Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical dynamics and relates to a method and system for calculating tooth surface load distribution of a helical gear pair considering through-cracks. Background Art
[0002] Helical gears are core components of mechanical transmission systems, and their reliability directly impacts equipment life and operational safety. However, gears are susceptible to fatigue cracking under complex alternating loads. Once cracks propagate unstably, they can lead to gear fracture or even catastrophic failure, resulting in significant economic losses and safety incidents.
[0003] During the meshing process of helical gears, the meshing stiffness exhibits time-varying characteristics due to changes in the number of tooth pairs involved in the meshing. When cracks appear at the tooth root or tooth surface, the local stiffness in the cracked area decreases, further reducing the overall meshing stiffness and exacerbating stiffness fluctuations, affecting the smoothness of the transmission. The reduction in meshing stiffness changes the load-sharing characteristics of the gear pair, redistributing the load within the meshing surface. The uneven stiffness caused by cracks may lead to load concentration, causing some tooth surfaces to be subjected to higher stress, accelerating local wear or crack propagation. Uneven load distribution on the meshing surface can significantly affect the initiation and propagation paths of cracks. High-stress areas are prone to becoming crack sources, and fluctuations in dynamic loads can promote crack extension deeper into the tooth root or tooth surface, forming a positive feedback effect. In-depth research on the interaction mechanism among these three factors is of great significance for establishing high-precision fault warning models and optimizing fatigue-resistant designs. It can also provide theoretical support for the intelligent operation and maintenance of major equipment and improve the reliability.
[0004] At present, the research on the stiffness and load distribution of helical gears has been very detailed. However, in practice, crack defects, time-varying meshing stiffness and meshing surface load distribution have a dynamic coupling effect and mutually restrict each other, which is a key factor causing early gear failure: crack propagation will significantly change the stiffness characteristics, and the mutual feedback between time-varying stiffness and load distribution will accelerate crack evolution, forming a vicious cycle.
[0005] The above defects are what those skilled in the art hope to overcome, and therefore a new method is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for calculating the load distribution on the tooth surface of a helical gear pair considering through-cracks, so as to solve the problem that the coupling effect between cracks, stiffness and load distribution is difficult to clarify.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of the present invention is: a method for calculating the load distribution on the tooth surface of a helical gear pair considering through cracks, comprising the following steps:
[0008] S1, discretize the meshing process into a series of different moments and determine the number of tooth pairs J involved in meshing at the corresponding moment t;
[0009] The teeth of the helical gear pair with through-crack fault are discretized into N equally divided and independent thin spur gears along the tooth width direction;
[0010] S2, based on cantilever beam theory and potential energy method, calculate the total stiffness of the i-th normal tooth in the helical gear pair
[0011] S3, assuming that there is a through crack at the root of the driving gear tooth and assuming that the cracked tooth can still be regarded as a cantilever beam model, with the boundary condition that no deformation occurs at the root of the tooth, calculate the total stiffness of the i-th cracked tooth in the helical gear pair
[0012] S4, based on steps S2, S3 and the offset superposition idea, calculate the comprehensive time-varying meshing stiffness K of the helical gear pair, and then calculate the inter-tooth load distribution coefficient LSF within the meshing tooth surface of the helical gear pair tj and tooth load distribution factor LSF ti ;
[0013] S5, establish a 6-DOF helical gear pair bending-axis-torsion coupling dynamic model and calculate the dynamic meshing force F(t) during gear transmission;

