[0040] wherein: , adaptive calculation (related to the flow state)

[0041] Mesh and calculation settings: 0.06m mesh size, total mesh number≥110 million; calculation step 0.04s, total calculation time 12s (to ensure that the flow field reaches dynamic balance); SIMPLEC algorithm is used for flow field solution.

[0042] In application, the boundary conditions of the three-phase flow model are set as: The initial molten steel depth in the ladle is 3.15m, the slag thickness is 0.1m, and the initial temperature is 1973K; Argon blowing adopts DPM argon bubble particle bottom injection into the ladle, the total argon flow rate is 0.006kg / s, and the average bubble diameter is 0.02m; The ladle wall is a non-slip wall, and a standard wall function is used. The model outlet is the upper surface of the ladle, which is a pressure outlet.

[0043] In application, the fluid domain solution of the fluid-structure coupling model is carried out in the Fluent module, the solid domain (ladle wall) solution is carried out in the transient structure (Transient structural) module, and the coupling interface data is interacted through the System coupling module; The fluid-structure coupling interface satisfies the stress, displacement, heat flow and temperature continuity, i.e. wherein subscript f represents fluid, and s represents solid.

[0044] The ladle wall is regarded as a homogeneous isotropic elastic body, and the influence of temperature on mechanical parameters is ignored; the Young's modulus of the ladle wall refractory material , wherein normal stress ​For normal strain, the erosion degree from slight to severe is simulated by changing the value of E (290-300 MPa).

[0046] In one embodiment, after collecting the real vibration acceleration signal of the ladle wall during the ladle argon blowing process, the method further comprises: wavelet threshold denoising the real vibration acceleration signal; performing continuous wavelet transform time-frequency analysis on the denoised signal, and extracting a specific vibration amplitude from the time-frequency analysis result.

[0047] In application, after collecting the real vibration acceleration signal, the signal is subjected to wavelet threshold denoising to remove noise interference, and then the denoised signal is subjected to continuous wavelet transform time-frequency analysis, and a specific vibration amplitude is extracted from the result as a characteristic value. For wavelet threshold denoising, a threshold determination method based on unbiased likelihood estimation can be used, and for continuous wavelet transform, a Morlet mother wavelet function can be used for multi-scale decomposition.

[0048] The embodiment of the application adds the steps of wavelet threshold denoising and continuous wavelet transform time-frequency analysis before signal extraction. In view of the non-stationary characteristics of the vibration signal, wavelet denoising can effectively filter Gaussian noise, and time-frequency analysis can focus on the high-frequency components in the rising stage of the bubble flow; the limitations of traditional Fourier transform in non-stationary signals are avoided, the accuracy of vibration amplitude extraction is ensured, and the sensitivity and anti-interference ability of erosion judgment are improved.

[0049] In one embodiment, the wavelet threshold denoising comprises: filtering noise using a hard threshold function; wherein the threshold of the hard threshold function is determined by unbiased likelihood estimation.

[0050] In application, the wavelet threshold denoising process comprises filtering noise coefficients using a hard threshold function, wherein the threshold is calculated by an unbiased likelihood estimation method. For the hard threshold function, the absolute value of the wavelet coefficient is set to zero when it is less than the threshold, otherwise it is retained. For unbiased likelihood estimation, the threshold point can be determined by sorting the square of the absolute value of the signal and minimizing the risk function.

[0051] In application, the threshold is determined by using the unbiased likelihood estimation (rigrsure) wherein , is the risk function the order number of the minimum; The noise coefficients are filtered by using the hard threshold function: wherein the wavelet coefficient.

[0052] In application, the Morlet mother wavelet is used in the continuous wavelet transform time-frequency analysis, and the expression is wherein is the central angular frequency; the characteristic amplitude is the vibration amplitude corresponding to the scale 2 in the wavelet transform, and the scale corresponds to the actual frequency 40.625 Hz.

