Ratchet-type micro-hydraulic actuator to mimic muscle behavior

Andreas Gödecke; Wolfgang Zöls; Georg Bachmaier

Piezo actuators are usually found in applications where high precision, high stiffness, but small displacement are required. This makes them the actuation principle of choice for many microand nano-positioning applications. In contrast, animal and human muscles have a comparatively small stiffness, but long displacements. Their force is generated by a ratchet-type mechanism of the actin and myosin cross-bridges. In this paper, we will present a piezohydraulic “ratchet” design, using two valves to mimic the actin-myosin cross-bridges. The actuator is thus able to realize very long linear actuator displacements. The mechanism will be analyzed, and it will be shown that force-velocity and power characteristics of this type of actuator design are highly adaptable, and comparable to muscle tissue. When designing robots for human-robot collaboration, or social machines operating in close proximity to humans, this makes them inherently safe, even when control fails. Measurements from a prototype actuator are shown, demonstrating the practical feasibility of the design.

In-Cylinder Pressure Measurement with a Gasoline Injector

Wolfgang Zöls; Georg Bachmaier; Matthias Gerlich; Felix Antritter; Claus Hillermeier

Abstract The paper describes a model based concept for measuring the combustion pressure with a piezo gasoline injector. For this purpose, the integrated piezo actuator is also used as sensor to avoid additional components and costs. In order to reconstruct the exact pressure signal, the time-varying piezo parameters are identified using a minimization approach. The potential of the concept is shown by experiments on a single cylinder test station.

Self-sensing-Aktoren am Beispiel eines piezoelektrischen Einspritzventils mit sensorischen Fähigkeiten

Wolfgang Zöls; Georg Bachmaier; Matthias Gerlich; Felix Antritter; Claus Hillermeier

Zusammenfassung Piezoelektrische Einspritzventile werden im Automobilbereich bisher als reine Aktoren verwendet, obwohl die darin enthaltenen Piezoaktoren als sogenannte Self-sensing-Aktoren in der Lage sind, auch sensorische Aufgaben zu übernehmen. Dadurch könnten verbrennungsspezifische Größen bestimmt werden, ohne die Kosten- und Bauraumanforderungen wesentlich zu erhöhen. Im folgenden Artikel wird ein piezoelektrisches Einspritzventil mit sensorischen Fähigkeiten vorgestellt. Es wird gezeigt, dass dieses Bauteil die Überwachung des Zylinderdrucks erlaubt.
