A test platform is established as per the practical working condition of elevating platform fire truck. The influences of pipes and load on dynamic characteristics of load-sensing system are studied by series of step response experiments. Experimental results show that the feedback pipe makes the most important influence on the dynamic response speed of load-sensing system. Its internal diameter should be optimized for given length of pipe. On the other hand, the stability of load-sensing pump is improved as the length of input pipe increases in a certain range. The influence of input pipe on the dynamic response speed is caused mainly by the pressure-wave travel time in the input pipe.
The traditional lumped parameter model of fluid pipe is introduced and its drawbacks are pointed out.Furthermore, two suggestions are put forward to remove these drawbacks.Firstly, the structure of equivalent circuit is modified, and then the evaluation of equivalent fluid resistance is change to take the frequency-dependent friction into account.Both simulation and experiment prove that this model is precise to characterize the dynamic behaviors of fluid in pipe.
The simulation model of a valve control hydraulic system with long pipe is established in Simulink4.0,and then the step responses of the systems with difference pipe parameters are investigated by simulation.Simulation results show that the long pipes will slow down the step response of system and make it fluctuate periodically.The results of simulation conform to the results of experiment on the whole,which proves the mathematic model is correct.
