Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent control technology for high-temperature purification equipment, and in particular to a water-air dual-circulation cooling control system and method for a continuous graphitization furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Graphitization is a crucial step in the heat treatment of carbon materials, widely used in the production of graphite electrodes and lithium-ion battery anode materials. The push-boat continuous graphitization furnace has been widely applied in this process. In this process, the boat containing the carbon raw material is first heated and held at high temperatures, where the material undergoes a crystal structure transformation. Subsequently, the boat (containing the internal graphite material) needs to be controlled to ensure the stability and consistency of the graphite's properties. Improper control of the cooling process can lead to thermal stress cracks, structural damage, or performance fluctuations within the material, affecting the quality of the final product.

[0003] In existing graphitization furnaces, the cooling methods for the material carrier boats are mostly natural cooling or fixed water cooling devices. For example, Chinese invention patent with publication number CN101788227A discloses an induction heating ultra-high temperature continuous carbonization furnace. In this carbonization furnace, the water cooling tunnel in the lower furnace body is the main cooling channel for the material carrier boat. It is a square cylinder with a jacket and water flow, which is the solid part of the horizontal channel.

[0004] Furthermore, the system only uses a water-cooled jacket structure to indirectly cool the material carrier boat. The cooling rate is difficult to dynamically adjust according to the actual temperature of the material. Especially in continuous production, due to the fluctuation of the output temperature of the material carrier boat and the uneven temperature distribution at different locations in the cooling channel, the use of fixed water cooling devices and a single cooling strategy often cannot meet the process requirements, which can easily lead to problems such as low cooling efficiency and poor product consistency.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent cooling control scheme that integrates multi-point data acquisition, water-air dual-medium coordination, and multi-input coupled PID unified regulation to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
