Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gear life prediction technology, and more specifically, to a method for predicting the life of trolley main reducer gears based on the CLTC-P operating condition. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles, the trolley main reducer, as a key component of the drive system, is subjected to constantly changing loads and stresses. In the design and use of trolley main reducers, gear fatigue life prediction has become one of the core technologies to ensure their reliability and safety.

[0003] Currently, traditional gear life prediction methods are typically based on simplified experimental data or static condition analysis, failing to fully consider the dynamic changes in operating conditions experienced by trolleybuses during actual operation. This leads to significant discrepancies between predicted results and actual conditions. Therefore, accurately predicting gear life based on actual vehicle operating conditions has become a crucial issue in current research and engineering applications. Furthermore, the fatigue life of trolleybus main reducer gears is influenced by multiple factors, including vehicle operating conditions, gear contact stress, material properties, and load variations. Traditional fatigue life prediction methods often rely on simplified assumptions, such as constant load and linear material behavior, which cannot accurately reflect the dynamic changes of trolleybuses under different operating conditions. In addition, existing prediction methods typically lack comprehensive consideration of factors such as different speeds, accelerations, and resistance, making them ill-suited to the diversity of actual road conditions and driving behaviors. Therefore, improving the accuracy of fatigue life prediction methods is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent a prediction technology for the life of the main reducer gears of trolley vehicles, in order to solve the problem that the existing technology cannot accurately reflect the dynamic operating conditions of trolley vehicles during actual operation, resulting in poor accuracy in predicting the life of the main reducer gears. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for predicting the life of the main reducer gears of a trolley based on the CLTC-P operating condition, aiming to solve the problem that the current technology cannot accurately reflect the dynamic operating condition changes of the trolley during actual operation, resulting in poor accuracy in predicting the life of the main reducer gears.

[0009] Based on the growth curve method, load spectrum statistics were performed on the time change history of contact stress to obtain the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear.

[0010] Based on the Goodman linear life correction method, the stress with non-zero average value in the cycle frequency corresponding to each stress amplitude is transformed into equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress. Based on the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude and the equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress, a stress amplitude frequency spectrum is established.

[0053] Furthermore, based on the growth curve method, load spectrum statistics are performed on the time variation history of contact stress to obtain the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude between the first-stage and second-stage gears, including:

[0054] Extreme value analysis is performed on the contact stress-time series within a preset time period, and all stress peaks and valleys are identified to form a complete stress cycle unit;

[0055] Obtain the stress amplitude and average stress of each stress cycle unit, and classify the stress amplitude according to the preset stress level range to establish a 16-level stress amplitude level classification standard;

[0056] The number of cycles corresponding to each stress level is counted to generate the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear.

[0057] Furthermore, when determining the predicted fatigue life of the main reducer gear based on the linear fatigue cumulative damage theory, stress amplitude frequency spectrum, and SN curve, the following are included:

[0058] Obtain the SN curve corresponding to the gear material of the main reducer. Based on the stress amplitude frequency spectrum and equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress, determine the fatigue life of the gear, where:

[0074] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By introducing vehicle driving parameters and speed-time series under the CLTC-P condition, the dynamic operating conditions of the tram in actual operation are fully considered. This method can accurately simulate the operating state of the tram under different conditions, such as low-speed, medium-speed, high-speed, and idling ranges, solving the problem of neglecting actual road condition changes common in traditional methods. Through these dynamic data, the changes in gear contact stress during actual driving can be simulated more accurately, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of gear life prediction. In addition, this invention uses the growth curve method to perform load spectrum statistics on the time change history of contact stress and analyzes it based on the cycle number distribution of different stress amplitudes. This method can make more detailed predictions of gear fatigue life based on stress amplitude, avoiding the overly simplified stress distribution assumptions in traditional methods. By establishing a stress amplitude frequency spectrum and combining it with the Goodman linear life correction method, the asymmetric stress in actual operation can be transformed into symmetric stress, thereby further improving the accuracy of life prediction. In terms of materials, this invention uses the effective stress concentration factor, size factor, surface finish factor, and dispersion factor of 20CrMnTi steel material, combined with SN curves for fatigue life prediction. By precisely considering these material parameters, the fatigue characteristics of gears under actual working conditions can be reflected. This allows the method to not only cope with various complex working conditions but also better adapt to the variations in gear materials of different tram main reducers. Finally, this invention combines the linear fatigue cumulative damage method and stress amplitude frequency spectrum to provide a comprehensive analytical tool for predicting gear fatigue life. By analyzing the cumulative damage of each stress cycle, the damage accumulation process of gears under long-term operation can be assessed, thereby predicting their fatigue life. This method not only has high prediction accuracy but also provides a scientific basis for tram maintenance and repair planning, extending equipment service life and reducing maintenance costs.

