Zusammenfassung: | Although a two-dimensional (2D) valve has excellent performance, the processing of its spiral groove has a high cost and is time-consuming. This paper proposes a novel torque motor based on an annulus air gap (TMAAG) to replace the negative feedback function of the spiral groove to reduce the machining difficulty. In order to study the torque change law of the TMAAG, the air gap permeance was analyzed, and then a qualitative analytical model was established. Orthogonal tests were carried out to initially select the crucial parameters, which were further optimized through a back propagation (BP) neural network and genetic algorithm. The prototype of TMAAG was machined, and a special experimental platform was built, and experiment results are similar to the simulation values, which verifies the accuracy of the air gap analysis and qualitative model. For torque-angle characteristics, the output torque increases with both current and rotation angle and reaches about 0.754 N·m with 2 A and 1.5°. While for torque-displacement characteristics, due to the negative feedback mechanism, the output torque decreases with increasing armature displacement, which is about 0.084 N·m with 2 A and 1 mm. The research validates the unique negative feedback mechanism of the TMAAG and indicates that it can be potentially used as an electro-mechanical converter of a 2D valve. |
