[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0020] Example 1, such as Figs. 1-2 As shown, a combustion optimization and adjustment device for a hot blast stove 1 includes a hot blast stove 1, which is the core combustion vessel responsible for mixing and burning coal gas and air to provide stable high-temperature hot air for the blast furnace, directly participating in combustion optimization, and ensuring that the heat output meets process requirements. An air inlet pipe 2 is connected to the hot blast stove 1, which transports air and coal gas to the hot blast stove 1.
[0021] The air inlet pipe 2 is equipped with an air inlet pipe 3 and a gas inlet pipe 4 at its end, which respectively supply air and gas, featuring a dual-path independent regulation design. A flow regulating valve 5 is installed on the air inlet pipe 2 to control the total gas flow rate. An air regulating valve 6 and a gas regulating valve 7 are respectively installed on the air inlet pipe 3 and gas inlet pipe 4, controlling the flow rate ratio within their respective pipes.
[0022] Servo motors 8 are installed on flow regulating valve 5, air regulating valve 6, and gas regulating valve 7. A rotating shaft is connected to the bottom of servo motor 8, and a baffle 9 is installed on the rotating shaft. Servo motor 8 drives the rotating shaft to rotate the baffle 9, adjusting the valve opening. Servo motor 8 provides precise angle control, enabling fine-tuning of flow. Servo motor 8 is connected to PLC 11 via data cable 10. PLC 11 receives sensor data and dynamically adjusts the valve opening using a PID algorithm, achieving closed-loop control. Data cable 10 transmits data and sends control commands from PLC 11 to servo motor 8. Data cable 10 uses industrial-grade shielded cable to resist electromagnetic interference.
[0023] The specific design of the aforementioned key components will be discussed in detail below:
[0024] The air inlet pipe 2 is connected to the air inlet pipe 3 and the gas inlet pipe 4 via a tee, forming a Y-shape. The inner diameter ratio of the air pipe to the gas pipe is 1:1.2, for example, the air pipe is DN200 and the gas pipe is DN240, adapting to different gas flow rate requirements, preferably an air flow rate of 8-12 m / s and a gas flow rate of 6-10 m / s. Preferably, a static mixer is installed 1 m downstream of the air inlet pipe 2 to achieve a 98% uniformity of air-gas mixing.
[0025] The air inlet pipe 2, air inlet pipe 3 and gas inlet pipe 4 all adopt a double-layer structure, with the outer layer being high-temperature resistant stainless steel and the inner layer being coated with a silicon carbide ceramic coating with a thickness of 0.5-1.2mm.
[0026] The hot blast stove 1 is equipped with a ring-shaped temperature sensor array at its top, a pressure sensor is embedded in the middle of the air inlet pipe 2, and gas composition analyzers are installed inside the air inlet pipe 3 and the gas inlet pipe 4. Eight K-type thermocouples are embedded in the refractory layer of the hot blast stove 1 arch, evenly distributed in a 45° ring, with a depth of 50 mm, a detection range of 0-1500℃, and an accuracy of ±1.5℃. A weighted average algorithm is used to process the temperature data at the eight points to identify local overheating.
[0027] The pressure sensor is a piezoelectric sensor, installed in the middle straight section of the air inlet pipe 2. The gas composition analyzer inserts multi-channel probes into the air inlet pipe 3 and the gas inlet pipe 4, using non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to detect CO2 and O2, and an electrochemical sensor to detect CO.
[0028] The temperature sensor, pressure sensor, and gas composition analyzer are all connected to the PLC11. The PLC11 is a Siemens S7-1500 series, configured with AI and AO modules. The signal cables are shielded twisted-pair cables with single-end grounding of the shielding layer, and are EMC III compliant with electromagnetic interference protection.
[0029] The theoretical air-fuel ratio is calculated based on the preset calorific value of the gas. For example, for high-calorific-value gas, the ratio is set to 2.3:1. The opening of the air regulating valve 6 and the gas regulating valve 7 is adjusted by PID control. When the average temperature of the ring sensor is >1350℃, PLC11 closes the gas valve at a rate of 0.5% / s. If the temperature is <1300℃, the opening of the air valve is increased first. At the same time, the historical best combustion parameters are stored for rapid matching under similar working conditions.
[0030] The baffle 9 is a circular plate, with a rotating shaft connecting its top. The servo motor 8 drives the baffle 9 to rotate within a range of 0-90°. The baffle 9 is made of Hastelloy C276 alloy with a tungsten carbide coating. The flow rate curve corresponding to the 0-90° rotation angle of the baffle 9 exhibits an equal percentage characteristic; for example, at a 50° opening, the flow rate is 65% of the fully open flow. The servo motor 8 is a Panasonic MINAS A6 series, with a double-lip fluororubber oil seal at the motor shaft end, providing an IP67 protection rating.
[0031] Collaborative work examples
[0032] When the hot blast stove 1 enters the combustion stage, PLC11, based on preset parameters, opens the air regulating valve 6 to 30%, the gas valve to 25%, and the flow regulating valve 5 to full opening. The ring sensor detects the dome temperature. If it does not reach 1200℃ within 10 minutes, PLC11 activates the fuzzy PID algorithm to gradually increase the opening of the gas regulating valve 7. When the dome temperature reaches 1350℃ and the exhaust gas temperature stabilizes at 390℃, the gas analyzer reports O2 = 3.1%. PLC11 fine-tunes the air-fuel ratio to 2.35:1 and records the optimal parameters for this operating condition. If the pressure sensor detects a sudden drop of 0.2MPa in the pipeline pressure, PLC11 immediately closes the gas valve to prevent backfire.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art.

In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
