The efficiency of hydraulic drive system has become one of the significant issues in mobile robot. In this paper, an energy efficient two-stage supply pressure hydraulic system is proposed to solve the energy waste in the one-stage supply pressure system of the downhole traction robot. This novel two-stage hydraulic system can match different pressure requirements of actuator by changing the modes of supply pressure, which is helpful to reduce the energy loss and improve the efficiency for traction robot. Based on the robot working principle, the load characteristics in different actuators are obtained and the shortage in traditional hydraulic system is analyzed. The novel hydraulic system which consists of a high-pressure source and a low-pressure source is designed, including the system structure and energy supply method. According to the energy flow process, energy loss models of the system and components are established to analyze energy-saving principle of the novel hydraulic system. The feasibility and efficiency of two-stage supply pressure system are verified by simulating the operating process of telescopic mechanism. Finally, the simulation shows that control precision of the novel system can reach 3.5 mm and the efficiency is increased to 59.53%, which can provide theoretical reference for design of hydraulic drive system in traction robot and the efficiency improvement of multiactuator mobile robot.

During the movement of the tractor on the uneven terrain, there are fluctuations that cause jumps of the working fluid in the hydraulic system and high dynamic loads. The solution to this problem is the use of an energy-saving hydraulic drive with a hydraulic accumulator and a system of aggregates this leads to increased efficiency and increased productivity of skidding grippers. A mathematical model of working processes with an energy-saving hydraulic drive is compiled.

The target application of this study is hydraulic excavators, which are one of the most common machines found at construction sites across the world. Road constructions and improvements, laying operation of cables or pipes and building can be seen in urban areas and digging and dumping operations of natural resource are done in country regions. For the construction site in urban areas, mini hydraulic excavators with operating weights up to 6 tons are often used and they make up more than 60% of the total hydraulic excavators market [1]. In recent years, a number of new system architectures for mobile hydraulic systems have been proposed. Examples of such improved architectures are displacement control, transformer systems and valve controlled systems with multiple pressure rails. For these systems, electronic controls are always used. Although these new methods are promising, they cannot be applied to mini-excavators, because today’s mini-hydraulic excavators do not use electronic controls as this would increase costs and make the system complex. Therefore, the goal of this study is to propose a fully hydro-mechanical valve controlled constant pressure system, which can be applied to mini-excavators in the future. This paper begins by introducing the details of this novel hydraulic system and shows its advantages. Using a simulation model of an 18 ton excavator, it is confirmed that the novel system functions well and the energy efficiency is compared to a conventional Load Sensing system. The simulation results show that the novel system can save 22% and 24% of fuel in leveling and 90° dig-dump cycles respectively.

Different procedures to improve the energy efficiency of a hydraulic drive system have been surveyed in this article. The energy-saving approaches are classified into four categories: hybridization, control algorithms, waste energy recovery and reduction of energy losses. Also, the sub-categories of each strategy are discussed individually in brief. The energy efficiency can go up to 69% using a hybridization strategy, whereas using a fuel-saving strategy is within the range of 20–40%. Another strategy, i.e., control algorithms, yields 40% of fuel savings on the displacement-controlled excavator system. Similarly, the maximum potential to recover the braking energy is about 78% in the case of the Constant Pressure System (CPS) system using flywheel under the category of waste energy recovery. Moreover, 56–66.1% throttling energy saving potential is observed on an On/Off high-speed valve-controlled hydraulic system under the reduction of energy loss strategy. Different energy saving potentials of the hydraulic system have been presented in tabular form for a clear understanding of the historical development in this field.

SUMMARY In this paper, mathematical models of kinematics, statics and inverse dynamics are derived firstly according to the mechanical structure of leg hydraulic drive system (LHDS). Then, all the above models are integrated with MATLAB/Simulink to build the LHDS simulation model, the model not only considers influence of leg dynamic characteristics on hydraulic system but also takes into account nonlinearity, variable load characteristics and other common problems brought by hydraulic system, and solves compatibility and operation time which brought by using multiple software simultaneously. The experimental results show the simulation model built in this paper can accurately express characteristics of the system.

Energy-efficient processing of TiB compound with nanowhiskers by micropyretic synthesis is investigated in this paper. Micropyretic synthesis not only offers shorter processing time but also excludes the requirement for high-temperature sintering and it is considered as the one of the novel energy-saving processing techniques. Experimental study and numerical simulation are both carried out to investigate the correlation of the processing parameters on the microstructures of the micropyretically synthesized products. The diffusion-controlled reaction mechanism is proposed in this study. It is noted that nanosize TiB whiskers only occurred when the combustion temperature is lower than the melting point of TiB but higher than the extinguished temperature. The results generated in the numerical calculation can be used as a helpful reference to select the proper route of processing nanosize materials. The Arrhenius-type plot of size and temperature is used to calculate the activation energy of TiB reaction. In addition to verifying the accuracy of the experimental measures, the reaction temperature for producing the micropyretically synthesized products with nanofeatures can be predicted.

Because ordinary hydraulic system exists multiple fault, power waste and hard controlling in actuators due to the complexity of actuators and variability of load. A new hydraulic system based on the load sensing technology is designed for the new type steel arch installing machine. The results of the simulation for forearm loop based on AMESim show that the designed hydraulic system is energy-efficient and load sensing function is effectively achieved, the actuator control performance is well.

The problem of initialization of active learning is considered in this paper. Especially, this paper studies the problem in an imbalanced data scenario, which is called as class-imbalance active learning cold-start. The novel method is two-stage clustering-based active learning cold-start (ALCS). In the first stage, to separate the instances of minority class from that of majority class, a multi-center clustering is constructed based on a new inter-cluster tightness measure, thus the data is grouped into multiple clusters. Then, in the second stage, the initial training instances are selected from each cluster based on an adaptive candidate representative instances determination mechanism and a clusters-cyclic instance query mechanism. The comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method from the aspects of class coverage, classification performance, and impact on active learning.
