Attached Figure Description
[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the workflow of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1. A stator heat treatment energy-saving optimization system and heat treatment process includes a heating module, a heat preservation module, a cooling module, a detection module, a control module, and an energy recovery module.
[0035] The heating module adopts a segmented electromagnetic induction heating structure, which is divided into at least three heating zones along the axial direction of the heat treatment furnace. Each heating zone is independently equipped with an electromagnetic induction coil and a power adjustment unit. Electromagnetic induction heating has the advantages of high heating efficiency, fast heating speed, and low energy consumption. The segmented structure can realize independent adjustment of the heating power of each zone, ensuring uniform heating of different parts of the stator. The electromagnetic induction coil is made of high-temperature resistant copper alloy, and the outside of the coil is wrapped with an insulating and heat-conducting layer, which can improve the high-temperature resistance and insulation performance of the coil and extend its service life. The power adjustment unit adopts an IGBT power module to realize stepless adjustment of heating power with high adjustment accuracy and fast response speed.
[0036] The insulation module includes a vacuum insulation layer installed on the inner wall of the furnace, high-temperature resistant insulation cotton filling the inner side of the vacuum insulation layer, and an intelligent temperature control unit installed on the top of the furnace. The vacuum insulation layer is made of double-layer stainless steel plates, with a vacuum between the two layers. The inner stainless steel plate is coated with a high-temperature resistant reflective coating, which can effectively reduce heat conduction and radiation loss. The high-temperature resistant insulation cotton is made of alumina fiber cotton with a thickness of 50-80mm, which has good high-temperature resistance and insulation effect. The intelligent temperature control unit includes a temperature sensor and an automatic adjustment mechanism for the insulation door. The temperature sensor collects the furnace temperature in real time. When the furnace temperature exceeds the preset value, the control module adjusts the opening of the insulation door to discharge excess heat and maintain a stable furnace temperature.
[0037] The cooling module includes a closed-loop water circulation system and an air-cooling system, employing a combined water and air cooling approach to improve cooling efficiency while preventing stator cracking due to excessively rapid cooling. The closed-loop water circulation system includes a cooling water tank, a circulating water pump, cooling coils, and a heat exchanger. The cooling coils are evenly distributed on the outside of the furnace to ensure uniform cooling. The air-cooling system includes a blower and air guide shrouds. The air guide shrouds are positioned corresponding to the cooling coils to accelerate heat dissipation. The cooling water temperature of the closed-loop water circulation system is controlled between 25-35℃. When the cooling water temperature exceeds 35℃, the heat exchanger is activated for cooling.
[0038] The detection module includes a temperature detection unit, an energy consumption detection unit, and a stator deformation detection unit. The temperature detection unit uses thermocouple sensors, evenly distributed inside the furnace and at different parts of the stator, to collect real-time temperatures of the furnace and various parts of the stator, ensuring uniform heating and cooling. The energy consumption detection unit collects real-time energy consumption data from each module, providing a basis for energy optimization. The stator deformation detection unit uses a laser rangefinder to detect deformation during the stator heat treatment process, promptly identifying and adjusting the cooling rate to prevent excessive deformation.
[0039] The control module is electrically connected to the heating module, heat preservation module, cooling module, detection module, and energy recovery module, respectively. It has a built-in fuzzy PID algorithm, which achieves dynamic control of the heating module through a closed-loop process of "data acquisition - fuzzy decision-PID parameter self-tuning - precise control" combined with detection data. The specific process is as follows:
[0040] Detection data input: Real-time reception of core data collected by the detection module, including furnace temperature, temperature of different parts of the stator, temperature difference between different parts of the stator, and heating power energy consumption data fed back by the energy consumption detection unit.
[0041] Fuzzy rule reasoning: Fuzzyize data such as temperature deviation and temperature difference change rate, and match them with preset fuzzy rules.
[0042] PID parameter self-tuning: Based on fuzzy inference results, the proportional coefficient (P), integral coefficient (I), and derivative coefficient (D) of the PID algorithm are dynamically optimized, solving the problems of fixed parameters and poor adaptability to temperature fluctuations in traditional PID, and improving the adjustment accuracy and response speed.
