Abstract

Accurate real-time pneumatic flow estimation offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive, bulky flow meters, yet persistent challenges stem from complex valve environments, high nonlinearity, and stringent precision requirements. This paper introduces a novel control framework integrating fuzzy PID dynamic tuning with adaptive wavelet threshold denoising, synergistically optimizing fuzzy PID and improved wavelet transform (IWT) to simultaneously enhance control accuracy and signal quality. Experimental validation demonstrates a 35% reduction in spool displacement overshoot versus conventional PID control. IWT integration improves flow estimation signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 65% relative to hard/soft thresholding methods while reducing root mean square error (RMSE) by 49%. The approach significantly outperforms mainstream techniques in dynamic response and noise immunity, enabling precise proportional valve flow measurement. This algorithm-driven strategy replaces high-cost sensors, reducing industrial maintenance requirements. Especially applicable to electromagnetic pneumatic systems in harsh environments, it establishes a reliable framework for proportional valve flow control.
