Study on the Influence of Triangular Groove Structure on Steady-State Flow Force Compensation Characteristics

In this study, a structurally improved spool was designed. The diameter of one side of the spool stem was reduced, making the spool stem into a rounded table shape. A triangular groove was circumscribed on the step and on the same side. After liquid flow was guided through the triangular groove, the...

description In this study, a structurally improved spool was designed. The diameter of one side of the spool stem was reduced, making the spool stem into a rounded table shape. A triangular groove was circumscribed on the step and on the same side. After liquid flow was guided through the triangular groove, the flow direction changed. A flow component in the negative direction was generated, which reversely impacted the liquid flow in the positive direction. The liquid flow angle at the outlet increased; that is, jet angle increased and flow force decreased. The simulation results show that, increasing the depth, <i>H</i>, of the triangular groove has a positive effect on flow-force compensation and was conducive to the stability of the valve core. Properly increasing the groove’s bottom diameter, <i>D<sub>1</sub></i>, of the triangular groove was conducive to the stability of the spool, but when <i>D<sub>1</sub></i> was too large, the flow force increased. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, which proves that the improved structure can effectively reduce the flow force of the spool.
