    Abstract: A shear box of shear rheology experiment of a soft rock for simulating the coupling of the rainfall seepage and blasting vibration includes an upper shear box, a lower shear box, a normally-loading indenter, a normally-loading cushion block and a test piece joint. The upper shear box is tightly connected to the lower shear box by a vertical roll. The vertical roll passes through the through holes at both sides of the upper shear box and is engaged with the lower shear box through female thread connection holes. The normally-loading indenter passes through a circular through hole and presses against the normally-loading cushion block. The first end of the test piece joint is installed into a water or gas outlet hole, and the second end of the test piece joint is directly mortised into a rock test piece.

  • Patent number: 10936770
    Abstract: A mathematical model between the optimization objects and the optimization objectives is established, with finite-time control parameters as optimization objects, and a total harmonic distortion of an output voltage, a deviation signal of a capacitor voltage and a deviation signal of an output current of BBMC as optimization objectives. A multi-objective optimization satisfaction function and a multi-objective optimization fitness function are established. Multiple sets of optimal finite-time control parameters are iteratively optimized using an adaptive wolf pack algorithm. Functional relationships between respective optimal finite-time control parameters and the corresponding actual output current of BBMC are obtained using a numerical fitting method. Optimal control parameters corresponding to any load are obtained according to the obtained functional relationships.

  • Patent number: 10915692
    Abstract: Taking parameters of a main circuit in a BBMC as optimization objects, and a total harmonic distortion of an output voltage of the BBMC, a deviation between an actual output current and a corresponding rated output current as optimization objectives, a mathematical model between optimization objects and optimization objectives is established. A multi-objective optimization satisfaction function and a multi-objective optimization fitness function are established by selecting a current rating as a rated output current of the BBMC. An adaptive wolf pack optimization algorithm is adopted to obtain a set of optimal parameters of the main circuit. The rated output current is changed to obtain n sets of optimal parameters, and functional relationships between the optimal parameters of the main circuit in the BBMC are obtained using a numerical fitting method. Optimal parameters of the main circuit corresponding to different current ratings are determined according to the functional relationships.

  • Publication number: 20200343843
    Abstract: An actual rotation speed of the asynchronous motor is detected according to the given rotation speed thereof. A given voltage of the asynchronous motor is obtained according to a vector control algorithm and a PI-IP control algorithm and is used as a reference output voltage of the BBMC. A duty cycle of a power switch tube in the BBMC is obtained according to a finite-time control algorithm by taking capacitor voltages and inductor currents in the BBMC as control variables of the speed regulation system. The conducting time of the power switch tube in the BBMC is controlled according to the duty cycle and an output control signal of a corresponding switching cycle, so that an output voltage consistent with its reference output voltage is obtained at an output end of the BBMC, so that the actual rotation speed of the asynchronous motor accurately tracks the given speed.
