[0002] Currently, in the cement production process, clinker performance is a core indicator determining the quality of the final cement product, directly affecting the structural safety and service life of building projects. Its stability control has always been a key focus of production management in the cement industry. Clinker performance is easily affected by multiple factors, including external variables such as fluctuations in raw material composition, changes in coal calorific value and ash content, as well as differences in the regulation of internal production parameters such as cement kiln calcination temperature, rotation speed, and feed rate. However, the accuracy of current clinker strength prediction data is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus for adjusting cement kiln process parameters based on the prediction of clinker strength at the kiln outlet, so as to solve the technical problem of low accuracy of current clinker strength prediction data.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for adjusting cement kiln process parameters based on the predicted strength of the clinker discharged from the kiln, the method comprising: Obtain the raw material batching ratio and the process parameters of the cement kiln; Based on the raw material proportioning ratio and the process parameters of the cement kiln, the strength of clinker at a specified time is predicted to obtain the initial clinker strength prediction value at a specified time. The initial clinker strength prediction value over a specified time is determined as the initial benchmark value for the strength prediction of the clinker after a specified time. A calibrated prediction model for the intensity of kiln clinker at a specified time is constructed based on the initial benchmark value, historical clinker strength data, and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data. Based on the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material proportioning ratio and the corresponding chemical analysis data of the raw materials, the calibrated prediction model is used to predict the intensity of the final clinker at a specified time after exiting the kiln. Based on the predicted intensity of the final clinker at a specified time, the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the raw meal proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw meal, process adjustment parameters for the cement kiln are generated.

[0005] In one possible implementation, the raw meal proportioning and cement kiln process parameters include the raw meal proportioning and key cement kiln process parameters; the step of predicting the clinker strength at a specified time based on the raw meal proportioning and cement kiln process parameters, to obtain the predicted clinker strength at a specified time, includes: A basic clinker strength prediction model was obtained through model training based on historical clinker data from kilns. Abnormal data in the raw material batching ratio and key process parameters of cement kiln are eliminated by preprocessing the raw material batching ratio and key process parameters of cement kiln to obtain preprocessed data. The preprocessed data is used as the input features of the basic clinker strength prediction model. Based on the input features, the basic clinker strength prediction model is used to calculate the basic clinker strength prediction value for a specified time.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the calibration prediction model for the intensity of kiln clinker at a specified time, constructed based on the initial reference value, historical clinker intensity data, and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data, includes: Obtain historical clinker intensity measurement data for a specified duration and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data; The measured intensity data of the historical clinker over a specified time and the X-ray diffraction data of the corresponding batch of clinker are correlated and matched with the initial reference value to obtain the feature matching result; Based on the feature matching results, a calibrated prediction model for the intensity of kiln clinker over a specified time is constructed using deep learning to complete the model calibration.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the clinker X-ray diffraction data are the measured X-ray diffraction data of the clinker exiting the kiln; The step of predicting the intensity of the clinker at a specified time after discharge from the kiln using the calibrated prediction model, based on the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material proportioning, and the chemical analysis data of the raw materials, includes: The measured X-ray diffraction data of the clinker exiting the kiln, the current process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw materials are used as dynamic feedback features and continuously input into the calibrated prediction model for prediction. This allows the calibrated prediction model to adapt to the fluctuations in the operating conditions during the production process. Through real-time feedback iteration, the predicted data of the intensity of the clinker exiting the kiln for a specified time is obtained as the output result.

[0008] In one possible implementation, generating process adjustment parameters for the cement kiln based on predicted data of the final clinker intensity over a specified time, clinker X-ray diffraction data, raw meal proportions, and chemical analysis data of the raw meal raw materials includes: Based on the predicted intensity of the final clinker at a specified time, the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the raw material proportioning, and the chemical analysis data of the raw material, the optimal adjustment range of the process parameters for the cement kiln is obtained by calculation through the process parameter optimization model within the algorithm.

[0009] In one possible implementation, before calculating the optimal adjustment range of the process parameters for the cement kiln based on the predicted data of the intensity of the final clinker at a specified time, the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the raw meal proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw meal, using the process parameter optimization model within the algorithm, the following is also included: A function set M is constructed to represent the process parameter optimization model through functions. The function set M contains sub-functions [M1, M2, M3...Mn] covering the entire process. M1 is an index function, which is an implicit function containing all control variables and external variables, used to calculate the output optimization function through machine learning algorithms.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the optimization function computed by the machine learning algorithm includes: The optimization function is calculated by advancing the algorithm according to different granularities to complete the global optimization, and / or by calculating the optimization function through an approximation algorithm. The system uses iterative self-learning to predict the strength of clinker exiting the cement kiln and continuously outputs data for adjusting cement kiln process parameters.

