Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for predicting the dynamic characteristics of a pneumatic support system, and specifically to the prediction of the dynamic characteristics of an air spring with an additional air bag commonly used in a pneumatic support system. By introducing an interpretable KAN (Kolmogorov-Arnold Network) model, the amplitude and frequency are used as input parameters, and the error between the experimental true value and the physical model calculated value is used as the output target. The KAN model is trained, and the predicted results are used to compensate the physical model, thereby improving the dynamic characteristic characterization capability of the overall model. This method can more accurately predict the dynamic characteristics of an air spring with an additional air bag, and is interpretable, which can better provide a basis for the control research of pneumatic support systems. Background Art
[0002] A pneumatic support system is a system that uses compressed air to provide support, vibration reduction, and height adjustment. It is widely used in the fields of automobiles, construction, and precision instrument vibration isolation. Air springs are the core components of pneumatic support systems, among which air springs with additional air bags are often used. An air spring with an additional air bag is a special dual-chamber throttle tube air spring. The volume of the additional air bag is variable, and the change in the volume of the air bag becomes more obvious as the amplitude increases. The air spring with an additional air bag has a wide stiffness adjustment range and is applicable to a wide range of working conditions. However, its dynamic characteristics are extremely complex due to multiple factors such as the characteristics of the rubber bladder, the expansion effect of the air bag, and the strong turbulence characteristics in the throttle tube. It is extremely difficult to establish an accurate physical model to predict its dynamic characteristics.
[0003] The Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) is an efficient, stable, and interpretable neural network with a learnable activation function. It has strong nonlinearity capture capabilities and can fit any complex function. KAN's internal structure is transparent, enabling symbolic characterization and providing a functional expression describing the relationship between input and output. Leveraging KAN's function fitting and characterization capabilities, the physical model of an air spring with an attached air bag is effectively compensated, and a mathematical expression for the dynamic characteristics of the air spring with an attached air bag is derived, making it interpretable.
[0004] The present invention proposes a method for predicting the dynamic characteristics of a pneumatic support system driven by combined mechanism knowledge and interpretable KAN machine learning. For the prediction of the dynamic characteristics of air springs with additional air bags commonly used in pneumatic support systems, this method proposes a physical model of air springs with additional air bags that does not consider the expansion effect, and combines it with an interpretable KAN model to compensate for the physical model (such as the expansion effect), which can more accurately predict the dynamic characteristics of air springs with additional air bags. Summary of the Invention
