This exhaust gas is sent to the exhaust heat recovery boiler 8 provided in the upper part of the stoker furnace 1.

The exhaust heat recovery boiler 8 heats water by exchanging heat between the exhaust gas and water to generate steam. This steam is used in an external device (not shown). The exhaust gas that has passed through the exhaust heat recovery boiler 8 is cooled by the heat reducing tower 9 and then sent to the dust collector 11. After the soot and dust are removed by the dust collector 11, the exhaust gas is released into the atmosphere through the chimney 12.

Next, the configuration of the stoker furnace 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the stoker furnace 1 includes a furnace body 10, a fire pot 7 extending upward from the furnace body 10, a hopper 3 for temporarily storing an incinerator 400, and a hopper 3 into the furnace body 10.

Examples of the camera 220 include a camera having a visible camera and a far-infrared camera.

The measuring unit 230 is a device for measuring the steam flow rate and the oxygen concentration in the processing space V. The incinerator 400 is dried in the drying stage 21, and steam is generated because the moisture evaporates.

Specifically, the point identification unit 320 identifies the burnout point Z by the following operation.

The point identification unit 320 receives the processed image acquired by the acquisition unit 310. After that, the point identification unit 320 binarizes with a preset threshold value based on the brightness of the processed image. The point identification unit 320 identifies the burnout point Z by using the average value of the points at which the values of the binarized processed image change. The brightness of the image relating to the place where the flame F is generated by the combustion of the incinerator 400 is high, and the brightness of the image relating to the place where the flame F is not generated is low. Therefore, the point identification unit 320 can specify the burnout point Z by binarization as described above.

The first speed calculation unit 330 is a correction value of the speed of each grate 61 of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23, based on the burnout point Z specified by the point identification unit 320. 1 Calculate the speed correction value. Specifically, the first speed calculation unit 330 calculates the first speed correction value by the following operations.

The first speed calculation unit 330 acquires the burnout point Z specified by the point identification unit 320. After that, the first speed calculation unit 330 calculates the difference between the reference burnout point associated with the drying stage 21 and the burnout point Z, and calculates the difference by PID (Proportional-Integral-Differentail). The first velocity correction value associated with the drying stage 21 is calculated.

Further, the reference burn-out point is a point set in advance in each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23 so that the incinerator 400 is stably dried, burned, and post-combusted. is there. An example of the reference burn-out point is a burn-out point set so that the ratio of the unburned portion of the incinerator 400 becomes a specific value.

The first air amount calculation unit 340 corrects the amount of air supplied by the air box 2 to each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23 based on the burnout point Z specified by the point identification unit 320. The first air amount correction value, which is a value, is calculated. Specifically, the first air amount calculation unit 340 calculates the first air amount correction value by the following operations.

The first air amount calculation unit 340 acquires the burnout point Z specified by the point identification unit 320. After that, the difference between the reference burnout point associated with the drying stage 21 and the burnout point Z is calculated, the difference is PID calculated, and the first air amount correction value associated with the drying stage 21 is calculated. To do. The first air amount calculation unit 340 also operates the combustion stage 22 and the post-combustion stage 23 as described above, and is associated with the first air amount correction value associated with the combustion stage 22 and the post-combustion stage 23. The first air amount correction value and the calculation are performed. The difference between the reference burnout point and the burnout point Z becomes a positive value when the burnout point Z is located upstream of the reference burnout point. The position of the reference burn-out point is different in each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23. The position of the reference burn-out point of the drying stage 21 is located most upstream of the transport direction + Da, and the position of the reference burn-off point of the post-combustion stage 23 is located most downstream of the transport direction + Da.

The flow rate concentration calculation unit 350 calculates the basic correction value based on the steam flow rate and the oxygen concentration acquired by the measurement unit 230. Specifically, the flow rate concentration calculation unit 350 calculates the basic correction value by the following operation.

The flow rate concentration calculation unit 350 divides the acquired steam flow rate from the reference steam flow rate to calculate the difference. The flow rate concentration calculation unit 350 calculates the steam flow rate correction value by multiplying the above difference by the weight associated with the steam flow rate. Further, the flow rate concentration calculation unit 350 divides the acquired oxygen concentration from the reference oxygen concentration to calculate the difference. The flow rate concentration calculation unit 350 calculates the oxygen concentration correction value by multiplying the above difference by the weight associated with the oxygen concentration. The flow rate concentration calculation unit 350 adds the steam flow rate correction value and the oxygen concentration correction value to calculate the basic correction value.

The speed control unit 360 controls the speed of each grate 61 of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23 based on the first speed correction value calculated by the first speed calculation unit 330. Specifically, the speed control unit 360 controls the speed of the grate 61 by the following operations.

The speed control unit 360 acquires the first speed correction value associated with the drying stage 21 among the first speed correction values calculated by the first speed calculation unit 330. When the first speed correction value associated with the drying stage 21 is equal to or less than a preset lower limit value, the speed control unit 360 uses the lower limit value as the first speed correction value. Further, when the first speed correction value associated with the drying stage 21 is equal to or higher than a preset upper limit value, the speed control unit 360 uses the upper limit value as the first speed correction value. Here, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first speed correction value are both positive values. Therefore, when the burnout point Z is located on the downstream side of the reference burnout point, the first speed correction value becomes equal to the lower limit value. This is because the difference between the reference burnout point and the burnout point Z becomes a negative value when the burnout point Z is located on the downstream side of the reference burnout point. That is, the first speed correction value is a value for promoting the movement of the burnout point Z to the downstream side when the burnout point Z exists on the upstream side beyond the reference position.

