Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of recycled copper smelting technology, and in particular to an automatic control method and system for the liquid level of recycled copper melt. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of recycled copper smelting, stable control of the melt level is a key link to ensure production efficiency, product quality and production safety. If the melt level is too high, it will easily cause melt overflow, leading to safety accidents and waste of raw materials. If the melt level is too low, it will cause uneven heating of the furnace body, shorten the service life of the furnace lining, and affect the smelting reaction and reduce the purity of the product.
[0003] Currently, the main shortcomings of the methods for controlling the liquid level of recycled copper melt are as follows: Manual control is a common method used by traditional small and medium-sized recycled copper enterprises. It relies on operators to judge the liquid level by observing the furnace opening or sight glass and manually adjust the feed valve or feeder based on experience. This method is greatly affected by human factors, has low control accuracy, and has a slow response. The contact liquid level detection and control method uses contact sensors such as floats, thermocouples, or electrodes to directly insert into the melt or close to the liquid surface for detection. Float sensors are easily shaken by the impact of melt flow, resulting in low detection accuracy. In addition, the high temperature of the melt can easily corrode the float material, leading to a short sensor life.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an automatic control method and system for the liquid level of recycled copper melt to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

This method relies on operators to judge the liquid level by observing the furnace opening or sight glass and manually adjusting the feed valve or feeder based on experience. This method is greatly affected by human factors, has low control accuracy, and has a slow response. The contact liquid level detection and control method uses contact sensors such as floats, thermocouples, or electrodes to directly insert into the melt or close to the liquid surface for detection.

[0036] This invention provides, for example Figures 1-9 The method for automatic control of the level of recycled copper melt shown includes the following steps:
[0037] S1. Initialize and set the target liquid level H0, with a range of 400-800 mm, and set the allowable deviation threshold ΔHmax = ±10 mm;
[0038] S2. The melt level is detected in real time using a dual-mode sensor of lidar and infrared, with a detection frequency of 5-10Hz.
[0039] S3. Filter the detection data by using a moving average filter combined with a wavelet denoising algorithm to remove outliers.
[0040] S4. Calculate the deviation ΔH between the actual liquid level H and the target liquid level H0, and make adjustments when |ΔH| > ΔHmax.
[0041] S5. The control module uses an adaptive PID algorithm to output an adjustment signal based on ΔH and the liquid level change rate dH / dt. The PID parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the working conditions.
[0042] Adaptive PID algorithm: The proportional coefficient Kp (5-20), integral coefficient Ki (0.1-1.0), and derivative coefficient Kd (0.05-0.5) are dynamically adjusted with dH / dt. When the dH / dt changes rapidly, Kp and Kd are increased to suppress fluctuations.
[0043] Adaptive PID algorithm is a common existing technology, and will not be elaborated here.
[0044] S6. Adjust the feed flow rate or discharge flow rate according to the adjustment signal, using an electric regulating valve, etc. The feed adjustment range is 0-50L / min, the discharge adjustment range is 0-30L / min, and the response time is ≤2s, until |ΔH|≤ΔHmax.
[0045] This invention utilizes lidar, infrared dual-mode sensors, and adaptive PID control to achieve minimal liquid level control deviation, effectively preventing overflow from excessively high levels or damage to the furnace from excessively low levels. It also reduces the frequency of manual inspections and sensor maintenance, solving the problems of low control accuracy and poor anti-interference in traditional systems. It can adapt to high-temperature and high-dust environments, improve smelting stability, and reduce energy consumption and labor costs. It can be widely applied to recycled copper smelting production lines.
[0046] The present invention also discloses an automatic control system for the liquid level of recycled copper melt, which is applied to the above-mentioned automatic control method for the liquid level of recycled copper melt. It also includes a furnace body 1, and a vertical rod 2 is provided at the top of the furnace body 1. The vertical rod 2 is concentrically arranged with the furnace body 1. The vertical rod 2 can move up and down along the axial direction of the furnace body 1, and the vertical rod 2 can also rotate.
