ABSTRACT
In order to solve the problems of nonlinearity, uncertainty and coupling of multi-hydraulic cylinder group platform of a digging-anchor-support robot, as well as the lack of synchronization control accuracy of hydraulic synchronous motors, an improved Automatic Disturbance Rejection Controller-Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (ADRC-IPSO) position synchronization control method is proposed. The mathematical model of a multi-hydraulic cylinder group platform of a digging-anchor-support robot is established, the compression factor is used to replace the inertia weight, and the traditional Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is improved by using the genetic algorithm theory to improve the optimization range and convergence rate of the algorithm, and the parameters of the Active Disturbance Rejection Controller (ADRC) were adjusted online. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the improved ADRC-IPSO control method. The experimental results show that, compared with the traditional ADRC, ADRC-PSO and PID controller, the improved ADRC-IPSO has better position tracking performance and shorter adjusting time, and its step signal synchronization error is controlled within 5.0 mm, and the adjusting time is less than 2.55 s, indicating that the designed controller has better synchronization control effect.
ABSTRACT
In view of the risk of collision with humans or equipment arising from a lack of protection in the operation process of combined support and anchor equipment on the heading face, this paper designs a safety interlock system for combined support and anchor equipment. Firstly, a mathematical model of hydraulic power system control and a valve control system based on feedforward-feedback optimization were established according to the power demand of the combined support and anchor equipment. Secondly, according to the reliability indexes of the safety interlock system, corresponding sensor, logic control and execution modules were designed. Ultrasonic sensor groups were arranged at the key positions of the combined support and anchor equipment to capture the position information in real time when the equipment was moving. Thus, the pump-valve hydraulic system was controlled through closed-loop feedback. The experimental results show that the safety interlock system of the combined support and anchor equipment can adjust the revolving speed of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in real time according to the distance from the obstacle, so as to control the pump outlet flow, and then perform interlocking safety control of the hydraulic cylinder's movement speed. The system can effectively prevent damage to the surrounding equipment or personnel arising from equipment malfunction.

To improve the roadway adaptability and control accuracy of anchoring equipment, a stepping anchoring device was designed. A permanent-magnet synchronous motor control and a harmonic suppression algorithm were integrated to optimize the dynamic control system of stepping-type anchoring equipment. The results of an experimental simulation and analysis showed that when the coefficient of coal rock hardness f = 5, 6, and 7, the pulsation coefficient of the hydraulic pump outlet pressure, hydraulic motor output speed, and pump-controlled hydraulic cylinder advance speed in the hydraulic circuit of a pump-controlled motor did not exceed 3% after the equipment based on sliding mode control (SMC) entered the steady state, while the maximum pulsation coefficient was only 32.5% of the PI control. Based on the SMC, the harmonic components of the permanent magnet synchronous motor in the power system were suppressed and compensated for. This enhanced the stiffness of the hydraulic system under motor drive. When the rock stiffness factor gradually changed from f = 5 to f = 8 and increased suddenly from f = 5 to f = 6, the pressure overshoot at the outlet of the hydraulic pump of the pump-controlled motor system was reduced from 11.19% to 7.97% and from 61.19% to 52.88%, respectively, compared with that before the optimization. It was thereby proven that SMC based on harmonic suppression can effectively reduce the system pulsation caused by the multi-factor coupling of anchoring equipment and provide technical support for the optimal control of the power system of stepping-type anchoring equipment.
