TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metallurgical industry robots, and particularly to a furnace front operation robot system and a modular design method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing requirements of production efficiency and equipment flexibility in the metallurgical industry, furnace front operation robots play an important role in the fields of steel smelting, silicon-manganese alloy, industrial silicon, and calcium carbide. Traditional furnace front operation robots are mostly fixed and integrated, which have strong structural rigidity but insufficient flexibility, making it difficult to adapt to the process differences of different furnace types or multi-station production requirements. For example, silicon-manganese silicon-iron furnace front operation robots need to perform opening assembly, eye drawing, and eye plugging work, while industrial silicon furnace front operation robots and calcium carbide furnace front operation robots only need to complete part of the work. When the furnace type is switched or the process is adjusted, the traditional robots need to be mechanically modified or redesigned on a large scale, resulting in a sharp increase in production cost, an extension of downtime, and a serious impact on production efficiency.
[0003] In the prior art, although there have been some attempts to improve the flexibility and maintainability of furnace front operation robots through modular design, the existing modular division methods lack systematic scientific basis and mostly rely on manual experience or single-dimensional indicators to highly integrate each functional module. Once a local fault occurs, the entire machine often needs to be disassembled for maintenance, resulting in a complex and time-consuming maintenance process and further exacerbating production losses. Although modular design has the potential to improve flexibility, customizability, and maintainability in the field of robots, due to the challenges of complex structure, high load, high temperature, and other special working environments of furnace front operation robots, the implementation of modular design still faces technical obstacles.
[0004] Therefore, the fixed and integrated structure of traditional furnace front operation robots has the problems of insufficient flexibility, high modification cost, and difficult maintenance when dealing with multiple furnace types (such as calcium carbide furnaces, blast furnaces, and submerged arc furnaces) and multi-station production requirements. How to achieve a high-flexibility, low-cost, and easy-to-maintain furnace front operation robot system through modular design has become a key problem that needs to be solved. SUMMARY

[0035] Referring to the drawings attached Figure 1 , a structural schematic diagram of a furnace front operation robot system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0036] An embodiment of the present application provides a furnace front operation robot system, comprising: an execution module 1, a support module 2, a motion control module 3, a guide module 4, a protection module 5 and a connection module 6.
[0037] The execution module 1 comprises a sliding assembly 11, a damping assembly 12 and a working assembly 13, and the working assembly 13 at least comprises one of an eye opening mechanism, an eye pulling mechanism or an eye plugging mechanism.

[0040] Optionally, the working assembly 13 comprises a replaceable functional mechanism library, and the functional mechanism library comprises the eye opening mechanism, the eye pulling mechanism and the eye plugging mechanism.

The base plate assembly of this type is provided with three working assemblies and three sliding assemblies, and the damping assembly can also be flexibly configured according to actual work requirements.

[0057] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0058] In the present application, a high-flexibility, low-cost and easy-maintenance furnace operation robot system is realized through modular design, the design process of the robot is simplified and shortened, and through the modular design method, the robot can quickly adapt to different furnace operation working environments and multiple scenes through module replacement, flexible support for multi-station configuration is realized, and based on the modular division method of function-structure-assembly, combined with virtual simulation verification, the design efficiency is improved, and the reliability of the structure is enhanced.
[0059] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 5 , a flowchart of a modular design method of a furnace operation robot system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0060] The embodiment of the present application provides a modular design method of a furnace operation robot system, which is applied to the above-mentioned furnace operation robot system, and the method can be realized by a modular design device.
[0061] S1: Determine the specific requirements of the furnace operation robot under different furnace operation application scenarios, determine the operation process of the furnace operation robot, define the task target to be completed by the robot, and the task target includes completing the opening of the furnace eye, the pulling of the furnace eye and the plugging of the furnace eye.
