Abstract Based on the problem that the intensity of excitation source is not easy to regulate by the traditional active control method, this paper presents an accurate temperature control system based on micro-hotplate for the first time. This system realizes the active control of terahertz metamaterial functional devices, and implements various functions by using the proposed accurate temperature control process. The temperature control characteristics of micro-hotplate are introduced into the design of terahertz functional devices by taking a vanadium dioxide (VO₂ ) metamaterial absorber as an example. In this design, a silicon-based micro-hotplate is used to heat the metamaterial absorber. According to the phase transition characteristics of VO₂ , the alteration of temperature leads to conductivity change, so as to realize the active control of the absorber. At the same time, this paper also analyzes the heating and cooling time of the micro-hotplate. The simulation results show that, by using the micro-hotplate to heat the metamaterial functional devices, the temperature adjustment speed is reasonably high and the controllable performance is excellent. The test results shows that the surface temperature can be controlled between 40 ℃ and 80 ℃ , and the temperature difference of the working area can be kept within 1℃ . The temperature control of the micro-hotplate is accurately controlled, resulting in the great performance of the metamaterial functional devices.

the temperature control accuracy of polymer melt is the main factor affecting quality precision of final products. In this paper, we study the method of improving the precision of temperature control based on control system of micro injection molding machine. In order to avoid big overshoot in the traditional PID control, we use gradual approximation control method based on gradual approximation mathematical algorithm to realize fast and accurate temperature control of the micro injection molding machine. Experiment results show that effective combination of the traditional PID and gradual approximation method can realize accurate temperature control of micro injection molding machine, and precision of temperature control can be improved up to±0.5°C.

In recent years, thermal processing systems with integrated temperature control have been increasingly needed to achieve high quality and high performance. In this paper, responding to the growing demands for proper transient response and to provide more accurate temperature controls, a novel slow-mode-based control (SMBC) method is proposed for multi-point temperature control systems. In the proposed method, the temperature differences and the transient response of all points can be controlled and improved by making the output of the fast modes follow that of the slow mode. Both simulations and experiments were carried out, and the results were compared to conventional control methods in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Tobacco Warehousing is chiefly applied to preserve the tobacco that is separated into leaf and stem so that the tobacco moisture is controlled at the range of technology demand.The present control method of tobacco save is that the references of every PID control link are set up and adjusted by human experience. So, the control effect varies with the individual and the output tobacco moisture can't maintain stable.The fuzzy-PID temperature system is based on CC2430 single chip. It includes the power source, the manipulative algorithm, the temperature examination , the correspondence of up PC and the output-control of the switch value and so on. Computer takes the parameter deviation and the deviation change as input, and the PID controllers parameters of ΔKp, Δki, ΔKd as output. The sub program realized the corresponding events by completing zone bit and zone bit judgment. The main program realized temperature control function by calling the wireless micro-controller sends a signal to the charged unit
