Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of foundry coke production technology, specifically a method for evaluating the volume change rate of foundry coke. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern foundry industry, foundry coke is an indispensable basic material, and its performance directly affects the stability of the casting process and the final quality of the castings. The volume change rate of foundry coke during the production process is one of the key indicators for measuring its quality, and it is closely related to the coke oven charging efficiency, coke output, and the performance of coke in the casting process. Currently, the industry has limited methods for evaluating the volume change rate of foundry coke. Traditional methods mostly rely on the experience and judgment of operators or use simple evaluation methods based on single indicators, lacking systematicity and accuracy. Although it is known that the volatile matter and caking index of the coal fed into the furnace are related to the volume change of foundry coke, existing technologies have failed to effectively integrate these two indicators to form a complete and reliable evaluation system. This makes it difficult for enterprises to accurately predict the volume change of foundry coke during the production process, making it impossible to adjust production parameters in a timely manner. Consequently, this leads to low production efficiency, resource waste, and may also affect the quality of castings due to substandard foundry coke quality, increasing production costs and scrap rates. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and proposes a method for evaluating the volume change rate of foundry coke. By deeply studying the intrinsic relationship between the volatile matter and caking index of coal fed into the furnace and the volume change rate of foundry coke, this invention constructs a completely new evaluation method and solves the problem of the inability to accurately predict the volume change rate of foundry coke.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for evaluating the volume change rate of foundry coke involves substituting the volatile matter and caking index of the coal fed into the formula Vc=0.4435*Vdaf+0.1995*G-20.1214 to obtain a predicted value for the volume change rate of foundry coke.

[0005] Vc refers to the predicted volume change rate of foundry coke, Vdaf refers to the volatile matter content, and G refers to the bonding index.

[0006] Preferably, the volatile matter content of the coal fed into the furnace is determined according to the national standard GB / T 212-2008.

[0007] Preferably, the caking index of the coal fed into the furnace is determined according to the national standard GB / T 5447-2014.

[0008] Preferably, a small coke oven test is conducted according to industry standard YB / T 4526-2016 to calculate the actual volume change rate; the predicted value is compared with the actual volume change rate to verify the accuracy.

[0009] Preferably, the volume change of the coal cake entering the furnace and the coke cake exiting the furnace is measured, and the actual volume change rate is calculated.

[0010] Preferably, an infrared laser displacement sensor is used to measure the volume Vcoal of the coal cake entering the furnace, and the volume Vcoke of the coke cake is determined by the water displacement method. The actual volume change rate is calculated as |(Vcoal-Vcoke) / Vcoal×100%|.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows: 1. Significantly Improved Accuracy: Existing evaluation methods are mostly based on experience or a single indicator, resulting in significant errors. This invention trains a support vector regression model using multiple sets of data, which can accurately capture the complex relationship between the coal input index and the change rate of foundry coke volume. Practical verification shows that the average absolute error can be controlled within 3%, improving accuracy by 40%-60% compared to existing technologies. 2. Significantly Improved Evaluation Efficiency: Traditional evaluation methods are cumbersome, rely on manual experience, and are time-consuming. The model formula established in this invention enables automated and rapid evaluation, providing results instantly after data input, greatly shortening evaluation time and improving production decision-making efficiency. 3. Wider Applicability: Existing technologies have limited applicability, and the reliability of evaluation results decreases when coal quality changes or production conditions change. This invention trains the model formula with a large amount of data from different operating conditions, enabling it to adapt to various coal types and production conditions, and exhibiting stronger versatility and stability.
