Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of servo control and relates to a mechanism output torque control method based on an electromechanical actuator. Background Art

[0002] Based on the mechanism of electromechanical actuator for torque output, the output torque is usually measured directly as a feedback signal to correct the output force of the actuator. When the output torque cannot be measured directly due to certain factors, a semi-closed loop method is required, that is, by detecting the force signal of the transmission link, the output torque is indirectly detected, and compared with the input original command torque value, and the difference after comparison is used for control.

[0003] In the prior art, the semi-closed loop torque control of the electromechanical actuator is usually based on the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the transmission mechanism itself, and is realized by calculating the analytical solution. Specifically involved is the patent: hydraulic rocker arm loading device and loading method thereof, CN106840723, the invention is equipped with a tension and pressure sensor at one end of the hydraulic linear actuator, the advantage is that it can realize the real-time tracking loading of the torque according to the action form of the servo connected to the rocker arm, the disadvantage is that the torque loaded by this method is calculated by the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the designed triangular rocker arm, but when the actual shape and size of the triangular rocker arm are different from the design, such as when there are errors in processing and assembly, the torque actually output by the loading device will also have a large error with the target, affecting the accuracy of the torque loading, and can only output a fixed extension or retraction torque to the triangular rocker arm by judging whether the tension or pressure sensor is subjected to tension or pressure, and cannot output a real-time, arbitrary torque to the rocker arm. The patented six-bar knee joint with knee torque control device, CN 1150868, controls the size of the friction torque by controlling the position of the friction cone in the knee joint torque control device. The advantage is that the torque control can be performed without relying on sensors, and the structure is compact and flexible. The disadvantage is that this torque control method is completely open-loop, and the current output torque cannot be calculated directly or indirectly through the sensor, so it is impossible to output a given torque, let alone a specific torque curve. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present invention is: to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, to propose a method for controlling the output torque of a mechanism based on an electromechanical actuator, to achieve indirect detection of the load torque by fitting a fifth-order polynomial model, and to solve the problem of accurately controlling the output torque when there is no torque feedback.

Figure 2 shown.

[0066] Step 2: Drive the transmission mechanism end 8 through the electromechanical actuator 3 to complete a complete motion process; measure the actuation distance of the electromechanical actuator push rod 4 and the angle of the transmission mechanism end 8 relative to the horizontal direction during the entire motion process, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0067] The actuation distance of the electromechanical actuator push rod 4 is calculated by the lead of the lead screw of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the motor rotation angle; the angle of the transmission mechanism end 8 relative to the horizontal direction is measured by an external inclination sensor installed at the transmission mechanism end 8.

[0068] Step 3: calibrate the relationship between the actuation distance of the electromechanical actuator push rod 4 and the angle of the transmission mechanism end 8 relative to the horizontal direction during the entire movement process.

[0069] The relationship between the actuation distance of the electromechanical actuator push rod 4 and the angle of the transmission mechanism end 8 relative to the horizontal direction during the entire movement process is:

[0070] q=c5x 5 +c4x 4 +c3x 3 +c2x 2 +c1x+c0

[0071] Where q is the angle of the transmission mechanism end 8 relative to the horizontal direction;

[0072] x is the actuation distance of the electromechanical actuator push rod 4;

[0073] c0, c1, c2, c3, c4, and c5 are the unknown coefficients of the quintic polynomial respectively;

[0074] Assume x1, x2...x n is the actuation distance of n sets of electromechanical actuators 3 push rods, q1, q2...q n is the angle of the end of the 5 transmission mechanism corresponding to n groups relative to the horizontal direction. The unknown coefficients of the quintic polynomial are calculated by the Vandermonde matrix polynomial fitting method, which is specifically expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] Thereby, a clear relationship between the actuation distance of the electromechanical actuator push rod 4 and the angle relative to the horizontal direction during the entire movement process of the transmission mechanism end 8 is obtained.

