BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides an operation behavior record management method, system and device. The present invention works out a “three types of data” theory and specific solutions for specific application scenarios in the industrial field and service field, and achieves real-time online accumulation, induction and reuse of experts' operating experience and workers' labor skills, and also achieves human-system, machine-system, system-human, system-machine, and machine-machine interaction and transfer of skills and experience, thereby reaching the objectives of energy saving, consumption reduction, quality control, efficiency improvement, safe operation, and resource optimization, and the like, and also solving the enterprise's problems of difficulty in cultivating high-skilled workers, high loss of high-skilled workers, and unbalance in workers' skills.


The three types of data include basic work condition data, operational data, and evaluation data.


The basic work condition data represent a class of factors that actually exist in the production process, such as external input, external environment, production plans, cannot be changed or are not suitable to be changed, and have an impact on the production process and results.


The operational data represents human intervention in the production process, such as machine configuration, worker's manipulation for devices and the like.


The evaluation data represents optimization objectives, such as energy saving, consumption reduction, quality control, efficiency improvement, safe operation, and resource optimization. The optimization objectives here include objective values and optimization directions, such as: lower (direction) energy consumption (objective value); higher (direction) pass rate (objective value); higher (direction) yield of molten steel (objective value); lower (direction) ammonia escape rate (objective value); and shorter (direction) turnaround time (objective value).


An operation behavior record management method comprises:

Further, after the operation suggestions are adopted by workers or the control system and equipment are reversely controlled by the operation suggestions, the operational data and evaluation data in real-time production change, and a new round of operation behavior recording process is entered, thereby ensuring the iterative update of the knowledge base.


Further, the constraints include preconditions for the optimization objectives, negative lists for operational data, and compliance constraints for evaluation data.


The precondition for the optimization objectives refers to reaching the optimization objectives when the preconditions are met; for example, energy consumption is reduced on the precondition that the product quality reaches the standard.


The negative list for operational data refers to dangerous operation behaviors that should be prohibited for reasons of equipment safety and personnel safety.


The compliance constraints refer to situations, in the evaluation of various results caused by basic operating condition data and operational data, that violate national standards, affect product quality compliance, and have adverse effects on subsequent processes.


Further, the operation behavior record set only retains a group of operation behavior records corresponding to optimal evaluation data or top N operation behavior records, such as the top ten, which reduces the space occupied by the database and improves the speed of giving operation suggestions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order to make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that specific embodiments described here are merely illustrative of the present invention rather than limiting it.


EXAMPLE 1

An operation behavior record management method comprises the following steps:


In step S10, basic work condition data, operational data, evaluation data and constraints between two of the three types of data or among the three types of data are determined, wherein the basic work condition data, the operational data and the evaluation data all have at least one dimension, and in different application scenarios, the dimensions are different.


Specifically, the constraints include preconditions for the optimization objectives, negative lists for operational data, and compliance constraints for evaluation data.


The precondition for the optimization objectives refers to reaching the optimization objectives when the preconditions are met; for example, energy consumption is reduced on the precondition that the product quality reaches the standard.


The negative lists for the operational data refer to dangerous operation behaviors that should be prohibited for reasons of equipment safety and personnel safety. The compliance constraints refer to situations, in the evaluation of various results caused by basic operating condition data and operational data, that violate national standards, affect product quality compliance, and have adverse effects on subsequent processes.


In step S20, a subdivision rule for each dimension of the basic work condition data is set, and the basic work condition data is classified into at least one subdivided work condition through the subdivision rule. Each subdivided work condition corresponds to an operation behavior record set. When the classification is finer, there are more subdivided work conditions, the knowledge base is more detailed, and the practicability and applicability are better.


In step S30, an operation behavior recording rule is formulated, and real-time and/or historical basic work condition data, operational data, and evaluation data are obtained. That is, the data can be derived from historical operations or real-time operations. If there is historical data, the improvement of the database can be accelerated. If there is no historical data, the database can continue to improve itself in practice.


