Abstract

In this paper, an electric servo actuator implementation scheme with an energy recovery link is proposed to address the potential energy being wasted when a load falls. The new electric servo actuator recovers the potential energy dissipated during the load-falling progress by using an accumulator. The accumulator can also provide extra thrust when the load is lifted. Moreover, a dynamic model is established based on the theory of power bond graphs to analyze the dynamic and energy consumption characteristics of the new electric servo actuator. The simulation results show that the new electric servo actuator can significantly reduce the required motor power and effectively recover the potential energy of the load. This achievement is very significant for improving the energy efficiency of electric servo actuators and mitigating global warming. In addition, the modeling method used in this paper has important reference significance for the energy consumption analysis of other mechanical systems with complex energy domains.
