Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of control systems, in particular to a mixing feeding electric control system with liquid level sensing. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of industrial waste treatment, the traditional mixing feeding system usually only realizes feeding control through a liquid level sensor, lacking real-time detection capability of material characteristics (such as viscosity, moisture content, and granularity). Although the existing technology can adjust the stirring speed through the liquid level sensor, it cannot dynamically match the optimal parameters for high-viscosity industrial sludge and low-viscosity river sludge, often leading to problems such as "waste of high-viscosity material stirring energy" and "insufficient stirring of low-viscosity material". In addition, the dosage of reagents in the existing technology is mostly set by manual experience, without establishing a quantitative mapping relationship between material characteristics and dosage parameters, making it difficult to adapt to the solidification needs under different working conditions.
[0003] The stirring control of the traditional mixing system mostly adopts an open-loop control mode of "single speed + fixed liquid level threshold", lacking a dynamic adjustment mechanism according to the liquid level rising rate and material accumulation state. Typical defects include: liquid level fluctuation easily leads to frequent start and stop of the stirring motor, shortening the service life of the equipment; fixed phase stirring time cannot adapt to the change of material feeding rate, which may cause material blockage or insufficient stirring; without predictive control, it can only be adjusted passively after material accumulation, with a lagging response. Moreover, the fault diagnosis of the existing mixing system mostly relies on single sensor detection, lacking redundancy configuration and self-calibration mechanism, which easily leads to control failure when the sensor drifts or adheres. For example, the disclosure document only mentions the sensor fault self-diagnosis function, but does not form a three-level diagnosis and redundancy switching logic. In terms of remote monitoring, the traditional system is mostly locally controlled, which cannot realize 5G cloud data synchronization and real-time fault positioning, and is not suitable for industrial Internet of Things needs; in terms of energy-saving control, it generally lacks sleep mode and preheating strategy optimization, with large instantaneous power consumption at startup and residual material easily solidified and left.

[0055] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the application.
[0056] The application provides a method for controlling a stirring system, comprising the steps of Figure 1The illustrated mixing feed electric control system with liquid level sensing includes: a material characteristic pre-detection module, which performs real-time scanning of the particle size, moisture content, density, and viscosity of industrial waste entering the feed hopper through a multi-spectral sensor installed at the inlet of the feed hopper, generating a material characteristic parameter data package; an adaptive parameter configuration module, which automatically matches the stirring model based on the material characteristic parameter data package using the built-in fuzzy logic algorithm in the PLC, with viscosity as the primary basis for judgment, and simultaneously sets the initial speed of the variable frequency motor, the dosage ratio of the reagent, and the combined strategy of the stirring time; a multi-stage gradient stirring module, which is used to start low-speed stirring when the liquid level sensor detects that the material reaches the first liquid level threshold, switch to medium-speed stirring when it reaches the second liquid level threshold, and start high-speed stirring when it reaches the third liquid level threshold, with each stage maintaining a gradient stirring of 5-10 minutes; a real-time data twin processing module, which is used to connect the real-time data of liquid level, motor current, and stirring torque to the edge computing unit to build a digital twin model of the mixing process, and to predict the material accumulation state and adjust the stirring strategy in advance by 0.5-1 minute through model predictive control algorithm; a remote collaborative monitoring module, which synchronizes the mixing data to the cloud management platform through a 5G communication module, and automatically triggers the audible and visual alarm of the remote terminal when the liquid level abnormally fluctuates beyond the ±5% threshold, and pushes a fault location report containing real-time video stream; a fault linkage processing module, which automatically switches to a backup capacitive sensor and starts a self-calibration program when the liquid level sensor detects a deviation of more than ±3% for three consecutive times, and reduces the motor speed to a safe range, and resumes normal operation after the fault is repaired, and triggers an emergency stop when the torque exceeds the rated value of 120%; an energy-saving closed-loop control module, which automatically enters a low-power standby sleep mode when the mixing is complete and the liquid level remains below the 10% volume threshold for 30 seconds, and optimizes the motor preheating strategy for the next start based on historical 24-hour operation data to avoid instantaneous fluctuation false triggering, and realizes intelligent matching of stirring speed, reagent dosage ratio, and stirring time through real-time scanning of the particle size, moisture content, density, and viscosity of industrial waste by the material characteristic pre-detection module, combined with the fuzzy logic algorithm of the adaptive parameter configuration module. This integrated solution breaks through the limitations of traditional single liquid level control, and builds a full-chain intelligent control system of "material sensing-parameter configuration-stirring execution-digital optimization-remote monitoring-fault handling-energy-saving closed loop", which improves the adaptability of the system to industrial waste and realizes the leap from "experience control" to "data-driven control".
