TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The embodiment of the present application relates to the technical field of kiln combustion control, in particular to a shuttle kiln for natural gas hydrogen blending combustion and a combustion control method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Natural gas is mainly composed of methane, which is an extremely flammable fuel. After combustion, a short and thick flame is quickly formed, and the high-temperature zone is concentrated in the front combustion zone. Adding hydrogen gas with faster combustion rate to natural gas will make the local high-temperature zone formed in the front of combustion continue to move forward, realizing efficient combustion of hydrogen-blended natural gas fuel.
[0003] At present, there are problems in the mixing control of hydrogen-blended natural gas fuel combustion in the shuttle kiln. The existing technology generally supplies natural gas and hydrogen gas in proportion through the adjustment of the valve. The supply and mixing control of hydrogen gas are not strict. Compared with natural gas, hydrogen gas is a more dangerous flammable gas due to its small molecules, fast diffusion speed and higher combustion heat. Therefore, slight improper control in hydrogen blending combustion can easily lead to safety problems such as hydrogen leakage and unstable combustion. In addition, the proportional supply of natural gas and hydrogen gas can easily lead to the problem of mismatching between combustion control and combustion temperature control for products with special requirements for temperature firing curve or different firing processes, making it difficult to accurately control the combustion temperature. Moreover, the existing technology only considers temperature control without comprehensively considering firing effects such as product firing quality, energy consumption and pollutant emission.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0047] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present application can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein.
[0048] Figure 1 Fig. 1 shows a structure schematic diagram of a shuttle kiln provided by the embodiment of the application in one angle of natural gas hydrogen blending combustion; Figure 2 Fig. 2 shows a structure schematic diagram of a shuttle kiln provided by the embodiment of the application in another angle of natural gas hydrogen blending combustion; Figure 1 Fig. 3 shows a cross-section structure schematic diagram of a mixing pipeline in a shuttle kiln provided by the embodiment of the application in natural gas hydrogen blending combustion; Figure 2 As shown, the shuttle kiln for natural gas hydrogen combustion includes a control system 1, a natural gas pipeline 2, a hydrogen pipeline 3, a mixing pipeline 4, a fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5, an ignition controller 6, a burner 7, an air pipeline 8, an exhaust pipeline 9, a temperature detector 10, and a kiln body 11. The kiln body 11 is composed of an external steel structure frame and an internal heat preservation layer. The hearth of the kiln body 11 is used for gas combustion and is used for firing various industrial materials or ceramic products. As an example, the shuttle kiln is used for firing ceramic products. As shown, the hearth has a trolley for loading ceramic products. The kiln body 11 is provided with a movable furnace door. The kiln body 11 is provided with a rotating shaft. The movable furnace door is connected to the rotating shaft through the rotating shaft, so as to facilitate opening the movable furnace door and pushing the trolley with ceramic products into or out of the kiln.
[0049] The natural gas pipeline 2 is used for separately conveying natural gas to the mixing pipeline 4. The hydrogen pipeline 3 is used for separately conveying hydrogen to the mixing pipeline 4. The mixing pipeline 4 is connected to the natural gas pipeline 2 and the hydrogen pipeline 3 and is used for mixing hydrogen into natural gas to obtain hydrogen-containing combustion gas. Hydrogen has a combustion-supporting effect when natural gas is burned. The mixing pipeline 4 of the present embodiment can realize safe mixing of natural gas and hydrogen.
