Abstract

We consider the problem of automated diagnostics of the state of the anode steel pin in Söderberg electrolytic cell with top current supply, which is the main current-supply element in metallurgical units. It is proposed to use digital cameras to contactlessly monitor the shape and dimensions of the working part of the anode post. The images of anode post sections taken in two mutually perpendicular planes allow evaluating the shape and size of the anode post. The possibility of using digital cameras with a resolution of 2 and 5 MP as recording devices is considered. The components of the error of the system for monitoring current-carrying rods located outside the electrolysis shop, in the rod-cleaning area, have been identified. Main attention is paid to analyzing instrumental errors of the system. Possible configurations of the monitoring system are examined, and a method is described for compensating for the main component of the error in nontelecentric optical systems, the positioning error.

评估带有自焙阳极的电解池中阳极阳极几何形状监测系统的误差

摘要

我们考虑自动诊断带有最大电流的Söderberg电解池中阳极钢钉状态的问题，这是冶金设备中的主要供电元件。提出使用数码相机来非接触地监视阳极柱的工作部分的形状和尺寸。在两个相互垂直的平面中拍摄的阳极柱截面图像可以评估阳极柱的形状和尺寸。考虑使用2和5 MP分辨率的数码相机作为记录设备的可能性。已经确定了位于棒清洁区域中位于电解车间外部的载流棒的监控系统的错误组件。主要关注于分析系统的仪器误差。
