Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial automation control technology, specifically relating to a single-machine material level control system and method for an electric separator. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of mineral separation such as sea sand and ore, electrostatic separation is one of the key separation processes. Its stable operation is highly dependent on the precise control of the material level in the hopper of a single unit. Ideally, the material level control should be able to respond quickly to external disturbances (such as changes in upstream feed) and stabilize the material level within the optimal range required by the process, thereby ensuring separation efficiency and product quality.
[0003] Currently, the industry mainly adopts the following two technical solutions for material level control in electrostatic precipitator hoppers: Manual experience-based control combined with simple logic-based "on / off" adjustment requires operators to continuously observe the level gauges of multiple silos and manually adjust the operating frequency of the feed motor based on the rough rule of "lower frequency at high levels and higher frequency at low levels." However, due to the large number of silos, the inherent lag in the mechanical and electrical response of the system, and the variability of material characteristics (such as flowability and moisture), this method is not only labor-intensive but also heavily reliant on personal experience. It is prone to problems such as untimely adjustment, over-adjustment, or under-adjustment, causing the material level to fluctuate significantly around the target value, making true stable control impossible and directly affecting the electrostatic separation process parameters.
[0004] The traditional fixed-parameter proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control strategy is adopted. While this approach achieves a certain degree of automation, it has significant limitations in complex operating conditions such as electrostatic precipitator production. (1) Parameter solidification and working condition contradiction: During the electrostatic separation of sea sand, the characteristics of material type, particle size, humidity and other properties are frequently switched. Different material characteristics have different requirements for the response speed and stability of the control system. A fixed set of PID parameters (especially integral time I and derivative time D) cannot achieve ideal control effect under all working conditions.
[0005] (2) Lack of adaptive capability: When the working conditions change, it is necessary to rely on manual adjustment and trial and error of parameters. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to guarantee that the optimal parameters can be obtained every time, which leads to the interruption of production continuity and restricts the improvement of intelligent production level.
[0006] (3) Rigid sampling strategy: Traditional PID controllers usually use a fixed sampling period. When the system is stable, high-frequency sampling will consume unnecessary computing and communication resources. When the system experiences large disturbances, a fixed or low sampling frequency cannot capture rapid dynamic changes, resulting in slow response. Therefore, such schemes lack a mechanism to adaptively adjust the sampling frequency according to the real-time dynamic characteristics of the system. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a single-machine material level control system and method for an electrostatic separator, which effectively solves the problems existing in the prior art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The single-unit material level control system for the electrostatic precipitator includes: The material level detection device is used to collect material level data in real time and transmit it to the PLC controller; The PLC controller is used to determine the adjustment amount of the feeding motor frequency based on the received material level data and the material level difference between two adjacent samples as the rate of change; based on the rate of change and a dynamic proportional coefficient, the controller constructs a motor speed adjustment command based on the obtained adjustment amount and sends it to the feeding frequency converter; wherein, the interval between two adjacent samples is determined based on a sampling strategy adaptive mechanism, and the dynamic proportional coefficient is adaptively adjusted based on a parameter self-tuning strategy to adapt to different material conditions. A feeder frequency converter is used to adjust the speed of the feeder motor based on received motor speed adjustment commands, thereby achieving precise feed control.
[0009] Furthermore, the step of determining the adjustment amount of the feed motor frequency based on the rate of change combined with the dynamic proportional coefficient specifically involves: based on a preset material level threshold, increasing the feed motor frequency when it is higher than the preset material level threshold and decreasing the feed motor frequency when it is lower than the preset material level threshold as the basic control logic; calculating the material level difference between the latest two adjacent samples as the rate of change according to a predetermined sampling interval, and multiplying it by the dynamic proportional coefficient to determine the adjustment amount of the feed motor frequency; and determining the latest feed motor output frequency based on the adjustment amount of the feed motor frequency combined with the output frequency of the previous cycle.
[0010] Furthermore, the output frequency of the feed motor is specifically expressed as follows: in, This is the latest feed motor output frequency. This is the output frequency of the previous cycle. This refers to the adjustment amount of the feed motor frequency. The dynamic proportional coefficient determined in the previous cycle. for The rate of change is calculated based on the difference between the current sampled material level and the previous sampled material level. for The material level is sampled at all times. for The material level is sampled at all times.
