Research on Adaptive Friction Compensation of Digital Hydraulic Cylinder Based on LuGre Friction Model
Abstract
This paper aims to eliminate nonlinear friction from the performance of the digital hydraulic cylinder to enable it to have good adaptive ability. First, a mathematical model of a digital hydraulic cylinder based on the LuGre friction model was established, and then a dual-observer structure was designed to estimate the unobservable state variables in the friction model. The Lyapunov method is used to prove the global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system using the adaptive friction compensation method. Finally, Simulink is used to simulate the system performance. The simulation results indicate that the addition of adaptive friction compensation control can effectively reduce system static error, suppress system limit loop oscillation, “position decapitation,” “speed dead zone,” and low-speed creep phenomena, and improve the overall performance of the digital hydraulic cylinder. The control method has practical application value for improving the performance index of the digital hydraulic cylinder.
