Dynamics of the Vibration System Driven by Three Homodromy Eccentric Rotors Using Control Synchronization

To solve the limitation of vibration synchronization, this paper investigates the dynamics of a vibration system driven by three homodromy eccentric rotors (ERs) using control synchronization. According to the synchronous condition and the stability condition, the changes of the phase differences of the three-ERs system and the two-third ERs system are obtained. Based on the electromechanical mathematic model of the vibration system and the master-slave control strategy, the synchronous target that three ERs achieve the same phase motion is converted into velocity and phase tracking of ERs. Considering the coupling characteristic of the self-adjusting of the system in the state of vibration synchronization, the velocity and phase controllers are designed by employing discrete-time sliding mode control. An experimental system for control synchronization is designed, including hardware composition and software programming. For the feedback signal used to match control targets, a method of calculating velocity and the phase difference is proposed from engineering. Recording the rotational velocities, phase differences, and system response, three group experiments with different control schemes are achieved. According to the experimental data, the coupling characteristic of the vibration system adopting control synchronization is analyzed, which can provide the basis for designing vibration machines using control synchronization.
