Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gear deformation detection and mating gear design technology, specifically to a method for detecting deformation of large gear rings and designing mating pinions. Background Technology
[0002] Large gear rings are susceptible to deformation during production and use due to various external factors such as heavy loads, high-speed rotation, and temperature changes, which in turn affect the gear's meshing accuracy and transmission efficiency. In recent years, with the rapid development of industrial technology, the performance requirements for gears have been continuously increasing. Gear bending fatigue resistance, meshing accuracy, and wear resistance have become important standards for measuring their quality. Large gear rings are widely used in mining and heavy machinery. Because of their large size and mass, even under non-operating conditions, the gear teeth deform at the meshing point with the mating pinion simply due to gravity. This affects the meshing transmission conditions, resulting in significant transmission errors and unstable motion, making it difficult to meet the requirements of actual engineering design.
[0003] In existing technologies, methods for inspecting the tooth profile of extra-large bearing gear rings using projection measuring instruments have emerged. This method involves creating a plaster model of the gear ring using ultra-hard plaster for demolding, and then using a projection measuring instrument to inspect and analyze the plaster model to obtain the tooth profile parameters. While this method can improve inspection accuracy to some extent, it still suffers from problems such as complex operation and long inspection cycles.
[0004] Meanwhile, some new attempts and explorations have been made in gear design. For example, by optimizing the gear profile design, the stress distribution of hardened gear teeth can be improved, the gear life can be increased, and the vibration and noise of the gearbox can be reduced. However, these methods still rely on a lot of experimental verification and experience accumulation, and are difficult to directly apply to the design of mating pinions for large gear rings.

In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "another embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.
[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0021] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a specific scheme for a method of detecting deformation in large gear rings and designing mating pinions provided by the present invention.
[0022] Example: The main application scenario of this invention is as follows: In modern industrial manufacturing, gear transmission devices play a crucial role. As fundamental components for transmitting motion and power, gears are widely used in various mechanical systems. Large gear rings, in particular, are commonly used in heavy machinery such as wind turbines, ships, and large construction machinery, and their performance directly affects the stability and reliability of the entire system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and practical large gear ring deformation detection device and a matching pinion design method to achieve rapid and accurate detection of large gear ring deformation and precise design of the matching pinion, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of gear transmission and meeting the high performance requirements of modern industry.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a method for detecting deformation of a large gear ring and designing mating pinions according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the following steps: Step S1: Set up a strain measurement sensor and use the strain measurement sensor to detect the deformation at the root of the large gear teeth; Step S2: Calculate the torsion angle of the large gear teeth on the end face based on the deformation amount; obtain the tooth groove width increment of the large gear teeth on the end face based on the torsion angle; Step S3: Calculate the pressure angle and module of the large gear ring after deformation using the torsion angle of the large gear ring teeth on the end face and the tooth space width increment; Step S4: Calculate the pressure angle and module of the mating pinion based on the pressure angle and module of the large gear ring after deformation; design the mating pinion based on the pressure angle and module of the mating pinion.
[0024] Specifically, in step S1, a strain measurement sensor is set up to detect the deformation at the root of the large gear teeth.
[0025] For large gear rings whose end faces are perpendicular to the ground when not in operation, these large gear rings are mostly thin-walled gear rings. Therefore, when these gear rings mesh with their mating pinions, the teeth at the meshing position will deform due to their own weight.
[0026] Therefore, it is necessary to detect the deformation of the teeth of the large gear on the two end faces of the theoretical meshing position of the large gear ring and the mating pinion. Two devices for measuring strain are arranged at the tooth root positions between the theoretical meshing teeth on the two end faces of the large gear ring to measure the deformation of the large gear ring. The device used to measure strain is a strain measurement sensor.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in this invention, a first strain measurement sensor and a second strain measurement sensor are respectively arranged at the root of the teeth between the theoretically meshing teeth on both end faces of the large gear ring. The first strain measurement sensor and the second strain measurement sensor respectively correspond to... Figure 2 The strain measurement sensors 1 and 2 are used in the structure, wherein the first strain measurement sensor and the second strain measurement sensor measure the deformation at the root of the large gear tooth. In this embodiment of the invention, the value of i is 1 or 2. and The first strain measurement sensor and the second strain measurement sensor respectively represent the amount of deformation measured at the root of the large gear tooth.
