Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an involute function solving slide rule and its working method, belonging to the field of engineering applications. Background Art
[0002] Involutes are widely used in the mechanical industry, especially in the tooth profiles of gears. From the involute function,
[0003] θ k = tan α k - α k
[0004] In the formula: α k -- involute pressure angle, θ k -- involute development angle
[0005] Given the involute pressure angle α k the involute development angle θ k can be obtained. However, for the inverse involute function, that is,
[0006] α k = f ( θ k )
[0007] If the involute development angle θ k is known, it is very difficult to find the pressure angle α k At present, the commonly used method is to use the exploration method to set a macro in Excel to solve the inverse involute function, and this process is rather cumbersome. There is also a method of using programming software to write a program to output the involute pressure angle according to the input involute development angle value, and this method requires a certain programming foundation. Currently, there is a lack of an invention design that can simply obtain the pressure angle of the inverse involute function.
[0008] From the formation principle of the involute, its working mode is that the generating line makes pure rolling on the base circle, and the normal line at any point on the involute must be tangent to the base circle. The working mode of the gear rack is also pure rolling. Therefore, an involute function solving slide rule designed by the present invention can read the involute pressure angle and development angle values through the indication value of the pointer by rotating the gear. Compared with consulting the involute function table, the process is simplified, and the pressure angle corresponding to the involute development angle can be quickly read. It provides a simple implementation method for obtaining the pressure angle of the inverse involute function. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Preferably, a slide rail is fixed on the front surface of the support plate, a slide rail groove is provided on the back surface of the rack, and the slide rail groove cooperates with the slide rail on the front surface of the support plate to achieve reciprocating translation.
[0012] Preferably, both the axle and the pin shaft are arranged perpendicular to the support plate.
[0013] Preferably, the pressure angle scale is fixed in the upper left corner side area of the axle.

[0028] As shown Figures 1 to 4 in the figure, this embodiment provides an involute function solving slide rule, which includes a support plate 1. A rack 2 for reciprocating translational motion is arranged on the front surface of the support plate. A rotating gear 3 is meshed with the tooth side of the rack. A wheel shaft 4 at the center of the gear is fixed on the front surface of the support plate. A pressure angle scale 5 is fixed on the side of the wheel shaft. A rotating pointer 6 is arranged on the wheel shaft. A sliding sleeve 7 is sleeved on the area outside the scale indicated by the pointer.

Scale lines with a range of 0-90° are arranged on the pressure angle scale, representing the involute pressure angle value. The pin shaft is located at the indexing line position of the rack. The gear and the rack cooperate to simulate the pure rolling motion of the involute base circle and the generating line.
[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, a slide rail 9 is fixed on the front surface of the support plate. A slide rail groove is arranged on the back surface of the rack. The slide rail groove cooperates with the slide rail on the front surface of the support plate. The slide rail groove is a dovetail groove. The shape of the slide rail is adapted to the shape of the dovetail groove and is inserted into the slide rail groove to realize the reciprocating translation of the support plate along the slide rail.
[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, both the wheel shaft and the pin shaft are arranged perpendicular to the support plate.
[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, the pressure angle scale is fixed in the upper left corner side area of the wheel shaft.
[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, the tail end of the pointer is sleeved on the wheel shaft for rotation.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, a first notch 10 and a second notch 11 for reading are arranged in the area where the pointer indicates the scale.
