Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Currently, the continuous casting billet storage process has significant shortcomings in terms of comprehensive physical quantity perception and the construction of initial thermodynamic boundaries. Traditional storage methods only employ single-point, discontinuous temperature detection and lack an array-based multi-dimensional physical acquisition system, making it impossible to obtain the temperature field and refined spatial coordinates of the entire billet surface. Thermophysical parameters are mostly fixed constants, without segmented modeling and interpolation correction according to steel grade and temperature. The spatial coordinate system is not consistent with the storage equipment benchmark, making it difficult to construct a standardized initial boundary matrix that can be directly used for numerical solutions. This results in a lack of accurate and unified input foundation for subsequent thermodynamic calculations.

A three-dimensional transient heat conduction numerical model for high-temperature steel billets has not been established, and multi-physics boundary coupling of contact thermal resistance, natural convection, and thermal radiation has not been achieved. The finite difference discretization scheme, time-stepping iteration, and sparse matrix solution mechanism are imperfect, resulting in low accuracy and poor stability of temperature field calculations. It is impossible to quantitatively predict the three-dimensional temperature distribution, temperature drop rate, and temperature gradient of the steel billet at any extraction time, making it difficult to support the accurate assessment of the thermal state of the steel billet.

[0020] Example 1
[0021] Its specific implementation method is combined with the appendix Figure 1 Please provide a detailed explanation.
[0022] Appendix Figure 1 The structural block diagram of the panoramic intelligent collaborative management platform for steel enterprises based on industrial big data provided in the embodiments of the present invention shows the connection relationship between the multi-dimensional physical quantity acquisition and initial boundary matrix construction module and the physical scheduling instruction conversion and equipment coordination module, and marks the main functional interaction flow of each module.
[0023] In this embodiment, it includes: The multidimensional physical quantity acquisition and initial boundary matrix construction module is configured to construct a global initial boundary matrix for thermodynamic numerical solutions by acquiring billet temperature, thermal properties, spatial coordinates and storage environment parameters. Specifically, it includes: This module is responsible for converting the billet and storage environment into standardized physical parameters that can be directly input into partial differential equations.
[0024] Initial temperature field acquisition and mapping: Hardware data acquisition: An infrared temperature array sensor (non-contact, temperature accuracy ±1℃, temperature range 300℃~1200℃) is connected to the output roller conveyor of the continuous casting machine. ≥8 temperature measurement points are evenly arranged along the length of the billet and ≥4 temperature measurement points are evenly arranged along the width. The acquisition frequency is 10Hz, acquiring multi-point temperature values of the upper surface, lower surface, and four sides of the billet in real time. The sensor and roller conveyor encoder are linked in real time to ensure automatic triggering of data acquisition when the billet reaches the temperature measurement area, avoiding blank sampling and missed data acquisition. A complete surface temperature matrix is generated for each billet.
[0025] Time synchronization: When acquiring temperature data, the PLC system timestamp is simultaneously latched to accurately record the moment when the billet cutting is completed. Timing of billet unloading , When entering the slab warehouse Each timestamp is accurate to the millisecond level and is used for subsequent initial calculations of temperature decay, ensuring that the time base for thermodynamic calculations is completely consistent.
[0026] Thermophysical property parameter acquisition: The system has a built-in thermophysical property database segmented by steel grade and temperature, storing information including carbon equivalent, alloy composition, and density for different grades such as Q235, Q355, 45#, high-strength structural steel, and alloy steel. Specific heat capacity at constant pressure Thermal conductivity Piecewise functions / discrete data tables that vary with temperature; the database is segmented and stored in 50°C intervals, covering the entire range of 300°C to 1200°C.
[0027] The system uses linear interpolation based on the billet grade and current average temperature to calculate the accurate temperature at a given point. , , The values are not fixed constants, ensuring that the calculation benchmark is unique and reproducible. If the temperature falls between two segmented intervals, bilinear interpolation is automatically performed to ensure that the physical property parameters remain continuous without abrupt changes.
[0028] 3D spatial mesh generation and property matrix construction: Definition of spatial coordinate system: The origin is a corner of the slab warehouse. The length direction is Axial and width directions are Axis and height directions are A three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is established, with coordinate units in mm and a positioning accuracy of ±5 mm. This coordinate system shares the same reference with the unmanned overhead crane and warehouse positioning system, eliminating coordinate transformation bias.
[0029] Mesh discretization rule: Distribute the entire slab library according to... 500mm axis step size 500mm axis step size The axis step size is 300mm, which is divided into uniform three-dimensional mesh units. Each mesh unit is assigned a unique ID number. For steel billets with irregular cross sections, the system automatically and adaptively adjusts the local mesh density to ensure that the mesh completely fits the outline of the steel billet.