[0011] Furthermore, the adaptive sampling strategy mechanism is specifically as follows: Based on the material level data sequence sampled within the preset evaluation window, the mean absolute deviation and mean absolute rate of change are calculated respectively. Based on the obtained mean absolute deviation and mean absolute rate of change, combined with a preset threshold, the system operating state is determined; wherein, the system operating state includes quasi-steady state, large disturbance or response hysteresis, and dynamic steady state. Based on the obtained system operating status, the sampling interval between two adjacent samplings is dynamically adjusted.
[0012] Furthermore, the dynamic adjustment of the interval between two adjacent samplings is specifically expressed as follows: When the system is in a quasi-steady state, the following adjustments are performed: If and only if the mean absolute deviation is less than the lower limit of deviation and the mean absolute rate of change is less than the lower limit of rate of change and the stable duration is greater than the stable duration threshold. When the system is experiencing a large disturbance or slow response, the following adjustments should be made: If and only if the absolute rate of change at the current moment is greater than the preset disturbance threshold, or if the absolute deviation at the current moment is greater than the upper limit of the deviation and the absolute rate of change at the current moment is less than the lower limit of the rate of change and the stable duration is greater than the hysteresis judgment time threshold. When the system is in a dynamically stable state, that is, when it does not meet the requirements of quasi-steady state and response hysteresis state, the current sampling interval remains unchanged; in, The latest sampling interval after adjustment. This is the upper limit of the sampling interval. This is the lower limit of the sampling interval. For the current sampling interval, To extend the sampling period, To shorten the sampling period.
[0013] Furthermore, the dynamic proportional coefficient is adaptively adjusted for gain based on a parameter self-tuning strategy, specifically as follows: Based on the material level data sequence sampled within the preset evaluation window, the mean absolute deviation, mean absolute rate of change, and oscillation index are calculated respectively. Based on the obtained mean absolute deviation, mean absolute rate of change, and oscillation index, combined with a preset threshold, the control performance status is determined; wherein, the control performance status includes under-regulation, over-regulation, and acceptable performance. Based on the obtained control performance status, the dynamic proportional coefficient is adaptively adjusted for gain.
[0014] Furthermore, the dynamic scaling factor is specifically expressed as follows: When the control performance status is under-adjusted, the following adjustments are performed: If and only if the mean absolute deviation is greater than the upper limit of deviation and the mean absolute rate of change is less than the lower limit of rate of change; When the control performance status is over-adjusted, the following adjustments are performed: If and only if the mean absolute deviation is less than the lower limit of deviation and the mean absolute rate of change is greater than the upper limit of rate of change, or the oscillation index is greater than the oscillation index threshold; When the control performance is in an acceptable state, i.e., when it does not meet the conditions of under-regulation or over-regulation, the current dynamic proportional coefficient remains unchanged. Finally, regarding the states of under-regulation and over-regulation, As the latest dynamic scaling factor; in, This is the upper limit of the dynamic scaling factor. This is the lower limit of the dynamic proportional coefficient. To increase the amplitude of the dynamic scaling factor, To reduce the amplitude of the dynamic scaling factor.
[0015] A method for controlling the material level in a single hopper of an electrostatic precipitator, based on the aforementioned control system for the material level in a single hopper of an electrostatic precipitator, includes: Real-time material level data collection; Based on the obtained material level data sequence, the material level difference between the latest two adjacent samples is used as the rate of change; the adjustment amount of the feeding motor frequency is determined based on the rate of change and the dynamic proportional coefficient; the motor speed adjustment command is constructed based on the obtained adjustment amount; wherein, the interval between the two adjacent samples is determined based on the sampling strategy adaptive mechanism, and the dynamic proportional coefficient is adaptively adjusted based on the parameter self-tuning strategy to adapt to different material working conditions. Based on the obtained motor speed adjustment command, the speed of the feeding motor is adjusted to achieve precise feeding control.
[0016] An electronic device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and running on it. When the processor executes the program, it implements the above-described method for controlling the material level of a single hopper in an electric separator.