[0043] Precise control of the heating module: Based on the optimized PID parameters, control commands are output to the power regulation units of each independent area of the heating module: if the temperature of the corresponding stator part in a certain area is too low or the temperature difference is too large, the heating power of the electromagnetic induction coil in that area is increased; if the temperature is too high, the power is reduced, realizing stepless and independent adjustment of the power of each heating area, ensuring uniform heating of the stator as a whole, and ultimately stabilizing the stator temperature within the target range.
[0044] The core of the fuzzification process in the fuzzy PID algorithm is to transform the precise data collected by the detection module into fuzzy linguistic variables, providing input for subsequent fuzzy rule inference. The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0045] Determine the fuzzification input: Select two core precise parameters directly related to heating control as the fuzzification input:
[0046] Input 1: Temperature deviation e, which is the difference between the actual temperature of the stator and the target temperature;
[0047] Input 2: Temperature deviation change rate ec, which is the trend of temperature deviation change per unit time.
[0048] Define the quantization factor and universe of discourse for the input:
[0049] Quantization factor: Converts actual physical quantities into fuzzy domains to achieve range matching of precise values;
[0050] Fuzzy Universe of Discourse: A unified 7-level universe of discourse {-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3} is adopted to cover the extreme value range of the input quantity and ensure the integrity of fuzzification.
[0051] Define a fuzzy language subset: For each input quantity, divide it into a fuzzy subset and use 7 commonly used fuzzy language values in engineering: {Negative Large (NB), Negative Medium (NM), Negative Small (NS), Zero (ZO), Positive Small (PS), Positive Medium (PM), Positive Large (PB)}.
[0052] Constructing membership functions: Using triangular or trapezoidal membership functions, we describe the degree to which each precise quantized value belongs to a certain fuzzy subset (values range from 0 to 1). For example, the quantized value -2 has a membership degree of 1 for "Negative Medium (NM)" and a membership degree of 0.5 for "Negative Large (NB)" and "Negative Small (NS)", thus achieving a smooth transition from precise values to fuzzy language.
[0053] The fuzzy PID algorithm combines the advantages of fuzzy control and PID control, featuring high control accuracy, fast response speed, and strong robustness. It can dynamically adjust the heating power of each zone of the heating module, the opening of the insulation door of the insulation module, and the water circulation speed and air volume of the cooling module based on parameters such as temperature, atmosphere, energy consumption, and deformation collected by the detection module. The control module also includes a parameter storage unit and a fault diagnosis unit. The parameter storage unit stores the optimal heat treatment parameter curves for stators of different materials and specifications, facilitating subsequent retrieval and optimization. The fault diagnosis unit determines the operating status of each module based on the parameters collected by the detection module and issues an alarm when an abnormality occurs to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system.
[0054] The energy recovery module includes a waste heat collector, a heat exchanger, and an energy storage unit. It collects and recovers waste heat generated during the heat treatment process, reducing energy consumption. The waste heat collector connects the furnace exhaust port to the heat exchanger of the cooling module, collecting waste heat from the high-temperature flue gas and the cooling system. After heat exchange, the heat can be stored in the energy storage unit or directly used to preheat the stator to be treated or supplement workshop heating, achieving energy recycling.
[0055] The present invention also provides a stator heat treatment process based on the above system, comprising the following steps:
[0056] S1: Preheating Stage: Place the stator to be treated into the heat treatment furnace, close the furnace door, and the control module starts the heating module. The preheating temperature is 150-250℃, and the preheating time is 30-60 minutes. During the preheating process, the temperature detection unit collects the stator temperature in real time and controls the preheating rate to 5-8℃ / min. Using waste heat for preheating can reduce the power consumption during the preheating stage. At the same time, slow preheating can reduce the temperature stress inside the stator and avoid premature deformation.
