Currently, the main selection method is direct reduction followed by ultrafine grinding followed by magnetic separation. This process allows for the high-value-added utilization of high-phosphorus oolitic hematite, effectively removing harmful phosphorus, and providing alternatives to foreign iron ore for the Chinese steel industry. Ultrafine grinding is a key step in this process, effectively removing harmful phosphorus and improving product quality.

[0048] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0049] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.
[0050] A control method for ultrafine grinding of oolitic hematite is used to control grinding equipment in the ultrafine grinding process, specifically comprising the following steps:
[0051] Step 1: Data collection and preprocessing, specifically including the following steps:
[0052] Step 11, collecting grinding data, the grinding data includes grinding particle size distribution data, energy consumption data, grinding equipment vibration data, grinding equipment bearing and motor temperature, grinding time, medium ratio, equipment failure conditions, energy consumption data is calculated by collecting real-time voltage and current, grinding equipment vibration data includes grinding vibration frequency and amplitude, equipment failure conditions include the number of equipment failures, each failed component and maintenance conditions;
[0053] Step 12: Data preprocessing: Use a big data platform (such as Hadoop or Spark) to clean, denoise, and integrate the grinding data.
[0054] Step 13: Build a data warehouse: Use the pre-processed grinding data as historical data.
[0055] Step 2: Model training and optimization: The model includes a granularity prediction model, an energy consumption optimization model, and an equipment health management model.
[0056] The particle size prediction model uses a hybrid LSTM-CNN architecture. LSTM stands for long short-term memory (LSTM) and CNN stands for convolutional neural network (CNN). The LSTM is designed with three layers, each containing 128 neurons. The time step is set to 10, corresponding to 10 consecutive sampling points. This architecture processes the time series characteristics of the grinding parameters, which are sequences of parameters that continuously change over time during the grinding process. The CNN uses five 1D convolution kernels to extract local features of the particle size distribution curve. These local features can reflect real-time changes in the particle size distribution during the grinding process. The time series characteristics processed by the LSTM and the local features extracted by the CNN are concatenated and input into a fully connected layer, which processes these features to output the grinding time and media ratio.
[0057] The inputs of the particle size prediction model include grinding time, media ratio, grinding concentration, particle size distribution and effective grinding time coefficient, among which the media ratio characteristics are weighted by the formula Σ where w i is the weight proportion of the i-th medium, d iThe diameter is. By adopting the weighted manner, on the one hand, different sizes of media play different roles in the grinding process, and the media with larger diameter mainly crush larger ore particles, and the media with smaller diameter are used to grind smaller particles, and by weighting the weight proportion and diameter of the media, the grinding capacity of the media can be more comprehensively and accurately reflected, so that the model can more accurately predict the grinding effect; on the other hand, the input quality of the model is improved, and the proportions of multiple media are converted into one or several comprehensive values through weighting, which can reduce the dimension of input features, make the model input more concise and efficient, and at the same time retain the key information. The input mode of the model is to calculate a value through a weighting processing formula by using the proportions of several media, and then take the value as an input feature of the model. The value after the weighting processing can comprehensively reflect the matching of the media in the current grinding process, and provide more accurate input information for the model.
[0058] The effective grinding time coefficient is calculated by the following formula:
[0059] η = (t actual / t theoretical ) × (1 - e (-k*ΔD) ), wherein ΔD is the difference between the current particle size and the target particle size, reflecting the progress of the grinding process; η represents the effective grinding time coefficient, used to measure the efficiency ratio of the actual grinding time and the theoretically required time; t actual is the actual grinding time, indicating the actual time spent to complete the grinding operation; t theoretical is the theoretical grinding time, indicating the estimated time required to complete grinding under ideal conditions, and k is a constant related to the characteristics of oolitic hematite. This formula dynamically evaluates the efficiency of the grinding process by combining the actual grinding time and the particle size difference, thereby helping to optimize the grinding parameters, reduce energy consumption and improve product quality. Through this formula, the operator can monitor the grinding efficiency in real time, and adjust the grinding time, media matching and other parameters according to the value of η, to achieve a more optimal grinding effect.
[0060] The output of the particle size prediction model is the grinding time and the media matching, and the output grinding time and the media matching are used to control the grinding process.
