Abstract

Abstract

In order to deal with the excessive temperature rise and noise of the hydraulic power unit in the lower extremity exoskeleton robot, ANSYS Fluent software was used for the simulation tests of Z-channel and cross-channel, which are the main components of internal flow channel of the hydraulic manifold block. Furthermore, 5 groups of simulation test with different sizes are designed to analyze how the stability of flow velocity and pressure loss change with channel dimension. The simulation test shows that when the channel diameter is 5 mm, the pressure loss of the cross-channel increases with eccentricity between the inlet and outlet; and the stability of flow velocity is the best when eccentricity is 1.25 mm. The pressure loss of Z-channel reaches the minimum when the distance between inlet and outlet is 17 mm, and the stability of fluid velocity increases with the distance. The optimized prototype test shows that the maximum temperature of the hydraulic manifold block was decreased by 3.3 ℃ and the maximum noise was decreased by 7.6 dB.
