[0026] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on some embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should be within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] The terms "first", "second" and "third" and the like appearing in the specification, claims and drawings of the present application are used to distinguish different objects, and are not used to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system or product or device including a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, and can optionally include steps or units not listed, or can optionally include other steps or units inherent to the process, method, product or device.

[0028] The present application inventors found that the traditional oxygen-rich production process is carried out under the condition of whole-box uniform heating, the oxygen-rich ratio and air volume control are rough, the end face is unevenly heated and oxygenated, the whiteness is discrete, and the burst rate is relatively high. In the traditional one-way convection production process, through one-sided air supply, through convection is formed, but there are problems of local overheating of the end face and obvious disturbance of the box pressure, and it is difficult to control ΔT under different material diameters, which easily leads to "core focus" or insufficient whitening. In the traditional process related to only burning non-condensed gas NCG for heating, there are problems of large fluctuation of heating value and insufficient temperature climbing speed, which further easily causes the whitening peak to be unable to be stably maintained, etc., affecting the consistency of product quality. In addition, the traditional process generally lacks accurate determination of the "core heat" state of wood, often relying on experience to enter the whitening stage, leading to insufficient or excessive carbonization of the core, affecting the formation of the chrysanthemum pattern and the uniformity of whiteness of the final product.

[0029] Therefore, the present application inventors expect to develop a chrysanthemum carbon production method capable of accurately controlling the carbonization and whitening process, improving the chrysanthemum pattern quality and whiteness stability, reducing the burst rate, and at the same time shortening the production cycle and reducing energy consumption.

[0030] Firstly, some key technical terms are introduced.

[0031] Chrysanthemum pattern: refers to the radial or ring-shaped light and dark texture of the wood end face after whitening, which is the visual result of the coupling of radial thermal stress and surface densification, and is used to evaluate the end face aesthetics and consistency.

[0052] Figure 3 It is a whole temperature control curve schematic diagram. The temperature change curve of each stage (B→C→D→E→F) from loading, preheating, carbonization, whitening to cooling is shown.

[0053] Figure 4 It is an E section safety interlocking timing schematic diagram, and an optional logical relationship and triggering condition of four interlocks of oxygen, tank pressure, flame detection, and temperature are shown.

[0054] It is found through experiments that the technical solution of the application can significantly improve the chrysanthemum pattern quality. Through the end face directional flow field and uniform radiation heat exchange, the formation rate of the chrysanthemum pattern is increased by more than 30%, and the texture clarity and consistency are obviously improved.

[0055] The whiteness stability of the technical solution of the application is greatly improved: the end face whiteness uniformity is improved, and the whiteness variation coefficient is reduced by more than 40%.

[0056] The technical solution of the present application can significantly reduce the blasting rate: through the core heat criterion and accurate heating rate control, the blasting rate is reduced by more than 60%.

[0057] The technical solution of the present application can improve production efficiency: the whitening time is shortened by 15-25%, and the overall production rhythm is accelerated.

[0058] The technical solution of the present application can reduce energy consumption: the optimized heat exchange mode and rapid cooling strategy can reduce the energy consumption per unit product by more than 20%.

[0059] The technical solution of the present application can ensure good product consistency: through multi-parameter collaborative control and safety interlocking, the quality stability between product batches is significantly improved.

[0060] The technical solution of the present application can ensure high safety: four interlocks and inert protection ensure the safety and reliability of the production process.

[0061] Experiments have found that the technical solution of the present application is based on the soft measurement technology of ΔT (core-surface), which ensures that the wood reaches the "core heat" state before entering the whitening stage through multi-point temperature measurement and model estimation, avoiding quality problems caused by insufficient carbonization of the core.

[0062] End face annular flow guide and radiation coupled heat exchange: in the whitening section, the end face is organized to flow orthogonally through the annular flow guide cover, and radiation members (radiation pipes or radiation plates) are arranged on the inner side. The total heat transfer coefficient at the end face can be expressed as: htotal = hconv + hrad Where hconv is determined by the end face flow speed and the flow guide blade angle, and hrad is related to the radiation member temperature and the view angle coefficient.

[0063] The technical solution of the present application is precise multi-parameter collaborative control: by controlling the end face flow speed to be 2.0-4.0 m / s, the convective heat transfer coefficient hconv is maintained in a stable interval; at the same time, the radiation member provides uniform radiation flux, reduces the end face temperature difference, and suppresses local hot spots and uneven vitrification.

[0064] The technical solution of the present application is a phased fine control strategy: Whitening heating rate: 10-18 ℃ / min Oxygen content control: 5-9 vol%, used to control the surface oxidation rate and vitrification process Box pressure maintenance: -20 to -80 Pa, to prevent external air from being sucked in Rapid ashing: 1-3 mm of ashing within 0-180 seconds after whitening Inert cooling: complete 900→450℃ rapid cooling within ≤120 minutes under the condition of O2≤3% The technical solution of the application has a four-safety interlocking mechanism: setting O2 / box pressure / fire detection / temperature four interlocking and door area front chamber inerting to ensure production safety.

[0065] Several specific parameter configuration scenarios are introduced below.

[0072] Experimental results: production rhythm shortened by 30%, chrysanthemum pattern formation rate 88%, whiteness L value 80±2, burst rate <1.5%.

[0073] Example 4 (boundary ΔT process): Deep carbonization stage: ΔT threshold set to 30°C, limited speed temperature rise extended to 6.5-7 hours, observation window increased to 20-25 minutes before release; Whitening stage: temperature rise rate reduced to 10-12°C / min, reduce thermal stress, reduce burst risk.

[0074] Experimental results: for ultra-large material diameter >180mm, burst rate controlled within 2%, chrysanthemum pattern formation rate 80%.

[0075] Example 5 (inert cooling enhancement process): this example is aimed at optimization of the inert cooling stage: Trigger alarm when O2 concentration >1.5%, inert gas flow automatically increased by 30-50%, O2 concentration controlled at ≤1%; Fast cooling: reduced to ≤90 minutes from 900°C to 450°C.

[0076] Experimental results: rekindling risk reduced to near zero, product surface oxidation layer thickness reduced by 40%, whiteness further improved.