[0011] Secondly, this application provides a cement kiln process parameter adjustment device based on the prediction of clinker strength, comprising: The acquisition module is used to acquire the raw material batching ratio and the process parameters of the cement kiln; The first prediction module is used to predict the strength of clinker at a specified time based on the raw material proportion and the process parameters of the cement kiln, and to obtain the initial clinker strength prediction value at a specified time. The determination module is used to determine the initial clinker strength prediction value over a specified time as the initial benchmark value for the strength prediction of the clinker exiting the kiln over a specified time. The construction module is used to construct a calibrated prediction model of the intensity of kiln clinker for a specified time based on the initial benchmark value, historical clinker strength data and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data; The second prediction module is used to make predictions based on the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material batching ratio and the corresponding chemical analysis data of the raw materials, through the calibrated prediction model, to obtain the predicted data of the final clinker intensity at a specified time after exiting the kiln. The generation module is used to generate process adjustment parameters for the cement kiln based on the predicted data of the intensity of the final clinker at a specified time, the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the raw material proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw material.

[0012] Thirdly, this application also provides an electronic device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program that can run on the processor, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the method described in the first aspect above.

[0013] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when invoked and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method described in the first aspect above.

[0014] This application brings the following beneficial effects: This application provides a method and apparatus for adjusting cement kiln process parameters based on clinker strength prediction. The method can obtain the raw meal ratio and the cement kiln process parameters; predict the clinker strength at a specified time based on the raw meal ratio and the cement kiln process parameters to obtain an initial clinker strength prediction value for a specified time; determine the initial clinker strength prediction value for a specified time as the initial reference value for predicting the clinker strength at a specified time; construct a calibrated prediction model for the clinker strength at a specified time based on the initial reference value, historical clinker strength data, and X-ray diffraction data of the corresponding batches of clinker; and predict the final clinker strength at a specified time based on the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the cement kiln process parameters, the raw meal ratio, and the corresponding chemical analysis data of the raw meal materials using the calibrated prediction model to obtain the final clinker strength at a specified time. The method involves predicting the intensity of clinker at a specified duration based on the predicted intensity of the final clinker exiting the kiln, the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the raw material proportioning, and the chemical analysis data of the raw material. This method uses X-ray diffraction data of the cement clinker to predict the intensity of the clinker exiting the kiln. This leverages the diffraction data and deep learning technology to enhance the accuracy of the clinker intensity prediction, reduce prediction errors, and achieve rapid and accurate prediction of the intensity of the clinker at a specified duration. This solves the technical problem of low accuracy in predicting clinker intensity. Furthermore, it allows for real-time adjustment and optimization of the cement kiln process parameters, enabling timely adjustment of the kiln calcination process parameters based on the logical relationship between the diffraction data of the cement clinker, the predicted clinker intensity, and the kiln process parameters.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in the embodiments of this application, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include other steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0020] Currently, under the traditional production model, it takes 28 days to obtain the measured value of clinker strength. This method has a significant time lag. If the test results are substandard, the produced clinker will face quality defects, and the results cannot be fed back to the production stage in a timely manner to adjust process parameters, easily leading to a large amount of raw material waste and production efficiency loss. Moreover, the accuracy of the current predicted clinker strength data is relatively low.

[0021] Based on this, the present application provides a method and apparatus for adjusting cement kiln process parameters based on the prediction of clinker strength at the kiln outlet. This method can solve the technical problem of low accuracy of clinker strength prediction data at the kiln outlet.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting cement kiln process parameters based on the prediction of clinker strength, provided as an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step S110: Obtain the raw material batching ratio and the process parameters of the cement kiln.

[0024] In one possible implementation, this step involves obtaining the raw material batching and the process parameters of the cement kiln, i.e., obtaining the raw material ratio and the process parameters of the cement kiln.

[0025] Step S120: Based on the raw material proportion and the process parameters of the cement kiln, predict the strength of the clinker at a specified time to obtain the initial clinker strength prediction value at a specified time.

