Embodiment 1
[0039] In this embodiment, a hydraulic actuator with no friction and zero leakage is disclosed, as shown in
[0040] As shown in
[0041] A drive oil access hole 20 is connected to the high-pressure tube, and the hydraulic oil is introduced into the control cavity by the drive oil access hole 20. Under the action of the hydraulic oil, the thickened disc structure A 15 and the thickened disc structure B16 are elastically deformed so that the displacement can be output.
[0042] To ensure the sealing performance of the hydraulic actuator and prevent the oil from leaking, a seal ring 17 is installed between the second end face of the thickened disc structure A 15 and the first end face of the thickened disc structure B 16. Specifically, a seal groove 22 is set on the second end face of the thickened disc structure A 15, and the seal ring 17 is installed in the seal groove 22. The seal ring 17 is used for preventing the hydraulic oil in the control cavity from leaking in the junction of the second end face of the thickened disc structure A 15 and the first end face of the thickened disc structure B16, the optimal choice of the seal ring 17 is an O-ring.
[0043] The thickened disc structure A 15 and the thickened disc structure B 16 include a plurality of stiffness weakening areas 23 and stiffness enhanced areas 24. The stiffness weakening areas 23 and the stiffness enhanced areas 24 are alternately arranged along the radial direction of the thickened disc structure A 15 and the thickened disc structure B 16. By alternately arranging the stiffness enhanced areas 24 and the stiffness weakening areas 23, the stress distribution along the radius direction is optimized, the stress concentration of the thickened disc structure is reduced, and the deformation of the thickened disc structure is fully utilized. As shown in
[0044] The thickened disc structure A 15 and the thickened disc structure B 16 are connected by a connecting screw 21.
[0045] The groove A is set on the second end face of the thickened disc structure A15, and the groove B is set on the first end face of the thickened disc structure B 16. The second end face of the thickened disc structure A 15 is connected with the first end face of the thickened disc structure B 16. The control cavity is formed by the groove A and the groove B. The bottom of the groove A and the bottom of the groove B both include a plurality of stiffness weakening areas and stiffness enhanced areas. The stiffness weakening areas of the groove A and the groove B are set relatively, and the stiffness enhanced areas are set relatively to form a control cavity.
[0046] In the specific implementation, the thickened disc structure B can also adopt a fixed bracket 30, and a drive oil access hole 31 connected to the control cavity is set on the fixed bracket 30.
[0047] As shown in
[0048] The hydraulic actuator with no friction and zero leakage disclosed in this embodiment, for the area of the control cavity between the thickened disc structure A and the thickened disc structure B, as well as the thickness of the stiffness enhanced area and the stiffness weakening area, the number of alternate arrangements should be determined according to the volume limit of the hydraulic actuator disclosed in this embodiment and the mechanical properties of the manufacturing material, and the design of key size parameters should be completed under the condition of ensuring the fatigue strength of the actuator.
[0049] The hydraulic actuator with no friction and zero leakage disclosed in this embodiment outputs the axial displacement based on the elastic deformation of the material, adopts the design of a static seal, and there is no motion pair inside the structure, which effectively avoids the inherent friction, leakage, hysteresis, creep and other nonlinear characteristics of the traditional hydraulic actuators, and reduces the difficulty of high-precision displacement and force control. The end face of the static seal is sealed with a seal ring, which has low processing accuracy requirements and greatly reduces manufacturing costs. At the same time, there is no motion pair inside the actuator, which has the characteristics of a simple structure and small axial size.
[0050] The stiffness enhanced areas and the stiffness weakening areas are alternately arranged in the thickened disc structure of the actuator. On this basis, the sizes of the stiffness weakening area and the stiffness enhanced area are optimized according to the material stress limit, which reduces the stress concentration and gives full play to the deformation of the disc structure. At the same time, the stiffness of the actuator is designable, and different stiffness actuators can meet different stroke requirements.

The difference between the commanded displacement and the real-time displacement ?=f?x is processed and the control signal u is output to the proportional directional valve 4. The control cavity pressure difference p1?p2 of the disc actuator I 9 and the disc actuator II 7 is changed by controlling the opening and direction of the proportional directional valve and the purpose of closed-loop control of the displacement of the driven platform 13 is realized. At this time, the driving force F=A1(p1?p2)/2 of the driven platform 13.
[0065] The proportional directional valve 4 can also be replaced by a proportional relief valve or a servo directional valve, and the oil circuit is the same as the above oil circuit.