[0082] like Figure 1-5 As shown in some embodiments of this application, this embodiment provides a method for predicting the life of the main reducer gears of a trolleybus based on the CLTC-P (China Light Vehicle Driving Cycle-Passenger Car) operating condition, including:

[0083] Step S100: Obtain the vehicle parameters of CLTC-P and the speed-time series of CLTC-P under various road conditions.

[0084] Specifically, acquiring the vehicle parameters of CLTC-P and its speed-time series under various road conditions includes: discretely sampling the standard speed-time curve of CLTC-P based on a preset sampling time interval to obtain a set of discrete speed-time points; performing preliminary smoothing processing on the discrete sampling points based on a dynamic noise adaptive filtering algorithm to reduce the influence of measurement noise and abrupt changes; interpolating the set of discrete speed-time points using a multi-resolution linear interpolation method to generate a high-precision continuous speed-time curve; and denoising the interpolated speed-time curve and introducing an adaptive threshold filter. The wave method balances noise suppression and signal fidelity, while unifying the time step of the denoised speed-time curve. Based on the CLTC-P working condition definition and intelligent clustering algorithm, the processed speed-time curve is segmented into low-speed, medium-speed, high-speed, and idling ranges. Abnormal acceleration and deceleration segments are automatically identified, and speed-time series are established for each road condition. The working condition prediction module based on machine learning predicts future working condition change trends based on historical speed-time series characteristics and dynamically corrects the generated speed-time series to enhance the adaptability of the series to actual driving behavior and the prediction accuracy.

[0085] Understandably, by discretely sampling the CLTC-P standard speed-time curve based on a preset sampling time interval, a set of discrete speed-time points is obtained, establishing the basic data framework for vehicle speed. To reduce the impact of measurement noise and abrupt changes, a dynamic noise adaptive filtering algorithm is introduced to initially smooth the discrete sampling points, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the speed signal. Subsequently, a multi-resolution linear interpolation method is used to interpolate the set of discrete speed-time points, generating a high-precision continuous speed curve to obtain finer-grained speed information, providing accurate input for subsequent operating condition analysis. Secondly, to further enhance the reliability of the signal, the interpolated speed-time curve is denoised, and an adaptive threshold filtering method is used to balance noise suppression and signal fidelity, while unifying the time step after denoising to ensure the standardization and consistency of data processing. Based on this, combined with the CLTC-P operating condition definition and intelligent clustering algorithm, the speed curve is segmented into low-speed, medium-speed, high-speed, and idle speed ranges, and abnormal acceleration / deceleration segments are automatically identified, realizing the extraction of operating condition features and structured representation of speed data. Finally, by introducing a machine learning-based operating condition prediction module, historical speed-time series features are used to predict future operating condition trends, and the generated speed-time series is dynamically corrected, thereby enhancing the series' adaptability to actual driving behavior and its prediction accuracy. This process enables the speed-time series not only to reflect the current driving state of the vehicle but also to make reasonable predictions about future operating conditions, providing accurate and reliable input data for subsequent torque calculations and gear fatigue life predictions.

[0086] As can be seen, the discrete point set of speed-time is obtained by discretely sampling the CLTC-P standard speed-time curve based on a preset sampling time interval. Secondly, a dynamic noise adaptive filtering algorithm is introduced into the discrete point set for preliminary smoothing to reduce measurement noise and the influence of abrupt changes. Simultaneously, a multi-resolution linear interpolation method is used to interpolate the smoothed speed point set, generating a high-precision continuous speed curve. The interpolated speed curve is further denoised, and an adaptive threshold filtering method is used to balance noise suppression and signal fidelity, while unifying the time step. Based on the CLTC-P operating condition definition and intelligent clustering algorithm, the processed speed curve is segmented into low-speed, medium-speed, high-speed, and idle speed ranges, and abnormal acceleration / deceleration segments are automatically identified. Finally, a machine learning-based operating condition prediction module is introduced to predict future operating condition changes based on historical speed-time series characteristics and dynamically correct the generated sequence. Details are shown in Table 1.