In step S40, an operation behavior recording process is entered and the constraints are checked. If all the constraints are met, the subdivided work conditions, the operational data and the evaluation data are added to the corresponding operation behavior record set as a complete operation behavior record.


In step S50, the current basic work condition data is obtained, the corresponding subdivided work condition and its operation behavior record set are searched, and operational data corresponding to optimal evaluation data is selected from operation behavior records that meet the constraints to form operation suggestions.


In step S60, after the operation suggestions are adopted by workers or the control system and device are reversely controlled by the operation suggestions, the operational data and evaluation data in real-time production change, and a new round of operation behavior recording process S40 is entered, thereby ensuring the iterative update of the data base.

Coal gasification is a thermochemical processing process of coal. It is a process in which using coal or coal char as raw material, oxygen (air, oxygen-rich gas or industrial pure oxygen) and steam as gasification agents, combustible parts of coal or char are converted into combustible gas through chemical reactions under a high temperature and a high pressure. The generated combustible gas is mainly composed of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane. The combustible gas obtained during gasification becomes coal gas. The coal gas used as chemical raw material is generally called syngas, and the device for gasification is called gas generator or gasifier. Controllable parameters of the coal gasifier include oxygen addition, fuel layer thickness, air supply volume, air pressure, furnace temperature, furnace outlet pressure, and gasification agent dosage. The optimization objective herein is to achieve higher gasification efficiency.

In step S40, operation record collection is carried out.


If there is currently an operation record collection plan and the collection time is up, the constraints are checked. If all the constraints are met, the basic work condition data (coal type, the moisture content of coal, the clinkering property of coal, the reactivity of coal, the particle size of coal, the ash fusion point of coal, the volatile content of coal, the ash content of coal, and ambient temperature), operational data (oxygen addition, thickness of fuel layer, air supply volume, air pressure, furnace temperature, furnace outlet pressure, and gasification agent dosage), and evaluation data (gasification efficiency) are added to the knowledge base as a complete knowledge record.


In step S50, intelligent decision-making is performed.


The current basic work conditions are obtained and the knowledge base is searched for the corresponding subdivided work conditions. For knowledge records that meet the constraints, records corresponding to the optimal evaluation data are selected as the basis for generating operation suggestions. The oxygen addition, the fuel layer thickness, the air supply volume, the air pressure, the furnace temperature, the furnace outlet pressure, and the gasification agent dosage in the knowledge record are used as recommended data and support for coal gasifier operation settings.

Syngas is prepared from coal-water slurry, where water-gas shift is carried out in the presence of a shift catalyst and then methanol is synthesized in the presence of a methanol synthesis catalyst in a methanol converter. Coal reacts with O2 in the air to produce crude gas with high CO content in a coal gasifier. The hydrogen-to-carbon ratio required for methanol synthesis is reached by converting CO into H2 through high-temperature shift. Since coal-to-methanol has less carbon and more hydrogen, hydrogen must be recovered from the exhaust gas of the synthesis cell to reduce coal consumption and energy consumption. Syngas required for production of methanol is prepared from recovered hydrogen and the purified syngas. The controllable parameters of the methanol converter include synthesis pressure, the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of feed gas, space velocity, catalyst dosage, and reaction temperature.

The generation process of synthetic ammonia can basically be divided into 3 steps: preparation of feed gas; purification of feed gas; synthesis of ammonia: steam is decomposed by the combustion of solid fuel (coke or coal), and O2 in the air reacts with coke or coal to produce a gas mixture of N2, H2, CO, CO2 and the like.

After wet desulfurization by using a zinc oxide desulfurizer, carbon monoxide reacts with water to adjust the carbon-to-hydrogen ratio so that the shift gas has a certain carbon-to-hydrogen ratio, and then is fed to the methanol synthesis loop. Replacement gas is pressurized to a certain pressure by a gas-forming compressor and then enters the synthesis converter to reacts at a certain temperature in the presence of a copper-based catalyst, and the product undergoes double-column rectification to obtain methanol.