[0015] The working principle and beneficial effects of this basic scheme are as follows: this technical scheme calculates the inter-tooth distribution coefficient and tooth direction distribution coefficient of the helical gear pair with time-varying meshing stiffness, calculates the dynamic load of the helical gear pair by establishing a dynamic model of the helical gear pair under a through crack, multiplies the inter-tooth distribution coefficient and tooth direction distribution coefficient of the helical gear pair with the dynamic load, and finally obtains the dynamic load distribution on the tooth surface of the helical gear pair under a through crack.
[0016] Furthermore, the meshing process is discretized into a series of different moments, and the method for determining the number of tooth pairs involved in meshing at the corresponding moment is:
[0017] From t = Q / w p The helical gear pair transmission process is divided into different discrete moments to facilitate the subsequent calculation of the time-varying meshing stiffness K, where Q and w p are the rotation angle and angular velocity of the driving wheel respectively, and t represents the discrete moment;
[0018] Determine the number of tooth pairs J involved in meshing at this moment:
[0019]
[0020] Where, floor is the floor rounding function; Re = rem (Q, 2*π / N1) is the angle that the driving wheel rotates in one meshing cycle, and rem is the remainder function; Q m =(ε-floor(ε))*2*π / N1 is the angle that the gear teeth rotate in the multi-tooth meshing area, ε is the overlap of the helical gear, and N1 is the number of teeth of the driving gear.
[0021] Discrete helical gear pair meshing, determine the number of gear tooth pairs involved in meshing at the corresponding moment, which is beneficial for subsequent use.
[0022] Furthermore, the teeth of the helical gear pair with through-crack fault are discretized into N equally divided and independent thin spur gears along the tooth width direction, specifically:
[0023] Each slice can be regarded as a spur gear. The load position of each slice changes with the offset of the slice. The distance h from the load point of the i-th slice to the center line of the tooth surface is i and the distance d to the tooth root i ,for:
[0024] d i =R b [cosα pi +(α pi +α2)*sinα pi -cosα2]
[0025] h i =R b [(α pi +α2)*cosα pi -sinα pi ]

[0028] The meshing stiffness of a single helical gear tooth can be defined as the contact force required to produce unit deformation along the contact line. This parameter is solved using the slice method theory, the core of which is to discretize the helical gear into a series of micro-element slices along the tooth width direction.

[0063] Furthermore, in step S4, based on steps S2 and S3 and the offset superposition idea, the comprehensive time-varying meshing stiffness of the helical gear pair is calculated, and then the inter-tooth load distribution coefficient LSF in the meshing tooth surface of the helical gear pair is calculated. tj and tooth load distribution factor LSF ti , the specific steps are as follows:
[0064] S401, based on Hertz contact theory, calculates the gear Hertz contact stiffness k h :
[0065]
[0066] Where E and v are the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the gear material, respectively; L is the width of each sliced spur gear;
[0067] S402, based on the normal tooth plate stiffness and cracked tooth plate stiffness calculated in steps S2 and S3 and the Hertz contact stiffness in S401, the stiffness of the i-th spur gear pair slice of the cracked tooth pair and the non-cracked tooth pair in the helical gear pair Respectively expressed as:

[0079] K=K c_single +K n1_single +…+K nj_single ,
[0080] or,
[0081]
[0082] Where N represents the number of slices; K nj_single It is the meshing stiffness of the jth normal tooth pair among the gear teeth participating in the meshing at the same time.
[0083] The comprehensive time-varying meshing stiffness K of the helical gear pair with a through-crack is calculated using the relevant parameters obtained above. The operation is simple and easy to use.
[0084] Furthermore, the 6-DOF helical gear pair bending-axis-torsion coupling dynamic model is established as follows:

[0088] The normal dynamic meshing force F(t) of the helical gear pair can be decomposed into the tangential force F along the meshing line of the gear end face. y and the axial force F along the gear axis z , so the dynamic load F(t) of the helical gear pair during the meshing transmission process is:
[0089]
[0090] F n =(F y 2 +F z 2 ) 1 / 2
[0091] The helical gear pair is regarded as a spring with only elasticity but no inertia and a mass block with only inertia but no elasticity. Considering the time-varying nature of the gear meshing stiffness under the influence of a through-crack, a 6-DOF bending-axis-torsion coupled dynamic model is established to obtain the dynamic meshing force during the transmission process.
[0092] Furthermore, based on the inter-tooth distribution coefficient LSF in step S4 tj , tooth distribution coefficient LSF ti and dynamic load F(t), and obtain the tooth surface load distribution F of the helical gear pair under the through-crack tji for:
