[0020] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0021] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear machining method of this application.

[0023] See below. Figure 1 The embodiments of this application are further described below. This application proposes a method for machining non-involute variable tooth thickness gears, including the following steps: Step 101: Construct the tooth surface equation and normal vector of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear. Step 102: Construct the grinding wheel tooth surface equation and grinding wheel normal vector, wherein the grinding wheel is used to grind non-involute variable tooth thickness gears; Step 103: Based on the geometric principle that the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear need to maintain tangential contact during the machining process, plan the machining path of the grinding wheel; Step 104: Based on the grinding wheel tooth surface equation and machining path, machine the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear.

[0024] In this embodiment, a grinding wheel tooth surface model is established, and based on the machine tool coordinate system, the contact calculation between the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear surface is performed to realize the planning of the grinding wheel's machining path. Finally, based on the grinding wheel tooth surface model and the machining path, the precision grinding of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear is completed, thus avoiding fundamental errors in the machining principle.

[0025] The tooth surface equation and normal vector of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear described above can be obtained by constructing a toothed rack, enclosing the involute variable tooth thickness gear through the toothed rack, and then enclosing the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear through the involute variable tooth thickness gear, thereby obtaining the tooth surface equation and normal vector of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear.

[0026] The aforementioned grinding wheel can be a conical grinding wheel. Since the tooth surface of non-involute variable tooth thickness gears is convex, theoretically any non-concave grinding wheel can be used for their machining. However, considering that conical grinding wheels with a straight shaft cross-section profile have the following significant advantages over convex grinding wheels: First, when dressing them with diamond rollers, the process is simple and efficient; second, this grinding wheel has good versatility, and one set of grinding wheels can be adapted to the machining of gears with different parameters.

[0027] The above machining path is the path for machining non-involute variable tooth thickness gears with a grinding wheel. It can be understood that the planning of the grinding wheel's machining path must follow geometric principles. That is, at any moment during machining, the grinding wheel tooth surface and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface must be tangent at a certain point. Specifically, this contact point must simultaneously satisfy two conditions: first, the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surfaces have the same spatial coordinates; second, the normal vectors at that point have the same direction. Based on these constraints, the continuous machining path of the grinding wheel can be determined and planned.

[0028] In some implementations, constructing the gear tooth surface equation and normal vector of a non-involute variable tooth thickness gear may include the following steps.

[0029] Specifically, establish a coordinate system for involute gears with variable tooth thickness and for non-involute gears with variable tooth thickness, such as... Figure 2 As shown. S d ( x d , y d , z d S is the fixed coordinate system for involute gears with varying tooth thickness. j ( x j , y j , z j ) is its coordinate system of motion; S f ( x f , y f , z f S2 is the fixed coordinate system for non-involute variable tooth thickness gears. x 2, y 2, z 2) is its motion coordinate system.

[0030] When an involute gear with variable tooth thickness envelops a non-involute gear with variable tooth thickness, they rotate about their own axes by angles. and The relationship of the corners can be expressed asz 2 / z s = / The number of teeth of an involute gear with variable tooth thickness is z s The number of teeth of a non-involute variable tooth thickness gear is z 2. The angle between the shafts of the two gears is... θ , r s This indicates the pitch circle radius of an involute gear with variable tooth thickness. r 2 represents the pitch circle radius of a non-involute variable tooth thickness gear. The tooth surface equation r2 of a non-involute variable tooth thickness gear can be expressed as: (1) Among them, M dj M fd M 2f This is the position transformation matrix. f 2j The above equations represent the meshing equations for an involute gear with variable tooth thickness and a non-involute gear with variable tooth thickness; the equations above show that the tooth surface r2 of the non-involute gear with variable tooth thickness is derived from the tooth surface r of the involute gear with variable tooth thickness. j After position transformation, and given that the tooth surfaces of the involute variable tooth thickness gear and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear mesh, the normal vector n of the involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface is obtained. j The relative linear velocity v between the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear and the involute variable tooth thickness gear (2j) The product is zero; Among them, M dj M fd M 2f It can be represented as: (2) (3) (4) In some implementations, based on the geometric principle that the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear must maintain tangential contact during machining, the machining path of the grinding wheel is planned, including: Transform the tooth surface equation, normal vector, grinding wheel tooth surface equation, and grinding wheel normal vector of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear into the machine tool coordinate system. Based on the geometric principle that the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear need to maintain tangential contact during the machining process, according to the gear tooth surface equation, the gear normal vector, the grinding wheel tooth surface equation, and the grinding wheel normal vector in the machine tool coordinate system, the first set of tangential contact equations in the machine tool coordinate system is obtained. The first set of tangential contact equations is used to make the spatial positions of the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear coincide at the contact point and the directions of their normal vectors are consistent. Solve the first set of contact equations to obtain the machining path of the grinding wheel.

