[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a hybrid elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis method for spiral bevel gears based on surface roughness, and the method includes the following steps.

[0025] S1. Obtain the gear and wheel structural parameters, thermal conductivity parameters, lubricant physical parameters, and surface topography matrix of the target spiral bevel gear. The surface topography matrix is ​​a matrix obtained by measuring the tooth surface contact area of ​​the target spiral bevel gear using a white light interferometer and converting it into two dimensions. It is used to characterize the surface roughness of the tooth surface contact area of ​​the target spiral bevel gear.

[0026] Furthermore, the structural parameters of the large and small wheels specifically include: axis intersection angle, large end face module, number of teeth, tooth width, midpoint helix angle, outer cone pitch, sub-cone angle, root cone angle, face cone angle, tooth top height and tooth root height; the thermal conductivity parameters specifically include: Poisson's ratio, density, thermal conductivity coefficient and specific heat coefficient; the physical parameters of the lubricating oil specifically include: viscosity, density, viscosity-pressure coefficient, viscosity-temperature coefficient, thermal conductivity coefficient, specific heat coefficient and ambient temperature.

[0027] In actual application, taking a pair of spiral bevel gears as an example, the large gear rotates right and the small gear rotates left, the overlap is 2.83, and the input speed of the small gear is 5000r / min. The structural parameters, thermal conductivity parameters, and physical parameters of the lubricating oil of the target spiral bevel gears are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

[0034] Further, if Figure 5 As shown in FIG, the process of obtaining the surface topography matrix is ​​as follows: a white light interferometer is used to measure the tooth surface contact area of ​​the target spiral bevel gear to obtain initial topography data; the initial topography data is three-dimensional data; the initial topography data is converted into two dimensions to obtain a surface topography matrix; the surface topography matrix is ​​two-dimensional data.

[0035] In actual application, white light interferometry is used to measure the surface morphology of grinding, turning, milling and polishing disc specimens (the material is 9310 steel), and 129×129 node data are extracted and expressed as z(x, y).

[0036] S2. Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown in the figure, based on the structural parameters of the large and small wheels, thermal conductivity parameters and physical parameters of the lubricating oil of the target spiral bevel gear, the gear dynamics algorithm is used to calculate the changes of the tooth surface curvature radius, the magnitude and direction of the entrainment velocity, and the major and minor axes of the contact ellipse during the process from engagement to engagement. The change sequence of the tooth surface curvature radius, the change sequence of the magnitude and direction of the entrainment velocity, and the change sequence of the major and minor axes of the contact ellipse are obtained.

[0037] Furthermore, the gear dynamics algorithm includes at least: a tooth surface contact analysis algorithm.

[0038] In actual application, the tooth surface curvature radius change sequence, the entrainment velocity magnitude and direction change sequence, and the contact ellipse major and minor axis change sequence are used as dynamic parameters of the gear meshing process, providing key boundary conditions for constructing a multi-physics field coupled thermal-elastic-hydrodynamic mixed lubrication model.

[0039] S3. Based on the tooth surface curvature radius change sequence, the entrainment velocity magnitude and direction change sequence, the contact ellipse major and minor axis change sequence and the surface morphology matrix, a multi-physics field coupled thermal elastohydrodynamic mixed lubrication model is used to perform a mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis on the target involute bevel gear to obtain the elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristic parameters of the target involute bevel gear; the elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristic parameters include at least: oil film pressure, film thickness and temperature distribution in the tooth surface contact area.

[0040] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, step S3 specifically includes the following steps.

[0041] S31. Input the tooth surface curvature radius change sequence, the entrainment velocity magnitude and direction change sequence, the contact ellipse major and minor axis change sequence and the surface morphology matrix into the multi-physics field coupled thermal-elastic-hydrodynamic mixed lubrication model.

[0042] S32. The multi-grid method is used to solve the multi-physics field coupled thermal-elastic-hydrodynamic mixed lubrication model to obtain the elastic deformation of the target spiral bevel gear.

[0043] Furthermore, the calculation formula of elastic deformation is as follows.

[0044]

[0045] Where v(x,y) represents the elastic deformation of the target point (x,y); E' represents the combined elastic modulus of the upper and lower contact surfaces; p(x',y') represents the pressure at the action point (x',y'); and Ω represents the elliptical contact area.

[0046] S33. The oil film pressure and film thickness of the multi-physics field coupled thermal-elastic-hydrodynamic mixed lubrication model are iteratively solved by the progressive mesh encryption method to obtain the oil film pressure and film thickness of the target spiral bevel gear.

[0047] Furthermore, the solution process of the oil film pressure is as follows.

[0048] The Gauss-Seidel and Jacobi dipole iteration methods are used to numerically solve the oil film pressure to obtain the oil film pressure; among them, the Gauss-Seidel iteration method is used in the low pressure area; the Jacobi dipole iteration method is used in the high pressure area.