[0053] The embodiments of the application limit the wavelet threshold denoising to use the hard threshold function and the unbiased likelihood estimation to determine the threshold. The unbiased likelihood estimation can adaptively calculate the optimal threshold according to the signal characteristics, and reduce the deviation caused by subjective setting. The hard threshold function retains the effective signal mutation point when denoising, and avoids the signal distortion caused by the soft threshold function. The combination improves the robustness of the denoising process, and lays a clean data foundation for feature extraction.

[0054] In one embodiment, the specific vibration amplitude is the vibration amplitude of the characteristic frequency generated when the bubble flow initially impacts the package wall.

[0055] In application, the specific vibration amplitude corresponds to the vibration component of the characteristic frequency generated when the bubble flow initially impacts the package wall, and the frequency component is directly related to the change of the package wall stiffness. For the characteristic frequency, the frequency band near 40.625 Hz corresponding to the focusing scale 2, and for the amplitude extraction, the maximum value or the average value of the wavelet transform coefficient at the scale can be read.

[0056] In application, the vibration amplitude corresponding to the scale 2 in the wavelet transform (the scale corresponds to the high-frequency characteristics of the initial impact of the bubble flow, and is most sensitive to the erosion degree) is extracted. After obtaining the vibration amplitude corresponding to the scale 2 in the wavelet transform corresponding to different Young's moduli, a linear correlation model of the specific vibration amplitude and the Young's modulus can be obtained by linear regression analysis: ; wherein, the model parameters: a=0.5178±0.02786, b=−9.33333×10 −4 ±9.42809×10 −5 .

[0057] Model accuracy: residual sum of squares ≤8×10 -7, the correlation coefficient is less than or equal to -0.98995, and the determination coefficient is greater than or equal to 0.98 (indicating that the linear correlation is extremely strong).

[0058] The embodiment of the application clearly specifies that a specific vibration amplitude corresponds to the characteristic frequency of the initial impact of the bubble flow, and the frequency component directly reflects the instantaneous mechanical action of the bubble flow on the ladle wall, which is strongly related to the change in the stiffness of the refractory material; focusing on this characteristic frequency avoids the redundancy of full-band analysis, making the monitoring index more targeted and sensitive, thereby enabling early identification of minor erosion and preventing potential safety accidents.

[0059] In one embodiment, the determination of the erosion degree of the ladle wall based on the actual Young's modulus includes determining the erosion degree of the ladle wall based on the degree of decrease of the actual Young's modulus compared to the initial Young's modulus, specifically including: When the degree of decrease of the actual Young's modulus compared to the initial Young's modulus is in the interval of 5% to 10%, it is determined as slight erosion; When the degree of decrease of the actual Young's modulus compared to the initial Young's modulus is in the interval of 10% to 20%, it is determined as moderate erosion; When the degree of decrease of the actual Young's modulus compared to the initial Young's modulus exceeds 20%, it is determined as severe erosion.

[0060] In application, the determination of the erosion degree of the ladle wall based on the actual Young's modulus is realized by calculating the percentage decrease of the Young's modulus compared to the initial value, for example, a decrease of 5% to 10% is slight erosion, a decrease of 10% to 20% is moderate erosion, and a decrease exceeding 20% is severe erosion. For the calculation of the percentage decrease, the formula (initial value - actual value) / initial value x 100% can be used, and for the judgment standard, a threshold trigger can be set to output a warning signal.

[0061] The embodiment of the application quantifies the erosion judgment standard by the degree of decrease of the Young's modulus, which quantifies the abstract erosion state, such as the levels of slight, moderate, and severe, providing clear and operable decision-making basis. This quantification method is convenient for integration into an automatic system to realize real-time early warning and maintenance scheduling, thereby improving the refinement and intelligence level of ladle management.

[0062] In one embodiment, the collection of the real vibration acceleration signal is realized by a vibration sensor installed on the outside of the ladle wall.