Control for Aluminum Alloy Refining Operation


Process: feeding melt into holding furnace→adding alloy→hydrogen removal→slag removal and refining→slag removal and coverage→standing (15-30 minutes)→melt composition inspection and testing→adjustment of alloy composition→adjustment of temperature→qualified aluminum alloy melt→pouring preparation.


The main purpose of aluminum alloy refining is to remove the gas and non-metallic inclusions from the melt and to uniform the alloy composition. Refining is an extremely important process in smelting. In refining, the refining agent should be correctly selected, and its dosage (0.5%-0.7% of the alloy by mass) and the refining temperature (700° C. to 720° C.) should be well controlled. During the refining process, a bell jar is used to press the refining agent to about ⅔ under the molten metal surface in batches, and the molten metal is then stirred clockwise evenly and slowly. The molten metal should be stirred slowly and stably to avoid the increase of hydrogen content and introduction of inclusions. Therefore, it is required to comprehensively consider refining temperature, refining time, nitrogen pressure, nitrogen consumption, nitrogen injection time before charging, nitrogen injection time after charging, refining agent dosage, powder feeding speed and other factors, and through the application of artificial intelligence system, the refining agent dosage is reduced. In this way, the lower gas content of the aluminum melt is achieved.

Heating Control for Aluminum Alloy Smelting


Process: preparation of aluminum alloy material (in smelting furnace)→batch calculation→smelting process control (addition of temperature-controlled alloy)→alloy smelting→electromagnetic stirring.


During the smelting process of aluminum alloy, smelting temperature, smelting time, heating speed and other factors have a great influence on the oxidative burning loss. If the smelting temperature is too high, the oxidation of the alloy can be aggravated; the faster the heating speed, the shorter the smelting time and the less the oxidative burning loss of the alloy. Therefore, the selection of heating conditions for aluminum alloy smelting actually focuses on the problem of how to reduce the time it takes to react with oxygen at a high temperature during the smelting process. Therefore, it is required to comprehensively consider charging sequence, smelting temperature, smelting time, oil pressure, oil quantity, fuel ratio, the flow rate of combustion-supporting air, covering agent dosage and other factors. Through the application of artificial intelligence system, the aluminum smelting process is controlled accurately and the oxidative burning loss of the aluminum alloy is reduced.

EXAMPLE 27

Control for Aluminum Electrolysis


Process: aluminium oxide is dissolved in the molten cryolite melt to form a uniform melt with good electrical conductivity. An anode and a cathode are made of a carbon material. When direct current is turned on, an electrochemical reaction occurs on the two electrodes. Anode gas is generated on the anode, and liquid aluminum is precipitated on the cathode. The liquid aluminum is periodically sucked out from a reduction cell by vacuum ladle and sent to an attached foundry to be cast as aluminum ingots for remelting. In the normal processing of the reduction cell, the cell controller controls the feeding interval and feeding amount according to the aluminium oxide concentration. In the actual production process, due to external factors such as equipment, it is often required to manually adjust the feeding interval to meet the production needs. The aluminum electrolysis process is greatly affected by strong nonlinearity and various unpredictable factors. It is not easy to measure the concentration of aluminium oxide in the reduction cell. Moreover, the actual controllable aluminium oxide concentration range of the reduction cell is different under different cell conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to precisely control the aluminium oxide concentration in the reduction cell. At present, the control range of aluminium oxide concentration for large-scale pre-baked aluminum reduction cells in China is from 1.5% to 3.5%. If the aluminum oxide concentration is too high in the electrolysis process, it will cause problems such as precipitation at the bottom of the cell, instability of the aluminum liquid layer, and increased resistance. When the concentration is too low, the anode effect is likely to occur, which reduces the current efficiency. Therefore, it is required to comprehensively consider voltage, aluminium oxide feeding amount, aluminium oxide feeding interval, electrolytic cell temperature, electrolyte molecular ratio, pole distance, aluminum level, electrolyte level, the thickness of thermal insulation material, and other factors. Through the application of artificial intelligence system, the lower power consumption of aluminum electrolysis is achieved.

