AI Technical Summary
The existing electro-hydraulic servo valve's spring tube is difficult to withstand in high vibration environments. Increased wall thickness leads to increased stiffness, affecting parameter matching. Furthermore, it is difficult and costly to manufacture, and the stiffness value of thin-walled spring tubes has a significant impact on the servo valve's performance.
A spring beam with a 'gate' beam structure is used instead of a thin-walled cylindrical spring tube. The stiffness is adjusted by combining a magnetorheological fluid actuator and a sealing ring is used for sealing, which reduces the difficulty of processing and improves the vibration resistance.
The vibration resistance of the servo valve has been increased to over 100G, reducing the processing difficulty, adapting to the stiffness adjustment of flow valves of different specifications, and improving the versatility and zero-position stability of the components.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electro-hydraulic servo valves, and particularly relates to an armature jet deflector plate assembly and an electro-hydraulic servo valve applying the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] Double-nozzle baffle, jet pipe, jet deflector plate electro-hydraulic servo valves are widely used in electro-hydraulic servo control systems in the fields of aviation, aerospace, navigation, etc. A common two-stage electro-hydraulic servo valve mainly consists of a pilot stage and a spool valve stage. Generally, the pilot stage converts the displacement of an armature into the displacement of a jet flow device by a spring tube, which is a thin-walled cylindrical part. The thin-walled cylindrical spring tube also plays a role in oil return sealing. The thickness of the thin-walled spring tube in the industry is generally about 0.01 mm. With the development of high-performance aircraft engines, the vibration value of the system is significantly improved, even reaching more than 100G. The conventional spring tube is difficult to withstand such high vibration values. In order to improve the vibration resistance of the spring tube, the industry generally increases the wall thickness of the spring tube. However, this measure has certain limitations and cannot increase the wall thickness indefinitely. Because the wall thickness of the spring tube increases, the stiffness also increases, which seriously affects the optimal solution of the parameter matching of the servo valve armature assembly, causing problems such as excessive magnetization, armature sticking, armature shaking, zero position sudden jump, etc. In addition, it also reduces the dynamic performance of the product. In addition, the stiffness value of the thin-walled spring tube significantly affects the dynamic and static performance of the servo valve. The industry has strict requirements for the size tolerance and stiffness value of the part. The stiffness value is measured during processing to ensure that the part meets the stiffness requirements. At the same time, the wall thickness of about 0.01 mm has a low qualified rate during processing and is prone to processing defects or even failure, which increases the cost of the product and has low reliability. SUMMARY
[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide an armature jet deflector plate assembly and an electro-hydraulic servo valve applying the same. A "door" type beam structure spring beam is used instead of the traditional thin-walled cylindrical spring tube part, and a sealing ring is used for oil return sealing. This structure improves the vibration resistance of the servo valve. Compared with the traditional spring tube structure with a wall thickness of about 0.01 mm, the same stiffness value is achieved. The thin wall of the "door" type beam structure spring beam is 70-80 times thicker, reaching 0.7-0.8 mm. A magnetorheological damper is arranged at the torsion position of the spring beam. This structure adjusts the stiffness of the spring beam to adapt to different stiffness adjustments of different specifications of flow servo valves and reduces the processing difficulty, improving the universality of the armature jet deflector plate assembly.

[0005] Further, the armature middle circular through hole is coaxial with the spring beam middle circular through hole.
[0006] Further, the armature axis is perpendicular to the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole center line of the spring beam.
[0007] Further, the armature axis is parallel to the deflection plate flat surface jet flow groove.
[0008] Further, the armature axis passes through the rotation center of the armature deflection plate assembly.
[0009] Further, the sealing ring inner diameter center is on the rotation center of the armature deflection plate assembly.