[0063] In application, the collection of the real vibration acceleration signal is realized by a vibration sensor, which is installed on the outside of the ladle wall to avoid the influence of high-temperature corrosion environment. For sensor deployment, magnetic attraction or bolt fixation can be used to ensure stable contact, and for signal transmission, shielded cable can be used to connect the data acquisition system to reduce interference.

[0064] The collecting mode of the embodiment of the application avoids damage of high temperature and corrosion inside the ladle to the sensor, prolongs the service life of the equipment, simplifies the deployment and maintenance process through outside installation, reduces the implementation cost, and ensures the continuity of signal collection, so that the method has high feasibility and popularization value in an industrial field.

[0065] In one embodiment, a model verification step is further included: Specifically, a 1:3 scale water model of the ladle (water replaces molten steel, and air replaces argon) is built, the bubble flow pattern and ladle wall vibration data in the water model are collected, and the calculation results of the multiphase flow model and the fluid-structure coupling model are compared to verify the accuracy of the model.

[0066] In one embodiment, the implementation process of the application is further described in combination with specific experimental data: Among them, the experimental device and parameter settings are as follows: Ladle prototype: effective volume corresponding to molten steel depth 3.15m, slag thickness 0.1m; Numerical simulation tool: ANSYS Workbench (including Fluent, Transient structural, Systemcoupling modules); Argon blowing parameters: argon flow rate 0.006kg / s, bubble diameter 0.02m, argon blowing time 12s; Vibration signal collection: sampling frequency 81.25Hz, collection period 0~2s (bubble flow rising stage); Young's modulus variable: 5 groups of experiments are set, E is 300GPa, 297GPa, 294GPa, 291GPa respectively.

[0067] Among them, the multiphase flow model verification is as follows: The molten steel flow field streamline is calculated by Fluent: when argon blowing starts, the bubble flow drives the molten steel to form a local circulation, the streamline is in the form of "small vortex" above the gas permeable roller, and the molten steel mainly flows in the bottom area; with the rising of the bubble flow, the streamline gradually extends upward, the range expands, the molten steel is sucked from the bottom to the upper part, and the top molten steel also starts to participate in the circulation, and the mixing is more complete; finally, the streamline tends to be regular and symmetrical, forming a "columnar" circulation through the lower part of the ladle, the flow path is stable, and the flow field gradually reaches dynamic balance (as shown in Figure 2 , which is consistent with the bubble flow pattern of the 1:3 water model experiment (as shown in FIG. 6), verifying the accuracy of the multiphase flow model.

[0068] Among them, the vibration signal analysis is as follows: Wavelet analysis is performed on the vibration acceleration signals of the 5 groups of experiments: Wavelet transform results (asFigure 4 0~0.125s, a high amplitude region (0.7~0.8Hz) appears (initial bubble impact), 0.125~0.25s, amplitude decreases, 0.25s later, the signal tends to be stable; Vibration amplitude extraction: the amplitude A corresponding to scale 2 is 0.238m / s 2 (E=300GPa), 0.240m / s 2 (E=297GPa), 0.244m / s 2 (E=294GPa), 0.246m / s 2 (E=291GPa), the amplitude increases linearly with the decrease of E; Linear model fitting: E=0.5178±0.02786 A, residual sum of squares , correlation coefficient-0.98995, the accuracy meets the requirements (as shown in FIG. 8).

[0069] Wherein, the actual erosion judgment example is as follows: A steel plant 130t ladle field monitoring: Collect vibration signals, wavelet analysis shows that the amplitude A corresponding to scale 2 is 0.243m / s 2 ; Substituting the linear model: E=0.5178-9.33333×10 -4 -0.243≈290.5GPa; Erosion degree judgment: initial E=300GPa, decrease amplitude≈3.2%, determined as slight erosion, it is suggested to maintain the current argon blowing parameters, and monitor again after 10 furnace times.
