Ultrasonic Obstacle Avoidance and Full-Speed-Range Hybrid Control for Intelligent Garages

In the current study, which focuses on the operational safety problem in intelligent three-dimensional garages, an obstacle avoidance measurement and control scheme for the AGV parking robot is proposed. Under the premise of high-precision distance detection using Kalman filtering, a mathematical model of a brushless DC (BLDC) motor with full-speed range hybrid control is established. MATLAB/Simulink (R2022a) is used to build the control model, which has dual closed-loop vector-controlled motors in the low- to medium-speed range, with photoelectric encoders for speed feedback. The simulation results show that, at lower to medium speeds, the maximum overshoot of the output response curve is 1.5%, and the response time is 0.01 s. However, at higher speeds, there is significant jitter in the speed output waveform. Therefore, the speed feedback is switched to a sliding mode observer (SMO) instead of the original speed sensor at high speeds. Experiments show that, based on the SMO, the problem of speed waveform jitter at high motor speeds can be significantly improved, and the BLDC motor system has strong robustness. The above shows that the motor speed under the full-speed range hybrid control system can meet the AGV control and safety requirements.
