Abstract

Intelligent thermoregulation clothing as a new type of functional clothing, the design and development of which is receiving more and more attention. PID algorithm, as a kind of classical control algorithm, realizes the precise control of the clothing temperature regulation system by adjusting the three parameters of proportionality, integration and differentiation. The control system is firstly constructed according to the principle of PID control. Then the PID controller parameters are optimized by BP neural network to improve the response speed and stability of the temperature control system. Finally, the intelligent thermoregulation garment with physical therapy and health care and portable storage is designed. Experimental verification of the parameter self-tuning PID control based on BP neural network, the BP neural network can make the temperature better maintained near the set value, the control effect is more satisfactory. The final design of the smart thermoregulation garment has a body surface temperature retention rate of 98.35% after 30 minutes at -10°C and with the heating function on. The thermal sensation evaluation of the intelligent thermoregulation garment by the subjects in different states is concentrated between “0-2”, indicating that the garment can play a more ideal temperature control effect.
