摘要

The dynamics of turning system which is a nonlinear system normally has great impact on the transportation speed of the vehicle having heavy load and large size.The dynamics of turning system depends on control algorithm and its implementation,but the existing control algorithms which having high dynamics in the application of heavy transportation vehicle are complex for realization and high hardware requirement.So,the nonlinear turning system is analyzed for improving its dynamics by researching new efficient control algorithm.The models of electromagnetic valve,hydraulic cylinder and turning mechanical part are built individually to get the open-loop model of the turning system following characteristics analyzed.According to the model,a new control algorithm for heavy transportation vehicle which combined PID with Bang-Bang control is presented.Then the close-loop model of turning system is obtained under Matlab/Simulink environment.By comparing the step response of different control algorithms in the same conditions,the new algorithm’s validity is verified.On the basis of the analysis results,the algorithm is adopted to implement the turning control system by using CAN field bus and PLC controllers.Furthermore,the turning control system has been applied in one type of heavy transportation vehicle.It reduces the response time of turning system from seconds level to 250 ms,and the speed of heavy transportation vehicle increases from 5 km/h to 30 km/h.The application result shows that the algorithm and turning control system have met all the turning requirements.This new type of turning control algorithm proposed is simple in implementation for fast response of nonlinear and large-scale turning system of heavy transportation vehicle.
