The invention relates to a device for controlling the electric arc furnace installation.

Electric arc furnaces are often used in the steel industry, for example, for melting scrap or sponge iron in an electric arc furnace can melt other metals. The EAF is based on the conversion of electric energy into heat energy, and uses the principle of the electric arc. This produces power up to 200 MW.

Arc furnace can be performed as an oven DC (usually with one electrode) or as an oven three-phase current (typically with three electrodes).

Installation of steel can also include several electric arc furnaces. For example, often the actual electric arc furnace, in which melting, should the oven with built-in cream (bottling bucket), which is also designed as an electric arc furnace. Bottling bucket is a transport tank, which is filled with liquid metal from the electric arc furnace. In a furnace with a pouring ladle is entered, for example, additives that improve the quality or there is additional processing.

Automating the installation of an electric arc furnace requires consideration of many functions. For example, you can specify the furnace control to control the main functions of the furnace, regulation of electrodes, which establishes the final length and power of the electric arc, and management of the melt. For all of these functions must be provided by the respective automation device. These automation device must implement the installation of an electric arc furnace every time-consuming tested in pair and the perfect interplay and consistent with each other. The associated costs of hardware is relatively high and there are high costs for installation and commissioning, as it is necessary to install multiple automation devices with their own distribution cabinets.

Therefore, the object of the invention is a device to control the installation of an electric arc furnace, which is improved in view of the foregoing.

To solve this problem in a device of the aforementioned type in accordance with the invention provided that the functional unit for oven control, function block to control electrodes and the functional block for control of the heat-integrated control device.

This means that for oven control, control electrodes and control of the heat, due to the preferred integration now requires only one control device is AutoRAE centrally implements management. Consuming negotiation mates and complicated setup different way of existing software tools are now no longer required. The cost of hardware is reduced, and reduced costs for installation and commissioning.

Regulation of the electrodes is performed at the same time to control the shape and position of the electric arc. This includes, for example, regulation, at least one hydraulically moveable electrode, and setting the distance to the molten metal.

Through oven control is managing the overall functions of an electric arc furnace. They cover, for example, hydraulically floating roof of the furnace, unloading the furnace, for example, when obtaining a resulting slag releasing molten metal, and cooling the furnace. This also includes a measuring device, as well as carrying out of control actions via remote control, with which staff can influence the mode of operation of the furnace.

The control fuse is, ultimately, control of the process. Here, for example, control how much energy is required at a particular point in time, to melt the current amount of material. This also determines when, for example, should the and be entered Supplement.

In another preferred embodiment, in the control device can be integrated, at least one additional functional unit. Such additional functional blocks may, for example, to constitute a functional unit for energy optimization, and/or functional unit to recognize the foamy slag and regulation, and/or functional block for process optimization, and/or functional unit for regulating the supply of energy in the definitions of the energy provider, and/or the functional unit for the individual consumer control. In the ideal case, all these components are integrated into a single automatic control device, so you only need one control device. Then there is no need for all other control devices.

Function block for the optimization of energy may, in particular, to manage the optimization of energy through the neural network. By means of such artificial intelligence is possible to optimize the energy consumption, quality and other production parameters.

Foamy slag means the layer of slag, which floats on the molten metal and purposefully formed so that the heat did not reach the walls of the furnace, and was absorbed in the foam. For the formation of fines which the slag may for example, be made of carbon. At the same time the height of the foamed slag is determined, for example, the detector structure-borne noise in the metal reservoir furnace. These components correspond to the functional block foamy slag and regulation of foamy slag.

Function block for the optimization process may, for example, to include the computer model, which enables optimization of the process also in the sense of a higher level. For example, the liquid metal can be routed directly to the installation of continuous casting, which specifies the data regarding the quantity of material being processed.

Regulation of the energy supply in determining the energy supplier may be required if, for example, provided the maximum number of pickup at a certain time. Through the appropriate functional unit is regulated, where, for example, energy can be saved, what the unit is currently able to disconnect, etc.

In addition, the control device can be integrated functional unit for the individual consumer regulation. One such functional unit includes the parameters set individually for the consumer, which individualiziruyut system as a whole. But it is also possible that each is e functional blocks thus formed, they can easily be reconciled with the needs of the consumer, so that individualization can take place on other integrated functional blocks.

