Abstract
Aiming at the existing problems of traditional water piston pump used in the naval ship, such as low efficiency, high noise, large vibration, and nonintelligent control, a new type of linear-motor-driven water piston pump is developed and its vibration characteristics are analyzed in this research. Based on the 3D model of the structure, the simulation analyses including static stress analysis, modal analysis, and harmonic response analysis are conducted. The simulation results reveal that the mode shape under low frequency stage is mainly associated with the eccentricity swing of the piston rod. The vibration experiment results show that the resonance frequency of linear-motor-driven water piston pump is concentrated upon 500 Hz and 800 Hz in the low frequency range. The dampers can change the resonance frequency of the system to a certain extent. The vibration under triangular motion curve is much better than that of S curve, which is consistent with the simulation conclusion. This research provides an effective method to detect the vibration characteristics and a reference for design and optimization of the linear-motor-driven water piston pump.
Highlights
High-pressure water pump is one of important piece of equipment in ship engineering [1, 2]
Owing to both rotary motion and reciprocating motion existing in conventional axial piston pump, they lead to a large amplitude and low frequency pressure pulsation
The vibration characteristics of the linear-motor-driven water piston pump are affected by several factors, such as mechanical structure and servo control system
Summary
High-pressure water pump is one of important piece of equipment in ship engineering [1, 2]. The traditional axial piston pump driven by rotary motor has some intrinsic disadvantages It would produce the alternating axial impact forces acting on the cylinder and piston when the high and low pressure are switching and spread out through the swash plate and bearing. Bahr et al [9] studied the vibration characteristics of the pumping mechanism of constant power regulated swash plate axial piston pump by developing a mathematical model. Aiming at the existing problems of traditional piston pump used in the naval ship, such as low efficiency, high noise, large vibration, and nonintelligent control, a new type of linear-motor-driven water piston pump is developed and its vibration characteristics are analyzed in this research. The vibration response characteristics of linearmotor-driven water piston pump will be investigated so as to avoid the resonance and reduce the system vibration