[0028] Thus, the deformation at the root of the large gear ring can be detected using a strain measurement sensor. Compared with methods that use a projection measuring instrument to detect the tooth profile of extra-large bearing gear rings and methods that use manual inspection, the detection method in this invention not only ensures the accuracy of the detection but also takes into account the efficiency of the detection.
[0029] Step S2: Calculate the torsion angle of the large gear teeth on the end face based on the deformation amount; obtain the tooth groove width increment of the large gear teeth on the end face based on the torsion angle.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the first strain measuring sensor and the second strain measuring sensor is obtained, denoted as d. Simultaneously, the distance from the first strain measuring sensor to the center of the large gear is obtained, denoted as R. Then, the deformation at the root of the large gear teeth measured by the first and second strain measuring sensors is combined with this information. and The torsion angle of the gear teeth on the end face can be calculated, that is... Figure 3The deflection angle between involute 1 and involute 2 shown is the deflection angle of the involute on the end face, which is also the torsional angle of the gear teeth. Specifically, the formula for calculating the torsional angle of the large gear teeth on the end face is: , in, This indicates the angle of twist of the large gear teeth on the end face; and The first and second strain measurement sensors represent the deformation at the root of the large gear teeth, respectively; R represents the distance between the first strain measurement sensor and the center of the large gear; and d represents the distance between the first and second strain measurement sensors.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the pitch of the end face of the large gear ring before tooth deformation is... The end face tooth thickness is The width of the tooth groove on the end face is e. The tooth pitch on the end face... Equal to end face tooth thickness The sum of the width of the tooth groove on the end face, e.
[0032] Because the teeth of the large gear ring are deformed, there will be a torsional angle in the teeth. Although the gear tooth torsion angle does not affect the end face tooth thickness of the large gear ring, However, this will affect the tooth space width e on the end face. In other words, as the tooth twist angle increases, the tooth space width on the end face of the large gear ring will also increase accordingly. The increase in tooth space width on the end face after deformation is as follows: Figure 3 shown .
[0033] Specifically, the tooth space width increment is the product of the pitch circle radius of the large gear ring and the torsional angle of the large gear ring teeth on the end face. The formula for calculating the tooth space width increment of the large gear ring teeth on the end face is: , in, This indicates the increment of the tooth groove width on the end face of the large gear ring; Indicates the pitch circle radius of the large gear ring; This indicates the torsional angle of the large gear teeth on the end face.
[0034] Therefore, we can obtain the torsion angle of the large gear teeth on the end face and the tooth groove width increment of the large gear teeth on the end face, and then proceed with the next analysis.
[0035] Step S3: Calculate the pressure angle and module of the large gear ring after deformation using the torsion angle of the teeth on the end face and the tooth groove width increment.
[0036] The torsion angle of the gear teeth on the end face and the increment of the tooth space width have been calculated. Figure 4 As shown, after the teeth of the large gear ring deform, Q1 shifts to the position of Q2, and θ is... Figure 3 The involute 1 shown has an angle of development at Q1. for Figure 3 The involute 2 shown has an angle of development at Q2, and the base circle radii of the large gear before and after deformation are respectively... and The end face pressure angle of the large gear ring before deformation is The end face pressure angle of the deformed large gear ring is The change in the end face pressure angle is the difference between the end face pressure angles before and after the deformation of the large gear teeth, i.e. .
[0037] Through Figure 4 The basic parameters and geometric relationships of the large gear ring before and after deformation are shown, and then the following can be derived: The calculation formula is: .like Figure 4 As shown and If there is a certain relationship between them, then and The relationship is: ;in, ; ; ; ; ; ; By combining the above formulas, the formula for calculating the change in the pressure angle of the rear end face of the deformed large gear ring can be obtained as follows: , in, This represents the change in the pressure angle at the rear end face of the deformed large gear ring. Indicates the pitch circle radius of the large gear ring; This indicates the angle of twist of the large gear teeth on the end face; This indicates the increment of the tooth groove width on the end face of the large gear ring; Indicates the development angle of an involute; This represents the base circle radius of the large gear ring. The pressure angles of the large gear ring after deformation include the end face pressure angle and the normal pressure angle after deformation.
