The working performance of the conductive rolling ring has a crucial impact on the overall energy security and on-orbit life of a satellite. To ensure the real-time transmission of signal and current, it is necessary to control the motion pattern of the rolling ring. In this paper, the finite element analysis method is used to carry out kinematics and dynamics simulation analysis, analyze the motion stability of the rolling ring, and discuss the relationship between the size of the idler gear, the driving torque, and the flexible contact pressure. The research results show that the numerical simulation and theoretical analysis show that the deviation angle is between 0 and 1.52 when the initial installation of the rolling ring is deviated by using the existing camber design of the inner and outer rings. Both have a self-recovery function. The driving torque and the size of the idler gear are nonlinear, and the contact force is proportional to the radius of the idler gear. With the increase in the compression of the radius of the flexible ring, the driving torque and the contact force will increase accordingly. The method of reducing the compression or increasing the size of the idler gear can be used to reduce the driving torque and maintain a certain contact to facilitate the transmission of electrical signals.

The working environment of construction machinery is harsh, and some operations are highly repetitive. The realization of intelligent construction machinery helps to improve economic efficiency and promote industrial development. Construction machinery is different from ordinary passenger vehicles. Aiming at the fact that the existing environmental perception data set cannot be directly applied to construction machinery, this paper establishes the corresponding data set in combination with the specific working conditions of construction machinery and carries out training based on the PointPillars network to realize the environmental perception function applicable to the working conditions of construction machinery. Most construction machinery runs on unstructured roads, and the existing passenger vehicle path planning algorithm is not applicable to construction machinery. Based on this, this paper uses a hybrid A* algorithm to achieve path planning that meets the kinematics of construction machinery and realizes real-time obstacle detection and avoidance. At the same time, this paper combines environmental perception with a path planning algorithm to provide a method of autonomous path finding and obstacle avoidance for construction machinery. Based on the improved pure pursuit algorithm, the high-precision motion control and established trajectory tracking of construction machinery are realized, which lays a certain foundation for the follow-up research and development of related intelligent technologies of construction machinery.

Electromechanical actuators (EMA) are becoming more and more widely used. As the core technology of EMA, servo control technology determines their performance. In this paper, an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) method with an improved extended state observer (ESO) is proposed to design a cascade controller of EMA based on permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The mathematical model of PMSM in a two-phase rotating coordinate system is established, then it is decoupled by an id=0 current control method to realize the vector control of the motor. In a three closed-loop vector control system, a PID controller including current loop, speed loop and position loop is designed. To solve the problems caused by measurement noise, the filter link and system are modeled as a whole, and an improved ESO is constructed. On this basis, an ADRC controller of the speed loop and position loop of PMSM is designed and simulated based on Simulink. Based on the physical test platform, a load step test and load disturbance test of ADRC are completed. The results show that, in comparison to the PID method, the ADRC method shortens the response time by 25% on average, and reduces the overshoot by 60% on average. So, it can be concluded that ADRC has good static and dynamic performance, which has a good guiding role for engineering practice. Full article

In order to meet the accuracy requirements and tracking performance of continuous rotary electro-hydraulic servo motor system under nonlinear uncertainty and strong disturbance factors, the sliding mode variable structure composite control strategy based on an improved power reaching law is proposed. Based on the principle of valve-controlled hydraulic motor, the state space model of the motor system is established, and a continuous friction model is adopted. Then, the genetic algorithm is used for parameter identification to determine the friction feedforward compensation scheme. In addition, an improved power reaching law is designed, which can adaptively adjust the system chattering according to the system state. The simulation results show that the sliding mode variable structure composite controller with the friction feedforward compensation can achieve a system frequency of 15 Hz, and tracking accuracy and response speed meet the double-decade index requirements, which improve the performance of continuous rotary electro-hydraulic servo motor.
