Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sintering data processing technology, and particularly relates to an intelligent sintering method, system, equipment and medium based on multi-source data analysis. Background Technology
[0002] The sintering production process is lengthy and involves many stages. From a control perspective, the sintering process is complex, nonlinear, time-varying, and uncertain, making it a typical complex controlled object. How steel companies can ensure product quality at each stage while reducing steel production costs, thereby enhancing their competitiveness, has become a pressing issue. For a long time, sintering batching has been largely controlled manually by operators based on experience. However, with a deeper understanding of the properties of sintering raw materials, improvements in sintering equipment, the adoption of relevant technologies, and the introduction and implementation of automatic control concepts, the application of intelligent optimized ore blending systems has become an important means to pursue "high quality, high output, and low consumption" in sintering production, and a key focus for sintering plants both domestically and internationally to improve their technological levels.
[0003] The prior art disclosed in CN115952636A is an intelligent ore blending method for sintering processes based on digital twins, including the following steps: 1) Analyzing the requirements for digital twins of the sintering process and equipment, studying the digital replication of the geometric attributes of the sintering process and equipment and multi-temporal-scale modeling of the operating mechanism, establishing a digital twin model of the entire sintering production process using digital twin technology, and inputting the operating data of the real physical model, including process data and product data, into the digital twin model to realize the virtual-real interaction between the physical model and the twin model; on this basis, constructing a material formulation optimization module based on digital twins; 2) Using advanced sensing, data mining and processing, data modeling, and control optimization, establishing a sintering material formulation optimization module based on the digital twin model of the entire sintering production process, forming a visualized virtual sintering production system. The system achieves parallel operation with the physical production line on site, providing a twin system platform for simulation, monitoring and diagnosis, prediction and optimization, and testing and verification for safe and efficient operation of sintering production; 3) virtual and real data are generated through digital twin technology to expand the database; at the same time, data cleaning, data dimensionality reduction and data association are achieved by using data mining and database management technologies; a sintering process knowledge base is constructed; 4) a sintering process batching optimization module is constructed using the XGBoost model and an improved gray wolf optimization algorithm, and an improved gray wolf optimization algorithm is proposed for solving the model. The improvement includes two aspects: convergence factor adjustment based on the sigmoid function and individual update based on the differential mutation strategy; 5) the constructed batching optimization module is uploaded to the digital twin system to optimize the raw material ratio of the sintering process in real time and display it through the front end.
[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned inventions only focus on the ore blending stage, lacking effective control and optimization methods for other important stages of sintering production. This may lead to insufficient coordination in the entire production process, affecting the quality of the final product and production efficiency. Although digital twin models can perform simulation and prediction, deviations may exist between the model and the actual situation during actual production. Furthermore, updating and adjusting the model requires a certain amount of time, making it difficult to achieve real-time dynamic control of the production process. Optimization using virtual and real data generated by digital twin models does not fully utilize the large amount of high-frequency data and low-frequency quality inspection information generated in real time at the production site, potentially missing some key changes in production status and optimization opportunities. Constructing digital twin models requires high technical barriers and substantial computing resources, resulting in high system development and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this application and in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0016] Example 1, such as Figure 1 The intelligent sintering method based on multi-source data analysis shown includes the following steps: Step S1, multi-source data acquisition step, involves acquiring production data from each stage of the sintering process, periodically collecting quality inspection data of the sintered ore, and uploading the collected data to the edge preprocessing terminal and the multi-source data analysis server; the specific steps are as follows: Step S11: Deploy high-precision, high-reliability, and long-life sensors at various stages of sintering production, including raw material warehouses, batching equipment, mixers, sintering machines, and coolers. For example, use electronic scales to measure weight at the batching point and install temperature and pressure sensors on the sintering machine; collect various production data in real time, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, rotation speed, and composition. Step S12 involves periodically conducting quality inspections on the sintered ore products using quality inspection equipment, including chemical composition analysis, particle size distribution detection, and strength testing. The quality inspection equipment interacts with a multi-source data analysis server, feeding back the test results in real time to provide a basis for optimizing the closed-loop algorithm. Step S13: Industrial Ethernet or wireless communication is used to ensure stable data transmission. A multi-threaded concurrent acquisition mechanism is adopted to feed production data back to the edge preprocessing end in real time and quality inspection data back to the multi-source data analysis server in real time.
[0017] Step S2, edge preprocessing step, involves receiving the uploaded collected data, filtering, cleaning, and aggregating the uploaded data, and then uploading the preprocessed data to the multi-source data analysis server; the specific steps are as follows: Step S21: For the uploaded multi-source data, use a filtering algorithm to remove noise, and use an interpolation algorithm and statistical analysis methods to remove outliers and fill in missing values. Step S22: The data processed in step S21 is subjected to principal component analysis, correlation analysis, and wavelet transform to extract key feature information related to sintering quality, efficiency, and cost, thereby reducing the amount of data transmission. Step S23: The preprocessed data from steps S21 and S23 is uploaded to the multi-source data analysis server via a standardized protocol. In the event of a network interruption or a failure of the multi-source data analysis server, the preprocessed data is temporarily saved to a local storage device. Once the network interruption or the multi-source data analysis server failure is resolved, the data is retransmitted. The temporary storage device supports rapid querying and analysis of local data, providing real-time production information to on-site operators.