[0062] For example, for the calcium carbide furnace scene, the furnace robot first collects scene parameters: the diameter of the calcium carbide furnace mouth (example: Φ600mm), the discharge temperature (example: 1600℃-1800℃), the operation cycle (example: every 2 hours), and the impact load (example: peak 8 tons); and the robot needs to complete three core tasks of opening the furnace eye, pulling the furnace eye, and plugging the furnace eye.
[0063] S2: According to the task target, the whole task is decomposed into several subtasks, the function required by each subtask is derived, the mapping relationship between the function and the execution mechanism is established, the function information table is obtained, and the standard fastener is removed.
[0064] Referring to Table 1 of the specification, a function information table is shown.
[0065] Table 1 Function Information Table
[0066]
[0067] S3: Taking the function correlation, the structure correlation and the assembly correlation as the clustering dimensions, an inter-mechanism relationship matrix composed of mechanism correlation degrees is obtained, the execution mechanisms are clustered through a dynamic clustering algorithm, and a modular division scheme is generated.
[0068] Optionally, the weights of the function correlation, the structure correlation and the assembly correlation are obtained through the analytic hierarchy process.
[0069] Starting from the three dimensions of function correlation, structure correlation and assembly correlation, the importance index is valued, and the judgment matrix is obtained as follows:
[0070]
[0071] Wherein, A represents the judgment matrix.
[0072] The rationality of the judgment matrix needs to be verified. The normalized column vector of the judgment matrix is obtained, the matrix eigenvalue is calculated to obtain the normalized vector of each column, and the average value is calculated according to the row to obtain the weight vector ω=(0.558, 0.320, 0.122) T . According to (m=3, order of the matrix) calculation matrix maximum eigenvalue λ=3.018, then calculate the consistency index Finally, the consistency ratio is calculated Wherein, RI is the random consistency index, when m=3, RI=0.58 (see Table 2). When CR<0.1, the consistency of the judgment matrix can be accepted, that is, the judgment matrix is reasonable.
[0073] Table 2 Random Consistency Index RI and Matrix Order Correspondence
[0074]
[0075] In the present application, the weights of the function correlation, the structure correlation and the assembly correlation are determined by the analytic hierarchy process, so that the importance of each dimension can be quantified scientifically in multi-factor decision-making, and the importance scale value of the judgment matrix is assigned according to the rules in Table 3. This avoids the subjective bias caused by complete reliance on experience. This method introduces consistency check to ensure the logical consistency and reliability of the judgment matrix, so that the module division process is more objective and systematic, which helps to improve the rationality, stability and universality of module design, and provides a solid data foundation for subsequent clustering analysis and module combination.
[0076] Table 3 Importance scale value
[0077]
[0078] A relationship matrix between the actuators is constructed. Each element in the matrix is assigned a value of 1 if the preset condition is met, and a value of 0 otherwise, for quantitative description, so as to objectively reflect the correlation degree between the actuators.
[0079] Optionally, the correlation degree of the mechanism is specifically:
[0080]
[0081] wherein, R ij represents the correlation degree of the mechanism between the i th function unit and the j th function unit, represents whether the i th function unit and the j th function unit meet the k th correlation condition, when the i th function unit and the j th function unit meet the k th correlation condition, when the i th function unit and the j th function unit do not meet the k th correlation condition, w k represents the weight of the k th correlation condition, and satisfies The correlation conditions include: function correlation condition, structure correlation condition and assembly correlation condition.
[0082] For example, the correlation degree of the hydraulic valve group and the drive motor of the traveling crane is calculated,
[0083] Function correlation: the hydraulic valve group controls the drive motor of the traveling crane to provide power → meets the condition → assigns a value of 1.
[0084] Structure correlation: there is no structural relationship between the two parts → does not meet the condition → assigns a value of 0.
[0085] Assembly correlation: there is a same direction relationship between the two parts → meets the condition → assigns a value of 1.
[0086] The correlation degree R ij= 1 x 0.558 + 0 x 0.320 + 1 x 0.122 = 0.680.
