[0057] The invention provides a flocculant filling point determination method, device , electronic device and storage medium, as described below .

[0058] FIG . 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the flocculant filling point determination method provided by the present invention, as shown in FIG . 1 , the flocculant filling point determination method includes :

[0059] S 101 , determine the distance between the flocculant feed pipe into the depth of the thickening machine and the depth of the thickening machine , and obtain the second mapping relationship between the initial velocity and the distance between the flocculant feed pipe and the slurry inlet port ;

[0060] To determine the depth of the flocculant feeding tube and the distance between the flocculant filling pipe and the slurry inlet port , curve fitting is the third mapping between the slurry concentration and the depth of the flocculant feeding pipe , and the slurry concentration and the flocculant feed pipe and the distance between the slurry inlet port ;

[0061] The filling point of the flocculant is determined based on the first mapping relationship, the second mapping relationship, the third mapping relationship and the fourth mapping relationship .

[0062] It should be noted that the embodiment of the invention, in execution, requires the experimental analysis of a single variable at di f ferent initial velocity and slurry concentration . Through the accumulation of big data, the curve fitting analysis of the initial velocity of the collected slurry and the depth value of the tube and the distance value between the tube and the slurry inlet , so as to analyze the internal correlation between the two lines from a quantitative perspective . At the same time , a similar scheme is used to curve fit and analyze the nonlinear function relationship between the slurry concentration and the depth value of the flocculant feed tube into the thickener and the distance value between the flocculant feed pipe and the slurry inlet , so as to analyze the internal correlation between two lines from a quantitative perspective . Finally, after the analysis of the internal correlation, under the actual initial slurry speed and slurry concentration, the above depth and distance values can be determined according to these mapping relationships , so as to achieve accurate positioning, which is equivalent to the positioning of flocculant filling point .

[0063] It should be noted that the first mapping, second mapping, third mapping and fourth mapping relationships are all dimensionless mapping relationships .

[0064] Compared with the prior art , the method provided by the present invention first determines the depth value of the flocculant feeding tube into the thickmachine and the distance value between the feeding pipe and the slurry feeding port , and then performs curve fitting to obtain the corresponding mapping relationship, and finally the filling point of the flocculant is determined based on the mapping relationship . The present invention determines the depth and distance of the flocculant feeding tube into the thickmachine , and analyzes the intrinsic correlation of the filling points at di f ferent concentrations and di f ferent feeding speeds through the correlation calculation method, thus improving the ef ficiency while fully mixing the slurry and flocculant .

[0065] In some embodiments of the invention, the flocculant feed tube includes a first , second, and a third flocculating tube at a triangular point position . Speci fic, generally take 3 points to j oin, as shown in figure 2 , from the forced dilution pump outlet flow and overflow mixture , according to the center cylinder in the triangle distribution, and three di f ferent flocculating tube into the depth of the mixture is gradually reduced, in general , forced dilution pump outlet inserted flocculating tube , namely : the first flocculation tube . The upper edge of the first flocculant goes down to the first depth, allowing the flocculant to be mixed with a large amount of materials , preferably at the first depth of 15cm . The insertion depth of the second flocculant tube should be appropriately reduced during insertion, and the insertion depth of the second flocculant tube is a certain distance shorter than the first flocculate tube , which is preferably 10cm . The depth of the third flocculant tube is shorter than the depth of the second flocculant tube , which is preferably 5cm .

[0066] To be noted, The principle of the first flocculation tube , the second flocculation pipe and the third flocculation tube are mainly as follows : after the first flocculation pipe is added, the slurry starts to flocculation and settlement , Under the action of thrust , the slurry and flocculant mix and rotate in the steady current cylinder, The large particles after flocculation, After flocculation, the relatively small particles continue to rotate with the thrust in the steady cylinder, The sinking of the heavy particles during the rotation gives the slurry an upward buoyancy, When fine particles when gravity is less than buoyancy, Then the second flocculation tube added at the second point can further add the flocculant mixed flocculation, Flocculation of fine particles increases the gravity subsidence , Finally, the third flocculation tube added at the third point flocculation the remaining very fine particles to increase the gravity subsidence . Therefore , the design of flocculation tube at three di f ferent points can carry out the slurry of flocculation with di f ferent particle ularity, which accelerates the ef ficiency of flocculation and saves the amount of flocculant .

