| description | Aiming to solve the difficult problem of the miniaturization of servo valves, this paper designs a subminiature two-dimensional (2D) electro-hydraulic servo valve, which realizes the integration of the pilot stage and the power stage and significantly improves the work-to-weight ratio. Meanwhile, a high-power-density brushless DC motor (BLDC) is adopted as the electro-mechanical converter to further reduce the volume and mass. Firstly, the structure and working principle of the two-dimensional (2D) servo valve are described, and the mathematical model of the electro-mechanical converter is established. Aiming at the special working condition of the electro-mechanical converter with high-frequency oscillation at a small turning angle, this paper designs a position–current double closed-loop PID control algorithm based on the framework of the vector control algorithm (FOC). At the same time, the current feedforward compensation technique is included to cope with the high-frequency nonlinear disturbance problem of the electro-mechanical converter. The stability conditions of the electro-mechanical converter and the main valve were established based on the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, and the effects of the control algorithm of the electro-mechanical converter and the main parameters of the main valve on the stability of the system were analyzed. The dynamic and static characteristics of the 2D valve were simulated and analyzed by establishing a joint simulation model in Matlab/Simulink and AMESim. The prototype was fabricated, and the experimental bench was built; the size of the experimental prototype was 31.7 mm × 29.3 mm × 31 mm, and its mass was 73 g. Under a system pressure of 7 MPa, the flow rate of this valve was 5 L/min; the hysteresis loop of the spool-displacement input–output curve was 4.8%, and the linearity was 2.54%, which indicated that it had the ability of high-precision control and that it was suitable for the precision fluid system. The step response time was 7.5 ms, with no overshoot; the frequency response amplitude bandwidth was about 90 Hz (−3 dB); the phase bandwidth was about 95 Hz (−90°); and the dynamic characterization experiment showed that it had a fast response characteristic, which can satisfy the demand of high-frequency and high-dynamic working conditions. |
