Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of magnetic levitation centrifugal pumps, and in particular to a magnetic levitation centrifugal pump control method based on COMSOL-SIMULINK joint simulation. Background Art

[0002] Magnetic levitation centrifugal pumps achieve contactless transmission through magnetic levitation technology, avoiding the friction and wear problems of traditional mechanical bearings and improving the operating stability and efficiency of centrifugal pumps. However, in practical applications, parameter optimization of centrifugal pumps remains a major technical challenge, especially when faced with changes in actual working conditions, measurement errors, and uncertainties, requiring precise optimization and adjustment of the centrifugal pump parameters. Most magnetic levitation centrifugal pump control systems in existing technologies use a single control strategy and are unable to achieve both active and passive control, resulting in insufficient control accuracy and stability under complex working conditions. For example, traditional PID control has poor control effects when facing nonlinear systems and cannot effectively cope with dynamically changing working conditions.

[0003] To improve the control accuracy and stability of magnetic levitation centrifugal pumps, a simulation method that simultaneously considers the effects of multi-physics coupling is required. COMSOL and Simulink co-simulation leverages COMSOL's advanced physical modeling capabilities and Simulink's control theory advantages to achieve cross-platform collaborative design. This co-simulation allows for more accurate simulation of the magnetic levitation centrifugal pump's operating state, optimized control parameters, and improved overall system performance.

[0004] Domestic invention patent CN116173396A "A magnetically levitated centrifugal pump": In this invention, the rotational drive and axial position control of the rotor are completely independent and located on both sides of the rotor body, respectively, with simple control logic. The rotor is fully suspended by the magnetic force between the dynamic magnetic ring and the static magnetic ring. There is no mechanical contact between the rotor and the volute, which reduces heat generation and wear, and reduces the possibility of thrombosis and crushing damage to blood cells. The radial suspension limit of the rotor is achieved by the dynamic magnetic ring and the static magnetic ring. Domestic invention patent CN117536891A "A parameter optimization method and system for a magnetically levitated magnetic-driven centrifugal pump": It relates to the field of centrifugal pump optimization technology. The method includes obtaining basic information of the target liquid to be controlled, optimizing the initial control parameters, establishing mapping and calibration operating parameters, configuring a sensor group and completing the time node segmentation of the startup state and steady state, calling monitoring data to analyze the operating status and generate optimized parameters, and performing operation management through optimized parameters. This solves the problem of insufficient accuracy in centrifugal pump parameter optimization in the prior art and improves the stability and efficiency of the centrifugal pump. Domestic invention patent CN20240326, "A method for controlling electromagnetic resistance based on COMSOL-Simulink joint simulation": First, based on the physical process of resistance generated by a hybrid excitation electromagnetic damper, modeling and numerical calculations are carried out in COMSOL. Then, the COMSOL model is jointly simulated with the Simulink control system. The excitation current of the electromagnetic damper is controlled in real time through Simulink, thereby achieving precise control of the electromagnetic resistance. It can be applied to vehicle braking, mechanical transmission and other fields. Existing patents for magnetic levitation centrifugal pumps mostly focus on specific structural designs or single function implementations, but there are deficiencies in optimizing the overall structure to improve comprehensive performance, such as taking into account multiple requirements such as volume, weight, efficiency, and reliability. In addition, the multi-physical field coupling effect of the fluid magnetic field and the solid is not fully considered, which may lead to discrepancies between theory and practice in actual applications, affecting the performance and reliability of the pump. Through the joint simulation of COMSOL and Simulink, real-time data transmission between the physical model and the control model is achieved, enabling the control system to adjust the control parameters in real time according to the actual operating status of the pump, achieving high-precision, real-time control of the pump, and improving the operating efficiency and stability of the pump, which is not available in existing patents.

[0012] The actual rotor displacement obtained is used to calculate the suspension force in the next stage to achieve closed-loop control of the rotor displacement.

[0013] Furthermore, a multi-physics field model of the magnetic levitation centrifugal pump is established, including the following steps:

[0016] Numerical calculations were performed to obtain the performance parameters of the magnetic levitation centrifugal pump, including the motor's angular position signal θ, the radial displacement of the rotor, and the unilateral magnetic pull applied to the rotor after radial displacement.

[0017] Furthermore, the multi-physics model of the magnetic levitation centrifugal pump solves the actual displacement of the rotor based on the equation of motion, where the equation of motion is:

[0018] F d -F sx -F zx =mx″

[0019] F q -F sy -F zy =my″
