Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gear processing, and in particular to a gear chamfering processing method taking spatial geometric errors into consideration. Background Art

[0002] Gear chamfering is a key process in gear processing. It improves the performance, reliability and service life of the gear by cutting or grinding a bevel or arc transition on the edge of the gear. Gear chamfering errors can be amplified into systemic risks through mechanisms such as mechanical transmission, thermal coupling, and dynamic interaction. High-precision gears need to control the chamfer tolerance within ±0.02mm. Traditional methods for solving gear chamfering processing errors mainly focus on tool angle selection, gear installation deflection, machine tool positioning error and processing parameter error. However, for the structural deviation caused by thermal deformation of the gear after heat treatment, simply adjusting the positioning of the machine tool or adjusting the tool cannot significantly reduce its error. Therefore, it is necessary to design a gear chamfering processing method that takes into account spatial geometric errors to reduce the influence of the gear's own deviation on the chamfering processing error.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0065] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application,

[0066] The drawings and preferred embodiments further illustrate the present invention in detail.

[0067] Gear translational error refers to the linear displacement of a gear's position relative to its theoretical position during actual operation or machining. It is typically caused by manufacturing errors, installation errors, or deformation under load. Gear rotational error refers to the deviation between the actual and theoretical rotational angles. Pitch error causes the angle of each tooth rotation during meshing to differ from the theoretical value, cumulatively resulting in a deviation in the overall rotational angle. Alternatively, if the tooth profile does not conform to the ideal shape, such as the theoretical involute, the contact point and force direction change during meshing, causing uneven gear rotation and resulting in rotational error.
