In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Various other advantages and benefits will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same parts throughout the drawings. In the drawings: Figure 1 A flowchart of a weighing and metering method for a coal feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0018] Figure 2 A block diagram of a weighing and metering device for a coal feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0021] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0022] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] In the existing technology, the coal feeder works by setting the feeding amount using a host computer, and two weighing sensors installed under the coal feeder belt transmit the weighing signal to the PLC. The PLC makes feedback adjustments based on the set feeding amount and the returned weighing value. The PLC outputs instructions to the coal feeder belt frequency converter to control the belt speed, thereby realizing the quantitative feeding of the coal feeder.

[0024] Specifically, the weighing signals collected by two load cells installed below the coal feeder belt are input into the PLC for processing. The resulting data is the real-time value of the coal feeder's feed rate. The deviation between this value and the setpoint value is logically calculated within the PLC and then used as a control value input to the frequency converter to control the feeder belt speed. If a load cell fails, or if material jams between the belt and the load cell, the weighing signal will be distorted, affecting the frequency converter's control of the belt speed. This will result in a significant difference between the actual coal feed rate and the set feed rate, necessitating a shutdown and immediate troubleshooting, disrupting normal production.

[0025] Because the high-intensity, high-volume blast furnace smelting process places high demands on the stable and continuous operation of the coal feeder, and the aforementioned weighing methods require high performance and operating environment of the weighing sensor itself, it is necessary to frequently check the operating status of the weighing sensor and clean its operating environment.

[0026] Based on the above situation, combined with Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a weighing and metering method for a coal feeder, which is applied to a weighing and metering system for a coal feeder. The system includes a coal feeder, a first weighing device and a second weighing device installed on the coal feeder.

[0027] The weighing and metering method of the coal feeder includes steps 101 to 104: Step 101: Obtain the first weighing signal sent by the first weighing device, the second weighing signal sent by the second weighing device, and set the coal feed rate, conveyor belt speed, and frequency converter frequency. The coal feeder, used for conveying coal, typically consists of a motor, conveyor belt, inlet, and outlet. A first and second weighing device are installed on the coal feeder to measure the weight of the loose coal powder on the conveyor belt. These weighing devices can use electronic load cells, which are characterized by high precision and fast response. A frequency converter controls the operating frequency of the conveyor belt motor, thereby adjusting the conveyor belt speed. Frequency converters typically have high-precision frequency control capabilities. A conveyor belt speed sensor is also added to the coal feeder to measure the speed of the conveyor belt.

[0028] In actual production, the set coal feed rate of the coal feeder is determined by statistical data. If the first and second weighing devices are operating normally, the sum of the first and second weighing signals will be approximately the same as the set coal feed rate.

[0029] If the first or second weighing device malfunctions, or if the weighing signal is unstable due to external force, the comparison logic set inside the program is needed to identify the malfunctioning weighing device, and then the weighing signal sent by that weighing device will be blocked during weighing.

[0030] Step 102: Calculate the compensation weighing signal based on the compensation coefficient, the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, the set coal feed rate, the conveyor belt speed, and the frequency converter frequency; wherein, the compensation weighing signal is used to replace the signal when the first weighing device or the second weighing device fails. In this embodiment, a compensated weighing signal can be calculated based on the compensation coefficient, the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, the set coal feed rate, the conveyor belt speed, and the inverter frequency. By combining the calculated compensated weighing signal with the first and second weighing signals, fault diagnosis can be performed on the first and second weighing devices. If any weighing device malfunctions, the compensated weighing signal replaces the weighing signal of that device.

[0031] In one embodiment, the step of calculating the compensated weighing signal may include: W 总 =W1+W2 Among them, W 总W1 represents the actual coal feed rate of the coal feeder; W2 represents the first weighing signal sent by the first weighing sensor; W3 represents the second weighing signal sent by the second weighing sensor.