[0087] Table 1. Examples of velocity-time series processing

[0088]

[0089] Based on Table 1 above, it can be seen that, firstly, the CLTC-P standard speed-time curve is discretely sampled based on a preset sampling time interval to obtain a discrete set of speed-time points. To reduce the influence of measurement noise and abrupt changes, a dynamic noise adaptive filtering algorithm is introduced to perform preliminary smoothing of the discrete sampling points, ensuring the continuity and stability of the speed signal. Secondly, the speed-time discrete point set after preliminary smoothing is interpolated using a multi-resolution linear interpolation method to generate a high-precision continuous speed curve, thereby obtaining finer-grained speed information and providing accurate input for subsequent operating condition analysis. Thirdly, the interpolated speed-time curve is further denoised, and an adaptive threshold filtering method is used to balance noise suppression and signal fidelity. Simultaneously, the time step of the denoised speed-time curve is standardized to ensure the standardization and consistency of data processing. Furthermore, combining the CLTC-P operating condition definition and intelligent clustering algorithm, the processed speed-time curve is segmented into low-speed, medium-speed, high-speed, and idle speed ranges, while automatically identifying abnormal acceleration and deceleration segments, realizing the extraction of operating condition features and structured representation of speed data. Finally, the machine learning-based operating condition prediction module uses historical speed-time series features to predict future operating condition trends and dynamically corrects the generated speed-time series, thereby enhancing the series' adaptability to actual driving behavior and improving prediction accuracy. The speed-time series generated through these steps not only reflects the current vehicle driving state but also provides reasonable estimates of future operating conditions, offering accurate and reliable input data for subsequent calculations of the main reducer's input torque and gear fatigue life prediction.

[0090] Step S200: Based on the vehicle driving resistance balance equation, vehicle parameters and speed-time series, determine the torque history of the main reducer input during the preset time period, and determine the change history of the contact stress between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear of the main reducer during the preset time period according to the torque history during the preset time period and the gear contact strength verification method.

[0091] Specifically, when determining the torque history of the main reducer input during a preset time period based on the vehicle driving resistance balance equation, vehicle parameters, and speed-time series, the process includes: establishing a vehicle driving resistance balance equation based on vehicle dynamics, and dynamically correcting the rolling resistance coefficient and air resistance coefficient based on an adjustable resistance coefficient model; obtaining the vehicle acceleration at each moment based on the speed-time series under various road conditions using an adaptive high-order numerical differential method, and correcting the acceleration peak value using filtering; determining the total driving resistance at each moment based on vehicle parameters, rolling resistance coefficient, air resistance coefficient, frontal area, wheel rolling radius, and road slope angle, and correcting the total driving resistance value based on temperature, wind speed, and road surface friction coefficient using an environmental factor compensation module; determining the input torque at the main reducer input at each moment based on the total driving resistance, wheel rolling radius, main reduction ratio, and transmission efficiency, and generating a dataset of torque changes over time based on an adaptive smoothing algorithm; and obtaining the input torque history for the corresponding time period from the torque dataset based on the preset time period, and dynamically correcting the future torque change trend based on a machine learning prediction module.

[0092] Specifically, when determining the input torque at the input end of the main reducer at each moment based on the total driving resistance, wheel rolling radius, main reduction ratio, and transmission efficiency, the following steps are taken: obtaining the rolling resistance, air resistance, slope resistance, and acceleration resistance of the vehicle at each moment, and determining the total driving resistance of the vehicle at each moment based on the rolling resistance, air resistance, slope resistance, and acceleration resistance of the vehicle at each moment; obtaining the torque acting on the wheel side at each moment based on the total driving resistance and the wheel rolling radius of the vehicle at each moment; and obtaining the input torque Tt at the input end of the main reducer at each moment based on the relationship between the torque acting on the wheel side at each moment and the main reduction ratio and transmission efficiency, and based on formula (1):

[0093] (1)

[0094] in, Zt Let be the total driving resistance between different times, r be the wheel rolling radius, io be the principal reduction ratio, and η be the transmission efficiency.