[0030] Upon entering the warehouse, steel billets are automatically matched and assigned to corresponding grid cells based on their actual length, width, and height. The set of grid IDs and center coordinates of each steel billet are recorded. By defining the boundary coordinate range and the total number of grid cells occupied, the spatial location of the billet can be accurately expressed digitally.
[0031] Initial property matrix generation: The initial temperature field of a single steel billet , , , Spatial grid range, timestamp encapsulated as A 6-dimensional initial matrix is generated, and the matrices of all steel billets are aggregated into a global initial boundary matrix, stored in a floating-point array format, and directly used as input to the computation engine. Each row of the matrix corresponds to a grid node, and each column corresponds to a physical parameter, which can be directly read and called by the numerical solution module.
[0032] Real-time collection and calculation of warehouse environment boundary conditions: Environmental data collection: ≥4 sets of temperature and humidity sensors and wind speed sensors are evenly distributed within the slab warehouse, located at the four corners of the warehouse area. Data collection range: Ambient temperature (-10℃~60℃, accuracy ±0.5℃), airflow rate (0~5m / s, accuracy ±0.1m / s), sampling frequency 1Hz.
[0033] The system performs arithmetic averaging on multiple sets of sensor data to eliminate errors caused by local environmental fluctuations and obtain globally unified environmental boundary parameters.
[0034] convective heat transfer coefficient The calculations were performed using natural convection correlations: ; in: It is a constant (0.54 for horizontal surfaces and 0.59 for vertical surfaces). The thermal conductivity of air, For Grashof numbers, For Prandtl numbers, The characteristic length of the steel billet; The system has a built-in air property parameter table that automatically retrieves parameters based on the ambient temperature. , The numerical value is automatically calculated in real time based on the billet's placement posture using the corresponding formula. The value is calculated and the result is rounded to three decimal places.
[0035] Radiative heat transfer Calculation: Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law: ; in: The surface emissivity of the steel billet is 0.8~0.9 (for oxidized surfaces). For Boltzmann constant, The surface temperature of the steel billet is used as the final output. The third type of boundary condition, which is coupled with convective and radiative heat dissipation, is numerically input into the calculation engine. The boundary condition is directly substituted into the discrete equation in the form of nodal heat flux density (the discrete equation corresponds to the three-dimensional transient heat conduction equation of the transient heat conduction calculation engine module based on partial differential equations).
[0036] Data validation and fault tolerance: If the sensor data acquisition is abnormal (overheating, disconnection, data jump), the system will automatically use the valid data from the previous moment to interpolate and complete the data. If the acquisition is abnormal for 3 consecutive times, an alarm will be triggered and the system will automatically switch to redundant sensor data. If all sensors fail, the system will automatically call the historical average environmental value for the same period to ensure that the boundary conditions are continuous and uninterrupted, and will not affect the subsequent calculation process.
[0037] The transient heat conduction calculation engine module based on partial differential equations is configured to use the three-dimensional transient heat conduction equations, coupled with contact thermal resistance and convection-radiation boundary, and iteratively solve the three-dimensional temperature field of the billet at the target extraction time using the finite difference method. Specifically, it includes: Three-dimensional transient heat conduction equation (isotropic, no internal heat source): ; in, Temperature, the temperature field inside the material, is represented by spatial coordinates. and time function ; For time, the time variable in the heat conduction process; Physical meaning: The rate of change of internal energy of a steel billet per unit volume = heat flux density divergence in three directions, which fully describes the internal heat conduction process of the steel billet; Applicable conditions: solid steel billet, no phase change (before phase change), no flow, no internal heat source, applicable to the full temperature range cooling process of high-temperature steel billets after continuous casting.
[0038] The rate of change of internal energy per unit volume of material over time (i.e., heat storage rate). Within a unit volume, through , , Net heat transfer rate in three directions (inflow / outflow); Finite Difference Method (FDM) Discretization: Spatial discretization: using a central difference scheme for... Directional second-order partial derivative discretization: ; in , The average thermal conductivity between nodes is calculated using an arithmetic mean, ensuring the accuracy of thermal conductivity calculations for heterogeneous materials. For steel billets Grid step size in direction (spatial distance between adjacent nodes); Time discretization: Implicit Euler scheme (unconditionally stable), time step size A fixed step size of 1 second is used to avoid calculation divergence; for long-term prediction scenarios, the step size can be automatically increased but not exceeding 5 seconds, while ensuring calculation accuracy.
