Abstract:The feeding precision of screw feeder is determined by various factors, such as the rotational speed, filling rate and so on. It is usually difficult to calculate the accurate feeding quantity through a precise mathematical model. In this paper, we predicted the feeding quantity through machine learning based on three factors. The most important factor was the rotational angle, the other two factors were rotational speed and filling rate. The least squares support vector machine(LS-SVM)was used to learn the nonlinear relationship between the feeding quantity and these factors. To achieve the best performance, the parameters of LS-SVM were tuned through the cross-validation. A real feeding experiment was carried out to verify our method. The experimental results demonstrate that the prediction values of LS-SVM are consistent with the real values. Moreover, the precision of our LS-SVM is better than the estimation from theoretical calculation and BPNN. The prediction error of our method is only ±0.02 if the filling rate is close to 1. In summary, our method has high precision and can be applied to the control of screw feeder.
