Abstract
This paper studies the precise position control of the hydraulic cylinder in the hydraulic support. The aim of this paper is to develop a method of hydraulic cylinder position control based on pressure and flow coupling, which takes the coupling feedback of load and flow into account, especially in the scene of cooperative control under the condition of multiple actuators and variable load. This method solves the problems of slow movement and sliding effect of hydraulic support in the traditional time-dependent hydraulic position control, as well as better realizes the intelligent and unmanned development of the fully mechanized mining face. First, based on the flow continuity equation and Newton Euler dynamic equation, the flow and stroke control model with the input and output pressure of hydraulic cylinder is established. Then, the effectiveness and correctness of the control model are verified by the comparison between the hydraulic system simulation software, AMESim, and the experiment. Finally, a test system is built. When the system pressure is large than 10 MPa, the error between the data determined by the fitting algorithm and the actual detection data is within 5%, which verifies the effectiveness of the theory and simulation model.
Highlights
Electro-hydraulic position servo system is a system that precisely controls the output displacement of the actuator and has been widely used in aerospace, metallurgy, engineering machinery, and other fields [1,2,3]
In some scenarios requiring high precision control at home and abroad, the precise position control of hydraulic cylinder is mainly controlled by proportional valve or servo valve [13,14,15]
The pressure and flow coupling-based precise position control was proposed for the hydraulic cylinder in the hydraulic support
Summary
Electro-hydraulic position servo system is a system that precisely controls the output displacement of the actuator and has been widely used in aerospace, metallurgy, engineering machinery, and other fields [1,2,3]. Based on the difference measured by the displacement sensor, and the target displacement to realize the position accuracy of the actuator, is the mainstream position control method to control the high-precision and high response hydraulic valve [4,5,6,7]. This control method is commonly used in variable displacement control of pump station, fault diagnosis [8,9], servo valve [10,11], and hydraulic cylinder control [12]. Ahsan Saeedzadeh proposed a digital hydraulic circuit using a fast-switching on/off valve instead of servo valves to control the position of a hydraulic actuator [26]