[0050] The burner 7 is connected to the mixing pipeline 4. The burner 7 is arranged on the kiln body 11 and has one end extending into the hearth of the kiln body 11, so that the hydrogen-containing combustion gas can be burned in the hearth. In order to improve safety, the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5 is further arranged between the burner 7 and the mixing pipeline 4. The ignition controller 6 is electrically connected to the burner 7 and the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5. The ignition controller 6 has the functions of controlling ignition, monitoring flame condition, and controlling the on-off of the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5. After the ignition instruction is issued by the control system 1, the ignition controller 6 controls the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5 to open, so that the natural gas in the mixing pipeline 4 flows into the burner 7. The ignition controller 6 also controls the burner 7 to ignite according to the ignition instruction. The ignition controller 6 connects the current of the ignition electrode of the burner 7 to ignite. Under the action of the ignition electrode, the natural gas is ignited, and the combustion flame of the natural gas appears in the burner 7. The ignition controller 6 also detects the combustion flame to determine whether the combustion flame exists or the combustion flame is extinguished. When the combustion flame is detected, a feedback signal is sent to the control system 1, so that the control system 1 controls the hydrogen pipeline 3 to supply hydrogen, and the hydrogen is mixed into the natural gas in the mixing pipeline 4. When the ignition controller 6 does not detect the combustion flame, the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5 is controlled to be closed to prevent gas leakage. The ignition controller 6 and the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5 are important safety control devices of the present embodiment. The ignition controller 6 integrates three functions. After being matched with the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve 5 and the burner 7, the ignition controller 6 can improve the safety and stability of the combustion process.
[0051] The output end of the combustion-supporting air pipeline 8 is connected to the other end of the burner 7, for conveying combustion-supporting air into the burner 7, and the combustion-supporting air pipeline 8 can use a fan to directly convey air flow into the burner 7 for combustion-supporting. The smoke exhaust pipeline 9 is connected to the kiln body 11, for exhausting smoke for the kiln body 11, and the smoke exhaust pipeline 9 can include a smoke exhaust induced draft fan 91 and a chimney 92, through which the smoke generated by combustion is exhausted to the chimney 92 and finally exhausted to the outside through the chimney 92.
[0052] The temperature detector 10 is arranged on the kiln body 11 and has one end extending into the hearth of the kiln body 11, for detecting multi-dimensional real-time data of the hearth, wherein the temperature detector 10 can be a thermocouple which converts a temperature signal into an electric signal and sends it to the control system 1. The hearth and the corresponding positions of the natural gas pipeline 2, the hydrogen pipeline 3 and the combustion-supporting air pipeline 2 are also respectively provided with one or more flow meters, pressure sensors and smoke analyzers (not shown in the figure) for respectively detecting the flow, pressure value and smoke substance content at each position in real time.
[0053] The control system 1 of the present embodiment is electrically connected to the ignition controller 6, the temperature detector 10, the natural gas pipeline 2, the hydrogen pipeline 3 and the combustion-supporting air pipeline 8, and is used to control the natural gas pipeline 2 to supply gas. After the natural gas pipeline 2 supplies gas, the control system 1 issues an ignition instruction to the ignition controller 6, and when a feedback signal from the ignition controller 6 is received, it indicates that ignition is successful. The control system 1 controls the hydrogen pipeline 3 to supply gas, so that hydrogen is mixed into natural gas in the mixing pipeline 4, and finally the hydrogen-mixed fuel gas is burned in the burner 7. In the present embodiment, natural gas is burned before hydrogen, and after natural gas is burned, hydrogen is mixed into natural gas for combustion. This way can improve the safety of hydrogen mixed combustion. In addition, when natural gas is mixed with hydrogen for combustion, hydrogen acts as a combustion-supporting gas, which can help natural gas to burn more completely, improve the overall energy efficiency of the fuel, and reduce energy consumption and energy waste.
