Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial reagent dosing technology, and particularly relates to a precise lime dosing ratio and closed-loop control system. Background Technology
[0002] Lime, as a commonly used regulator and neutralizer in industrial production, has its dosage and proportion accuracy directly determining the process effect: In mineral processing flotation, deviations in lime slurry concentration can cause fluctuations in the pH value of the slurry, reducing mineral separation efficiency; in water treatment, excessive lime addition can cause a surge in sludge, while insufficient addition can fail to meet discharge standards; in the building materials industry, deviations in lime dosage can directly affect the strength and durability of the mixture.
[0003] Existing lime dosing systems rely on real-time feedback from sensors such as online densitometers and pH meters. However, the lime hydration reaction has a delay of 3-8 minutes, meaning the sensor readings cannot reflect the true state of the reaction system in real time. This leads to an "overshoot-reverse" cycle in PID control, with concentration fluctuation errors typically ranging from ±0.004 g / cm³. 3 above; Moreover, the purity (Ca(OH)2 content), fineness, and moisture content of lime powder vary from batch to batch. Traditional systems only calculate the dosage according to a fixed ratio formula, without considering the fluctuation of effective components caused by differences in material activity. The actual effective concentration deviation can be more than ±1.0%. Furthermore, factors such as electromagnetic interference, pipeline vibration, and uneven mixing in industrial settings can lead to sensor signal distortion and unstable material delivery, further amplifying the mixing ratio error.
[0004] While existing technologies attempt to improve stability by optimizing sensor accuracy (such as using a radiometric densitometer) and improving the feeding mechanism (such as an arch-breaking scraper feeder), they have not fundamentally solved the systematic errors caused by "detection lag" and "characteristic drift," making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision processes. Summary of the Invention

It achieves precise control of lime addition ratio through a two-dimensional error compensation algorithm. The detection unit and the execution unit form an innovative insurance mechanism through hardware co-design to jointly solve the systematic errors caused by material characteristic drift and detection lag.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the material supply unit includes a lime silo, a variable frequency screw feeder, a high-precision weighing sensor, and an anti-caking vibrator; the weighing sensor collects lime addition data in real time to provide basic parameters for the feedforward prediction module, and the vibrator is linked with the feeder to ensure the continuity of material supply.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the detection unit includes a radiometric densitometer, a calcium ion selective electrode, and a temperature sensor, with signals from the three sensors being acquired synchronously. The detection unit is equipped with a backup detection channel, forming a hardware redundancy design, which automatically switches when the main sensor fails, ensuring the continuity of detection.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the core algorithm of the feedforward prediction module includes: Detection of free Ca in lime slurry using a calcium ion-selective electrode 2+ Concentration, combined with temperature sensor data, to calculate the current effective activity coefficient K of the lime in real time (K = measured Ca). 2+ Concentration / Theoretical Ca 2+ Concentration), dynamically correcting for differences in material purity; Establish a feedforward injection calculation model in: The required mass concentration of lime slurry according to the process specifications; The measured density of lime slurry; This refers to the effective volume of the mixing tank. This represents the real-time activity coefficient. This is a temperature correction function. =1+0.005×(25-T), which compensates for the effect of temperature on the hydration reaction rate.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the core algorithm of the feedback calibration module includes: The true concentration value is obtained by fusing the densitometer signal and the calcium ion electrode signal using the Kalman filter algorithm. in The weighting coefficient is (0.6-0.8). Based on concentration change rate Establish a hysteresis error prediction model: The hydration delay time is 3-8 minutes. This is the error correction term updated in real time by the BP neural network; according to With target concentration To compensate for the deviation, the proportional coefficient Kp, integral coefficient Ki, and derivative coefficient Kd of the PID controller are dynamically adjusted.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the execution unit includes a variable frequency speed controller, a pneumatic ceramic regulating valve, and an automatic cleaning device; the automatic cleaning device is activated every 1.5-2 hours to clean the sensor probe to avoid signal distortion; the variable frequency speed controller and the regulating valve synchronously adjust the lime dosage and the clean water flow rate according to the instructions of the control unit.