Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic copper production, and specifically provides a quality closed-loop control method, system, equipment, medium and program product for copper electrolysis production. Background Art
[0002] Electrolytic copper is prepared by pre-making thick plates of crude copper as anodes, using the ISA method (permanent stainless steel cathode method) with stainless steel plates as cathodes, and a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate as the electrolyte. After power-on, copper dissolves from the anode into copper ions and moves towards the cathode. After reaching the cathode, it obtains electrons and pure copper is deposited on the cathode surface. The deposited pure copper can be peeled off from the stainless steel cathode plate through a peeling device, thus realizing continuous production.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent publication number is: CN114774990B, which provides a method for optimizing process parameters of copper electrolysis for energy conservation. This patent constructs a regression model of the production process parameters of copper electrolysis and electrolysis energy consumption through a random forest algorithm, and calculates the electrolysis energy consumption at different current densities, copper ion concentrations, sulfuric acid concentrations and electrolysis temperatures. Based on this model, an energy consumption optimization model for the copper electrolysis process is constructed, and a competitive swarm optimization algorithm introducing neighborhood control and adaptive mutation strategies is used for optimization and solution to obtain the optimal production process parameters. However, this method mainly focuses on the optimization of power consumption, and quality control in the copper electrolysis process is equally important. This invention does not involve the quality control of electrolytic copper.
[0004] The existing Chinese patent publication number is: CN103510106A, which provides a copper electrolysis additive and its usage method. This additive is used for copper electrolysis refining, making the cathode copper crystals dense, reducing dendritic crystals, canceling thiourea in the traditional additive, reducing the sulfur content in the cathode copper, enhancing the flocculation and sedimentation of anode mud, and ensuring product quality. However, this invention mainly relies on experimental methods to test the dosage of the additive, and has not established a data model to further optimize and predict the optimal dosage of the additive.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0043] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the closed-loop quality control method for production of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0045] Embodiment 1:
[0046] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for closed-loop quality control in copper electrolysis production, including the following steps:
[0047] Step 1: According to the growth of cathode copper during the electrolysis process, analyze the surface quality data of cathode copper collected by the industrial camera scanning the cathode plate surface, and classify the abnormalities of the nodule shape, area, height, color, and glossiness indicators on the cathode copper surface. Based on the experience of the operators, these abnormalities are divided into different categories and marked using one-hot encoding. For example, abnormality 1 is encoded as 0001, abnormality 2 is encoded as 0010, and so on.
[0048] Step 2: Normalize and clean the production condition data, production process data, and production regulation data. The normalization formula is:
[0049]
[0050] Through this formula, the data is normalized between 0 and 1, and at the same time, missing values and outliers are removed to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data.
[0051] Step 3: Based on the original data, conduct univariate analysis and fit the probability density distribution function of various defects. The probability density function formula is:
[0052]
[0053] where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. Through this function, analyze the distribution of each defect index; at the same time, if parameters that significantly affect the generation of defects can be identified from the probability distribution diagram, add them to the parameter candidate set.
[0054] Step 4: Adopt the graphical lasso mining method to conduct multivariate joint analysis and analyze the influence of key process parameters on the conditional probability of abnormal types. The graphical lasso optimization problem formula is:
[0055]
[0056] where S is the sample covariance matrix, Θ is the precision matrix, and λ is the regularization parameter. Through this method, identify the potential associations between various factors.
[0057] Step 5: For the associated factors of each abnormality mined by graphical lasso, take the union of the process parameters, add them to the parameter candidate set, and form a comprehensive list of associated factors for subsequent analysis and model construction.
[0058] Step 6: Based on the process parameters selected by graphical lasso, conduct multivariate Bayesian analysis to generate a conditional probability graph, intuitively display the relationships between various factors, and provide a basis for decision-making. The multivariate Bayesian analysis formula is:
[0059]
[0060] Among them, P(Y|X) is the conditional probability, P(X|Y) is the likelihood probability, P(Y) is the prior probability, and P(X) is the marginal probability. The conditional probabilities between various factors are calculated through this formula to generate a conditional probability graph.
[0061] Step 7: Based on the process parameters selected by graphical lasso, perform CART decision tree modeling to construct a decision tree model for anomaly classification and prediction, improving the interpretability and prediction accuracy of the model. The CART decision tree algorithm uses the Gini index to select the splitting attribute. The purity of the dataset D can be represented by the Gini value as:
[0062]
[0063] Gini(D) reflects the probability that two randomly selected samples from the dataset D have inconsistent class labels. Therefore, the smaller Gini(D) is, the higher the purity of the dataset D. The Gini index of the attribute a is defined as:
[0064]
[0065] Step 8: Conduct quality traceability of electrolysis anomalies. Based on the Neo4j graph database, construct a process parameter relationship network. Using the Neo4j graph database, take process parameters, quality events, and anomaly classification results as nodes, and the correlation between parameters as edges to construct a process parameter relationship network. Based on the path ranking algorithm, evaluate the importance of different quality event paths in the decision tree, determine the key paths and related nodes in the quality traceability process, and the calculation method is as follows:
[0066] Suppose the associated importance of the event in the defect path causing the defect to occur:
[0067]
[0068] For the defective electrolytic cathode copper I that needs to be traced, the event set N that satisfies the path events in the parameter data can be obtained. Therefore, the probability that the defective steel I is traced to this defect path is:
[0069]
[0070] [·] represents the Iverson bracket, which is 1 if the condition inside the square brackets is satisfied and 0 if not.
[0071] Step 9: Sort the paths according to the scores of the paths to determine the importance and relevance of the paths. The paths with higher probability scores are considered to be more relevant to the quality defects.
[0072] Step 10: Based on the results of path ranking, select the top three paths with the highest probabilities as the quality traceability results for retention.
[0073] Step 11: According to the quality traceability results, generate auxiliary suggestions for process parameter adjustment, providing specific parameter adjustment guidance for operators to ensure the stability of the production process and the improvement of product quality.
[0074] Step 12: Combining the experience of operators, the dynamic suggestion generation unit uses a rule engine combined with case-based reasoning to adjust the electrolysis process parameters, ensuring the practicality and effectiveness of the adjustment suggestions, and realizing the optimization of the production process and the continuous improvement of quality.

[0080] The quality traceability and decision-making module is used to locate the root cause of the abnormality and provide regulation suggestions; the quality traceability and decision-making module includes a graph calculation traceability unit and a dynamic suggestion generation unit. The graph calculation traceability unit constructs a process parameter relationship network based on the Neo4j graph database and uses the path ranking algorithm to evaluate the path weights; the dynamic suggestion generation unit combines case reasoning through a rule engine to match the historical optimal parameter combination (for example, when needle-like particles appear on the surface of cathode copper, it is recommended to reduce a specific amount of hydrochloric acid additive to reduce the chloride ion concentration).
