Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of watershed power plant equipment control technology, specifically to a multi-cylinder load adaptive expansion and collaborative control method for an intelligent step ladder for upper and lower rotors in a watershed power plant pit. Background Technology

[0002] The intelligent staircase for the upper and lower rotors inside the generator pit of the watershed power station is a key passage for unit maintenance and operation. Its folding and unfolding action relies on the coordinated drive of hydraulic cylinders on both sides (such as switching from vertical retraction to horizontal unfolding). There are two major problems in the folding and unfolding process of the staircase: First, the load changes dynamically. The center of gravity of the staircase itself shifts with its position and may bear additional loads from maintenance personnel and tools, resulting in nonlinear fluctuations in the load on the hydraulic cylinders on both sides. Second, the structural rigidity is limited. If the synchronous error of the displacement of the hydraulic cylinders on both sides exceeds 0.5mm, it will cause the staircase to deflect or tilt, and in severe cases, cause structural deformation or fracture.

[0003] Current mainstream hydraulic cylinder synchronization control technologies mainly rely on traditional PID and ordinary DIARC, but they still have significant shortcomings: Poor load adaptability: Traditional PID relies on fixed parameters and cannot cope with dynamic loads; the online parameter estimation process of traditional direct / indirect adaptive robust control strategies is usually slow, and the impact on the feedforward model is small for slowly varying parameters or parameters with small amplitude changes, such as the oil elastic modulus and viscous damping coefficient in the system. However, drastic changes in the load deviation of the dual cylinders will directly cause serious flow splitting errors in the dynamic flow distribution synchronization system, thereby causing distortion of the feedforward compensation model.

[0004] Weak anti-interference capability: There are interferences such as vibration and oil temperature changes in the power plant pit. Ordinary DIARC lags in estimating slowly changing parameters such as oil elastic modulus and viscous damping, and cannot quickly capture sudden interferences such as load deviation and synchronization valve diversion error, resulting in a decrease in synchronization accuracy. Therefore, it is urgent to design a collaborative control algorithm that combines load adaptation, fast anti-interference, and parameter safety constraints to solve the pain point of synchronous control in intelligent staircase folding and unfolding. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Example 4: Figure 1 This diagram shows the assembly of a mobile trolley for transporting stairs. It consists of 1. a staircase tilting mechanism, 2. a tool and document box, 3. a control box, 4. a chassis, and 5. a hydraulic system. The chassis is the supporting structure, with the staircase support platform fixed to the top of the chassis to house the staircase tilting mechanism. The tool and document box stores maintenance tools and debugging documents. The control box contains a control board and algorithm module. The hydraulic system provides power to subsequent mechanisms, thus enabling the overall trolley to bear and move the stairs.

[0042] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the staircase tilting mechanism, consisting of 1 hydraulic cylinder, 2 connecting rods, and 3 bases. The tilting frame is connected to... Figure 1 The support platform is hinged, allowing it to be flipped; the seats are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the support platform for mounting hydraulic cylinders; the two hydraulic cylinders have a double-rod structure, and the piston rods are hydraulically driven to extend and retract synchronously, driving the flipping frame to unfold and retract the ladder, ensuring stable unfolding and retraction.

