AbstractCombining with the actual situation of 680M3 blast furnace electric automation instrument control system of Qinhuangdao Baigong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd, the paper emphatically expounds the reasonable application of Yiwei UN200 and UN300 series PLC expansion modules in charging system, hot blast stove system, bag dust removal system, blast furnace charging and distribution system, body instrument detection system and blower room. System, pump station system and screen monitoring, software function and other successful cases. This paper mainly introduces the design scheme of four sets of PLC system, such as feeding PLC main station, main body PLC main station, hot air PLC main station and bag PLC main station.


I. overall system design concept


According to the blast furnace technology, the general idea of low cost and high performance is adopted in a reasonable way. The automation system adopts the open structure of three-power integration, which creates conditions for the future expansion of the system, and retains the interface ability of the regional computer and the whole factory management computer.

According to the characteristics of blast furnace system decentralization, the master-slave network structure is adopted: the substation is connected to the master station system through the network line, which reduces the cable consumption, facilitates maintenance and greatly reduces the cost. Such as Yiwei IM153-1 can be used as a single slave station, and can be installed near the distribution room of blast furnace equipment. The cloth bag blowback is designed by matrix. The structure is simple, and the number of module points used is reduced.

The system uses billion-dimensional PLC as the basic control station to complete the control and monitoring of on-site process equipment; the upper operation uses billion-dimensional industrial control computer as the operating station to carry out man-machine dialogue, real-time monitoring of on-site equipment operation and various instrument parameters. In order to ensure the normal operation of the production under various circumstances, the system is mainly automatic, and the upper computer is reserved for each other.


In principle, the selection of automation device adopts the new technology and equipment at present detection level, and considers that the structure of control system is simple, practical and reliable, which fully meets the technological requirements. Reduce investment by ensuring product quality and ensuring that the system meets process requirements and performance as a whole.

3. Hot stove control system


The blast furnace is equipped with three hot blast stoves, which are mainly responsible for combustion, heat storage, cold air heating, and hot air into the blast furnace. Because a hot blast stove is intermittent heat exchange, and the blast furnace needs continuous hot air, so the three hot blast stoves work periodically, including combustion, blast stove, blast three processes.


Hot blast stove sequence control system has the following operating modes: automatic, semi-automatic, CRT manual mode, side box operation


Introduction to the working state of hot blast stove


A hot blast stove can be converted from "blowing" to "smoldering" to "burning" or from "burning" to "smoldering" to "blowing".


"Air supply" means that the hot stove is pressurized and both the cold air valve and the hot air valve are opened. All other valves are closed (excluding mixed air shutoff valves and heat exchanger valves).


"Combustion" means that the hot stove is decompressed, the cold air valve, the hot air valve and the cold air charging valve are closed, the exhaust gas pressure equalizing valve is opened, and the combustion-supporting air and gas are introduced into the hot stove.


"Suffocation" means that all the valves of the hot stove are closed, but the pressure control is still in operation, and a hot stove is ready to be charged or equalized at any time.


Working system of hot blast stove:


Under normal conditions, the hot blast stove adopts the parallel air supply, or the two-burning-one-feeding system, and the abnormal operation is one-burning-one-feeding system.


Each hot-blast stove can automatically switch between the three states of "stove", "air supply" and "combustion". Each valve switch is controlled by PLC program. After issuing the order of changing stove, the hot-blast stove equipment carries out interlocking action according to the sequence of technological requirements.



4. Dry type purification control system for blast furnace gas


The blast furnace gas dedusting facility is the auxiliary facility of the blast furnace. Its purpose is to purify the blast furnace gas and improve the quality of the gas. After the blast furnace gas is dusted by gravity dust collector, it enters the lower part of the main box of cloth bag. When the gas passes through the cloth bag, the dust carried by the gas is intercepted by the cloth bag, and the filtered and purified gas is transported to the hot blast stove or the gas pipe network through the high pressure valve group for users to use. Dust filtered by bag filter is washed by pulse valve and falls into ash storage bin; unloading valve is opened, output by scraper, and sent to high ash bin by bucket lift.

1)This set of facilities has designed three kinds of back-blowing methods, time back-blowing (set time to), pressure back-blowing (pressure difference is higher than the set value), manual back-blowing.

2) The dust removal system consists of two control processes: back-blowing and dust discharge, all of which can be controlled manually, semi-automatically and automatically.

The automatic blow back mode is: differential pressure reverse blow and timing blow. Differential back-blowing is when the box differential pressure is higher than the set differential pressure value (3KPA), automatic back-blowing starts when the timing time reaches the set back-blowing time.

A. When barren clean gas main pipe pressure difference reaches 6 ~ 8Kpa (can be set) to carry out anti blow. At the same time, the timing blow option is selected, and the cloth bag is blowback through the same period.

B.The backblowing time of the chamber is 10-20 seconds (adjustable). The backblowing sequence is N1, N2, N3... N10. The nozzles on the air drum are also sequentially operated n1, n2, n3.... N14 until all the 10 chambers are blown back, and the backblowing process is over.

C. box reverse blow by off-line blowback. When the total pressure difference of clean waste gas reaches a set value of 6Kpa, the inlet and outlet butterfly valves of the working box body are closed first, and then the back blowing is carried out. Immediately after the blowback, the butterfly valve of the inlet and outlet is opened, and the reverse blow of the next box is carried out in turn.

D. each bag has a jitter of 2 times per time (adjustable).

E. automatic operation of discharging ash is: timing ash unloading. Set the discharging time, automatically start the discharging bucket lifter, hanging plate machine, according to the technical requirements to open the selected discharging box on the equipment (up discharging valve, down discharging valve, impeller feeder, ash bucket plug removal device pulse valve), generally set 3/24, automatically complete the discharging operation.

The action sequence of the lower part of the intermediate warehouse:

When the upper part of the N1 cabinet is discharged, the middle bin is discharged. The common equipment, i.e. inclined tube vibrator bucket lifter scraper conveyor, is first opened. Open after completion: N1 box electric feeder N1 box lower electric ball valve N1 box middle bin wall vibrator. After a delay of 30 seconds, close the lower part of the intermediate store.

The order is: the storehouse wall vibrator in Guanzhong warehouse, the lower part of the N1 box, the electric ball valve, the electric feeder.

After the bottom of the N1 box is unloaded, the bottom of the N2 box will be unloaded with N1 box. Followed by N3 boxes, N4 boxes, N5 boxes... N8 box.

When the bottom of the N10 box is discharged, the public equipment is closed. The order is:

Scraper conveyor, bucket elevator and inclined tube vibrator.


2)The operation sequence of the lower part of the high ash bin is all machine side operation, and the other equipment is controlled by PLC. :

Opening: humidifier ash discharging machine, electric ball valve, silo wall vibrator.

Closing: wall wall vibrator to electric ball valve to humidifier and ash disposal machine.


5. Charging system for blast furnace

The charging part of the blast furnace consists of two parts: the ore trough weighing and the top of the furnace. The two parts are connected by the charging truck. The charging function is completed by the coordinated action of the ore trough, the charging truck and the furnace top equipment according to the technological setting.

All kinds of materials are screened by vibrating screen and then directly loaded into the weighing bucket. Then a weighing bucket is loaded into the truck. The powder under the screen is transported to the silo by crushing belt, waiting for the truck to go out. The skip is driven by the main hoist to convey the ore to the top loading equipment and reach the parking space after 2 stages of speed change. The quality of each bin is changed at any time according to the requirements of the formula, and the operation of weighing and loading is automatically completed.
