[0016] The establishment of a spline meshing state characterization model of the spline comprises: The spline meshing state characterization model is established based on the pitch circle, pitch circle and meshing point of the standard spline.
[0017] The obtaining of the spline tooth backlash and pressure angle of the spline including parallel misalignment by the spline meshing state characterization model includes: Obtaining displacement data of the external spline in a parallel misalignment state by moving the actual tooth position of the external spline of the spline on the spline meshing state representation model; Obtaining a time-varying backlash variation and a pressure angle of the spline containing parallel misalignment according to the displacement data of the external spline in the parallel misalignment state; The spline tooth side clearance including parallel misalignment of the spline is obtained according to the variation of the time-varying side clearance of the spline.
[0018] The calculation model of the spline single tooth meshing stiffness with parallel misalignment is established by using the potential energy method, the spline tooth backlash, and the pressure angle, including: Calculating the single tooth bending stiffness, shear stiffness, and axial compression stiffness of the external spline and the internal spline of the spline; According to the single tooth bending stiffness, shear stiffness, axial compression stiffness and the spline single tooth meshing stiffness calculation model containing parallel misalignment is established.
[0019] The spline tooth meshing deformation coordination condition of the spline obtained according to the spline single tooth meshing stiffness calculation model includes: The front side meshing deformation and the back side meshing deformation of the spline are calculated by using a spline single tooth meshing stiffness calculation model in a parallel misalignment state of the spline.
[0020] The method for calculating the spline meshing deformation of the spline according to the spline tooth meshing deformation coordination condition includes: Calculating the spline meshing force of the spline by using the spline meshing deformation calculation method of the spline; A calculation method for obtaining the spline meshing deformation of the spline is obtained through the spline meshing force.
[0021] For example, a spline meshing state characterization model is first established to obtain the spline tooth side clearance and pressure angle with parallel misalignment; then, based on the potential energy method, a spline single tooth meshing stiffness calculation model with parallel misalignment is established according to the spline tooth pressure angle; finally, based on the spline tooth meshing deformation coordination condition, a spline meshing deformation calculation method is proposed, and then a spline meshing force model with parallel misalignment is established. The overall calculation process is as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0022] First, a spline meshing state characterization model is established, including the parallel misaligned spline single tooth meshing state as follows: Figure 3 As shown. For a normal spline, the pitch circle and the pitch circle coincide, and the meshing point is K1 (K2) (K1 is located on the external spline teeth, and K2 is located on the internal spline teeth). When the spline has a parallel misalignment error, assuming that the internal spline is fixed, the actual tooth position of the external spline moves along the tooth profile symmetry line. At this time, the external spline engagement point becomes K 1' , the internal spline engagement point becomes K 2' Assume that the moving distance from K2 to K2 along the tooth symmetry line is 0.5 , then the pitch radius of any tooth of the spline with parallel misalignment is: (1) Where, and is the spline pitch circle radius and number of teeth; Internal spline engagement point The vertical distance to the symmetry line of the external spline tooth profile is calculated according to formula (8); The equivalent misalignment of any spline tooth is calculated as follows: (2) Where, and For inner / outer spline edge x and y Directional displacement; E mis and is the parallel misalignment and phase angle; is the position angle of any tooth, and its calculation formula is: (3) Where, j is the tooth number; θ e is the external spline angular displacement.
