Abstract:

In applications such as coal mining, food and underwater operations, low speed high torque high water-based hydraulic motors have the advantages of high power-to-weight ratio and medium compatibility. However, the current high-water-based hydraulic motors still maintain the same flow distribution structure as oil motors and only replace the working medium with high-water-based emulsion instead of hydraulic oil. Traditional flow distribution disc structures use spring force to ensure sealing. Under low speed, high pressure, and high water-based conditions, the flow distribution disc wears heavily, resulting in serious leaks. For high-water-based emulsion drive systems, this paper proposed a valve flow distribution mechanism comprising valves, bearings, and a pentagon-wheel. The motor’s intaking and discharging process is controlled by a check valve, and the opening and closing of the valve is controlled by the pentagon-wheel. Then the paper carried out comparative analysis on flow distribution rules, advantages and disadvantages of eccentric-wheel, cam, and pentagon-wheel flow distribution mechanisms. It is found that the pentagon-wheel flow distribution structure can reduce the concentration of push rod stress and solve the phenomenon of push rod self-rotation jamming. Finally, the superiority of the five-star wheel flow distribution structure was verified by using AMESim. The prototype was prepared and the performance experiment was carried out. The results show that the pressure in the plunger cavity can be quickly established under different speed (10~90 r/min) and pressure (5~21 MPa). Compared with traditional disc flow distribution mechanisms, the leak rate of the valve flow distribution mechanism under high-water-based conditions of 21 MPa and 90 r/min is only 0.15 mL/min, significantly improving motor volume efficiency.
