Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of hydraulic transmission and its control, and particularly relates to a pump-valve combined control EHA device suitable for negative load. BACKGROUND

[0002] A typical electrical-hydraulic actuator (EHA) is mainly composed of a motor, a hydraulic pump, a safety valve, an actuator cylinder and an oil tank, has the characteristics of high integration degree, compact structure and high efficiency, and is widely used in aircraft rudder systems. However, due to the slow response speed of the motor and the pump, it is difficult to meet the requirements of high response frequency occasions. In order to improve the response frequency of the system, domestic scholars proposed a technical scheme of pump-valve combined EHA, which combines a high-frequency response servo valve control system with a pump control system, adjusts the working process of pump control and servo valve control according to different working conditions and use requirements, so that the EHA can meet the frequency and response requirements. The pump-valve combined EHA combines the advantages of high valve control response and high pump control efficiency, but still has the following shortcomings: first, there is still throttling loss of valve control, especially in negative load conditions requiring high frequency response occasions; second, the self-oil cleaning and cooling capacity is insufficient, and the oil quality requirement is high; third, the motor pump still needs to be reversed to change the actuator actuation direction, the response frequency is low, the requirement for the hydraulic pump is high, and the electrical control system is more complex; fourth, in the event of motor pump failure, there is a lack of necessary redundancy backup, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high reliability task of the system.

When the actuator is in negative load condition, the motor pump operates at low speed, and the external load pushes the actuator cylinder to reach the command position through servo valve control, which improves the response frequency, reduces the power consumption and valve throttling noise, and realizes real-time purification and cooling of the oil.
