Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a transmission optimization method, device, and terminal for a cross-shaft universal joint transmission device, belonging to the field of automotive transmission technology. Background Technology

[0002] Universal joints with cross shafts are widely used in automotive steering systems due to their simple structure, reliable transmission, high efficiency, and ability to allow for large angles between two drive shafts. By connecting two universal joints in series and adjusting the phase angle of the joint forks to find the optimal phase angle, the transmission ripple of the universal joint can be minimized. However, because universal joints have non-uniform velocity characteristics, torsional vibrations can occur in the transmission components during transmission, resulting in additional alternating loads. This affects both the fatigue life of components and the vehicle's handling. While existing research has provided methods for calculating the speed ripple of two-universal-joint transmission mechanisms, there is a lack of theoretical support for the more complex three-universal-joint transmission mechanisms. Optimization can only be achieved through permutations and combinations from several alternative arrangements, which limits the upper limit of performance optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a transmission optimization method, device, and terminal for a cross-shaft universal joint transmission device. This addresses the problem that when dealing with a more complex 3-cross-shaft universal joint transmission mechanism, there is a lack of theoretical support, and the only solution is to rely on permutations and combinations to find a relatively optimal solution from several alternative arrangement schemes, which to some extent limits the upper limit of performance optimization.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a transmission optimization method for a universal joint drive device is provided, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] The three cross-shaped universal joint transmission devices were brought into the 3D software, and their relevant parameters were defined and obtained respectively.

[0007] A simplified three-universal-joint planar transmission mechanism is obtained by adjusting the phase angle of the corresponding universal joint master / driven fork plane in the three cross-shaft universal joint transmission devices.

[0008] The simplified three-universal joint planar transmission mechanism is equivalently processed to obtain an equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. Based on the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism, the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts are obtained.

[0009] Preferably, the definition and acquisition of relevant parameters include:

[0010] Define the relevant parameters, including:

[0011] Four axes are defined along the direction of motion transmission: input shaft, first intermediate shaft, second intermediate shaft and output shaft. Three universal joints are defined along the direction of motion transmission: first universal joint, second universal joint and third universal joint. A first plane is defined by the two drive shafts connected by the first universal joint, a second plane is defined by the two drive shafts connected by the second universal joint, and a third plane C is defined by the two drive shafts connected by the third universal joint.

[0012] Obtain relevant parameters, including:

[0013] The angle between the input shaft and the first intermediate shaft, the angle between the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft, the angle between the second intermediate shaft and the output shaft, the angle between the first plane and the second plane, the angle between the second plane and the third plane, the first phase angle between the driving fork plane of the second universal joint and the driven fork plane of the first universal joint, and the second phase angle between the driving fork plane of the third universal joint and the driven fork plane of the second universal joint;

[0014] The first phase angle and the second phase angle are initially 0°.

[0015] Preferably, the simplified three-universal-joint planar transmission mechanism is obtained by adjusting the phase angle of the corresponding universal joint driving / driven fork plane in the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission devices, comprising:

[0016] Rotate the driven fork plane of the first universal joint to a position parallel to the first plane, rotate the driving fork plane of the second universal joint to a position parallel to the second plane, and rotate the driving fork plane of the third universal joint to a position perpendicular to the third plane.

[0017] The second intermediate shaft is rotated around the first intermediate shaft until it is coplanar with the first plane, and the output shaft is rotated around the second intermediate shaft until it is coplanar with the first plane. Then the first phase angle and the second phase angle are reset to their initial values ​​of 0° to obtain a simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism.

[0018] Preferably, the step of performing equivalent processing on the simplified three-universal joint planar transmission mechanism to obtain an equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism, and obtaining the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the lengths of the two intermediate shafts based on the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism, includes:

[0019] Rotate the driving fork plane of the first universal joint in the simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism to a vertical position, and make the cross shaft plane perpendicular to the axis of the driving shaft. Set this position as the first extreme position. Rotate the driving fork plane of the first universal joint in the simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism to a horizontal position, and make the cross shaft plane perpendicular to the axis of the driven shaft. Set this position as the second extreme position.

