Review of studies on the design optimization of hydraulic cartridge valves

Abstract

Hydraulic cartridge valves are extensively used across numerous industries, attributed to their exceptional integration and potent flow capacity. To effectively address the varied load conditions, environmental influences, and durability demands in different contexts, it is crucial for designers to optimize these valves. Currently, a significant number of scholars have undertaken invaluable research on the design optimization of cartridge valves. The objective of this paper is to propose research concepts for the design optimization of hydraulic cartridge valves by analyzing the current literature and thereby boost the performance of hydraulic cartridge valve systems. This paper adopts a mixed review method, elaborating on the literature search methodology for reviews concerning cartridge valve design optimization. The obtained results are subjected to quantitative analysis. Following this, a thorough review of the identified literature is provided, focusing on the methodology and performance concerns of hydraulic cartridge valve design optimization. Finally, the prerequisites and challenges associated with the cartridge valve design optimization approach are discussed in detail, considering aspects such as compact lightweight design, reliability enhancement, and intelligent design optimization.
