Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing and industrial digital twin technology, specifically a virtual simulation and status prediction system for glass production line operation data. Background Technology

[0002] In the current glass production line environment, the operation of the melting furnace is characterized by high temperature, high hysteresis and black box. During the production process, boundary condition data such as fuel flow rate and combustion air pressure, as well as disturbance variable data such as raw material composition and ambient temperature and humidity, are continuously generated. These data are usually scattered in heterogeneous systems such as DCS, LIMS and cold end detection.

[0003] For the aforementioned scenarios, existing quality control solutions generally rely on limited sensor monitoring or post-processing adjustments based on human experience. Because traditional sensors cannot penetrate deep into the liquid glass for measurement, blind spots exist in the observation of the high-temperature fluid state inside the melting furnace. Furthermore, existing quality inspections must wait until the glass melt has cooled and solidified; this delayed feedback mechanism struggles to capture the dynamic nonlinear effects of raw material composition fluctuations or environmental changes on the flow field evolution. This results in significant product loss by the time defects are detected, making it impossible to achieve refined and proactive closed-loop control of process parameters.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively integrate multi-dimensional time-series data to gain real-time insight into the internal flow field state, and to achieve accurate prediction and reverse optimization control of future finished product quality within a second-level time scale, thereby reducing the scrap rate, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

Combined with a temporal deep learning model, the system can uncover the deep nonlinear mapping relationship between operation, flow field, and quality, effectively overcoming the time lag of several hours from material feeding to forming in glass production, and achieving accurate prediction of the probability of future product defects, thereby avoiding the large amount of finished product loss caused by traditional lag inspection.

[0043] 3. When a high-risk defect is predicted, the present invention uses a third processing module to trigger a gradient descent-based reverse optimization algorithm, which can automatically search for the optimal control strategy in the coupled space of the simulation model and the deep learning model. Compared with the blindness of traditional methods that rely on human experience for post-event adjustments, the present invention can output a combination of recommended operating parameters that accurately suppress defects at specific locations and meet equipment constraints, thereby realizing refined closed-loop control of process parameters and significantly improving the intelligence level and yield of the production line.

[0044] 4. This invention not only incorporates fluctuations in raw material composition and disturbances such as ambient temperature and humidity into the monitoring scope to capture the continuous impact of uncontrollable external factors on the flow field, but also designs an online model correction module. The system can update the weight parameters of the deep learning model in real time based on the deviation between the actual detected feedback variable data and the prediction results, and even trigger the reconstruction of the physical model when necessary. This mechanism gives the system the ability to learn throughout its life, enabling it to adapt to the drift of physical properties caused by the erosion and aging of the refractory materials in the melting furnace, ensuring that the system maintains high-precision prediction and control capabilities throughout its entire life cycle.