[0032] In actual production, the material bulk density of the coal feeder is approximately 0.85 t / m³. 3 The feeder belt width is 1.0m, the material layer thickness is 0.21m, and the actual weight of the feeder can be calculated using the following formula: W 速度 =3600ρwhv Where ρ is the bulk density ratio of the coal feeder; W 速度 To calculate the actual hourly feed weight of the coal feeder based on the belt speed; w is the width of the coal feeder belt; h is the material layer thickness; v is the conveyor belt speed; The data in Table 1, obtained from the above formulas and actual production measurements, is as follows:

[0033] Table 1 The data above shows that the ratio of inverter frequency to conveyor belt speed remains between 171 and 174, and the ratio of actual weight to set coal feed rate is between 0.98 and 1.06. Therefore, the relationship between these four factors is as follows: K=(W 速度 / W 设 ) / (f / v) Where K is the compensation coefficient; W 速度 To calculate the actual hourly feed weight of the coal feeder based on the belt speed; W 设 f is the set coal feed rate; f is the inverter frequency; v is the conveyor belt speed.

[0034] The calculated K value ranges from 0.0056 to 0.00617, and after optimization based on process parameters, the preferred K value is 0.0058.

[0035] Based on the above, the formula for belt speed compensation weighing signal can be obtained: W s =0.5KW 设 (f / V) Among them, W s For the optimized compensated weighing signal, W 设 V is the set coal feed rate; V is the conveyor belt speed; f is the frequency of the frequency converter.

[0036] Step 103: Determine whether the first weighing signal and the second weighing signal meet the target conditions respectively, and obtain the determination results; wherein, the target conditions are constructed by the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal and the compensated weighing signal; In this embodiment, the step of constructing the target condition includes: Calculate the average of the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, and the compensated weighing signal; Calculate the first average difference between the first weighing signal and the mean, calculate the second average difference between the second weighing signal and the mean, and calculate the third average difference between the compensated weighing signal and the mean; Calculate the first difference between the first weighing signal and the second weighing signal, calculate the second difference between the second weighing signal and the compensated weighing signal, and calculate the third difference between the compensated weighing signal and the first weighing signal; The target conditions are constructed based on the first average difference value, the second average difference value, the third average difference value, the first difference value, the second difference value, and the third difference value.

[0037] For example: Compare the first weighing signal W1, the second weighing signal W2, and the compensated weighing signal W s The deviation relationship among the three is such that if the first weighing signal or the first weighing signal is abnormal, the corresponding weighing instrument is considered faulty. The formula is as follows: W A =(W1+W2+W S ) / 3 W XA =|W X -W A | Among them, W A W represents the average value of all weighing sensors. XA W represents the difference between the weighing value and the average value of any weighing sensor, i.e., the average difference (which is the first average difference between the first weighing signal and the average value, the second average difference between the second weighing signal and the average value, and the third average difference between the compensated weighing signal and the average value). X For any weighing sensor signal (first weighing device, second weighing signal, compensated weighing signal); In this embodiment, a corresponding deviation range is preset for each weighing sensor. This deviation range refers to the allowable deviation range between the weighing signal corresponding to that weighing sensor and the mean value (this range can be set by a technician). In addition, a corresponding tolerance range is preset for any two weighing sensors.

[0038] By defining the corresponding deviation range and tolerance range, the target conditions for the first and second weighing instruments can be determined.

[0039] It should be noted that the first weighing device is considered faulty only if it fails to meet both the corresponding deviation range and tolerance range simultaneously; or the second weighing device is considered faulty only if it fails to meet both the corresponding deviation range and tolerance range simultaneously.

[0040] For example, when determining whether the first weighing device is faulty, it is necessary to compare the absolute value of the first average difference with the corresponding deviation range, the absolute value of the first difference with the corresponding tolerance range, and the absolute value of the third difference with the corresponding tolerance range. Only when the absolute value of the first average difference is less than or equal to the corresponding deviation range, the absolute value of the first difference is less than or equal to the corresponding tolerance range, and the absolute value of the third difference is less than or equal to the corresponding tolerance range, is the first weighing device considered faulty.

[0041] When determining whether the second weighing device is faulty, the absolute value of the second average difference needs to be compared with the corresponding deviation range, the absolute value of the first difference needs to be compared with the corresponding tolerance range, and the absolute value of the second difference needs to be compared with the corresponding tolerance range. Only when the absolute value of the second average difference is less than or equal to the corresponding deviation range, the absolute value of the first difference is less than or equal to the corresponding tolerance range, and the absolute value of the second difference is less than or equal to the corresponding tolerance range, is the second weighing device considered faulty.