[0049] Furthermore, the calculation formula for the target film thickness of the spiral bevel gear is as follows.

[0050]

[0051] Where h is the film thickness of the tooth surface contact area of ​​the target spiral bevel gear, h0 represents the film thickness at the center of the rigid body, R x 、R y They represent the comprehensive curvature radius in the x and y directions respectively, v(x, y) represents the elastic deformation, and z(x, y) is the surface topography matrix.

[0052] S34. Based on the oil film pressure and film thickness, a coupled iterative method is used to solve the energy equation to obtain the temperature distribution.

[0053] Furthermore, the solution process of temperature distribution is as follows.

[0054] Based on the oil film pressure and film thickness, the viscosity and density are determined using the oil film flow velocity equation (velocity field), viscosity-pressure-temperature equation, and density-pressure-temperature equation. The temperature field is obtained by solving the energy equation based on the viscosity and density. The oil film pressure and film thickness are re-iteratively calculated based on the temperature field until the pressure and temperature converge, and finally the temperature distribution is obtained in a self-consistent manner.

[0055] like Figure 7-10 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that due to the discontinuous cutting process and the continuous changes in cutting layer parameters, the lubrication characteristics of the milling surface are relatively poor, the maximum pressure is as high as about 3GPa, and the maximum temperature is as high as about 300℃, which makes it easy to fail.

[0056] In practical applications, the solution of oil film pressure, oil film thickness, and oil film energy in elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory is strongly coupled: the Reynolds equation takes the oil film thickness h and the lubricant physical properties η and ρ as inputs, and outputs the oil film pressure p. The oil film pressure p modifies the oil film thickness h via the elastic deformation v(x,y) equation. The pressure p and thickness h jointly determine the velocity field (the oil film velocity equation) and the viscosity and density fields (the viscosity-pressure-temperature equation and the density-pressure-temperature equation), thereby controlling the dissipation and storage of oil film energy (the oil film energy equation). Temperature changes caused by energy dissipation alter the viscosity η and density ρ, negatively affecting the calculation of the Reynolds equation and elastic deformation.

[0057] In this embodiment, the formulas of the equations are as follows.

[0058] 1) Reynolds equation is as follows.

[0059]

[0060] Wherein, the positive directions of the x-axis and y-axis respectively represent the minor and major axes that form acute angles with the entrainment velocity at the meshing point, ρ is the lubricating oil density, h is the film thickness, p is the pressure, η is the lubricating oil viscosity, u and v represent the entrainment velocities of the lubricating oil along the major and minor axes of the contact ellipse, respectively, and t represents the single tooth meshing time of the spiral bevel gear.

[0061] 2) The viscosity-pressure-temperature equation is as follows.

[0062]

[0063] Where η0 is the viscosity of the lubricating oil at normal pressure, T0 is the initial temperature, and Z and S are both calculation indices.

[0064] 3) The density-pressure-temperature equation is as follows.

[0065]

[0066] Where ρ0 is the initial density, D = 0.0007K -1 .

[0067] 4) The load balance equation is as follows.

[0068]

[0069] Where Q is the applied external load, that is, the load at the gear meshing point.

[0070] 5) The oil film flow velocity equation is as follows.

[0071] The entrainment velocity of the lubricating oil along the major and minor axis directions is as follows.

[0072]

[0073] Where u1 and u2 are the velocities of the solid along the x-direction, and v1 is the velocity of the solid along the y-direction.

[0074] The velocity gradients of the lubricating oil along the major and minor axes are as follows.

[0075]

[0076] 6) The oil film energy equation is as follows.

[0077]

[0078] Where, c p is the heat transfer coefficient, k is the specific heat coefficient, and T is the oil film temperature.

[0079] The technical effects of this application are as follows.

[0080] 1) This application integrates numerical simulations with measured surface topography data to construct a multi-physics coupled model for hybrid elastohydrodynamic lubrication of spiral bevel gears based on realistic roughness characteristics. Compared to traditional single numerical simulation methods, this model dynamically correlates texture characteristics with lubrication behavior, accurately characterizing the differential effects of surface topography generated by different processes, such as grinding and milling, on oil film pressure fluctuations, temperature gradients, and necking effects.

[0081] 2) To address the complex meshing characteristics of spiral bevel gears, a coupled thermal-elastic-hydrodynamic solution based on progressive mesh refinement and multi-directional stress transfer was proposed. Combined with white-light interferometric 3D topography reconstruction, this approach overcomes the challenge of oil film temperature hysteresis on realistically rough surfaces. This approach transcends the traditional elastohydrodynamic lubrication model's reliance on ideally smooth surfaces and establishes a mapping system between machining parameters, surface topography, and lubrication performance indicators. This provides key technical support for high-precision gear surface integrity design and lubrication optimization, filling a gap in the research on complex gear lubrication mechanisms.