After that, the speed control unit 360 adds the first speed correction value to the basic grate speed associated with the drying stage 21, and calculates the corrected speed associated with the drying stage 21. The speed control unit 360 sends an electric signal to the actuator of the movable grate 61B of the drying stage 21 so that the movable grate 61B can move at the corrected speed. The movable grate 61B that has received the electric signal moves at the corrected speed.
The speed control unit 360 also performs the same operation as described above for the grate 61 of the combustion stage 22 and the grate 61 of the post-combustion stage 23.

In the air amount control unit 370, the air box 2 has a drying stage 21 and a combustion stage 22 based on the first air amount correction value calculated by the first air amount calculation unit 340 and the basic correction value calculated by the flow rate concentration calculation unit 350. , And the amount of air supplied to each of the post-combustion stages 23 is controlled. Specifically, the air amount control unit 370 controls the air box 2 by the following operations.

The air amount control unit 370 acquires the first air amount correction value associated with the drying stage 21 among the first air amount correction values calculated by the first air amount calculation unit 340. When the first air amount correction value associated with the drying stage 21 is equal to or less than a preset lower limit value, the air amount control unit 370 uses the lower limit value as the first air amount correction value. Further, the air amount control unit 370 causes the air amount control unit 370 to set the upper limit value when the first air amount correction value associated with the drying stage 21 is equal to or more than a preset upper limit value. Used as a quantity correction value.
Here, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first air amount correction value are both positive values. Therefore, when the burnout point Z is located on the downstream side of the reference burnout point, the first air amount correction value becomes equal to the lower limit value. This is because the difference between the reference burnout point and the burnout point Z becomes a negative value when the burnout point Z is located on the downstream side of the reference burnout point. That is, the first air amount correction value is a value for promoting the movement of the burnout point Z to the downstream side when the burnout point Z exists on the upstream side beyond the reference position.

After that, the air amount control unit 370 acquires the basic correction value calculated by the flow rate concentration calculation unit 350. The air amount control unit 370 calculates the corrected air amount calculated by adding the first air amount correction value associated with the drying stage 21 and the basic correction value. The air amount control unit 370 sends an electric signal to the air box 2 of the drying stage 21 so that the amount of air supplied by the air box 2 to the drying stage 21 becomes the corrected air amount. The air box 2 that receives the electric signal changes the opening degree of the damper provided in the air box 2 so that the amount of air supplied by the air box 2 to the drying stage 21 becomes the corrected air amount.
The air amount control unit 370 also performs the same operation as described above for the air box 2 of the combustion stage 22 and the air box 2 of the post-combustion stage 23.

Is calculated, the difference is PID-calculated, and the first speed correction value associated with each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23 is calculated (step S2).

The speed control unit 360 acquires the first speed correction value associated with each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23 (step S3).
In the speed control unit 360, the first speed correction value associated with each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23 is the upper limit associated with each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23. When it is equal to or more than the value (step S4: YES), the upper limit value is used as the first speed correction value (step S6).
Further, in the speed control unit 360, the first speed correction value associated with each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23 is associated with each of the drying stage 21, the combustion stage 22, and the post-combustion stage 23. If it is equal to or less than the lower limit value (step S5: YES), the lower limit value is used as the first speed correction value (step S7).

After that, the speed control unit 360 determines the first speed correction value based on the upper and lower limit limits, and transmits a signal to the movable grate 61B based on the first speed correction value and the reference grate speed. Then, the movable grate 61B is moved to the corrected speed.

By the above operation, the user of the combustion equipment 100 can control the speed of the grate 61 based on the specified burnout point Z, so that the incinerator 400 is stably dried in the combustion equipment 100. It can be burned and then burned. When the position of the burnout point Z is close to the drying stage 21, the proportion of the unburned portion of the incinerator 400 decreases, so that the amount of the incinerator 400 processed by the combustion equipment 100 per unit time is small. Therefore, the efficiency of the combustion equipment 100 is reduced. Further, when the position of the burnout point Z is close to the cleaner roller 210, the ratio of the unburned portion of the incinerator 400 increases, so that it becomes difficult to reclaim the incinerator 400 after the post-combustion.

Therefore, in the control device 300 according to the present embodiment, when the position of the burnout point Z is close to the drying stage 21, the speed of the grate 61 is reduced to activate the stirring of the incinerator 400 to activate the unburned portion. When the burnout point Z is close to the clinic roller 210, the speed of the grate 61 is increased to increase the agitation of the incinerator 400, and the ratio of the unburned portion is decreased.

Here, the upper limit value of the second speed correction value is a positive value, and the lower limit value is a negative value. Therefore, the second speed control unit promotes the movement of the incinerator so that the load increases when the load is lower than the reference, that is, when the combustion state is the low load state, and when the load is higher than the reference, That is, when the combustion state is an overload state, the movement of the incinerator is promoted so that the load is reduced.

After that, the second air amount control unit 384 acquires the basic correction value calculated by the flow rate concentration calculation unit 350. The second air amount control unit 384 calculates the second corrected air amount calculated by adding the second air amount correction value associated with the drying stage 21 and the basic correction value. The second air amount control unit 384 sends an electric signal to the air box 2 of the drying stage 21 so that the amount of air supplied by the air box 2 to the drying stage 21 is the amount of air after the second correction.
