Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plunger pumps, and more specifically to a coupled modeling method for plunger pump multibody dynamics and oil film lubrication behavior. Background Technology
[0002] Piston pumps, as core power components, are widely used in the hydraulic transmission systems of various heavy machinery and defense equipment, and are key components determining the reliability and lifespan of hydraulic systems. In physics and computer science, a multi-mass system refers to a system composed of multiple particles; in mechanics, it refers to a system composed of multiple masses with a certain mass. The piston pump contains multiple friction pairs within its multi-mass system, making its internal structure compact and complex. These friction pairs include the kinematic friction between the piston and cylinder, the kinematic friction between the slipper and swashplate, and the kinematic friction between the cylinder and distributor plate. The oil film formed by the lubricating oil between these friction pairs—piston and cylinder, slipper and swashplate, cylinder and distributor plate—is a thin film formed by lubricating oil. The coupling effect between the multi-mass system and the oil film within the piston pump affects oil film friction wear and mass damage, thus impacting the pump's lifespan and reliability.
[0003] Currently, there are many existing plunger pump models, including models that can be established separately for plunger pump dynamics and friction pair oil film lubrication. However, these models do not consider the coupling effect between the two, so they cannot simultaneously and accurately predict the multibody response of the plunger pump and obtain the oil film lubrication characteristics. This significantly reduces the accuracy of plunger pump reliability design, hindering practical engineering applications and causing economic losses. To solve this problem, a new model needs to be developed that takes into account the coupling effect between the multibody and oil film of the plunger pump. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in existing plunger pump modeling methods and to propose a coupled modeling method for plunger pump multibody dynamics and oil film lubrication behavior. This modeling method can more accurately predict the multibody response of the plunger pump through a prediction-verification combined algorithm and obtain the lubrication characteristics of the oil film, which can provide important theoretical basis and technical support for pump design, manufacturing, use and maintenance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0022]
[0023] Where, α c For the overturning angle, h max h is the maximum oil film clearance height. min R3 is the minimum oil film gap height, and R3 is the outer diameter of the outer ring of the sealing band.