[0087] In the present application, by constructing the relationship matrix between actuators and introducing the weighted actuator correlation, the correlation of function, structure and assembly can be quantitatively integrated, so as to comprehensively and objectively reflect the coupling relationship between actuators. Compared with single dimension analysis, this method can more accurately capture the internal relationship between modules, avoid missing key interaction factors, help the subsequent clustering algorithm to realize more scientific and reasonable module division, improve the independence between modules and the collaboration within modules, and provide a solid basis for efficient and flexible robot system design.
[0088] Referring to Table 4 of the specification, an actuator correlation table is shown.
[0089] Table 4 Actuator Correlation Table
[0090]
[0091] Further, based on the constructed relationship matrix, a dynamic clustering algorithm is used to analyze each actuator to determine the module division scheme.
[0092] Optionally, the termination condition of the dynamic clustering algorithm is that the function correlation within the module is greater than or equal to 0.6, and the structure coupling degree between the modules is less than or equal to 0.3.
[0093] For example, the hierarchical clustering method is used to divide the nodes into communities. In the initial stage, each node is regarded as an independent cluster, and then the cluster pairs with the minimum distance are gradually merged according to the distance between the clusters until the set number of clusters is reached. In the initial setting, the 36 core actuators are regarded as independent modules. By using the clustering algorithm to merge the actuators with Rij≥0.6 (such as the traveling support mechanism and the rotary support bottom plate), the coupling degree between the modules is detected, and if the coupling degree is greater than 0.3, the actuators are split (such as the hydraulic valve group and the execution module with a coupling degree of 0.35, which need to be separated into independent modules); and the termination condition is outputted. In the calcium carbide outlet scene, 6 functional modules are formed, including an execution module, a support module, a motion control module, a guide module, a protection module and a connection module, and a basic type system of a furnace front operation robot is established.
[0094] The dynamic clustering analysis method ensures that the functions within the module are highly integrated, while reducing the structure coupling degree between different modules. By using the clustering algorithm to divide the above correlation matrix, the results are shown in Figure 6 and 7 The accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 6 show a part correlation matrix thermogram provided by an embodiment of the present application. The accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 7 show a modular division community network schematic diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0095] S4: Constructing a three-dimensional parameterized model based on a modular division scheme, performing physical field simulation in a virtual environment, verifying, and configuring different functional module combinations according to the scene requirements of calcium carbide furnaces, blast furnaces, and submerged arc furnaces.
[0096] It should be noted that during the simulation process, the maximum stress of the overall structure is verified to meet the requirement of not exceeding the material yield strength by setting load conditions, to ensure safety and reliability under high temperature and high load conditions. At the same time, according to the scene requirements of different furnace types such as calcium carbide furnaces, blast furnaces, and submerged arc furnaces, flexible combination and configuration of each functional module execution, support, motion control, guidance, and protection modules are realized.
[0097] Optionally, S4 specifically includes: establishing a simulation model on a simulation platform, setting load boundary conditions, and verifying that the overall structure meets the strength requirements.
[0098] In the calcium carbide furnace front operation scene, a three-dimensional simulation model of the furnace front operation robot system is established in the simulation software ANSYS Workbench, including key execution mechanisms, support structures, and connecting components, etc. The material is Q345B structural steel, with a yield strength of 345 MPa, an elastic modulus of 2.06*105 MPa, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.3. The impact conditions that the furnace front operation robot is subjected to in the actual operation process are simulated, a static load of 80000N is applied to the execution end of the robot, all degrees of freedom of the robot base are constrained, and the stress analysis is accurate. After the simulation calculation is completed, the maximum equivalent stress distribution cloud diagram is extracted, and the stress response of the key parts of the robot is analyzed. The robot execution mechanism, connecting component, and support structure do not appear in the area exceeding the material yield strength, meeting the structural safety requirements. The stress distribution is uniform, and there is no obvious stress concentration area, indicating that the module division is reasonable, and the overall structure design meets the impact condition requirements.
[0099] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0100] In the present application, a furnace front operation robot system with high flexibility, low cost, and easy maintenance is realized through modular design, simplifying and shortening the design process of the robot.
