In rock excavation processes, hydraulic rotary-percussive drilling is used for drilling and blasting in both surface and underground drilling operations. A hydraulic percussive drilling system is composed of percussion, rotation, feed, and flushing functions. In this paper, we detail the interaction of feed and rotation functions using a rock model. The feed actuator is a cylinder drive and a hydraulic motor actuator rotates the drill bit. The feed is force controlled and rotation is torque controlled by a feed reduction valve acting on the pressure compensator of the mobile hydraulic proportional directional control valve. In addition, in this work an individual load sensing variable displacement pump is used for both hydraulic functions. A suitable rock model is developed and verified against a measurement set. The inputs of the rock model are percussion drill flow rate, percussion pressure, feed force, and rotation torque, and the outputs are drill bit penetration rate and rotational speed. The modeling work is carried out to enable intelligent rock drilling control system development for changing rock conditions. The simulation results obtained verify that the simple rock model emulates various rock characteristics ranging from extremely hard rock like granite to softer minerals and that the changes in drilling parameters were as expected.

Certain types of Load-sensing (LS) pumps utilize a hydro-mechanical control system designed to regulate the pressure difference, or margin pressure, between the inlet and outlet of a flow control valve. With a constant margin pressure, predictable flow control can be achieved by controlling the orifice area of the flow control valve. In this work, the stability of the pressure control system will be investigated. A combination of linear analysis and nonlinear analysis is employed to assess the stability of a particular LS pump system. Among many nonlinearities present in the hydro-mechanical system, of particular interest is the saturation inherent in the actuator that is used to displace the pump swash plate and the saturation within the 3-way spool valve that permits flow to reach the actuator. This saturation nonlinearity has been isolated from the rest of the system to enable stability analysis. Analysis of model characteristics is used to make conclusions about the stability of the system consisting of interconnected linear and nonlinear portions. The stability analysis is compared to results obtained through a simulation study using a nonlinear model based on first principles.

Abstract A control system with a proportional directional throttling control valve or a directional control servo valve, controlling a cylinder (linear hydraulic motor) is used in the ship steering gear drive, in the controllable pitch propeller control, in the variable capacity pump control system for hydraulic deck equipment motors or fixed pitch propellers in small ships (for example ferries). Energy savings in a constant capacity pump operation can be achieved by means of overflow valve controlled by the oil outlet pressure between the directional throttling control valve and the cylinder. Although structural volumetric losses cannot be eliminated in such a system, but it is possible to reduce considerably structural pressure losses, mechanical losses and volumetric losses in the pump, and mechanical losses in the cylinder too. The paper discusses these energy savings using an earlier developed by Paszota mathematical model of losses in elements, the energy efficiency of the system and the operating range of the cylinder. The paper also presents a comparison of the energy behavior of two widespread structures of hydrostatic systems: a standard individual systems with a throttling steering fed by a constant capacity pump. Both system solutions are described and equations of the total efficiency η of the system are presented. Diagrams of energy efficiency of two hydraulic systems working at the same parameters of a speed and a load of hydraulic linear motor, which were different due to structure and ability of energy saving, were presented and compared.

The article describes a new scheme of a hydraulic drive, which, thanks to the original design of a multimode directional control valve, has energy-efficient properties that are characteristic of load-sensing hydraulic drives. The proposed design of the multimode directional control valve ensures the operation of the hydraulic drive in four modes – unloading the hydraulic pump, regulating the flow of the hydraulic motor, the maximum flow of the hydraulic motor and protection against overload. In each of these modes, the hydraulic drive operates with low power losses due to the presence of a constant balancing pressure drop. This value is formed by a combination of design parameters of the directional control valve. The proposed value of the value of the balancing pressure drop of 0,7-0,8 MPa provides high energy efficiency of the hydraulic drive in the most critical operating mode – regulation of the hydraulic motor flow. In order to ensure the stability of the energy-efficient operation of the hydraulic drive in this mode, a research was made of the stability of transient processes with various combinations of design parameters of the overflow valve of the hydraulic control valve, as well as changes in the operating conditions of the hydraulic drive. As a result of theoretical researches, on the basis of mathematical modeling of working processes, combinations of design parameters of the hydraulic lock and the spool of the overflow valve were identified, which ensure the stability of the hydraulic drive in the mode of regulating the flow of the hydraulic motor. In particular, these are such parameters as the stiffness of the springs of the hydraulic lock and the overflow valve, the diameter and angle of inclination of the edge of the overflow valve spool, the area of the radial holes and the auxiliary choke of the overflow valve. It was also determined that in this mode, the stability of the hydraulic drive will be ensured under conditions of a load pressure of up to 20 MPa, a hydraulic motor flow rate of 100 l / min and a working fluid temperature of 80 °C.

With the development and application of wind power generation and wave power generation, the hydraulic pump-motor control system has a unique effect on power conversion and constant speed driving of power generator. In this situation, the hydraulic pump-motor control system is required that the output speed of the hydraulic motor must be constant when the flow-rate input is randomly varied. Therefore, the power generator driven by the hydraulic motor can maintain constant speed and generate constant frequency electricity power. Considering the particular requirement mentioned above, this paper proposes a stratified-adjustment closed-loop speed control system which is rough-tuned by a variable-displacement motor and fine-tuned by a bypass proportional flow control valve and a control strategy based on dual-PID method. When the flow-rate from the hydraulic pump is randomly varied, the displacement of the variable-displacement motor and the opening of the bypass proportional flow control valve are stratified adjusting by a dual-PID controller, so that the output speed of the variable-displacement motor can maintain constant despite the flow-rate input varying. The simulation and the experiment show that the dual-PID stratified algorithm is effective for constant speed control of hydraulic motor under variable flow-rate input, and it fulfills the requirement of generating constant frequency electricity power.
