Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a mechanical falling device for controlling falling acceleration and a falling simulation method, belonging to the technical field of star soil testing. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main methods for micro / low gravity simulation in aircraft design, space medicine, astronaut training, etc. are gravity compensation methods such as suspension method, robotic arm method, and water flotation method. However, as the stellar soil (such as lunar soil) is a fragmented particle, simply compensating the gravity of the test box where the lunar soil is placed cannot achieve the low gravity simulation of the lunar soil. The low gravity simulation of the lunar soil is more complicated and difficult. The main methods are: 1. Geotechnical centrifuge method. 2. Water seepage force to simulate gravity. 3. Base friction to simulate gravity. 4. Drop tower test.

[0003] Among them, the drop tower method is most similar to the principle of the present invention, the difference is that the drop tower method has strict size and weight restrictions, and it is impossible to carry out geotechnical tests with sand boxes; secondly, the drop tower can only achieve a weightless state of 0g acceleration, and cannot achieve free switching between 1-0g acceleration.

[0090] The wire rope pressing plate 6 is provided with a through hole for the wire rope to pass through; the wire rope is passed between the active pad 13 and the passive pad 14 .

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown: the falling simulation method of the mechanical falling device for controlling the falling acceleration of the present invention, the hardware part includes a servo motor, a sensor module, an actuator and a communication module.

[0092] Servo motor: responsible for adjusting the position of the wire rope clamp and controlling the friction force.

[0093] Clamp and wire rope clamp: driven by a servo motor to clamp or release the wire rope, thereby achieving deceleration control of the device.

[0094] Sensor Module:

[0095] Acceleration sensor: detects the falling acceleration of the device in real time and provides feedback data.

[0096] Wind speed sensor: used to monitor the external wind speed in order to evaluate and compensate for the effects of wind resistance.

[0097] Tension sensor: Installed at the key nodes of the wire rope, used to measure the force of the wire rope to ensure safety and control accuracy.

[0098] Displacement sensor: detects the real-time position of the device and provides displacement feedback to help determine whether the system is operating according to the predetermined path.

[0099] Communication module:

[0100] Wireless communication module: used for data exchange between the controller and the central monitoring system to achieve remote monitoring and operation.

[0101] Real-time data is obtained from each sensor and fused, such as calculating the speed by combining the data of the acceleration sensor and the displacement sensor; the PID controller achieves precise control of the servo motor to ensure the stability of the falling acceleration.

[0102] Wind resistance compensation module: Based on the data provided by the wind speed sensor, the wind resistance is estimated in real time and a compensation signal is generated, which is combined with the acceleration control to form a closed-loop control.

[0103] The control strategy of the present invention is as follows:

[0104] The system adopts a closed-loop control structure with a PID controller as the core to achieve precise control of acceleration.

[0105] The closed-loop control process is as follows:

[0106] 1. Target setting: The user sets the target acceleration through the human-machine interface.

[0107] 2. Sensor feedback: The acceleration sensor obtains the actual acceleration of the device in real time, the displacement sensor obtains displacement data, and the wind speed sensor provides wind resistance information.

[0108] 3. Error calculation: The controller calculates the error between the target acceleration and the actual acceleration in real time.

[0109] 4. PID adjustment: According to the error value, the PID controller generates a control signal to drive the servo motor to make corresponding adjustments.

[0110] 5. Wind resistance compensation: The data from the wind speed sensor is used to estimate the wind resistance and generate a compensation signal, which is combined with the PID control signal to further improve the response accuracy of the system.

[0111] The wind resistance compensation strategy is as follows:

[0112] Wind resistance has a significant effect on the device's falling process, especially when falling over long distances or at high speeds. The control system compensates for wind resistance by following these steps:

[0113] Wind resistance estimation model: The wind resistance is estimated by the classic wind resistance model, where the falling speed is measured in real time and other parameters are constants that are known or determined experimentally.

[0114] Compensation signal generation: The estimated wind resistance is converted into a control demand for the servo motor to offset the effect of wind resistance by increasing the clamping force.

[0115] Real-time dynamic adjustment: According to the real-time changes in wind speed, the wind resistance compensation signal is continuously updated to ensure that the acceleration of the entire falling process remains close to the target value.

[0116] The test process is as follows:

[0117] Startup phase: After the system is started, the controller checks the status of each sensor and servo motor to ensure that the system is in normal working condition. After the user sets the target acceleration, the controller starts the servo motor to put the wire rope clamp in the initial position and prepare to start falling.

[0118] Falling process: The servo motor adjusts the position of the splint to control the falling acceleration. Each sensor works continuously, the acceleration sensor and displacement sensor feedback the actual movement situation, and the wind speed sensor monitors the external environment in real time. The PID controller and wind resistance compensation module work together to ensure that the acceleration is stable at the target value.

[0119] Exceeding the acceleration threshold: If it is detected that the acceleration exceeds the set safety threshold, the system will immediately initiate emergency braking, and the servo motor will clamp the wire rope to the maximum extent to prevent the device from falling out of control.

[0120] Drastic changes in wind resistance: If the wind speed changes dramatically, causing the wind resistance to change too much, the controller will increase the clamping force appropriately and send an alarm to the monitoring system through the communication module.

