Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gear transmission technology, and in particular to a pair of internally meshing cylindrical gears with constant meshing characteristics. More specifically, it relates to a pair of internally meshing cylindrical gears consisting of a pair of external cylindrical gears and a pair of internal cylindrical gears, with identical normal tooth profiles, a constant and infinitumiously curvature radius at the meshing point, a constant sliding rate, and a constant meshing stiffness. Background Technology

[0002] Internal gear pairs are one of the main forms of mechanical transmission. Their function is to maintain the same direction of mechanical rotation and transmit power, as well as to reduce speed and increase torque or increase speed and reduce torque. They are widely used in high-end equipment, aerospace, precision instruments, and other fields. Existing internal gear pairs are mostly involute gear pairs, which suffer from problems such as high tooth surface sliding rate and time-varying meshing stiffness. This leads to reduced transmission efficiency, shorter service life, and decreased dynamic meshing performance. With the development of technology and the expansion of applications, traditional internal gear pairs are struggling to meet the high-performance requirements of defense technology, industrial manufacturing, and daily life.

[0003] The paper "Basic Theoretical Research on Internal Meshing Curve Pair Gear Transmission" further applies the basic theory of conjugate curve meshing to paired internal meshing gears, establishing the fundamental principle of convex-concave internal meshing curve paired gears. The convex and concave internal meshing gear pairs constructed in this paper require different cutting tools, increasing the manufacturing cost of the gear pairs. The concave-convex tooth profile limits the radius of curvature at the meshing point, thus restricting further improvement in the load-bearing capacity of the gear pairs. Selecting the contact point at the node causes tooth surface interference, making it difficult to achieve zero slip rate. Therefore, there is an urgent need for innovative tooth profile design based on the existing conjugate curve paired gear design theory, thereby improving the meshing performance of paired internal meshing cylindrical gear pairs and reducing the production cost of the gear pairs. Summary of the Invention

[0050] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0056] This invention provides a schematic diagram of the formation of the normal tooth profile of a gear pair using a combination curve of an odd-power function curve and its tangent at the inflection point as the tooth profile curve. Figure 2 As shown, the inflection point P is the meshing point, Ⅰ is the pitch circle of the external cylindrical gear, and Ⅱ is the pitch circle of the internal cylindrical gear. In the figure, the tooth roots of both the external cylindrical gear 1 and the internal cylindrical gear 2 are tangent segments, while the tooth tips of both the external cylindrical gear 1 and the internal cylindrical gear 2 are cubic power function curve segments. When the continuous combined curve Γ... L Rotating the cylindrical gear I about the origin of the rectangular coordinate system by an angle α1 yields the normal tooth profile curve Γ. s1 The value of the rotation angle α1 needs to be determined based on the specific parameters of the gear pair, and generally the range is: 0° < α1 < 180°. The specific formation process and tooth profile curve equation of the internal meshing cylindrical gear pair are as follows:

[0057] The curve Γ is a combination of the curve of an odd power function and the tangent at its inflection point. L1 Rotating the external cylindrical gear 1 about the origin of the rectangular coordinate system σ1 by an angle α1 = 120°, we obtain the normal tooth profile curve Γ. s1 The equation of the curve is:

In the diagram, A represents the conjugate curve, B represents the tooth profile sweep direction, and C represents the sweeping tooth surface of the normal tooth profile curve family. The specific construction process and tooth surface equation of the tooth surface of the internal meshing cylindrical gear pair are as follows:

[0064] The normal tooth profile curve Γ of the external cylindrical gear 1 s1 The tooth surface Σ1 of the external cylindrical gear 1 is obtained by sweeping along a given helix. The equation of Σ1 is:

[0065]

[0066] Where, x Σ1 y Σ1 and z Σ1 φ1 represents the coordinates of the tooth surface of the external cylindrical gear 1; φ1 represents the angle of the given contact line.

[0067] Similarly, the normal tooth profile curve Γ of the internal cylindrical gear 2 is described above. s2 The tooth surface Σ2 of the internal cylindrical gear 2 is obtained by sweeping along a given helix, and the tooth surface equation is:

[0068]

[0069] Where, x Σ2 yΣ2 and zΣ2 are the coordinate values ​​of the tooth surface of the cylindrical gear 2 in the structure.

