Solution Overview

Problem

Existing motor controlling systems face challenges in effectively suppressing low-frequency vibrations in machinery systems, particularly when using acceleration feedback control, due to the formation of dipoles in pole assignments, which can lead to overshoot and instability in step responses.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a motor controlling device that includes a position controller, speed controller, motor drive, and an acceleration feedback signal generator, along with a positional reference filter capable of suppressing low-frequency vibrations by removing the zero point and poles of the dipole assignment, using a primary low pass filter and a dipole removal filter to stabilize the control system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If acceleration feedback control is used to suppress vibrations, then vibration suppression capability is improved, but low-frequency vibrations cause overshoot and instability in step responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration suppression capabilityVSAvoidstep response stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter configuration by introducing a positional reference filter with specific transfer function characteristics (containing a zero point and pole) that modifies the frequency response of the control system. This filter selectively attenuates low-frequency components in the positional reference signal, preventing the excitation of low-frequency vibrations that cause overshoot and instability, while preserving the acceleration feedback control's effectiveness for higher-frequency vibration suppression.

2Speed

If filter delay is reduced to maintain rapid response rate, then response speed is improved, but filtering effectiveness for low-frequency vibration suppression may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse rateVSAvoidvibration suppression effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the filter parameters (time constants T1 and T2 in the transfer function (T2s+1)/(T1s+1)) to achieve an optimal balance between response speed and filtering effectiveness. By carefully selecting these parameters, the system maintains a rapid response rate while ensuring sufficient attenuation of low-frequency vibrations, resolving the contradiction between speed and effectiveness.
