What is the major of mechatronics?

Japanese business circles first put forward the concept of "mechatronics technology" around 1970. At that time, they named it "mechatronics", which is a combination of applied mechanical technology and electronic technology. With the rapid development and wide application of computer technology, mechatronics technology has achieved unprecedented development, and has become a system technology integrating computer and information technology, automatic control technology, sensing detection technology, servo drive technology and mechanical technology. At present, it is developing in the direction of optical, mechanical and electrical integration, and its application scope is getting wider and wider.

Electromechanical integration technology specifically includes the following contents:

(1) Mechanical technology Mechanical technology is the foundation of mechatronics. The key point of mechanical technology lies in how to adapt to electromechanical integration technology, use other high-tech to update ideas, realize the changes of structure, material and performance, and meet the requirements of reducing weight, reducing volume, improving accuracy, improving stiffness and improving performance. In the manufacturing process of mechatronics system, the classical mechanical theory and technology should use computer-aided technology, artificial intelligence and expert system to form a new generation of mechanical manufacturing technology.

(2) Computer and information technology

Among them, information exchange, access, operation, judgment and decision-making, artificial intelligence technology, expert system technology and neural network technology all belong to computer information processing technology.

(3) System technology

System technology is to organize and apply various related technologies with the concept of the whole, and decompose the whole into several interrelated functional units from the perspective of the whole and the system goal. Interface technology is an important aspect of system technology and the guarantee to realize the organic connection of all parts of the system.

(4) Automatic control technology

It covers a wide range. Under the guidance of control theory, the system design, system simulation after design and field debugging are carried out. Control technologies include high-precision positioning control, speed control, adaptive control, self-diagnosis and correction, compensation, copying and retrieval.

(5) Sensing detection technology

Sensing detection technology is the sensory organ of the system and the key link to realize automatic control and adjustment. The stronger its function, the higher the degree of automation of the system. Modern engineering requires that sensors can obtain information quickly and accurately, and can withstand the test of harsh environment, which is the guarantee for the electromechanical integration system to reach a high level.

(6) Servo transmission technology includes various types of transmission devices, such as electric, pneumatic and hydraulic. Servo system is a device and component that realizes the conversion from electrical signal to mechanical action, which has a decisive influence on the dynamic performance, control quality and function of the system.
