Design of the Modular Pneumatic Valve Terminal

Abstract

The paper presents design of the modular pneumatic valve terminal, which was made on the basis of the patent application No A1 402905 "A valve for controlling fluid power drives, specially for pneumatic actuators, and the control system for fluid power drives valves". The authors describe a method of operation of the system with double-acting valve and 5/2 (five ways and two position) valve. Functions of the valve, and an example of application of the valve terminal in the production process were presented. 3D solid models of all the components of the valve were made. The paper presents a complete 3D model of the valve in various configurations. Using CAD-embedded SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation computational fluid dynamics CFD analysis was also carried out of compressed air flow in the ways of the valve elements. AbstraktPříspěvek prezentuje návrh modulárního terminálu pneumatických ventilů, který byl proveden na základě patentové přihlášky č A1 402905 A ventilem je určen, pro řízení tekutinových elektrických pohonů, speciálně pro pneumatické pohony. Autoři popisují způsob provozu systému s dvojcestného ventilu a ventilu typu 5/2 (pět cest, a dvě polohy). Byly prezentovány funkce ventilu, a příklad použití terminálu ve výrobním procesu. Byly provedeny pevné 3D modely všech složek ventilu. Příspěvek prezentuje kompletní 3D model ventilu v různých konfiguracích. Pro výpočty a analýzu byl použit CAD-embedded SolidWorks Flow Systém, byla také provedena CFD analýza proudění stlačeného vzduchu v cestách ventilu.

Brain-Computer Interface for Control of Electro–hydraulic Servo Drive

“…Also replacing analogue devices with digital ones with their possibility of networking, greatly expanded the range of applications of computer science. In the valves there are used microcontroller, they are at the same class of PC microprocessor, but with more computing power, and with the possibility of on-line communication [7][8][9].…”

“…Although pneumatic drives have been known for many decades, new papers are still being reported. They present solutions for theoretical models that focus on drives dynamics [1,2] tracking positioning [3], friction in insulating nodes [4,5], innovative control valves [6,7], flexible muscle [8][9][10] drives or heat transfer of the operating medium [11] as well as modeling of the medium flow [12]. Positional and follow-up control of pneumatic drives are complicated issues and require use of modern valves with high dynamics and taking innovative approaches to applying algorithms and controllers.…”
