description This paper introduces a control method tailored for the speed regulation of monorail cranes in coal mines. Initially, an analysis of the structure and load conditions of the monorail crane drive components is conducted to calculate the traction force, clamping force, and target travel speed across varying operational scenarios. Subsequently, the hydraulic system schematic of the monorail crane is analyzed to develop a mathematical model for speed control, enabling the assessment of system stability using transfer functions. A simulation model of the monorail crane speed control loop is then created in AMESim, where fuzzy adaptive PID controllers and MPC controllers are optimized in a collaborative simulation with Simulink. Experimental findings reveal that in a single acceleration condition, both controllers demonstrate superior dynamic response compared to a traditional PID controller, with the MPC controller exhibiting an overshoot of merely 8.9%. In speed variation conditions, the MPC controller achieved a settling time in the range of 0.26–0.3 s. Notably, the MPC controller displays a maximum overshoot of 11%, substantially enhancing the dynamic response performance of speed regulation in monorail cranes.
