Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tobacco primary processing, more specifically to loose conditioning inlet hot air temperature prediction control technology, and particularly to a loose conditioning inlet hot air temperature prediction control method combining pattern recognition PID control. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the tobacco primary processing, loose conditioning is a crucial temperature and humidity increasing link, which aims to increase the temperature and moisture content of tobacco sheets, so as to make them soft and loose to meet the requirements of subsequent processing. The stability and control accuracy of loose conditioning inlet hot air temperature directly determine the processing quality, sensory quality of tobacco sheets and production efficiency of subsequent processes.

[0003] At present, the traditional PID control method is generally used for the control of loose conditioning inlet hot air temperature. However, the production process has the characteristics of large thermal inertia, pure lag, nonlinearity and variable working conditions, which makes the traditional control method face severe challenges, which are embodied in the following aspects: Control lag and insufficient dynamic response: The loose conditioning process is a complex heat and mass exchange process. There is a large time delay from adjusting the steam valve opening to the change of inlet hot air temperature. The traditional PID controller relies on the current and past errors for adjustment and cannot predict the future temperature change trend, which leads to a "slow half step" response to disturbances, resulting in a large overshoot and a long adjustment time. Especially in the working condition switching stage of material head and tail, the temperature fluctuation is particularly obvious.

[0004] Fixed model and poor adaptability to working conditions: The parameters of the existing PID control are usually fixed or depend on experience for a limited number of preset switches. However, complex factors such as differences in raw material batches (such as tobacco leaves from different places and grades), changes in environmental temperature and humidity, fluctuations in steam pressure, and equipment aging will change the dynamic characteristics of the controlled object. Fixed PID parameters cannot adapt to these changes, resulting in a sharp decline in control performance under another working condition and poor robustness.

[0005] Single control strategy and insufficient use of process information: The existing control method is mostly single-loop feedback control, and its control quality depends heavily on the timeliness and accuracy of the feedback signal. Although some research has tried to introduce advanced methods such as fuzzy control and decoupling control, in actual application, there is a lack of deep mining and utilization of rich historical data and real-time running data. For example, the dynamic mode characteristics of different production stages (such as material head accelerated heating, steady-state heating, and material tail cooling) are not effectively identified and utilized, and multiple related variables such as steam flow, environmental humidity, and material flow are not systematically integrated and forward adjusted, and the intelligent degree of the control strategy is insufficient. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims at the above-mentioned problems existing at present, and provides a loose moisture regaining machine inlet hot air temperature prediction control method combining pattern recognition PID control.

[0007] The technical solution of the present application is as follows: A loose moisture regaining machine inlet hot air temperature prediction control method combining pattern recognition PID control comprises the following steps: Collecting historical data in the production process of the loose moisture regaining machine and pre-processing to construct a training data set; the historical data includes inlet hot air temperature, steam flow, inlet material moisture content and scale instantaneous flow; Based on the training data set, a pattern recognition model is used to identify multiple working condition modes including head, steady state and tail of the loose moisture regaining machine in the running process, and dynamic characteristics related to PID parameter setting are extracted; A dynamic PID parameter mapping model is constructed, which takes dynamic characteristics and real-time process variables as input and outputs real-time optimized PID parameter groups (Kp, Ki, Kd); , , ); An optimization algorithm is used to perform online real-time optimization on the PID parameters output by the dynamic PID parameter mapping model, and the optimization target is to minimize the error between the hot air temperature set value and the actual value; The optimized PID parameters are used to perform prediction control on the inlet hot air temperature of the loose moisture regaining machine, and the control model is corrected based on the real-time feedback temperature data.

[0008] Through the above method, the control precision is significantly improved: through pattern recognition, the working condition change is predicted in advance, and the dynamic PID model is used for accurate parameter setting, which can stabilize the steady state control deviation of the inlet hot air temperature within ±0.5℃, which is much better than the traditional PID control.

[0009] Further, the optimization algorithm is a particle swarm optimization PSO algorithm; the objective function of the optimization target is: , Wherein, the hot air temperature set value, the actual value of the hot air temperature, the steam flow, the weight coefficient.

[0010] Through the above method, the robustness is significantly enhanced: due to the adoption of real-time data-based pattern recognition and online parameter optimization (PSO) mechanism, the application can automatically adapt to different brands of tobacco leaves, changes in environmental humidity, equipment state drift and other complex working conditions, and shows strong self-adaptive ability and robustness.

[0011] Further, the pattern recognition model is a long short-term memory network (LSTM) model; the dynamic features include the instantaneous slope of the inlet hot air temperature, the peak time of the temperature change curve, and the temperature fluctuation amplitude within a time window.

[0012] Further, the pattern recognition model is also used to identify abnormal working condition patterns caused by steam pressure fluctuations or material flow mutations.

[0013] Further, the dynamic PID parameter mapping model is a multi-layer perception (MLP) neural network model, and the input further includes environmental humidity and hot air fan frequency.

[0014] Further, the target function further introduces a constraint term related to the quality of the tobacco sheet, and the constraint term is the variance of the outlet tobacco sheet moisture content predicted based on process data.

[0015] Further, the trigger condition for correcting the control model is that the deviation between the actual value and the model predicted value of the hot air temperature continuously exceeds the preset threshold for a set time length.

[0016] The application also includes an electronic device comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements a loose conditioning machine inlet hot air temperature prediction control method combined with pattern recognition PID control when executing the program.

[0017] The application also includes a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the program is executed by a processor to implement a loose conditioning machine inlet hot air temperature prediction control method combined with pattern recognition PID control.

[0018] The application also includes a loose conditioning machine control system comprising a sensor group, an actuator, and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to execute a loose conditioning machine inlet hot air temperature prediction control method combined with pattern recognition PID control for real-time adjustment of the opening degree of the steam valve to control the inlet hot air temperature.

[0019] Compared with the existing technology, the application has the following advantages: 1. The system overshoot is greatly reduced: the prediction control strategy can compensate for the thermal inertia of the system in advance, effectively avoiding the temperature overshoot phenomenon when the working condition is switched (such as the beginning of the material head) or disturbed, making the system transition process more stable. 2. System response speed is accelerated: compared with the traditional PID control, the response time of the application to the set value tracking and external disturbance (such as steam pressure fluctuation, material flow change) is shortened by more than 30%, and the set temperature range can be quickly restored; 3. Intelligent setting of data driving is realized: the dependence of traditional PID on accurate mathematical model is overcome, the internal mapping relationship between the characteristic mode in the historical data and the optimal PID parameter is mined, the "self-setting" and "self-learning" of the controller parameter are realized, and the dependence on expert experience is reduced; the model has strong generalization ability and is easy to maintain: the dynamic PID model is trained based on a large amount of historical data, and can cover various production scenes. When the control performance decreases due to equipment aging and other reasons, the model can be retrained and updated by injecting new production data, and the maintenance cost is low; 4. Energy saving effect is obvious: the objective function in the optimization algorithm considers the temperature error and steam energy consumption, and can find the optimal energy-saving operating point under the premise of ensuring control accuracy, effectively reducing the steam consumption in the production process. The product quality consistency is fundamentally improved: the high stability of the inlet hot air temperature provides a uniform and controllable temperature and humidity environment for the tobacco sheet, which directly improves the bulkiness and back permeability of the tobacco sheet, reduces quality defects such as "water stained tobacco", and ensures the sensory quality and batch uniformity of the final product (tobacco) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Figure 1 The flow chart of data processing and model construction of the application.