[0026] In this step, such as Figure 2 As shown, based on the raw meal proportioning and the process parameters of the cement kiln, the strength of clinker at a specified time (e.g., 28 days) is predicted. For example, the raw meal proportioning and the process parameters of the cement kiln include the raw meal proportioning ratio and key process parameters of the cement kiln. Predicting the clinker strength at a specified time based on these parameters yields the predicted clinker strength value, which may specifically include the following steps: A basic clinker strength prediction model is obtained through model training based on historical clinker data from the kiln. Abnormal data in the raw meal proportion and key process parameters of the cement kiln are eliminated by preprocessing to obtain preprocessed data. The preprocessed data is used as the input features of the basic clinker strength prediction model. Based on the input features, the basic clinker strength prediction model is used to calculate the basic clinker strength prediction value for a specified time.

[0027] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, a basic clinker strength prediction model is constructed. The raw material proportion and key process parameters of the cement kiln are used as input features. After preprocessing to eliminate abnormal data, the model is substituted into the basic prediction model trained with historical clinker data to calculate the basic clinker strength prediction value for a specified time (e.g., 28 days).

[0028] Step S130: Determine the initial clinker strength prediction value for a specified time as the initial benchmark value for the strength prediction of the clinker after a specified time.

[0029] In one possible implementation, this value is set as the initial baseline value for predicting the 28-day strength of the clinker after kiln exit, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the predicted strength of clinker at 28 days is used as the initial value for the strength prediction of clinker at a specified time (such as 28 days) after leaving the kiln, providing a basic reference for subsequent accurate prediction.

[0030] Step S140: Based on the initial benchmark value, historical clinker strength data and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data, a calibrated prediction model for the strength of kiln clinker over a specified time period is constructed.

[0031] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, based on the initial value of the clinker strength prediction at a specified time (e.g., 28 days) after exiting the kiln, historical clinker performance data, and clinker diffraction data, a prediction model for the 28-day strength of clinker after exiting the kiln is established, namely, the calibrated prediction model for the 28-day strength of clinker after exiting the kiln.

[0032] As an example, a calibrated prediction model for the intensity of kiln clinker over a specified time can be constructed based on an initial baseline value, historical clinker strength data, and X-ray diffraction data of the corresponding batches of clinker. This can specifically include the following steps: Acquire historical clinker intensity measured data for a specified duration and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data; perform data association and feature matching between the historical clinker intensity measured data for a specified duration and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data and the initial benchmark value to obtain feature matching results; based on the feature matching results, construct a calibrated prediction model of the kiln clinker intensity for a specified duration using deep learning to complete model calibration.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, by combining historical clinker strength measured data for a specified period (e.g., 28 days) and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data, data association and feature matching are performed with the above initial prediction values. A 28-day clinker strength prediction model is constructed using deep learning technology, and model calibration is completed to improve the model prediction accuracy.

[0034] Step S150: Based on the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material proportion and the corresponding chemical analysis data of the raw materials, the predicted data of the final clinker strength at a specified time after exiting the kiln is obtained by using a calibrated prediction model.

[0035] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, based on the raw material proportioning data, chemical analysis data of raw materials, clinker diffraction data, and process parameters of the cement kiln as feedback values, the predicted data of the clinker strength at a specified time (e.g., 28 days) is output in real time.

[0036] For example, the clinker X-ray diffraction data is the measured X-ray diffraction data of the clinker exiting the kiln; the above-mentioned prediction data of the intensity of the clinker at a specified time after exiting the kiln is obtained by using a calibrated prediction model based on the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw materials, which may specifically include the following steps: The measured X-ray diffraction data of the clinker exiting the kiln, the current process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw materials are used as dynamic feedback features and continuously input into the calibrated prediction model for prediction. This allows the calibrated prediction model to adapt to the fluctuations in the operating conditions during the production process. Through real-time feedback iteration, the predicted data of the intensity of the clinker exiting the kiln for a specified time period are obtained as the output results.

[0037] By establishing a real-time feedback and iteration mechanism, such as Figure 2 As shown, raw material proportioning data, raw material chemical analysis results, measured X-ray diffraction data of clinker leaving the kiln, and current process parameters of the cement kiln are used as dynamic feedback features and continuously input into the calibrated prediction model to ensure that the model can adapt to the fluctuations in operating conditions during the production process, and finally output a highly accurate intensity prediction output of clinker leaving the kiln for a specified time (such as 28 days).

