摘要: 增材制造液压元件的设计自由度高,目前主要依赖于人工经验,尚缺乏科学的设计准则和方法来指导增材设计,从而科学有效地设计出轻量化、集成化、节能化程度更高的液压元件。总结了一套传统液压阀块的轻量节能设计方法,提出了降低流道局部压力损失的3种设计准则:圆弧过渡准则;最大转角半径准则;转弯数最小准则。在此基础上,对液压阀块进行了重新优化设计并采用选区激光熔化技术(Selective laser melting,SLM)制造。与传统原型液压阀块相比,增材制造成形液压阀块的质量减轻了81%,空间体积减小了46%,同时主油路压损降低了20%以上,表明新型液压阀块的设计同时实现了轻量化和液压能传输效率的提高。最后,还提出了一套液压阀块的增材设计流程,可为轻量节能型液压元件的增材设计提供理论指导。

Abstract: Additive manufacturing(AM) provides advanced technology for manufacturing hydraulic power components. However, there lack effective design methods to guide the additive manufacturing of hydraulic components with lighter weight and improved hydraulic energy transmission efficiency. The optimized structure for the selective laser melted (SLMed) hydraulic manifold is designed. Moreover, three design criteria are proposed to reduce local pressure loss of fluid passage structure:gradually curved turn design; large turn radius design, and lower turn number design. Based on these criteria, a conventionally processed hydraulic manifold is redesigned and fabricated by SLM technology. Compared with the traditional hydraulic manifold, the weight and space volume of the new SLMed hydraulic manifold are reduced by 81% and 46%, respectively. And the average pressure loss of the main functional oil circuit is reduced by 20%, illustrating that the new hydraulic manifold design simultaneously achieves lightweight and improved hydraulic energy transmission efficiency. Finally, a design process of hydraulic manifold for AM is proposed. Theoretical guidance for designing additively manufactured hydraulic components with increased power-to-mass ratio is provided.