[0043] Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the dual-cylinder synchronous hydraulic principle for dynamic flow distribution is the core hydraulic circuit for the synchronous dual-cylinder drive of the stair folding mechanism. It consists of 1. inlet filter, 2. solenoid directional valve, 3. bidirectional speed control valve, 4. flow divider and collector, 5. shut-off valve, 6. proportional directional valve, 7. drive hydraulic cylinders (two in total, corresponding to the drive cylinders on both sides of the stair folding mechanism), 8. displacement sensor, 9. pressure sensor, and 10. pressure gauge. The connection relationship and working logic of each component are adapted to the stair folding requirements. The specific implementation details are as follows: The electromagnetic directional valve is a three-position four-way electromagnetic directional valve (with an O-type function in the middle position). Its outlet is connected to a bidirectional speed control valve to control the on / off state and flow direction of hydraulic oil, enabling the switching between the deployment and retraction of the ladder. The bidirectional speed control valve is connected in series between the electromagnetic directional valve and the flow divider / manufacturer to regulate the total flow entering the dual-cylinder circuit, controlling the extension and retraction speed of the drive hydraulic cylinders to meet operational safety requirements. The flow divider / manufacturer is an equal-volume flow divider type, with its inlet connected to the outlet of the bidirectional speed control valve. The two outlets are connected to the rodless chambers of the two drive hydraulic cylinders via pipelines. Its core function is to evenly distribute the hydraulic oil output from the bidirectional speed control valve to the two drive hydraulic cylinders, providing a basic flow guarantee for dual-cylinder synchronization. The proportional directional valve is connected in series between the flow divider / manufacturer and the drive hydraulic cylinders. It receives current commands from the control system and fine-tunes the flow compensation of one side cylinder in real time to offset uneven flow distribution caused by load deviations and other interferences, further improving the synchronization accuracy of the dual cylinders. The displacement sensor collects the piston rod displacement signal in real time and feeds it back to the control system as the core basis for calculating the synchronization error. During operation, hydraulic oil is filtered by the inlet filter and then enters the solenoid directional valve. When the ladder unfolds, the solenoid on the left side of the solenoid directional valve is energized, and the oil enters the distributor after being regulated by the bidirectional speed control valve. After initial equal distribution, the oil flows to the pipelines on both sides, and after fine-tuning and compensation by the proportional directional valve, it enters the rodless chamber of the drive hydraulic cylinder, pushing the piston rod to extend synchronously and causing the ladder to flip and unfold. When retracting, the solenoid on the right side of the solenoid directional valve is energized, and the oil flows in the opposite direction into the rod chamber of the cylinder, causing the piston rod to retract synchronously. Throughout the process, displacement and pressure sensors provide real-time feedback signals, and the control system dynamically adjusts the flow rate through the proportional directional valve to ensure that the displacement of the drive hydraulic cylinders on both sides is synchronized, preventing the ladder from deflecting or tilting during unfolding.

[0044] Figure 4 The block diagram of the adaptive multi-cylinder load collaborative control algorithm for step stairs is the core logic architecture for the synchronous control of two cylinders in a step stairs. First, the desired trajectory is set as the synchronous displacement error of the two cylinders. The target signal is input to the feedforward model compensation term 1. This module combines the load deviation output by the online parameter estimation based on the model 4. Diversion error Isoparameter estimates Generate feedforward compensation amount This proactively counteracts the interference of known system dynamic characteristics (such as nominal load and inherent damping) on ​​synchronization. The feedforward compensated signal is then superimposed with the outputs of the fast dynamic compensation term 61 (for rapid disturbances such as sudden load changes), the nonlinear feedback term 62 (to suppress nonlinear factors such as proportional valve nonlinearity and cylinder friction), and the linear feedback term 63 (to reduce steady-state synchronization error) to form a comprehensive control quantity. Subsequently, the proportional valve static mapping 2 will... Convert to proportional valve input voltage Driven by a dual-cylinder drive system 3 (corresponding to) Figure 3 (The hydraulic circuit) causes the hydraulic cylinder to shift. , And form a shunt pressure difference Meanwhile, the extended observer 5 receives displacement and differential pressure signals of the dual-cylinder drive system in real time, observes unmodeled dynamics (such as unknown disturbances and model uncertainties), and feeds them back to the fast dynamic compensation term 61 to achieve rapid compensation for sudden disturbances; the online parameter estimation based on the model 4 continuously updates the parameter estimates in conjunction with the system output. This feedback not only optimizes the feedforward model compensation term 1 but also provides parameter support for the extended observer 5. Finally, the error calculation node compares the actual output of the dual cylinders with the expected trajectory to generate a result including displacement error. Differential pressure error Comprehensive error This feedback is further fed back to each feedback item, forming a complete closed loop of "feedforward pre-compensation + multi-feedback closed-loop adjustment + online observation and parameter update", ensuring synchronous displacement of the two cylinders and achieving precise folding and unfolding of the step ladder.
