An Optimized Pulse-Counting Method for Compensation Vector Calculation in the Automatic Balancer

الملخص EN

The accuracy of the counterweight positions in an automatic balancing system deeply affects dynamic balancing.

Compensation vector is synthesized by the two counterweights located in the electromagnetic dual-weight automatic balancer.

Therefore, if the position of the counterweight is inaccurate, it may result in a wrong adjustment and a larger imbalance of the rotor system.

In this paper, an optimized pulse counting method for compensation vector calculation in an electromagnetic dual-weight balancing system is proposed based on a programmable logic controller (PLC).

A propeller automatic balancing simulation test bench is used to verify the effect of the method by obtaining the positions of the counterweights and synthesizing the compensation vector in the working mode.

The error is less than 1/80 which means that it does not exceed one step in the 80-position-balancer at 1200 rpm.

The proposed control system can work without computers or high-speed data acquisition equipment, which improves the stability and flexibility of the control system, facilitates the design of the automatic balancing system, and shows excellent potential for industrial applications.
