比例阀基本原理

1、PROPORTIONAL VALVES - BASIC PRINCIPLES Copyright Eaton Hydraulics 2000 Steve Skinner, Eaton Hydraulics, Havant, UK 比例阀基本原理 BASIC SYSTEM 1) 一般认为一个简单的液压系统由油 箱（A）、电动机（B）、泵（C）、溢 流阀（D）、过滤器（E）、流量控制 阀（F）、方向控制阀（G）、和油缸 （H）组成。 2) 油缸的运动是由流量控 制阀（确定运动的速度） 和方向控制阀（油缸运动 的方向）控制。 A B C D E F H G BASIC SYSTEM 当电磁阀得电时，

2、油缸活塞将伸出和 回缩,其速度由流量控制阀确定，而电 磁阀不具有控制速度的能力。 BASIC SYSTEM 一三位电磁阀： 延长气缸 BASIC SYSTEM 一三位电磁阀： 延长气缸 -缩回油缸 BASIC SYSTEM 一三位电磁阀： 延长气缸 -缩回油缸 停缸 因此电磁阀的动作非常象一个电路中的开 关 在此位置灯是关闭状态. . 在另外一个位置是开启状态， 而没有中间状态。 and in the other position it is switched on but there are no intermediate states. 然而众所周知，另一种形式的开关能够 用来控制灯泡，调

3、光开关 However, another type of switch can be used for controlling a light bulb known as a dimmer switch. 在这个例子中，这个开关能够被转到全开 和全关的任一位置，来调整灯泡的亮度 In this case, the switch can be turned to any position between fully off and fully on to vary the brightness of the bulb. In this case, the switch can be turned

4、 to any position between fully off and fully on to vary the brightness of the bulb. In this case, the switch can be turned to any position between fully off and fully on to vary the brightness of the bulb. In this case, the switch can be turned to any position between fully off and fully on to vary

5、the brightness of the bulb. In this case, the switch can be turned to any position between fully off and fully on to vary the brightness of the bulb. 在这种情况下，开关可以变成任何位置之 间完全关闭和完全不同的灯泡的亮度。 在这个例子中，这个开关能够被转到全开 和全关的任一位置，来调整灯泡的亮度。 In this case, the switch can be turned to any position between fully off an

6、d fully on to vary the brightness of the bulb. 在这种情况下，开关可以变成任何位置之 间完全关闭和完全不同的灯泡的亮度。 BASIC SYSTEM 2) 阀芯能够移动到在任一 位置，而不仅仅是三个不 连续的位置。 阀芯在离开中位的方向仍 然确定油缸运动的方向， 但阀芯离开中位的距离控 制活塞的速度。 1) 比例方向阀能够被看作与调光开 关具有同样功能。 A proportional directional valve can be thought of as the dimmer switch equivalent of an electrical

7、 switch. BASIC SYSTEM 于是在实际上比例阀可以同时作为方 向阀和流量阀来使用。 So in effect the proportional directional valve is acting as both a directional valve and a flow control valve. SWITCHING SOLENOID VALVE 一个传统的电磁阀能够被认为是一个简单的开关阀。 A conventional solenoid valve can be thought of as a simple switching valve. 它可以被一些只有简单电流

8、通断的开关的电设备来控制 It is controlled by some form of electrical device which simply switches the electrical current on or off. SWITCHING SOLENOID VALVE 一个传统的电磁阀可以被认为是一个简单 的切换阀。 它是由某种形式的电气装置，简单的开关 电流通断控制。 SWITCHING SOLENOID VALVE A conventional solenoid valve can be thought of as a simple switching valve. I

9、t is controlled by some form of electrical device which simply switches the electrical current on or off. PROPORTIONAL VALVE 一个比例方向阀是由与一个与调光开关非常象的电设备控制的。 A proportional directional valve however will be controlled by an electrical device more like a dimmer switch. PROPORTIONAL VALVE 通过改变两个之一电磁铁的电流，阀

10、芯移动的位移能够被改变， 因此控制了通过阀的流量。 By varying the current to either solenoid, the amount of spool movement can be varied and hence the amount of flow through the valve can be controlled. PROPORTIONAL VALVE 通过改变电流或电磁阀，阀芯的运动量可 以是多种多样的，因此流量通过阀可以控 制。 PROPORTIONAL VALVE 通过改变电流或电磁阀，阀芯的运动量可 以是多种多样的，因此流量通过阀可以控 制。 PR

