hot-dip galvanized strip steel based on the improved Sendzimir method) has a series of advantages such as corrosion resistance and high strength. It is widely used in fields such as photovoltaic brackets, highway guardrails, livestock breeding feed towers, and building trusses.

[0053] While the application scope of hot-based zinc-aluminum-magnesium strip steel products is expanding, users' requirements for product quality are also increasing day by day. It is understandable that zinc-aluminum-magnesium products are more prone to quality defects than ordinary galvanized products, so higher requirements are also placed on production equipment and production processes.

[0054] An annealing furnace (such as a horizontal annealing furnace) is used to produce hot-based galvanized strip steel. During the production process, the stability of the furnace pressure in the annealing furnace is an important link in improving the product yield of hot-based galvanized strip steel. For example: during normal production, the inside of the annealing furnace is a positive-pressure anaerobic environment, the inside of the furnace is filled with hydrogen, and it is in a reducing atmosphere, so the strip steel will not be oxidized; once the furnace pressure drops below 80 Pa, according to the gas penetration principle, the outside air seeps into the furnace along the furnace wall, causing the actual oxygen content inside the furnace to increase, oxidizing the strip steel, and thus triggering dezincification defects. Therefore, it is necessary to control the furnace pressure of the annealing furnace to ensure production stability and improve the product yield.

[0055] Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the annealing furnace according to the embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0056] As Figure 1 shown, the annealing furnace includes a preheating section 1, a direct-firing section 2, a soaking section 3, a rapid cooling section 4, and a hot tension roll chamber 5 connected in sequence according to the process section. The strip steel is processed through each of the above process sections in sequence; in addition, the strip steel also includes a post-burner area, which can be arranged at the furnace outlet section, the front end of the waste gas treatment system, etc., to process the combustible gas or waste gas escaping from the annealing process, ensure that these gases are completely burned to reduce environmental pollution, and recover part of the heat; or, pre-treat the waste gas before it enters more complex purification equipment to remove most of the combustible components and reduce the subsequent treatment burden.

[0057] In some embodiments, the post-burner area is arranged at the furnace outlet, and includes a post-burner 6, a hot air heat exchanger 8, a waste heat boiler 10, a smoke exhaust fan 13, and a chimney 14 that are sequentially away from the furnace outlet. Among them, the hot air heat exchanger 8 is connected to the waste heat boiler 10 through a pipeline on the one hand, and is connected to the smoke exhaust fan 13 through a bypass branch on the other hand. A bypass proportional valve 9 is arranged on the bypass branch; the waste heat boiler 10 is connected to the smoke exhaust fan 13 through a main pipeline (the smoke inlet pipeline of the smoke exhaust fan 13), and a boiler proportional valve 11 and a furnace pressure proportional valve 12 are arranged on the main pipeline. The main pipeline and the bypass branch are connected at the connection point. The boiler proportional valve 11 is located on one side of the connection point, and the furnace pressure proportional valve 12 is located on the other side of the connection point.

[0058] Figure 2 The flowchart of the annealing furnace pressure regulation method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0059] As Figure 2 shown, according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a method for regulating the pressure of an annealing furnace is provided. The method can be executed by a controller, and the method includes:

[0060] Step S10. Obtain the current pressure of the annealing furnace, determine the target opening corresponding to the current pressure according to the preset corresponding relationship between the pressure of the annealing furnace and the pressure ratio valve, and adjust the pressure ratio valve to the target opening;

[0061] It can be understood that in order to ensure the stability of strip production, the pressure of the annealing furnace should be maintained within a certain range, for example, within the range of 120 - 280 Pa. Therefore, when the pressure of the annealing furnace drops below 120 Pa or rises above 280 Pa, it is necessary to adjust the pressure of the annealing furnace to ensure the stability of strip production.

[0062] In some embodiments, the current pressure may be the current pressure of the direct combustion section, and the preset corresponding relationship between the pressure of the annealing furnace and the pressure ratio valve may be a corresponding relationship of closed-loop control established based on a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The specific establishment process of the corresponding relationship can refer to the related art and will not be elaborated here. The current pressure of the direct combustion section is used as the input of the proportional-integral-derivative controller, and the opening of the corresponding pressure ratio valve is calculated based on the preset corresponding relationship.

