    摘要: Systems and methods for control of multi-function hydraulic commands of a multi-function electrohydraulic system are provided. In one aspect, a system for hydraulic control includes a first function in fluid communication with a first electrohydraulic control valve and a second function in fluid communication with a second electrohydraulic control valve. The system includes a controller in communication with the first electrohydraulic control valve and the second electrohydraulic control valve. The controller can be configured to receive an input target command, determine an achievable function rate based on the input target command, where the achievable function rate maintains a proportional relationship between the input target command and the achievable function rate. The controller can also map the achievable function rate to an output command based on a predetermined relationship between the achievable function rates and the output commands and supply the output command to the first and second electrohydraulic valves.

    摘要: A valve controller for a valve that comprises an actuator mechanically coupled to at least one flow controlling element. The valve controller comprises at least one pilot valve for controlling the position of the flow controlling element(s) by the actuator. The valve controller comprises a position sensor for obtaining a position signal indicative of the position of one of said at least one flow controlling element. The valve controller is configured to execute a configuration phase comprising establishing a pilot valve integer corresponding to number of pilot valves, and determining a tolerance criterion for the position signal based on the pilot valve integer. A valve arrangement comprising the valve controller and a valve. A method of controlling a valve comprising the configuration phase.

    摘要: A method (400) for controlling a proportional valve. The method includes the steps of: (i) providing (410) a proportional flow valve system that includes: a closed loop flow controller (110) including a proportional flow control valve (140), a flow sensor (150), and an adjustable gain (180); and an adaptive controller (120) including a model (160) of the closed loop flow controller, and a gain control (170); (ii) actuating (420) the proportional flow control valve; (iii) measuring (430) actual gas flow; (iv) determining (440) a difference between the measured gas flow rate and a desired gas flow rate; (v) adjusting (450) the proportional flow valve using the determined difference; (vi) initiating (460) a response from the model of the closed loop flow controller; (vii) determining (470) a gain for the closed loop flow controller; and (viii) adjusting (480) the adjustable gain of the closed loop flow controller.

    摘要: A system is described for positioning and locking in place a nozzle within a cylindrical bore of a body, and a method for positioning and locking in place a nozzle within a cylindrical bore of a body is also described. The system has a nozzle having a tubular shape extending between a first end and a second end with an outer cylindrical surface and an inner surface, said inner surface comprising a thread. The system also has a locking member provided within said nozzle and comprising an outer circumferential surface having a thread that corresponds to the thread of the inner surface of the nozzle. The system also has means for providing torque to said locking member to screw said locking member into and within said nozzle via said threaded surfaces to thereby create a press-fit between said outer cylindrical surface and an inner surface of said cylindrical bore.

    摘要: Systems and methods for calibration of an electrohydraulic control valve are provided. In one aspect, a method for calibrating an electrohydraulic control valve includes providing fluid communication between the pump and the reservoir through a bypass calibration orifice. The bypass calibration orifice defines a known restriction. The method further includes measuring a pressure drop across the bypass calibration orifice, commanding the electrohydraulic control valve, calculating a pressure drop across the electrohydraulic control valve, recording the command applied to the electrohydraulic control valve corresponding with the calculated pressure drop across the electrohydraulic control valve, and calibrating the electrohydraulic control valve based on at least two of the recorded command, the known restriction, the measured pressure drop across the bypass calibration orifice, and the calculated pressure drop across the electrohydraulic control valve.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for determining off-temperature behavior of a solenoid fluid control valve. The method comprises performing a current sweep at a first temperature. The method further comprises choosing a first and second characterization control pressure for characterizing the solenoid fluid control valve. A first current may be determined that corresponds to the first characterization control pressure based on the current sweep, and a first metric may be assigned to the solenoid fluid control valve based on the first current. A second current corresponding to the second characterization control pressure may be determined based on the current sweep, and a second metric may be assigned to the solenoid fluid control valve based on the second current. Information regarding the behavior of the solenoid fluid control valve at a second temperature may be determined based on the first and second metrics.