[0018] Step S3, multi-source data analysis step, involves receiving pre-processed data and quality inspection data, storing the pre-processed data and quality inspection data, and analyzing and controlling the batching accuracy, sintering process, energy consumption control, negative pressure ignition control, air pressure and air volume control, and four-machine linkage based on the pre-processed data; the specific steps are as follows: Step S31: A correlation model between the proportion of ingredients and the chemical composition of the finished product is established using regression analysis and PID control algorithm. The accuracy of the ingredient proportioning is analyzed by comparing the actual ingredient proportioning data in the multi-source data and the chemical composition data of the finished product in the quality inspection data. By comparing the deviation between the setpoint and the actual amount of ingredients in real time, control commands are generated and sent to the edge preprocessing end. The edge preprocessing end sends the control commands and dynamically adjusts the speed of the feeding equipment. The model parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the quality inspection data. Step S32: Using fuzzy logic control and adaptive control algorithms, a multi-factor coupled sintering process control model is constructed. The sintering process is analyzed based on the uploaded multi-source data and quality inspection data, and control commands are generated. The control commands are then sent to the edge preprocessing end. The edge preprocessing end sends out the control commands and dynamically adjusts the fan speed, sintering machine speed and fuel addition amount. The model parameters are dynamically adjusted based on the quality inspection data. Step S33: Use a genetic algorithm and energy consumption prediction model to perform energy consumption analysis on the uploaded multi-data, generate control commands, and send the control commands to the edge preprocessing end. The edge preprocessing end will then send the control commands to dynamically adjust the operating parameters of each device. The parameters of the energy consumption prediction model will be dynamically adjusted based on the uploaded quality inspection data. Step S34: Using a PID control algorithm, a correlation model is established between negative pressure, ignition effect, and sintering quality. Real-time monitoring data from high-frequency negative pressure sensors, igniter temperature and gas flow data, and low-frequency sintering quality inspection information from the sintered ore surface are analyzed for negative pressure ignition to generate control commands. These commands are then sent to the edge preprocessing end, which dynamically adjusts the flue gate opening, gas supply, and air ratio. The correlation model parameters are dynamically adjusted based on the uploaded quality inspection data. Step S35: Using a fuzzy adaptive control algorithm and mathematical model, analyze the uploaded high-frequency wind pressure and air volume sensor real-time data, sintering material layer permeability detection data, and low-frequency sinter internal quality inspection information to generate control commands. Send the control commands to the edge preprocessing end. The edge preprocessing end sends the control commands to dynamically adjust the fan speed and damper opening. The algorithm rules and parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the uploaded quality inspection data. Step S36: Using a neural network control algorithm, a collaborative control model is established among the sintering machine, the feeding machine, the crusher, and the cooler. The uploaded multi-source data and quality inspection data are analyzed to generate control commands, which are then sent to the edge preprocessing end. The edge preprocessing end then sends the control commands to dynamically adjust the operating speeds of the sintering machine, the feeding machine, the crusher, and the cooler. The weights and thresholds of the multi-objective optimization algorithm are dynamically adjusted based on the uploaded quality inspection data.
[0019] Step S4, Intelligent Decision-Making and Control Steps: Based on the process mechanism and historical data, a multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to construct an intelligent decision-making model to generate the optimal control strategy; multiple inference algorithms are used to perform decision reasoning to generate the optimal decision scheme, and the control strategy is then distributed to each actuator device; the specific steps are as follows: Step S41: Using a multi-objective optimization algorithm, the relationship between multiple factors such as quality, efficiency and cost is balanced. Based on the process mechanism and historical data, an intelligent decision-making model is constructed. The control instructions and production objectives of each algorithm are comprehensively considered to generate the optimal production control strategy. Step S42: Use rule-based reasoning, case-based reasoning, and fuzzy reasoning to analyze and judge the output of multi-source data and analysis models. Based on different production conditions and constraints, such as sintering temperature range constraints, energy consumption constraints, heating rate constraints, and quality constraints, flexibly adjust decision-making strategies to generate the optimal decision-making scheme and improve the adaptability and flexibility of the system. Step S43: The generated control strategy and decision scheme are sent to the edge preprocessing end, and then the edge preprocessing end sends the control strategy and decision scheme to the actuator. Step S5, the decision evaluation and feedback step, involves comparing the uploaded actual production data with the expected decision data, and providing feedback to the decision model and inference mechanism based on the comparison results, which are then optimized through a reinforcement learning agent; the specific steps are as follows: Step S51: Compare the uploaded actual production data with the data expected for decision-making, and provide feedback to the decision-making model and reasoning mechanism based on the comparison results; Step S52: To guide the system towards optimal production goals, a reasonable reward mechanism is designed. The reward function comprehensively considers multiple factors such as production quality, efficiency, and cost. For example, positive rewards are given when the quality indicators of sintered ore meet or exceed expected targets, production efficiency improves, and energy consumption decreases; conversely, negative rewards are given when quality problems occur, production is delayed, or energy consumption is too high. Reward signals are obtained, and the reinforcement learning agent continuously optimizes the control strategy based on these signals, constantly improving the accuracy and reliability of decision-making to ensure the system is always in an optimal operating state. Through interaction with the production environment, it learns which actions to take in different states to obtain the maximum cumulative reward. For example, in the four-machine linkage algorithm, the speed of the four machines is dynamically adjusted based on the processing progress and quality feedback of the sintered ore in each process to achieve the best production effect. As learning progresses, the reinforcement learning agent's strategy gradually converges to the optimal strategy, thereby achieving continuous optimization of the production process.