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the control unit is also equipped with an algorithm fault tolerance mechanism: when the activity coefficient K exceeds the normal range of 0.8-1.2, the EDTA titration calibration program is automatically started, the feedforward formula parameters are corrected, and an audible and visual alarm is triggered.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the mixing unit includes a stirring tank, a high-precision water metering pump, and a static mixer; the stirring tank is equipped with a shock-absorbing base.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention fundamentally solves the systematic errors caused by material property drift and detection lag in existing technologies through the dual-dimensional error compensation algorithm of the feedforward prediction module and the feedback calibration module, combined with hardware. The feedforward prediction module captures free Ca in real time through a calcium ion selective electrode. 2+ The effective activity coefficient K is dynamically calculated based on the concentration and temperature data. A dosage model incorporating K and a temperature correction function f(T) is then used to pre-compensate for deviations in effective components caused by fluctuations in lime purity and fineness. The feedback calibration module uses a Kalman filter algorithm to fuse signals from both the density meter and calcium ion electrode to obtain the true concentration value. Simultaneously, a hysteresis error prediction model is established based on the concentration change rate and hydration delay time. A BP neural network is used to update the error correction term in real time and dynamically adjust PID parameters to avoid overshoot and integral saturation, achieving accurate calibration of the detection hysteresis. Combined with the hardware redundancy design of the detection unit, the automatic sensor cleaning device of the execution unit, the anti-interference structure of the mixing unit, and the algorithmic fault-tolerant mechanism of the control unit, a dual guarantee is formed, ultimately controlling the lime slurry concentration fluctuation error within ±0.002 g / cm³. 3 Within this range, the accuracy of lime addition ratio and the stability of process parameters have been significantly improved, while lime consumption per unit, equipment maintenance costs and the frequency of manual intervention have been reduced. Detailed Implementation
[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0015] The control system of this invention includes a material supply unit, a proportioning and mixing unit, a detection unit, a control unit, and an execution unit, wherein: Material supply unit: including lime silo, screw feeder, weighing sensor (accuracy ±0.1%), and vibrator (linked with feeder to prevent clumping); Mixing unit: includes a mixing tank (equipped with a slant paddle mixer, speed 30-60 rpm), a water metering pump, and a static mixer; Detection unit: includes a radiometric densitometer (detection accuracy ±0.001 g / cm³). 3 The system uses a calcium ion selective electrode and a temperature sensor, with signals from all three components acquired synchronously. Control unit: Based on PLC controller, a feedforward prediction module + feedback calibration module is built, with a built-in two-dimensional error compensation algorithm; The execution unit includes a frequency converter (to control the feeder speed), a pneumatic ceramic regulating valve (to control the clean water flow), and an automatic cleaning device (to periodically clean the sensor probe).
[0016] The core of this invention lies in the dual control of a feedforward prediction module and a feedback calibration module, which, together with hardware collaboration, forms a double insurance, thereby solving the systematic errors caused by "detection lag" and "characteristic drift"; the specific principle is as follows: 1. Feedforward prediction algorithm (to solve the problem of material property drift) Establish a feedforward prediction equation to compensate for errors caused by fluctuations in material properties in advance: Real-time identification of characteristic parameters: Detection of free Ca in lime slurry using a calcium ion selective electrode. 2+ Concentration, combined with temperature sensor data, to calculate the current effective activity coefficient K of the lime in real time (K = measured Ca). 2+ Concentration / Theoretical Ca 2+ Concentration), dynamically correcting for differences in material purity; Dosage prediction formula: The traditional proportioning formula is optimized by introducing the activity coefficient K, and a feedforward dosage calculation model is established: in: The required mass concentration of lime slurry (g / cm³) for the process. 3 ); The measured density of lime milk (g / cm³) 3 ); The effective volume of the mixing tank (cm²) 3 ); The real-time activity coefficient is (0.8-1.2). The temperature correction function (T is the temperature of the lime slurry, °C) is expressed as follows: =1+0.005×(25-T), which compensates for the effect of temperature on the hydration reaction rate.