[0038] Step S160: Based on the predicted data of the intensity of the final clinker at a specified time after discharge, the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the raw meal proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw meal, process adjustment parameters for the cement kiln are generated.

[0039] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, based on the predicted data of clinker intensity at a specified time (e.g., 28 days), clinker diffraction data, raw meal ratio and test data, the process adjustment parameters of the cement kiln are output.

[0040] For example, generating process adjustment parameters for a cement kiln based on predicted data of the final clinker intensity at a specified time, clinker X-ray diffraction data, raw meal proportions, and chemical analysis data of raw meal can specifically include the following steps: Based on the predicted intensity of the final clinker at a specified time, clinker X-ray diffraction data, raw meal proportions, and chemical analysis data of raw meal, the optimal adjustment range of process parameters for the cement kiln is obtained through calculation using the process parameter optimization model within the algorithm.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the optimal adjustment range of cement kiln process parameters is calculated through the process parameter optimization model within the algorithm, so as to achieve the goal of improving production efficiency and reducing production costs while ensuring clinker performance.

[0042] In this embodiment, the strength of clinker exiting the cement kiln is predicted using X-ray diffraction data of cement clinker. This method utilizes the diffraction data of cement clinker and deep learning technology to enhance the accuracy of clinker strength prediction, reduce prediction errors, and achieve rapid and accurate prediction of the strength of clinker exiting the kiln at a specified time. Based on this, the process parameters of the cement kiln are adjusted and optimized in real time. This enables timely adjustment of the kiln calcination process parameters by utilizing the logical relationship between the diffraction data of cement clinker, the predicted clinker strength data, and the kiln process parameters. This achieves continuous improvement in the strength performance of cement clinker, thereby increasing production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and reducing production costs.

[0043] In some embodiments, before the optimal adjustment range of the process parameters for the cement kiln is obtained by calculating using the process parameter optimization model within the algorithm based on the predicted data of the final clinker intensity at a specified time after discharge, clinker X-ray diffraction data, raw meal proportions, and chemical analysis data of the raw meal, the method may further include the following steps: Construct a function set M to represent the process parameter optimization model through functions. The function set M contains sub-functions [M1, M2, M3...Mn] covering the entire process. M1 is the index function, which is an implicit function containing all control variables and external variables, used to calculate the output optimization function through machine learning algorithms.

[0044] For example, clinker strength prediction and process parameter optimization models can both be represented by functions. Assume that the constructed model is a set of functions M, which contains sub-functions [M1, M2, M3...Mn] covering the entire process. The index function M1 is an implicit function containing all control variables and external variables, and the output optimization function can be calculated by machine learning algorithms.

[0045] In some embodiments, the optimization function calculated by the machine learning algorithm may specifically include the following steps: advancing the optimization function according to different granularities using a progressive optimization algorithm to complete global optimization, and / or calculating the optimization function using an approximation algorithm; completing the prediction of the clinker strength at the cement kiln outlet through iterative self-learning and continuously outputting the cement kiln process parameter adjustment data.

[0046] By comprehensively optimizing algorithms such as progressive optimization, advancing according to different granularities, and performing global optimization, or by using approximate algorithms, including binary methods, the output of the optimization function can be completed. Through iterative self-learning, the strength of the clinker exiting the cement kiln can be predicted and the continuous output guiding the adjustment of cement kiln process parameters can be completed.

The determination module 303 is used to determine the initial clinker strength prediction value over a specified time as the initial reference value for the strength prediction of the clinker after a specified time. The construction module 304 is used to construct a calibrated prediction model of the intensity of kiln clinker for a specified time based on the initial benchmark value, historical clinker strength data and corresponding batches of clinker X-ray diffraction data; The second prediction module 305 is used to make predictions based on the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the process parameters of the cement kiln, the raw material batching ratio and the corresponding chemical analysis data of the raw material, through the calibrated prediction model, to obtain the predicted data of the intensity of the final clinker at a specified time after exiting the kiln. The generation module 306 is used to generate process adjustment parameters for the cement kiln based on the predicted data of the intensity of the final clinker at a specified time, the clinker X-ray diffraction data, the raw material proportion, and the chemical analysis data of the raw material.
