“…They found that the material of the solenoid core and dynamic performance are not highly correlated. Yuan et al [ 15 ] studied the pole shoe structure of a flat-type proportional solenoid actuator and analyzed the influence of six magnetic materials and geometric parameters on the constant force characteristics in detail. Yun et al [ 16 , 17 ] analyzed the characteristics of the force of attraction of the electromagnetic proportional solenoid actuator in pressure control valves by varying the dither-like duty cycle signal of pulse-width modulation (PWM) and optimized the structural parameters of the control cone using an optimization algorithm.…”

In this study, the performance of a long-stroke moving-iron proportional solenoid actuator (MPSA) was improved by combining numerical simulations and experiments. A finite element model of the MPSA was developed; its maximum and mean relative absolute errors of electromagnetic force were 4.3% and 2.3%, respectively, under typical work conditions. Seven design parameters including the cone angle, cone length, depth of the inner hole of the coil skeleton, cone width of the armature, inner cone diameter, and initial position of the moving-iron core were selected for developing the model, and the coefficient of the variation in electromagnetic force, nominal acceleration, 95% of the maximum stable output electromagnetic force, and corresponding response time were used as the performance indicators. The constraint relation between each performance indicator and the influence of each design parameter on the performance indicators were revealed using the uniform Latin hypercube experiment design, correlation analysis, and the main effect analysis method. A multi-objective optimization mathematical model of the MPSA was developed by combining traditional surrogate and machine learning models. The Pareto solution set was obtained using the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), and three decision schemes with different attitudes were determined using the Hurwicz multi-criteria decision-making method. The results showed that a strong contradiction exists among the 95% of the maximum stable output electromagnetic force and its corresponding response time and the coefficient of the variation in electromagnetic force. The cone angle considerably influenced the performance indicators. Compared with the initial design, the coefficient of the variation in electromagnetic force was reduced by 54.08% for the positive decision, the corresponding response time was shortened by 15.65% for the critical decision, and the corresponding acceleration was enhanced by 10.32% for the passive decision. Thus, the overall performance of the long-stroke MPSA effectively improved.

The influence of key design parameters on the constant force characteristics of long-stroke moving-iron proportional solenoid actuators (MPSAs) has been explored by a method combining finite element modelling and correlation analysis. First, the finite element model (FEM) of long-stroke MPSA was developed and validated. Subsequently, the two evaluation indexes, the average-output solenoid force and maximum-output solenoid force variability, were introduced to disclose the influence law of pole shoe parameters on the constant force characteristics of a long-stroke MPSA. After that, correlation analysis was employed to quantify the influence of several parameters and parameter interaction factors on the constant force characteristics. The results indicate a strong contradiction between the average-output solenoid force and maximum-output solenoid force variability; however, increasing the inner diameter of the cone helps enhance the average-output solenoid force without causing maximum-output solenoid force variability to increase. Among all the parameters examined, the cone angle is the most significant parameter affecting the constant force characteristics. Additionally, interactions between the cone angle and the cone length, the cone angle and the inner cone diameter, the cone angle and the outer cone diameter, the cone length and the outer cone diameter, as well as the inner cone diameter and the outer cone diameter also have an important influence on the constant force characteristics. This study deepens our understanding of how the key parameters affect the constant force characteristics and assists designers in optimizing these parameters for developing new structures.