[0047] An outer ring 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the furnace body 1. A support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the outer ring 20. A vertical box 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 21. A vertical plate 23 is slidably arranged inside the vertical box 22 and passes through the top of the vertical box 22. The vertical plate 23 can move up and down inside the vertical box 22. A top plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 23. A vertical rod 2 is rotatably arranged on the vertical plate 23.
[0048] A motor 26 is fixedly connected to the top plate 25. A first gear 27 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the motor 26, and a second gear 28 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 2. The first gear 27 and the second gear 28 are meshed together. The motor 26 is connected to the factory's power supply. The motor 26 drives the first gear 27 to rotate. Because the first gear 27 and the second gear 28 are meshed together, the second gear 28 drives the vertical rod 2 to rotate.
[0049] A second electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the support plate 21, and the top plate 25 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 24. The second electric push rod 24 is connected to the factory's power supply, and the top plate 25 and the vertical rod 2 are moved up and down by the second electric push rod 24.
[0050] The bottom end of the vertical rod 2 is fixedly connected to a fixed sleeve 7. Both ends of the fixed sleeve 7 are slidably provided with moving rods 8, and the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 7 is provided with rubber sealing gaskets, etc., to reduce wear and maintain sealing.
[0051] The end of the moving rod 8 away from the fixed sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to a bent sleeve 3. Two bent rods 4 are arranged between the two bent sleeves 3, and the ends of the bent rods 4 are slidably arranged in the corresponding bent sleeves 3. The two bent sleeves 3 and the two bent rods 4 form a ring structure, and the diameter of the ring can be varied.
[0052] Both ends of the bend sleeve 3 are provided with bends 5, and a round block 6 is slidably arranged inside the bend 5. The round block 6 is fixedly connected to the corresponding bend rod 4. The bends 5 and the round block 6 are provided to ensure the stability of the sliding of the bend rod 4.
[0053] Reference Figure 9 As shown, when the two moving rods 8 move in opposite directions, the two bends 3 move in opposite directions synchronously. At this time, the two bends 4 also move in opposite directions and slide adaptively inside the bends 3, while the circular block 6 slides inside the bend 5 to ensure the stability of the sliding.
[0054] To enable the movement of the sleeve 3, a sliding ring 14 is slidably mounted on the vertical rod 2. Upper ear seats 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding ring 14, and ball bearings or similar components can be mounted on the inner wall of the sliding ring 14 to improve the smoothness of the sliding. A connecting plate 16 is rotatably mounted on the upper ear seat 15, and a lower ear seat 13 is rotatably mounted at the end of the connecting plate 16 away from the upper ear seat 15. The lower ear seat 13 is fixedly connected to the corresponding sleeve 3.
[0055] A first electric push rod 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical rod 2, and a slip ring 14 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 17. Specifically, when the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 17 is extended, the slip ring 14 slides downward on the outer wall of the vertical rod 2, the bottom end of the connecting plate 16 opens outward, causing the two moving rods 8 to move in opposite directions, and the two bent sleeves 3 to move in opposite directions synchronously, increasing the diameter of the ring; conversely, when the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 17 is retracted, the slip ring 14 slides upward on the outer wall of the vertical rod 2, the bottom end of the connecting plate 16 moves inward, causing the two moving rods 8 to move towards each other, and the two bent sleeves 3 to move towards each other synchronously, decreasing the diameter of the ring.
[0056] Sensor 10 is installed at the bottom of the sleeve 3. Multiple sensors 10 can be set, including infrared dual-mode sensors, temperature sensors, dust sensors, etc., to detect melt level, temperature, dust, etc. in real time. LiDAR and other sensors can also be set, and adjustments can be made according to specific usage conditions.
[0057] During testing, the height of the sensor 10 can be adjusted by moving the top plate 25 and the vertical rod 2 up and down. If the liquid level is low, the vertical rod 2 moves downward so that the bend sleeve 3, sensor 10, etc. extend into the top opening of the furnace body 1. If the liquid level is high, it can be positioned 30-50cm above the furnace body 1, depending on the specific usage.
