Abstract

EHPS(Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering) is a system to generate the steering operation force from the electric motor connected directly to the oil pump. To optimize the manufacturing cost and efficiency of the performance of the steering system is very important. Until now, the development of the hydraulic system is implemented by the field test which needs a significant time and cost. In this paper, flow measurement of an external gear pump is performed. Then using the experimental results, an approximate model expressed by flow rate characteristics is proposed to calculate the discharge flow rate. Proposed approximate model is verified by comparing with the experimental data and AMESim results. As the experimental data and AMESim results agree well, the approximate model data can be used as an alternative to highly cost experimental procedure.

Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering(EHPS) 시스템은 오일펌프에 직결된 전기모터를 통해 조향 조작력을 발생시키는 시스템이다. 이러한 스티어링 시스템 부품의 원가 및 성능을 최적화시키는 것은 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 EHPS 시스템과 같은 유압시스템의 개발은 실차 실험을 통해 문제점을 보완하여 개발하고 있기 때문에 많은 시간과 비용이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 EHPS용 개발한 외접형 기어펌프의 토출유량측정실험을 수행하고 실험 데이터를 통하여 토출유량을 계산할 수 있는 유량 근사식을 제안하였다. 제안한 유량 근사식의 검증을 위해 실험데이터 및 AMESim 유량값과 비교하였고, 그 결과 각각의 유량특성간 오차율 5%내외로 유사성을 입증하였다.