[0095] Understandably, establishing a driving resistance balance equation based on vehicle dynamics and dynamically correcting the rolling resistance and air resistance coefficients using an adjustable resistance coefficient model allows the calculated driving resistance to more accurately reflect the impact of actual road conditions and environmental changes on vehicle resistance. For example, in congested urban traffic scenarios, frequent starts and stops lead to significant changes in rolling resistance and air resistance. The adjustable resistance coefficient model can dynamically adjust the resistance coefficient based on vehicle speed and acceleration, making the resistance calculation closer to actual conditions. Simultaneously, for speed-time series under different road conditions, an adaptive high-order numerical differential method is used to obtain vehicle acceleration, and peak values ​​are corrected through filtering, ensuring the stability and accuracy of acceleration calculations and avoiding the impact of errors caused by sudden acceleration and deceleration on subsequent torque calculations. Furthermore, this method combines vehicle parameters, resistance coefficients, frontal area, wheel rolling radius, and road slope angle to calculate the total driving resistance at each moment. An environmental factor compensation module is introduced to correct the total driving resistance based on temperature, wind speed, and road surface friction coefficient, ensuring that the resistance calculation fully considers the impact of the external environment on vehicle dynamics. For example, in mountainous or steep road scenarios, changes in gradient significantly impact driving resistance. The environmental factor compensation module can correct vehicle resistance in real time to ensure that the calculated torque history matches actual operating conditions. By combining the total driving resistance at each moment with wheel parameters, final drive ratio, and transmission efficiency, the torque acting on the input end of the final drive can be accurately obtained, providing a reliable basis for the vehicle's power output under different operating conditions. Furthermore, after generating a dataset of input torque variations over time, this method further employs an adaptive smoothing algorithm to process the torque curve, eliminating potential instantaneous disturbances. Simultaneously, a machine learning prediction module dynamically corrects future torque change trends. For instance, in continuous acceleration scenarios on highways, the machine learning module can predict short-term torque fluctuations based on historical speed-time series, correcting the calculated torque history to better reflect actual driving behavior. This process ensures that the final drive input torque history not only accurately reflects the current vehicle operating conditions but also predicts future torque changes, providing reliable and dynamically adjustable input data for subsequent gear contact stress analysis and fatigue life assessment, thereby improving the accuracy and adaptability of gear life prediction.

[0096] It can be seen that a vehicle driving resistance balance equation is established based on vehicle dynamics, and the rolling resistance coefficient and air resistance coefficient are dynamically corrected based on an adjustable resistance coefficient model to adapt to changes in different road and environmental conditions. For example, rolling resistance dominates when driving at low speeds on urban roads, while air resistance dominates when cruising at a constant speed on highways. Secondly, based on the speed-time series of different road segments under the CLTC-P condition, an adaptive high-order numerical differential method is used to obtain the vehicle acceleration at each moment, and a filtering algorithm is used to correct peak values, suppressing abnormal fluctuations in acceleration values ​​and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of acceleration data. For example, in urban road conditions with frequent starts and stops at traffic lights, calculation errors caused by instantaneous acceleration and deceleration can be effectively avoided. Thirdly, by combining vehicle parameters, rolling resistance coefficient, air resistance coefficient, frontal area, wheel rolling radius, and road slope angle, the total driving resistance at each moment is determined, and the environmental factor compensation module corrects for temperature, wind speed, and road surface friction coefficient. For example, in mountainous steep slope road conditions, the total driving resistance will increase due to the increased slope, and the compensation module dynamically adjusts the resistance calculation. Then, based on the total driving resistance, wheel rolling radius, main reduction ratio, and transmission efficiency at each moment, the torque value at the input end of the main reducer at each moment is calculated, and a dataset of torque changing over time is generated through an adaptive smoothing algorithm to reduce the impact of transient disturbances. The future torque change trend is dynamically corrected through a machine learning prediction module, so that the generated torque history can more realistically reflect the torque demand of the vehicle under different road conditions and driving behaviors. For example, Table 2. Finally, based on the input torque history obtained by formula (1), combined with the gear contact strength verification method, the contact stress change history between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear of the main reducer during a preset period is further determined, providing data input for gear fatigue life prediction.

[0099] Step S300: Based on the growth curve method, perform load spectrum statistics on the time change history of contact stress to obtain the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear.