[0039] Grid node numbering: Assigning grid nodes to each steel billet internally A three-dimensional index is used to establish discrete algebraic equations for each node. All node equations are aggregated to form a global sparse linear equation system, and the size of the equation system corresponds exactly to the number of grids.
[0040] Calculation of contact thermal resistance and multi-boundary coupling: Contact thermal resistance Values: The system has a built-in database of billet-to-billet contact thermal resistance, and the value range is determined based on billet surface roughness, oxide scale thickness, and stacking pressure. The greater the stacking pressure, the larger the contact area. The smaller; The system automatically matches the corresponding contact thermal resistance based on the number of stacked layers. Numerical value, interfacial heat flux density: , , These represent the temperatures at the interface of the two contacting steel billets; this achieves heat flow coupling between the two billets, ensuring continuous heat transfer at the interface.
[0041] Boundary partitioning: Billet-to-billet contact surface: thermally conductive boundary. Considering contact thermal resistance, the heat flux density is substituted into the three-dimensional transient heat conduction finite difference discretization equation at the boundary mesh nodes. The heat flux density generated by the contact thermal resistance is then used to solve the problem. As a known term, the internal heat conduction term in the corresponding direction in the original equation is replaced, thereby completing the numerical application of the heat conduction boundary condition. The process is as follows: by Taking direction as an example, internal nodes The discrete equation (derived from the central difference) is: ; This equation describes the rate of temperature change of the internal nodes, equal to the rate of temperature change from... , , Net heat flow in three directions.
[0042] Then, substitute the boundary heat flux density into the discrete equations of the boundary nodes: When node When located on the billet-to-billet contact surface, it is no longer an internal node, but a boundary node. At this point, The directional thermal conductivity will be affected by the heat flux density generated by the contact thermal resistance. The boundary node discrete equations, after substitution, become: ; Among them, heat flux density The contact thermal resistance formula gives: ; Billet-air exposed surface: convection and radiation coupling boundary. , The natural convection heat transfer coefficient is calculated from the ambient temperature, air velocity, and billet posture. The temperature of the exposed surface of the steel billet. The temperature of the air in the storage environment. The emissivity of the steel billet surface (typically 0.8~0.9 for anodized surfaces) is given. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, the heat flux of nodal heat dissipation is directly calculated; The contact surface between the bottom of the billet and the support beam has a fixed thermal resistance boundary, and the thermal resistance value is uniformly set to a fixed value. ; All boundary conditions are transformed into algebraic equations of nodal temperatures, which are then substituted into the global discrete equation system without altering the structure of the equation system, thus ensuring the stability of the solution.
[0043] Time step iteration and target time solution: Inputs: Initial temperature field, property matrix, boundary conditions, planned extraction time. (Issued by the steel rolling process, accurate to the second); Iterative process: from the moment of entering the slab warehouse Beginning, with The linear equations are solved step by step, with a step size of 1, and the temperature of all nodes is updated. The solver adopts the catch-up method and is optimized for sparse matrices to improve computational efficiency. Convergence criterion: The current step is considered converged when the maximum temperature change in a single step meets the preset requirement (<0.1℃); if it does not converge, the iteration margin is automatically reduced and the calculation is repeated until the condition is met. Output: Arrived At time t, output the three-dimensional temperature field of each steel billet. Core temperature, surface temperature, maximum temperature difference, temperature gradient, and cooling rate are all stored as grid node data for subsequent optimization modules to access.
[0044] Calculate fault tolerance: If the number of iterations exceeds the limit or the system of equations is singular, the system will automatically adjust the time step slightly. (Recalculate); if multiple calculations fail, automatically simplify the boundary conditions (ignore radiation and retain only heat conduction and convection) to ensure that the results are output, and record the calculation mode for subsequent verification.
[0045] The stacking topology optimization and total enthalpy evaluation module is configured to maximize the total sensible enthalpy as the optimization objective, select the optimal stacking topology under equipment, safety and process constraints, and prevent billet cooling cracking by using the phase transformation temperature threshold. Specifically, it includes: Calculation of total sensible enthalpy: Total enthalpy formula: ; For the entire volume occupied by the steel billet Perform a triple integral to accumulate the enthalpy values of all infinitesimal elements; Numerical integration method: The three-dimensional trapezoidal integration method is used to integrate the volume of each grid cell occupied by the steel billet. ; For a single grid volume ( During integration, the results are accumulated grid by grid, and empty grids not occupied by steel billets are automatically excluded to ensure accurate integration results.
[0046] Calculation range: enthalpy values for a single stack or the entire warehouse can be selected. The larger the value, the less heat is lost, making it the optimal core indicator; the system also calculates the average temperature and temperature drop as auxiliary evaluation indicators.

