報告簡介：In conventional automotive throttle systems, the motion of throttle plate is controlled only by the intent of drivers via a rod linkage or cable. However, many issues such as aging and wearing of mechanical structures inevitably cause safety hazard. With the introduction of electronic throttle valve (ETV) system, not only the safety is improved due to the removal of mechanical connections, but also the engine efficiency and practicability are significantly enhanced since the throttle position is optimized by electronic control unit based on the trade-off between the driver request and drivability, safety and emission constraints. The control task is to enable the throttle plate to precisely track the reference position generated by the pedal, which is a quite challenging work due to parametric variations and nonlinear dynamics excited by friction in transmission, return spring limp-home, gear backlash, and external perturbations during engine operation.
In this talk, we will introduce an adaptive recursive terminal sliding mode (RTSM)-based tracking control scheme for an ETV. The developed RTSM dynamical structure for the controller is composed of a fast nonsingular terminal sliding surface and a recursive integral terminal sliding function, such that not only is the reaching phase eliminated, but also a sequential finite-time zero-convergence of both the recursive sliding surfaces and position tracking error are guaranteed. Due to the difficulty in ensuring a satisfactory tracking performance for a broad range of operation conditions, an adaptive mechanism is further embedded to estimate both the lumped uncertainty bound and the sliding mode parameters. Real-time comparative experiments are conducted to verify that the proposed control enjoys a fast finite-time convergence and superior robustness with respect to uncertainties and disturbances.