[0020] The equivalent angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism is obtained based on the first extreme position, the second extreme position, the angle between the input shaft and the first intermediate shaft, the angle between the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft, and the angle between the second intermediate shaft and the output shaft. The equivalent angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism is shown in the following formula (1):

[0021] λ 2 =[(α 2 -β 2 +γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (1)

[0022] Where: λ is the equivalent included angle, α is the included angle between the input axis and the first intermediate axis, β is the included angle between the first intermediate axis and the second intermediate axis, and γ is the included angle between the second intermediate axis and the output axis;

[0023] When β>α and β>γ, the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the first equivalent included angle of the first equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The first equivalent included angle reaches its minimum value. The spatial arrangement angle or length of the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft is adjusted until α>γ. 2 +γ 2 With β 2 When the values ​​are equal, the first equivalent included angle value approaches 0°, thus obtaining the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts;

[0024] When α>β and α>γ, the driving fork plane of the third universal joint is rotated 90° relative to the driven fork plane of the second universal joint. The equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the second equivalent included angle of the second equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The value of the second equivalent included angle is shown in formula (2) below:

[0025] λ2 2 =[(α 2 -β 2 -γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (2)

[0026] At this point, the second equivalent included angle reaches its minimum value. Adjust the spatial arrangement angle or length of the first and second intermediate axes until α... 2 +γ 2 With β 2 When the values ​​are equal, the second equivalent included angle value approaches 0°, thus obtaining the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts;

[0027] When γ>α and γ>β, the driving fork plane of the second universal joint is rotated 90° relative to the driven fork plane of the first universal joint. The equivalent included angle λ of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the third equivalent included angle of the third equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The value of the third equivalent included angle is shown in formula (3) below:

[0028] λ3 2 =[(α 2 +β 2 -γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (3)

[0029] When the third equivalent included angle reaches its minimum value, the spatial arrangement angle or length of the first and second intermediate axes is adjusted until α reaches its minimum value. 2 +γ 2 With β 2 When the values ​​are equal, the third equivalent included angle value approaches 0°, thus obtaining the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts.

[0030] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a transmission optimization device for a universal joint drive mechanism is provided, the device comprising:

[0031] The parameter module is used to bring the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission devices into the 3D software and define and obtain relevant parameters respectively;

[0032] A simplified module is used to adjust the phase angle of the corresponding universal joint master / slave fork plane in the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission devices to obtain a simplified three universal joint plane transmission mechanism;

[0033] An equivalent module is used to perform equivalent processing on the simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism to obtain an equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. Based on the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism, the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts are obtained.

[0034] Preferably, the simplified module is used for:

[0036] The second intermediate shaft is rotated around the first intermediate shaft until it is coplanar with the first plane, and the output shaft is rotated around the second intermediate shaft until it is coplanar with the first plane. Then the first phase angle and the second phase angle are reset to their initial values ​​of 0° to obtain a simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism.

[0037] Preferably, the equivalent module is used for:

[0038] Rotate the driving fork plane of the first universal joint in the simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism to a vertical position, and make the cross shaft plane perpendicular to the axis of the driving shaft. Set this position as the first extreme position. Rotate the driving fork plane of the first universal joint in the simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism to a horizontal position, and make the cross shaft plane perpendicular to the axis of the driven shaft. Set this position as the second extreme position.

[0039] The equivalent angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism is obtained based on the first extreme position, the second extreme position, the angle between the input shaft and the first intermediate shaft, the angle between the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft, and the angle between the second intermediate shaft and the output shaft. The equivalent angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism is shown in the following formula (1):

[0040] λ 2 =[(α 2 -β 2 +γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (1)

[0041] Where: λ is the equivalent included angle, α is the included angle between the input axis and the first intermediate axis, β is the included angle between the first intermediate axis and the second intermediate axis, and γ is the included angle between the second intermediate axis and the output axis;

[0042] When β>α and β>γ, the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the first equivalent included angle of the first equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The first equivalent included angle reaches its minimum value. The spatial arrangement angle or length of the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft is adjusted until α>γ. 2 +γ 2 With β 2 When the values ​​are equal, the first equivalent included angle value approaches 0°, thus obtaining the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts;

[0043] When α>β and α>γ, the driving fork plane of the third universal joint is rotated 90° relative to the driven fork plane of the second universal joint. The equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the second equivalent included angle of the second equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The value of the second equivalent included angle is shown in formula (2) below:

[0044] λ2 2 =[(α 2 -β 2 -γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (2)

[0045] At this point, the second equivalent included angle reaches its minimum value. Adjust the spatial arrangement angle or length of the first and second intermediate axes until α... 2 +γ 2 With β 2 When the values ​​are equal, the second equivalent included angle value approaches 0°, thus obtaining the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts;

[0046] When γ>α and γ>β, the driving fork plane of the second universal joint is rotated 90° relative to the driven fork plane of the first universal joint. The equivalent included angle λ of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the third equivalent included angle of the third equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The value of the third equivalent included angle is shown in formula (3) below:

[0047] λ3 2 =[(α 2 +β 2 -γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (3)

[0048] When the third equivalent included angle reaches its minimum value, the spatial arrangement angle or length of the first and second intermediate axes is adjusted until α reaches its minimum value. 2 +γ 2 With β 2 When the values ​​are equal, the third equivalent included angle value approaches 0°, thus obtaining the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts.

