Structure optimization and flow field simulation of plate type high speed on-off valve

There is a relatively complex flow state inside the high speed on-off valve, which often produces low pressure area and oil reflux in the high-speed opening and closing process of the spool, causing cavitation and vortex and other phenomena. These phenomena will affect the stability of the internal flow field of the plate valve and the flow characteristics of the high speed on-off valve. Aiming at the problems of small flow rate and instability of internal flow field, a new spool structure was designed. The flow field models of two-hole and three-hole plate spools with different openings were established, and software Ansys Workbench was chosen to mesh the model. The standard k-e turbulence model was selected for numerical simulation using Fluent software. The pressure distribution and velocity distribution under the same pressure and different opening degree were obtained. The structure and parameters of the optimization model were also obtained. The stability analysis of flow field under different pressure was carried out. The results demonstrate that the three-hole spool has a similar flow field change with the two-hole spool, but it does not create a low pressure zone, and the three-hole spool can work stably at 2 MPa or less. This method improves the appearance of low pressure area and oil backflow in the process of high speed opening and closing of spool. The stability of flow field and the flow rate of high speed switch valve are improved. Finally, the products designed in this paper are compared with existing hydraulic valve products. The results show that the three-hole plate type high speed on-off valve designed in this paper maintains the stability of the internal flow field under the condition of 200 Hz and large opening degree, and realizes the increase of flow rate.
