Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical industrial automation technology, specifically involving an automated method for laying and arranging refractory bricks inside furnace equipment such as steel ladles, rotary kilns, and flue gas furnaces. It is particularly suitable for the precise laying of refractory bricks on the inner wall of furnaces that undergo thermal deformation under high-temperature conditions. Background Technology

[0002] The steel ladle is a core piece of equipment for transferring molten metal in metallurgical production, and the quality of its refractory lining directly determines the ladle's service life and production safety. Currently, the refractory bricklaying of steel ladles mainly relies on manual operation, which has the following technical drawbacks:

[0003] Low precision of manual operation: Traditional processes rely on manual layout to calibrate the position of bricks, and use rubber mallets to tap and adjust the gaps between bricks. The alignment of refractory bricks depends entirely on the worker's visual judgment, resulting in poor stability of masonry quality and the inability to form a standardized operation process.

[0004] Poor adaptability to deformable furnace bodies: During repeated use at high temperatures, steel ladles undergo thermal deformation, transforming their inner walls from an ideal circular shape into an irregular shape with random protrusions and depressions. Existing automatic bricklaying algorithms are all based on the assumption of an "ideal circular inner wall." When dealing with deformable furnace bodies, problems such as excessively large or small gaps easily occur in the later stages of bricklaying, making it impossible to achieve precise finishing.

[0005] The finishing stage relies on experience: matching and inserting the last few locking bricks is a critical step in the masonry process. Current technology requires workers to rely on their experience to adjust the brick combination and fill gaps, which not only prolongs the construction period but also causes uneven stress on the bricks due to improper adjustment, making them prone to falling off during use and causing safety hazards.

[0006] Existing automated bricklaying technologies have significant limitations. They lack dynamic fitting algorithms specifically designed for deformable furnace bodies, making it impossible to adaptively lay bricks based on actual inner wall dimensions. Furthermore, the finishing stage lacks standardized calculation and verification mechanisms, relying excessively on manual experience, which hinders improvements in both efficiency and quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a refractory brick layout method that can automatically complete the main ring laying and precise finishing based on actual scanned inner wall data. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the technical problems of existing technologies, such as incompatibility with deformable furnace bodies, high reliance on manual labor, and low finishing accuracy, this invention provides an automatic refractory brick arrangement and intelligent finishing method and system adapted to the inner lining of deformable steel ladles. Through four core stages—preparation and initialization, intelligent main ring laying cycle, finishing solution cycle, and brick matching—and combining a greedy optimization algorithm, a physical fit model, a V-shaped verification mechanism, and a backtracking solution strategy, it achieves automatic layering and adaptive brick laying based on the actual dimensions of the scanned inner wall of the steel ladle. It supports user-defined brick type parameters and relies on the V-shaped verification and backtracking mechanism to complete precise finishing and filling, eliminating the need for repeated manual trial and error adjustments, thus improving masonry efficiency and quality.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: an adaptive method for automatic arrangement and closing of refractory brick linings, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1, Preparation and Initialization Phase: Based on the actual scan data input, generate the inner wall contour model corresponding to each layer and build a custom brick type database;

[0010] The specific steps of step one are as follows:

[0011] Step S11, Input of actual inner wall dimensions and automatic layering: Input the three-dimensional dimension data of the inner wall of the steel ladle obtained by scanning. The system automatically divides the number of brick layers N according to the dimension change in the height direction of the inner wall. The diameter of the brick laying circle of each layer is taken as the actual measured diameter D of the bottom of the inner wall of the corresponding layer. At the same time, the refractory brick material type M set by the user is read.

[0012] Step S12: Custom Brick Type Database Construction: This step allows users to actively input brick type parameters to create a refractory brick parameter database. Brick types are categorized by wedge angle, rather than by quantity laid. The system includes built-in templates for typical brick type parameters, covering different layers of magnesia bricks and alkaline synthetic bricks, both bottom and top. Users can add or modify brick type parameters according to their actual needs.

[0013] Step 2, Intelligent Main Ring Laying Stage: Set the stopping conditions, use the greedy optimization algorithm to select brick types, calculate the centripetal degree for different brick types, select the brick type with the smallest centripetal degree, determine the brick type and placement method corresponding to the brick type, and achieve the fit between the brick and the laid bricks and the inner wall by calculating the brick sliding distance.

[0014] The specific steps of step two are as follows:

[0015] Step S21, Stop Condition Setting: User-defined threshold for the number of main bricks corresponding to the closing edge. The system is based on the diameter of the current layer of bricks. With the length of the main brick and the length of the base Calculate the central angle corresponding to a single main brick. It satisfies the formula:

[0016]

[0017] In the formula, , is the radius of the paving circle for the current layer, in mm;

[0018] Then calculate the stop threshold angle. It satisfies the formula:

[0019]

[0020] Real-time calculation of the included angle of the remaining gap after tiling ,when When the main loop laying cycle stops, the loop for solving the closing loop begins.

[0021] Step S22, Greedy Optimization Algorithm Selection: During each brick-laying step, enumerate the main brick, adjust the brick's orientation (upright / inverted), and select the appropriate orientation based on centripetal force. To select the optimal brick type for the evaluation criteria, the centripetal force calculation formula is as follows:

[0022]

[0023] in, The vector of the central axis of the brick body points from the center of the top of the brick body to the center of the bottom of the brick body; Let be the radial vector pointing from the bottom center of the brick to the center of the steel ladle. Centripetal force, measured in rad; the smaller the value, the higher the bonding precision of the bricks.

