Abstract
The parallel-suspension type inertially stabilized platform utilizes a unique flexible support structure and non-contact linear actuators to enable simultaneous high-efficiency vibration suppression control of optical payloads across multiple degrees of freedom. Compared to traditional series – gimbals type stabilized platforms, it offers a higher payload-to-weight ratio and rapid response characteristics. In this paper, a 6-degree-of-freedom dynamic model for the parallel-suspension inertially stabilized platform is established, a control method is designed, and an actual engineering prototype is constructed. Specifically, a flexible support element model that accounts for column instability phenomenon is developed. Based on the parallel mount configuration a complete 6-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the entire platform is constructed. Furthermore, due the variable parameter characteristics of flexible elastic elements, a μ synthesis control method considering the uncertainty of model parameters is designed. The experimental results show that the μ controller can effectively reduce the external sinusoidal angular disturbance to less than 25 % and the linear vibration disturbance to less than 3 % of the original disturbance while maintaining the robustness. Both simulation and experimental results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed model and method.
期刊介绍:
Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The purpose of this journal is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in mechatronics. It will cover a wide range of application areas including consumer product design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, computer integration and process and device control, and will attract a readership from across the industrial and academic research spectrum. Particular importance will be attached to aspects of innovation in mechatronics design philosophy which illustrate the benefits obtainable by an a priori integration of functionality with embedded microprocessor control. A major item will be the design of machines, devices and systems possessing a degree of computer based intelligence. The journal seeks to publish research progress in this field with an emphasis on the applied rather than the theoretical. It will also serve the dual role of bringing greater recognition to this important area of engineering.