[0017] 2. Feedback calibration mechanism module (to solve the problem of detection lag) A dual-sensor fusion algorithm combined with delay compensation is used to calibrate the feedforward injection rate in real time. Dual-sensor data fusion: The concentration signal from the radiometric densitometer (high-frequency but lagging) and the activity signal from the calcium ion electrode (real-time but susceptible to interference) are fused using a Kalman filter algorithm to obtain the true concentration value. : in The weighting coefficient (0.6-0.8) is dynamically adjusted based on the signal-to-noise ratio. Delay compensation algorithm: Based on closed-loop transfer function analysis, a hysteresis error prediction model is established. This is achieved by detecting the current concentration change rate. ,predict + ( Concentration value after 3-8 minutes (the hydration reaction delay time). Adjust the implementing agency in advance: in The error correction term is updated in real time using a BP neural network trained on historical data. Finally, according to With target concentration To mitigate the deviation, the proportional coefficient Kp, integral coefficient Ki, and derivative coefficient Kd of the PID controller are dynamically adjusted to avoid the overshoot problem of traditional PID controllers. when When the proportional coefficient Kp is increased (0.8→1.2), the response speed is accelerated. According to the proportional control principle, increasing Kp can accelerate the system response speed, enabling the control system to react more quickly to the concentration deviation. By increasing the adjustment range of lime dosage, the gap between the actual concentration and the target concentration can be quickly narrowed. Alternatively, reduce the integral coefficient Ki (0.1→0.05). The integral coefficient is used to eliminate steady-state error. If Ki is too large, it can easily cause integral saturation, leading to overshoot or lag in the system regulation. Reducing Ki can weaken the accumulation rate of the integral term and avoid controller output saturation due to long-term deviation accumulation, thereby maintaining the stability and control accuracy of the system.
[0018] 3. Co-design with hardware Hardware redundancy design: The radioactivity density meter and the Coriolis mass flow meter (backup) form a dual detection channel. When the main sensor fails, the system automatically switches to the backup channel and calculates the concentration through the mass flow data to ensure continuous detection. Algorithm fault tolerance mechanism: When the activity coefficient K exceeds the normal range (0.8-1.2), the system automatically starts the EDTA titration calibration program (once every 4 hours), corrects the feedforward formula parameters, and triggers an audible and visual alarm to prompt the operator to check the quality of the lime raw materials; Anti-interference hardware collaboration: All sensor signals are transmitted to the PLC through an isolation module (4-20mA current signal), the mixing tank is equipped with a shock-absorbing base, and the pipes are lined with UHMWPE to reduce adhesion, thereby reducing the impact of interference on the algorithm from the hardware level.
[0019] 4. Work Process Initialization phase: Input the target concentration required by the process. The system automatically loads initial PID parameters and activity coefficient K=1.0 based on parameters such as the volume V of the mixing tank. Feedforward dosing stage: The weighing sensor detects the amount of lime added, the water metering pump injects water into the mixing tank according to the flow rate calculated by the feedforward formula, and the agitator starts stirring (45 rpm). Real-time detection phase: The radiometric densitometer, calcium ion electrode, and temperature sensor simultaneously collect data and transmit it to the control unit; Two-dimensional compensation stage: The control unit corrects the activity coefficient K through a feedforward algorithm and predicts the concentration change trend through a feedback algorithm, and dynamically adjusts the screw feeder speed and clean water flow rate; Closed-loop stable phase: when and The deviation is ≤ ±0.002 g / cm 3 When the system reaches a stable state, it maintains the current execution parameters, and the automatic cleaning device starts every 2 hours to clean the sensor probe. Anomaly Handling Phase: When the deviation persists for more than 5 minutes or the sensor signal is abnormal, the system switches to the backup detection channel, triggers an alarm, and records the fault data.
