Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
In one aspect, the invention provides an online analysis method for chemical components of molten iron in a hot metal ladle. According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, the method includes:
S100, acquiring weight information of molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank corresponding to different moments in the process of flowing molten iron into the molten iron tankAnd content information of element i in molten iron before flowing into the ladle
Specifically, the embodiment of the invention adopts an online component analyzer to obtain the content information of the element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank corresponding to different timesThe content informationRefers to mass percent information.
The on-line component analyzer focuses high-energy pulse laser on molten iron to be detected to generate plasma through an optical system, then detects plasma signal light spectrum data through a spectrum detector, finally realizes on-line detection of molten iron components before flowing into a molten iron tank through data processing of the spectrum, and can acquire content information of a certain set element or a plurality of set elements in the molten iron.
The on-line component analyzer can detect the content of the set component contained in the surface of the object at thirty times per second, but due to the requirement of on-site production and the high-frequency detection limit of the analyzer, the invention sets that the content of a certain set element or a plurality of set elements in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank is detected once every 2-6 minutes, thereby obtaining the weight information of the molten iron corresponding to different momentsAnd content information of element i in molten iron before flowing into the ladleSimilarly, the invention sets that the weight information of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank is detected once every 2-6 minutes, thereby obtaining the weight information of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank corresponding to different times
Specifically, the element i is an element set in the online component analyzer, and the online component analyzer can only detect the content of the set element, for example, the set element i may be at least one of Si, S, mn, ti, cu, P, sn, as and C.
S200, according to the weight information of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank corresponding to different momentsFitting to obtain a curve function M (t) of the weight of the molten iron in the molten iron tank along with the inflow time t, and obtaining content information of an element i in the molten iron before the molten iron flows into the molten iron tank according to the corresponding different momentsFitting to obtain an interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t) of the content of the element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank along with the flowing time t.
As described above, due to the requirement of on-site production and the limitation of high-frequency detection of the analyzer itself, the on-line component analyzer can detect a certain set element or contents of a plurality of set elements in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank only once every 2-6 minutes, and cannot detect every moment in the process of flowing into the molten iron tank, and cannot realize on-line analysis and detection of molten iron components in the whole discharge period or a certain period. In order to overcome the technical problem, the embodiment of the invention is based on the content information of the element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank corresponding to different momentsFitting to obtain an interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t) of the content of the element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank along with the flowing time t, wherein the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t) is used for calculating the average content of the element i in the molten iron tank at any time tn in the molten iron discharging period in the subsequent stepInformation and/or average content of element i in molten iron flowing into the ladle in any time period from tm to tnInformation. Meanwhile, according to the weight information of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank corresponding to different momentsFitting to obtain a curve function M (t) of the weight of the molten iron in the molten iron tank along with the change of inflow time t, wherein the curve function M (t) is used for calculating the total weight of the molten iron in the molten iron tank at any time tn in a molten iron discharge period in the subsequent stepAnd/or the total weight of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank within any time period from tm to tn
Specifically, in step S100, at least 20 pieces of information on the weight of molten iron flowing into the hot metal ladle corresponding to different times are acquiredAnd content information of element i in molten iron before flowing into the ladleThereby, the accuracy of the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t) of the content of the element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank and the curve function M (t) of the weight of the molten iron in the molten iron tank with the inflow time t obtained by fitting can be ensured. It will be appreciated that the greater the number of detections, the greater the accuracy of the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t) and the curve function M (t) obtained by fitting.
As a specific example, referring to fig. 2, the fitted curve function M (t) of the weight of molten iron in the molten iron tank with respect to the inflow time t is a binary linear function. It should be noted that, the fitting process of the curve function M (t) of the molten iron weight in the molten iron tank along with the inflow time t belongs to a conventional technology in the art, and will not be described herein.
Specifically, the fitting process of the smoothing function Ci (t) of the content of the element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank along with the inflow time t is that the smoothing function Ci (t) is formed by connecting adjacent time points by adopting a smooth curve, as shown in fig. 3.
