System and method for servo control of nonlinear electromagnetic actuators

Servo control using ferromagnetic core material and electrical windings is based on monitoring of winding currents and voltages and inference of magnetic flux, a force indication; and magnetic gap, a position indication. Third order nonlinear servo control is split into nested control loops: a fast nonlinear first-order inner loop causing flux to track a target by varying a voltage output; and a slower almost linear second-order outer loop causing magnetic gap to track a target by controlling the flux target of the inner loop. The inner loop uses efficient switching regulation, preferably based on controlled feedback instabilities, to control voltage output. The outer loop achieves damping and accurate convergence using proportional, time-integral, and time-derivative gain terms. The time-integral feedback may be based on measured and target solenoid drive currents, adjusting the magnetic gap for force balance at the target current. Incorporation of permanent magnet material permits the target current to be zero, achieving levitation with low power, including for a monorail deriving propulsion from the levitation magnets. Linear magnetic approximations lead to the simplest controller, but nonlinear analog computation in the log domain yields a better controller with relatively few parts. When servo-controlled solenoids provide actuation of a pump piston and valves, electronic LC resonance measurements determine liquid volume and gas bubble volume.

Banana picking device and picking method

The invention discloses a banana picking device, which comprises a rack, a cutter, clamping manipulator sliding blocks and a clamping manipulator opening and closing driving mechanism. A clamping manipulator comprises clamping rods. One ends of the clamping rods are hinged on the rack. The sliding blocks are slideably connected onto the clamping rods. The clamping manipulator opening and closing mechanism drives the clamping manipulator to open or close. The clamping manipulator opening and closing driving mechanism is hinged with the sliding blocks. The invention additionally discloses a banana picking method, which comprises the steps of propelling a walking trolley to a position under a banana tree; horizontally supporting the walking trolley through hydraulic supporting legs; lifting a scissor-type lifting mechanism to a position beside a banana fruit string; stretching the clamping manipulator to clamp a fruit stem; cutting off the fruit stem by using the cutter; after the fruit stem is cut off, lowering the scissor-type lifting mechanism; and after the scissor-type lifting mechanism is lowered down, restoring the clamping manipulator, taking down bananas and restoring the hydraulic supporting legs to complete the picking. The banana picking device and the banana picking method have the advantages that the problem that the clamping manipulator is difficult to open is solved, the clamping force lasts long, the clamping stability and reliability are high, the clamping manipulator can be opened and closed smoothly and sensitively, and the working efficiency is improved.

Single force strut for dual sided cargo box

Method and arrangement for providing and controlling operation of a dual sided opening roof mount cargo box (10) for a carrying vehicle. A dual sided opening roof mount cargo box (10) is provided and which has a lid portion (30) releasably hinge-connected at two lateral sides to a bottom portion (32) of the cargo box (10) for alternate pivotation at each of the two lateral sides between open and closed configurations. The bottom portion (32) is adapted to be mounted to a carrying vehicle and the lid portion (30) is manufactured from a semi-flexible material sufficiently pliable to permit two opposite end regions thereof to be at different relative distances from the bottom portion (32) of the cargo box (1) during transition between the open and closed configurations. A pair of spring-biased struts (50) are also provided, each operatively interposed between the lid portion (30) and the bottom portion (32) of the cargo box (10), and one each of the pair of spring-biased struts (50) being located at the two opposite end regions of the cargo box. An expansively directed force is imposed on the lid portion (30), utilizing the pair of spring-biased struts (50), across a substantial entirety of travel of the lid portion (30) during operator induced movement from the closed configuration to the open configuration and thereby assisting the operator to smoothly open the cargo box (10).

Proportional electromagnetic valve for electrically controlled high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system of diesel engine

The invention discloses a proportional electromagnetic valve for an electrically controlled high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system of a diesel engine and relates to an electromagnetic valve. A position at which a fixed iron core (8) and a movable iron core (3) of the electromagnetic valve attract each other is a conical polar plane. The fixed iron core (8), the movable iron core (3), a guide pipe (18), a spiral spring (15), an electromagnetic coil (4), a square iron core (19), a shell (14) and a valve body (1) jointly form the electromagnetic valve in an assembling way. When driving current is input into the electromagnetic coil, a magnetic field is generated through a magnetic path in the valve, electromagnetic force with magnitude which is in proportion with the magnitude of the driving current and is not related to a stroke is generated relative to the movable iron core, the movable iron core is enabled to overcome spring force to move, the movable iron core stops moving at a balance point of the two kinds of force and therefore is kept at a stable position, and the movable iron core can proportionally and continuously move according to the magnitude of the driving current to control the opening of the valve. Under complex working conditions under which the diesel engine works, the electromagnetic valve not only can stably control the on/off of a fuel path, but also can accurately and proportionally control the flow of the fuel path according to the driving current.
