Abstract: The rotary control orifice, in which the relative angular openings are adjusted by the rotary motion of the spool, thus controlling the flow area and the flow passing through, is a basic control element of hydraulic control valve. It has several advantages, such as little minimal steady flow rate, good anti-contamination, small driving power, small opening and shutting shock, and etc., over the translational control orifice. The working medium is tap water. A model is developed and numerical studies are carried out to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the rotary control orifice, including flow and pressure field, flow characteristics, flow torque. The relationships between the flow and the pressure drops, the efflux angle and the angular openings, the steady-state flow torque and the pressure drops as well as the angular openings are obtained. The results show that a) the orifice geometries have great effects on the efflux angle and the steady-state flow torque; b) Under the same openings and flow direction, the efflux angle is almost constant under different pressure drops. It is larger for meter-in flow than for meter-out flow and decreases with the increase of openings; c) The steady-state flow torque (including meter-in flow Tsfin and meter-out flowTsfout ) is proportional to the pressure drops and first increases and then decreases with the increase of openings, finally reaches zero at the fully opened position; d) The friction moment is proportional to the rotary speed so as the transient flow induced moment to the rotary acceleration. The in-depth study of the drag moment of rotary control orifice helps to design high performance rotary servo valve for robots. The in-depth study of the rotary control orifice provides a basis for developing high performance rotary control valve.

Abstract: A CAD/CAM idea with its relation model including the analyses of braid process, yarns internal geometry and mechanical properties is proposed. An infrastructure of CAD/CAM system with platform and criterions which endure expandability is introduced. Based on the platform, some subsystems are built to accomplish various tasks such as 3D modeling, finite element analysis and braided process simulation. In order to implement the platform, parameter transferring is analyzed and an example is given. Based on the braiding process of composite, the axis direction stiffness/flexibility matrix, cell stiffness and engineering constants is acquired by the analysis of yarns and cell. At last, a proper and feasible collaborative environment and the tasks assignment is proposed. Based on the platform, an analysis instance is finished and the results are exhibited.
