DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The application will be further described below in connection with the drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the application and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the application.

[0019] As shown in the figure, the embodiment is based on the tooth forming grinding contact area temperature field calculation method of gear forming grinding heat generation mechanism of single abrasive grain, which includes the following steps. Figure 1

[0020] Step one: single abrasive grain cutting mechanism analysis and stage determination: based on the geometric contact relationship between abrasive grain and gear surface during forming grinding, the undeformed cutting thickness of each abrasive grain in the grinding contact area is calculated, and according to the comparison between the undeformed cutting thickness and the critical depth, the cutting stage of each abrasive grain is determined, which includes the scraping stage, the plowing stage and the cutting stage.

[0021] (1) undeformed cutting thickness During gear forming grinding, the material removal of gear surface is realized through the rotation of the grinding wheel spindle and the feed movement of the grinding wheel along the axial direction of the gear. However, due to the differences in the corresponding rotation radius, protrusion height and other factors of each abrasive grain, the trajectory of its cutting and removal will be more complex than that of plane grinding. For the whole grinding wheel, the grinding contact area with the gear is also more irregular, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 Since material removal only occurs in the contact area, it is necessary to calculate the contact length of each abrasive grain in the grinding area, that is, the contact arc length of each abrasive grain.

[0022] The contact arc length of abrasive grain can be represented as: Wherein: is the equivalent diameter of abrasive grain ; is the normal depth of cut of abrasive grain . Since the protrusion height of abrasive grain is randomly assigned by experimental measurement during the reshaping of grinding wheel, there is a height difference between abrasive grains. The actual normal depth of cut of each abrasive grain is not consistent, so the actual depth of cut of abrasive grain can be represented as: Wherein: is the protrusion height of abrasive grain ; is the maximum value of protrusion height among all abrasive grains of grinding wheel; is the normal depth of cut during forming grinding.

[0023] The equivalent diameter of abrasive grain ​​​ For: where: is the abrasive grain corresponding to the radius of the grinding wheel; is the abrasive grain corresponding to the rolling angle on the tooth surface; is half of the base circle pitch angle of the gear corresponding to the center angle, which can be expressed as: where: is the number of teeth; is the pressure angle.

[0024] By combining the above equations, the contact arc length can be expressed as: When the abrasive grain is located in the contact zone and the protrusion height is sufficient, it will participate in cutting. As shown in Figure 3 , the abrasive grain begins to participate in cutting at the cutting-in point, at which time the undeformed cutting thickness is 0. When reaching the cutting-out point, the undeformed cutting thickness will reach the maximum. The maximum undeformed cutting thickness of the abrasive grain is: where: is the number of cutting edges per unit area, which is measured by experiment; is the ratio of the width to the height of the chip; is the feed speed of the grinding wheel; is the linear speed of the abrasive grain , and: where: is the linear speed of the outermost periphery of the grinding wheel, which is set according to the processing requirements; is the radius of the outermost periphery of the grinding wheel; is the corresponding radius of the grinding wheel.

[0025] (2) Cutting stage judgment ​​Grinding consists of three stages: scraping, plowing, and cutting. During the scraping stage, the workpiece material undergoes only elastic deformation. During the plowing stage, the workpiece material undergoes elastoplastic deformation. Only during the cutting stage is the workpiece material removed. The different states of the workpiece material at each stage lead to different grinding force calculations and varying heat flux densities. The plowing stage occurs when the contact stress between the abrasive grain and the gear exceeds half the Brinell hardness of the material. The cutting stage occurs when the contact stress exceeds the Brinell hardness of the material.

[0026] Specifically, the critical depth for plowing and cutting. Represented as: Critical depth for scraping and plowing Represented as: in: The Brinell hardness of the workpiece material; This represents the equivalent elastic modulus of the grinding wheel and gear. abrasive grains Its prominent height; When the undeformed cutting thickness of the abrasive grains At that time, it is determined that the abrasive grains are in the scraping stage; When the undeformed cutting thickness of the abrasive grains At that time, it was determined that the abrasive particles were in the plowing stage; When the undeformed cutting thickness of the abrasive grains At that time, it is determined that the abrasive grains are in the cutting stage.

[0027] Step 2: Calculation of heat generation of abrasive grains at each stage: Based on the judgment results of Step 1, calculate the heat flux density generated by abrasive grains in the grinding contact area during the scraping stage, plowing stage and cutting stage respectively.