[0058] After the test, the bending sleeve 3, sensor 10, etc. are moved upward and retracted, and the top of the furnace body 1 is covered to avoid being affected by the high temperature inside the furnace body 1.
[0059] At the same time, the motor 26 drives the first gear 27 to rotate. Since the first gear 27 is meshed with the second gear 28, the second gear 28 drives the vertical rod 2 to rotate, so that the sensor 10 can rotate around the axis of the furnace body 1. The diameter of the ring can be changed, so that the position of the sensor 10 in the furnace body 1 can be adjusted, expanding the coverage area, realizing multiple detections, and ensuring the accuracy of detection.
[0060] By setting up structures such as vertical rod 2, bent sleeve 3, and top plate 25, the position of sensor 10 can be flexibly adjusted in the axial and radial directions of furnace body 1 to ensure detection accuracy.
[0061] Considering that dust may easily remain on the outside of the sensor 10, an air outlet 9 is provided on the moving rod 8 to clean the dust. The fixed sleeve 7 is connected to the bent sleeve 3 through the air outlet 9. The bottom of the bent sleeve 3 is provided with an air hole 11 close to the sensor 10. Multiple air holes 11 are provided and distributed around the sensor 10. A first one-way valve 12 is installed in the air outlet 9 so that the gas in the air outlet 9 can enter the interior of the bent sleeve 3 without flowing in the opposite direction.
[0062] Meanwhile, partitions are installed at both ends of the connection between the sleeve 3 and the moving rod 8 to isolate the gas (not shown in the figure). This ensures that when the gas in the outlet 9 enters the interior of the sleeve 3, it is between the two partitions and can only be ejected through the air hole 11, instead of being discharged from the bend 5, the end of the outlet 9, or other locations.
[0063] An air inlet 18 is provided on the vertical rod 2. The bottom end of the air inlet 18 is connected to the fixed sleeve 7, and the top end of the air inlet 18 penetrates the top outer wall of the vertical rod 2. A dustproof net or similar device can be installed at the top end of the air inlet 18 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the air inlet 18. A second one-way valve 19 is installed inside the air inlet 18. The second one-way valve 19 allows external gas to enter the interior of the air inlet 18 without reverse flow.
[0064] In actual use, when the extension end of the first electric push rod 17 is extended, the two moving rods 8 move in opposite directions inside the fixed sleeve 7, the gas storage space inside the fixed sleeve 7 gradually increases, and external gas enters the interior of the fixed sleeve 7 through the air inlet 18.
[0065] Since the top of the air intake duct 18 is located on the outer wall of the top of the vertical rod 2, there is less dust here, and with the help of the dustproof net, the gas entering the fixed sleeve 7 is dust-free.
[0066] Next, the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 17 is retracted, and the two moving rods 8 move towards each other inside the fixed sleeve 7, forcing the gas inside the fixed sleeve 7 into the curved sleeve 3 through the air outlet 9, and spraying it towards the sensor 10 through the air hole 11, blowing away the dust remaining on the outside of the sensor 10. The above steps are repeated multiple times to achieve the effect of automatic cleaning.
[0067] By setting up structures such as the air outlet 9 and the air inlet 18, and utilizing the movement of the moving rod 8, the residual dust on the outside of the sensor 10 is automatically cleaned, improving the efficiency of use.
[0068] In actual production, the automatic control method for the level of recycled copper melt also includes the following embodiments:
[0069] Example 1
[0070] The target liquid level is set at 400mm, and the detection frequency is 5Hz. LiDAR (dust ≤ 50mg / m³) 3 The system detects the liquid level using a sliding average window of 5, with a data accuracy of ±2mm after wavelet denoising. When the actual liquid level is 412mm (ΔH=12mm) and the rate of change dH / dt=3mm / s, the adaptive PID controller is activated: Kp=5, Ki=0.1, Kd=0.05. The execution module adjusts the feed valve to close slightly, reducing the flow rate from 30L / min to 25L / min. After 1.5s, the liquid level stabilizes at 403mm (ΔH=3mm).