[0054] The control system 1 also controls the gas supply amount of the natural gas pipeline 2, the hydrogen pipeline 3 and the combustion air pipeline 8 according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace and the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve. The multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve is a curve of temperature, hydrogen mixing ratio, combustion air volume and pressure value changing with time. The multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve is a curve corresponding to the optimal firing effect obtained by training the machine learning algorithm according to historical sintering data and corresponding historical firing effect. The historical sintering data is the temperature, hydrogen mixing ratio, combustion air volume and pressure value collected during the firing process after each firing is completed. The multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is the data of the temperature detector, flow meter, pressure sensor and flue gas analyzer received in real time. The historical firing effect includes historical firing quality, historical energy consumption and historical pollutant emission. The control system 1 of the embodiment controls the gas supply amount of the natural gas pipeline 2, the hydrogen pipeline 3 and the combustion air pipeline 8. Whether it is high-temperature firing or a product with special requirements for the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve, the control system 1 can automatically and accurately control the temperature, hydrogen mixing ratio and other parameters according to the multi-dimensional parameter changes required by different firing processes, so as to achieve optimal firing quality, optimal energy consumption and optimal pollutant emission, solve the problem of inaccurate firing control and temperature control of the shuttle kiln and not comprehensively considering the firing effect such as product firing quality, energy consumption and pollutant emission, and thus optimize the firing quality of the product and improve the consistency and yield of the product.
[0055] The machine learning algorithm module built in the control system 1 has a self-optimization process which is a rigorous, data-driven closed-loop feedback control cycle. This process not only performs real-time fine tuning in a single firing, but more importantly, after each firing is completed, it performs deep data analysis and optimizes the initial parameter settings for the next firing. Specifically, the control system 1 performs the following operations:
[0056] First step: multi-dimensional data acquisition and storage.
[0057] Wherein, in the present firing process (denoted as the Nth firing), the system synchronously collects and time-stamps aligns the following data streams at a high frequency (e.g. once per second) to form a complete set of “firing history” data. First, set the value curve, the temperature target value T_target(t) changing with time, the hydrogen blending ratio set value H2%_target(t), the combustion air volume set value Air_target(t). Then determine the actual value curve, record the actual furnace temperature T_actual(t) fed back by the temperature detector (10), the actual natural gas flow Gas_actual(t) fed back by the natural gas electromagnetic flow controller (22), the actual hydrogen flow H2_actual(t) fed back by the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller (32), and the actual air volume Air_actual(t) fed back by the combustion air controller (81) in real time. Wherein, the embodiment of the present application also records the data of key event points, including the ignition success time, the switching time of each heating stage, the time when the peak temperature is reached, and the time when the cooling starts. Finally, determine the result index, that is, the index recorded after the firing is completed or calculated by the system, including the total natural gas consumption, the total hydrogen consumption, and the product firing quality detection result of the present firing. Wherein, the product firing quality detection result includes the rate of superior products, whether it cracks, deformation degree, etc. This data can be input into the system by the operator according to the inspection result after the furnace is discharged.
[0058] Second step: performance evaluation and deviation calculation
[0059] After the firing is completed, the machine learning algorithm starts the analysis program: performs temperature tracking deviation analysis, calculates the comprehensive deviation between the actual temperature curve and the target temperature curve in the entire firing process. This not only includes the simple mean absolute error (MAE), but also focuses on analyzing the maximum deviation, overshoot and stable time in the key process window (such as the crystal transformation temperature interval). For example, the system can identify that in the “600-800℃ oxidation stage”, the actual temperature rises too fast and exceeds the allowable fluctuation range of the curve. Perform energy efficiency analysis, calculate the comprehensive energy consumption per unit product of the present firing ((total natural gas heat value + total hydrogen heat value) / product yield), and compare it with the historical best value or theoretical value. Perform blending uniformity and stability analysis, including analyzing the hydrogen flow fluctuation, and evaluating the stability of the blending process.
[0060] Third step: root cause analysis and large model reasoning.
