To provide cooperative control under complex working conditions of a filling multimotor system, this paper proposes a relative coupling control strategy with a switching system structure. Firstly, a multistation transmission system composed of a filling motor and a transfer motor is designed according to different filling processes. Secondly, a stable sliding-mode surface common to the multimotor system is selected, and an equivalent sliding-mode controller corresponding to each motor is designed. Thirdly, public Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove that the switched system can move from any initial state to the common sliding surface of the system, thereby ensuring the asymptotic stability of the entire system. Simulation results show that this method has a more significant control effect on the system error of each motor in comparison with the traditional relative coupling control structure.
In response to the high-speed and high-precision collaborative control requirements of the multimotor system for filling, a new type of virtual master-axis control structure is proposed and a multimotor fixed-time optimized collaborative control algorithm is designed. Firstly, coupling relationship between virtual and slave motors is effectively established by designing a velocity compensation module for the virtual motor. Secondly, the sliding mode observer (SMO) is used to reconstruct the composite disturbance composed of motor parameter perturbation and load disturbance. Finally, the variable gain terminal sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed to ensure that each slave motor can track the given value within a fixed time. The fast convergence of the system can be proved by the fixed-time convergence theorem and Lyapunov’s stability theorem. The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional virtual main-axis control strategy, the proposed method is more effective for the tracking control of each slave motor in the initial stage.