[0042] Step 104: Based on the judgment result, determine the first target signal and the second target signal from the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, and the compensated weighing signal, and determine the actual coal feed rate of the coal feeder from the first target signal and the second target signal.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are three possible judgment results: the first weighing device is faulty, the second weighing device is faulty, and both the first and second weighing devices are normal.

[0044] If the first weighing signal and the second weighing signal respectively meet the target conditions, it indicates that the first weighing device and the second weighing device are normal. In this case, the first weighing signal can be used as the first target signal and the second weighing signal can be used as the first target signal. If the first weighing signal does not meet the target condition, but the second weighing signal meets the target condition, it indicates that the first weighing device is faulty. In this case, the compensation weighing signal can be used as the first target signal and the second weighing signal can be used as the second target signal. If the first weighing signal meets the target condition, but the second weighing signal does not meet the target condition, it indicates that the second weighing device is faulty. In this case, the first weighing signal can be used as the first target signal, and the compensation weighing signal can be used as the second target signal.

[0045] In one embodiment, if the first weighing signal does not meet the target condition or the second weighing signal does not meet the target condition, an alarm signal is issued, and the fault is investigated and handled during production stoppage.

[0046] In summary, the embodiments of this specification provide a weighing and metering method for a coal feeder. The method includes: acquiring a first weighing signal sent by a first weighing device, a second weighing signal sent by a second weighing device, setting a coal feed rate, a conveyor belt speed, and a frequency converter frequency; calculating a compensated weighing signal based on a compensation coefficient, the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, the set coal feed rate, the conveyor belt speed, and the frequency converter frequency; wherein the compensated weighing signal is used for signal replacement when either the first or second weighing device malfunctions; determining whether the first weighing signal and the second weighing signal meet target conditions, and obtaining a determination result; wherein the target conditions are constructed from the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, and the compensated weighing signal; and determining a first target signal and a second target signal from the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, and the compensated weighing signal based on the determination result, and determining the actual coal feed rate of the coal feeder based on the first target signal and the second target signal. This enables the coal feeder to accurately weigh and measure the amount of coal fed, minimizing the impact of weighing sensor malfunctions on the production rhythm, achieving continuous and efficient operation of the coal feeder, and meeting the needs of modern smelting.

Based on the third difference between the first weighing signals; The target conditions are constructed based on the first average difference value, the second average difference value, the third average difference value, the first difference value, the second difference value, and the third difference value.

[0049] Optionally, the determination module is also used for: If the first weighing signal and the second weighing signal respectively satisfy the target conditions, then the first weighing signal is taken as the first target signal and the second weighing signal is taken as the first target signal. If the first weighing signal does not meet the target condition, but the second weighing signal meets the target condition, then the compensated weighing signal is taken as the first target signal, and the second weighing signal is taken as the second target signal. If the first weighing signal meets the target condition and the second weighing signal does not meet the target condition, then the first weighing signal is used as the first target signal, and the compensated weighing signal is used as the second target signal.

[0050] Optionally, the determination module is also used for: If the first weighing signal or the second weighing signal does not meet the target condition, an alarm signal is issued.

[0051] Optionally, the compensated weighing signal is calculated using the following formula: Ws=0.5KW 设 (f / V) Where K is the compensation coefficient, Ws is the compensation weighing signal, and W 设 To set the coal feed rate, V is the conveyor belt speed, and f is the frequency of the frequency converter.

[0052] Optionally, the compensation coefficient takes a value in the range of 0.0056-0.00617.

[0053] In summary, the weighing and metering device for a coal feeder provided in this specification acquires a first weighing signal sent by a first weighing device, a second weighing signal sent by a second weighing device, a set coal feed rate, a conveyor belt speed, and a frequency converter frequency; calculates a compensated weighing signal based on a compensation coefficient, the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, the set coal feed rate, the conveyor belt speed, and the frequency converter frequency; wherein the compensated weighing signal is used for signal replacement when either the first weighing device or the second weighing device malfunctions; determines whether the first weighing signal and the second weighing signal meet target conditions, and obtains a determination result; wherein the target conditions are constructed from the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, and the compensated weighing signal; and determines a first target signal and a second target signal from the first weighing signal, the second weighing signal, and the compensated weighing signal based on the determination result, and determines the actual coal feed rate of the coal feeder based on the first target signal and the second target signal.
