Abstract
The hydraulic servo valve orifice becomes blunted due to erosion caused by solid particle contaminants in the oil, leading to a decline in the valve's static and dynamic performance. This study analyzes the working edge scanning model and proposes using a quarter-ellipse curve to fit the working edge contour for the precise calculation of the valve orifice area. Through AMESim simulation, this study investigates the relationship between valve orifice erosion and the static and dynamic characteristics of hydraulic servo slide valves and proposes a variable gain control method for addressing valve orifice erosion. Results show that the orifice area model based on the quarter elliptic curve is accurate. As erosion increases, the nonlinear area of the valve orifice curve expands, and the valve orifice degrades into a positive opening. The ratio of the long diameter to the short diameter of the ellipse is approximately linearly related to the pressure gain and leakage in the static characteristics of the hydraulic servo valve. After variable gain control, the static and dynamic characteristics of the servo valve closely resemble those of an ideal servo valve, with the maximum deviation between the flow characteristics and the ideal valve orifice approximately 1 %. Regarding pressure characteristics, the pressure drop before the zero position is below 0.2 MPa. This study establishes the internal relationship between orifice erosion and performance degradation and provides a novel approach to enhancing the erosion resistance of hydraulic servo valves.
期刊介绍:
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions.
FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest:
Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible.
Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems.
Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories.
Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
