Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of continuous casting machines, in particular to a continuous casting machine pulling speed stability control method, system, device and medium, and more particularly to a continuous casting machine pulling speed stability control method based on meta-universe space information synchronous mapping and disposal. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the continuous casting production process, pulling speed control is a key link to ensure the quality and production efficiency of the cast blank. The traditional continuous casting machine pulling speed control method mainly relies on empirical formula and real-time feedback control, such as adjusting the pulling speed by measuring the liquid level height, molten steel temperature and other parameters in the crystallizer. However, these methods have the following limitations: Insufficient data dimension: mainly relying on a limited number of parameters such as liquid level, temperature, etc., which cannot fully reflect the complex multi-source information in the continuous casting process, resulting in insufficient overall situational awareness of the production process and difficulty in timely discovering problems; Lack of prediction ability: existing technologies are mostly based on real-time feedback for adjustment, lacking the ability to predict future pulling speed trends. When sudden abnormalities occur in the production process, such as fluctuations in molten steel composition, equipment failure, etc., the system cannot respond in advance, resulting in pulling speed fluctuations and affecting the quality of the cast blank; Slow decision response: traditional pulling speed control methods rely on human experience and simple feedback control algorithms, with a slow decision-making process that is difficult to adapt to rapidly changing production conditions. For example, during continuous casting, when the molten steel temperature suddenly changes, the system needs a long time to adjust the pulling speed, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the cast blank; Lack of visualization and simulation functions: existing technologies lack a visual environment for the production process, making it difficult for operators to intuitively understand the production status. At the same time, there is a lack of deep review of historical production data and simulation analysis of future production scenarios, which cannot provide scientific basis for production optimization.

It includes: in the meta-universe, based on the structural characteristics and energy characteristics of the actual energy system, a virtual energy system is constructed; according to the running conditions corresponding to the actual energy system, the virtual energy system is tested for steady state, and the running parameters of the virtual energy system are obtained; according to the running parameters of the virtual energy system, the expected failure points corresponding to the actual energy system are determined; according to the expected failure points, the actual energy system is adjusted.
[0004] Patent document CN108380838B (Application Number: 201810164343.X) discloses a casting speed control method for continuous casting. The method comprises: determining the current casting speed and the target casting speed during the continuous casting process; comparing the current casting speed and the target casting speed; if the current casting speed is greater than the target casting speed, determining whether the speed variation between the target and current casting speeds is within a preset range; if the speed variation is within the preset range, adjusting the casting speed deceleration to the target deceleration corresponding to the preset range; if the current casting speed is less than the target casting speed, determining whether the current casting speed is within the preset range; if the current casting speed is within the preset range, adjusting the casting speed acceleration to the target acceleration corresponding to the preset range. However, this method lacks information dimensionality and fails to analyze and integrate the complex multi-source information in the continuous casting process, resulting in delayed detection and response to sudden anomalies. Furthermore, this method lacks predictive capabilities and optimization strategies for casting speed variations, and lacks a visualization environment for the production process, which prevents intuitive decision support.

[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Example 1 The present invention provides a method and system for controlling the casting speed stability of a continuous casting machine, comprising: constructing a metaverse space of the continuous casting production process, integrating multi-source real-time data through information space mapping, using deep learning and intelligent optimization algorithms to predict and optimize casting speeds, and feeding back to physical equipment to achieve stable control of the casting speed of the continuous casting machine; at the same time, supporting production history review and future simulation to improve the control accuracy, analysis capabilities and production efficiency of continuous casting production.
[0032] The continuous casting machine casting speed stability control system is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 Shown, including: Data Acquisition Module: Sensors deployed at key locations on the continuous casting machine collect data on molten steel temperature, flow rate, mold vibration parameters, straightener speed, ingot dimensions, and quality inspection. This data comprehensively reflects the real-time status of continuous casting production and is transmitted to the Information Space Mapping Module. It also provides basic data support for the anomaly perception and prediction, decision optimization, and control modules.
[0033] Information space mapping module: Utilizes modeling technology to construct a virtual three-dimensional model of the continuous casting machine production process, and maps the production data collected in real time from different sensors into the virtual three-dimensional model, so that the virtual model can reflect the operating status of each device and the changes in materials in the actual production process in real time, thereby constructing a metaverse space of the continuous casting production process, providing operators and algorithms with intuitive and comprehensive situational awareness, while ensuring that the status of the virtual model is synchronized with the actual operating status of the physical continuous casting machine at the millisecond level, realizing the linkage between virtual and real objects, and providing visualization scenarios for abnormal perception and prediction, decision optimization and control, and historical data and simulation analysis modules.
[0034] The continuous casting machine production process is a dynamically changing system, involving multiple data sources such as molten steel temperature, flow rate, mold vibration, and straightener speed. These data sources vary widely in sampling frequency, data format, and communication protocols. For example, a molten steel temperature sensor may collect data at a frequency of seconds, while mold vibration parameters require high-frequency sampling in milliseconds. Data from these different sources is uniformly converted into a standardized data structure in JSON format, using the encoding rule: heat number + billet number + process code + timestamp (ms) to ensure data consistency across time. Normalization is then performed to ensure accurate data synchronization into the Metaverse virtual model.
[0035] The Anomaly Perception and Prediction Module utilizes fused real-time data and, based on a virtual model, conducts real-time monitoring and correlation analysis of the continuous casting process. Upon detecting abnormal patterns or potential risks that deviate from normal ranges, an alert is highlighted in the Metaverse, buying time for a rapid response. Furthermore, based on historical data and real-time operating conditions, a deep learning model is used to predict casting speed trends over the short term. These predictions are fed back to the Decision Optimization and Control Module to inform control strategy formulation. Simultaneously, the prediction model is continuously updated and optimized online based on actual casting speed data. Working together, these two modules not only enhance the system's ability to rapidly respond to emergencies but also lay the foundation for more stable and optimized casting speed control.
