First, the current of the ball mill is detected by the current transmitter, and after the fuzzy operation, the optimal set value of the current ore amount is obtained. In order to compensate for the ore feeding error of the mining machine, a feedback link for the ore is added, and the actual ore amount is detected by the electronic belt scale, and the set value obtained by the fuzzy calculation is compared, and the error is PID adjusted. Therefore, a cascade control system with fuzzy control and PID adjustment is constructed. The main loop of the system adopts the fuzzy control algorithm to optimize the set value of the ore. The secondary loop uses the PID controller to achieve stable ore feeding. Ma Yingxi constructed a fuzzy rule base based on historical data samples.
