Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the gear process field, in particular to a device for strengthening the surface of a gear by means of direct-current electric field assisted ultrasonic shot peening. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gears are important basic parts in the fields of automobiles, ships, wind power, aviation, aerospace, etc. Their working environment is complex, and they are required to have long service life and high reliability, which puts higher requirements on their material properties, surface treatment process, contact fatigue performance, bending fatigue performance and bonding performance. Aviation gears are key components of aeroengines, and their service life directly determines the service performance of the entire machine. With the rapid development of China's aerospace industry, the working environment of aviation gears is becoming increasingly harsh, and higher requirements are put forward for the load capacity and service life of gears. Contact fatigue failure is one of the main failure types of gears in service, which has multiple failure modes and complex failure mechanisms, and has many influencing factors, which seriously restricts the improvement of the fatigue performance and reliability of China's aviation gears.

[0003] In order to improve the fatigue and wear performance of the surface of the gear, a large number of researchers use shot peening to strengthen the surface of the gear. Zhang Yuanyuan of China Aeronautical Mianyang Research Institute of Materials and Technology invented a tooth surface shot peening strengthening method for spiral bevel gears [CN201911206804.6], and the tooth surface roughness meets the requirements after two shot peening treatments. The invention can effectively improve the tooth surface roughness, but the efficiency of two shot peening is low, and the residual stress is difficult to improve in the second shot peening process. Shao Wen of Central South University invented an ultrasonic shot peening strengthening device for gear parts [CN202210106251.2], which can realize ultrasonic shot peening strengthening treatment of the parts to be treated in cooperation with traditional shot peening equipment, and shot peening does not need to apply ultrasonic vibration. The invention combines ultrasonic vibration and shot peening for strengthening, but the ultrasonic vibration and shot peening have both enhancing and weakening effects in the coupling process, and the shot peening effect of the tooth surface is not obviously improved. Chen Haifeng of Hunan University of Science and Technology invented a pin-type gear ultrasonic shot peening strengthening device [CN202110473481.8], which uses a trapezoidal vibration head and a spring support rod to convert the axial movement into reciprocating movement in the direction of the processed gear tooth surface. When the invention uses the impact pin to impact the workpiece surface during processing, the processing efficiency is low and it is difficult to adapt to mass production, and the surface of complex parts may affect the transverse movement of the impact pin, and sometimes the uneven surface cannot be processed.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new gear surface shot peening strengthening device. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to effectively improve the fatigue and wear performance of the surface of the gear, the application provides a device for strengthening the surface of a gear by means of direct-current electric field assisted ultrasonic shot peening.

[0006] In a first aspect, the application provides a device for direct current field assisted ultrasonic shot peening of gear surface, which adopts the following technical scheme:

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, the motor drives the target gear and the shot peening gear to rotate simultaneously, and the ultrasonic transducer drives the horn and the shot peening gear to generate ultrasonic vibration, so as to drive the shot particles to impact the surface of the target gear at a high frequency, cause dislocation and grain refinement of the surface tissue of the target gear, form a high residual compressive stress, and ensure a small surface roughness. In addition, the tooth surface structure of the shot peening gear can be adjusted, so that the distance between the surfaces of the shot peening gear and the target gear during rotation is not the same, and the distance is 20-30 mm, which is the best shot peening effect. Then, the residual stress of the meshing part of the target gear surface can be greater than that of other parts, so as to achieve the effect of precise shot peening. Compared with the patent documents mentioned in the background art, the application does not need to use a pneumatic shot peening device, the dust is small, and the energy utilization rate is high.

According to the characteristics of metal materials, under the action of the electric field, the stress of the flow of metal materials inside is reduced due to electroplasticity, which is beneficial to the production of grain refinement, dislocation and subgrain, and nanocrystalline is more easily generated.

[0012] Optionally, the baffle on both sides of the workbench is provided with a groove for the vertical sliding of the brush fixing rod, and a plurality of positioning grooves for limiting the sliding of the brush fixing rod are arranged on the side wall of the groove in the vertical direction.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, it is ensured that the brush can abut against the surface of the target gear well when machining gears with different tooth thicknesses.

[0016] Optionally, the target shaft is provided with an insulating coupling, the insulating coupling is connected with a target mounting shaft, and the target gear is connected to the target mounting shaft.

[0020] Optionally, the transmission assembly comprises a synchronous belt and two synchronous pulleys, the two synchronous pulleys are respectively installed on the target shaft and the shot blasting shaft through expansion pulleys, and the synchronous belt is installed on the two synchronous pulleys.

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, the synchronous belt drives the shot blasting shaft and the target shaft to rotate synchronously, and at the same time, the target shaft can also avoid ultrasonic vibration with the shot blasting shaft.

[0022] Optionally, the servo motor is connected with a transmission shaft through a shaft coupling, the transmission shaft is rotationally connected to the workbench, the rotation axis of the transmission shaft is arranged along the horizontal direction, a driven bevel gear is coaxially arranged on the shot blasting shaft, and a driving bevel gear is coaxially arranged on the transmission shaft and engaged with the driven bevel gear.

[0027] The application transmits ultrasonic vibration of the shot blasting gear to shot particles by the arrangement of the shot blasting gear and the direct current power supply, the shot particles impact the target gear surface at a high frequency, which promotes the grain refinement, dislocation and subgrain generation of the gear surface layer, thereby generating nanocrystalline. Under the action of the direct current electric field and the rotation of the target gear, an alternating electric field can be generated inside the target gear. Due to the effect of electroplasticity, the flow stress inside the metal material is reduced, which is more conducive to the generation of nanocrystalline and the formation of large gradient residual stress. In addition, under the action of the electric field, the Joule heating effect is generated, the temperature rise causes the local melting of the crack tip inside the material, and the further expansion of the crack is prevented.