[0028] (1) Calculation of heat flux density during the scraping stage When the undeformed cutting thickness of the abrasive grains At this stage, the abrasive grains are in the scraping phase. During this time, the abrasive grains slide on the gear surface, causing elastic deformation of the surface material. The surface material will rebound after scraping ends, and no material is removed, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0029] When the abrasive grains are in the scraping stage, the abrasive grains The generated heat flux density Represented as: in: For scraping cutting power; This refers to the area of ​​the scratch contact zone; abrasive grains The contact radius with the gear; abrasive grains The tangential scraping force generated when in contact with the tooth surface; abrasive grains The linear velocity.

[0030] abrasive grains Contact radius with gear Represented as: in: abrasive grains The corresponding pressure angle.

[0031] abrasive grains Tangential scraping force generated when in contact with the tooth surface Represented as: in: abrasive grains Normal scraping force: This represents the coefficient of friction during the scraping phase.

[0032] Specifically, abrasive grains normal scraping force Represented as: in: Indicates abrasive grains The average stress generated on the contact tooth surface; Abrasive particles during the scraping stage The contact area with the gear.

[0033] (2) Calculation of heat flux density during plowing stage When the undeformed cutting thickness of the abrasive grains At this stage, the abrasive grains are in the plowing phase. During this time, the material on the gear surface undergoes plastic deformation under the pushing force of the abrasive grains, accumulating on both sides of the grains and the rake face. After the abrasive grains pass through, they leave scratches on the tooth surface, but no material is removed, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0034] When the abrasive grains are in the plowing stage, the abrasive grains The generated heat flux density Represented as: in: abrasive grains The tangential plowing force generated by contact with the tooth surface; This refers to the area of ​​the contact zone during the plowing stage.

[0035] abrasive particle tangential ploughing force generated by the contact with the tooth surface is expressed as: wherein: is the normal ploughing force of the abrasive particle . represents the scraping coefficient of the material.

[0036] abrasive particle normal ploughing force of the abrasive particle is expressed as: wherein: is the average stress suffered by the ploughing contact zone.

[0037] (3) Calculation of heat flux density in the cutting phase When the undeformed cutting thickness of the abrasive particle , the abrasive particle is in the cutting phase. Under the push of the abrasive particle, the tooth surface material will be plastically deformed and a chip will be generated. There will still be scraping and ploughing phenomena in the positions with depth located in , only the positions with depth located in will have cutting phenomena. In the cutting position, the abrasive particle will suffer the force generated by the material to resist the generation of the chip, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0038] When the abrasive particle is in the cutting phase, the heat flux density generated by the abrasive particle is expressed as: wherein: is the tangential grinding force suffered by the abrasive particle .

[0039] Specifically, the grinding force suffered by the abrasive particle can be obtained through the shear stress of the material: wherein: is the normal grinding force suffered by the abrasive particle ; is the corresponding rake angle of the abrasive particle when cutting; is the friction angle of the abrasive particle when cutting; is the shear strength of the machined material; and are the upper and lower limits of the rake angle of the abrasive particle , respectively.

[0040] Step three: Heat flux density distribution and fitting: According to the heat flux density distribution mechanism of grinding cutting, the proportion of the heat flux density transmitted into the workpiece in the grinding contact area is determined, and the heat flux density transmitted into the workpiece generated by all the grinding particles involved in grinding is integrated and fitted to obtain the heat flux density distribution model in the grinding contact area.

[0041] In the process of gear form grinding, 70%~80% of the spindle power will be converted into heat energy in the grinding area, except for a small part of the grinding energy consumed in the surface energy and residual strain energy generated by the new surface. This heat energy will be distributed to the workpiece, grinding fluid, grinding wheel and grinding dust in a certain proportion. And the distribution ratio is dynamic: ① affected by process parameters: changes in process parameters such as grinding wheel speed, grinding depth, feed speed, etc. will change the heat distribution ratio between the workpiece, grinding fluid, grinding wheel and grinding dust. ② Changes along the tooth profile (rolling angle): due to the differences in the geometric shape of the grinding wheel-workpiece contact area at different rolling angles on the gear tooth profile, the heat distribution ratio is not constant in the entire tooth profile direction, but shows a continuous change trend. Therefore, in order to accurately predict and calculate the temperature rise in the grinding area, it is necessary to solve the corresponding heat flux density distribution ratio for different process parameter combinations and at different positions on the tooth profile.

[0042] (1) Heat flux density distribution model in cutting stage When the grinding particles are in the cutting stage, the total heat is generated in the contact area between the grinding particles and the tooth surface, and is distributed to the workpiece, grinding wheel, grinding dust and grinding fluid in a certain proportion, which is expressed as: wherein: , , and are the heat flux densities transmitted into the workpiece, grinding wheel, grinding dust and grinding fluid during grinding, respectively.