[0031] In this embodiment, transforming the gear tooth surface equation, gear normal vector, grinding wheel tooth surface equation, and grinding wheel normal vector of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear into the same machine tool coordinate system is a prerequisite for subsequent contact calculation and machining path planning. Then, according to the geometric principle that the machining path planning of the grinding wheel must follow, that is, at any moment of machining, it must be ensured that the grinding wheel tooth surface is tangent to the gear tooth surface of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear at a certain point, the first contact equation set can be obtained. Solving it can yield the machining path of the grinding wheel.

[0032] The aforementioned machine tool can be a five-axis CNC machine tool, such as... Figure 3 As shown, specifically, a non-involute variable tooth thickness gear can be machined using an H350G five-axis CNC machine tool. This machine tool has three linear axes (X, Y, Z axes) and three rotary axes (A, B, C axes). The C axis is the machine tool spindle, used to mount the grinding wheel; the A axis is used to mount the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear; and the B axis is the machine tool's rotary axis. The coordinate system is S... m Let S be the coordinate system of the CNC machine tool. m The coordinate system is a globally fixed coordinate system, namely the machine tool coordinate system mentioned above.

[0033] The above-mentioned transformation of the tooth surface equation of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear, the normal vector of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear, the tooth surface equation of the grinding wheel, and the normal vector of the grinding wheel to the machine tool coordinate system can be achieved through coordinate transformation.

[0034] Specifically, based on the machine tool kinematic chain, the coordinate vector r of the grinding wheel can be transformed through coordinate transformation. g and normal vector n g All transformed to the global fixed coordinate system S m Below, obtain the corresponding and Through coordinate transformation, the coordinate vector r2 and normal vector n2 of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear are both transformed to the global fixed coordinate system S. m Below, obtain the corresponding and Specifically, it can be obtained through the following expression: (5) in, l andz n These are the variables included in the relevant expressions for non-involute variable tooth thickness gears. l Let S be the coordinate system of the normal tooth surface of the rack. n ( x n , y n , z n coordinate axes y n variables on, z n coordinate axes z n Variables on; θ g and t For variables included in the expressions related to grinding wheels, θ g For grinding wheel rotation parameters, t For the linear parameters of the grinding wheel; coordinate transformation matrix M mB M BA M Ag M mY M YC M C2 It can be represented as: (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) Where X, Y, Z, A, B, and C are the values ​​of each motion axis of the CNC machine tool.

