Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial automation control technology, and more specifically to a steam pressure adaptive control system and method based on a self-learning model. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring stringent steam pressure stability, such as liquor brewing, fine chemicals, and biopharmaceuticals. Background Technology

[0002] Steam pressure control is a critical aspect of industrial production, and traditional control schemes suffer from the following technical shortcomings: 1. Poor adaptability of nonlinear actuators: Non-proportional control valves (which cost only 40% of proportional valves) often have control errors exceeding ±0.003MPa when using standard PID algorithms due to the nonlinearity of their flow curves, which cannot meet the requirements for high precision. 2. The debugging process relies on human experience: The structural differences of different equipment (such as the bottom pot of the still and the reaction vessel) mean that the PID parameters need to be repeatedly debugged. The debugging cycle of a single device generally takes 2 to 6 hours depending on the debugging experience of the debugging personnel, and it is easy to cause overshoot or oscillation due to insufficient experience of the operators. 3. Dynamic response lag: In order to ensure control accuracy, when the target control pressure is adjusted within a large range (such as the pressure suddenly increasing from 0.035MPa to 0.12MPa during the grain steaming stage), the PID tuning time exceeds about 23% of the theoretical valve action time, resulting in a delay in the process cycle.

[0003] Current technologies primarily optimize PID performance through parameter self-tuning or improve control accuracy and tuning efficiency using fuzzy PID or cascade PID methods. However, they fail to address the control overshoot and response lag caused by the nonlinearity of non-proportional control valves. To further improve control accuracy, proportional control valves are often relied upon, which are costly. Therefore, a steam pressure control technology that balances high accuracy, low cost, and ease of adjustment is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

And store it in the power-loss retained data area; S3, Real-time calculation of pressure deviation ( );when Time; through formula Dynamically adjust the integral coefficient; output adjustment commands.

[0012] In one implementation, in step S2, the pressure acquisition time for each segment is ≥3s.

[0013] In one implementation, in step S1, the opening degree (0, 100%) of the non-proportional regulating valve is divided into 10 segments in 10% increments; the specific segmentation is as follows: Segment 1: 0%~10%; Segment 2: 10%~20%; ...; Segment i: (i-1)×10% ~ i×10%; ...; Segment 10: 90%~100%; Sampling strategy: Select 3 sampling points (n=3) evenly within each opening interval; and sample data at 0%, 50% and 100% of each step size, respectively.

[0031] The steady-state error of the steam pressure in the steam pipeline is ≤ ±0.001 MPa, and the overshoot frequency is ≤ 1 time / month. Example 2 This embodiment provides a steam pressure adaptive control method based on a self-learning model, including the following steps: S1. Divide the opening (0, 100%) of the non-proportional regulating valve into 10 equal segments in 10% increments, or into multiple segments of varying lengths; fit the pressure equations for each segment using the least squares method. ; S2.

[0032] In step S2, the pressure acquisition time for each segment is ≥3s.

[0033] In step S1, the opening degree (0, 100%) of the non-proportional regulating valve is divided into 10 equal segments in 10% increments; the specific segmentation is as follows: Segment 1: 0%~10%; Segment 2: 10%~20%; ...; Segment i: (i-1)×10% ~ i×10%; ...; Segment 10: 90%~100%; Sampling strategy: Select 3 sampling points (n=3) evenly within each opening interval; and sample data at 0%, 50% and 100% of each step size, respectively.

Full stroke scan: The control valve moves in 10% increments from 0% to 100% and back to 0%; within each increment, the learning is divided into three segments (0% to 50% to 100%); the dwell time for each segment is t=3s (to ensure pressure stability); the stable pressure value for each segment is recorded. ); Data calculation and storage: Stable pressure values ​​for each segment ( Recording completes and triggers the calculation logic; calculates the linear slope of each segment. ) and intercept term ( And record; synchronously set the learning completion status and reset the learning button, and all data and status are recorded in the power-off retention data storage area; This solution features an adaptive dynamic adjustment mechanism: Mechanism Overview: The dynamic adjustment mechanism is the core element for achieving precise pressure control. By combining a piecewise linearization model with a fuzzy integral compensation strategy, it enables real-time optimization of valve opening. Its core logic is: to activate different control modes based on the target pressure; to trigger the compensation mechanism through valve position feedback and pressure deviation grading; and ultimately to eliminate static errors and avoid system oscillations.

[0036] Core control logic: Target pressure judgment and initial opening calculation are as follows: Mode 1: When the target pressure is 0 ( ), directly output valve opening command Cut off the steam supply; ensure the system has no flow output; Mode 2: When the target pressure is greater than 0 ( According to the target pressure Query the piecewise linearized model (see the previous 10-segment division); determine its openness interval. (For example; if) The corresponding steam pressure is in the fifth pressure range; therefore, match the fifth range (40%~50%), and then call the... The linear model of the segment calculates the initial valve opening:

[0037] First point; closed-loop adjustment of valve position, as follows: Feedback deviation judgment: Real-time acquisition of valve position feedback values ; Calculate the deviation:

[0038] Adjust trigger conditions: when (Opening deviation threshold; can be adjusted according to valve mechanical precision; recommended range 0.5%~2%); only the initial opening value is executed; no integral compensation is introduced; when At that time, the pressure deviation compensation stage begins; the fuzzy integral compensation algorithm is activated.

[0039] Second point: Fuzzy integral compensation strategy, as follows: Dynamic integral compensation activation condition: After the valve position closed-loop regulation reaches the target ( ); and based on the actual terminal feedback pressure deviation ( When introducing time-varying integral coefficients. Dynamically correct valve opening; adjust terminal pressure to the set target requirement; and achieve steady-state operating conditions; Dynamic integral compensation exit mechanism: To avoid frequent valve operation under small pressure fluctuations, which could lead to mechanical wear or system oscillation; a compensation exit condition is set; when the real-time pressure deviation meets the condition...
