Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance technology for metallurgical electrolysis equipment, specifically to an adaptive intelligent lubrication method for electrolysis overhead cranes adapted to high-temperature and heavy-load operating conditions. Background Technology
[0002] The electrolytic multi-functional overhead crane is a core heavy-duty operating equipment in the electrolytic aluminum production workshop. It is in a harsh working environment with high temperature, high vibration and high dust for a long time. The core moving parts such as bearings and pins of the equipment need to be continuously lubricated to ensure operational stability.
[0003] Currently, the industry generally adopts a manual, periodic, and fixed-point lubrication mode for electrolytic overhead crane lubrication operations. This mode has many technical drawbacks: First, lubrication points are mostly located at high or suspended positions, posing a high safety risk to manual operations. Second, lubrication operations are highly dependent on manual operating experience and are greatly affected by human factors, easily leading to problems such as lubrication leakage, insufficient lubrication, and over-lubrication. Third, the frequency and amount of manual lubrication cannot be adapted to the dynamic load and temperature changes of the overhead crane. Under high-temperature conditions, the lubricating medium is prone to rapid oxidation and failure, and accelerated wear, which can easily cause equipment wear, jamming, and downtime, significantly increasing equipment maintenance costs and production downtime losses. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide an adaptive intelligent lubrication method for electrolytic cranes that is suitable for high-temperature and heavy-load working conditions. Through multi-dimensional working condition survey, precise hardware calibration, quantitative model adaptive control, graded fault early warning and batch stability verification, the method realizes unmanned operation, precise parameters and dynamic adaptation to working conditions of electrolytic cranes, thereby improving the lubrication accuracy and operational stability of the equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adaptive intelligent lubrication method for electrolytic overhead cranes adapted to high-temperature and heavy-load operating conditions, comprising the following steps:

The system operated stably, meeting the long-term lubrication requirements under high temperature and medium load conditions, and completing the adaptation and implementation of operating conditions.
[0074] Example 3: Adaptive Intelligent Lubrication Method for Complete Electrolytic Crane under High Temperature and Heavy Load Conditions
[0075] This embodiment is adapted to the high-intensity, extreme production conditions in an electrolysis workshop. Specific operating conditions are: ambient temperature 100–120℃, temperature difference ΔT between lubrication points and ambient temperature reference > 60℃, and real-time equipment load as a percentage of rated load K. F ≥80%, the overall condition is a high temperature and heavy load extreme condition. The complete lubrication method and steps are as follows:
[0076] S1: Working condition location survey and customized lubrication system solution design: Separate zones for core high-temperature and heavy-load locations, further optimize the 316L pipeline layout path to minimize heat source radiation and heavy-load compression losses.
[0077] Use the same high-temperature resistant synthetic grease; keep the baseline parameters Q0=1mL / use and t0=2h unchanged;
[0078] With extreme working condition correction coefficients set at α=0.25 and β=0.25, and substituted into the coupled model for calculation, the extreme working condition adaptation parameters are obtained: single grease supply Q=1.8~2.0mL / time, lubrication interval t=1.5h.
[0079] S2: Multi-parameter sensing hardware selection and working condition adaptation reliability verification: The main hardware selection remains unchanged, and data calibration is enhanced for extreme high temperature of 120℃ and high frequency vibration working conditions.
[0080] The coefficients γ=0.04 and δ=0.05 of the temperature-vibration coupling calibration model were adjusted to minimize the acquisition errors caused by high-temperature drift and mechanical vibration.
[0081] After high and low temperature steady-state and vibration fatigue tests, the hardware response speed is stable at ≤0.5s, and the data acquisition accuracy meets the requirements for use under extreme working conditions.
[0082] S3: PLC intelligent adaptive linkage control and abnormal warning: Activate the time-load dual redundancy highest priority control strategy, and strictly perform automated lubrication according to the 1.5h lubrication interval and 1.8~2.0mL / time grease supply.
[0083] The fault determination model and the hierarchical alarm logic parameters are kept consistent, and temperature and pressure fluctuations under extreme operating conditions are monitored in real time.
[0084] The lubrication replenishment amount is dynamically matched to address the rapid wear characteristics of heavy-duty grease, ensuring that instantaneous operating condition fluctuations will not trigger the fault threshold and that the system operates safely and stably.
[0085] S4: System integration, debugging, and batch deployment verification: Simulating extreme high-temperature and full-load conditions to complete full-dimensional software and hardware debugging and parameter optimization;
[0086] During the one-month on-site trial operation, the same stability evaluation model was used. The acceptance criteria for this operating condition were system stability η≥0.95 and grease supply deviation≤±5%.
[0087] The trial run was completed without any lubrication failures or system errors, demonstrating its stable compatibility with the extreme and harsh production conditions of the electrolysis crane. Ultimately, the system adaptation, debugging, and acceptance of all eight electrolysis cranes were successfully completed.
[0088] The above three sets of embodiments correspond to three typical operating conditions of electrolytic cranes: ambient temperature light load, high temperature medium load, and high temperature heavy load. The whole adopts a unified technical implementation process, hardware selection system, calculation model architecture, and fault judgment logic. Only based on the difference in operating temperature gradient and load ratio, the model correction coefficient, lubrication operation parameters, and acceptance threshold are set differently to form a gradient and full-coverage technical implementation system.
[0089] The hardware calibration coefficients in the three sets of embodiments show an increasing trend with the increase of operating temperature and vibration intensity. The temperature correction coefficient α increases from 0.15 to 0.25, the load correction coefficient β increases from 0.15 to 0.25, the temperature drift coefficient γ increases from 0.02 to 0.04, and the vibration compensation coefficient δ increases from 0.03 to 0.05. The corresponding single lubrication amount increases from 1 mL / time to 1.8-2.0 mL / time, and the lubrication interval decreases from 2 hours to 1.5 hours, realizing adaptive dynamic matching of lubrication parameters according to the severity of operating conditions.
[0090] Meanwhile, the system acceptance stability threshold of the three sets of embodiments is appropriately reduced as the complexity of the working conditions increases, the grease supply deviation control range is adapted to the loss characteristics of each working condition, and the trial operation data of all embodiments meet the preset technical indicators, with no faults and no parameter abnormalities. This verifies the adaptability, stability and repeatability of the technical solution of the present invention in the full range of working conditions, and can cover the intelligent lubrication implementation needs of all operation scenarios of electrolytic cranes.

Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
