  • the heat flow ratio distribution, thickness ratio of burden material layers distribution and gas flow rate distribution of respective temperature-measuring device regions in the radial direction of blast furnace throat within these five time periods were respectively calculated, and the changes of respective parameters before and after each change of the burden distribution matrix were compared. It is found that, the direction of each change of the burden distribution matrix is consistent with the direction of the distribution change of the ore layer thickness ratio calculated, and changes in the gas flow distribution and the temperature distribution accordingly are also the same as expected.
  • Figure 7 shows the change of respective parameters from Case 1 to Case 2 according to the present application.
  • the operator changes the burden distribution matrix from C 33222212 109876531 O 14443 98765 to C 23222222 109876543 O 24443 98765 , wherein for C b a , C is the charge item of coke in the burden distribution matrix, a is the charging position, and b is the number of turns; for O b a , O is the charge item of ore in the burden distribution matrix, a is the charging position and b is the number of turns.
  • Charging position 10 is close to the furnace wall, charging position 1 is the center of blast furnace, charging position 9 at an edge of the ore is changed from one turn to two turns. It can be inferred that, the ore layer thickness ratio at the edge increases and the gas flow rate at the edge decreases, which are consistent with the directions of distribution change of the calculated ore layer thickness ratio X i and the calculated gas flow rate u i .
  • FIG 8 shows the change of respective parameters from Case 2 to Case 3 according to the present application.
  • M40 is decreased significantly, the slag ratio is increased rapidly, the operator changes the burden distribution matrix from C 23222222 109876543 O 24443 98765 to C 3222222 10987654 O 24443 98765 , 2 turns of coke is removed from the charging position 3. It can be inferred that, the coke in the corresponding middle part is increased and the layer thickness ratio of the ore is decreased, which are consistent with the change of the distribution of the calculated ore layer thickness ratio x i .
  • FIG. 9 shows the change of respective parameters from Case 3 to Case 4 according to the present application.
  • the operator changes the burden distribution matrix from C 3222222 10987654 O 24443 98765 to C 2222222 10987654 O 2233332 10987654 , charging position 10 and charging position 4 of the ore are each provided with two turns. It can be inferred that, the ore layer thickness ratios of the center part and the center part are increased and the ore layer thickness ratio of the middle part is reduced, which are basically consistent with the calculated results.
  • Figure 10 shows the change of respective parameters from Case 3 to Case 4 according to the present application.
  • the operator changes the burden distribution matrix from C 2222222 10987654 O 2233332 10987654 to C 2233322 10987654 O 3233332 10987654 , 3233332 , the intermediate charging positions "6", "7" and "8" of coke change from being provided with two turns to three turns.
  • the ore layer thickness ratio at the corresponding middle part is reduced, which is consistent with the calculated result.
  • charging position 10 of the ore changes from being provided with two turns to three turns, the ore layer thickness ratio at the corresponding edge is inferred to be increased, which is consistent with the calculated result.