[0100] Specifically, based on the torque history of the preset time period and the gear contact strength verification method, when determining the change history of the contact stress between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear of the main reducer within the preset time period, the following steps are taken: based on the total driving resistance and gear geometric parameters at each moment, and based on formula (2), the dynamic circumferential force on the pitch circle is determined:

[0101] (2)

[0102] in, FtThe dynamic circumferential force on the pitch circle is given by d, where d is the pitch circle diameter of the pinion. Based on the end face pressure angle between the first-stage and second-stage gears, the helix angle of the base cylinder, and formula (3), the node region coefficient between the first-stage and second-stage gears is obtained.

[0103] (3)

[0104] in Z H This is the node region coefficient between the first-stage and second-stage gears. α t The end face pressure angle, β b Based on the helix angle of the base cylinder, The end face meshing angle is given; based on the elastic modulus of the first gear material, the elastic modulus of the second gear material, the Poisson's ratio of the first gear and the Poisson's ratio of the second gear, and formula (4), the material elastic coefficient between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear is determined:

[0105] (4)

[0106] in, Z E The elastic modulus of the material between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear. E 1 Let be the elastic modulus of the gear material of the first gear. E 2 The elastic modulus of the gear material for the second gear. v 1 Let the Poisson's ratio be the first gear. v 2 Let be the Poisson's ratio of the second gear; based on the end face overlap and longitudinal overlap between the first and second gears and formula (5), determine the overlap ratio and helix angle coefficient between the first and second gears:

[0107] (5)

[0108] in, Z εβ This refers to the overlap ratio and helix angle coefficient between the first-stage and second-stage gears. ε α The overlap ratio of the end faces between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear. ε β This refers to the longitudinal overlap between the first-stage and second-stage gears. βThe helix angle of the pinion is given. Based on the dynamic circumferential force on the pitch circle, the node region coefficient between the first and second gears, the material elastic coefficient, and the overlap ratio and helix angle coefficient, the instantaneous contact stress between the first and second gears is determined. Based on the instantaneous contact stress between the first and second gears of the main reducer within a preset time period, the variation history of the contact stress between the first and second gears within the preset time period is generated.

[0109] Specifically, obtaining the pitch circle diameter of the pinion includes: obtaining the normal module, helix angle, and number of teeth of the pinion, and obtaining the pitch circle diameter of the pinion based on the normal module, helix angle, and number of teeth of the first-stage gear and formula (6):

[0110] (6)

[0111] in, m n Let be the normal module of the pinion. β The helix angle of the pinion. z This refers to the number of teeth.

[0112] Specifically, when determining the instantaneous contact stress between the first and second gears based on the dynamic circumferential force on the pitch circle, the node region coefficient between the first and second gears, the material elastic coefficient, the overlap ratio and helix angle coefficient, and formula (7), the following are included:

[0113] (7)

[0114] in, σH The instantaneous contact stress between the first-stage gear and the second-stage gear. b The tooth widths of the first and second gears. K A For the use factor, K v This is the dynamic load factor. K Hβ The tooth load distribution factor is the tooth direction load distribution factor. K Hα This is the inter-tooth load distribution coefficient.

[0115] Specifically, when performing load spectrum statistics on the time variation history of contact stress based on the growth curve method to obtain the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude between the first-stage and second-stage gears, the process includes: performing extreme value analysis on the contact stress-time series within a preset time period and identifying all stress peaks and valleys to form a complete stress cycle unit; obtaining the stress amplitude and average stress of each stress cycle unit, and classifying the stress amplitude according to a preset stress level range to establish a 16-level stress amplitude level classification standard; and counting the number of cycles corresponding to each stress level to generate the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude between the first-stage and second-stage gears.

[0116] Understandably, the dynamic circumferential force between the first and second gears of the main reducer is calculated based on the relationship between vehicle driving resistance and gear geometry. By combining the vehicle's driving resistance with the gear's geometry (such as the pitch circle diameter), the dynamic force acting on the gear can be obtained. This force is a key factor affecting gear contact stress because it directly determines the stress on the gear under actual operating conditions. The dynamic circumferential force reflects the vehicle's loading on the gear under different operating conditions, further affecting the change process of gear contact stress. Next, the node region coefficient is obtained through the gear's end face pressure angle and base cylinder helix angle. The node region coefficient reflects the change in the gear contact area, which is crucial for accurately calculating the contact stress between gears. The end face pressure angle and helix angle are important parameters determining the shape of the gear contact surface and load distribution, and the node region coefficient further affects the magnitude and distribution of gear contact stress. Therefore, by correctly calculating this coefficient, the mechanical properties of the gear contact surface can be described more accurately. Then, the material elastic coefficient between the gears is determined through the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the gear material. The elastic characteristics of the gear determine the degree of material deformation during the stress process. The elastic modulus reflects a material's resistance to deformation, while Poisson's ratio characterizes the lateral and longitudinal deformation relationship of a material under stress. Combining these two factors allows for the calculation of the material elastic coefficients between gears, which is crucial for calculating gear contact stress, as contact stress is closely related to the elastic properties of the gear material. Furthermore, the contact ratio and helix angle coefficient between gears are determined based on their overlap ratio and helix angle coefficient. These two coefficients are two important factors affecting gear contact. The overlap ratio affects the contact range between gear tooth surfaces, while the helix angle coefficient determines the slope of the gear contact surface and the load distribution. Accurate calculation of these two coefficients allows for a more precise description of the mechanical characteristics of gear contact, thus providing more accurate parameters for calculating contact stress. Subsequently, by comprehensively considering dynamic circumferential force, node region coefficient, material elastic coefficient, and contact ratio and helix angle coefficient, the instantaneous contact stress between the gears of the main reducer is calculated. This process calculates instantaneous contact stress by combining multiple factors, including gear geometry, material properties, and operating conditions. This comprehensive approach allows for an accurate description of the instantaneous stress changes experienced by the gear during operation, providing the necessary data foundation for subsequent fatigue life analysis. Finally, by statistically analyzing the load spectrum of the contact stress over time using the growth curve method, the stress amplitude and cycle frequency distribution of the gear are obtained. The growth curve method can be used to statistically analyze the extreme values ​​during stress changes, thereby analyzing the frequency of occurrence of each stress amplitude. Based on this, a stress amplitude level classification standard is established through stress amplitude grading, and the number of cycles for each level is statistically analyzed.This process helps to generate a detailed load spectrum, providing stress amplitude and cycle frequency distribution data for subsequent fatigue analysis, thereby further predicting the fatigue life of the gear.

[0117] Step S400: Based on the Goodman linear life correction method, the stress with non-zero average value in the cycle frequency corresponding to each stress amplitude is converted into equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress, and a stress amplitude frequency spectrum is established based on the cycle frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude and the equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress.

[0118] Specifically, this method transforms non-zero average stress into equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress. In actual operating conditions, the stress amplitude of gears often includes both zero-mean and non-zero-mean values, while fatigue life prediction is usually based on the analysis of symmetrical cyclic stress. The Goodman correction method corrects the non-zero average stress, transforming it into equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress, thus converting asymmetric stress into symmetrical stress for subsequent fatigue life assessment. Next, a stress amplitude frequency spectrum is established by combining the cyclic frequency distribution corresponding to each stress amplitude with the equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress. This process involves statistically analyzing different levels of stress amplitude and their frequencies, and combining this with the equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress to form a spectrum reflecting the stress distribution. This spectrum provides the distribution of different stress amplitudes at different cycle numbers, thus providing more accurate input data for subsequent fatigue analysis. Through this spectrum, the main stress cycle patterns and their corresponding frequencies can be identified, providing crucial information for fatigue damage accumulation models. Finally, based on the established stress amplitude frequency spectrum, fatigue damage analysis methods (such as the Miner linear cumulative damage method) can be further applied to assess the fatigue life of the gear. This frequency spectrum provides fundamental data for assessing the cumulative damage of gears under different stress amplitudes, thus making fatigue life prediction more accurate and reliable. By combining the stress amplitude frequency spectrum with the SN curve, the fatigue life of gears can be accurately predicted based on their stress history in actual use, providing a scientific basis for gear design and maintenance.