11、OPORTIONAL VALVE By varying the current to either solenoid, the amount of spool movement can be varied and hence the amount of flow through the valve can be controlled. PROPORTIONAL VALVE By varying the current to either solenoid, the amount of spool movement can be varied and hence the amount of fl

12、ow through the valve can be controlled. PROPORTIONAL VALVE 通过改变电流或电磁阀，阀芯的运动量可 以是多种多样的，因此流量通过阀可以控 制。 PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID 因此不像传统的电磁阀，通 过比例阀线圈的电流需要被 调整，而不仅仅是开关式的 通断。 比例阀电磁铁的结构与开关 式电磁铁是相似的。 电磁铁包括: - 线圈 (A) - 框架 (B) - 电枢 (C) - 电极片 (D) - 顶针 (E) 电枢被 包在一个芯轴管（F ）中。 (同时全部的总成经 常被压进一个树脂塑料的外 罩（G）中） A B C D F G

13、 E PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID 当一个电压线圈连接，电流流过线 圈。 PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID 1) 接下来，电流生成一个磁场，磁 场主要集中在金属框架、电机片和 电枢中 In turn, the electrical current creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the metal frame, pole piece and armature. 2) 然而在磁回路的电机片和电枢之 间有一个间隙，于是产生一个力， 其作用是关闭这个间隙以完成这个 磁回路。 There is however

14、a gap in the magnetic circuit between the pole piece and armature so a force is created which acts to close this gap and complete the magnetic circuit. PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID 1)顶针连接着电磁铁和阀芯，通常 移动阀芯压缩弹簧。 The push-pin connects the solenoid to the valve spool and normally moves the spool against a spring

15、. 2) 电磁铁产生的力The 大小由磁场强度 决定，磁场强度与通过线圈的电流成比例 force created by the solenoid is determined by the strength of the magnetic field which itself is proportional to the current flowing through the coil. PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID 增大线圈电流将加大电磁的力，因 此推动阀芯压缩弹簧产生一个更大 的位移。 Increasing the coil current will increase the

16、solenoid force and hence move the spool a greater amount against the spring. PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID Increasing the coil current will increase the solenoid force and hence move the spool a greater amount against the spring. PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID Increasing the coil current will increase the solenoid f

17、orce and hence move the spool a greater amount against the spring. F I F I PROPORTIONAL SOLENOID 电磁铁被设计成电磁力(F)与线圈电 流(I)成线性比例关系。这意味着电 磁力仅与线圈电流有关。 开关电磁阀阀芯开关电磁阀阀芯 比例阀与开关电磁阀之间的另一个区别是阀芯的设计。 A further difference between a switching solenoid valve and a proportional valve is in the design of the spool. S S

18、 Q Q SWITCHING SOLENOID SPOOL 1) 对于开关阀，阀芯被设计为当阀 得电时，将压降最小化。 2)这意味着，控制小流量 阀开口要 求非常小并且很困难。 Which would mean that to control low flow rates, the amount of spool opening required would be very small and difficult to control. S S Q PROPORTIONAL SPOOL 1) 比例阀阀芯具有比较宽的边缘带 有槽口的台肩。 A proportional valve spool t

19、herefore has wider lands with notches cut into the edges. S S Q PROPORTIONAL SPOOL 2) 因此尽管通过阀的最大流量被减少了（与开 关阀对照）但小流量特别容易控制，阀的开口 更有规则。 So although the maximum flow through the valve may be reduced (compared to a switching valve) low flows in particular are more easily controlled and the opening of the

20、 valve is more gradual. 1) 比例阀阀芯具有比较宽的边缘带 有槽口的台肩。 S S Q PROPORTIONAL SPOOL 依据控制的最大流量，不同的阀芯能被适 用于不同形状、大小或阀芯槽口的大小特 定的阀 Depending upon the maximum flow to be controlled, different spools can be fitted to a particular valve which have different shape, size or number of spool notches. 直动式比例溢流阀直动式比例溢流阀 1)