[0024] Algorithm execution steps: Calculate the centripetal degree for each of the four brick-shaped states. Select the brick type with the lowest centripetal force, i.e. Determine the brick type and placement method (upright / inverted) corresponding to this state;

[0025] Step S23, Physical Adhesion Calculation: Ensure that the currently laid bricks are tightly adhered to the existing brickwork and the inner wall. Specific rules:

[0026] The side of the current brick is tightly fitted to the side of the previous brick, with a gap between the two bricks. mm; the current brick sliding distance is calculated using an algorithm. The sliding distance satisfies the formula:

[0027]

[0028] in, For the inner wall model at the polar angle The actual radius at that location. The initial radial distance from the midpoint of the bottom edge of the brick closest to the inner wall, in mm;

[0029] Controlling the sliding distance of the brick along the contact surface Continue until the bricks come into contact with the inner wall.

[0030] Step 3, Closing Solution Stage: Adaptive matching adjusts the combination scheme of bricks and patch bricks, performs virtual brick laying and collision detection, and performs V-shaped verification on the scheme that passes the detection. The V-shaped verification must simultaneously meet the conditions that the gap is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, the difference between the upper and lower widths of the gap is within the preset range, and the bottom width of the gap matches the width of the small end of the locking brick. If no scheme meets the conditions, the backtracking mechanism is triggered, and the bricks at the end of the main ring are adjusted and the solution is re-solved.

[0031] The specific steps of step three are as follows:

[0032] Step S31, Brick Combination Search: Unrestricted enumeration of the number of bricks used, n (n≥1), and the number of patch bricks inserted, k (k≥0), generates different brick combination schemes. Each scheme corresponds to a sequence of bricks for filling the gap. ;

[0033] Step S32, Virtual Laying and Collision Detection: Perform virtual laying for each combination scheme and detect whether it overlaps with the first tile. The overlap determination condition is the formula:

[0034]

[0035] in, The area of ​​the current composite brickwork, in units. ; The area of ​​the first paved tile, in units ;like If the combination is deemed to be overlapping, it will be eliminated.

[0036] Step S33, V-shaped gap verification: For the combined scheme that passed the collision detection, measure the top width of the remaining gap. With bottom width Three conditions must be met simultaneously:

[0037] V-shaped structure conditions: That is, the gap is V-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom;

[0038] Width difference condition: ;

[0039] Tile matching conditions: mm, where, To lock the width of the smaller end of the brick;

[0040] Step S34, Backtracking Solution Mechanism: If there is no combination solution that satisfies the V-shape condition for the current gap, the backtracking mechanism is triggered, and the following steps are executed: Cancel the last brick laid in the main loop laying cycle, and update the remaining gap angle. Add an adjustment brick to the left of the first brick and recalculate the gap size; return to step S31 to perform exhaustive combination and verification again until a solution that meets the conditions is found.

[0041] Step 4, Tile Matching Stage: Match the tile model, calculate the tile insertion trajectory, verify the completed tiling, and check the fit gap between the tile and the surrounding tiles. If all fit gaps meet the requirements, the single-ring tiling is considered complete; otherwise, return to Step 3 to adjust the finishing combination scheme.

[0042] The specific steps of step four are as follows:

[0043] Step S41, Tile Model Matching: Bottom width determined by V-shaped verification The system matches the optimal lock tile model from the custom tile type database, with the matching priority being: main tile > adjustment tile.

[0044] Step S42, Calculation of the brick insertion trajectory: Calculate the sliding insertion trajectory of the brick, and control the brick along the sliding direction vector. Slide, slide direction vector Satisfying the formula:

[0045]

[0046] in, The coordinates of the top right corner of the first brick. The coordinates are the bottom right corner of the first brick.

[0047] Real-time calculation of sliding distance Continue until the right side of the locking brick and the left side of the filling brick are in close contact;

[0048] Step S43, Tile Laying Completion Verification: Check the fit gap between the locking tile and the surrounding tiles. If all gaps are clear... If the diameter is mm, then the single-ring paving is considered complete; otherwise, return to step S3 to adjust the finishing combination scheme.

[0049] An adaptive refractory brick automatic layout and finishing system includes a data input module, an algorithm calculation module, and a visualization interaction module. The data input module is used to receive scanning data of the inner wall of the ladle and custom brick type parameters. The algorithm calculation module is used to execute automatic layering, main ring laying, finishing solution, and brick locking matching algorithms. The visualization interaction module is used to display the laying effect of different layers of refractory bricks.

After the bricks are laid, the gap between all bricks and the inner wall is controlled within 0.8mm. The bricks are neatly arranged, uniformly stressed, and without any offset or overlap.

The method for automatic arrangement and closing of adaptive refractory brick lining according to claim 4, characterized in that, The specific steps for step four are as follows: Step S41: Based on the bottom width determined by the V-shaped verification, match the optimal locking tile model from the custom tile database. The matching priority is: main tile > adjustment tile. Step S42: Calculate the sliding insertion trajectory of the locking brick and control the locking brick along the sliding direction vector. Slide, calculate the sliding distance in real time, until the right side of the locking brick contacts the left side of the filling brick; Step S43, Tile Laying Completion Verification: Check the fit gap between the locking tile and the surrounding tiles. If all gaps are clear... If the diameter is mm, then the single-ring paving is considered complete; otherwise, return to step S3 to adjust the finishing combination scheme.

6. An adaptive refractory brick lining automatic arrangement and sealing system for implementing the method of any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, It includes a data input module, an algorithm calculation module, and a visualization interaction module. The data input module is used to receive scanning data of the inner wall of the ladle and custom brick type parameters. The algorithm calculation module is used to execute automatic layering, main ring laying, end-closing solution, and brick locking matching algorithms. The visualization interaction module is used to display the paving effect of different layers of refractory bricks.
