Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gear processing, and particularly to a method for eliminating Fourier ghost orders. Background Art

[0002] The principle of Fourier transform is a mathematical tool that can transform a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain, thereby realizing signal analysis and processing. The application of Fourier transform is very extensive. In audio processing, Fourier transform can decompose an audio signal into sound waves of different frequencies, thereby realizing audio spectrum analysis and filtering. For example, in the process of gear transmission, it can collect the meshing vibration waves of a pair of mating gears, and finally output an order error report by analyzing the tooth surface ripple to evaluate whether the gear Fourier is qualified.

[0003] The transmissions of existing hybrid or electric vehicles operate very quietly. Therefore, even a tooth surface error of 0.5 microns will cause gear noise problems. Such specific tooth surface errors are called ripples caused by the tooth surface hard machining process (such as gear grinding) on the tooth surface. When the gear rotates, ripples will continuously appear in the radial direction of the involute tooth profile and the direction perpendicular to the tooth surface. Therefore, a 0.5-micron error does not only occur on one tooth, but on all teeth. The gear error is called a ghost order error. The ghost order error has nothing to do with the natural order caused by the number of gear teeth Z and is usually caused by extremely small errors (less than 0.002 mm) in the gear grinding process. To solve the problem of vehicle noise, we propose a method for eliminating Fourier ghost orders. Summary of the Invention