Specifically, the interpolation function Ci (t) in which the content of the element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank changes with the inflow time t is fitted by connecting adjacent time points by straight lines, so that the interpolation function Ci (t) is formed.
S300, according to the curve function M (t), calculating to obtain the total weight of the molten iron in the molten iron tank at any time tn in the molten iron discharge periodAnd/or the total weight of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank within any time period from tm to tnAccording to the curve function M (t) and the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t), calculating to obtain the average content of the element i in the molten iron tank at any time tn in the molten iron discharging periodInformation and/or average content of element i in molten iron flowing into the ladle in any time period from tm to tnInformation.
Specifically, in the molten iron discharge period, the total weight of molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank at any time tnThe calculation formula of (2) is as follows:
Wherein M (t0) is the net weight of the hot-metal ladle, and M (tn) is the total weight of the hot-metal ladle at the moment tn.
Specifically, the total weight of molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank in any period from tm to tn in the molten iron discharge periodThe calculation formula of (2) is as follows:
Wherein M (tn) is the total weight of the hot-metal ladle at the time tn, and M (tm) is the total weight of the hot-metal ladle at the time tm.
Specifically, in the molten iron discharge period, the total weight of the element i in the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank at any time tn is the integral area of the product of the curve function M (t) and the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t), and the calculation formula is:
In the molten iron discharge period, the content of an element i in molten iron flowing into a molten iron tank at any time tn is as follows:
It should be explained that, the smoothing function Ci (t) is obtained by connecting adjacent time points by using a smoothing curve, so that the smoothing function Ci (t) is actually formed by combining multiple sections of curve functions, that is:
Wherein Δt is the detection time interval of the online component analyzer, and each time interval may be the same time interval or different time intervals according to the requirement of online detection of molten iron components in the on-site production process.
Similarly, the interpolation function Ci (t) is obtained by connecting adjacent time points using straight lines, and thus the interpolation function Ci (t) is actually formed by combining a plurality of linear functions.
Then, integrating the products of the linear or curve functions and the curve function M (t), and finally adding the integrated values of the sections to obtain the total weight of the element i in the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank at any time tn.
Specifically, in the molten iron discharge period, the total weight of the element i in the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank in any period from tm to tn is the integral area of the product of the curve function M (t) and the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t), and the calculation formula is:
Average content of element i in molten iron tank in any time period from tm to tn detection in the molten iron discharge period:
Similarly, in the calculation process of the total weight of the element i in the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank in any time period from tm to tn, the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t) is divided into a plurality of sections of linear or curve functions according to the detection time points, then the sections of linear or curve functions are integrated with the products of the curve functions M (t), and finally the integrated values of the sections are added to obtain the total weight of the element i in the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank in any time period from tm to tn.
According to the on-line analysis method of the chemical components of the molten iron in the molten iron tank, the method is based on the weight information of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank at different momentsAnd content information of element i in molten iron before flowing into the ladleFitting to obtain a curve function M (t) of the weight of molten iron in the molten iron tank and an interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t) of the content of an element i in the molten iron before flowing into the molten iron tank and changing along with the inflow time t, and calculating to obtain the total weight of the molten iron in the molten iron tank at any time tn in the molten iron discharge period according to the curve function M (t) and the interpolation or smoothing function Ci (t)And/or the total weight of the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank within any time period from tm to tnAverage content of element i in molten iron tank at arbitrary time tn in molten iron discharge periodInformation and/or average content of element i in molten iron flowing into the ladle in any time period from tm to tnInformation. Therefore, the method realizes the on-line analysis of the weight and chemical components of the molten iron in the molten iron tank at any time in the whole discharge period or the molten iron flowing into the molten iron tank at a certain period, and is rapid in real time, thereby providing key technical support for the on-line detection and analysis of the chemical components of the molten iron in the molten iron tank in the steel smelting.
