Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of active protection systems for hydraulic servo systems, and specifically relates to an active protection system for a hydraulic servo system. Background Art
[0002] A hydraulic servo system is a system that precisely controls the position, speed, and force of a load by adjusting the flow rate and pressure of hydraulic components.
[0003] During the energy transfer process of a hydraulic servo system, there are significant mechanical and thermal energy losses. Especially in traditional valve control systems, relief valves and throttle valves can cause a large amount of energy waste. Moreover, hydraulic oil is vulnerable to particulate contaminants and moisture, which can lead to clogging of the actuator or jamming of the spool. At the same time, the seals of hydraulic pipelines are prone to aging or leakage under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, polluting the environment and possibly causing fires. On the other hand, the viscosity and bulk modulus of elasticity of hydraulic oil change significantly with temperature. Friction losses increase at low temperatures, and leakage increases and cavitation may occur at high temperatures, directly affecting the system response speed and stability. The system has complex dynamic characteristics such as the non-linearity of the pressure-flow characteristics of the valve and Coulomb friction, which are prone to self-excited oscillation or control errors, and complex compensation algorithms are required to maintain stability. There is a lack of a multi-dimensional active protection system, and the safety, reliability, and stability of the hydraulic servo system are poor. Therefore, we propose an active protection system for a hydraulic servo system. Summary of the Invention

By integrating overload protection, temperature control, leakage monitoring, and vibration suppression, a multi-dimensional active protection system is formed to improve the safety, reliability, and stability of the hydraulic servo system.
[0021] Refer to Figure 1, the leakage monitoring module includes a flowmeter and a pressure decay monitoring unit.

The active damping servo valve is used for realizing dynamic damping control by adjusting the flow rate. When the acceleration sensor detects abnormal vibration of the hydraulic cylinder, the active damping servo valve can respond quickly to suppress the vibration; specifically, by arranging the pressure sensor, the oil temperature sensor, the acceleration sensor, and the flowmeter at key monitoring points for monitoring. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure exceeds the set threshold, the flow-limiting structure of the servo valve immediately limits the flow peak value to prevent spool jamming or system overload; when the oil temperature sensor detects that the pressure exceeds the set threshold, the data of the oil temperature sensor triggers the adaptive cooling system to adjust the cooling power and avoid performance degradation caused by overheating of the oil; when the acceleration sensor captures high-frequency vibration signals, the active damping servo valve quickly adjusts the flow rate to suppress the vibration amplitude and reduce equipment fatigue damage; the flowmeter monitors the flow fluctuation, combines with the pressure decay monitoring unit to accurately locate the leakage point or abnormal flow, realizes rapid anomaly detection and dynamic compensation, and conducts real-time monitoring and rapid response.

When the main valve fails, the standby valve can seamlessly take over to ensure the continuous operation of the actuator; the dual hydraulic pump group supplies oil synchronously or alternately to avoid single pump overload and meet the large flow rate requirement, and improves the safety, reliability, and stability of the hydraulic servo system.
[0023] Refer to Figure 1, the intelligent control module includes a fault diagnosis unit and a dynamic parameter compensation unit. The fault diagnosis unit and the dynamic parameter compensation unit are integrated in the control cabinet of the hydraulic servo system.

The dynamic parameter compensation unit is used to adjust parameters such as the flow rate of the servo valve and the movement trajectory of the hydraulic cylinder in real time. Specifically, the fault diagnosis unit monitors the operating state of the hydraulic system in real time by integrating the feedback signals of the acceleration sensor, flowmeter, pressure sensor, and oil temperature sensor, and compares and analyzes them with preset parameters to quickly identify situations such as overpressure, flow rate fluctuations, or abnormal oil temperature. Moreover, the fault diagnosis unit can classify anomalies such as spool jamming, seal failure, or oil contamination, and trigger priority alarms according to the severity to avoid the spread of faults. The dynamic parameter compensation unit can adjust the PID parameters of the servo valve flow rate in real time according to working condition parameters such as oil temperature and load changes to ensure flow rate stability and avoid system oscillations caused by oil temperature fluctuations or sudden load changes.