[0063] It can be understood that the pressure ratio valve can accurately adjust the gas flow rate through the exhaust fan according to the set value, which means it can quickly respond to the change of the pressure in the furnace and make corresponding adjustments. The proportional valve usually has good linear characteristics and can provide any opening between fully closed and fully open to achieve fine control of the gas flow rate. Usually, the proportional valve is used in cooperation with one or more pressure sensors, which monitor the actual pressure in the furnace and feed the data back to the controller. The controller adjusts the opening of the proportional valve according to the feedback information to keep the pressure in the furnace within a set target range. For example, when the external environment changes, the furnace door is opened or closed, or other process parameters change, the pressure in the furnace may fluctuate. The proportional valve can quickly respond and compensate for these changes by increasing or decreasing the exhaust volume to maintain a stable pressure in the furnace. In addition, if the pressure in the furnace is unstable, it may cause too much air to enter the furnace, resulting in oxidation of the strip surface and thus dezincification. By precisely controlling the atmosphere in the furnace, this risk can be effectively reduced.

[0064] In some embodiments, the annealing furnace includes a direct-fired section, a soaking section, and a hot tension roll chamber. Obtaining the current furnace pressure of the annealing furnace includes:

[0065] Step S101. Respectively obtain the detected furnace pressures of the direct-fired section, the soaking section, and the hot tension roll chamber;

[0066] Step S102. Weight the detected furnace pressures based on preset weights to obtain a weighted furnace pressure, where the weight of the direct-fired section is less than the weight of the soaking section, and the weight of the soaking section is less than the weight of the hot tension roll chamber;

[0067] Step S103. Take the mean value of each of the weighted furnace pressures as the current furnace pressure.

[0068] It can be understood that in some cases, due to the furnace pressures of each section of the horizontal furnace showing P NOF >P soaking >P HB , where P NOF represents the furnace pressure of the direct-fired section, P soaking represents the furnace pressure of the soaking section, and P HB represents the furnace pressure of the hot tension roll chamber. Since the furnace pressure of the hot tension roll chamber is the smallest, it is most likely that the furnace pressure fluctuates to a smaller value, such as below 80 Pa, resulting in the risk of strip dezincification. On this basis, the present application embodiment proposes a control strategy for the average furnace pressure as follows:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, Pi represents the mean value of the weighted furnace pressure, α represents the weighted value of the direct-fired section, β represents the weighted value of the soaking section, and γ represents the weighted value of the hot tension roll chamber. It can be understood that since the hot tension roll chamber causes the greatest risk of strip dezincification, the weighted value of the hot tension roll chamber is set to be the largest, that is, α < β < γ. Exemplarily, 0.7 < α < 1.0, 0.85 < β < 1.15, 1.0 < β < 1.3.

[0071] Step S20. Obtain the total amount of waste gas in the smoke inlet pipeline, determine the target speed of the exhaust fan according to the ratio between the total amount of waste gas and a preset proportionality coefficient, and adjust the speed of the exhaust fan to the target speed. The proportionality coefficient is the proportionality coefficient between the fan air volume and the speed.

[0072] In some embodiments, the annealing furnace is used to heat the strip. Obtaining the total amount of waste gas in the smoke inlet pipeline includes:

[0073] Step S201. Obtain the gas flow rate required for heating the strip steel, the air-fuel ratio of gas to air, the proportion of nitrogen in the air, the proportion of each combustible gas in the gas, and the dilution air volume injected into the post-burner zone;

[0074] Step S202. Weight the gas flow rate based on the proportion of each combustible gas in the gas to obtain the first waste gas volume, and weight the gas flow rate based on the ratio between the air-fuel ratio and the proportion of nitrogen to obtain the second waste gas volume;

[0075] Step S203. Combine the first waste gas volume, the second waste gas volume, and the dilution air volume to obtain the total waste gas volume.

[0076] It can be understood that assuming the flow rate of the NH mixture (air) injected into the furnace is Q1, the actual gas flow rate used for heating the strip steel is Q2, the air-fuel ratio is R, and the dilution air volume injected into the post-burner area is Q3.

[0077] Exemplarily, the fuel for the annealing furnace of the hot-dip galvanizing production line uses coke oven gas, whose main components include H2 (hydrogen), CH4 (methane), CO (carbon monoxide), C2H6 (ethane), C2H4 (ethylene), etc. The combustible gas reacts chemically with air to release heat. The composition of the desulfurized coke oven gas is shown in Table 1, and the chemical equation is shown in Formula (2). Each mole of H2, CH4, CO, C2H6, C2H4 requires 2.387 moles, 9.547 moles, 2.387 moles, 16.708 moles, and 14.321 moles of air for combustion respectively, and the corresponding air-fuel ratios are 2.387, 9.547, 2.387, 16.708, and 14.321 respectively.

