Vibration harmonic suppression technology for electromagnetic vibrators based on an improved sensorless feedback control method

Abstract

To realize low harmonic distortion of the vibration waveform output from electromagnetic vibrators, we propose a vibration harmonic suppression technology based on an improved sensorless feedback control method. Without changing the original driving circuit, the alternating current (AC) equivalent resistance of the driving coil is used to obtain high-precision vibration velocity information, and then a simple and reliable velocity feedback control system is established. Through the study of the effect of different values of key parameters on the system, we have achieved an effective expansion of the velocity characteristic frequency band of low-frequency vibration, resulting in an enhanced harmonic suppression capability of velocity feedback control. We present extensive experiments to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method and make comparisons with conventional control methods. In the frequency range of 0.01–1.00 Hz, without using any sensors, the method proposed in this study can reduce the harmonic distortion of the vibration waveform by about 40% compared to open-loop control and by about 20% compared to a conventional sensorless feedback control method.