[0035] In some implementations, the tooth surface equation of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear and the normal vector of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear are both determined by the first tooth surface variable and the second tooth surface variable; the tooth surface equation of the grinding wheel and the normal vector of the grinding wheel are both determined by the grinding wheel linear variable and the grinding wheel rotation variable; the equations in the machine tool coordinate system include the first linear axis variable, the second linear axis variable, the third linear axis variable, the first rotation axis variable, the second rotation axis variable, and the third rotation axis variable; Based on the geometric principle that the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear must maintain tangential contact during machining, and according to the gear tooth surface equation, the gear normal vector, the grinding wheel tooth surface equation, and the grinding wheel normal vector in the machine tool coordinate system, the first set of tangential contact equations in the machine tool coordinate system is obtained, including: Based on the geometric principle that the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear need to maintain tangential contact during the machining process, a second set of tangential contact equations is established in the machine tool coordinate system according to the gear tooth surface equation, the gear normal vector, the grinding wheel tooth surface equation, and the grinding wheel normal vector. The second set of tangential contact equations is determined by the first tooth surface variable, the second tooth surface variable, the grinding wheel linear variable, the grinding wheel rotation variable, the first linear axis variable, the second linear axis variable, the third linear axis variable, the first rotation axis variable, the second rotation axis variable, and the third rotation axis variable. The second rotation axis variable in the second set of equations is set to a preset fixed value; Make the third rotation axis variable in the second set of equations equal to the grinding wheel rotation variable; Based on the geometric principle that the tooth surface points on the grinding wheel correspond to the tooth surface points on the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear during grinding wheel machining, the associated non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation is obtained; wherein, the associated non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation is determined by the grinding wheel linear variable and the second tooth surface variable. The first contact equation is obtained based on the second contact equation set and the associated non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation; wherein, the first contact equation set is determined by the second tooth surface variable, the grinding wheel linear variable, the first linear axis variable, the second linear axis variable, the third linear axis variable, the first rotation axis variable, and the third rotation axis variable.

[0036] In this embodiment, based on the geometric principle that the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear need to maintain tangential contact during the machining process, a second set of tangential contact equations is established in the machine tool coordinate system. However, the second set of tangential contact equations has 10 variables and only 5 equations, and the equations have infinitely many solutions, so it is impossible to directly solve for the machining path of the grinding wheel. Therefore, the second set of tangential contact equations needs to be further processed to reduce the degrees of freedom, resulting in the first set of tangential contact equations, which has only 7 variables and 5 equations, and can solve for the machining path of the grinding wheel.

[0037] Based on the geometric principle that the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear need to maintain tangential contact during machining, the second set of tangential contact equations in the machine tool coordinate system is obtained. This can be derived from the fact that, when the grinding wheel is machining the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear, the surfaces of the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear need to remain tangent at a certain point. That is, the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear have the same spatial coordinates on their tooth surfaces, and their normal vectors have the same direction at that point. Therefore, based on the above constraints, the second set of tangential contact equations between the grinding wheel and the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear can be established as follows: (12) Among them, including l , z n , θg , t There are 10 variables in total: X, Y, Z, A, B, and C. l and z n These are the variables included in the relevant expressions for non-involute variable tooth thickness gears. l Let S be the coordinate system of the normal tooth surface of the rack. n ( x n , y n , z n coordinate axes y n The variable on the surface is also the first tooth surface variable mentioned above. z n coordinate axes z n The variable on the surface is also the second tooth surface variable mentioned above; θ g and t For variables included in the expressions related to grinding wheels, θ g This refers to the grinding wheel rotation parameters, which are also the grinding wheel rotation variables mentioned above. t X, Y, Z, A, B, and C are the linear parameters of the grinding wheel, which are also the linear variables of the grinding wheel mentioned above. X, Y, Z, A, B, and C are the variables included in the expression under the machine tool coordinate system. They are the variables on each motion axis of the machine tool, namely the linear axes X, Y, Z and the rotary axes A, B, and C, respectively, corresponding to the first linear axis variable, the second linear axis variable, the third linear axis variable, the first rotary axis variable, the second rotary axis variable, and the third rotary axis variable mentioned above.

[0038] Understandably, the second set of equations has 10 variables and only 5 equations, with infinitely many solutions, making it impossible to determine the machining path of the grinding wheel. Therefore, further processing of the second set of equations is needed to reduce the degrees of freedom.

