Development of a bionic multi-chamber hydraulic cylinder for improving energy efficiency
Most hydraulic drive systems for robots are configured with one single pump and multiple cylinders, which suffers from low energy efficiency in the case of driving the variable loads. To solve the problem, this paper presents a multi-chamber hydraulic cylinder based on the bionic muscle drive mechanism. Firstly, the mechanical structure is designed, the mathematical models are derived, the mechanism of high energy efficiency is analyzed. Then, the simulation of load matching control is carried out, which shows the high energy efficiency improvement and the good position tracking. Finally, the multi-chamber hydraulic cylinder prototype is developed for experimental study, and output forces, output displacement, energy consumption, and friction characteristics are researched. The theoretical analysis and experimental research show that the bionic multi-chamber hydraulic cylinder can realize the power matching between the single power source and the variable loads in the hydraulic system, which provide a novel idea for the energy efficient hydraulic equipment.
期刊介绍:
Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The purpose of this journal is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in mechatronics. It will cover a wide range of application areas including consumer product design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, computer integration and process and device control, and will attract a readership from across the industrial and academic research spectrum. Particular importance will be attached to aspects of innovation in mechatronics design philosophy which illustrate the benefits obtainable by an a priori integration of functionality with embedded microprocessor control. A major item will be the design of machines, devices and systems possessing a degree of computer based intelligence. The journal seeks to publish research progress in this field with an emphasis on the applied rather than the theoretical. It will also serve the dual role of bringing greater recognition to this important area of engineering.
