[0052] The present invention discloses a method, a system, a storage medium, and an electronic device for controlling the gear accuracy. In order to actively control the qualified rate of gears under NVH indicators, this solution first measures the vibration and noise value of the gearbox and performs Fourier transform to obtain the first amplitude spectrum diagram corresponding to the gearbox; and finds the amplitude and the abnormal order to which it belongs that exceed the gearbox detection standard curve from the first amplitude spectrum diagram.

[0060] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0061] Referring to Figure 1 , an implementation flowchart of a method for controlling gear accuracy according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed, including the following steps:

[0062] Step 101, measure the vibration and noise value of the gearbox and perform Fourier transform to obtain the first spectrogram corresponding to the gearbox.

[0063] Generally speaking, a gearbox is loaded with several rotating components, such as bearings, gears, etc. Vibration will be generated when rotating components mesh, and other components in the gearbox transmit the vibration, thus generating vibration noise inside the gearbox. The vibration noise values generated by different rotating components are different. For example, three gears at different positions of the same bearing generate different vibration noise values. For another example, different positions of the same gear also generate different vibration noise values. Since the vibration noise value generated inside the gearbox is a continuous time-domain signal, for the convenience of analysis, the vibration noise value of the gearbox can be measured first by using the end-of-line (EOL) test system on the production line, and then Fourier transform is performed on it. Among them, the EOL system is a commonly used noise measurement system for offline detection such as fault diagnosis and function verification of new energy vehicles. The Fourier algorithm is used to transform the time-domain signal curve generated by the gearbox gears to obtain the first frequency spectrum diagram of the frequency-domain signal. According to the transformation principle of the Fourier algorithm, any continuous time series or signal can be expressed as an infinite superposition of sine wave signals with different frequencies. Therefore, the least squares method can be used to decompose the sine waves of each order in turn and calculate the spectrum. The root mean square of the amplitudes of each order is calculated respectively, so as to obtain the first spectrum image. In the first frequency spectrum diagram, the vertical axis represents the amplitude and the horizontal axis represents the order.

[0064] It should be noted that the time-domain signal curves of the gears in the gearbox can be jointly fitted into the same frequency spectrum image. Of course, the time-domain signal curves of the gears in the gearbox can also be fitted into their respective frequency spectrum images, and can be selected according to the actual situation in actual applications.

[0065] Step 102, find the amplitude exceeding the gearbox detection standard curve and the corresponding abnormal order from the first frequency spectrum diagram.

[0066] In this embodiment, the gearbox detection standard curve is obtained by fitting the tooth surface curves of several qualified gears and is used as the standard for detecting abnormal gear noise in the gearbox. The amplitude and order of the first frequency spectrum diagram correspond to each other. Therefore, if the amplitude exceeds the gearbox detection standard curve, it means that the corresponding order is an abnormal order. See Figure 2 , which is a comparison schematic diagram of the gearbox detection standard curve and the first frequency spectrum diagram. Among them, the gearbox detection standard curve is a relatively smooth curve, and the measured amplitude value in the first frequency spectrum diagram will exceed the gearbox detection standard curve. Then, based on the amplitude value exceeding the gearbox detection standard curve, the corresponding abnormal order can be determined.

[0067] As is well known, components in a rotating state will generate vibration noise with a certain amplitude, which varies with the rotational speed. The vibration noise response of a structure usually appears at multiples or fractions of the rotational speed, that is, at the order. In most cases, the response generated by a gearbox is related to a specific order (including the response generated by the resonance frequency), and corresponding responses will appear at specific orders. Each rotating component (such as gears, shafts, pistons, pumps, etc.) contributes to the total level of vibration noise of the gearbox. Orders are used to analyze the respective contributions of each rotating component to the total level. In this embodiment, the time-series signal curves of the gears in the gearbox are converted into representations using amplitude orders, and the meshing order of the gearbox corresponds to the number of teeth meshing between the gears. Therefore, if the number of teeth of the gears is different, the orders they are in are different, and the amplitudes of the vibration noise they generate are also different. For example, the orders and amplitudes corresponding to 3 gears at different positions of the same bearing are all different. Therefore, based on the order and amplitude, the gear that generates vibration noise can be accurately determined from the 3 gears, and then vibration reduction and noise reduction analysis can be carried out for the gear that generates vibration noise.

[0068] Furthermore, for the same gear, the value of the vibration noise generated during meshing is at an integer order after Fourier transform. However, due to tooth surface defects of the gear, such as surface waviness, pitch error, tooth surface damage, etc., the vibration noise value may be at a non-integer order after Fourier transform. Since the first spectrum diagram contains both integer orders and non-integer orders, after finding the abnormal order, it will be determined whether the abnormal order exceeding the gearbox detection standard curve belongs to an integer order or a non-integer order. If it is a non-integer order, it indicates that the gear has tooth surface defects.