[0038] Furthermore, the change in the pressure angle of the rear end face of the deformed large gear ring is... Pressure angle of the end face before deformation of the large gear ring Adding them together yields the end face pressure angle of the deformed large gear ring. The specific calculation formula is as follows: , in, This indicates the end face pressure angle after the large gear ring has deformed. This indicates the end face pressure angle before the large gear ring deforms. Indicates the pitch circle radius of the large gear ring; This indicates the angle of twist of the large gear teeth on the end face; This indicates the increment of the tooth groove width on the end face of the large gear ring; It is represented by the development angle of the involute profile of the large gear ring at the pitch circle before deformation; This indicates the base circle radius of the large gear ring. The calculation formula is: .
[0039] Next, in order to ensure that the subsequent pinion can match the large gear, it is also necessary to calculate the normal pressure angle of the large gear ring after deformation. The specific calculation formula is as follows: , in, This indicates the normal pressure angle of the large gear ring after deformation. This indicates the end face pressure angle after the large gear ring has deformed. This indicates the helix angle of the large gear ring.
[0040] The module of the large gear ring after deformation includes the normal module and the end face module. As the tooth space width increases after deformation, the corresponding end face tooth pitch also increases, which is the end face tooth pitch of the gear. Related to the gear module, end face tooth pitch As the gear changes, its module also changes. Therefore, the normal module of the deformed large gear ring can be calculated using the end face tooth pitch. The formula for calculating the normal module of the deformed large gear ring is as follows: , in, This represents the normal module of the large gear ring after deformation. This represents the normal module of the large gear ring before deformation. Indicates the pitch circle radius of the large gear ring; This indicates the angle of twist of the large gear teeth on the end face; Indicates the helix angle of the large gear ring; It represents pi (π). ,therefore The calculation formula can also be expressed as
[0041] The formula for calculating the end face module of the large gear ring after deformation is as follows: , in, This indicates the module of the end face of the large gear ring after deformation. This represents the normal module of the large gear ring after deformation. This indicates the helix angle of the large gear ring.
[0042] This yielded the end face pressure angle of the deformed large gear ring. The normal pressure angle of the large gear ring after deformation The normal module of the large gear ring after deformation The module of the end face of the large gear ring after deformation .
[0043] Step S4: Calculate the pressure angle and module of the mating pinion based on the pressure angle and module of the large gear ring after deformation; design the mating pinion based on the pressure angle and module of the mating pinion.
[0044] The pressure angles after the large gear ring deforms include the end face pressure angle and the normal pressure angle of the large gear ring after deformation, which are respectively... and The module of the large gear ring after deformation includes the normal module and the end face module of the large gear ring after deformation, which are respectively... and .
[0045] To ensure good meshing between the large gear ring and the mating pinion, the pressure angle and module of the mating pinion should be equal.
[0046] Therefore, the end face pressure angle and normal pressure angle of the mating pinion are equal to the end face pressure angle and normal pressure angle of the deformed large gear ring, respectively. The formulas for calculating the end face pressure angle and normal pressure angle of the mating pinion are: ; ; in, The end face pressure angle after the large gear ring is deformed; Indicates the pressure angle of the pinion's end face; The normal pressure angle of the large gear ring after deformation; This indicates the normal pressure angle of the pinion.
[0047] The face module and normal module of the mating pinion are equal to the face module and normal module of the large gear ring after deformation, respectively. The formulas for calculating the face module and normal module of the mating pinion are as follows: ; ; in, This represents the normal module of the large gear ring after deformation. Indicates the normal module of the paired pinion; This is the module of the end face of the large gear ring after deformation. This indicates the end face module of the paired pinion.
[0048] From this, we can obtain the end face pressure angle and normal pressure angle of the mating pinion, as well as the end face module and normal module of the mating pinion, and design the mating pinion accordingly.