21、比例阀也可以被用来控制压力。在此比例电磁铁被用来推动一个锥阀芯通过一个 弹簧压缩阀座。电磁力越大，推开锥阀芯离开阀座打开阀的压力要求越大。 Proportional valves can also be used to control pressure. In this case a proportional solenoid is used to push a poppet against a seat via a spring. The greater the solenoid force the greater the pressure required to push the popp

22、et off its seat and open the valve. DIRECT ACTING PROPORTIONAL RELIEF VALVE 2) 这里提供一个直动式溢流阀功能， 但象多数此类阀一样，只能允许一个 小流量通过该阀。 This provides a direct acting relief valve function but like most such valves, it is only possible to pass small flow rates through the valve. 1)比例阀也可以被用来控制压力。在此比例电磁铁被用来推动一个锥阀芯通过一

The greater the solenoid force the greater the pressure required to push the poppet off its seat and open the valve

BENEFITS OF PROPORTIONAL SYSTEMS 比例系统的优点比例系统的优点 远程控制远程控制 传统系统传统系统 在常规系统中为了调整执行器的速度， 流量控制阀必须安装在一个方便的或便 于接近的位置，这意味着与操纵台连接 的液压管路经常运行在高压下。 远程控制远程控制 比例系统比例系统 对于比例系统，控制阀为电子调节，仅需要 低功率的电缆连接操纵台和比

26、例阀即可。 With a proportional system however, where control valve adjustment is electronic, only low-power electrical cables need to be connected between the operators desk and the valve. PLC 远程控制远程控制 比例系统比例系统 今天更多的是，机械控制被数字电子控 制所取代，这里情况也是一样，比例阀 的电子控制能力为液压系统和电子控制 器之间提供一个简单的接口。 比例压力控制比例压力控制 使用比例方向和压 力控制阀

27、意味着机 器的所有液压功能 （运动和力）能被 电子地控制。 电磁阀的反应时间电磁阀的反应时间 SOLENOID VALVE RESPONSE TIME A further benefit of proportional valves is the ability to electronically control the speed of operation of the valve. 比例阀地进一步功能是电子控制阀操作速度的能力。 0.015 S SOLENOID VALVE RESPONSE TIME Depending upon its size and voltage supply,

28、a conventional switching solenoid valve will have an energisation response time of approximately 15 milli-seconds. 依据阀的大小和提供的电压，一个传统的开关电磁 阀对于一个得电动作的反应时间是15毫秒。 0.040 S SOLENOID VALVE RESPONSE TIME The de-energisation response time will be only slightly slower (typically around 25 ms) since the return

29、 spring produces less force than the solenoid . 由于回程弹簧的力小于电磁铁，断电的反应时间稍慢（通常25ms左右）， S 比例阀的反应时间比例阀的反应时间 PROPORTIONAL VALVE RESPONSE TIME 比例阀阀芯的运动速度能被阀电磁铁的供给电子信号确定。通过逐渐地增加或降低信号（叫做斜坡）可以 完成几秒的得电和断电时间。 The speed ofmovement of a proportional valve spool however can be determined by the electronic signal fe

By gradually increasing or decreasing the the signal (known as ramping), it is possible to achieve energisation and de-energisation response times of several seconds. 1.000 S PROPORTIONAL VALVE RESPONSE TIME 比例阀阀芯的运动速 度能被阀电磁铁的供 给电子信号确定。通 过逐渐地增加或降低 信号（叫做斜坡）可 以完成几秒的得电和 断电时间。 2

33、，由于执行器突然起停而产生地震动 会产生一个高的尖峰压力，从原理上来说这将导致液压泄漏。 顶升举例顶升举例- 比例系统比例系统PROPORTIONAL SYSTEM 如果电磁阀和流量控制阀被一个比例阀取代，不仅电梯的速度可以被电子地调整，而 且电梯的起停也可以被控制。 顶升举例顶升举例- 比例系统比例系统LIFT EXAMPLE - PROPORTIONAL SYSTEM 比例阀能够足够慢地打开以提供一个平滑加速度使电梯达到最大速度。 The proportional valve can be opened sufficiently slowly to provide a smooth acc

