This solves the problem of large deviation in traditional single-physics field modeling and provides a reliable theoretical basis for the control algorithm.

[0049] 2. Structural parameter optimization significantly improves electromagnetic force response: Through finite element simulation and orthogonal testing, parameters such as the guide sleeve thickness (0.5mm) and the outer magnetic pole thickness (6mm) were optimized. Combined with a 45° magnetic isolation angle design, the initial electromagnetic force is increased by 40%, the response time is shortened to 1.5ms, and eddy current losses are reduced, breaking through the bottleneck of slow response and high energy consumption of traditional solenoid valves.

[0050] 3. Fractional-order sliding mode control enhances system robustness: By introducing fractional orders γ and μ, the control system improves the ability to suppress solenoid valve nonlinearities (such as magnetic saturation and fluid-dynamic coupling) and multi-frequency interference (high-frequency current ripple and low-frequency pressure fluctuations) by adjusting the error convergence rate and phase characteristics. This reduces control error by 30% compared to traditional PID, and improves anti-interference capability by 40%.

[0051] 4. Square Root Cubic Kalman Filter (SRCKF) for Accurate Implicit State Estimation: The SRCKF algorithm is designed based on a coupled model to indirectly estimate the valve core position through measurable variables (current, pressure), avoiding the cost of direct measurement. The estimation error is controlled within 5μm, providing real-time, high-precision feedback for closed-loop control.