[0057] Among them, in the adaptive parameter configuration module, the synchronously set reagent dosing ratio control logic is: establish a three-dimensional mapping table of moisture content-viscosity-reagent dosing amount, store it in the PLC register, and the reagent dosing port adopts electromagnetic flowmeter closed-loop control with a control accuracy of ±1.5% rated flow. The three-dimensional mapping table is constructed in the following way: when the viscosity is ≤5000cP, the Newtonian fluid reagent dosing model is matched, and the reagent dosing amount is set as follows: when the moisture content is ≤30%, the dosage is 15-20kg / m 3 When the moisture content is 30%<≤50%, the dosage is 20-25kg / m 3 When the moisture content is greater than 50%, the dosage is increased by 10% according to the basic value; when the viscosity is greater than 5000cP and the moisture content is less than 40%, the Bingham plastomer compensation model is matched, and the dosage strategy is: when the viscosity is less than 5000cP and the viscosity is less than or equal to 8000cP, the dosage is set to 25-30kg / m 3 , and start the pulse dosing mode (10 seconds / time interval); when 8000cP<viscosity≤10000cP, the dosage is increased to 30-35kg / m 3 , and activate the agent pre-mixing program at the same time; when the viscosity is greater than 10000cP, activate the high viscosity agent strengthening strategy, specifically: when the water content is ≥40%, the dosage is 1.5 times the upper limit of the Newtonian fluid model (i.e. 30-35kg / m 3 ); The dual-dosage port collaborative working mode is simultaneously activated, with the main dosing port adding 70% of the calculated value, and the auxiliary dosing port adding 30% compensation. When the material moisture content exceeds 80%, the dosing ratio automatically increases by 10%-15%. Based on a three-dimensional mapping table of moisture content, viscosity, and dosing amount, and closed-loop control using an electromagnetic flowmeter, a quantitative relationship model between material properties and dosing is established. When the viscosity is ≤5000cP, the dosing amount is precisely matched according to the Newtonian fluid model. When the viscosity is greater than 5000cP, the Bingham plastic body compensation model or high viscosity enhancement strategy is activated. Combined with pulse dosing, pre-mixing procedures, and the dual-dosage port collaborative working mode, this solves the dosage deviation problem of traditional manual dosing, achieving dynamic and precise control of dosing and optimizing dispersion efficiency.
[0058] In the adaptive parameter configuration module, the fuzzy logic algorithm has a built-in viscosity-rotation speed mapping table, which is constructed by the following methods: when the viscosity is ≤5000 cP, the Newtonian fluid model is matched, and the rotation speed is set to 50-80 rpm; when the viscosity is >5000 cP and the water content is <40%, the Bingham plastic model is matched, and the rotation speed is set to 120-180 rpm; when the viscosity is >10000 cP, the high-torque compensation strategy is activated, and the rotation speed is increased to 200-300 rpm. The built-in viscosity-rotation speed mapping table automatically switches between the Newtonian fluid, Bingham plastic model and high-torque compensation strategy according to the viscosity threshold: when the viscosity is ≤5000 cP, the low-speed energy-saving mode is matched; when the viscosity is >5000 cP and the water content is <40%, the medium-high speed stirring is started; when the viscosity is >10000 cP, the high-speed compensation is activated. This strategy deeply couples the stirring rotation speed with the material rheological properties, avoids over-stirring or insufficient stirring caused by traditional "fixed rotation speed", and realizes dynamic adaptation of mechanical parameters and material properties.