34、eleration of the lift up to its maximum speed. 顶升举例顶升举例- 比例系统比例系统LIFT EXAMPLE - PROPORTIONAL SYSTEM 同样地，减加速度也能够被控制，使阀芯运动回中位的速度变慢。 And likewise the deceleration can be controlled by slowing down the speed of spool movement back to the centre condition. time Distance 运动控制运动控制 MOTION CONTROL 因此总的来说，比例阀

35、能够提供全部的运动控制包括： In general therefore, proportional valves are capable of providing full motion control in terms of: time Acceleration Distance MOTION CONTROL 1. A smooth and controlled acceleration of an actuator up to its maximum speed. 一个平滑和受控的加速度，使执行器达到最大速度。 time Acceleration Velocity Distance MOT

36、ION CONTROL 2. Control of the actuator velocity and if necessary maintaining it constant with varying loads. 执行器速度的控制，如果必要维持其在变化负载下的稳定。 time Acceleration Deceleration Velocity Distance MOTION CONTROL 3. A smooth deceleration with minimal pressure peaks. 一个平滑的带有最小化压力峰值的减加速度 time Position Acceleration

37、 Deceleration Velocity Distance MOTION CONTROL 4. By using suitable sensing devices, the proportional valve can also be used to control the actuator stopping position to high levels of accuracy. 通过使用合适的传感装置，比例阀也可以被用来高精度地控制执行器的 位置 time Force 力控制力控制 FORCE CONTROL 比例阀也能够被用来控制执行 器力地输出，通过控制应用于 执行器上地压强。（例

38、如在冲 压 机 中 或 注 塑 机 应 用 ） Proportional valves can also be used to control the force output from an actuator (for example in press or plastic i n j e c t i o n m o u l d i n g applications) by controlling the pressure applied to the actuator. time Force FORCE CONTROL 在这样的实例中，不仅要 求控制最大的执行器压力 。而且要求控制应用中或

39、 运动中的压力等级。 In such cases it is often necessary to control not o n l y t h e m a x i m u m actuator pressure but also the rate at which the pressure is applied or removed. time Force FORCE CONTROL In fact the machine cycle may consist of a series of ramps and holding periods all of which can be achie

41、 force control can thus be achieved using proportional valves, and in some cases the same valve can be used for both motion and force control. This is usually referred to as PQ control ie. the control of both pressure (P) and flow (Q). Furthermore, all of these control functions can be achieved usin

42、g electronic inputs to the valve thus providing a simple interface to the machine controller. 运动和力的控制因此能够通过使用比例阀来完成，同时在某些场 合一个阀能够同时用于运动控制和力控制。这通常被称为PQ” 控制，也就是说同时控制压力和流量。 此外，所有这些控制功能可以使用输入到阀的电子输入信号被完 成，只需通过提供的到机械控制器的简单接口。 ELECTRONIC CONTROL 电子控制电子控制 阀输入信号阀输入信号 VALVE INPUT SIGNAL As described earlier,

43、 the electrical current to the solenoid of a proportional valve needs to be regulated and not just simply switched on or off as is the case with a conventional valve. 作为简单描述，提供给比例阀电磁铁的电流需要被调节，不象应用常 规阀的时仅有开关通或断那样简单。 阀输入信号阀输入信号 VALVE INPUT SIGNAL In theory, this could be achieved by using a dimmer swi

Practical problems such as heat generation and drift however mean that such a device would not normally be used except for the very simplest applications. 在理论上这可以通过使用一个调光开关式的元件来完成（例如，一个可变电阻）。 实际上由于发热和漂移这样的设备一般不被使用，除非一些最简单的应用中。 24 V DC 比例阀放大器比例阀放大器 PROPOR

45、TIONAL VALVE AMPLIFIER Normally, the current flowing through the proportional solenoid will be controlled by some form of electronic amplifier. The amplifier itself will require a power supply (usually 12 or 24 VDC) and a command input signal. 一般地，通过比例阀电磁铁地电流由一些形式地电子放大器控制。放大器要求一个 电源和一个命令输入信号。 24 V DC 比例阀放大器比例阀放大器 PROPORTIONAL VALVE AMPLIFIER 放大器地输出（电流）由输入信号控制，所有零输入信号，电流输出也是零。 The output of the amplifier (electrical current) is controlled by the input signal so with z