[0078]

[0079] Table 1 Composition and calorific value of the second-phase coke oven gas

[0080]

[0081] As shown in Table 1, assuming the CO content is k, the proportion of H2 is x, the proportion of CH4 is y, the proportion of C2H6 is z, and the proportion of C2H4 is m. Then the air-fuel ratio R = [2.387x + 9.547y + 2.387k + 16.708z + 14.321m].

[0082] Then, the first exhaust gas volume Q2(2y + 4z + 3m) is obtained by weighting the gas flow based on the proportion of each combustible gas in the gas. The second exhaust gas volume R×Q2 / n is obtained by weighting the gas flow based on the ratio between the air-fuel ratio and the nitrogen proportion n. Combining the first exhaust gas volume, the second exhaust gas volume, and the dilution air volume, the total exhaust gas volume Q = Q2(2y + 4z + 3m) + R*Q2 / n + Q3.

[0083] Thus, the rotational speed ramp of the exhaust fan = [Q2*(2y + 4z + 3m) + R*Q2 / n + Q3] / k, where k represents the proportionality coefficient.

[0084] In some embodiments, after adjusting the rotational speed of the exhaust fan to the target rotational speed, the method further includes:

[0085] Step S301. If the current furnace pressure is greater than or equal to the preset upper furnace pressure threshold, obtain the first difference between the current furnace pressure and the preset lower corrected furnace pressure value, the second difference between the preset upper corrected furnace pressure value and the lower corrected furnace pressure value, and the preset upper corrected rotational speed value;

[0086] Step S302. Weight the first difference based on the upper corrected rotational speed value to obtain a weighted difference, and use the ratio between the weighted difference and the second difference as the target corrected rotational speed;

[0087] Step S303. Based on the target corrected rotational speed, adjust the rotational speed of the exhaust fan on the basis of the target rotational speed.

[0088] It should be noted that since the PID controller adjusts the furnace pressure proportional valve with a certain response time, there is a lag in the response of the PID controller. To prevent the furnace pressure from exceeding the upper furnace pressure threshold and causing a failure of the annealing furnace, for example, when it exceeds 300 Pa, the embodiment of the present application proposes a linkage control between the PID controller and the exhaust fan to compensate the rotational speed of the exhaust fan based on the input of the PID controller.

[0089] For ease of understanding, it will be described below by formula (3).

[0090]

[0091] Wherein, △r is the target correction rotational speed when the furnace pressure increases, s represents the preset upper limit value of the correction rotational speed (for example, 5%-10% of the maximum rotational speed of the exhaust fan), Pi is the input value of the PID controller (for example, the mean value of the weighted furnace pressure mentioned above), Pmin represents the lower limit value of the corrected furnace pressure (for example, 300 pa), and Pmax represents the upper limit value of the corrected furnace pressure (for example, 500 pa, that is, the correction of the furnace pressure cannot exceed this upper limit).

[0092] In some embodiments, the annealing furnace includes a hot tension roll chamber, and the method further includes:

[0093] Step S401. If the current furnace pressure is less than or equal to the preset lower threshold of the furnace pressure, obtain the third difference between the lower threshold of the furnace pressure and the detected furnace pressure of the hot tension roll chamber, the fourth difference between the lower threshold of the furnace pressure and the preset dezincification risk furnace pressure value, and the preset upper limit value of nitrogen injection;

[0094] Step S402. Weight the ratio between the third difference and the fourth difference based on the upper limit value of nitrogen injection to obtain the value of the nitrogen flow rate to be injected;

[0095] Step S403. Inject the nitrogen flow rate into the hot tension roll chamber according to the value of the nitrogen flow rate to be injected.

[0096] As described above, the hot tension roll chamber has the greatest risk of causing dezincification of the strip steel. Therefore, when the furnace pressure in the hot tension roll chamber drops to a certain range (for example, below 110 Pa), the nitrogen flow rate is increased into the hot tension roll chamber to make up for the trend of the furnace pressure decrease. The increased nitrogen flow rate is:

[0097]

[0098] Wherein, ΔQ N2 is the value of the nitrogen flow rate to be injected, Q N2-maximumflow represents the upper limit value of nitrogen injection (that is, not too much nitrogen can be injected and cannot exceed this upper limit value), P low value represents the lower threshold of the furnace pressure, that is, the starting value of the nitrogen flow rate that needs to be injected into the hot tension roll chamber. When the furnace pressure is lower than this lower threshold of the furnace pressure, nitrogen flow rate needs to be injected into the hot tension roll chamber, P minimumvalue represents the dezincification risk furnace pressure value, that is, when the strip steel has a dezincification risk when the furnace pressure is lower than this dezincification risk furnace pressure value.

