This invention discloses a synchronous adjustment mechanism for the blade spacing of an automatic compound circular blade shearing machine, belonging to the technical field of shearing machines, and includes a base. By setting up a transmission mechanism and a linkage compensation mechanism, the invention enables the active and driven worm gears to drive the upper and lower eccentric sleeves to rotate in opposite directions, thereby achieving synchronous and precise adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower blade shafts. Furthermore, when the blade cutting load generates torque in the opposite direction, the cutting reaction force is transmitted to the linkage shaft through the driven worm gear, causing the planetary carrier to experience a disturbance torque and generate a rotational tendency. This transmits the opposite torque on the upper and lower blade shafts to the compensation gear. Simultaneously, the toothed plate in the elastic preload mechanism provides a reverse compensation torque to the compensation gear under the action of a compression spring, effectively counteracting the slight offset of the eccentric sleeve caused by the cutting reaction force, ensuring the stability of the preset gap during the cutting process, and eliminating gap errors caused by load changes.

Finally, based on the time domain signal of the aerodynamic loads, online rainflow counting with dynamic window length is used to extract the load cycle spectrum. Combined with a humidity-corrected fatigue damage model, the cumulative damage value is calculated. When the remaining lifetime is below a threshold, the load peak suppression and power generation efficiency are balanced through the coordinated control of linear decay of magnetoresistive torque and fuzzy PID control of the flaps.
