  • Publication number: 20240111062
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polarization fusion orientation method for an occluded environment, which comprises: acquiring a sky polarization image through a polarization camera first, then taking a heading angle output by an E-vector polarization orientation method as a state quantity, taking a heading angle output by a symmetry axis polarization orientation method as an observed quantity, realizing heading angle fusion through a multi-frequency variational Bayesian strong tracking cubature Kalman filter (MF-VBSTCKF), and respectively selecting different methods for a sampling position and a sampling interval period to update an optimal heading angle. The method solves the problem that high-precision and high-robustness heading angle measurement of polarized light cannot be realized in the occluded environment, can improve the precision and robustness of a polarized light orientation method in the occluded environment, and ensures high-frequency output of the heading angle at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20240003357
    Abstract: The present application provides a centrifugal compressor for a refrigeration system and a refrigeration system. The centrifugal compressor has a reverse braking function and comprises: a rotor shaft; a compressor impeller connected to the rotor shaft; a brake component on the rotor shaft, wherein a periphery of the brake component is made of magnetic conductive material; a plurality of sets of electromagnets fixedly arranged at radial outward of the brake component; a sensor device for sensing a rotational speed and direction of the rotor shaft; and a controller connected to the sensor device, wherein the controller receives signals from the sensor device and supplies power to the plurality of sets of electromagnets based on the signals. The centrifugal compressor and refrigeration system according to the various embodiments effectively suppress the reverse rotation of the compressor rotor shaft caused by the reverse airflow during unexpected shutdown.