[0017] A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the aforementioned method for controlling the material level of a single hopper in an electric separator.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention provides a single-machine silo material level control system and method for an electric separator. The solution effectively overcomes the system lag by dynamically monitoring the material level and adjusting it in real time, and can control the material level fluctuation range within a very narrow preset range, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and stability of the control. (2) The solution described in this invention achieves an advanced response to the trend of material level change, fundamentally overcoming the control lag. Specifically, the solution abandons the traditional direct control based on the deviation of "material level - set value" and innovatively adopts the material level change rate (i.e., derivative) as the core control quantity. With this setting, when the material level just begins to drop (even if the absolute material level is still higher than the target value), the negative change rate will immediately trigger the adjustment of frequency increase, and vice versa. This control strategy based on "speed" rather than "position" enables the system to predict the future trend of material level and make advanced adjustments, which can effectively suppress the large fluctuation of material level caused by the large inertia of the system, thereby quickly converging to a stable state. (3) The scheme of the present invention significantly improves the robustness and self-learning ability of the system to various working conditions by constructing a two-layer adaptive mechanism of dynamic proportional coefficient and sampling interval. Specifically, in the self-tuning process of dynamic proportional coefficient, the scheme system evaluates the control effect in real time through online performance indicators such as mean absolute deviation (static accuracy), mean absolute rate of change (dynamic intensity), and oscillation index (oscillation degree). According to the strategy of increasing the gain when the adjustment is insufficient and decreasing the gain when the adjustment is excessive, the dynamic proportional coefficient is adaptively adjusted. This enables the system of the present invention to automatically adjust its own gain to the state that best matches the working condition when dealing with materials with different fluidity and viscosity, completely eliminating the burden of repeated manual parameter adjustment. Secondly, in the adaptive adjustment of sampling interval, the sampling period is automatically extended in quasi-steady state to save resources, and the sampling period is automatically shortened in the event of large disturbance or response lag to improve the response speed. By dynamically changing the sensing capability, the system can achieve optimal resource allocation while ensuring control accuracy and further enhance the ability to deal with sudden working conditions. (4) The solution described in this invention forms a complete intelligent control closed loop, which improves the level of production automation and intelligence. Specifically, the solution organically integrates trend prediction (rate of change control), self-evaluation (performance index calculation) and strategy optimization (dynamic proportional coefficient and sampling interval adjustment) into a closed loop framework. Through this closed loop framework, the system described in this invention can continuously perceive the environment (i.e. different working conditions) and its own performance, and optimize the control behavior accordingly. The solution can automatically maintain high-precision and stable control of the material level without human intervention, ensuring the continuous optimal electro-separation process conditions and improving the sorting efficiency and product quality stability.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Example 1 The following is a detailed description of the single-machine hopper level control system for the electrostatic separator in Embodiment 1, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] The solution described in this embodiment is an optimization and upgrade based on the traditional control logic of "increasing frequency at high levels and decreasing frequency at low levels". Its core is that when the material level deviates from the preset value, the system collects continuous material level data according to the preset sampling interval, calculates the difference in material level between two adjacent samples as the rate of change, and multiplies it by the dynamic proportional coefficient K to dynamically determine the precise adjustment amount of the feed motor frequency. At the same time, the system has self-learning ability. If the material level change rate still does not improve significantly after multiple adjustments, the system will automatically adjust the dynamic proportional coefficient K to achieve adaptive matching for different material conditions. Secondly, to address the inherent lag in material level response, this system introduces an adaptive sampling strategy mechanism to optimize control performance. The core of this mechanism is to establish an intelligent correlation between the sampling interval T and the system operating state: if the material level change rate is still too low after multiple adaptive adjustments of the dynamic proportional coefficient K, the sampling interval T will be automatically extended; conversely, if the material level change rate is detected to be too high or the response is sluggish, the sampling interval T will be dynamically shortened to improve the control response speed. Through this mechanism, an autonomous trade-off between control real-time performance and operating efficiency is achieved, enabling the system to maintain optimal control performance under different operating conditions, significantly improving the system's control accuracy and adaptability.