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, the depth value of the penetration of the flocculant inlet pipe into the thickener and the distance value of the flocculant inlet pipe and the slurry inlet are determined at di f ferent initial slurry speeds , including :

[0068] Determine the first depth value of the first flocculation tube into the thickener, the second depth value of the second flocculation tube into the thickener, and the third depth value of the third flocculating tube into the thickener at di f ferent initial velocities of slurry;

[0069] Determine the first distance value between the first flocculation pipe and the slurry inlet , the second distance value between the second flocculation pipe and the slurry inlet , and the third distance value between the third flocculation pipe and the slurry inlet at di f ferent initial velocities .

[0070] As a preferred embodiment , the first depth value is greater than the second depth value , and the second depth value is greater than the third depth value . In the embodiment of the invention, the curve fitting obtains a first mapping relationship between the initial velocity of the slurry and the depth of the flocculant feed tube into the thickener, including :

[0071] According to the slurry initial velocity, the first depth value , the second depth value and the third depth value , the curve fitting based on the B spline curve fitting method to obtain the expression of the first mapping relationship ;

[0072] Wherein, the expression of the first mapping relationship is :

[0073] Where , VO represents the initial velocity of the slurry, hl indicates the first depth value , h2 signi fies the second depth value , h3 denotes the third depth value , and al , bl , cl , a2 , b2 , c2 , a3 , and c3 represent the fitting parameters , all of which are constants .

[0074] It should be noted that after experimental demonstration and curve fitting analysis , the following nonlinear relationship between the initial velocity of the slurry and the correlation between the initial velocity and the first depth value is greater than the correlation between the initial velocity of the slurry and the second depth value , while the correlation between the initial velocity and the second depth value is slightly greater than the correlation between the initial velocity of the slurry and the third depth value .

[0075] It is understandable that the fitting parameters al fbl fcl fa2, b2, c2, d3, c3can be fine-tuned for the constants calculated from the intersection and cut points in the curve in the course of curve fitting .

[0076] In the embodiment of the present invention, the curve fitting obtains a second mapping relationship between the slurry initial velocity and the distance between the flocculant feed pipe and the slurry feed inlet , including :

[0077] According to the initial velocity of the slurry, the first distance value , the second distance value and the third distance value , the curve is fitted based on the B spline curve fitting method to obtain the expression of the second mapping relationship;

[0078] Wherein, the expression of the second mapping relationship is:

[0079] Where, vO represents the initial velocity of the slurry, 11 indicates the first distance, 12 signifies the second distance, and 13 denotes the third distance. The angles a, p, y represent the angles between the first, second, and third flocculation tubes and the slurry feed inlet in the horizontal direction, respectively. The parameters a4, b4, c4, a5, b5, c5, a6, b6, c6 are fitting constants .

[0080] It should be noted that after experimental demonstration and curve fitting analysis, the following conclusions can be verified: the nonlinear relationship between the initial velocity and the flocculant inlet tube and the slurry inlet distance and the first distance value, and the correlation between the initial velocity and the second distance value, and the correlation between the initial velocity and the third distance value is not much different.

[0081] Also need to note that the first flocculant pipe, the second flocculant pipe and the third flocculation pipe and slurry inlet in the horizontal direction, and is found in the experiment of a factor, in different slurry initial speed, when the slurry outlet and flocculant feeding tube the bottom Angle is not at the same time, the mixing effect of flocculant and flocculant. In the specific implementation, the first distance value is generally greater than the second distance value and the third distance value.

[0082] It is understandable that the fitting parameters a4, b4, c4, a5, b5, c5, a6, b6, c6 can be fine-tuned in the actual implementation process according to the intersection points, cut points and other geometric points in the curve fitting process.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present invention, the depth value of the flocculant inlet tube extending into the thickener and the distance value between the flocculant inlet pipe and the slurry inlet are determined at different slurry concentrations, including: Determine the fourth depth value of the first flocculation tube into the thickener, the fifth depth value of the second flocculation tube into the sixth depth value of the third flocculation tube into the thickener at different slurry concentrations ;

[0084] Determine the fourth distance between the first flocculation tube and the slurry inlet, the fifth distance between the second flocculation pipe and the sixth distance between the third flocculation pipe and the slurry inlet at different slurry concentrations .