Optimization of Converter Operation in Copper Smelting Process


In the converter operation of copper smelting process, the steam drying, flash smelting, P-S converter blowing, and rotary anode furnace refining of copper concentrate is adopted. The copper concentrate is treated by flash smelting technology to produce high-grade matte. The matte of the flash furnace is discharged into a matte ladle through a launder and transported to the converter by two 85-ton cranes. The converter adopts 3 P-S converters with a capacity of 260 tons to produce blister copper with a copper content of 98% or above. The blister copper is further refined in an anode furnace and finally cast into anode plates by an M18 double disc caster. The flash slag and converter slag are transported to a slag flotation workshop for treatment through the slag ladle, and the resulting slag concentrate is returned back in the flash furnace and smelted therein. In the converter process, the raw material is matte, and the matte is oxidized to blister copper through oxygen blowing, feeding and other operations. Different operations in the blowing process (oxygen blowing and feeding) will cause the temperature of the blowing process to fluctuate. However, the converter blowing process is very sensitive to the temperature stability, which is of great significance to the smelting time.

The shredded tobacco produced by the main production line, the shredded tobacco produced by the small production line, and the shredded tobacco produced by the stem production line are accurately and uniformly blended according to the design requirements of the product formula. However, due to the phenomenon that the production of the small production line and the stem production line is not synchronized with the production of the large production line, the products produced by the small production line and the stem production line are first put into a module cabinet until the drying process of large production line is completed before premixing and blending. In this way, the moisture of the shredded tobacco in the small production line and the stem production line will be lost, resulting in a situation that the original outlet moisture content of the dried tobacco from the production lines meets the process standard, but the moisture content after the actual blending does not meet the process standard.

EXAMPLE 71

Rotary Kiln Operation


After being pre-decomposed and preheated in the cyclone preheater, all the raw materials are combusted in the rotary kiln to form clinker. A very high temperature is required during the process of combusting the raw materials to obtain clinker, which consumes more coal fed and lots of heat energy. If the air, coal, material and kiln speed are reasonably controlled, the unit energy consumption of the rotary kiln can be saved.

In step S10, three data dimensions are determined.


Basic work conditions: raw meal dosage, outlet temperature of decomposing furnace, temperature of the combustion zone, the temperature of the kiln-tail smoke chamber, and the decomposition rate of the raw material entering the kiln.


Operational data: rotation speed of the kiln, instantaneous coal feed at the kiln head, the rotation speed of exhaust blower, high-temperature blower speed, tertiary air valve opening, and negative pressure of kiln-head hood.


Optimization objective: to reduce the unit coal consumption of rotary kiln.


Constraints: rotation speed of the kiln, rotary kiln temperature, kiln continuous operation time of the kiln, and coal feeding ratio of kiln head and kiln tail.


In step S20, a subdivision rule is set for each data dimension of the basic work conditions.

If all the constraints are met, the basic work condition data (raw meal dosage, outlet temperature of decomposing furnace, temperature of the combustion zone, the temperature of the kiln-tail smoke chamber, and the decomposition rate of the raw material entering the kiln), operational data (rotation speed of the kiln, instantaneous coal feed at the kiln head, the rotation speed of exhaust blower, high-temperature blower speed, tertiary air valve opening, and negative pressure of kiln-head hood) and evaluation data (unit coal consumption) are added to the knowledge base as a complete knowledge record.


In step S50, intelligent decision-making is performed.

For knowledge records that meet the constraints, records corresponding to the optimal evaluation data are selected as the basis for generating operation suggestions. The rotation speed of the kiln, the instantaneous coal feed at the kiln head, the rotation speed of exhaust blower, the high-temperature blower speed, the tertiary air valve opening, and the negative pressure of kiln-head hood in the knowledge record are used as recommended data and support for settings of air conditioning.