[0068] This invention provides a transmission optimization method for a universal joint drive device. The method is implemented by a terminal, which can be a desktop computer or a laptop computer, etc., and the terminal includes at least a CPU.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a transmission optimization method for a universal joint drive device according to an exemplary embodiment. The method is used in a terminal and includes the following steps:

[0071] Step 101: Import the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission devices into the 3D software, and define and obtain the relevant parameters respectively. The specific content is as follows:

[0072] The parameters defined above include:

[0073] like Figure 2As shown, four axes are defined along the direction of motion transmission: input shaft, first intermediate shaft, second intermediate shaft and output shaft. Three universal joints are defined along the direction of motion transmission: first universal joint, second universal joint and third universal joint. The first plane A is determined by the two drive shafts connected by the first universal joint, the second plane B is determined by the two drive shafts connected by the second universal joint, and the third plane C is determined by the two drive shafts connected by the third universal joint.

[0074] Obtain relevant parameters, including:

[0075] The angles α between the input shaft and the first intermediate shaft, β between the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft, γ between the second intermediate shaft and the output shaft, θ1 between the first plane and the second plane, θ2 between the second plane and the third plane, a first phase angle ψ1 between the driving fork plane of the second universal joint and the driven fork plane of the first universal joint, and a second phase angle ψ2 between the driving fork plane of the third universal joint and the driven fork plane of the second universal joint are all specified. The first and second phase angles are initially 0°.

[0076] Step 102: Adjust the phase angle of the corresponding universal joint driving / driven fork plane in the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission devices to obtain a simplified three-universal joint planar transmission mechanism, the details of which are as follows:

[0077] The presence of surface angles θ1 and θ2 makes the calculation of the output shaft speed fluctuation relative to the input shaft very complex. This is to eliminate the adverse effects of the surface angles and reduce the non-uniform speed effect.

[0078] Rotate the driven fork plane of the first universal joint to a position parallel to the first plane. Rotate the driving fork plane of the second universal joint relative to the driven fork plane of the first universal joint by a phase angle, making the driving fork plane of the second universal joint parallel to the second plane. That is, the first phase angle between the driving fork plane of the second universal joint and the driven fork plane of the first universal joint is equal to the angle between the first and second planes. Rotate the driving fork plane of the third universal joint relative to the driven fork plane of the second universal joint by a phase angle, making the driving fork plane of the third universal joint perpendicular to the third plane. That is, the second phase angle between the driving fork plane of the third universal joint and the driven fork plane of the second universal joint is 90° - the angle between the second and third planes. At this time, the influence of the spatial transmission mechanism formed by the surface angles θ1 and θ2 on the output shaft speed fluctuation is canceled out by the phase angles ψ1 and ψ2. The motion characteristics of this spatial transmission mechanism are completely equivalent to those of the planar transmission mechanism.

[0079] Rotate the second intermediate axis around the first intermediate axis by an angle θ1 so that it is coplanar with the first plane. Rotate the output shaft around the second intermediate axis to an angle θ2 so that it is coplanar with the first plane. Then reset the first phase angle and the second phase angle to their initial values ​​of 0°.

[0080] At this point, the four shaft segments connected by the three universal joints are all within the first plane A. Furthermore, the plane of the driven fork of the first universal joint is in the same plane as the plane of the driving fork of the second universal joint, and the plane of the driven fork of the second universal joint is also in the same plane as the plane of the driving fork of the third universal joint. The planar transmission mechanism obtained through the above unfolding process has the same output shaft speed fluctuation characteristics as the previously defined spatial transmission mechanism, thus yielding a simplified three-universal-joint planar transmission mechanism.

[0081] Step 103: The simplified three-universal joint planar transmission mechanism is equivalently processed to obtain an equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. Based on the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism, the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the lengths of the two intermediate shafts are obtained. The specific details are as follows:

[0082] In the simplified three-universal joint planar transmission mechanism, the driving fork plane of the first universal joint is rotated to a vertical position, and the cross shaft plane is perpendicular to the axis of the driving shaft. This position is set as the first extreme position. Figure 3 As shown. In the simplified three-universal joint planar transmission mechanism, the driving fork plane of the first universal joint is rotated to a horizontal position, and the cross shaft plane is perpendicular to the driven shaft axis. This position is set as the second extreme position, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0083] The equivalent angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism is obtained based on the first limit position, the second limit position, the angle between the input shaft and the first intermediate shaft, the angle between the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft, and the angle between the second intermediate shaft and the output shaft. The specific details are as follows:

[0084] According to the velocity right triangle, in the three-axis universal joint steering transmission mechanism, when the input shaft rotates at a constant speed, the output shaft speed will exhibit periodic fluctuations between position 1 and position 2, with a fluctuation range of V. a ×cosβ / (cosα×cosγ)~V a (cosα×cosγ) / cosβ. When cosβ=cosα×cosγ, V d =V a The output shaft will rotate at a constant speed, at which point β>α, β>γ, where V a Input shaft speed, V b The first intermediate shaft speed, V cFor the second intermediate shaft speed, V d This refers to the output shaft speed.