Preferably, the device may include a mounting block which contains functional units, in particular in the nests. Similarly, the mounting block may represent, for example, distribution Cabinet, which houses a control device, which typically includes a computing device.

In another preferred implementation of the functional blocks made modular, can be made replaceable or removable. Thus is described a modular structure, which can be aligned arbitrarily. In accordance with this individual function blocks can be added or removed to the scope of functions of the device to agree to meet individual needs. Also a simple method can be implemented replacement of the defective functional units. Moreover, you can easily replace legacy functional blocks, for example, newly developed functional blocks, so that the device to control the installation of an electric arc furnace is always up to date.

With this modular implementation of the functional blocks can be implemented, Nikon is C, two possibilities how to implement the configuration, and whether it should be done. First of all, it can be provided that the control device is made with the possibility of automatic recognition and configuration of the functional block. The newly introduced functional block in accordance with this performs information exchange with the control device, thereby automatically configuring. This functional unit are associated with respective ranges of performance, such as processors, memory, etc.

However, alternatively it is also possible that there are slots for functional blocks, and each nest is set in accordance with a continuous range of performance contained in the control device of a computing device. When this is no longer possible no special configuration, so as to each slot and, thus, with the inserted functional block that has already been mapped ranges of performance, that is, for example, processor power, memory, software, etc. this system is less complex, but less flexible.

The preferred way function blocks can be configured individually. Then may not the a similar agreement with the needs of the customer.

For information exchange with the control device or contained in the computing device functional blocks can be connected to the system bus. For this purpose, any suitable known types of bus systems that meet the specified criteria for performance.

In the preferred implementation can be provided that at least two functional blocks are integrated into a single functional unit. So, for example, to control electrodes and energy optimization provides a single functional unit. This is always possible in this case, when the performance criteria functional block allow the application of several of these functionalities. This saves the nest, and implemented a more compact structure.

Other advantages and details of the proposed invention follow from the following exemplary embodiment and the drawing.

While the drawing shows a corresponding to the invention the device 1 to control the installation of an electric arc furnace.

It includes a mounting block in the form of the switchgear Cabinet 2, in which is placed an automatic control device 3. Automatic control device 3 includes a computing device 4, which may contain one or more storage device the century Additionally, there are many nests 5, some of which are occupied by the functional blocks 6-13 module type. Functional blocks 6-13 are removable, in particular interchangeable. Socket 5 and they are connected with the system 14 of the bus that connects them with the computing device 4. Functional blocks 6-13 are individually configurable, so that they can be governed in accordance with the specific needs of the user.

In this example, with each slot 5 correlated appropriate range of performance, so no further configuration after insertion of the functional unit is not required. Alternatively, it is also possible that the control device 3 can be performed with automatic recognition and configuration of functional blocks.

In particular, it provides a functional block 6 for oven control, function block 7 to the control electrodes, the functional block 8 for control of the heat, the functional block 9 for energy optimization, the functional block 10 for recognition foamy slag and regulation of foamy slag, the functional block 11 for process optimization, functional unit 12 for regulating the supply of energy in determining the energy supplier and the functional block DS for individual user control. Except for the necessary functional blocks 6-8 for oven control, regulation of electrodes and control of the heat, other functional blocks 9-13 are optional, which means that they do not necessarily have to be for a working device to control the installation of an electric arc furnace, or may be available, under certain circumstances, in the form of other automated functional blocks. Based on the modular nature can easily be further equipped with additional functional blocks, as well as other functional blocks 9-13 can be removed. Also need an integrated functional blocks 6-8 may, for example, when the defect or replace the new model, to be replaced without any problems.

In particular, it is also possible that two functional blocks are integrated into one functional block. For example, it would be possible functional unit 7 to the control electrodes and the functional block 9 for energy optimization combined into one functional block. Functional blocks 7 and 9 would then be removed and replaced with a new functional unit. Due to this, fewer functional blocks.

In General, using the device to control the installation of an electric arc furnace by means of the integrated resh is the which is arranged to control the installation of an electric arc furnace, while maintaining simplicity of design and maintenance. By embedding in only one Cabinet reduced the cost of manufacturing, installation and commissioning.

In particular, in a plant for the processing of metal, along with the actual electric arc furnace, for melting may also be provided, for example, a furnace with a pouring ladle as other electric arc furnace. Like another installation of an electric arc furnace can be controlled by the same device 1, and should be used accordingly modified parameterization.