[0079] The torque data of the transmission mechanism end 8 is obtained by hanging a weight with a standard mass m at the transmission mechanism end 8 and calculating the gravity torque τ of the weight; assuming g is the gravity acceleration constant, l is the actual length from the transmission mechanism end 8 to the transmission mechanism end rotation center 7 obtained by measurement, then the calculation method of the transmission mechanism end 8 torque τ is:

[0080] τ=mglcos(q)

[0081] The actual length of the center of rotation of the transmission mechanism end 8 to 7 is measured by a vernier caliper.

[0082] Step 5: Calibrate the relationship between the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3 in step 4 and the torque of the corresponding transmission mechanism end 8.

[0083] The method for calibrating the relationship between the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the torque of the corresponding transmission mechanism end 8 is:

[0084] The relationship between the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the torque of the transmission mechanism end 8 corresponding to the thrust is obtained by taking the derivative of both sides of the fifth-order polynomial equation with known coefficients obtained in step 3 with respect to time:

[0085]

[0086] Assuming η is the transmission efficiency of the transmission mechanism, according to the law of conservation of energy, we have:

[0091] F is the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3.

[0092] The transmission efficiency η of the transmission mechanism is calculated by the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3 obtained in step 3 and the torque data of the transmission mechanism end 8 corresponding to the thrust:

[0093]

[0094] Step six: calibrate the relationship between the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the input current data of the electromechanical actuator 3 in step four.

[0095] The method for calibrating the relationship between the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the input current data of the electromechanical actuator 3 is:

[0096] Assume K is the thrust current coefficient of the electromechanical actuator 3; then the relationship between the thrust of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the input current data of the electromechanical actuator 3 is:

[0100] Step 7. According to the parameters calibrated in the above steps, the thrust current coefficient K of the electromechanical actuator 3 is obtained. The relationship between the input current of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the torque of the transmission mechanism end 8 obtained in step 3 is obtained, and semi-closed loop control is achieved by controlling the input current of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the torque of the transmission mechanism end 8.

[0101] The relationship between the input current of the electromechanical actuator 3 and the torque of the transmission mechanism end 8 is expressed by the unknown coefficients c0, c1, c2, c3, c4, c5 of the calibrated quintic polynomial, the transmission efficiency η and the thrust current coefficient K of the electromechanical actuator 3:

[0107] The present invention adopts a method of experimentally calibrating and fitting the relationship between the input current of the electromechanical actuator, the thrust of the push rod, and the torque output at the end of the transmission mechanism. The torque output at the end of the transmission mechanism is semi-closed-loop controlled by controlling the input current of the electromechanical actuator, ignoring the intermediate links, and directly establishing the relationship between the input current and the final output torque of the torque control system, eliminating the influence of the shape and size errors of the mechanical structure, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of torque control.

[0109] The present invention introduces the Vandermonde matrix to fit the polynomial, which has a smaller amount of calculation than methods such as machine learning and is simple and quick to implement, effectively reducing the calculation consumption of the system.

[0110] In the calibration experiment, the present invention uses an external inclination sensor and a weight to respectively measure the end angle and the output torque of the transmission mechanism. After the calibration experiment is completed, the transmission mechanism can be disassembled. In actual work, there is no need to install the above-mentioned measuring device, which effectively reduces the overall volume and weight of the mechanism and makes the mechanism more concise.

[0111] The present invention adopts a fifth-order polynomial model to study the relationship between the actuation distance of the electromechanical actuator push rod and the angle at the end of the transmission mechanism, as well as the relationship between the actuator thrust and the torque output at the end of the transmission mechanism. Compared with the traditional second-order system model, it solves the problem of high-order system dynamics modeling and solution difficulties, and effectively improves the accuracy of torque control.

[0112] The present invention is aimed at a semi-closed-loop torque control system composed of an electromechanical actuator element and a transmission mechanism without torque feedback, and proposes a mechanism output torque control method based on an electromechanical actuator. By fitting with a fifth-order polynomial based on experimental measurement data, a mapping model between the input current of the electromechanical actuator and the output torque at the end of the transmission mechanism is directly established, thereby realizing dynamic prediction of the end load and solving the problem of precise torque control when there is no torque feedback.