[0085] Let cosβ / (cosα×cosγ)=cosλ, then (cosα×cosγ) / cosβ=1 / cosλ. The above three cross-shaft universal joint transmission mechanisms can be equivalently represented by a single cross-shaft universal joint transmission mechanism with an included angle of λ, where λ is the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism, and its value is shown in the following formula (1):

[0086] λ 2 =[(α 2 -β 2 +γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (1)

[0087] Where: λ is the equivalent included angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism, α is the included angle between the input shaft and the first intermediate shaft, β is the included angle between the first intermediate shaft and the second intermediate shaft, and γ is the included angle between the second intermediate shaft and the output shaft;

[0088] When β>α and β>γ, the equivalent included angle λ of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the first equivalent included angle λ of the first equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. 1, The first equivalent included angle λ1 reaches its minimum value. The spatial arrangement angle or length of the first and second intermediate axes is adjusted, changing the values ​​of angles α, β, and γ until α... 2 +γ 2 With β 2 If the values ​​are equal and the first equivalent included angle λ1 approaches 0°, then the output shafts of the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission mechanisms will rotate at a constant speed, with a rotational speed V. d =V a The rotational speed fluctuation effect is completely eliminated, and the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts are obtained.

[0089] When α>β and α>γ, the driving fork plane of the third universal joint is rotated 90° relative to the driven fork plane of the second universal joint to obtain the second equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The equivalent included angle λ of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the second equivalent included angle λ2 of the second equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The value of the second equivalent included angle λ2 is shown in formula (2) below:

[0090] λ2 2 =[(α 2 -β 2 -γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (2)

[0091] At this point, the second equivalent included angle λ2 reaches its minimum value. Adjusting the spatial arrangement angle or length of the first and second intermediate axes changes the values ​​of angles α, β, and γ until α... 2 +γ 2 With β 2 If the values ​​are equal and the second equivalent included angle λ2 approaches 0°, then the output shafts of the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission mechanisms will rotate at a constant speed, with a rotational speed V. d =V a The rotational speed fluctuation effect is completely eliminated, and the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts are obtained.

[0092] When γ>α and γ>β, the driving fork plane of the second universal joint is rotated 90° relative to the driven fork plane of the first universal joint. The equivalent included angle λ of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism in formula (1) is equal to the third equivalent included angle λ3 of the third equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism. The value of the third equivalent included angle λ3 is shown in formula (3) below:

[0093] λ3 2 =[(α 2 +β 2 -γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (3)

[0094] The third equivalent included angle λ3 reaches its minimum value. Adjust the spatial arrangement angles or lengths of the first and second intermediate axes, changing the values ​​of angles α, β, and γ until α... 2 +γ 2 With β 2 If the values ​​are equal and the third equivalent included angle λ3 approaches 0°, then the output shafts of the three cross-shaped universal joint transmission mechanisms will rotate at a constant speed, with a rotational speed V. d =V a The rotational speed fluctuation effect is completely eliminated, and the optimal relative arrangement angle between adjacent universal joints and the length of the two intermediate shafts are obtained.

[0101] Rotate the driven fork plane of the first universal joint to a position parallel to the first plane, rotate the driving fork plane of the second universal joint to a position parallel to the second plane, and rotate the driving fork plane of the third universal joint to a position perpendicular to the third plane.

[0102] The second intermediate shaft is rotated around the first intermediate shaft until it is coplanar with the first plane, and the output shaft is rotated around the second intermediate shaft until it is coplanar with the first plane. Then the first phase angle and the second phase angle are reset to their initial values ​​of 0° to obtain a simplified three universal joint planar transmission mechanism.

The equivalent angle of the equivalent single universal joint transmission mechanism is shown in the following formula (1):

[0106] λ 2 =[(α 2 -β 2 +γ 2 ) 2 ] 1 / 2 (1)

[0107] Where: λ is the equivalent included angle, α is the included angle between the input axis and the first intermediate axis, β is the included angle between the first intermediate axis and the second intermediate axis, and γ is the included angle between the second intermediate axis and the output axis;