[0061] The system analyzes the performance deviation and the operation parameters in the firing process by algorithm, and uses the built-in process model and the trained machine learning model for reasoning. The process model includes thermodynamic model and heat transfer model, and the machine model can be gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) or long short-term memory network (LSTM). The reasoning process includes: 1. Identifying problems, such as analyzing that the rapid temperature rise in the 600-800℃ stage is caused by the excessive rising slope of natural gas flow at the beginning of the stage and the lagging matching of combustion air volume. 2. Finding optimization points, such as in the 1250℃ holding stage, if the hydrogen mixing ratio is maintained at 32%, the oxygen content in the flue gas is high, indicating that the combustion air volume is excessive, resulting in heat loss. Through model reasoning, it is suggested that the mixing ratio can be increased to 33% in this stage, and the combustion air volume can be reduced at the same time, to improve the thermal efficiency under the premise of sufficient combustion. 3. Learning from successful experience: the temperature control in the reduction stage is very stable, and the algorithm records the successful cooperation parameters (such as flow rate, proportion relationship) of natural gas, hydrogen and combustion air in this stage, and strengthens them as an effective rule.
[0062] Fourth step: generating optimization strategy and updating firing curve
[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the root cause analysis result, the algorithm generates a set of targeted and fine-tuned parameter optimization strategies for updating the "multi-dimensional firing curve" of the next (N+1) firing. The multi-dimensional firing curve is updated. The parameters are adjusted to generate new control instructions, such as for the above-mentioned rapid temperature rise stage, the algorithm automatically generates new control instructions to reduce the natural gas flow rising slope at the beginning of the 600-800℃ stage by 10%, and to increase the combustion air volume setting value by 5 seconds in advance to improve the air-fuel ratio. The curve is updated: these optimized parameters (such as new flow rate, new proportion setting value) are seamlessly integrated into the preset curve of the next firing. Therefore, the curve used in the N+1 firing is an intelligent and fine-tuned version of the N curve, rather than a fixed version.
[0064] Fifth step: safety boundary verification and manual confirmation
[0065] Before applying the new multi-dimensional firing curve, the system automatically verifies the optimized parameters with the built-in dynamic safety boundary library to ensure that all adjustments are within the absolute safety range, such as the hydrogen mixing ratio will not exceed the safety upper limit at the current temperature. Subsequently, the optimized curve and suggestions are presented to the operator through the HMI interface, and the operator has the final confirmation right, which can choose to apply immediately, not to apply temporarily or to apply manually after fine-tuning. This "man-machine cooperation" mode ensures the safety and reliability of automation.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the above process is repeated. Each firing provides new and high-quality data for the machine learning model, enabling it to better understand the thermal characteristics of the kiln, fuel reaction, and product process, thereby making increasingly accurate predictions and optimizations, and ultimately achieving continuous self-optimization of the firing process, approaching the "golden process" point of optimal firing quality, minimum energy consumption, and minimum pollutant emissions.
[0067] It is worth noting that the natural gas pipeline 2, hydrogen pipeline 3, mixing pipeline 4, and combustion air pipeline 8 can be divided into multiple branches, and the corresponding fuel shut-off electromagnetic valve 5, ignition controller 6, and burner 7 are arranged on each branch, as shown in Figure 1 The shuttle kiln is provided with four branches, and the four burners 7 are evenly distributed in the furnace chamber, which can quickly reach the predetermined temperature and ensure the stability of the temperature.
[0068] In this embodiment, natural gas and hydrogen are delivered through separate pipelines to the mixing pipeline 4. First, the ignition controller 6 is controlled by the control system 1, the fuel shut-off electromagnetic valve 5 is opened by the ignition controller 6, and the natural gas is delivered to the mixing pipeline 4. The burner 7 is ignited and the combustion flame is detected by the ignition controller 6. When the combustion flame is detected, a feedback signal is sent to the control system 1. The control system 1 controls the hydrogen pipeline 3 to supply gas based on the feedback signal, so that hydrogen is mixed with natural gas in the mixing pipeline 4. Finally, the hydrogen-containing fuel gas is burned in the burner 7. In this embodiment, the strict cooperation of the ignition controller 6, fuel shut-off electromagnetic valve 5, and burner 7, as well as the control strategy of hydrogen entering last, i.e., natural gas entering first and hydrogen entering after natural gas burning, enable safe mixing and stable combustion of the two. The control system 1 controls the gas supply of the natural gas pipeline 2, hydrogen pipeline 3, and combustion air pipeline 8 based on multi-dimensional real-time data and multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curves, intelligently, automatically, and accurately controls the hydrogen mixing ratio, flow rate, and combustion air volume, meets the temperature requirements of different firing processes, matches the combustion control and temperature control, accurately controls the combustion temperature, improves the stability of the firing process, optimizes the firing quality of the product, and reduces the risk of human operation.
