[0088] S210. According to the sampled current value and duty cycle, and the predicted current value and duty cycle, respectively obtain the error control variables e and ec.
[0089] Among them, , , and are the current sampling value and duty cycle at the k-th moment respectively, and are the predicted current sampling value and duty cycle at the (k + 1)-th moment respectively.
[0090] Specifically, at the (k + 1)-th moment is predicted according to the following method:
[0091] In this embodiment, the resonant converter is an LCL resonant converter. Due to the resonant effect of the converter, the normalized values of the resonant frequency and the switching frequency are respectively: ;

[0102] Then the actual power at time k can be sampled by the plasma voltage / current and is expressed as:
[0103]
[0104] where is the current and the voltage vector angle, with a value range of ;
[0105] The duty cycle at the current time k can be obtained by passing the current error e1 in the current loop through current PI modulation. According to the duty cycle at the current time k of the object under test, the duty cycle at time k + 1 is predicted by fitting
[0106] The duty cycle at time k + 1 is obtained by fitting with the arctangent function:

The input fuzzy sets e and ec are divided into 5 fuzzy subspaces, and the linguistic values are: much less than the lower limit of the set range (NB), slightly less than the lower limit of the set range (NS), within the set range (ZO), slightly greater than the upper limit of the set range (PS), much greater than the upper limit of the set range (PB). The hysteresis width hr is divided into 5 fuzzy subspaces, and the linguistic values are: negative large (NB), negative small (NS), zero (ZO), positive small (PS), positive large (PB). Then there is:
[0113] ,
[0114] ,
[0115] The basic universes of discourse of the input fuzzy sets e and ec are [-1, 1], and the basic universe of discourse of the hysteresis width hr is [-1, 1]. To ensure that the fuzzy controller has a high sensitivity, at the boundaries of the basic universe of discourse, the input membership functions of each variable are selected as triangular functions with higher sensitivity and are evenly distributed.
[0116] Step S220 specifically includes:
[0117] S221. According to the error control variables e and ec and the membership functions, determine the membership values E and EC; the membership values E and EC are both divided into 5 fuzzy subspaces, and the linguistic values are: much less than the lower limit of the set range NB, slightly less than the lower limit of the set range NS, within the set range ZO, slightly greater than the upper limit of the set range PS, much greater than the upper limit of the set range PB;
[0118] S222. According to the membership values E and EC, determine the fuzzy output quantity H; the fuzzy output quantity H is divided into 5 fuzzy subspaces, and the linguistic values are: negative large NB, negative small NS, zero ZO, positive small PS, positive large PB;
[0119] S223. According to the fuzzy output quantity H, defuzzify to obtain the actual control quantity hr.

[0128] The specific steps of the fuzzy inference are as follows: perform fuzzy inference on the fuzzy input quantities E and EC according to the set rule R, and output the fuzzy output quantity H; where ;
[0129] Then the inherent fuzzy relationship of the entire rule base is:
[0130]
[0131] The specific steps of the defuzzification process are as follows: adopt the centroid method to find the centroid value of each element in the fuzzy output quantity H and its corresponding membership degree to obtain the output quantity hr.
[0132]
[0133] where hr is the output quantity of the fuzzy controller, is the central value of the membership function interval corresponding to the output quantity, is the corresponding membership degree;
[0134] The steps to obtain the output quantity hr include: first, perform fuzzy processing on the input signal, then perform fuzzy inference according to the set data set and rule set to obtain the fuzzy output quantity H; finally, perform defuzzification processing on the fuzzy output quantity H using the centroid method to finally obtain the output quantity hr.
