Abstract:
As a kind of hydraulic power component, the external gear pump determines the performance of the entire hydraulic system. The degradation state of gear pumps can be monitored by sensors. Based on the accelerated life test (ALT), this paper proposes a method to identify the wear degradation state of external gear pumps based on flow field analysis. Firstly, the external gear pump is theoretically analyzed. Secondly, dynamic grid technology is used to simulate the internal flow field of the gear pump in detail. Finally, the theoretical and simulation results are verified by the ALT. The results show that this method can effectively identify the wear degradation status of four sample pumps. The results of the work not only provide a solution to the research on the wear degradation of external gear pumps, but also provide strong technical support for the predictive maintenance of hydraulic pumps.
