Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrothermal synergistic control, and in particular to an electrothermal synergistic control system for the hot-pressing tee manufacturing process. Background Technology
[0002] Hot-pressed tees are core connectors in pipeline transportation systems, widely used in major engineering projects such as oil and gas. Their forming quality directly affects the reliability and service life of the pipeline system. The manufacturing of hot-pressed tees involves a complex dynamic process of high-temperature heating and high-pressure forming. Multiple physical fields, such as temperature and stress fields, are coupled together, and multiple process parameters, such as heating power and pressing pressure, influence each other. Fluctuations in any parameter can lead to defects such as uneven wall thickness and cracks. Currently, domestic hot-pressed tee manufacturing mostly adopts traditional experience-based or single-parameter feedback control modes, which are difficult to adapt to the complex characteristics of multi-field coupling and multi-parameter coordination, resulting in obvious technical bottlenecks: incomplete data acquisition and poor real-time performance, relying heavily on manual recording or single-parameter acquisition, failing to cover multi-source data throughout the molding process, leading to blind spots in process perception and a lack of data support for precise control; lack of multi-parameter coupling prediction capabilities, making it impossible to predict the impact of parameter changes on molding quality, only able to passively adjust, making it difficult to achieve forward-looking control; insufficient coordination of electrothermal control, with independent control of heating and pressurization systems and no coordinated scheduling mechanism, easily leading to defects such as stress concentration and cracks due to parameter mismatch, affecting product qualification rate.

[0047] In this embodiment, the waste heat path switching rule is as follows: when the risk level changes, the waste heat allocation ratio transitions linearly, and the transition time is equal to the difference between the old and new risk levels, which is 2 seconds.
[0048] In this embodiment, the temperature of the first region is greater than the temperature of the second region, that is, the first region is a high-temperature region and the second region is a low-temperature region.
[0049] In this embodiment, the electric heating power adjustment strategy is as follows: power in the stress concentration area is immediately reduced by 40% using PWM pulse modulation; power in the first area is reduced by 30% to activate power limiting protection; power in the second area is slightly increased by 5% to alleviate the gradient; and power in the neutral zone is adjusted accordingly. For every 10°C increase, power is adjusted by -0.3kW; cooling system control strategy: total liquid cooling flow rate is increased, and phase change heat absorbers are fully activated; if The rate of descent is <2°C / s or If the descent rate is <15MPa / s, the flow rate will be increased by 1L / min per second; Heat utilization path: the billet preheating channel is closed, and 100% of the residual heat is directionally transported to the stress concentration area, with a flow rate of... m³ / h; Cycle: Adjust parameters every 1 second, evaluate scene level every 1 second.
[0050] In this embodiment, the secondary risk scenario strategy, taking scenario A3+B3+C2 as an example, is as follows: Electric heating power adjustment: the power step decreases in the first region, and the power step increases in the second region; if the stress concentration area... ≥220MPa, power reduction of 0.4kW; neutral zone adjustment step ±0.2kW; cooling system control: start primary cooling, liquid cooling flow rate... (High-temperature zone accounts for 70%); Waste heat utilization path: Waste heat distribution ratio = f( ),like If the thickness is less than -0.5mm (too small), then the second zone compensation accounts for 60%, and the billet preheating accounts for 40%; if If the thickness is >0.5mm (too large), then the second region should be compensated by 30% and the billet preheated by 70%; Optimization objective: Under the premise of meeting risk degradation requirements, fine-tune the power distribution to make... Minimize; Cycle: Adjust parameters every 1 second, evaluate scene level every 2 seconds.
[0051] In this embodiment, the three-level risk scenario strategy, taking scenario A1+B1+C1 as an example, is as follows: Electric heating power adjustment: power fluctuation compensation step size for the three zones ≤ 0.1kW; based on Real-time values will allocate redundant power to areas with high waste heat recovery efficiency; Cooling system control: secondary cooling will be shut down, and primary cooling flow will be adjusted. L / min; Waste heat utilization path: Waste heat allocation ratio = 85% preheating of the next batch of billets + 15% workshop heating; If the waiting time for the new batch is >60s, the preheating ratio is reduced to 50%; Cycle: Monitor the prediction results every 5s, and maintain the strategy if there are no abnormalities.
[0052] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: power reduction and multi-stage cooling reduce stress and high-temperature damage, extending equipment life; directional waste heat transport improves stress distribution and realizes energy reuse; power step adjustment balances the power of equipment areas, ensuring uniform operation; cooling combined with waste heat utilization controls temperature and preheats the billet, improving efficiency; fine-tuning power maintains equipment stability and ensures production continuity; waste heat preheats the billet, and cooling is ready to respond to abnormalities, reducing costs.

This is the predicted temperature value for the outer arc side region; The core indicator corresponding to the stress parameter stratification is the maximum stress: ; This represents the predicted stress value for the inner arc side region; This represents the predicted stress value for the neutral region. This represents the predicted stress value for the outer arc side region; The core indicator corresponding to the deformation parameter layer is the deformation deviation, which determines whether the predicted deformation is within the target forming range.
[0054] In this embodiment, the global temperature gradient is: .
[0055] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By calculating the core indicators of temperature, stress, and deformation parameters at different levels, the state of equipment or objects can be quantitatively assessed from multiple key dimensions, providing a comprehensive and accurate understanding of their actual operating status. The global temperature gradient reflects differences in temperature distribution, the maximum stress reflects stress concentration, and the deformation deviation can detect whether it deviates from the forming target. These indicators help to promptly identify potential thermal stress, mechanical stress problems, and forming anomalies, providing early warnings of potential risks. They also provide clear quantitative basis for equipment maintenance and process adjustments, enabling decision-makers to formulate more targeted and scientific strategies based on specific indicator conditions, ensuring stable equipment operation and product quality.
