ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER AND ITS APPLICATION IN FORCE SYSTEM OF ASYMMETRIC CYLINDER CONTROLLED BY SYMMETRIC VALVE

Partial pressure, system vibration and asymmetric system dynamic performance exit in asymmetric cylinder controller by symmetric valve hydraulic system. To solve this problem in the force control system, model reference adaptive controller is designed using equilibrium point stability theory and output error equation polynomial. The reference model is selected in such a way that it meets the system dynamic performance. Hardware configuration of asymmetric cylinder controlled by asymmetric valve hydraulic system is replaced by intelligent control algorithm, thus the cost is lowered and easy to application. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive control sheme has good adaptive ability and well solves asymmetric dynamic performance problem. The designed adaptive controller is fairly robust to load disturbance and system parameter variation.

Sliding Mode Control in Position Control for Asymmetrical Hydraulic Cylinder with Chambers Connected

In this paper, single, two-position, two-way proportional valve is used to carry out the positon control of asymmetrical hydraulic cylinder with two chambers connected. The system structure and the working princle are introduced. The dynamic model of the asymmetrical hydraulic cylinder system is established with power bond graphs method, and becomes a fundament for analyzing the system. Sliding mode controller is designed, and the stability of the control system is analyzed. The simulation results indicate that the sliding mode controller designed can actualize the position control of asymmetrical hydraulic cylinder system, and controller is superior to traditional PID controller when the load changes in some range.

Nonlinear Modeling of a High Precision Servo Injection Molding Machine Including Novel Molding Approach

A nonlinear mathematical model of the injection molding process for electrohydraulic servo injection molding machine (IMM) is developed.It was found necessary to consider the characteristics of asymmetric cylinder for electrohydraulic servo IMM.The model is based on the dynamics of the machine including servo valve,asymmetric cylinder and screw,and the non-Newtonian flow behavior of polymer melt in injection molding is also considered.The performance of the model was evaluated based on novel approach of molding - injection and compress molding,and the results of simulation and experimental data demonstrate the effectiveness of the model.

Force-controlled Compensation Scheme for P-Q Valve-controlled Asymmetric Cylinder used on Hydraulic Quadruped Robots

Under the requirement of the force controller of hydraulic quadruped robots,the goal of this work is to accurately track the force commands at the level of the hydraulic drive unit.The main contribution focuses on the development of a force-controlled compensation scheme,which is specifically aimed at the key issues affecting the hydraulic quadrupedal locomotion.With this idea,based on a P-Q valve-controlled asymmetric cylinder,we first establish a mathematical model for the hydraulic drive unit force control system.With the desired force commands,a force feed-forward algorithm is presented to improve the dynamic performance of the system.Meanwhile,we propose a disturbance compensation algorithm to reduce the influence induced by external disturbances due to foot-ground impacts.Afterwards,combining with a variable gain PI controller,a series of experiments are implemented on a force control performance test platform to verify the proposed scheme.The results demonstrate that the force-controlled compensation scheme has the ability to notably improve the force tracking accuracy,reduce the response time and redundant force.