[0070] Figure 4 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of an internal meshing cylindrical gear pair using an odd power function curve and a combination curve of the tangent at the inflection point as the tooth profile curve. The tooth tip circle and tooth root circle are generated by extrusion, and the tooth surfaces of the external cylindrical gear 1 and the internal cylindrical gear 2 are trimmed, stitched, and filled with fillets to obtain a solid model of an internal meshing cylindrical gear pair with constant meshing characteristics.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, the normal tooth profile curves of the external cylindrical gear 1 and the internal cylindrical gear 2 can also be a combination curve ΓL2 of a sine function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, a combination curve ΓL3 of an epicycloid function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, a combination curve ΓL4 of an odd power function, a combination curve ΓL5 of a sine function, or a combination curve ΓL6 of an epicycloid function. The curve formulas are as follows:

[0072] When the continuous combination curve ΓL is a combination curve ΓL2 of the sine function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, the continuous combination curve ΓL2 is formed by the tangent at the inflection point of the sine function curve Γ L21 and the sine function curve Γ L22Composition; Establish a rectangular coordinate system at the tangent points of the continuous composite curve, and form the composite curve Γ of the sine function curve and its tangents at the inflection points. L2 The equation is:

[0073]

[0074] Where, parameter t is the independent variable of the equation; t1 and t2 are the ranges of the continuous curve; a and b are the coefficients of the equation; x 20 and y 20 , respectively, are the x and y coordinates of the composite curve in the rectangular coordinate system; k is the slope of the tangent line at the inflection point of the sine function curve.

[0075] When the continuous combination curve Γ L Γ is a combination curve of the epicycloid function curve and its tangent at the inflection point. L3 At that time, the continuous combination curve Γ L3 The tangent Γ at the inflection point of the epicycloid function curve L31 and the epicycloid function curve Γ L32 Composition; Establish a rectangular coordinate system at the tangent points of the continuous composite curves, and form the composite curve Γ of the epicycloid function curve and its tangents at the inflection points. L3 The equation is:

[0076]

[0077] Where, parameter t is the independent variable of the equation; t1 and t2 are the ranges of the continuous curve; R and r are the radii of the moving and fixed circles of the cycloid, respectively; e is the eccentricity; x 30 and y 30 , respectively, are the x and y coordinates of the composite curve in the rectangular coordinate system; k is the slope of the tangent line at the inflection point of the epicycloid function curve.

[0078] When the continuous combination curve Γ L The combination curve Γ of odd-power functions L4 At that time, the continuous combination curve Γ L4 From the curve Γ of the first odd power function L41 Curve of the second odd power function Γ L42 Composition; Establish a rectangular coordinate system at the inflection points of continuous combination curves, and the combination curve Γ of odd-power functions. L4 The equation is:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula: parameter t is the independent variable of the equation; t1 and t2 are the ranges of the continuous curve; a and b are the coefficients of the equation; n1 and n2 are the degrees of the independent variable and are positive integers; x 40 and y 40These are the x and y coordinates of the composite curve in a rectangular coordinate system.

[0081] When the continuous combination curve Γ L The combination curve Γ of the sine function L5 At that time, the continuous combination curve Γ L5 From the first sine function curve Γ L51 The second sine function curve Γ L52 Composition; Establish a rectangular coordinate system at the inflection points of the continuous composite curve, and the composite curve Γ of the sine function. L5 The equation is:

[0082]

[0083] Where, parameter t is the independent variable of the equation; t1 and t2 are the ranges of the continuous curve; a1, b1, a2, and b2 are the coefficients of the equation; x 50 and y 50 These are the x and y coordinates of the composite curve in a rectangular coordinate system.

[0084] When the continuous combination curve Γ L The combined curve Γ of the epicycloid function L6 At that time, the continuous combination curve Γ L6 From the first epicycloid function curve Γ L61 Second epicycloid function curve Γ L62 Composition; Establish a rectangular coordinate system at the inflection points of the continuous composite curve, and the composite curve Γ of the epicycloid function. L6 The equation is:

[0085]

[0086] Where, parameter t is the independent variable of the equation; t1 and t2 are the ranges of the continuous curve; R1 and r1 are the radii of the moving and fixed circles of the first epicycloid, respectively, and R2 and r2 are the radii of the moving and fixed circles of the second epicycloid, respectively; e is the eccentricity; x 60 and y 60 These are the x and y coordinates of the composite curve in a rectangular coordinate system.

[0087] In this invention, the inflection point or tangent point of the continuous composite curve is:

[0088] ① When the continuous combination curve is a combination curve of odd power functions, a combination curve of sine functions, or a combination curve of epicycloid functions, the connection point of the continuous combination curve is the inflection point, that is, the boundary between concavity and convexity of the curve. The second derivative of the curve is zero at this point, and the signs of the second derivatives on both sides of this point are opposite.