[0059] In the multi-stage gradient stirring module, the liquid level threshold triggers a hysteresis control method: when the first threshold triggers low-speed stirring, the liquid level needs to fall below 25% before stopping is allowed; a ±2% buffer band is set between the second and third thresholds; the first threshold is volume, the second threshold is volume, and the third threshold is volume; the duration of each stirring stage is dynamically adjusted according to the material properties:
[0060]
[0061] where μ is the viscosity, ρ is the density, k=0.08, b=5, and a hysteresis control method is used to set the liquid level threshold trigger logic. After the first threshold is triggered, the liquid level needs to fall below 25% before stopping is allowed, and a ±2% buffer band is set between the second / third thresholds to prevent frequent start / stop caused by liquid level fluctuations. Combined with the stirring stage time calculation formula (T=k⋅ρμ+b), the stage maintenance time is dynamically adjusted according to the material viscosity and density, which improves the stability of the stirring process, prolongs the service life of the equipment, and solves the parameter rigidity problem of traditional fixed threshold and time control.
[0062] In the multi-stage gradient stirring module, the time parameters for each stage are dynamically adjusted according to the liquid level rise rate. Specifically, when the liquid level rise rate is greater than 5cm / min, the stage maintenance time is shortened to 5-7 minutes; when the liquid level rise rate is ≤5cm / min, the stage maintenance time is extended to 8-10 minutes. The liquid level rise rate is calculated by the difference between two adjacent liquid level detection data and the detection interval time. The stage stirring time is dynamically adjusted according to the liquid level rise rate: when the rise rate is greater than 5cm / min, it is shortened to 5-7 minutes, and when it is ≤5cm / min, it is extended to 8-10 minutes. This mechanism links the stirring stage time with the material feed rate in real time, avoiding the risk of blockage caused by excessively fast feeding or energy waste caused by excessively slow feeding in a fixed time mode, thereby improving the system's processing efficiency and adaptability to working conditions.
[0063] In the real-time data twin processing module, the digital twin model is constructed by collecting at least 20 sets of liquid level, torque, and current sample data under different material characteristics to train the LSTM neural network. The rolling optimization time domain of the model predictive control (MPC) algorithm is set to 1 minute, and the control time domain is set to 0.5 minutes. When the predicted probability of material accumulation is greater than 70%, an adjustment instruction to increase the stirring speed by 10-20 rpm is automatically generated. The edge computing unit performs the following operations: Establish the material rheological state equation:
[0064]
[0065] in, is the shear stress, is the yield stress, is the consistency coefficient, is the shear rate, The system uses a Kalman filter to fuse current and torque signals, achieving a prediction accuracy of ±1.5%. When the predicted accumulation risk index exceeds 0.7, reverse pulse stirring (2 Hz frequency, 10% of rated speed) is added in advance. A digital twin model is constructed using LSTM neural network training and the MPC algorithm to collect level, torque, and current data for real-time predictive control, enabling the prediction of material accumulation 0.5-1 minute in advance. By combining the material rheological equation of state with the Kalman filter fusion algorithm, reverse pulse stirring is initiated when the predicted accumulation risk index exceeds 0.7, achieving a transition from "delayed response" to "forward-looking regulation," improving mixing uniformity and system reliability.
[0066] In the remote cooperative monitoring module, the sound and light alarm threshold is specifically set as: the liquid level abnormal fluctuation threshold ± 5% triggers when the actual liquid level deviation is greater than 10 cm; the fault positioning report includes real-time video stream (resolution 1280x720, frame rate 25 fps), sensor waveform graph and motor current curve; the remote terminal (mobile phone / PC) supports parameter fine adjustment of the system through the VPN network, the adjustment step is: speed ± 1 revolution / minute, medicament addition ratio ± 0.5%, 5G communication module is used to realize cloud synchronization of mixing data, sound and light alarm threshold of liquid level abnormal fluctuation ± 5% (corresponding to actual deviation > 10 cm) is set, and fault positioning report including real-time video stream, sensor waveform graph and motor current curve is pushed. The remote terminal supports fine adjustment of speed ± 1 revolution / minute and medicament ratio ± 0.5% through the VPN network, breaking the limitation of traditional local control, realizing remote operation and maintenance and rapid fault positioning of industrial Internet of Things level.
