Abstract
The article discusses a special stand for experimental research of dosing pumps of hydrostatic steering systems of self-propelled machines, which makes it possible to analyze the quality of the dosing pump under conditions that correspond to different control actions and loads that arise during the operation of the steering system. An electro-hydraulic scheme of the stand has been developed to determine the characteristics of a dosing pump under the action of a associated load. The characteristics of control and measuring devices for determining parameters that are controlled both in statics and in dynamics are presented. To record changes in signals over time, a recording system has been developed that realizes the recording of signals on a computer and their processing using the «PowerGraph» program. A feature of this stand is that the load for the dosing pump is formed in the form of a pressure drop in its outlet channels. This makes it possible to evaluate the performance of these products regardless of their working volume and facilitates the experimental study of the behavior of the system when reproducing certain modes of its operation over a period of time that is not limited to the stroke of the executive hydraulic cylinder of the steering system. The stand implements an original technique for reproducing the associated load in the outgoing channels of the dosing pump, for which an additional pump driven by a hydraulic motor is installed in the outgoing channels of the metering pump. Regulation of the speed of rotation of the drive motor makes it possible to set the required value of the associated load. The method for determining the quality indicator of the dosing pump operation under the action of a associated load is briefly described In this case, the indicator of relative flow rates in the outgoing channels of the metering pump is determined, which shows how many times the actual flow rate of the working fluid increases in comparison with the nominal one, which is determined for the dosing pump with a certain working volume by the speed of rotation of the input shaft.