[0121] Abnormal tension: If the tension sensor detects abnormal tension of the wire rope (for example, too large or too small), the system will automatically stop falling and prompt the user to check.

[0122] Stopping stage: When the predetermined falling distance is reached or the user issues a stop command, the servo motor gradually increases the clamping force, reduces the falling speed, and finally stops the device smoothly.

[0123] The control algorithm of the above experiment is implemented as follows: the control algorithm is written in C language or Python, and real-time control is realized based on RTOS. The PID controller and windage compensation module are implemented as configurable modules so that they can be adjusted according to different experimental requirements.

[0124] Data acquisition and display: Data is transmitted to the computer through the serial communication module or CAN bus, and the real-time operation status is displayed using the host computer software.

[0125] System testing and calibration

[0126] Acceleration control test: Perform multiple experiments at different target accelerations to evaluate control accuracy and response time.

[0127] Verification of wind resistance compensation effect: Verify the effect of the wind resistance compensation module by changing the wind speed and falling speed.

[0128] Repeatability and reliability testing: Repeated testing under different environmental conditions to ensure that the system has sufficient robustness and reliability.

[0129] Control system parameters

[0130] Controlled dynamics equation: For an arbitrary acceleration a (in m / s 2 ), the acceleration of the device is controlled by the control force F applied by the servo motor motor and external disturbances (wind resistance, friction, etc.). Assuming the mass of the device is m, its equation of motion is:

[0131]

[0132] in: is the acceleration of the device; F motor (t) is the control force generated by the motor; F ext (t) is the external disturbance force (such as wind resistance, friction, etc.).

[0133] The goal is to make the acceleration Always close to the set target acceleration a.

[0134] Target acceleration a: is set according to the task requirements and can range from 0G to 1G, that is:

[0135] a∈[0,g] where g≈9.8m / s 2

[0136] That is, the target acceleration a ranges from 0 to 9.8 m / s 2 Any value in between.

[0137]

[0138] in: is the acceleration of the device; F motor (t) is the control force generated by the motor; F ext (t) is the external disturbance force (such as wind resistance, friction, etc.).

[0139] External disturbances include wind resistance and mechanical friction. Wind resistance F wind Depends on the speed v, according to the previous model:

[0140]

[0141] The effects of friction and wear can be represented by a decreasing attenuation factor η(t):

[0142] F motor (t) = η(t)F motor,ideal (t)

[0143] Impact of mission payload:

[0144] In practical applications, the mission load (i.e., the total mass of the device) may change. Changes in mission load will affect the inertia of the device, thereby affecting the control of acceleration. Assuming that the change in load is Δm(t), the mass of the device is m(t) = m0 + Δm(t), where m0 is the initial mass and Δm(t) is the load that changes over time.

[0145] The acceleration equation for the device should be adjusted for the change in mass:

[0146]

[0147] Comprehensive control ideas:

[0148] In order to cope with the influence of different acceleration a, task load changes and inertia, the following control strategy is adopted:

[0149] Model Predictive Control (MPC): used to optimize control inputs to ensure the acceleration of the device Always keep near the target acceleration a.

[0150] Robust control (H∞, sliding mode control): used to deal with external disturbances (such as wind speed changes, friction, etc.) and system uncertainties.

[0151] Real-time adjustment of mass and inertia compensation: Compensate for changes in inertia by dynamically adjusting control inputs as mission payload changes are considered.

[0152] Model Predictive Control (MPC) Design:

[0153] MPC minimizes the acceleration error by predicting future acceleration and optimizing control input. For any acceleration a, the MPC cost function can be expanded to:

[0154]

[0155] Where: x¨(t+k|t) is the acceleration prediction at the future time t+kt; Fmotor(t+k|t) is the control force prediction at the future time; m(t+k|t) is the mass prediction at the future time, taking into account the load change; Q, R, and P are weighted matrices used to balance the effects of acceleration error, control input, and mass change. MPC calculates the optimal control input F by minimizing the cost function. motor (t) to ensure the acceleration Get as close to the target acceleration a as possible.

[0156] Predictive Models: For MPC optimization, the dynamic model of the system needs to include the effects of external disturbances and quality changes, such as:

[0157]

[0158] Robust control design (H∞ control):

[0159] H∞ control can further enhance the robustness of the system to the uncertainty of wind resistance, friction and mass change. Its optimization goal is to minimize the system's response to disturbances and keep the acceleration stable under disturbances and uncertainties. The design of H∞ control is as follows:

[0160]

[0161] Where T zw (s) is the transfer function from disturbance (wind resistance, friction, etc.) to acceleration output. By optimizing the control gain matrix K, the effect of disturbance on acceleration can be minimized to ensure that the acceleration is always close to the target a.

[0162] Sliding mode control (SMC): Sliding mode control can provide strong robustness in the face of large external disturbances (such as rapid changes in wind speed, sudden changes in load, etc.). The design steps of sliding mode control are as follows:

[0163] Design sliding surface: The sliding surface S(t) can be defined as the difference between the acceleration error and the target acceleration:

[0164]

[0165] Control law design: The sliding mode control law is as follows:

[0166] F motor (t) = -Ksgn(S(t))

[0167] Where K is the gain parameter and sgn(S(t)) is the sign function used to guide the system state to slide along the sliding surface.

[0168] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
