Hydraulic cylinder control of injection molding machine based on differential evolution fractional order PID

Injection molding machine,hydraulic elevator,speed actuators belong to variable speed pump control cylinder system.Because variable speed pump control cylinder system is a nonlinear hydraulic system,it has some problems such as response lag and poor steady-state accuracy.To solve these problems,for the hydraulic cylinder of injection molding machine driven by the servo motor,a fractional order proportion-integration-diferentiation(FOPID)control strategy is proposed to realize the speed tracking control.Combined with the adaptive differential evolution algorithm,FOPID control strategy is used to determine the parameters of controller on line based on the test on the servo-motor-driven gear-pump-controlled hydraulic cylinder injection molding machine.Then the slef-adaptive differential evolution fractional order PID controller(SADE-FOPID)model of variable speed pump-controlled hydraulic cylinder is established in the test system with simulated loading.The simulation results show that compared with the classical PID control,the FOPID has better steady-state accuracy and fast response when the control parameters are optimized by the adaptive differential evolution algorithm.Experimental results show that SADE-FOPID control strategy is effective and feasible,and has good anti-load disturbance performance.

IMPROVE THE KINETIC PERFORMANCE OF THE PUMP CONTROLLED CLAMPING UNIT IN PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE WITH ADAPTIVE CONTROL STRATEGY

The kinetic characteristics of the clamping unit of plastic injection molding machine that is controlled by close loop with newly developed double speed variable pump unit are investigated. Considering the wide variation of the cylinder equivalent mass caused by the transmission ratio of clamping unit and the severe instantaneous impact force acted on the cylinder during the mold closing and opening process, an adaptive control principle of parameter and structure is proposed to improve its kinetic performance. The adaptive correlation between the acceleration feedback gain and the variable mass is derived. The pressure differential feedback is introduced to improve the dynamic performance in the case of small inertia and heavy impact load. The adaptation of sum pressure to load is used to reduce the energy loss of the system. The research results are verified by the simulation and experiment, The investigation method and the conclusions are also suitable for the differential cylinder system controlled by the traditional servo pump unit.

Effect of flow control mold on flow field during high-speed continuous casting

An experimental mold was built to study the flow in a flow control mold under high speed continuous casting. The effect of the magnetic field on the flow was investigated using mercury. The results show that the magnetic field can not only dampen the flow of liquid metal but also change its direction, and then redistribute the flow in the mold. When maintaining a constant distance between magnets, the fluctuation of the free surface is dampened because of the increasing magnetic flux density. The flow at the free surface is improved, and the penetration depth of the downward stream is reduced. The decrease in the dis- tance between magnets promotes the brake effect and the flow is dampened in the upper eddy.

The Effect of Slab FC-Mold Technology on Fluctuations of Liquid Steel

The application for FC-Mold(Flow Control Mold)technology is researched in Ansteel slab caster,and the fluctuations of liquid steel in different parameters are emphasis researched.The results show that the fluctuation of liquid steel can be decreased 50%by using FC-Mold,and the value is decreased from±5mm to±2mm.The casting velocity can be increased 0.5m/min by using FC-Mold.The effect of FC-Mold is increased with increasing of current.And FC-Mold can restrain the unstable liquid steel from velocity changing.The statistic application results for 610 strands show that the degraded ratio for automobile steel is decreased 6%.