[0023] The schematic diagram of the external spline engagement state is as follows Figure 4 As shown in the figure, there are two sets of coordinate systems: one is the global coordinate system ( X G , Y G ), the other is the local coordinate system used to determine the coordinates of the external spline meshing line ( X Le , Y Le In the local coordinate system ( X Le , Y Le ), K 1' The coordinates can be expressed as: (4) Where r b is the base circle radius; Is the external spline in K 1' The pressure angle of a point is expressed as: (5) The schematic diagram of the internal spline engagement state is as follows Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the local coordinate system ( X Li , Y Li ) is used to determine the involute coordinates of the external spline. In the local coordinate system ( X Li , Y Li ), the coordinates of K2' can be expressed as: (6) Where, Internal spline K 2' The pressure angle of a point is expressed as: (7) based on Figure 5According to the geometric relationship in , the vertical distance from the internal spline tooth meshing point K2' to the external spline tooth profile symmetry line is: (8) Where, is the angle between the meshing line of the meshing point K1' and the tooth thickness direction; α 2 is the half tooth angle. Their calculation formula is: (9) (10) In the above formula is the pressure angle at the spline pitch circle. When the external spline rotates a certain angle to mesh with the internal spline, K1' and K2' coincide. By solving the rotation angle, the time-varying backlash of the spline with parallel misalignment can be calculated. This angle can be calculated based on the coordinates of K1' and K2' in the global coordinate system, as follows Figure 6 As shown. The coordinates of K1' in the global coordinate system are: (11) The coordinates of K2' in the global coordinate system are: (12) Therefore, the rotation angle is: (13) The change in spline tooth backlash caused by parallel misalignment is: (14) The variable backlash of the spline teeth is: (15) Where, b s0 is the initial side clearance.
[0024] Secondly, the spline single tooth meshing stiffness model with parallel misalignment is constructed as follows: Considering the influence of the time-varying meshing position of the spline teeth caused by parallel misalignment, the equivalent cantilever beam models of the internal and external spline teeth are as follows: Figure 7 、 8 As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the single tooth bending stiffness, shear stiffness and axial compression stiffness are: (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (twenty one) Where, K be / i 、 K se / i and K ae / i are the bending stiffness, shear stiffness and axial compression stiffness of a single tooth of the external / internal spline; E , G and v are Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio respectively; β The distance from the starting point of the involute tooth profile on the tooth root fillet x The angle between the root radius at point 1 and the perpendicular line of the tooth profile symmetry line passing through the center of the root fillet; β 0 is the angle between the tooth root fillet radius at the starting point of the external spline involute tooth profile and the perpendicular line of the tooth profile symmetry line passing through the center of the tooth root fillet circle; β 1 is the angle between the root fillet radius at the end point of the external spline tooth root fillet and the perpendicular line of the tooth profile symmetry line passing through the center of the root fillet circle; β i0 It is the angle between the tooth root fillet radius at the starting point of the internal spline involute tooth profile and the perpendicular line of the tooth profile symmetry line passing through the center of the tooth root fillet circle; β i1 It is the angle between the root fillet radius at the end point of the internal spline tooth root fillet and the perpendicular line of the tooth profile symmetry line passing through the center of the root fillet circle; γ 1', d 1', h e '、 d i 'and h i ' is the angle between the perpendicular line of the meshing line at point K2' and the tooth profile symmetry line, the distance from the intersection of the external spline tooth root circle and the involute tooth profile to the meshing point along the tooth profile symmetry line, the vertical distance from the external spline meshing point to the tooth profile symmetry line, the distance from the intersection of the internal spline tooth root circle and the involute tooth profile to the meshing point along the tooth profile symmetry line, and the vertical distance from the internal spline meshing point to the tooth profile symmetry line. Their expressions are: (twenty two) (twenty three) (twenty four) (25) (26) The meshing stiffness of a single spline tooth is: (27) Where, K fe 、 K fi and Kh are the outer spline matrix stiffness, inner spline matrix stiffness and Hertz contact stiffness.
[0025] Finally, the meshing force model of a single spline tooth with parallel misalignment is constructed as follows: Considering the time-varying meshing position of the spline caused by parallel misalignment, the meshing deformation of the front side of the spline is: (28) The back side meshing deformation is: (29) The spline engagement force can be expressed as: (30) Where, F sj f / b is the front and back engagement force; C sj For meshing damping.
[0026] The comparison of spline meshing force when considering the time-varying meshing position and not considering the time-varying meshing position when the parallel misalignment is 50μm is as follows Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the results show that when the parallel misalignment is 50 μm, the peak-to-peak values of the spline meshing force with and without considering the time-varying meshing position are 1035.06 N and 275.49 N, respectively, with a difference of 759.57 N. The results show that not considering the time-varying meshing position of the spline will lead to a large error in the spline meshing force, proving the importance of considering the time-varying meshing position of the spline.
