Abstract

This study relates to a device that increases efficiency by reducing air bubbles in a hydraulic system used in hydraulic machinery. The reverse design and product production of the bubble reduction device, which is a commercial product overseas, was carried out. Overseas commercial products were set as the base model, a rotary rotor and an inclined rotor were added to increase the surface area of the fluid, and an annular equal distribution part with a slot in the lower part was additionally applied to distribute the fluid evenly. In addition, internal flow trends were analyzed and a system that evenly distributes the linear flow of fluid was selected as the first improvement model. Based on the first improvement model, a case where the angle of the inclined rotor is 45° was selected as the second improvement model. Based on this, as a result of setting the exit width of the annular equally distributed part as a variable, the bubble reduction efficiency was highest when the lower slot diameter of the annular part was 10mm. Finally, the system in which the average cross-sectional flow velocity decreased by 147% compared to the Base Model was derived as the final improved model.

본 연구는 유압기계에 사용되는 유압 시스템에서 기포를 저감시킴으로써 효율을 증대시키는 장치에 관한 것이다. 해외 상용품인 기포저감장치의 역설계를 진행하였고, 실험에 용이하게 제품들을 제작하였다. 작동성 실험을 위해 총 3종류의 시스템을 구성하였다. 해외 상용품을 Base Model로 설정하였고, 하강하는 유체의 표면적을 넓히기 위해 회전형 Rotator와 경사형 Rotator를 추가하였으며, 유체를 균등하게 분배해주기 위해 하단부에 슬롯이 파진 환형 균등분배 파트를 추가 적용하였다. 또한 내부 유동경향을 분석하였으며, 유체의 직선적인 흐름을 균등하게 분배시키는 시스템을 1차 개선 모델로 선정하였고, 설계 변수를 적용하여 추가 유동해석을 진행하였다. 1차 개선 모델을 바탕으로 경사형 Rotator의 각도가 45°일 때를 2차 개선 모델로 선정하였다. 이를 기준으로 환형 균등분배 파트의 출구너비를 변수로 설정한 결과, 환형 파트의 하단부 슬롯 직경이 10mm일 때 기포저감 효율이 가장 높았다. 최종적으로 Base Model 대비 평균 단면 유속이 147% 감소한 시스템을 최종 개선 모델로 도출하였다.
