Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for controlling the loading of a shaft furnace, comprising a rotary or oscillating distribution chute for ensuring the distribution of the material on the loading surface of the furnace, one or more hoppers for storing the material in the above the oven, each provided with a metering valve for adjusting the flow rate of the loading material flowing from the hopper to the chute, a weighing system for determining the content of the hopper, method according to which it is determined, by calculation or experiment, the initial degree of opening of the valve so that the content of a hopper flows in a determined time, we memorize, for different types of material and different loading conditions, the theoretical curves of a flow constant determined as well as the corresponding position of the metering valve to ensure flow over the determined time, these curves providing at all times the set flow rate Q c and the position of the valve and, the actual flow rate Q is established at determined intervals, by measuring the reduction in weight AP of the content of the hopper per unit of time At and the actual flow rate Q is compared with the
- a shaft furnace When loading a shaft furnace using a distribution chute, it is generally arranged so as to deposit a layer, with diametrical symmetry and circular uniformity, on the loading surface using the contents d 'a storage hopper.
- a predetermined time imposed by the efficiency and capacity of the furnace, the distribution method and the coordination of operations, such as opening, closing of the valves, supply of the loading material, etc. Knowing therefore this available time, it is necessary to adjust the opening of the metering valve controlling the flow out of the hopper so that it empties at the moment when the chute ends its scanning phase at the expiration of the imposed time.
- the reduction in weight reduces the thrust on the flow so that the flow falls below the set flow. Because of this slowing, one necessarily exceeds the time imposed by the loading of the contents of a hopper into the oven, which not only disturbs the loading program, but in addition, is the cause of non-symmetrical loading, c that is, the height of the deposited layer is irregular in the circular direction of the loading surface. Other factors, such as the humidity level or the grain size of the loading material, can influence the flow rate.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a new method for operating the metering valve so as to ensure an almost uniform flow corresponding to the set flow.
- the method proposed by the present invention is characterized in that the metering flap is opened each time the actual flow is less than the set flow and in that it is maintained in position when the actual flow is higher than the set flow.
- the valve is opened at an amplitude AS which corresponds to the difference between the position of the valve corresponding to the set flow rate Q c and that corresponding to the actual flow Q ,.
- the actuation speed of the valve is proportional to the difference AS, that is to say if this difference AS is large, the valve is moved relatively quickly, whereas if this difference AS is weak, the valve is moved slowly.
- AS the difference between the two valves.
- Figure 1 shows, in bold lines, the curve representing the actual weight P ,, that is to say the measured weight while the curve in dashed lines represents the target weight P c which should allow a uniform flow of the loading material in the imposed time T.
- the gradient of these curves that is to say represents the flow rate which is constant for the curve P c .
- the horizontal evolution of the flow rate of each of the curves P, and P c represents the phase of opening of the metering valve.
- the reduction in weight of the hopper should be linear to ensure constant flow corresponding to the set flow Q c .
- the evolution of the two curves shows, from a certain moment, the difference between the weight and the material which is actually in the hopper and that of the material which should still be there to respect the constant flow Q c becomes larger and larger and the hopper will not be empty until well beyond the imposed time T.
- FIG. 4 shows the head of an oven 10 in which there is a chute 12 driven by a drive device 14 to rotate it around the axis of the oven and adjust its angle of discharge.
- a frame 16 carried by the oven 10 supports, via a series of load cells 20, a hopper 18. These load cells constantly provide information on the weight of the hopper 18 and, consequently, on its content.
- the flow orifice of this hopper 18 is controlled by a metering valve 22 which can be composed of two registers with symmetrical movement around the axis of the oven.
- This metering valve 22 is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder 24, while the actual position of the valve is constantly determined by a position detector 26.
- the hydraulic cylinder 24 controlling the position of the metering valve 22 is actuated by a hydraulic valve 28 with proportional action which receives the oil under pressure from a hydraulic unit 30.
- the control circuit also includes a computer 32 for carrying out the operations of calculation and memorizing all the necessary information. The information from this computer 32 is transmitted to a control unit 34 which controls the hydraulic valve 28 to regulate the oil flow, that is to say the operating speed of the hydraulic cylinder 24 and of the valve 22.
- the oil flow rate is adjusted by the valve 28 on the order of the control unit 34 as a function of the quantity AS, that is to say that the valve 28 is moved faster when AS is large, and conversely, is moved more and more slowly as AS decreases. It is even preferable to stop the valve when AS reaches a predetermined lower limit to be certain to avoid that the valve does not exceed its set position and possibly risk thus finding itself in the situation of FIG. 2.
