Dynamic modeling of dry non-woven fabric roller carding and control of web density uniformity. I. Precisely industrial controller design

This series of paper discussed the dynamic modeling of non-woven fabric roller carding and the control of web density uniformity. The dynamic system of dry non-woven fabric roller carding was set up to analyze the dynamic model; then in the process of derivation, theoretical exploration and studies were carried out on one carding unit in the system, consisting of cylinder, worker roller, stripper roller. After that, we probed into the relation between rotation angle and angular velocity of carding unit, and analyzed the time-delay of carding unit. With Pade approximation, the time-delay was taken as the simplification of the system model. The above conditions were utilized to derive the transfer function of carding unit and it was extended to the dry non-woven fabric roller carding system combining four of carding units, feed roller, take-in and doffer in series to obtain the transfer function of this whole system. After confirmed by the designed controller, the system was obviously improved in its tracking property. The steady-state error was also eliminated. Meanwhile, with the participation of the controller, this system might produce the maximum overshoot during its transient response. Therefore, this research regulated the reference input according to the designed dominant poles. This combination scheme effectively control the occurrence of the maximum overshoot and make for good system objectives.