[0119] Understandably, the application of the Goodman linear life correction method effectively transforms non-zero average stress into equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress. In actual working conditions, gears are often subjected to asymmetrical stress loading, and traditional fatigue life prediction methods struggle to accurately handle such complex stress situations. The Goodman correction method, by standardizing the stress state, allows asymmetrical stress to be transformed into symmetrical stress, ensuring the reliability of stress analysis and providing a unified computational basis for subsequent fatigue damage assessment. Secondly, by combining the cyclic frequency distribution of each stress amplitude with the equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress, a stress amplitude frequency spectrum is established. This spectrum provides a detailed distribution of stress amplitude and its frequency of occurrence, offering more accurate data support for fatigue life prediction. Through this distribution, common stress cycling patterns in gear operation can be accurately captured, and the gear's stress condition can be analyzed at different frequencies, helping to identify potential fatigue failure risks and improve prediction accuracy. Finally, based on the established stress amplitude frequency spectrum, combined with fatigue damage analysis methods (such as the Miner linear cumulative damage method), the fatigue life of gears can be assessed more scientifically. This allows fatigue life prediction to move beyond simplistic assumptions and instead be based on stress cycles under real-world conditions, providing more accurate fatigue damage analysis results. Furthermore, by incorporating SN curves, key factors influencing fatigue life can be identified early in gear design and maintenance, optimizing design schemes and improving gear reliability, ultimately reducing gear failure rates and maintenance costs.

[0120] Step S500: Based on the effective stress concentration factor, size factor, surface finish factor and dispersion factor of 20CrMnTi steel material, obtain the SN curve corresponding to the gear of the main reducer.

[0121] Specifically, the stress concentration factor (SN) curve of the gear is corrected by using the effective stress concentration factor, size factor, surface finish factor, and dispersion factor of 20CrMnTi steel. These correction factors quantify the impact on fatigue performance based on the actual physical properties and processing characteristics of the gear material. These factors allow for a more accurate consideration of the effects of stress concentration, dimensional differences, surface treatment, and material dispersion on fatigue life under different operating conditions, resulting in a more realistic SN curve. Secondly, the SN curve is a graph describing the relationship between material fatigue life and stress amplitude. By combining the above correction factors, the SN curve can more accurately reflect the fatigue behavior of 20CrMnTi steel under actual working conditions. These factors supplement the influence of local stress concentration, which is ignored by the standard SN curve, making the fatigue life prediction closer to actual working conditions and material properties. Each factor considers the influence of internal and surface conditions on fatigue strength; for example, stress concentration usually leads to a decrease in material load-bearing capacity, while surface treatment processes can improve the fatigue resistance of the gear. Finally, using these corrected SN curves for fatigue life prediction allows for more accurate and reliable gear design. By correcting the SN curve of 20CrMnTi steel, the fatigue life of gears under different operating conditions can be predicted more accurately, providing a scientific basis for gear reliability design. Considering the influence of materials and processing technology, gear design can be optimized in terms of fatigue resistance, thereby improving gear service life and reducing maintenance costs.

[0122] Step S600: Based on the linear fatigue cumulative damage theory, stress amplitude frequency spectrum and SN curve, determine the fatigue life prediction result of the main reducer gear.

[0123] Specifically, when determining the predicted fatigue life of the main reducer gear based on the linear fatigue cumulative damage theory, stress amplitude frequency spectrum, and SN curve, the following steps are taken: obtaining the SN curve corresponding to the main reducer gear material, and determining the fatigue life of the gear based on the stress amplitude frequency spectrum and equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress, wherein: the damage degree of the main reducer gear material is determined according to each stress amplitude and formula (8).

[0124] (8)

[0125] in, D i Damage degree of the main reducer gear material, n i N represents the number of cycles at the i-th stress amplitude. i Let be the lifespan under the i-th stress amplitude; based on the linear fatigue cumulative damage method, the damage degree of each stress amplitude is accumulated, and the total damage degree of the main reducer gear material is determined based on formula (9):

[0126] (9)

[0127] in, R The total damage degree of the main reducer gear material is determined. Based on the relationship between the total damage degree of the main reducer gear material and the preset total damage degree, it is determined whether the main reducer gear has reached its fatigue life: when the total damage degree of the main reducer gear material is higher than or equal to the preset total damage degree, the main reducer gear is determined to have reached its fatigue life; when the total damage degree of the main reducer gear material is lower than the preset total damage degree, the main reducer gear has not reached its fatigue life. The fatigue warning level of the main reducer gear is determined based on the damage degree difference between the total damage degree of the main reducer gear material and the preset total damage degree.

