Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal calorific value analysis, specifically to a coal calorific value analysis device based on hyperspectral imaging. Background Technology
[0002] Coal, as a traditional energy resource, is widely used globally, particularly in power generation, metallurgy, and chemical industries. With the adjustment of energy structure and increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, improving coal utilization efficiency and reducing environmental pollution have become critical issues urgently needing to be addressed by the coal industry. Among these, the calorific value of coal is a crucial indicator for evaluating coal quality, directly affecting combustion efficiency and energy conversion efficiency. Therefore, accurate and rapid determination of coal calorific value is of paramount importance for production scheduling, resource management, and the formulation of environmental policies in the coal industry.
[0003] Current traditional methods for detecting the calorific value of coal have many shortcomings. Conventional methods mainly include chemical analysis and indirect measurement. Chemical analysis typically requires multiple complex chemical reactions of the coal sample, and is time-consuming and costly. Indirect measurement methods mainly calculate the calorific value through the spectral characteristics of coal, but due to the complexity and variability of coal quality, existing spectral analysis methods have low accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new, efficient, and accurate coal calorific value analysis technology to meet the coal industry's demand for rapid and precise coal quality analysis.
[0004] Hyperspectral imaging, as an emerging remote sensing technology, has been widely applied in various fields in recent years. By acquiring multi-band spatial spectral information of objects, hyperspectral imaging can obtain richer spatial spectral information than traditional images. Compared with traditional spectral techniques, hyperspectral imaging provides more spectral detail and spatial information, offering significant advantages for qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances. In agriculture, environmental monitoring, and food safety, hyperspectral imaging has been successfully applied to the analysis of material composition, quality assessment, and environmental monitoring. For the calorific value analysis of coal, hyperspectral imaging can be used to perform in-depth analysis of the spatial spectral data of coal samples, extracting features related to calorific value, thereby achieving accurate prediction of the coal's calorific value.
[0005] Despite the significant achievements of hyperspectral imaging technology in many fields, it still faces several challenges in coal calorific value analysis. First, the inherent complexity of coal leads to considerable variability in its spatial-spectral characteristics. In particular, variations in factors such as mineral composition, moisture content, ash content, and organic components significantly affect the spatial-spectral response. Coal from different types, regions, and combustion conditions may exhibit substantial differences in their spatial-spectral characteristics, further complicating the processing of hyperspectral imaging data. Second, due to the diversity and complexity of coal samples, relying solely on hyperspectral imaging technology is insufficient for accurate prediction of coal calorific value. Therefore, combining hyperspectral imaging data with other analytical methods to extract key features influencing calorific value and establish efficient and accurate prediction models remains a key challenge in technological development.

A hyperspectral imager performs imaging and scanning of the coal powder to obtain hyperspectral data. The acquired data is then transmitted to the industrial touch screen all-in-one machine, which processes and analyzes the data and uses a built-in artificial intelligence algorithm to predict the calorific value of the coal, displaying the prediction results on the screen.

[0107] The working distance adjustment mechanism 14 includes a linear slide rail and a motor, and its main function is to adjust the working distance of the hyperspectral imager component 15.
[0108] Motor B receives instructions from the industrial touchscreen all-in-one machine 8 and dynamically adjusts the physical distance between the hyperspectral imager and the coal powder to be detected (located on the electrically controlled displacement platform 4) via a slide rail, achieving precise vertical displacement adjustment. This ensures the clarity and integrity of the hyperspectral image acquisition, avoiding data blurring or distortion caused by improper working distance.
[0109] Working principle:
[0110] Pressing the device start button 10 starts the entire analysis device. The industrial control all-in-one machine 8 controls the electrical connections, starts the suction machine 18, sets the working distance adjustment mechanism 14, adjusts the working distance between the hyperspectral imager 15 and the coal powder, and sets parameters such as exposure time, integration time, aperture size, and focal length of the hyperspectral imager 15. The sampling and powder preparation module is responsible for converting the raw coal sample into uniform coal powder of analytical grade and spreading it evenly on the electrically controlled displacement platform 4, preparing for hyperspectral data acquisition. The entire process includes two entry points (automatic acquisition or manual sample feeding), multi-stage physical processing (crushing, grinding, and sieving), and automated control (via the industrial touch screen all-in-one machine 8). The process begins with coal sample acquisition and ends with coal powder spreading, ensuring uniform coal powder particle size and high representativeness, which is beneficial for subsequent high-precision calorific value analysis.
[0111] The suction machine 18 is used to automatically collect coal samples on the coal conveyor belt. It draws the raw coal sample (lumpy coal or coarse-grained coal) into the system through a pipeline and transports it to the primary crusher 20. The manual sampling port 19 receives manually placed coal samples and transports them to the primary crusher 20. The primary crusher 20 performs preliminary crushing of the coal samples, breaking large pieces into smaller particles, and then transports these smaller particles to the fine pulverizer 21. The fine pulverizer 21 grinds the crushed coal samples into standard particle sizes, forming analytical-grade fine powder, and then transports the coal powder to the screening machine 22. The screening machine 22 screens the ground coal powder to ensure uniform particle size and then transports the coal powder to the temporary storage bin 23 for temporary storage. The temporary storage bin 23 temporarily stores the screened coal powder. The leveling mechanism 24 evenly spreads the coal powder onto the electrically controlled displacement platform. Coal powder is moved below the hyperspectral imager 15, which focuses the coal powder to observe a clear and complete hyperspectral image. The imager also allows for setting the opening and closing degree of the electrically controlled valve in the temporary storage chamber 23 and the transmission speed of the electrically controlled displacement platform 4, enabling continuous hyperspectral sampling. The hyperspectral imager 15 scans the coal powder to obtain hyperspectral data, which is then uploaded to the industrial control all-in-one machine 8. The industrial touch screen all-in-one machine 8 processes and analyzes the collected data, uses built-in artificial intelligence algorithms to predict the calorific value of the coal, and displays the prediction results on the screen.