[0069] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mixing pipeline 4 includes a pipe body 41, the output port of the natural gas pipeline 2 and the fuel shut-off electromagnetic valve 5 are connected to the two ends of the pipe body 41, the output end of the hydrogen pipeline 3 extends into the pipe body 41 from the side wall of the pipe body 41 and is bent to make the output port of the hydrogen pipeline 3 face the output port of the pipe body 41.
[0070] The natural gas is transported from the output port of the natural gas pipeline 2 to the pipe body 41 and flows out from the output port of the pipe body 41, the hydrogen gas flows into the pipe body 41 from the side wall of the pipe body 41 through the hydrogen gas pipeline 3 and directly flows to the output port of the pipe body 41 after entering the pipe body 41, in this way of separate supply, the natural gas mixed with the hydrogen gas near the output port of the pipe body 41, so that the natural gas cannot flow back to the hydrogen gas pipeline 3 and the hydrogen gas cannot flow back to the natural gas pipeline 2, and the two can be well mixed, and after mixing, it is sent into the burner 7 for combustion, which can improve the safety of gas mixing.

[0077] Figure 5 The flow chart of the combustion control method of the shuttle kiln applied to the natural gas hydrogen blending combustion is shown in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0078] S100, after the combustion air pipeline and the exhaust pipeline are normally operated, the control system controls the natural gas pipeline to supply gas and issues an ignition instruction to the ignition controller;
[0079] After the shuttle kiln is started, first, the combustion air pipeline and the exhaust pipeline are opened, and the normal operation of the air and smoke system in the furnace is maintained. Then, the control system issues a command to the combustion air pipeline, for example, by issuing a command to the combustion air electromagnetic regulating valve and the combustion air frequency converter controller to adjust the parameters of the combustion air. After that, the control system controls the natural gas pipeline to supply gas, for example, by issuing an opening command to the natural gas electromagnetic flow controller to make the natural gas pipeline supply gas, and the natural gas flows to the mixing pipeline. After the natural gas is supplied, the control system issues an ignition command to the ignition controller to ignite.
[0080] S200, the ignition controller controls the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve to open according to the ignition instruction, controls the burner to ignite according to the ignition instruction, and detects the combustion flame, and sends a feedback signal to the control system when the combustion flame is detected, and controls the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve to close when the combustion flame is not detected;
[0081] After the ignition controller receives the ignition instruction, the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve is controlled to open according to the ignition instruction, and the natural gas in the natural gas pipeline continues to flow to the burner from the mixing pipeline. Then, the burner is ignited according to the ignition instruction, and the natural gas and the combustion air are mixed in the burner. Under the action of the ignition electrode, the natural gas is ignited, and the combustion flame of the natural gas appears in the burner. The ignition controller detects the combustion flame, and sends a feedback signal to the control system when the combustion flame is detected, so as to control the hydrogen pipeline to supply gas, for example, by issuing an opening command to the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller and the hydrogen electromagnetic cut-off valve to make the hydrogen pipeline supply gas. If the combustion flame is not detected, it is in the state of extinguishing, and the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve is controlled to close to prevent gas leakage.
[0082] In addition, after the hydrogen is mixed into the natural gas, the ignition controller also detects in real time whether there is a combustion flame, and immediately controls the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve to close once it is found that there is no combustion flame.
