The cutter head drive hydraulic system of φ1.8m simulate shield machine is introduced in this article, which has the variable speed pump control technique and the closed loop control method. The AMESim simulation model of the hydraulic system is built up, and the efficiency of the hydraulic system, speed control performance by open loop and closed loop control are analyzed. The result of the simulation shows that the variable speed pump control system has higher efficiency than the variable displacement pump control system about 4%-26% in the same condition when the cutter head speed is at the range of 0.5-4r/min, and the hydraulic system has good dynamic characteristics in closed-loop PID control.

Abstract The most common active heave compensated offshore cranes have hydraulic winch systems. This paper investigates an active/passive hydraulic winch system with variable-displacement motors and variable-displacement pumps. The paper addresses the challenges when the active motors are set with a low displacement. The active motor displacement is shown to have significant impact on the dynamics of the closed loop hydraulic system. The classical control strategy for this type of system do not address these challenges and will in certain situations have significantly reduced performance. Therefor, a new control method is presented that utilize the variable displacement of the pumps and motors for speed control and to improve dynamics characteristics. The new winch controller is tested in a high-fidelity simulation model and is shown to improve low speed performance, reduce winch speed limitations by up to 30%, reduce system peak pressure by approximately 20%, and reduce control error by approximately 30%.

The closed circuit hydraulic system is a typical nonlinear and time-varying system. In order to get excellent startup performance, the controller based on expert control method was designed. The theoretical and experimental research of the controller was carried out. Firstly, the working principle of the closed circuit hydraulic system was introduced. The difficulties of pressure pre-balanced control and closed-loop speed control for the system starting were indicated because of its friction, high-inertia and time delay. The influence of nonlinear friction on the startup performance of the system was analyzed. And the initial model of the friction was established through experiments. Then, the intelligent controller was designed basing on expert control method. The startup performance was evaluated by the integral of difference between the desired and the practical speed while the system ran. The static friction model and the parameters of the controller can be modified by the expert controller according to the last two results. Finally, experiments were carried out under different work conditions, namely variable loads and oil-temperatures. The results show that the startup performance of the system is excellent. The robustness of the expert controller is strong under different work conditions. That is, the proposed method is robust in the presence of nonlinearities and uncertainties.

Abstract In the hydraulic lifting systems of wheel loaders, the valve controlled systems are used to drive the hydraulic cylinder to complete frequent lifting and falling operations. The gravitational potential energy of the lifting system, accumulated in the lifting process, is converted into heat energy through the throttling port of the valve during the falling processes, which results in significant throttling loss and severe system overheating. To solve the problems, a potential energy regeneration and utilization system is proposed, where the closed loop pump controlled circuit based on the gravity self-balancing hydraulic cylinder is adopted to eliminate throttling loss, and the gravity self-balancing chamber of the cylinder is directly connected with accumulator to recycle gravity potential energy. In the research, the structure and working principle of the proposed hydraulic system is analyzed first, then the co-simulation model and the test prototype are established to investigate the working and energy characteristics of the proposed system. Test results indicate that, compared with the traditional valve controlled hydraulic system, 58.9% energy consumption reduction can be expected for the hydraulic pump by adopting the proposed system under the same working condition.

In this study, a robust H2 suboptimal control method is proposed for an electro-hydraulic system with variable supply pressure. The H2 suboptimal controller is designed to minimize the sum of a quadratic performance criterion and the H2 norm of the closed-loop transfer function from the white noise disturbance to the system state space variables. The genetic algorithm is used to select the weighting matrices of the quadratic performance criterion. In order to improve the robust performance, parameter uncertainties of the electro-hydraulic system are considered in the process of genetic search. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper sketches the overall structure of the hydraulic system of bending machine, and designs the hydraulic synchronous control system of the upper roller in bending machine. Then making use of AMEsim software to establish hydraulic system simulation model to analyze the pressure, velocity, displacement and other parameters of hydraulic cylinders in two cases when in open loop and closed loop system. After that, use PID algorithm to simulate the upper roller of bending machine in hydraulic closed loop synchronous system, which verifies that it can meet the motion requirements and get a higher synchronous precision.

Focusing on the problem that the high stable quality and excellent servo performance of electrohydraulic actuator are needed in aero-engine control system, this paper aims to propose a complete design method for electrohydraulic servo actuator. Firstly, the static characteristics of mechanical-hydraulic system including solenoid control valve, slave valve and metering valve was analyzed to identify their main structure parameters. Secondly, a nonlinear model of this open-loop mechanical-hydraulic system was established in the framework of AMESim. Thirdly, the model’s transfer function was obtained through Prediction Error Methods (PEM) in system identification. Based on the above work, given that the saturation of duty ratio is a nonlinear link, an integral-separated PI controller was applied to constitute the closed-loop electrohydraulic servo actuator. Moreover, to get optimal performance, the controller parameters design was transferred into an optimization process using Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. Simulation results illustrated that the designed closed-loop electrohydraulic servo actuator shows rapid servo tracking performance, small overshoot and low power loss. It is consistent with the actual engineering and can be used in most aero-engines. In addition, the entire design methodology is generic and can be transplanted in other actuators design.
