Method for controlling a process for automatically pouring molten metal, a system for controlling a servomotor of an automatic pouring apparatus, and a medium for recording programs for controlling a tilting of a ladle

摘要

A method for controlling a ladle to pour molten metal into a mold. The method comprises producing a mathematical model describing a relationship between a measured electrical voltage supplied to a servomotor for tilting the ladle and a flow rate of the molten metal flowing out of the ladle when the ladle is tilted; solving an inverse problem of the mathematical model; estimating the flow rate of the molten metal using a state observer having an exponential damping that uses an extended Kalman filter, based on the measured electrical voltage and a weight of the molten metal poured into the mold; processing the flow rate of the molten metal and a target flow rate of the molten metal with a gain-scheduled PI controller; obtaining a target electrical voltage to be supplied to the servomotor; and controlling the servomotor based on the target electrical voltage.