[0085] In the embodiment of the present invention, curve fitting obtains a third mapping relationship between the slurry concentration and the depth of the flocculant feed tube into the thickmachine, including:

[0086] According to the slurry concentration, the fourth depth value, the fifth depth value and the sixth depth value, the curve fitting based on the least squares method to obtain the expression of the third mapping relationship;

[0087] Wherein, the expression of the third mapping relationship is:

[0088] Where Cc denotes the slurry concentration, h4 denotes the fourth depth value, h5 denotes the fifth depth value, h6 denotes the sixth depth value, and ml, nl, pl, m2, p2, n2, m3, and p3 denote the fitting parameters, all of which are constants.

[0089] It should be noted that after experimental demonstration and curve fitting analysis, the following conclusion can be verified: the nonlinear relationship between the slurry concentration and the correlation between the slurry concentration and the fourth depth value is less than the correlation between the slurry concentration and the fifth depth value, and the correlation between the slurry concentration and the fifth depth value is slightly greater than the correlation between the initial velocity of the slurry and the sixth depth value.

[0090] It is understandable that the fitting parameters ml, nl, pl, m2, n2, p2, m3, p3 can be fine-tuned in the actual implementation process according to the intersection points and cut points in the curve fitting process .

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, curve fitting yields a fourth mapping relationship between the slurry concentration and the distance between the flocculant feed pipe and the slurry feed port , including :

[0092] According to the slurry concentration, the fourth distance value , the fi fth distance value and the sixth distance value , the curve fitting based on the least squares method to obtain the expression of the fourth mapping relationship ;

[0093] Wherein, the expression of the fourth mapping relationship is :

[0094] Where Cc denotes the slurry concentration, 14 denotes the fourth depth value , 15 denotes the fi fth depth value , 16 denotes the sixth depth value , and m4 , p4 , m5 , n5 , p5 , m6 , n6 , p6 denote the fitting parameters , all of which are constants .

[0095] It should be noted that after experimental demonstration and curve fitting analysis , the following conclusion can be veri fied : the nonlinear relationship between the slurry concentration and the distance between the flocculant feed pipe and the correlation between the fourth distance value is greater than the correlation between the slurry concentration and the fi fth distance value , while the correlation between the slurry concentration and the fourth depth value is slightly less than the correlation between the initial velocity of the slurry and the sixth distance value .

[0096] It is understandable that the fitting parameters m4 , p4 , m5 , n5 , p5 , m6 , n6 , p6 can be fine-tuned in practice for the constants calculated from the intersection points and cut points in the curve in the course of curve fitting .

[0097] In some embodiments of the invention, filling points of flocculant are determined based on the first mapping relationship, second mapping relationship, third mapping relationship and fourth mapping relationship, including :

[0098] Establishing the weight distribution ratio between the initial velocity of the slurry and the relationship between the first and the second mapping relationship, determining the first mapping relationship, the second mapping relationship and the weight distribution ratio ;

[0099] The actual initial velocity and slurry concentration are obtained, and the depth value of the flocculant inlet tube into the thickener and the distance value of the flocculant between the inlet pipe and the slurry inlet are adj usted based on the filling distribution relationship .

[0100] Speci fically, the distribution of flocculant is expressed by the following formula :

[0101] Among them, S represents the flocculant filling point , which is used to characteri ze the depth value of the flocculant feed pipe into the thickmachine and the distance value between the flocculant feed pipe and the slurry inlet , and CO-L , CO2indicates the weight distribution ratio of the initial slurry speed and the slurry concentration respectively .

[0102] It should be noted that the formula for the filling allocation relationship of flocculant is a dimensionless mapping relationship

[0103] It is understandable that when the depth values determined by the first and the third mapping relationships may be di f ferent , then in the case of di f ferences , the weight allocation ratio is fine-ad usted to reach a more reasonable depth . Similarly, when the distance values determined by the second mapping relationship and the fourth mapping relationship may be di f ferent , then in the case of the di f ference , the weight allocation ratio is fine- adj usted to reach a more reasonable depth . It is necessary to explain here that there will be a small di f ference in the depth value determined by the first and third mapping relationships , which is a relevant experimental analysis and demonstration in the quantitative analysis . Similarly, the distance values determined by the second and fourth mapping relationships separately will have smaller di f ferences .

[0104] In conclusion, the flocculant filling point determination method provided by the embodiment of the invention determines the depth and distance of the flocculant feeding tube into the thickmachine through the curve fitting, and analyzes the intrinsic correlation of the filling points at di f ferent concentrations and di f ferent feeding speeds are determined by the correlation calculation, thus improving the ef ficiency of the slurry and flocculant .
