The two position solenoid operated cartridge valve is widely used in the applications, such as process control systems, pavers, agricultural machinery, where response and installed costs are more important than precise control through electronic position feedback. In recent years, the combination of multiple cartridge valves, so called ‘smart valve’ or ‘programmable valve’, which is able to break the mechanical linkage between the meter-in and meter-out orifices and enables high precision control as well as optimal usage of energy, is gaining engineering interests. But the control of such combination is far from trivial. It demands good knowledge of the valve dynamics and nonlinear flow properties. Unlike servo valve or proportional directional control valve, a mathematic model of solenoid operated cartridge valve, or even a thorough understanding of the dynamics and nonlinear performance, are not available. This paper presents an EASY 5 model for the two position solenoid operated cartridge valve. The model, which includes the solenoid force, spring force, damping force, flow force and nonlinear mass flow rate, can be used to analyze cartridge valve as well as simulate system or controller performance. It is also able to connect with Matlab for more complicated simulation.

Hydraulic systems, as power sources and transmissions, offer many advantages over electromechanical or purely mechanical counterparts in terms of power density, flexibility, and portability. Many hydraulic systems require touching and contacting the physical environments; and many of these systems are directly controlled by humans. If hydraulic systems are passive, they would be both safer to interact with, and easier for humans to control. In this paper, it is shown that a critical hydraulic component, the directional control valve, is not passive. However, the directional valve, as a one-port or a two-port device can become passive if appropriate spool valve dynamics are imposed. Methods to passify the valve for both first-order and second-order spool dynamics are considered. In the case of second-order spool dynamics, a passive method that relies on hardware modification, and an active feedback method, are proposed. [S0022-0434(00)01803-7]

Fluid Damping

In order to evaluate the dynamic behavior of the buffer of the Seagull 300 aircraft’s main landing gear, a drop model is built to simulate the drop dynamics using the software of LMS Virtual Lab Motion. The fluid damping force of the buffer, the air spring force of the buffer, the tire force of the landing gear and the weight of the fuselage are considered in the model. The simulation results are compared with the results of the Seagull 300 landing gears drop test, which proves the accuracy of the simulation model. Then the buffer performance and its influence factors are computationally discussed. This method gives a new way to study and improve the performance of the buffer system of an aircraft.

Recently, power assisted nursing care systems have received much attention and those researches have been done actively. In such a control system, an actuator and a control valve are mounted on the human body. Designing the system, the size and weight of the valve become serious concerns. The purpose of our study is to develop a small-sized, lightweight and low-cost servo valve for precise control using wearable pneumatic actuators. In this study, a low-cost wearable servo valve that can control the output flow rate by changing the twisted angle of the buckled tube in the servo valve is proposed and tested. The position control system of McKibben rubber artificial muscle using tested valve and embedded controller is also proposed and tested. As a result, we confirmed that the tested servo valve can control the flow rate in both supply and exhaust in an analog way. In addition, the estimated cost of the proposed valve can be reduced about 100 times cheaper (10 US Dollar) compared with the typical servo valve.

Linear Actuators

Three electromagnetic-based linear actuators, namely a solenoid actuator (SA), a moving coil actuator (MCA), and a moving magnet actuator (MMA), are proposed for driving the needle in a jet dispenser. The total resistance force acting on the needle during operation, including the damping force, the friction force, the inertia force, the compression spring force, and the backpressure, are measured by an experimental model. The thrust force required to overcome this resistance force is then predicted for each actuator using finite element analysis (FEA) simulations. Simple two-dimensional models of the SA, MCA, and MMA are constructed using the same coil dimensions in every case in order to facilitate an objective comparison between them. Simulations in ANSYS Maxwell software are then performed to adjust the specific dimensions of each actuator structure in such a way as to generate the thrust force required to drive the needle in the jet dispenser with the minimum excitation current possible. The simulation results show that for a maximum needle driving frequency of 250 Hz and a stroke length of 0.5 mm, the excitation current required to generate the necessary thrust force is equal to 1.8 A and 1.9 A for the MCA and MMA models, respectively, when a return spring is not used, and 2.2 A, 3.8 A, and 4.1 A for the SA, MCA, and MMA models, respectively, when a return spring is employed. It is additionally shown that the thrust force drop of the MCA and MMA models is far less than that of the SA model, about 0.7%, 1.8%, and 61% for three models, respectively. Three preliminary designs for jet dispensers incorporating the proposed actuators are also generated for reference purposes.