[0061] In the training process, whether the training is completed is determined by optimizing the loss function. The loss function adopts mean square error (MSE), and the model parameters are optimized through back propagation. The loss function is L = αMSE time + βMSE ratio + γMSE distribution , wherein α, β and γ are weight coefficients optimized for oolitic hematite, used to balance the contributions of different parts, preferably α = 0.4, β = 0.3 and γ = 0.3, and MSE timeis the mean square error of grinding time, which is used to measure the difference between the grinding time predicted by the model and the actual grinding time; MSE ratio MSE is the mean square error of the medium ratio, which is used to measure the difference between the medium ratio predicted by the model and the actual medium ratio; distribution is the mean squared error of the particle size distribution, which measures the difference between the model's predicted and actual particle size distribution. This multi-objective loss function enables the model to simultaneously optimize grinding time, media ratio, and particle size distribution during training. This integrated optimization approach improves grinding efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and enhances product quality. In practice, the model adjusts its parameters by minimizing this loss function, ensuring that the predicted values are as close as possible to the actual values. In this way, the model learns the complex relationships within the grinding process and provides precise control recommendations in actual production.
[0062] Compared with the general model, this dedicated architecture improves the prediction accuracy by more than 15% in the ultrafine grinding scenario of oolitic hematite.
[0063] For the energy consumption optimization model, the random forest (RF) model and the DDQN algorithm model are used. The input data of the energy consumption optimization model are grinding concentration, rotation speed, medium size, historical data of energy consumption and energy consumption change rate. The output is grinding concentration and rotation speed. The energy consumption change rate is calculated by the grinding kinetic equation. The formula is as follows:
[0064] dE / dx=K×x -n ×f(C,ω),
[0065] Where dE / dx is the energy consumption change rate, x is the particle size, C is the grinding concentration, ω is the rotation speed, K and n are the specific parameters of oolitic hematite, and f(C,ω) is the coupling influence function of grinding concentration and rotation speed. The specific formula is as follows:
[0066]
[0067] C is the current grinding concentration, C opt is the optimal grinding concentration, which can be determined by experiments or by past experience. crit is the critical speed, which is the limit value to avoid the centrifugal movement of the grinding equipment. a, b, and c are dynamic fitting parameters obtained through random forest model training.
[0068] The random forest model is trained by inputting historical data of grinding concentration, speed, medium size, energy consumption and energy consumption change rate into the random forest model. The random forest model learns the relationship between grinding parameters and energy consumption, and outputs the predicted energy consumption value, the preliminary optimized grinding concentration and speed.
[0069] The DDQN algorithm model is trained. The input data during training are: grinding concentration, speed, energy consumption, productivity, product quality, and the preliminary optimized grinding concentration and speed output by the random forest model. The output data are the final optimized grinding concentration and speed, which are used to control the grinding process.
[0070] The DDQN algorithm model has a reward function, which is used to evaluate the grinding process of the final optimized grinding concentration and speed input. The reward function is designed as follows:
[0071] R=λ1(ΔE / E std )+λ2(ΔP / P std )+λ3(QQ min ),
[0072] Where ΔE is the energy consumption reduction, E std is the benchmark energy consumption value, ΔP is the productivity change, P std is the benchmark productivity, Q is the product quality index, Q min represents the minimum threshold for product quality. During energy optimization, the model monitors and evaluates the energy efficiency of the current grinding operation in real time. For example, as the energy reduction ΔE increases, it indicates that the optimization measures implemented by the model have effectively reduced energy consumption. Accordingly, the value of the reward function R also increases, encouraging the model to continue using this strategy. Based on the principle of maximizing cumulative rewards, the model continuously adjusts its strategy to achieve energy optimization while balancing productivity and product quality.
[0073] During the training process of the energy consumption optimization model, a loss function is introduced. The loss function formula is as follows:
[0074]
[0075] Where m is the number of training data groups, is the energy consumption value predicted by the random forest model when the i-th group of training data is input, is the energy consumption value calculated by monitoring the current and voltage, and Penalty is the penalty term. The penalty term formula is as follows:
[0076] Penalty=∑[max(0,g i (x)-b i )] 2 ,
[0077] Among them, g i (x) is the i-th constraint function. The specific calculation method of the constraint function can adopt the existing technology. The maximum value of i is the number of data in the grinding data that needs to be constrained. x is the i-th data type in the grinding data. b iis the boundary value corresponding to the i-th data type, max(0,g i (x)-b i ) is 0 and g i (x)-b i The maximum value in . During model training, if a constraint is violated (e.g., the rotational speed exceeds the safe range), the penalty term increases the loss function, and the model adjusts the parameters through backpropagation. In actual grinding, the model adjusts the grinding operation based on the optimized parameters, ensuring energy consumption optimization while meeting process constraints and ensuring a safe and stable grinding process.
