The raw materials for sintering process are various, mainly divided into iron materials, fluxes and fuels. Each kind of raw material has multiple suppliers, and the origins and qualities of the raw materials supplied by each supplier are not the same. Even the products of the same supplier will change in quality due to changes in ore veins and changes in processing and production processes, and the change in the quality of the raw materials will inevitably lead to fluctuations in the quality of the sinter.

[0004] However, the existing raw materials for sinter production are difficult to locate after being unloaded into the steel enterprise due to the subsequent transfer and storage processes. The previous sinter production process was adjusted according to the average physical and chemical properties of the raw materials at a certain stage, which had a certain gap with the actual quality of the raw materials, and could not be accurately adjusted. The stable range of sinter quality was wide, and it could not meet the needs of lower fuel consumption, higher smoothness and lower cost of blast furnaces. SUMMARY

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the sintering production raw material quality tracking method in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the raw material receiving, unloading and transfer platform system in the embodiment of the present application; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present application will be further described in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, and these drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, which only schematically show the basic structure of the present application, and therefore only show the structures related to the present application.

[0017] In embodiment one, the cumulative metering unit of the raw material is taken as a marker, and the raw material in the sintering production process is positioned from entering the steel enterprise to the sinter production process according to the principle of "first in first out", and the production organization adjustment is carried out according to the actual physical and chemical properties of the raw material, so as to ensure that the sintering production adjustment process can be accurately adjusted according to the quality of the raw material.

[0018] As shown in Figure 1 A sintering production raw material quality tracking method based on cumulative metering, the specific scheme is as follows: taking the cumulative metering unit of the raw material after receiving and unloading as a marker, and making the marker correspond to the test batch number and the test results represented by the test batch number; positioning the raw material variety classification; according to the cumulative metering value of the raw material variety in the batching process, obtaining the test batch number corresponding to the metering value and the test results corresponding to the test batch number, and feeding back to the sintering production process control system; and then analyzing the influence of the raw material quality according to the accumulated production data, optimizing the sintering production process control parameters and the raw material quality requirements.

[0019] The above-mentioned raw materials after unloading follow the principle of "first in, first out" and are used according to the unloading order; all raw material varieties are measured as zero before initial unloading in different transfer equipment; the measurement value is accumulated after starting to unload and use; the accumulated measurement value is used as a marker of the raw material variety, and the marker corresponds to the test batch number and the test result represented by the test batch number.

[0020] Specifically, the raw material is measured as zero before initial unloading, and the measurement value is accumulated after unloading and use; the raw material after unloading is used according to the unloading order; the accumulated measurement value is used as a marker of the raw material variety, and the marker corresponds to the test batch number and the test result represented by the test batch number; when new raw material is unloaded, the accumulated measurement value corresponding to the raw material is a continuation of the accumulated measurement value of the same variety of raw material before, and corresponds to a unique test batch number.

[0021] For example: 35,000 tons of limestone powder are unloaded in total, and 3,000 tons of limestone powder are being unloaded from a ship, and the test batch number corresponding to the ship is XXXXXX; therefore, the test batch number of limestone powder from 35,001 tons to 38,000 tons is XXXXXX, and the test batch number corresponding to the accumulated measurement value of 35,001 tons to 38,000 tons of limestone powder unloaded by the subsequent transfer equipment is XXXXXX, that is, the corresponding test batch numbers are the same.

[0022] During the transfer of raw materials, the variety classification is performed according to the system (transfer system) that is started and stopped and the position where the last transfer equipment is stopped, and the accumulated tonnage segment of the variety of raw material unloaded into the corresponding storage bin since entering into use is recorded.

[0023] Taking fuel in raw materials as an example: after starting the fuel unloading system, the unloading car stops at No. 9 storage bin, the system determines that the raw material is fuel, and records the accumulated tonnage segment of the variety of fuel unloaded into No. 9 storage bin since entering into use in the steel enterprise.

[0024] During the production process of the sintering process, according to the accumulated measurement value of the raw material variety being used fed back by the batching scale of the batching process, the test batch number corresponding to the measurement value and the test result corresponding to the test batch number are found, and are fed back to the sintering production process control system; the sintering production manager accurately adjusts the production process parameters according to the real-time physical and chemical properties of each raw material variety, so as to meet the best technical quality requirements of the sinter.

[0025] In the production process control system, the accumulated production data is analyzed for the influence of raw material quality, and the sintering production process control parameters and raw material quality requirements are optimized. By obtaining the accumulated measurement value of the raw material, the corresponding test result and the sintering production data, the accumulated production data is analyzed for the influence of raw material quality, and the sintering production process control parameters and raw material quality requirements are optimized.

[0026] In summary, the present application can solve the problem of multiple sources of solid raw materials in the sinter production process, the objective quality difference of raw materials, and the quality positioning and tracing of raw materials affecting the quality of sinter. The sintering process can be adjusted in time and accurately according to the quality of the raw materials.

