Abstract

A novel direct proportional pressure-regulating valve is presented in this paper, and its working principle is introduced. The pressure of feedback chamber is controlled by two orifices. The lumped parameter double-mass dynamic model considering both the spool mass and the plunger mass is established. The model consists of the subsystem models with hydraulic fluid dynamic, valve mechanic and electromagnetic. The numerical model is validated through experiments. With the model, the spool and pressure dynamics are analysed by comparing the changes of the simulation parameters. The effects of orifice diameters, lap, spring stiffness, viscous damping coefficient on the stability of spool and pressure are investigated. The results show that a fixed relationship between the orifice diameters of the valve can be achieved. A larger overlap is beneficial to improve the stability of the spool. It is aimed to propose a parametric design method for the valve optimization.
