摘要

Pneumatic actuators serve as fundamental energy conversion components that transform compressed air into mechanical motion. To improve energy efficiency, we developed a stroke-triggered dual-mode pneumatic actuator system capable of dynamically switching between energy-saving (differential) mode and conventional exhaust mode, thereby optimizing the trade-off between energy efficiency and cycle time. The mathematical model was established using dynamic equations, gas state equations, and continuity equations, and a simulation model was built in AMEsim for performance analysis. Through experimental verification, both the model's accuracy and the system's energy-saving characteristics were confirmed. The results show that under conditions of 100 mm bore, 100 mm differential mode, 1 kg load, and 0.6 MPa supply pressure, the maximum energy-saving rate reaches 43.1%. Through a combination of full-factorial and orthogonal experimental designs and by adopting a game theory-based AHP-Entropy comprehensive weighting model, the key parameters were optimized. The optimal configuration (0.7 MPa supply pressure, 80% throttle opening, 80 kg load, 100 mm differential stroke) achieves 4.49 s running time with a 45.91% energy-saving rate.
