Since the operation of the air supply and energy-saving regulation system, it has realized the intelligent interval air blowing of the medium bucket according to the set time after the shutdown, and the automatic start-up, stop, loading and unloading of the air compressor according to the pressure of the site air consumption point. On the premise of meeting the normal start-up conditions of the coal preparation plant, the intelligent air blowing system has realized the automatic coordination of each link. According to statistics, the average daily power consumption per ton of coal of six 250 kW air compressors decreased from 0.35 kW · h to 0.17 kW · h, a decrease of about 51%. The energy-saving regulation module for wind power supply greatly reduces the wear and tear of equipment, saves electric energy, and realizes the unattended control of the system.

(3) Concentrate and add medicine. Since the concentration and dosing module was put into use, it has realized the monitoring of the running state of the flocculant adding device, the feed concentration of the thickener, the moving end of the clarifier height of the thickener, and the automatic adjustment of the dispensing concentration and dosing amount. After the intelligent concentration and dosing system was put into operation, the dry slime consumption decreased from 64.95 g/t to 56.12 g/t, with a decrease of 13.6%. At the same time, the consumption of chemicals is reduced.

(4) Intelligent start stop. A coal preparation plant intelligent start-up and stop with system start / stop self-test, system start / stop fault automatic response, background start-up and stop sequence flexible configuration and other functions. In addition, under the protection of start-up power limit, the reverse coal flow sequence can be broken to realize synchronous start-up of multiple systems. The on-site workers can also use the handheld mobile terminal to check the start-up and stop process in real time. Compared with the traditional start-up mode, the start-up time is reduced from 40 min to less than 15 min, and the power consumption of a single start-up is reduced by about 3500 kW·h; the stop time is reduced from 30 min to 20 min, and the power consumption of a single stop is reduced by about 1500 kW·h. Intelligent start-up and stop can shorten the idle time of the equipment, reduce the invalid wear of the equipment, and greatly improve the comprehensive efficiency of the equipment.

Mobile and Transparent Production Management

(1) Mobile intelligent information platform application. Mobile terminal intelligent information platform is to use smart phones to transmit information through Wan, which is suitable for mobile production management of management personnel, post personnel, maintenance and inspection personnel. The subscription module in Zhixin can set the corresponding permissions according to the role and independently subscribe to the concerned information. Managers can obtain all kinds of production and management data in time to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of information transmission. The mobile terminal intelligent information platform can also be used for work order management of maintenance and spot inspection personnel, with the characteristics of material application, saving hardware investment, efficient and convenient information transmission, etc.

(2) Production mobile monitoring. The production area of a coal preparation plant is covered by wireless network, and the on-site personnel are equipped with hand-held mobile terminal, which realizes the information monitoring and operation control of the whole plant equipment. After the mobile monitoring system goes online, the frequency of communication between post and dispatcher to obtain production information is greatly reduced, and the real-time sharing of production data is realized.

(3) Coal quality management. Based on the traditional coal quality test process of coal preparation plant, the coal quality test system connects the electronic balance and other test equipment to the Internet of things, and realizes the functions of automatic reading of original test data, calculation and confirmation of test results, automatic generation of coal quality report, query of historical test data, etc.

(4) Energy management. Energy management realizes the real-time statistical function of energy consumption data by accessing the consumption data of power, flocculant, medium and antifreeze. Electric power data can real-time statistics of electricity meter data or electricity consumption per ton of coal in the whole plant, automatically generate daily and monthly consumption reports, and export excel reports; flocculant, medium and antifreeze statistics can automatically obtain system data, real-time generate monthly reports of each shift, from the original manual tabulation to real-time report, reducing the workload of tabulation.

Online and Accurate Quality Regulation

Aiming at the three core separation links of dense medium cyclone separation, coarse slime TCS separation and flotation, combined with the production data collected by each system, the intelligent system of coal preparation plant of B coal mine establishes the algorithm model of product quality control by using the professional knowledge of coal preparation, analyzes and adjusts the separation parameters of each system automatically, and stabilizes the quality of clean coal products.

B coal preparation plant has added X-ray ash analyzer on the belt conveyor of clean coal to monitor the ash content of dense medium clean coal online and in real time, intelligently adjust the density of dense medium separation, ensure the maximum recovery of clean coal resources, stabilize the product quality, improve the yield of clean coal by 0.5%, simplify the post employment by 3 people, and achieve an annual comprehensive efficiency of 6 million yuan.

In the flotation process, the pulp ash meter is used to automatically push the test data every 10 minutes (the push time has multiple gears to be set), and linkage with the data. According to the flotation feeding situation and the flotation clean coal ash, the whole process of dosing and dosing is automatically completed, which realizes the remote intelligent control, greatly improves the flotation effect, and makes the calorific value of the tail coal slime increase from 7.53% MJ / kg is reduced to 6.7MJ/kg, clean coal yield is increased by 0.3 percentage points, and chemical consumption per ton of coal is reduced from 0.43 kg to 0.41 kg, which reduces the cost of chemical consumption for coal preparation plant and creates considerable economic benefits.

188 on-line monitoring sensors are installed on the high-power key equipment in coal preparation plant of a coal mine to monitor the bearing vibration and temperature of belt conveyor, scraper conveyor, water pump and vibrating screen on-line, so as to alarm in time when problems occur. The trend of online monitoring vibration acceleration of desliming screen is shown in Figure 2. Taking 1331 desliming screen as an example, the acceleration value of non motor side vibration exciter was always at 5m/s2 from September 9 to November 25, 2019, and began to rise on November 26. Before replacement on December 14, the acceleration value increased to 62.245m/s2, and the vibration acceleration increased by about 12.5 times in 19 days, indicating that the performance of vibration exciter decreased sharply during this period. Through on-line monitoring of the equipment status, the fault early warning judgment was made in time, and the exciter was replaced in time by using the downtime, so as to avoid the occurrence of production accidents.

A coal preparation plant adopts intelligent on-line monitoring system instead of traditional manual spot check, which greatly improves the efficiency of fault diagnosis and realizes the pre analysis of equipment potential faults. Through the collection and analysis of equipment vibration data, the online monitoring system can timely and accurately judge the health status of the equipment, and point out the damaged parts and degree when it fails, which helps to reduce or even avoid unplanned parking, reduce maintenance costs, and play an important role in ensuring efficient and orderly production.