[0083] S300, after receiving the feedback signal, the control system controls the hydrogen pipeline to supply gas to mix hydrogen and natural gas in the mixing pipeline to obtain hydrogen-mixed fuel gas. When the hydrogen-mixed fuel gas is burned, the supply amount of the natural gas pipeline, the hydrogen pipeline and the combustion air pipeline is controlled according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the hearth and the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve. The specific process of the control system for detecting the multi-dimensional real-time data of the hearth and generating the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve is basically the same as that of the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described here.
[0084] The control system controls the hydrogen pipeline to supply gas after receiving the feedback signal of the ignition controller, wherein the control system controls the hydrogen gas flow pressure to be greater than the natural gas flow pressure, so that the high-pressure high-speed hydrogen gas flow flows to the mixing pipeline and entrains and sucks the natural gas, realizes mixing with the natural gas, obtains hydrogen-doped fuel gas, and the hydrogen-doped fuel gas is burned in the burner. The natural gas of the embodiment is burned before the hydrogen, which can improve the safety of hydrogen mixed combustion.
[0085] When the hydrogen-doped fuel gas is burned, the temperature detector detects the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace, and converts the temperature signal into an electric signal and sends it to the control system. The control system also controls the gas supply amount of the natural gas pipeline, the hydrogen pipeline and the combustion air pipeline according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace and the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve, to realize intelligent, automatic and accurate control of the hydrogen mixing ratio, flow and combustion air volume.
[0086] Specifically, the control system controls the hydrogen pipeline to supply gas after receiving the feedback signal to mix natural gas and hydrogen in the mixing pipeline to obtain hydrogen-doped fuel gas, and controls the gas supply amount of the natural gas pipeline, the hydrogen pipeline and the combustion air pipeline according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace and the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve when the hydrogen-doped fuel gas is burned; wherein the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve is a curve of temperature, hydrogen mixing ratio, combustion air volume and pressure value parameters changing with time; the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve is a curve corresponding to the optimal firing effect obtained by training the machine learning algorithm according to the historical sintering data and the corresponding historical firing effect; the historical sintering data is the temperature, hydrogen mixing ratio, combustion air volume and pressure value collected during the firing process after each firing is completed; the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is the data of the temperature detector, flow meter, pressure sensor and flue gas analyzer received in real time; and the historical firing effect includes historical firing quality, historical energy consumption and historical pollutant emission. Wherein, the current temperature, current hydrogen mixing ratio, current combustion air volume and current pressure value of the furnace are compared with the corresponding parameters of the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve; and the current temperature, current hydrogen mixing ratio, current combustion air volume and current pressure value are adjusted according to the difference between the parameters.
[0087] Further, the above-mentioned control of the gas supply amount of the natural gas pipeline, the hydrogen pipeline and the combustion air pipeline according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace and the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve comprises:
[0088] comparing the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace with the corresponding temperature of the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve;
[0089] When the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is greater than the temperature corresponding to the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve, the hydrogen pipeline is controlled to reduce the hydrogen flow to a preset first minimum value according to the preset hydrogen mixing ratio, and after a preset time delay, the natural gas pipeline and the combustion air pipeline are controlled to reduce the natural gas flow and the combustion air flow to a preset second minimum value, until the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is equal to the temperature corresponding to the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve.
[0090] When the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is less than the temperature corresponding to the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve, the natural gas pipeline and the combustion air pipeline are controlled to increase the natural gas flow and the combustion air flow to a preset first maximum value, and after a preset time delay, the hydrogen pipeline is controlled to increase the hydrogen flow to a preset second maximum value according to the preset hydrogen mixing ratio, until the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is equal to the parameter in the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve.
[0091] For example, for temperature adjustment, the parameter value is adjusted according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace, such as when the temperature is low, an instruction is sent to the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller to adjust the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller so that the hydrogen flow is reduced, the hydrogen pipeline reduces the hydrogen flow to a preset first minimum value according to the preset hydrogen mixing ratio, and after a preset time delay, for example, a delay of 0.5-1 seconds, an instruction is sent to the natural gas electromagnetic flow controller and the combustion air controller to adjust the natural gas electromagnetic flow controller and the combustion air controller so that the natural gas flow and the combustion air are both reduced, until the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is equal to the temperature corresponding to the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve.
