Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic components, and in particular to a high-efficiency, high-stability, high-pressure torque-resistant motor for servo valves and its assembly process. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of aviation technology, the main characteristics of future equipment requirements are lightweight, high maneuverability, ultra-high speed, and high reliability. Future aircraft will also place higher demands on their core and critical systems. Electro-hydraulic servo valves, as core control components in hydraulic actuation systems, act as power amplifiers, converting low-power electrical signals into flow or pressure power signals to drive the actuators. Their failure will directly lead to the failure of the hydraulic control system, affecting the performance of the aircraft's core and critical systems.

[0003] As the pressure system continues to increase, the rapid temperature changes caused by the servo valve throttling and the structural leakage magnetic effect affect the electromagnetic conversion circuit magnetic characteristics of the torque motor under different working conditions. At the same time, changes in the coil current and the rotation of the armature will cause eddy currents to be generated inside the magnetic material, resulting in a decrease in the electromagnetic conversion efficiency of the torque motor under complex working conditions. Ultimately, this leads to a significant decrease in the conversion efficiency of the torque motor under high pressure.

[0004] To meet the high flow rate and high dynamic performance requirements of servo valves, a high-gain torque motor structure is typically designed. However, a high-gain design for the torque motor leads to a decrease in its stability margin. A torque motor with a low stability margin is prone to forced vibration and high-frequency noise when subjected to unstable hydrodynamic forces. Under high-frequency alternating hydrodynamic forces, the stiffness of the Bourdon tube in the low-damping motor armature assembly gradually decreases, severely affecting the dynamic performance and stability of the servo valve. Long-term operation of the torque motor under low-damping conditions increases the risk of fatigue damage to the armature assembly, ultimately leading to structural failure of the product.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0019] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a high-efficiency, high-stability, high-pressure torque motor for servo valves, including: an armature assembly 8, an upper housing 11, and other components of the torque motor; the armature assembly 8 includes: a damping wire 15, an armature 16, a mounting ring 17, a spring tube 18, a spring tube base 19, and a reaction rod 20. Mounting ring 17 is located inside the center of armature 16. The lower end of mounting ring 17 is interference-fitted with spring tube 18. The lower end of spring tube 18 is interference-fitted with spring tube base 19. Spring tube base 19 is inserted into upper housing 11 and presses against jet disk 12, connecting the oil passage of jet disk 12 with the oil passage of upper housing 11. Through upper housing 11, the oil passage on spring tube base 19 is connected to the servo valve slide stage. The lower end of spring tube base 19 is connected to reaction rod 20. One end of the damping wire 15 is inserted into the upper housing 11, and the other end is inserted into the center of the upper end of the armature 16 and welded to the mounting ring 17.

[0020] Damping wire 15 is used to improve the ability of armature assembly 8 to suppress minor vibrations; The armature 16 is used to provide an effective magnetic circuit for the torque motor; Mounting ring 17 is used to provide an effective connection for Bourdon tube 18, damping wire 15 and armature 16; Bourdon tube 18 is used to provide deformation force for armature assembly 8; The spring tube base 19 is used to provide structural support for the spring tube 18, and can also press the jet disk 12, while communicating the oil passage of the jet disk 12 with the oil passage of the upper housing 11. The reaction rod 20 is used to provide a deflection structure, which changes the flow field of the jet disk 12 as the armature 16 moves, and at the same time provides feedback force for the movement of the servo valve slide valve stage valve core; The upper housing 11 provides structural support for the Bourdon tube base 19 and connects the oil passage of the Bourdon tube base 19 to the servo valve slide stage.

[0021] Furthermore, this invention also provides an assembly process method for some parts of the torque motor. This mainly involves the assembly of the armature assembly 8: First, the mounting ring 17 is press-fitted to achieve an interference fit with the armature 16, and its connection strength is strengthened by laser welding; Secondly, the upper and lower ends of the spring tube 18 are press-fitted to achieve an interference fit with the mounting ring 17 and the spring tube base 19, respectively, and the connection strength is strengthened by laser welding. Then, the reaction rod 20 is press-fitted to the spring tube base 19 to achieve an interference fit; Finally, the damping wire 15 is installed into the mounting ring 17 with a clearance fit, and its effective connection is achieved by brazing. Then, its assembly stress is eliminated by vacuum heat treatment.

[0023] The lower magnet 9 is placed on the upper surface of the upper housing 11, with an adjusting shim 10 inserted in the middle. Then, the lower cylindrical structure of the armature assembly 8 is inserted from above into the central circular hole of the upper housing 11, while ensuring that the lower cylindrical part of the damping wire 15 in the armature assembly 8 is inserted into the circular hole on the upper surface of the upper housing 11. Figure 5As shown, in the performance test of the high-efficiency and high-stability torque motor, the tooling is inserted into the horizontal hole that intersects with the vertical circular hole on the upper surface of the upper housing 11 to adjust the installation posture of the damping wire 15. After ensuring the zero-position performance of the high-efficiency and high-stability torque motor assembly, the lower cylinder of the damping wire 15 and the vertical circular hole on the upper surface of the upper housing 11 form a rigid constraint. Simultaneously, the jet disk 12 and the lower jet cover plate 13 are placed into the central circular hole of the upper housing 11 from below, and the armature assembly 8, the jet disk 12, and the lower jet cover plate 13 are positioned using the positioning pin 14; then the coil assembly 6 is respectively fitted onto the left and right arms of the armature assembly 8, and the magnet 7 is placed on the lower magnetic conductor 9 at the front and rear positions of the armature assembly 8, and then the magnet 7 is pressed tightly by the upper magnetic conductor 5; the washer 3 is fitted onto the stud of the motor screw 2, and the motor screw 2 is inserted into the four mounting holes of the upper magnetic conductor 5 and the lower magnetic conductor 9, and finally tightened in the four threaded holes of the upper housing 11; finally, the motor limit screw 4 is screwed into the two threaded mounting holes of the upper magnetic conductor, and the separator ring 1 is inserted into the central large circular hole of the upper magnetic conductor 5, thereby realizing the assembly of a high-efficiency and high-stability torque motor.

[0024] The above-described embodiments of the invention enable the assembly of a high-efficiency, high-stability torque motor, and the zero-position performance of the high-efficiency, high-stability torque motor can be adjusted by adjusting the installation posture of the damping wire 15. The damping wire design of the armature assembly improves the torque motor's ability to resist minor disturbances from the high-pressure jet flow field under high-gain, high-efficiency conditions, thus increasing the stability of the torque motor. Furthermore, the above-described armature assembly method increases structural connection strength and sealing capability under high pressure, making it suitable for servo valve applications in high-pressure systems.

[0025] The above detailed embodiments are a description of the present invention. It should not be considered that the specific embodiments of the present invention are limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions and substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