[0036] Specifically, firstly, the collected real-time status data of the continuous casting production of the continuous casting machine is preprocessed, including: removing noise and outlier processing to obtain preprocessed real-time status data; The pre-processed state data, such as molten steel temperature, flow rate, crystallizer vibration parameters, straightening machine speed, billet size and quality inspection data, are composed into a two-dimensional single-channel feature map. Each row of the feature map is the data collected by a type of sensor, which is divided according to the length of the same sampling point, such as Figure 5 As shown; The single-channel feature map is used to identify anomalies and predict the trend of casting speed changes through anomaly recognition models; The anomaly recognition model includes a multi-parameter collaborative anomaly pattern recognition sub-model, an anomaly propagation path tracing sub-model, and an association mining sub-model for implicit risk warning. The multi-parameter collaborative abnormal pattern recognition sub-model identifies hidden problems in which a single parameter is normal but a combination of parameters is abnormal based on a single-channel characteristic diagram; for example, the molten steel temperature is within the normal range, but the crystallizer liquid level fluctuates greatly and the drawing speed oscillates synchronously. Combined with the change in the sudden drop in cooling water volume, the chain abnormal pattern of "insufficient cooling intensity → uneven shell shrinkage → liquid level fluctuation → passive adjustment of drawing speed" can be identified, rather than a single parameter failure.
[0037] The anomaly propagation path tracing sub-model uses temporal and spatial correlation analysis based on single-channel feature graphs to locate the anomaly's source and diffusion path. For example, if a continuous decrease in casting speed is detected over a 10-minute period, retrospective data reveals that the molten steel temperature from the ladle to the tundish had already dropped 30 minutes prior, leading to a gradual decrease in tundish superheat, accelerated mold shell growth, increased load on the straightening machine, and ultimately triggering a reduction in casting speed. Temporal correlation can be used to trace the anomaly's source to "upstream molten steel temperature control deviation."
[0038] The implicit risk early warning association mining sub-model identifies potential risks that have not yet caused obvious abnormalities based on single-channel feature maps; for example, when the copper plate wear exceeds 5% of the threshold, and the vibration amplitude deviation is large, even if the current pulling speed is still stable, but the protective slag consumption has increased, it can be warned that "copper plate wear → increased friction of crystallizer → possible pulling speed fluctuation or sticking and breakout risk within 24 hours in the future".
[0039] The decision optimization and control module generates optimal pulling speed control instructions by integrating various types of information, accurately regulates the pulling speed of the continuous casting machine, and ensures the quality of the cast slab and production efficiency.
[0040] Specifically, the decision optimization and control module includes: Sub-module N1: comprehensively considers the predicted pulling speed change trend, current continuous casting state, abnormal situation, and process constraint conditions, and uses a reinforcement learning algorithm to generate an optimal pulling speed adjustment strategy. According to the quality indicators and production efficiency indicators of continuous casting production, an evaluation model is established to simulate and evaluate the generated pulling speed adjustment strategy, and the model parameters are updated in real time to continuously improve the accuracy and adaptability of the pulling speed adjustment strategy.
[0041] Sub-module N2: sends the optimized pulling speed control instructions, visually presents them in the virtual space, and confirms them through human-computer interaction (optional), finally generates accurate control instructions, sends them to physical devices, and records all decision-making and disposal processes for subsequent review.
[0042] The historical data and simulation analysis module: on the one hand, based on the models and historical data constructed in the metaverse space, it reviews the past continuous casting production process, reproduces the production scene, pulling speed change, and problems at the time, and assists in analyzing the root cause of the problem; on the other hand, using prediction models and optimization algorithms, it simulates future continuous casting production, simulates the pulling speed control effect under different working conditions, identifies potential problems in advance, and optimizes production plans, process parameters, etc., to improve production efficiency and benefits.
[0043] Specifically, first, based on a large amount of historical data, a neural network is built, and the traditional convolutional neural network model structure is improved. In the first convolutional layer, a multi-scale convolution kernel is used to convolve the original data to mine the rich and diverse features in the original signal. The large convolution kernel mainly functions to increase the receptive field and extract global features, and the small convolution is mainly used to extract local features, thereby constructing a traceability model. A training set was then constructed, consisting of both abnormal and normal data. The abnormality records included real-time parameters (such as casting speed and temperature), equipment status (such as current and vibration), quality inspection results, and the final confirmed issue. When constructing the training set, a certain number of records before and after each abnormality occurred were used as abnormal samples, while records from non-abnormal times were divided into several normal samples. 70% of these samples were selected as training samples, and 30% as test samples.
[0044] Extract features from the data set, then build a network model, configure model parameters and perform network training. Once the requirements are met, save the network parameters and output the trained model.
[0045] When an anomaly is detected, the current status data is obtained and the root cause of the problem is analyzed using the trained traceability model based on the status data.
[0046] The present invention solves the problems of insufficient information dimension, slow decision response, and lack of in-depth review and foresight of the production process in traditional continuous casting machine speed control by adopting a method based on synchronous mapping and processing of metaverse space information, combined with abnormal perception, speed prediction and decision optimization technology. By building a virtual-real linkage bridge, integrating multi-source data in the production process, and a real-time data-driven intelligent model, high-precision and stable control of the continuous casting machine speed is achieved. In addition, relying on the powerful simulation and backtracking functions of the metaverse space, not only can historical production data be deeply mined and reviewed, but also forward-looking simulation analysis can be carried out based on preset scenarios to provide a scientific basis for decision-making. The present invention effectively improves the quality and efficiency of steel production, reduces production costs, and expands new paths for production process analysis and optimization.
