Electro-hydraulic proportional control system can be set according to the PLC control cabinet, regulation and off valve angle and the angle of the speed of controll able scope, the proportional solenoid directional valve and angular distance sensor (encoder) to form a feedback loop, control accuracy can reach 0.2‰, and is equipped with a control cabinet on-site operation function,accumulator has enough volume to open and close the valve once without a hydraulic source; The hand pump operating system can openor close the butterfly valve using the hydraulic hand pump in the case of system power failure and loss of pressure.
I Composition and performance of electro-hydraulic actuator
The electro-hydraulic actuator is generally composed of four parts: the hydraulic actuator, the proportional control circuit (on-off is the solenoid valve control circuit), the hydraulic stationand the PLC control cabinet (on-off is the ordinary electric control cabinet).The explosion-proof control cabinet can be selected according to the working conditions on the site.
1. Actuator
The actuator of this system adopt the shift-fork type double-acting hydraulic actuators, with the daily working pressure of 12MPa and the maximum working pressure of 16MPa.
1）Using high performance shifting fork mechanism, with its unique torque curve to drive most of the Angle stroke valve the most ideal mechanism, its characteristics for large diameter valve to provide a large opening torque; The guide bar can not only absorb the later alforce of the fork mechanism but also correct the movement direction of the piston rod. The bronze fork bushing and sliding block provide high mechanical efficiency and extended service life.
2）The hydraulic cylinder adopts high precision cold-drawn steel tube, which can bearthe maximum pressure above 31.5MPa. The surface of piston rod and guide rod is chrome plated and polished, which can effectively prevent corrosion and reduce friction resistance.The seal adopts imported y-type combination ring and PTFE+bronze combination guide, which makes the service life of the oil cylinder>.2 million times, thus greatly improving the service life of the actuator.

II Operating principle and method of electro-hydraulic actuator
1. Principle of hydraulic pressure
Actuator hydraulic working principle（Refer to drawing 1）：
1）Switch valveand valve opening adjustment: make two 2/3 open solenoid directional valve1ya-1 and 1ya-2 solenoid coils energized at the same time to close the bypassoil circuit. At this point, the proportional solenoid valve can accept 4 ~ 20mA control signal to open the actuator to the corresponding angle, and according to the feedback signal of the encoder angle correction, constitute a closed control loop, to achieve the valve positioning accuracy. 4 ma signal valve isfully closed, 20mA signal valve is fully open, any signal between 4 and 20mA corresponds to a positioning valve Angle;
Note: the design mode of two 2/3 through solenoid valves in seriesis to minimize the interference to the normal operation of the system if one2/3 through solenoid valve fails.
2）Emergency quick opening valve due to power loss: if two 2/3 solenoid valves 1ya-1 and1ya-2 lose power at the same time, the solenoid valve by-pass oil path opens,and the high pressure oil of the accumulator passes through the logic valve to drive the hydraulic actuator to open quickly. Valve opening time ≤1S;
3）Automatic pressure filling function of the accumulator: when the system pressure is low to the set value of the oil pump on the PLC control panel, the system startsthe motor to fill the pressure of the accumulator. When the system pressure reaches the set value of the oil pump on the PLC control panel, the motor stop sand the system pressure is completed.
4）Emergency hand pump operation: close the high pressure ball valve 10-1, 10-2, put the manual reversing valve on the hand pump 9 on the left position, shake the handpump, the valve closes; Put the manual reversing valve on hand pump 9 on the right position, shake the hand pump and open the valve.
2. Operation instructions and precautions for electro-hydraulic actuator
1）Inject clean hydraulic oil (preferably after filtering with 20 micron filter core) into the oil inlet of the hydraulic station. It is advisable to fuel up to about 2/3 of the oil tank. The fluid should be deposited for one to two hours after injection, allowing it to naturally release air from the oil. Hydraulic oil most avoid dirty deterioration, so 3-6months should be replaced, and clean the tank.
2）Before connecting the hydraulic pipeline between the hydraulic execution structure and the hydraulic station, if the seamless steel pipe is used, it must be pickling to remove the residue in the pipe, so as to prevent contamination and block age of the components in the hydraulic system.
3）Check whether the manual reversing valve in the manual pump system is in the middle position and the manual system is in the closed state before starting the motor power of the hydraulic station
4）Switchon the power and start the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump needs no-load preheating for 20 minutes before reversing test. EH hydraulic oil oil suitable working temperature: 30-55℃(Note: observe the oil temperature at any time duringthe test, and stop the operation when the oil temperature exceeds 60℃. Operateonly when the oil temperature is cool to prevent damage to the system seal.)
5）Electriclocal operation: press the "remote /local" button on the controlcabinet to the local operation position, then press and hold the "open"button on the touch screen, and gradually open the valve; Press and hold the"close" button to close the valve. Note:after the hydraulic system is connected to the actuator for the first time, thevalve should be repeatedly opened and closed several times in the wholeprocess, so as to eliminate the air in the hydraulic pipeline. During operation, the tank cursor should be observed at all times, and the oil shouldbe filled to 2/3 of the tank immediately when the oil is below 1/2
of the volume.
6）Remote operation: push the remote control button on the control cabinet to the remote control position, then the valve can be opened or closed by input 4-20ma control signal, and the size of 4-20mA control signal can be changed to accurately control the valve position opening
7）Manual pump operation in case of power failure: cut off the power supply of the hydraulic station, open the twohigh-pressure ball valves beside the manual pump (the handle is parallel to the box cover), position the red handle on the hydraulic manual pump in the position of pressing down, and then pressurize the long handle of the pump bypulling it up and down; Turn the red handle on the manual reversing valve to reverse the oil flow and open and close the butterfly valve. (note: when the manual reversing valve handle is in the middle, the valve is positioned).
8）After the operation of the emergency manual pump system, the manual reversing valve must be placed in the middle in time to prevent mutual interference during electric operation.
9）Accumulator function: the accumulator plays a role in this system to maintain the stability of oil line working pressure and enough to open or close the valve once when the hydraulic power source is lost.
10）Emergency cut-off operation: press the red emergency cut-off button onthe control cabinet panel to cut off the power supply of the hydraulic system and the valve will stop immediately. If you want to restore the working state, you need to reverse rotate the red cut off button, make it popup, and then press the power button on the side to start it.
11）HPU is equipped with precision filter. If the alarm indicator is on, the internalfilter element should be replaced or cleaned in time to ensure the normaloperation of the hydraulic system.
