Abstract: In order to improve the control effect and operation effect of intelligent digital pump, this paper analyses the control characteristics of intelligent digital pump with discrete variable method, and obtains the transfer function of the control system of digital pump through the establishment and analysis of mathematical model. The variable mechanism of digital pump can be simplified as a mechanical-hydraulic servo system in which two-sided slide valves control differential cylinders. The digital pump system based on discrete variable technology is a parallel digital discrete system, which is composed of digital pump and control valve group. The control valve logic topology relation is adopted to realise the combined control of displacement through coded signals. Moreover, the proposed control configuration can significantly improve the displacement control accuracy under the same number of control units, and then reduce the variable impact amplitude. Based on the experimental bench and loader prototype, the digital pump steering system and control strategy are tested and analysed, which verifies the feasibility of this method proposed by this paper.
