DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LARGE FLOW RATING ELECTROHYDRAULIC PROPORTIONAL CARTRIDGE VALVE

A kind of cartridge servo proportional valve is discussed, which can be used for controlling large flow rate with high performance. By analyzing the structure principle of the valve, the transfer fimction of the valve is derived. With the transfer function, some structure elements that may affect its performance are investigated. Through the numerical simulation and test study, some principles of optimality and effective methods for improving the dynamic performance of the valve are proposed. The test results conform to the results of the theoretical analysis and simulation, which proves the correctness of the study and simulation works. The paper provides theoretical basis for engineering applications and series expanding design works

Design of a 70 MPa Two-Way Proportional Cartridge Valve for Large-Size Hydraulic Forging Press

For an ultra-high-pressure hydraulic transmission system of a large-size hydraulic forging press(LHFP),a 70 MPa two-way proportional cartridge valve has been developed to improve the power weight ratio of the hydraulic forging press.In this study,a nominal diameter 25 mm(DN25)cartridge valve is taken as the research object.A longer concentric cylindrical annular gap is set to effectively prevent the ultra-high-pressure oil from flowing to the pilot stage and a seated valve structure is set to form the linear sealing zone in the closing state of the main valve port.Electric-displacement feedback is adopted to realize precise control of the main valve port flow and the features of this valve are investigated.In order to verify the strength and static and dynamic characteristics,the finite element model and a simulation model of the valve proposed above are built.There is a little deformation which does not affect the main valve spool movement,and the main valve port flow meets the design demands.Then,the prototype of DN2570 TPCV is manufactured and a ultra-high-pressure experimental platform is developed.The experimental results show that the DN2570 TPCV designed in this study has the advantage of fast response,high control precision,and low leakage,which can meet the requirements of LHFPs.

Lateral Force Characteristics of Cartridge Valve Core

The flow field of eccentric conical crevices is formed into the working process of hydraulic valves.Therefore, the valve core is readily subjected to a large lateral force which affects the dynamic response speed.Here, a new type of cartridge valve core structure is proposed to solve this problem. The numerical simulationmethod is applied to analyze the flow characteristics of clearance flow field on velocity distribution, pressuredistribution, valve core motion speed, and leakage. The results using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) showthat the guide groove is set on the surface of the cartridge valve core, increasing the connecting length of thevalve core, forming a uniform radial pressure distribution and velocity distribution, effectively reducing the lateralforce, and at the same time ensuring that the leak is not too big. These findings provide theoretical guidance anda basis for optimizing cartridge valve to reduce the occurrence of jamming and improve the response frequency.