[0099] In some embodiments, a waste heat boiler and a boiler proportional valve are further provided in the post-burner area, and the boiler proportional valve is arranged on the exhaust pipeline of the waste heat boiler. The method further includes:

[0100] Adjust the valve opening of the boiler proportional valve to 60%-70%, such as 60%, 65%, 70%, etc.

[0101] It can be understood that the boiler proportional valve can significantly improve the reduction of furnace pressure. Once this valve is fully opened during production, the gas in the furnace cannot maintain pressure, resulting in large fluctuations. Reducing the opening of the boiler proportional valve to between 60%-70% can ensure that the gas is stored in the furnace and the pressure is maintained; thus further realizing the stability of the furnace pressure.

[0102] Based on the above disclosed content, the embodiments of the present application implement PID control of the furnace pressure and the furnace pressure proportional valve according to the change of the furnace pressure; according to the flow rate of the NH mixed gas, the flow rates of air and gas, calculate the mathematical model (formula 2) of the flow rate after the chemical reaction, so as to determine the rotation speed of the induced draft fan. 3) Through the weighted control of the furnace pressure in the open flame section, soaking section and roller hearth furnace pressure, the purpose of increasing the roller hearth furnace pressure is achieved; through the linkage control of the PID control of the induced draft proportional valve and the rotation speed of the induced draft fan, the stable operation of the furnace pressure is realized; for the abnormal disturbance problem of the furnace pressure, a compensation strategy is formulated: measures such as increasing N2 to compensate the furnace pressure are taken to improve the anti-interference ability of the furnace pressure. After adopting the above embodiments, the furnace pressure fluctuation of the hot tensioning roller hearth furnace has increased from the original 5pa to 123pa to 101-159pa, the range of furnace pressure fluctuation has been reduced, the problem of dezincification caused by furnace pressure fluctuation has been solved, and the improvement effect on furnace pressure control is obvious.

[0104] According to the second aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an annealing furnace pressure regulating device 200 is provided. The annealing furnace includes a post-burner area. The post-burner area is provided with a furnace pressure proportional valve and an induced draft fan. The furnace pressure proportional valve is arranged on the flue gas inlet pipeline of the induced draft fan. The device 200 includes:

[0105] The first adjustment unit 201 is configured to obtain the current furnace pressure of the annealing furnace, determine the target opening corresponding to the current furnace pressure according to the preset corresponding relationship between the furnace pressure of the annealing furnace and the furnace pressure proportional valve, and adjust the furnace pressure proportional valve to the target opening;

[0106] The second adjustment unit 202 is configured to obtain the total amount of waste gas in the flue gas inlet pipeline, determine the target rotation speed of the induced draft fan according to the ratio of the total amount of waste gas to a preset proportionality coefficient, and adjust the rotation speed of the induced draft fan to the target rotation speed.

[0107] Continue to refer to Figure 1, according to the third aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an annealing furnace is provided, and the annealing furnace includes:

[0108] A post-burner zone, where a furnace pressure proportional valve 12 and an exhaust fan 13 are provided. The furnace pressure proportional valve 12 is arranged on the smoke inlet pipe of the exhaust fan 13;

[0109] A controller (not shown), which is communicatively connected to the furnace pressure proportional valve 12 and the exhaust pressure fan, and is used to execute the method described in any one of the first aspect.

[0110] Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the rapid cooling fan according to the embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0111] In some embodiments, the annealing furnace further includes:

[0112] A rapid cooling section 4 and a hot tensioning roll chamber 5 that are interconnected. The rapid cooling section 4 is provided with a rapid cooling fan 7. The rapid cooling fan 7 is provided with an air inlet 72 and an air suction port 71. The air suction port 71 is farther away from the hot tensioning roll chamber 5 than the air inlet 72.

[0113] It should be noted that in the traditional air suction port, it is closer to the hot tensioning roll chamber than the air inlet. Since the pressure in the roll chamber area is about 90 Pa, the gas in the roll chamber is easily absorbed by the air suction port, resulting in a decrease in the pressure in the roll chamber area, for example, dropping below 80 Pa, thus there is a risk of dezincification.

[0114] In the embodiments of the present application, the air suction port is arranged farther away from the hot tensioning roll chamber than the air inlet, so that the pressure in the roll chamber significantly rises to 140 Pa, thereby improving the current situation of the furnace pressure in the rapid cooling and roll chamber areas by changing the position of the air suction port.
