Distribution Performance Analysis and Experimental Research on the Port Plate Pairs of Low Speed High Torque Seawater Hydraulic Motor

The current research of seawater hydraulic motor mainly focused on piston motor and vane motor, but seldom regarded low speed high torque seawater hydraulic motor. Low speed high torque seawater hydraulic motor as a kind of energy conversion device and actuator plays an important role in seawater hydraulic transmission system. However, the physical and chemical properties of seawater, such as low viscosity, high causticity and poor lubrication, result in numerous problems. In this paper, the flow distribution characteristics of port plate pairs for the seawater hydraulic motor are investigated, and the leakage flow and power loss models of port plate pairs are established. Numerical simulations are carried out to examine the effects of water film, inlet pressure and rotating speed on the pressure distribution and leakage flow. And the friction and wear tests of port plate pairs are also carried out. Moreover, the test system of the seawater hydraulic motor is constructed and the performance of prototype with no-load or loading is conducted. The results indicate that the clearance of port plate pairs and inlet pressure have a significant effect on distribution characteristics, but the effect of rotating speed is not very obvious. The experimental results show that the minimum error rate can be maintained within 0.3% by the proposed flow model and the counter materials of 316 L against carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone(CFRPEEK) are suitable for the port plate pairs of seawater hydraulic motor. Finally, based on the seawater hydraulic experiment platform, the volumetric efficiency of no-load and loading are obtained that the maximum can achieve 94.71% and 90.14%, respectively. This research work may improve the flow distribution performance, lubrication and the friction and wear properties, enhance energy converting efficiency of port plate pair and provide theoretical and technical support for the design of highperformance water hydraulic components.

Performances of a Balanced Hydraulic Motor with Planetary Gear Train

The current research of a balanced hydraulic motor focuses on the characteristics of the motor with three planet gears.References of a balanced hydraulic motor with more than three planet gears are hardly found.In order to study the characteristics of a balanced hydraulic motor with planetary gear train that includes more than three planet gears,on the basis of analysis of the structure and working principle of a balanced hydraulic motor with planetary gear train,formulas are deduced for calculating the hydraulic motor＇s primary performance indexes such as displacement,unit volume displacement,flowrate fluctuation ratio,etc.Influences of the gears＇ tooth number on displacement and flowrate characteristics are analyzed.In order to guarantee the reliability of sealing capability,the necessary conditions that tooth number of the sun gear and the planet gears should satisfy are discussed.Selecting large unit volume displacement and small displacement fluctuation ratio as designing objectives,a balanced hydraulic motor with three planet gears and a common gear motor are designed under the conditions of same displacement,tooth addendum coefficien and clearance coefficient.By comparing the unit volume displacement and fluctuation ratio of the two motors,it can be seen that the balanced hydraulic motor with planetary gear train has the advantages of smaller fluctuation ratio and larger unit volume displacement.The results provide theoretical basis for choosing gear tooth-number of this kind of hydraulic motor.

Analysis of force and leakage in water hydraulic motor's piston pairs

The positive pressure between pistonwall and piston hole of inner curve water hydraulic motor’s piston pairs is analyzed.The flow field of the piston pairs is numerically calculated and analyzed by the use of computational fluid dynamics method.The pressure and velocity distribution of flow field at different clearance is analyzed in the paper.The results show that when the clearance is 4-8 μm,with the increase of clearance,the negative pressure and the velocity of piston chamber decrease significantly,the velocity and leakage flow of the clearance increase.However,when the clearance is 10 μm,the negative pressure and the velocity of plunger chamber increase suddenly.By comprehensive analysis,the cylinder annular clearance should be controlled to be near 8 μm.

Deformation pre-compensated optimization design of cam ring for low pulsation hydraulic motors

Cam-lobe radial-piston hydraulic motors are widely used in large machinery due to their excellent capability to withstand high loading at low speed.However,the line contact between the roller and cam ring generates elastic deformation of the cam ring under high loading,leading to obvious speed and torque pulsations and even the detrimental crawl problem of hydraulic motors.To address this issue,we propose a deformation pre-compensated optimization design approach to compensate for the cam ring deformation in advance,thereby eliminating the influence of cam ring deformation on the hydraulic motor’s pulsation.In this approach,the design process is divided into two steps:first,the overall profile of the cam ring is optimized based on the calculated elastic deformation;second,the local profile of cam ring is further optimized until the hydraulic motor’s pulsations no longer reduce.Finally,a case study is carried out to verify the effectiveness of this approach.The result indicates the pulsation rate of a deformation pre-compensated cam ring is 40%lower than that of an uncompensated one.This study offers an easy and feasible way to design an optimized cam ring profile for low pulsation hydraulic motors.