[0067] In the fault linkage processing module, the self-calibration program includes three levels of diagnosis: primary diagnosis: comparing the data difference between the capacitive sensor and the ultrasonic sensor, if |AH|>3%, starting temperature drift compensation; middle-level diagnosis: injecting test signal to verify the sensor response linearity (R 2 ≥0.98); advanced diagnosis: actual liquid level value is deduced by motor current spectrum analysis (FFT resolution 0.5 Hz); the three-level diagnosis mechanism of the fault linkage processing module: primary diagnosis compares the data of the double sensors and starts temperature drift compensation; middle-level diagnosis injects test signal to verify the sensor linearity; advanced diagnosis deduces the liquid level value by motor current spectrum analysis. When the main sensor deviates by >±3% for 3 times in succession, switch to the standby capacitive sensor within 50 ms and start self-calibration, and reduce the speed to the safety interval, to build a multi-level fault protection system and improve the system operation reliability.
[0068] In the energy-saving closed-loop control module, the residual material emptying program before entering the sleep mode is: when the liquid level is lower than the 10% threshold, control the variable frequency motor to continuously stir at 150-200 revolutions / minute for 3-5 minutes; after stirring, detect the material accumulation height in the feed hopper, if >5 cm, repeat the emptying and stirring once; the residual material emptying program of the energy-saving closed-loop control module: when the liquid level is lower than the 10% threshold, stir at 150-200 revolutions / minute for 3-5 minutes, and repeat emptying when the accumulation height is >5 cm. This mechanism solves the problem of residual material solidification in traditional systems, avoids equipment corrosion and blockage, reduces maintenance cost, and at the same time provides a clean equipment state for the sleep mode, ensuring the stability of the next start.
[0069] Further, in the energy-saving closed-loop control module, the motor preheating strategy includes: establishing a start-up power consumption model based on historical data:
[0070]
[0071] wherein, is the maximum start-up power peak, is the decay coefficient, is the steady state power, t is the time, the winding temperature maintenance current of 0.5% rated power is maintained during the hibernation, the speed is pre-boosted according to the S-shaped curve 3 minutes before the next start, the start-up power consumption model is established based on historical data, the winding temperature maintenance current of 0.5% rated power is maintained during the hibernation, and the speed is pre-boosted according to the S-shaped curve 3 minutes before the start. The strategy optimizes the start-up current waveform, reduces the instantaneous power consumption, shortens the time to reach the rated working condition, and realizes the energy consumption optimization and start-up performance improvement of the mixing system in the whole life cycle by combining the low-power standby of the hibernation mode.
[0072] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.

The three-dimensional mapping table is constructed in the following way: When the viscosity is ≤5000cP, the Newtonian fluid agent dosing model is matched, and the agent dosage is set as follows: when the water content is ≤30%, the dosage is 15-20kg / m 3 When the moisture content is 30%<≤50%, the dosage is 20-25kg / m 3 ; When the moisture content is greater than 50%, the dosage shall be increased by 10% based on the basic value; When the viscosity is greater than 5000cP and the water content is less than 40%, the Bingham plastomer compensation model is matched and the dosing strategy is: when the viscosity is less than 5000cP and the water content is less than 8000cP, the dosage is set to 25-30kg / m 3 , and start the pulse dosing mode; when 8000cP<viscosity≤10000cP, the dosage is increased to 30-35kg / m 3 , and activate the medicine pre-mixing program at the same time; When the viscosity is greater than 10000 cP, the high viscosity agent enhancement strategy is activated. Specifically, when the moisture content is ≥40%, the dosage is 1.5 times the upper limit of the Newtonian fluid model; the dual agent dosing port collaborative working mode is simultaneously started, with the main dosing port adding 70% of the calculated value and the auxiliary dosing port adding 30% compensation; when the material moisture content is greater than 80%, the agent dosage ratio is automatically increased by 10%-15%; In the multi-stage gradient stirring module, the liquid level threshold trigger adopts the hysteresis control method: after the first threshold triggers low-speed stirring, the liquid level must drop below 25% before it is allowed to stop; a ±2% buffer zone is set between the second and third thresholds; and the first threshold is Volume, the second threshold is Volume, the third threshold is volume; The duration of each mixing stage is dynamically adjusted according to the material characteristics: Where μ is viscosity, ρ is density, k=0.08, and b=5.
