[0002] Balancing drying efficiency and final quality is a key challenge in the drying process of seahorses. Traditional drying control methods usually rely on open-loop control based on preset time or fixed parameters, which cannot detect the internal moisture migration status of the material in real time.

This control method lacks the ability to respond to and adapt to the real-time state of the material. Therefore, how to construct a closed-loop control system that can sense the internal state in real time and dynamically match the external drying potential with the internal moisture migration capacity to solve the contradiction between drying efficiency and quality has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

If the condition is true, the system will switch; the first condition is: internal water migration flux. Greater than the preset migration throughput activation threshold ; The migration flux activation threshold is a preset lower limit value, measured in kg / s; this condition is used to prevent migration flux activation during the initial drying stage. At extremely low levels, signal noise fluctuations cause It prevents misjudgments caused by instantaneous negative values; it ensures that the system only detects peak values when the drying process is already activated.
[0075] The second condition is: flux change rate. Sensitivity for peak values less than preset ; That is, the flux change rate is The first derivative of , with dimensions of kg / s²; The peak value sensitivity is a preset, usually near-zero negative value, measured in kg / s²; its technical motivation lies in: At the peak point, its derivative is 0; after passing the peak point, its derivative becomes negative; therefore, this condition is used for stable detection. It has already surpassed its peak and begun a downward trend;

The optimal value;
[0099] Its value ranges from 0 to 1; when When the value is close to 1, such as 0.99, the system attempts to maintain the rate of the previous cycle, employing the most aggressive drying strategy, suitable for the initial stage of drying when the internal moisture supply is sufficient; when... When the value is relatively small, such as 0.90, the system forced rate drops rapidly, the drying strategy becomes conservative, and it is suitable for the end of the drying process. At this time, the internal migration ability is weakened, and over-drying should be prevented.
[0100] To achieve optimal control throughout the drying process It can also be set to the internal water migration flux. Piecewise functions; for example, when When it is high, set a higher value. ;when After dropping to a certain threshold, it automatically switches to a lower one. ;
[0101] This embodiment is illustrated by... The calibration and flexible settings provide a high degree of tunability for the drying strategy; the operator can precisely control the drying based on the characteristics of the hippocampus and the drying stage. The decay rate is controlled to maximize the drying rate while strictly avoiding quality damage, thus achieving a fine balance between drying efficiency and quality.