[0027] In order to facilitate the control and management of the use process of the raw materials, the present application further proposes to establish a raw material unloading and transfer platform system.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2 The raw material unloading and transfer platform system includes a metering module, a storage module, a positioning module, and a data interaction module. The storage module is used to store the test batch number, test results, and corresponding cumulative metering units of the raw materials.

[0029] The metering module is used to accumulate the metering value during the use process of the raw materials, and generate the cumulative metering units of the raw materials. The metering module can accumulate the metering value of different types of raw materials respectively, and the initial metering value of each type of raw material is zero.

[0030] The positioning module is used to classify and position the raw materials according to the start and stop states of the transfer system and the position of the last transfer device, and record the cumulative tonnage section. The positioning module can track the position information of the transfer device in real time during the transfer process of the raw materials, and store the position information associated with the type of raw materials and the cumulative tonnage section.

[0031] The data interaction module is used to interact with the batching metering scale and the sintering production process control system, and feed back the test batch number and test results corresponding to the cumulative metering value to the sintering production process control system.

[0032] Since the existing technologies such as the metering module, the storage module, the positioning module, and the data interaction module are relatively mature, their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The transfer system in the present application is an automatic control system for controlling and managing the raw materials from unloading to transfer to each link of the sintering process. Its core function is to realize the orderly flow of raw materials according to the "first-in first-out" principle by controlling the start and stop of the transfer equipment, and to provide key operation basis for raw material positioning.

[0034] The system usually includes hardware and software: the hardware involves driving and sensing devices of belt conveyors, unloading cars, transfer chutes, and storage chutes, etc., which are used to perform physical transfer operations of raw materials; the software receives raw material unloading plans, cumulative metering data, etc. through a logic control module, and automatically or semi-automatically controls the start and stop timing of the transfer equipment to ensure that the previous batch of raw materials is used first, and then the next batch of transfer process is started.

[0035] At the same time, the transfer system can record the start-stop state of the equipment in each transfer operation in real time (such as which group of belts is started, the unloading car is parked in which number of ore storage bin, etc.), and associate these information with the cumulative metering value of the raw material, the test batch number, to provide accurate process data support for subsequent raw material positioning and quality traceability.

[0036] For example, when a batch of limestone powder (test batch number XXXXXX) is unloaded, the start-stop transfer system will start the transfer equipment of the corresponding ore storage bin according to the "first-in first-out" principle when the sintering batching needs to use limestone powder. When the cumulative metering value range of this batch of limestone powder is used up, the current transfer equipment is automatically stopped, and the transfer equipment of the next batch of ore storage bin is started, thereby realizing the orderliness and traceability of the raw material flow.

[0037] The above-mentioned transfer equipment includes an unloading car. When the unloading system is started and the unloading car is stopped at a specific ore storage bin, the system determines that the raw material is the corresponding variety, and records the cumulative tonnage section of the variety of raw material unloaded into the ore storage bin.

[0038] Among them, the raw material unloading and transfer platform system is the core carrier to realize raw material positioning, traceability and "first-in first-out" flow, and its functions cover the whole process from raw material unloading, transfer to sintering use, including: establishing a raw material cumulative metering system (taking cumulative tonnage as a marker); associating metering value with test batch number and quality data; controlling the start-stop logic of the transfer equipment to ensure the execution of the "first-in first-out" principle; recording the equipment state in the transfer process (such as the unloading car parking position, the ore storage bin number, etc.), realizing the raw material positioning; linkage with the sintering production process control system to feedback real-time quality data to support process adjustment.

[0039] The unloading system is a subsystem responsible for the initial unloading link of raw materials in the "raw material unloading and transfer platform system", which belongs to the hardware execution part. Its functions mainly include: performing physical unloading operation of raw materials (such as receiving raw materials from transport vehicles, ships); starting or stopping unloading equipment (such as unloading machines, conveyors, etc.) according to the instructions of the platform system; feeding back the unloading progress to the platform system to provide basic data for cumulative metering.

[0040] For example, when a batch of limestone powder arrives at the factory, the "unloading system" is responsible for unloading it from the transport ship to the temporary storage point in the factory area, and the "raw material unloading and transfer platform system" simultaneously records the unloading amount, associates the test batch number, and plans the subsequent transfer path.

[0041] In summary, the present application can be applied to all steel enterprises using solid raw materials in the sintering process. By taking the raw material accumulation measurement unit as a marker, the raw material is accurately positioned in the sintering production process, the sintering production adjustment process can be accurately adjusted according to the raw material quality, the sinter quality stability is improved, which is beneficial to the stable and smooth operation of the blast furnace, and the smelting cost is reduced.

[0042] The application can improve the quality of sintered ore products in the process of long process smelting of blast furnace, and is beneficial to the quality control of process products sintered ore. The application makes the quality control and adjustment of sintered ore traceable, accurately adjusts the parameters of the sintering production process according to the quality requirements of sintered ore, avoids the influence of sintered ore quality fluctuation on blast furnace smelting, improves the smoothness of blast furnace, and reduces the cost of molten iron.