[0078] For the equipment health management model, it includes:
[0079] Multimodal fusion model, used to fuse the characteristics of vibration frequency, temperature, current, and equipment failure during the grinding process;
[0080] The fault propagation model uses a Bayesian network for prediction. Before using the Bayesian network, you need to build the Bayesian network:
[0081] Step 1: Analyze the causal relationship between the failures of various components of the equipment;
[0082] Step 2: Based on the fault causal relationship, different fault events and their associated factors are represented in the form of nodes;
[0083] Step 3: Determine the prior probability based on the node, quantify the possibility of fault occurrence and its propagation law, and achieve early warning of potential faults and accurate location of the root cause of the fault.
[0084] The constructed Bayesian network outputs the device failure probability, which includes the failure probability of each component in the device that needs to be predicted.
[0085] After constructing the Bayesian network, historical data of vibration frequency, temperature, current, and equipment failure conditions are used as input to train the Bayesian network.
[0086] After the training is completed, the probability of equipment failure can be predicted by inputting the real-time collected vibration frequency, temperature, current and historical equipment failure conditions.
[0087] The remaining life prediction model uses the LSTM+attention mechanism to input the output of the fault propagation model and historical data into the remaining life prediction model to predict the remaining service life of the equipment. The attention mechanism is used to assign weights to different LSTM hidden states, highlighting the impact of key features on life prediction. The remaining life prediction value RUL of the grinding equipment is output through the following formula t =∑(a i ×h i )+b,h iFor the i-th LSTM state, a i For the i-th LSTM state, a
[0088] The device health management model generates device health state evaluation, failure prediction, remaining life prediction, and maintenance recommendations based on the device failure probability obtained from the failure propagation model and the remaining life prediction model.
[0089] The working steps of the health management model are as follows:
[0090] Step 1: The multi-modal fusion model fuses the vibration frequency, temperature, current, and device failure conditions in the grinding process.
[0091] Step 2: The fused features are input into the failure propagation model, which predicts the failure probability based on the input fused features to obtain the device failure prediction probability.
[0092] Step 3: The predicted failure probability and device failure conditions are input into the remaining life prediction model, which predicts the remaining life of the grinding device to obtain the predicted remaining life of the grinding device.
[0093] Step 4: Based on the device failure prediction probability and the predicted remaining life of the grinding device, the device health state evaluation and maintenance recommendations are obtained, and the device failure prediction probability, the predicted remaining life of the grinding device, the device health state evaluation, and the maintenance recommendations are output together.
[0094] Step 3: Real-time control and decision-making:
[0095] The real-time collected grinding time, medium ratio, grinding concentration, particle size distribution, and calculated effective grinding time coefficient are input into the particle size prediction model, which outputs the required grinding time and medium ratio. The grinding device is controlled according to the grinding time and medium ratio output by the particle size prediction model.
[0096] The real-time collected grinding concentration, rotational speed, medium size, energy consumption, and calculated energy consumption change rate are input into the energy consumption optimization model, which outputs the grinding concentration and rotational speed. The grinding device is controlled according to the grinding concentration and rotational speed output by the energy consumption optimization model.
[0097] The vibration frequency, temperature, current, and device failure conditions are input into the device health management model, which predicts the device health prediction results. The grinding device is maintained according to the device health prediction results. Maintenance includes maintenance and repair.
[0098] Step 4: Process effect evaluation and feedback:
[0099] Step 41: Obtain particle size qualification rate, energy efficiency, and equipment failure rate;
[0100] Step 42: determine whether the particle size qualification rate, energy efficiency and equipment failure rate meet the requirements. If not, continue to train the corresponding model until the particle size qualification rate, energy efficiency and equipment failure rate meet the requirements.