[0092] Conversely, when the temperature in the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is less than the temperature corresponding to the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve, first, an instruction is sent to the natural gas electromagnetic flow controller and the combustion air controller to adjust the natural gas electromagnetic flow controller and the combustion air controller so that the natural gas flow and the combustion air are both increased to a preset first maximum value, and after a preset time delay, for example, a delay of 0.5-1 seconds, an instruction is sent to the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller to adjust the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller so that the hydrogen flow is increased, and the hydrogen pipeline increases the hydrogen flow to a preset second maximum value according to the preset hydrogen mixing ratio, until the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace is equal to the temperature corresponding to the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve, so that intelligent, automatic and accurate control of the hydrogen mixing ratio can be achieved according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the furnace and the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve.
[0093] In addition, considering the danger of hydrogen, the embodiment adopts a "retreat first and advance later" control strategy for the supply and control of hydrogen. When the temperature in the hearth is reduced, the hydrogen flow is first reduced, and then the natural gas and combustion air flow is reduced. When the temperature in the hearth is increased, the natural gas and combustion air flow is first increased, and then the hydrogen flow is increased. The "retreat first and advance later" control strategy can avoid hydrogen leakage and further ensure the safety and stability of combustion.
[0094] Further, the above-mentioned control of the supply amount of the natural gas pipeline, the hydrogen pipeline and the combustion air pipeline according to the multi-dimensional real-time data of the hearth and the multi-dimensional dynamic firing parameter curve further comprises:
[0095] When the shuttle kiln is shut down, the control system controls the hydrogen pipeline to gradually reduce the hydrogen flow to the first minimum value, then controls the hydrogen pipeline to stop supplying gas until the hydrogen flow in the hydrogen pipeline is zero, delays for the preset time, and then controls the natural gas pipeline to reduce the natural gas flow until the natural gas flow is zero.
[0096] When the shuttle kiln is shut down, the embodiment corresponds to the operation of reducing the multi-dimensional real-time data of the hearth. First, the hydrogen flow is gradually reduced to zero, and then the natural gas and combustion air flow is gradually reduced to zero. The control of the hydrogen flow also adopts a "retreat first" control strategy, which can avoid hydrogen leakage and further ensure the safety and stability of combustion.
[0097] In addition, when the shuttle kiln is shut down, the ignition controller also detects the combustion flame. When no combustion flame is detected, the fuel cut-off electromagnetic valve is automatically closed to ensure that no fuel enters the burner.
[0098] For example, in a certain gas ceramic shuttle kiln, the hydrogen gas is supplied and burned separately, and the burner head is mixed. In the working condition adjustment, a safety control strategy of "closing first and opening later" is adopted for hydrogen. When the ceramic shuttle kiln is normally fired, the instantaneous flow of natural gas is 40 Nm 3 / h, the hydrogen mixing ratio is set to 32%, the control system gradually adjusts the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller to the set value of 19 Nm 3 / h, at this time the actual hydrogen mixing ratio is 32.2%, and the thermocouple measures the temperature as 1260°C, and the firing temperature of the ceramic product is 1280°C. As the combustion temperature increases, when the thermocouple measures the temperature of 1285°C, which exceeds the firing temperature, the control system first adjusts the hydrogen electromagnetic flow controller parameter to the set value of 4.71 Nm 3 / h, after a delay of 0.5-1 seconds, the control system adjusts the natural gas electromagnetic flow controller parameter to the set value of 10 Nm 3The hydrogen mixing ratio is maintained at 32%, and the safety strategy of hydrogen closing first and opening later is realized, and the carbon dioxide emission of the shuttle kiln is reduced by 11.42%.
