Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shaft components, and in particular to a preparation method of an intermediate shaft of a transmission device and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The transmission system is often composed of gears, shafts, couplings and clutches, among which shafts and couplings are collectively referred to as shaft components. Shaft components are frequently used connecting components in power transmission systems and are mainly used to transmit power. Since the power transmission scenarios using couplings are complex and changeable, various constraints should be fully considered when designing couplings, such as the interface of the connecting shaft, space restrictions, weight requirements, system speed and maximum torque transmitted. Therefore, considering the dynamic characteristics of the power transmission system of the coupling has always been the focus of power equipment research and development, and the dynamic problems of high-speed power transmission systems containing elastic couplings have always been a bottleneck problem that plagues the research and development of power equipment. By selecting a suitable elastic coupling, it can change the natural frequency of the transmission system, adjust bending and torsional vibrations, and increase or decrease the critical speed. Matching the dynamic characteristics of the elastic coupling with the characteristics of the power system can improve transmission efficiency, reduce vibration and noise, and better serve the transmission shaft system of mechanical equipment such as ships, vehicles, and engineering machinery.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of composite material technology, the use of composite materials to replace metal materials to prepare shafts, couplings and other transmission components can achieve the goal of lightweighting with unchanged or better performance. Fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials have high specific strength and specific stiffness, and have the unique advantage of being designable. Compared with traditional steel couplings, couplings made of carbon fiber composite materials have the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, simple layout and installation, and easy operation and maintenance. Through the reasonable design of composite material structures, it is possible to achieve lightweighting of the power transmission system while improving the overall performance. Therefore, while ensuring that the power transmission, statics, dynamics and other performances are equal to or even higher than those of metal couplings, the use of composite materials to design and prepare couplings can achieve the goal of lightweighting. Further optimization of design parameters, process methods and system performance matching design can optimize the dynamic characteristics of the transmission system while taking into account lightweighting, and achieve the goal of vibration reduction and noise reduction. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problem that the intermediate shaft of a transmission device made of metal material is heavy, and provides a preparation method of the intermediate shaft of a transmission device and application thereof.

[0005] The preparation method of the transmission intermediate shaft of the present invention is carried out according to the following steps:

[0006] 1. According to the shape structure and size of the intermediate shaft of the transmission device, the carbon fiber is three-dimensionally woven on a fiber braiding machine, and a hole structure is reserved during weaving for bolt connection to obtain a braided preform;

[0007] 2. Place the braided preform obtained in step 1 in resin, and then cure it to obtain the intermediate shaft of the transmission device.

[0008] The intermediate shaft of the transmission device of the present invention is used to form a coupling, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is composed of a transmission device intermediate shaft 1, a metal flange 2 and a metal diaphragm group 3. The metal diaphragm group 3 is located between the intermediate shaft 1 and the metal flange 2, and the three are connected by bolts 4.

[0009] Advantages of the present invention:

[0010] The intermediate shaft prepared by the present invention is integrally formed, adopts a three-dimensional braided composite material process, and is braided on a fiber braiding machine according to the geometric shape of the metal intermediate shaft by designing fiber bundle parameters and braiding angle parameters, and then cured in resin. The present invention reserves a hole structure in the braided preform for bolt connection, avoiding the occurrence of fiber damage introduced by conventional process methods (the conventional method is: mechanical processing after the fiber preform is cured).

[0011] The intermediate shaft prepared by the present invention can also be used for diaphragm couplings, diaphragm couplings, transmission shafts, and the like.

[0012] The present invention adopts a carbon fiber reinforced resin-based composite material to replace the intermediate shaft made of a traditional metal material, which can effectively reduce the weight of the coupling, making the coupling lightweight while taking into account the dynamic characteristics.