[0069] Step 103: Based on the abnormal order, determine the gear that causes the abnormal order and its tooth surface machining error.

[0070] In this embodiment, if the abnormal order is a non-integer order, the gear that causes the non-integer order and its tooth surface machining error are determined from the mapping relationship between the order and the machining error.

[0071] Specifically, the tooth surface machining error includes one or more of surface waviness, pitch error, and tooth surface damage. Each tooth surface machining error will comprehensively affect the vibration noise of the gear, and the influence of each tooth surface machining error on the noise of the gear can be reflected in the order. Therefore, in this embodiment, the mapping relationship between the gear order and the machining error can be statistically analyzed in advance. Thus, when the detected gear has an abnormal order, one or more gears that cause the non-integer order and their tooth surface machining errors can be analyzed from it.

[0072] Step 104: Based on the tooth surface machining error, determine the target machining parameter that causes the tooth surface machining error.

[0073] In this embodiment, the factors affecting the non-integer order tooth surface machining error of the gear include one or more of surface waviness, pitch error, and tooth surface damage. When specific tooth surface machining errors are obtained, it is necessary to further analyze the influencing factors causing the tooth surface machining errors. During the specific analysis, a split-plot experiment is carried out based on the tooth surface machining error to determine the influencing factors causing the tooth surface machining error. In this embodiment, the tooth surface machining error generally occurs under the action of machining parameters alone or in combination. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a split-plot experiment on it to determine several machining parameters causing the tooth surface machining error, and then determine a preset number of the target machining parameters with the top influence rankings from the several machining parameters.

[0074] Among them, when carrying out a split-plot experiment based on the tooth surface machining error, several gears are simulated as the first-level experimental units and divided into several groups, and several machining parameters of the machine tool are used as the second-level experimental units. Several groups of gears under the first-level experimental units are respectively combined with one or more second-level experimental units for machining, so as to machine gears with different tooth surface errors for standardized effect analysis, and determine a preset number of target machining parameters with the top influence rankings of the tooth surface machining error from them.

[0075] For the convenience of illustrating and explaining the present invention, the surface waviness in the tooth surface machining error is taken as an example for illustration below.

[0076] If it is determined that the tooth surface machining error of the gear is surface waviness, then a split-plot experiment is carried out for the surface waviness and a tabular conversion effect analysis is carried out. As Figure 3 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the split-plot experiment results of the surface waviness. Since there are periodic regular corrugations on the tooth surface and it is generally caused by vibration, it can be analyzed from Figure 3 that the surface waviness of the gear is caused by resonance with the process system under the combined action of the changes in the grinding parameters and the grinding wheel diameter. Among them, the second feed rate, the interaction between the grinding wheel diameter and the second feed rate, and the interaction among the second feed rate, the grinding speed, and the grinding wheel diameter all have a significant influence on the waviness. It can be directly seen from Figure 3 that the top three machining parameters affecting the surface waviness are: the second feed rate, the grinding speed, and the grinding wheel diameter. Therefore, the above three machining parameters are used as the target machining parameters. That is to say, since the above three machining parameters have the greatest influence on the surface waviness of the gear, in order to improve the gear accuracy, adjustments can be made starting from the above three machining parameters, so as to actively improve the gear accuracy.

[0077] Step 105, numerically optimize the target machining parameters and use the gear detection standard curve set for the gear for constraint to obtain the machining parameter standard of the gear, so as to limit the machine tool and its related machining parts to machine the gear, and thus obtain a gear that meets the gear accuracy requirements.

[0078] In the process of numerically optimizing the target machining parameters, the parameter values of the target machining parameters are adjusted, and a gear sample is machined according to the adjusted parameter values. In order to verify the accuracy of the gear sample, two methods are used for verification in this embodiment. Of course, the two verification methods in this embodiment are only used as examples and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. In practical applications, other verification methods other than the two verification methods in this embodiment can be used for verification.

[0079] The first verification method is to directly verify the waviness of the gear sample.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the waviness of the gear sample is detected to obtain a waviness detection result. The waviness detection result is constrained by the waviness standard curve, and the parameter values of the target machining parameters are inversely adjusted according to the first constraint result until the waviness detection result is within the waviness standard curve, so as to obtain the machining parameter standard.

[0081] During the waviness detection process, the waviness of the gear sample is detected to obtain waviness-related parameters. The waviness-related parameters include, but are not limited to: profile peak valley value, profile maximum height, profile unit average line height, profile total height. The waviness detection result is calculated using the waviness-related parameters; the waviness detection result includes: one or more of profile arithmetic mean deviation, profile root mean square deviation, profile skewness, and profile kurtosis.

[0082] Among them, the gear detection standard curve is the waviness standard curve. Specifically, since the waviness detection result has the aforementioned multiple results, different detection results require different standard curves. Therefore, after the detection result is determined, the corresponding standard curve can be obtained according to the detection result, and then the corresponding constraint can be carried out.