[0039] The second rotation axis variable in the second contact equation set is set to a preset fixed value, that is, the B-axis rotation angle of the CNC machine tool adopts a fixed value and does not participate in the linkage of grinding wheel processing. In this way, the second rotation axis variable B can be eliminated. Specifically, the value of the B-axis rotation angle can be set to be equal to the helix angle value of the involute variable tooth thickness gear.

[0040] The above makes the third rotational axis variable in the second set of equations equal to the grinding wheel rotation variable. That is, when the grinding wheel is mounted on the C-axis of the CNC machine tool, the C-axis rotation angle on the machine tool can be equivalent to the grinding wheel rotation angle. θ g Then the angle of the grinding wheel can be adjusted. θ g The rotation angle is equal to that of the C-axis, therefore we have θg =C, thus eliminating the grinding wheel rotation variable. θ g .

[0041] Based on the geometric principle of machining tooth surface points on the grinding wheel corresponding to the tooth surface points on a non-involute variable tooth thickness gear during grinding, the above-mentioned related non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation is obtained. It can be understood that the original non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation can be expressed as r2( l , z n ), due to the grinding wheel teeth surface t The variable tooth surface point is actually used to machine the corresponding tooth surface point on the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear, so it can necessarily be converted to obtain r2( t , z n That is, the aforementioned related non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation, thereby eliminating the first tooth surface variable. l .

[0042] The first set of tangent equations above can be expressed as: (13) Among them, including z n , t With seven variables—X, Y, Z, A, and C—the first set of equations can be solved directly.

[0043] In some implementations, based on the geometric principle that the tooth surface points on the grinding wheel correspond to the tooth surface points on a non-involute variable tooth thickness gear during grinding, the associated tooth surface equation of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear is obtained, including: Based on the geometric principle that the tooth surface points on the grinding wheel correspond to the tooth surface points on the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear during grinding wheel machining, the first mapping relationship between the linear variable of the grinding wheel and the first tooth surface variable is determined. Based on the nonlinear optimization solution method, the associated non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation is obtained according to the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear tooth surface equation and the first mapping relationship.

[0044] In this embodiment, the equation of the tooth surface of the associated non-involute variable tooth thickness gear can be solved by nonlinear optimization method.

[0045] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4 As shown, the tooth surface points on the grinding wheel tooth surface correspond to the tooth surface points on the actual machined non-involute variable tooth thickness gears. Specifically, on the grinding wheel tooth surface... t The variable tooth surface point is only used for machining the corresponding non-involute variable tooth thickness gear. htThe tooth surface points, i.e., the first mapping relationship exists. Therefore, the tooth surface r2 of the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear was originally determined by the parameter l and z n This indicates that r2( l , z n ), and parameters l With corresponding tooth surface point h - t Since a mapping relationship exists, the variables can be optimized using nonlinear optimization methods. t Replacement parameters l Solving for r2, we get its representation as r2( t , z n The related equations for the tooth surface of non-involute variable tooth thickness gears.

[0046] The aforementioned nonlinear optimization solution methods can include dogleg optimization, Newton's gradient descent, trust region method, or genetic algorithm, etc.

[0047] In some implementations, solving the first set of contact equations yields the machining path of the grinding wheel, including: Discretize the second tooth surface variable and the grinding wheel linearity variable within a preset range to obtain multiple combinations of values; Substitute each combination of values ​​into the first set of cutting equations to calculate the discrete points on the processing path corresponding to each combination of values. The machining path is obtained based on all discrete points along the machining path.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the first contact equation set has 5 equations and a total of 7 variables, as shown in formula (13), it is only necessary to discretize the second tooth surface variable and the grinding wheel straight line variable, that is, the non-involute variable tooth thickness gear. z n and t The solution to the equation (X, Y, Z, A, C) is uniquely determined, corresponding to a position point on the machine tool machining path.
