Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of closed-loop control systems of material testing machines, and in particular relates to an electro-hydraulic servo closed-loop controller of a material testing machine. Background Art
[0002] Since the last century, CNC systems have been rapidly developing, striving for high performance, high precision, openness, intelligence, and high stability. These high performance and high precision are primarily achieved through motion controllers and actuators. Early control systems were based on single-chip microcomputers (MCUs), implementing functions such as position detection and signal feedback processing. However, due to the slow execution speed of MCUs, the control cycle of CNC systems was relatively long, significantly limiting control accuracy and ensuring real-time control and stable, high-performance control. MCU controllers, with their powerful computing power, significantly shortened control cycles, fast processing speed, and excellent real-time control performance, effectively address these issues. In the practical application of MCU CNC systems, optimizing their performance and ensuring control system stability requires selecting an appropriate control strategy. PID control is simple, effective, easy to implement, widely applicable, and highly robust. Consequently, PID control has become a well-established control strategy, particularly when the controlled object's configuration is uncertain or modeling is difficult. The traditional PID control method can no longer meet the high-speed, high-performance and system stability requirements of the control system with DSP as the core processor. Therefore, a full-closed-loop control solution of incremental digital PID control is adopted to better exert the performance of the system and make it run more stably. Summary of the Invention

From these points of view, it is difficult for open-loop control to meet the control requirements of the system. In a closed-loop control system, the main control is to reduce the deviation between the controlled quantity and the set value. The deviation is caused by various actual disturbances. The fully closed-loop control system is not only able to effectively resist some actual disturbances, but also is not particularly sensitive to the fluctuations of the system's own component parameters.
[0024] Bridge pressure sensor, through 3 interface X14 and Figure 8 The force circuit connection of the controller, the low-pass filter circuit and the sensor power supply processing send the processed voltage signal to the AI1+ and AI1- ports of the AD7779 chip, and are collected by the main control chip STM32F429VGT6.

[0027] The servo hydraulic valve is connected to the servo valve drive circuit through the 12 interface. The servo valve power supply circuit and drive circuit are controlled by the main control chip STM32F429VGT6 through PID comparison and calculation, and the control signal is input into the DA chip DAC 1220 chip, and then output to the servo valve through the servo valve drive circuit to control the movement of the cylinder.
[0028] The absolute encoder sensor is directly connected to the main control chip STM32F429VGT6 through a 10-port DB25-pin connector with different pin numbers. The main control chip collects the encoder's pulse signal through interrupts.
[0029] For controllers, hardware is the foundation and software is the soul. Software has become the main body of computer automatic control systems and largely determines the system's advancement, reliability, practicality, and real-time performance. The control system can achieve precise control of the piston through three closed-loop automatic control using absolute position encoder sensors, pressure sensors, and workpiece deformation sensors. In the early stages of the test, displacement closed-loop control is used to accurately control the displacement of the hydraulic cylinder piston until the workpiece is clamped. Subsequently, the system switches to force closed-loop control mode, accurately applying pressure to the test workpiece until the workpiece reaches the force limit and deforms. At this point, the force closed-loop control is converted to deformation closed-loop control, allowing the workpiece to deform smoothly. When the workpiece reaches its deformation limit, i.e., yield deformation, the system quickly switches back to displacement control mode to avoid impact on the workpiece due to the inertia of the hydraulic piston after yielding, thereby achieving a smooth and safe test. The entire process of the test specimen being deformed by external force is fully recorded throughout the experiment, and a test report is generated.
[0030] The control system can realize closed-loop control of the displacement of the testing machine through the displacement sensor. The displacement sensor can be selected from position encoding sensor, SSI signal displacement sensor and analog displacement sensor.
