Experimental Study on the Active Control and Dynamic Characteristics of Electromagnetic Active–Passive Hybrid Vibration Isolation System

Abstract

Targeting the problems of conventional active–passive hybrid vibration isolation systems, such as low output force, poor bearing capacity, large power loss and inability to withstand strong impacts, this paper proposes an active–passive hybrid vibration isolation system combining an electromagnetic actuator, rubber passive vibration isolator and magnetorheological damper. The overall design of the hybrid vibration isolation system is first introduced. Then, a two-dimensional electromagnetic frequency-domain simulation is carried out on the electromagnetic actuator to obtain the output characteristics. A three-dimensional modeling is conducted to simulate the electromagnetic–mechanical coupling in the time–frequency domain to obtain nephograms of the magnetic flux diffusion distribution and power loss. Then, a dynamic stiffness test is carried out on the rubber vibration isolator to obtain the dynamic stiffness characteristics and the damping angle curve. At the same time, an adaptive suppression filtered-x least mean square (ASFXLMS) algorithm is proposed to adjust the update of the control weight coefficients to ensure that the current signal does not exceed the effective operating range of the actuator when the electromagnetic actuator is subjected to strong external disturbances. Finally, a hybrid vibration isolation system-based active vibration isolation experimental platform is built, and multifrequency line spectra active–passive vibration isolation experiments are carried out. The results demonstrate that the hybrid vibration isolation system has good control effects in the time–frequency domain and shows good robustness when subjected to impact.