[0089] ② When the combined curve is a combination of an odd power function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, a sine function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, or an epicycloid and its tangent at the inflection point, the connection point of the combined curve is the inflection point of the odd power function curve, sine function curve, or epicycloid (meaning the same as ①), and is also the tangent point of the tangent of the odd power function curve, sine function curve, or epicycloid at that point.

[0090] At the inflection points or tangent points of a continuous composite curve, the curvature of the curve is zero, meaning the radius of curvature tends to infinity. Specifically, when the continuous composite curve is a combination of odd-power functions, sine functions, or epicycloid functions, the radii of curvature on both sides of the inflection point tend to infinity. When the continuous composite curve is a combination of an odd-power function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, a sine function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, or an epicycloid function curve and its tangent at the inflection point, the radius of curvature on the side of the odd-power function curve, sine function curve, or epicycloid function curve at the inflection point tends to infinity, and the radius of curvature on the side of the tangent is infinite. The radius of curvature of the composite curve is calculated according to the parameters given in the embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 The radius of curvature of the straight line segment in the composite curve is infinite; the radius of curvature at the inflection point tends to be infinite; the radius of curvature of the cubic power function curve segment gradually decreases and then increases, but is still much smaller than the radius of curvature at the inflection point; this means that the radius of curvature at the contact point of the meshing cylindrical gear pair in the structure tends to be infinite, which improves the load-bearing capacity of the meshing cylindrical gear pair in the structure.

[0091] In this invention, the inflection point or tangent point of the continuous combination curve is located at a designated point on the line of action of the meshing force of the gear pair. The designated point is specifically defined as: the line of action of the meshing force of the meshing cylindrical gear pair is a straight line passing through the node and forming a certain angle (pressure angle) with the horizontal axis, and a given point on or near the node on the straight line. Figure 6 This diagram illustrates a designated point on the line of action of the meshing force of a gear pair. In the diagram: P is the designated point on the line of action of the meshing force of the gear pair; P1 and P2 are the extreme points within the position range of the designated point; the straight lines N1N2 represent the line of action of the meshing force of the gear pair; α k The pressure angle is O1-x1y1 and O2-x2y2, which are the local rectangular coordinate systems of the external cylindrical gear 1 and the internal cylindrical gear 2, respectively; r1 and r2, r f1 and r f2 These are the pitch circle radius and root circle radius of the external cylindrical gear 1 and the internal cylindrical gear 2, respectively; w1 and w2 are the angular velocities of the external cylindrical gear 1 and the internal cylindrical gear 2, respectively. The specified point P is usually located at the node, but can also be a given point near both sides of the node. The variation area of ​​the specified point does not exceed half of the tooth height.

[0092] According to the gear meshing principle, when a pair of meshing cylindrical gears meshes at the pitch point, there is no relative sliding between the tooth surfaces. Figure 7 This invention provides a schematic diagram of the slip ratio at the meshing point of an internal meshing cylindrical gear pair, using a combination curve of an odd-power function curve and its tangent at the inflection point as a tooth profile curve. Because the constant meshing characteristics in this embodiment ensure that the internal meshing cylindrical gear pair meshes at the node at any given time, this pair can achieve zero-slip meshing. When the inflection point or tangent point of the combined curve does not coincide with the node, the slip ratio of the internal meshing cylindrical gear pair remains constant but is not zero. The closer the inflection point or tangent point of the continuous curve is to the node, the smaller the slip ratio of the internal meshing cylindrical gear pair, and vice versa. When the inflection point or tangent point coincides with the node, the internal meshing cylindrical gear pair can achieve zero-slip meshing transmission, reducing wear between tooth surfaces and improving the transmission efficiency of the internal meshing cylindrical gear pair.

[0093] Furthermore, when the contact ratio of the meshing cylindrical gear pairs with the same continuous combined curve tooth profile is designed to be an integer, the meshing stiffness of the meshing cylindrical gear pairs is constant. At this point, the magnitude of the meshing force at any meshing position is determined. Therefore, when the contact ratio is designed to be an integer, the meshing state of the meshing cylindrical gear pairs with the same continuous combined curve tooth profile is constant at any time, effectively ensuring the stability of the dynamic meshing performance of the meshing cylindrical gear pairs and effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the meshing cylindrical gear pairs.