Research on Hydraulic System of Hydraulic Driven Garden Pulverizer Based on AMESim Simulation

To analyze a certain type of trees crusher working condition, to consider the limitation of electric, the motor driven pulverizer can only work in a fixed place. Therefore, a set of hydraulic system is used to replace the motor. So it can get rid of electricity, and move conveniently, applying to the suburbs, parks, roadsides, which means expanding the range of application. Secondly, in view of the pulverizer speed higher than the motor speed, it is necessary to add the auxiliary speed regulating device. Besides , to adjust speed is more troublesome, and the hydraulic motor can directly drive the pulverizer. Therefore to adjust the flow of the hydraulic motor can change the speed of the pulverizer. In addition, base on the characteristics of work start, and stop, with a long time, big moment of inertia for Pulverizer, and it is the growth process of the motor driving pulverizer. The rotary inertia equivalent to the motor end will increase the square of the reduce ratio, and the load of the machine obviously. Driving by hydraulic motor straightly, and this problem will be avoided. Finally, in the light of the large start-up torque, and the high speed at working time of the pulverizer, the constant power pumps is choosed to meet the work demand. Constant power pumps can adjust the flow and pressure according to the different load automatically, thus more energy are saved. Hydraulic system simulation model is established based on the AMESim simulation, which verify the scheme is feasible

A seventh-order model for dynamic response of an electro-hydraulic servo valve

In this paper, taking two degrees of freedom on the armature–flapper assembly into account, a seventh-order model is deduced and proposed for the dynamic response of a two-stage electro-hydraulic servo valve from nonlinear equations. These deductions are based on fundamental laws of electromagnetism, fluid, and general mechanics. The coefficients of the proposed seventhorder model are derived in terms of servo valve physical parameters and fluid properties explicitly.For validating the results of the proposed model, an AMESim simulation model based on physical laws and the existing low-order models validated by other researchers through experiments are used to compare with the seventh-order model. The results show that the seventh-order model can reflect the physical behavior of the servo valve more explicitly than the existing low-order models and it could provide guidance more easily for a linear control design approach and sensitivity analysis than the AMESim simulation model.

A fault-tolerant triple-redundant voice coil motor for direct drive valves:Design, optimization, and experiment

A direct drive actuator （DDA） with direct drive valves （DDVs） as the control device is an ideal solution for a flight actuation system. This paper presents a novel triple-redundant voice coil motor （TRVCM） used for redundant DDVs. The TRVCM features electrical/mechanical hybrid triple-redundancy by securing three stators along with three moving coils in the same frame. A permanent magnet （PM） Halbach array is employed in each redundant VCM to simplify the system structure. A back-to-back design between neighborly redundancies is adopted to decouple the magnetic flux linkage. The particle swarm optimization （PSO） method is implemented to optimize design parameters based on the analytical magnetic circuit model. The optimization objective function is defined as the acceleration capacity of the motor to achieve high dynamic performance. The optimal geometric parameters are verified with 3D magnetic field finite element analysis （FEA）. A research prototype has been developed for experimental purpose. The experimental results of magnetic field density and force output show that the proposed TRVCM has great potential of applications in DDA systems.

The purpose of this paper is to develop an implementable strategy of brake energy recovery for a parallel hydraulic hybrid bus. Based on brake process analysis, a dynamic programming algorithm of brake energy recovery is established. And then an implementable strategy of brake energy recovery is proposed by the constraint variable trajectories analysis of the dynamic programming algorithm in the typical urban bus cycle. The simulation results indicate the brake energy recovery efficiency of the accumulator can reach 60% in the dynamic programming algorithm. And the hydraulic hybrid system can output braking torque as much as possible.Moreover, the accumulator has almost equal efficiency of brake energy recovery between the implementable strategy and the dynamic programming algorithm. Therefore, the implementable strategy is very effective in improving the efficiency of brake energy recovery.The road tests show the fuel economy of the hydraulic hybrid bus improves by 22.6% compared with the conventional bus.
