For each segment, an additional virtual joint with spring and damper elements is introduced. The spring and damping constants are chosen so that the deflection and the first natural frequency of the real segment are maintained.
  • the model of the distributor boom is composed of several segments. The rigidity of the overall structure results from the rigidity of the individual segments. Since the overall structure is composed of several segments, higher natural frequencies are also reproduced.
  • This type of modeling represents a physically motivated discretization of the infinitely dimensional, elastic distribution mast.
  • the advantage is that well-developed and efficient rigid body formalisms can be used for modeling.
  • the resulting model also has a relatively low system order. Unlike a modal model reduction, the system state of the virtual joints continues to be a physical variable. It describes the concentrated deflection and vibration of the segment.
  • the observer uses the inputs and outputs of the system to reconstruct the system state x .
  • the inputs of the system u are the setpoints of the hydraulics.
  • the outputs y are the measured values of the position and the vibration status of the distributor boom. Due to the fusion of the various measurement signals, the robustness of the vibration damping improves compared to the measuring principle-related drift phenomena of the rotation rate sensor.
  • the model-based observer also ensures that the measurement signal of the rotation rate sensors is divided into the separate parts of the joint movement and the oscillation.
  • the control selectively dampens the structural vibrations without influencing the setpoint movement.
  • the observer gain L is determined by a suitable method such. As Polvorgabe or selected by a Kalman filter.
  • the poles are positioned in the complex half-plane so that the damping of the system increases.
  • the vibrations in the distribution boom are thus damped.
  • the controller receives the estimated state of the observer x, amplifies the signals and supplies them as setpoints of the hydraulics (see Fig. 4 ).
  • the control gain K is determined by a suitable method such as. Polvorgabe or optimization-based method (LQR) is calculated.
  • the observer and controller design process described above applies to a specific equilibrium position of the distributor boom. For a change in the mast position, therefore, the design process is repeated and adapted to the current position. By tracking the control parameters, the functionality of the vibration damping is ensured for each mast position.
  • the vibration damping can also be used for vibrations in the horizontal plane.
  • the hydraulic motor on the mast block acts as an actuator.
  • the pole position around the vertical axis is detected by an angle encoder.
  • the rotation angle sensors for vibration measurement are executed or expanded in this case by a detection direction in the horizontal plane and torsion.
  • the sensors are mounted on one or more segments and measure the rate of rotation about the vertical axis and the longitudinal axis.
  • the dynamic model of the distributor boom (Section 5.3.3) is supplemented by a horizontal component.
  • the virtual joints in the segments are designed as multi-axis hinges that detect bending in the horizontal plane and torsion.
  • the rotation around the vertical axis is taken into account by a hinge on the turntable.
  • the type and structure of the model are retained against section 5.3.3.
  • an observer and a feedback gain are designed for the linearized extended model.
  • a separate horizontal vibration damping or a combined vertical and horizontal vibration damping can be implemented.
  • the model-based observer ensures that the measurement signal of the rotation rate sensors divided into the separate portions of the Hochachsenfest and the vibration.
  • the control selectively dampens the structural vibrations of horizontal bending and torsion without affecting the setpoint movement.
  • the movement specifications of the operator are explicitly taken into account by the vibration damping. That is, the desired movement is allowed by the scheme and dampened only the superimposed structural vibrations.
  • a pilot control is also provided. This calculates from the setpoint of the operator control signals that perform the desired mast movement and thereby stimulate no vibration.
  • a notch filter is used which, depending on the current mast position, suppresses the natural frequencies of the distributor mast during the movement (see Fig. 3 ).
  • the setpoint signals for the hydraulics are converted by a subordinate axis control on the cylinders.
  • the axis control converts a nominal angular velocity preset u of the joints into the translatory actual velocity of the cylinders.
  • the deflection kinematics as well as nonlinearities of the hydraulics are taken into account by a pilot control (see Fig. 5 ).
  • a measure of the feedback can be carried out either the pressure, the cylinder position or the cylinder speed.
  • the cylinder speed can also be calculated from the position via a separate signal processing.
  • the cylinders transmit the force F u to the distributor boom and thus generate a movement of the joints.
  • the axis control is as described above decentralized and separately subordinate each joint.
  • the advantage of disturbance variable over traditional oscillation damping is that the disturbances can be compensated before they affect the system. That is, the excitation of concrete production is eliminated before it is visible as vibration in the distribution boom.
  • the objective of feedforward control is thus the reduction of vibrations in the distribution boom on the basis of characteristic measured variables of concrete extraction.
