A Robust Adaptive Control Strategy for Electro-hydraulic Servo Based on Friction Compensation

Background: The electro-hydraulic servo system has the advantages of high stiffness, fast response speed, high precision and power-to-weight ratio. Objective: In this patent, an adaptive robust control strategy based on friction compensation is proposed for insufficient control accuracy due to a large number of nonlinearities and uncertainties in the system. Methods: In this patent, the mathematical relationship between the physical quantities of the valve-controlled cylinder is analyzed. Then the mathematical model of valve controlled cylinder considering the main nonlinearity and uncertainty of the system is established. The fuzzy proportion-integral-derivative, deterministic robust, and adaptive robust single-cylinder trajectory tracking controllers are designed and the tracking performance of different reference trajectories is analyzed by MATLAB/Simulink software. Results: In this patent, all the three controllers can track the reference trajectories smoothly. Adaptive robust control strategy can make the uncertain parameters of system converge and approach truth value. Conclusion: In this patent, the adaptive robust control strategy has the function of online parameter adjustment. When tracking accuracy is taken as the index, its tracking effect is better than fuzzy proportion-integral-derivative and deterministic robust. © 2023 Bentham Science Publishers.
