Automation of the Design of the Working Mechanism and Control System for Regulating the Cleaning of Channels and Ditches
摘要
The goal and research issues of the article were identified based on the analysis of the problem. The aim of the work is to study the design of the working mechanism and the process of regulating technological operations for cleaning channels and ditches using computer experiments. The design of the working mechanism of the cleaning device for channels and ditches, along with the 3D constructor project of the regulatory information-measuring elements, was proposed. For the automation of the operations of the cleaning device’s working mechanism, an analysis of technological operations was conducted, determining the necessary speed of rotation for the milling throwing element, as well as the functions for collecting plants on the water’s surface and throwing them over a distance. The issue of regulating the technological operations of the cleaning device’s working mechanism was posed based on the GMT Suite logistics controller, and the modern features and stages of the software’s application were defined. The visualization of the optimization algorithm for the milling cutter-throwing element’s operation was provided in the GMT Suite software environment. Based on the dynamic characteristics of the working mechanism of the cleaning device, linguistic variables used at the controller input for automatic regulation were determined for conducting computer experiments. A control algorithm was developed based on fuzzy linguistic terms for the movement speed of the working mechanism’s milling cutter element, the number of revolutions of the throwing element, the number of blades, and the soil moisture. Graphs of the program were built based on the accepted terms and intermediate values related to the working mechanism’s milling cutter element speed. Control rules for determining the designated throwing distance based on fuzzy terms were established, and corresponding graphs were created.
