Automatic Design of Hydraulic Manifold Block Based on 3D Printing

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of structural and internal quality optimization bottlenecks caused by the limitation of traditional machining capacity, the automatic design method of hydraulic manifold blocks (HMB) based on 3D printing is designed. According to the processing capability of complex parts and the production economy of small batch production, the typical hole structure of HMB is optimized with the support of 3D printing and evaluating of fluent simulation and experiment. A set of hole design rules was put forward and the automatic design of HMB based on the intelligent optimization algorithm was realized. The design method is verified by engineering design examples, which provides a reference for the further optimization of the structure and internal quality of HMB.