[0048] The constraints include: Equipment constraints: The maximum load capacity of the overhead crane shall be less than or equal to the rated load (e.g., 30t). The operating distance does not exceed the warehouse body, and a single hook can only lift one steel billet at a time; Safety constraints: stacking height-to-width ratio ≤ 2.0, stacking center of gravity offset ≤ 100mm, interlayer misalignment not exceeding 1 / 5 of the billet width; Process constraints: first-in, first-out; rolling time window error ≤ 10 min; steel billets of the same order should be stacked together. Optimization Algorithm: A heuristic traversal optimization is used to calculate the enthalpy value of all feasible solutions and directly select the optimal one.

The population size is 50, the number of iterations is 20, the crossover probability is 0.7, the mutation probability is 0.1, and the best individual is retained in each generation to ensure that the solution converges quickly to the global optimum.
[0049] Scheme sorting: Sort all feasible schemes from highest to lowest enthalpy value to generate alternative schemes, which can be directly switched when the main scheme fails.
[0050] It also includes phase change threshold interception and security determination: Phase transformation database: The system contains the critical points of martensitic phase transformation for various steel grades. The thermometer is calibrated based on material test data, such as high-strength steel. carbon steel The database allows for precise searching by steel grade.
[0051] Judgment rule: Extract Lowest local temperature of steel billet at any time ,like If the cooling rate exceeds the material's critical cooling rate, it is also considered a risky solution. Processing logic: Automatically reject the proposed solution, forcibly replace it with a thermally insulated topology that uses high-temperature steel billets to cover low-temperature steel billets, reduces exposed area, increases stacking density, and ensures airtight stacking, and recalculates the temperature field until... And the cooling rate meets the standard; Solution output: The system outputs the billet number, target coordinates, stacking relationship, insulation method, expected enthalpy, temperature index, and safety judgment result of the optimal topology, forming a unique executable solution. The solution comes with complete calculation basis and is traceable and verifiable.

[0053] Action instructions are broken down as follows: Transfer command: Target coordinates and running speed (alignment at high speed 50m / min, low speed 5m / min, automatic deceleration when 500mm from the target position); Clamping commands: clamping pressure, opening degree, lifting height; clamping closing accuracy ±2mm. Positioning command: Positioning accuracy ±10mm, timeout judgment 30s, automatic retry if not in place within timeout.
[0054] Stacking operation timing locking and sequence output: Stacking action timing generation: According to the preset principle (far first then near, top first then bottom, no collision principle), generate an action sequence with absolute timestamp, with an action interval of ≥2s to avoid interference from multiple overhead cranes; the system automatically performs spatial collision detection, predicts the intersection of motion trajectories, and adjusts the timing to avoid interference areas.

The instruction length is fixed, which facilitates PLC parsing and execution.
[0057] Communication and closed-loop feedback: Communication protocol: Communicates with the overhead crane PLC via Profinet / ModbusTCP, with a data transmission frequency of 50Hz. Commands are retransmitted 3 times after a timeout, with each retransmission spaced 500ms apart.

[0058] Execution feedback: The system compares the overhead crane return to position signal, action completion signal, fault signal, and current coordinates in real time with the optimal topology to see if the execution result is consistent with the optimal topology. If the deviation exceeds the preset allowable range (±10mm), the execution is judged to be abnormal. Anomaly Handling: If execution fails (collision, timeout, fault), the system will automatically recalculate the current temperature field, generate a corrected topology and emergency instructions, prioritize the safety of billet insulation, and ensure that the process is not interrupted.
[0059] Execution closed loop: After the anomaly handling action is completed, the new coordinates and temperature field of the billet are updated and synchronously written into the initial boundary matrix as the initial conditions for the next scheduling, forming a complete and controllable closed loop of physical perception, numerical calculation, topology optimization, equipment execution, and data update.