[0128] Specifically, when determining the fatigue warning level of the main reducer gear based on the damage difference between the total damage degree of the main reducer gear material and a preset total damage degree, the following steps are taken: The fatigue warning level of the main reducer gear is determined based on the relationship between the damage difference and a configured first and second preset damage difference: when the damage difference is lower than the first preset damage difference, the fatigue warning level of the main reducer gear is determined to be high-risk; when the damage difference is higher than or equal to the first preset damage difference and lower than the second preset damage difference, the fatigue warning level of the main reducer gear is determined to be medium-risk; when the damage difference is higher than or equal to the second preset damage difference, the fatigue warning level of the main reducer gear is determined to be low-risk; wherein, the first preset damage difference is less than the second preset damage difference.

[0129] Understandably, the combination of the linear fatigue cumulative damage method and the stress amplitude frequency spectrum with the SN curve is used to predict the fatigue life of the main reducer gear. The linear fatigue cumulative damage method assesses the fatigue damage of the gear material under long-term load by accumulating the damage degree under different stress amplitudes. For each stress amplitude, the corresponding number of cycles and life are calculated to obtain the damage degree at each stress amplitude. Then, by summing the damage degrees of all stress amplitudes, the total damage degree of the gear is obtained, providing a basis for further determining the fatigue life of the gear. Secondly, based on the analysis of the stress amplitude frequency spectrum and equivalent symmetrical cyclic stress, the fatigue life of the gear material can be effectively predicted. The stress amplitude frequency spectrum provides the frequency of occurrence of the gear at different stress amplitudes. Combined with the SN curve, the impact of each stress amplitude on the gear life can be accurately assessed. By calculating the damage degree corresponding to each stress amplitude, the linear fatigue cumulative damage method is used to accumulate the damage degrees of different stress amplitudes, thereby obtaining the overall fatigue damage state of the gear and further determining whether fatigue life has been reached. Then, by comparing with the preset total damage degree, it can be determined whether the gear has reached its fatigue life. When the total damage degree of a gear exceeds or equals a preset total damage degree, it indicates that the gear has reached its fatigue life and needs replacement or repair. Conversely, when the total damage degree is lower than the preset total damage degree, the gear is considered not to have reached its fatigue life, and the fatigue risk level is assessed using the damage degree difference. This process categorizes gear risks by setting different damage degree difference thresholds. Finally, the fatigue warning level of the gear is determined based on the relationship between the damage degree difference and the preset damage degree difference thresholds. Different preset damage degree difference values ​​help to more accurately assess the fatigue risk level of the gear. When the damage degree difference is small, below the first preset difference, the gear is at a high risk level; when the difference is between the two, the gear is at a medium risk level; and when the damage degree difference is large, exceeding the second preset difference, it is at a low risk level. This warning mechanism can predict the fatigue degree of gears in advance and take corresponding maintenance or replacement measures according to the risk level, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0130] In the above embodiments, by introducing vehicle driving parameters and speed-time series under the CLTC-P condition, the dynamic operating conditions of the tram in actual operation are fully considered. This method can accurately simulate the operating state of the tram under different conditions, such as low-speed, medium-speed, high-speed, and idling ranges, solving the problem of neglecting actual road condition changes common in traditional methods. Through these dynamic data, the changes in gear contact stress during actual driving can be simulated more accurately, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of gear life prediction. In addition, this invention uses the growth curve method to perform load spectrum statistics on the time change history of contact stress and analyzes it based on the cycle number distribution of different stress amplitudes. This method can make more detailed predictions of gear fatigue life based on stress amplitude, avoiding the overly simplified stress distribution assumptions in traditional methods. By establishing a stress amplitude frequency spectrum and combining it with the Goodman linear life correction method, the asymmetric stress in actual operation can be transformed into symmetric stress, thereby further improving the accuracy of life prediction. In terms of materials, this invention uses the effective stress concentration factor, size factor, surface finish factor, and dispersion factor of 20CrMnTi steel material, combined with SN curves for fatigue life prediction. By precisely considering these material parameters, the fatigue characteristics of gears under actual working conditions can be reflected. This allows the method to not only cope with various complex working conditions but also better adapt to the variations in gear materials of different tram main reducers. Finally, this invention combines the linear fatigue cumulative damage method and stress amplitude frequency spectrum to provide a comprehensive analytical tool for predicting gear fatigue life. By analyzing the cumulative damage of each stress cycle, the damage accumulation process of gears under long-term operation can be assessed, thereby predicting their fatigue life. This method not only has high prediction accuracy but also provides a scientific basis for tram maintenance and repair planning, extending equipment service life and reducing maintenance costs.