[0057] S2: Heating Stage: After preheating, a segmented heating method is adopted. Based on the stator material and specifications, the target temperature and heating rate for each heating zone are set. The heating rate for the first heating zone is 8-12℃ / min, the second heating zone is 10-15℃ / min, and the third heating zone is 8-12℃ / min, until the overall stator temperature reaches the preset austenitizing temperature (850-950℃). Segmented heating ensures synchronous heating of different parts of the stator. When the detection module detects a temperature difference exceeding 15℃ between different parts of the stator, the control module adjusts the heating power of the corresponding heating zone to reduce the temperature difference and ensure uniform stator heating.
[0058] S3: Heat preservation stage: After the temperature is raised to the target temperature, the heat preservation stage begins. The control module adjusts the opening of the heat preservation door of the heat preservation module to maintain the temperature fluctuation range inside the furnace within ±5℃. The heat preservation time is determined according to the effective thickness of the stator. The heat preservation time is (2-3) × effective thickness of the stator (mm) min.
[0059] S4: Cooling Stage: After the insulation is completed, the cooling module is activated, employing a staged cooling method to avoid stator cracking or uneven hardness caused by excessively rapid cooling. The first stage uses air cooling with an air volume of 2000-3000 m³ / h, cooling to 600-700℃ at a cooling rate of 15-20℃ / min. The second stage uses closed-loop water circulation cooling with a circulating water pump speed of 1500-2000 r / min, cooling to 300-400℃ at a cooling rate of 10-15℃ / min. The third stage involves natural cooling to room temperature. During the cooling process, the stator deformation detection unit monitors the stator deformation in real time. If the deformation exceeds a preset value, the control module adjusts the cooling rate to ensure that the stator deformation remains within the allowable range. Simultaneously, when the cooling water temperature exceeds 35℃, the heat exchanger is activated, utilizing the waste heat collected by the energy recovery module for heat exchange and cooling. The heat generated during heat exchange is also recovered to the energy storage unit.
[0060] S5: Post-processing stage: After cooling to room temperature, the stator is removed and subjected to hardness and deformation testing. The test data is fed back to the control module. The control module combines the energy consumption data of this heat treatment to optimize the heat treatment parameter curve of the stator of this specification and stores it in the parameter storage unit, providing better parameter basis for the heat treatment of subsequent stators of the same specification.

5. A stator heat treatment process according to any one of claims 1-4, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1: Preheating stage: Place the stator to be treated into the heat treatment furnace, close the furnace door, start the heat module of the control module, the preheating temperature is 150-250℃, the preheating time is 30-60min, during the preheating process, the temperature detection unit collects the stator temperature in real time and controls the preheating rate to be 5-8℃ / min. S2: Heating stage: After preheating, a segmented heating method is adopted. According to the stator material and specifications, the target temperature and heating rate of each heating zone are set. The heating rate of the first heating zone is 8-12℃ / min, the heating rate of the second heating zone is 10-15℃ / min, and the heating rate of the third heating zone is 8-12℃ / min, until the overall temperature of the stator reaches the preset austenitizing temperature, which is 850-950℃. S3: Heat preservation stage: After the temperature is raised to the target temperature, the heat preservation stage begins. The control module adjusts the opening of the heat preservation door of the heat preservation module to maintain the temperature fluctuation range inside the furnace within ±5℃. The heat preservation time is determined according to the effective thickness of the stator. The heat preservation time is (2-3) × effective thickness of the stator (mm) min. S4: Cooling Stage: After the heat preservation is completed, the cooling module is activated, adopting a staged cooling method. The first stage uses air cooling with an air volume of 2000-3000 m³ / h, cooling to 600-700℃ at a cooling rate of 15-20℃ / min. The second stage uses closed-loop water circulation cooling with a circulating water pump speed of 1500-2000 r / min, cooling to 300-400℃ at a cooling rate of 10-15℃ / min. The third stage involves natural cooling to room temperature. During the cooling process, the stator deformation detection unit monitors the stator deformation in real time. If the deformation exceeds the preset value, the control module adjusts the cooling rate. S5: Post-processing stage: After cooling to room temperature, the stator is removed and subjected to hardness and deformation testing. The test data is fed back to the control module. The control module combines the energy consumption data of this heat treatment to optimize the heat treatment parameter curve of the stator of this specification and stores it in the parameter storage unit.
