Influence of structural parameters of distributor disk on flow pulsation in axial piston pumps

Abstract

 Firstly, a virtual prototype of axial piston pump AMESim is used to observe the effects of outlet pressure, swashplate inclination, bulk modulus (compressibility), density, dynamic viscosity, air viscosity, air content, dead space volume, leakage of mating clearance of the moving parts, plunger cylinder clearance, eccentricity, contact length of the copper bushing of the high-pressure piston pump, and the over-flow area of the flow distributing disk on the swashplate torque, the pressure in the plunger chamber, the pulsation in the flow rate, and the backing-up. To explore the influence of fluid noise, mechanical noise and air noise. After comparison, the overflow area of the disk, which has the greatest influence on the noise, is selected as the research object, in which the structural parameters of the disk are the most important influencing factors. Finally, it is found that too large or too small overflow area will aggravate the fluid noise and mechanical noise of the piston pump. Therefore, the optimized design of the structure of piston pump flow distribution plate is of great significance to reduce the vibration and noise of the hydraulic system. This study catches the optimization method of axial piston pump flow distribution shock, which can provide a reference for the design and optimization of axial piston pumps.