[0083] Further, the parameter values of the target machining parameters are inversely adjusted according to the first constraint result until the waviness detection result is within the waviness standard curve, so as to obtain the machining parameter standard. Taking the profile kurtosis curve as an example, the profile kurtosis is constrained by the standard kurtosis curve. The point values within the standard kurtosis curve are considered qualified, and the point values outside the standard kurtosis curve are considered unqualified. For the unqualified kurtosis point values, the point values in the corresponding standard kurtosis curve are used to constrain them, and the parameter values of the second feed rate, grinding speed, and grinding wheel diameter are adjusted with reference to the point values in the corresponding standard kurtosis curve until the standard kurtosis curve is satisfied.

[0084] The second verification method is to load the gear sample into the gearbox for EOL verification.

[0085] In this embodiment, EOL is still used to verify the gear sample. Specifically, the gear sample is installed in the transmission, and the vibration and noise value of the transmission is measured by EOL and Fourier transformed to obtain the second spectrogram of the gear sample. Among them, the amplitude and order of the gear sample are included in the second spectrogram. The second spectrogram in this embodiment can be that the time-domain signal curves of each gear in the transmission can be jointly fitted into the same spectral image. Of course, it can also be a spectral image fitted by the time-domain signal curve of the gear sample alone. At this time, in order to optimize the surface accuracy of the gear, the gear detection standard curve adopted in this embodiment is a self-developed amplitude limit curve, with the ordinate representing the amplitude limit and the abscissa representing the order.

[0086] The amplitude of the gear sample is constrained by using the amplitude limit curve, and the parameter value of the target processing parameter is adjusted inversely according to the second constraint result until the amplitude of the gear sample is within the gear detection standard curve, and the processing parameter standard is obtained. During the constraint process, the point values within the amplitude limit curve are considered qualified, and the point values outside the amplitude limit curve are considered unqualified. If there are point values outside the amplitude limit curve, the corresponding abnormal order is found accordingly, and the parameter values of the second feed rate, grinding speed, and grinding wheel diameter are adjusted accordingly until the amplitude limit curve is satisfied. This solution directly modifies and constrains the gear itself by using the gear detection standard curve set for the gear, and can manufacture gears that meet the accuracy requirements. In practical applications, the self-developed amplitude limit curve can be loaded into the optimizer, and the optimizer is used to inversely adjust the parameter value of the target processing parameter. For example, the parameter values of the target processing parameter determined by the optimizer are as follows: the grinding wheel diameter is ≥225, the grinding speed = 63, the first feed rate = 450 - 550, and the second feed rate = 175 - 185. When the grinding wheel diameter is <225, the grinding speed = 55, the first feed rate = 450 - 550, and the second feed rate = 195 - 240.

[0087] In this solution, starting from the noise value caused by the gear, the tooth surface processing error that causes the gear noise and the machine tool processing parameters that cause the error are found, and the manufacturing standard of the gear for the target processing parameter is obtained. The difference between this solution and the prior art is that the focus of this solution is not to find the defects of the gear, but how to actively improve the gear precision control. Therefore, by establishing the relationship between EOL noise detection, gear surface accuracy detection, and machine tool processing parameter control, starting from the processing parameters of the gear for adjustment, and improving the precision control by modifying the machine tool processing parameters, the qualified rate of the gear under the NVH index can be actively improved.

[0110] Through one or more embodiments of the present invention, the present invention has the following beneficial effects or advantages:

[0111] The present invention discloses a method, a system, a storage medium, and an electronic device for controlling the gear accuracy. In order to actively control the qualified rate of gears under NVH indicators, this solution first measures the vibration and noise value of the gearbox and performs Fourier transform to obtain the first amplitude spectrum diagram corresponding to the gearbox; and searches for the amplitude exceeding the gearbox detection standard curve and the abnormal order to which it belongs from the first amplitude spectrum diagram. Since the orders of different gears are different, the gear causing the abnormal order and its tooth surface machining error can be determined based on the abnormal order. Further, the target machining parameters causing the tooth surface machining error are found accordingly. By numerically optimizing the target machining parameters and using the gear detection standard curve set for the gear itself for constraint, the machining parameter standard of the gear can be obtained to be used to limit the machine tool and its related machining parts to machine the gear, so as to obtain a gear meeting the gear accuracy requirements. It can be seen that this solution starts from the noise value caused by the gear, finds out the tooth surface machining error causing the gear noise and the machine tool machining parameters causing the error, and obtains the manufacturing standard of the gear for the target machining parameters accordingly. By establishing a relationship among the EOL noise detection, the surface accuracy detection of the gear, and the control of the machining parameters of the machine tool, and improving the accuracy control by modifying the machining parameters of the machine tool, the qualified rate of the detected gears under NVH indicators is actively controlled. In addition, this solution directly modifies and constrains the gear itself by using the gear detection standard curve set for the gear, and can manufacture gears meeting the accuracy requirements.
