Mechatronic control system for accelerator operation in the ginning machine chambe

Abstract

This study proposes a mechatronic system concept for real-time control of the accelerator’s speed within the gin’s working chamber. The system uses an ultrasonic sensor to measure the density of cotton fractions and adjusts the motor’s rotational speed via a frequency converter, employing PID control based on motor current analysis. This approach reduces jamming and mechanical damage during cotton transport and enhances seed separation efficiency.
