Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the complex mechanical calculation process of traditional inverse model solution with a neural network-based computational system. The neural network is trained offline to learn the inverse hysteresis characteristics, and during operation, it directly provides compensation signals without requiring complex real-time mathematical inversion, thus substituting difficult analytical calculations with efficient numerical computation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary training of the neural network offline using measured hysteresis data to establish the inverse compensation model before actual positioning operations. This preliminary action allows the system to store pre-computed compensation characteristics, eliminating the need for complex real-time calculations during positioning and enabling fast, accurate hysteresis compensation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic neural network model that can adapt to changing operating conditions. The network is designed to learn from measured data under various loads and working conditions, and its structure allows it to dynamically adjust its compensation output based on the current state, making the system adaptable rather than static.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the neural network model is trained using measured input-output data from the piezoelectric actuator system. This feedback loop allows the model to learn actual system behavior including variations due to different loads and working conditions, thereby improving adaptability. The measured data is used to refine and update the compensation model.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs all complex model training and inverse characteristic learning in advance during an offline training phase. The neural network is pre-trained using extensive measured data to capture the hysteresis behavior across the full operating range. During real-time positioning operations, the pre-trained network simply evaluates the current input to provide compensation, which is computationally efficient and suitable for high dynamic conditions.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes complex real-time mathematical inversion operations with a pre-trained neural network evaluation process. The neural network, once trained offline, can rapidly compute compensation signals during high-speed positioning operations without requiring the computationally intensive iterative solutions that traditional inverse models demand, thus achieving excellent real-time performance.
