Application of Flame Image Recognition-Based Information Fusion Technology to Roller Kiln Temperature Detection
Roller kiln is a kind of advanced fast sintering kiln. In production process of roller kiln, materials sintering of burning zone is the key working procedure which affects product quality directly. Hence, the temperature detection process of burning zone became the key link in roller kiln control system. This paper proposed a kind of fusion method of both temperature point detection and flame image recognition of imitating ‘artificial-look-fire’. Flame image processing-based temperature detection scheme was also given. In the scheme, expert system fuses temperature data detected by the thermocouple with flame image data of burning zone detected by CCD so as to obtain the actual temperature of burning zone. The method proposed greatly improves the temperature detection precision of burning zone working conditions. The experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective.