[0043] Heat flux density distribution ratio transmitted into the workpiece It is calculated by a model containing the convective heat transfer coefficient of the grinding fluid, the workpiece thermal conductivity factor and the Prandtl number. Specifically, the heat flux density distribution ratio transmitted into the workpiece in the grinding contact area is expressed as: wherein: is the convective heat transfer coefficient of the grinding fluid; is the thermal conductivity factor of the workpiece; is the heat flux density distribution ratio of the workpiece in the grinding wheel and workpiece system; is the heat distribution ratio of the workpiece in the grinding dust and workpiece system in the grinding contact area.

[0044] Heat flux density distribution ratio of the workpiece in the grinding wheel and workpiece system​ is: where: is the effective contact radius of the abrasive particle and the tooth surface; is the thermal conductivity of the abrasive particle; , and are the thermal conductivity, density and specific heat capacity of the gear, respectively.

[0045] Both grinding parameters and abrasive particle types have an impact on the heat conduction in the chip formation process in the grinding zone. The thermal partition of the chips and the workpiece in the grinding contact zone is: where: is the thermal diffusivity of the chip; is the average undeformed chip thickness; is the shear strain in the chip formation zone.

[0046] (2) Heat flux density distribution model in the scraping and ploughing stage When the abrasive particle is in the ploughing and scraping stage, the abrasive particle only passes through the tooth surface and does not produce a chip. The heat generated by the contact between the abrasive particle and the tooth surface is only transmitted into the workpiece, the grinding fluid and the grinding wheel. At this time, in the chip and workpiece system, the distribution ratio of the heat transmitted into the workpiece . The distribution ratio of the heat flow density flowing into the workpiece in the ploughing and scraping stage can be expressed as: where: is the heat flow density transmitted into the workpiece in the scraping and ploughing stage; is the heat flow density generated in the scraping and ploughing stage; The distribution ratio of the heat flow density transmitted into the grinding wheel and the grinding fluid at this time can be expressed as: where: is the heat flow density distribution ratio transmitted into the grinding wheel; is the heat flow density distribution ratio transmitted into the grinding fluid.

[0047] (3) Heat flow density distribution model The heat generated by each grinding abrasive particle participating in the grinding is integrated by analyzing the contact relationship between the abrasive particle and the tooth surface, and the heat flow density distribution in the grinding contact zone is solved.

[0048] The heat flow density transmitted into the workpiece when the abrasive particle is in the scraping, ploughing and cutting stage can be expressed as: where: , and are the heat fluxes transmitted into the workpiece during the scraping, ploughing and cutting phases of the abrasive particles, respectively; , and are the heat fluxes generated during the scraping, ploughing and cutting phases, respectively.

[0049] The heat fluxes transmitted into the workpiece at each position in the grinding contact zone are integrated and fitted to a function of the position , as shown in Fig. 2, to obtain a heat flux distribution model: Figure 7 where: is the rolling angle corresponding to the involute tooth profile; is between 0 and the contact arc length .

[0050] Step four: temperature field modeling and solving: based on the heat flux distribution model obtained in step three, the grinding contact zone is equivalent to a surface heat source moving on the gear tooth surface, and the temperature field model of the gear forming grinding contact zone is established and solved by the point heat source superposition method.

[0051] During gear forming grinding, the contact relationship between the grinding wheel and the gear tooth surface, the depth of cut, etc. are relatively stable in the gear axial direction. The temperature field of the contact zone can be equivalent to a relatively stable surface heat source moving on the tooth surface in the feed direction, and the temperature rise generated by the gear in the moving time period. This surface heat source can be equivalent to the superposition of an infinite number of point heat sources. Therefore, the basis of the modeling of the grinding contact zone temperature field is the temperature rise generated by a point heat source on an infinite heat conductor, as shown in Fig. 3. Figure 8

[0052] Assuming that a point heat source is located at at time , the point heat source emits heat ; then the temperature rise at point is: where: is the temperature rise; is the distance between the point heat source and point ; and are the thermal diffusivity and density of the heat conductor, respectively; is the specific heat capacity of the gear.

[0053] The point heat source is superimposed in the gear forming grinding contact zone to obtain the grinding contact zone temperature field: ​​ wherein: denotes the gear base circle radius; denotes the rolling angle of the integration infinitesimal; denotes the time interval; denotes the feed speed of the grinding wheel spindle; denotes the actual contact position of the integration infinitesimal; and denote the upper and lower limits of the rolling angle, respectively; denotes the contact arc length of the integration infinitesimal; denotes the observation time.

Any equivalent replacement or transformation made by those skilled in the art based on the present application shall fall within the scope of the present application. The scope of the present application is defined by the claims.