  • the measured variables describe the state of concrete conveyance and not the vibration state of the distributor boom.
  • Typical measures of concrete delivery are the pressure at the inlet of the delivery line, the frequency of the pumping process and the position and speed of the delivery piston.
  • the disturbing forces on the placing boom are reconstructed via a model of concrete conveyance and switched to the actuators.
  • the gain can be designed to eliminate the influence of disturbance forces on a specific point of the distribution boom.
  • the mast tip is selected to keep the position of the end tube calm and constant.
  • the modeling of concrete conveyance maps the concrete flow in the delivery line from the feed pump in the vehicle to the end hose at the top of the mast.
  • the flow-related disturbance forces of concrete conveyance on the distribution mast are calculated.
  • the boundary layer acts like a lubricating film and reduces the friction forces in the wall area.
  • Other factors include the variable level factor in the delivery piston and the amount of dissolved air in the concrete.
  • the uncertainty and variability of the factors mentioned above make direct, pure substance-based modeling difficult. For this reason, modeling based on measurements is proposed. The basic idea is to dispense with the exact mapping of the flow conditions within the pipe and instead only to consider the forces acting on the pipe wall.
  • the approach uses an equivalent Newtonian fluid to model the frictional and inertial forces of the fluid on the tube wall.
  • the material properties of the equivalent fluid are determined from the measured quantities of concrete production.
  • at least the viscosity of the equivalent fluid is determined from the concrete pressure and the flow rate of the concrete.
  • the density of the equivalent fluid is a stored average for the density of concrete.
  • the output variables of the model are the concentrated disturbance forces F d in each joint of the concrete pump (see Fig. 6 ).
  • the effect of the concentrated disturbance forces F d is calculated via a coupling with a mechanical model of the distribution boom.
  • the mechanical model takes into account the dynamic and elastic deformation of the segments under the influence of the disturbing forces over the entire distribution boom.
  • the coupled model of concrete conveyance and distributor boom is used for the design of a model-based dynamic disturbance variable application.
  • the model is extended by a control loop for reducing the disturbance variables in the distribution boom (see disturbance model control loop in Fig. 8 ).
  • the real route is not regulated, but only the "virtual" model. This has advantages for the control design, since no track uncertainties or disturbances occur.
  • the entire state vector is available without the use of an observer.
  • the control is designed so that the influence of the disturbing forces on the top of the mast is minimized.
  • the feedforward control is combined with traditional vibration damping to compensate for oscillations from the movement of the mast and uncertainties in the modeling.
  • the vibration damping is based on the measurement and the return of the position and the vibration state of the distribution boom.
  • the control is designed in such a way that the manipulated variables of the feedforward control u d act unhindered on the line.
  • the vibration damping only intervenes if the states of the real route deviate from the states of the virtual model.
  • the hydraulic pressure of the delivery cylinder can be measured.
  • the corresponding concrete pressure results from a conversion with the piston area ratio.
  • the flow rate of the concrete from the speed of the delivery cylinder can be determined.

  • the periodicity of concrete production is used to establish a modal model of the disturbance forces.
  • the model is composed of the fundamental frequency and its multiples.
  • the individual states simulate the vibrational form of the disturbance variable as modal coordinates.
  • a modal coordinate has no physical meaning, but only reflects the proportion of the respective frequency at the waveform of the disturbance.
  • the disturbance forces are estimated by a disturbance observer or an asymptotic disturbance compensation from the measurements of the distribution boom.
  • the estimation methods are based on the inner model principle.
  • the principle defines that a stable control loop can completely suppress a disturbance only if it has an internal model of the disturbance signal.
  • the model It is border stable and consists only of conjugate complex pairs of poles of the frequencies on the imaginary axis of the complex half-plane.
  • the observer or the asymptotic noise compensation the initial state of the modal model is adapted from the measurement signals of the distribution boom. This corresponds to an estimate of the unknown amplitude and phase position of the disturbing forces.
  • the greater number of frequencies takes more time to learn the present waveform.
  • a transient motion occurs, the amplitude of which increases with the number of frequencies.
  • the number of frequencies must be selected so that on the one hand the disturbance is mapped sufficiently accurate and on the other hand, the transient response occurs briefly and with low amplitude.
  • the reconstructed disturbance variables are applied to the actuators of the distributor mast via a controller (see Fig. 9 ).
  • the feedforward control is combined with a vibration damping based on the measured variables of the distributor boom y in order to ensure the stability of the system.
  • the states of the system are estimated based on the model of the distribution boom and the disturbance model by the disturbance observer.
