Hydraulic excavator slewing system is an important component of the excavator and its core-component is the rotary motor. When the rotary hydraulic system starts, stops, and reciprocating works, dynamic characteristic of rotary motor anti-reverse valve has a great influence for working condition of the whole system. Through researching working principle of hydraulic system anti-reverse valve, establish dynamic mathematical model of anti-reverse valve, analyze dynamic response of the model, and get the theoretical foundation of the impact of anti-reverse valve middle chamber throttle opening on hydraulic system. According to the actual working condition of the excavator slewing hydraulic system, establish the system AMESim simulation model, take different parameters of the anti-reverse valve throttle opening, conduct simulation and analysis of the anti-reverse valve characteristics, and validate throttle opening has a great influence on dynamic characteristics of the hydraulic system.
