Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of propulsion shafting, and in particular to a low-vibration design method for ship propulsion shafting that takes into account tooth surface roughness. Background Technology
[0002] The propulsion shafting system is a core component of a ship's power plant, primarily consisting of the main engine, motor, gear transmission system, thrust bearing, intermediate shaft, and propeller. The torque output from the main engine is reduced in speed by the gearbox and then transmitted to the intermediate shaft via a coupling, ultimately driving the propeller to generate propulsion. The gear transmission system, relying on precisely meshed tooth surfaces to achieve power transmission and direction conversion, is considered the "main artery" of power transmission and distribution in the propulsion shafting system. With the development of ship propulsion shafting systems, requirements for high reliability, high efficiency, low vibration, and low noise have been placed on gear transmission systems. However, the complex operating environment of ships today makes propulsion shafting systems highly susceptible to deformation under harsh sea conditions. This causes sudden load shocks in the gear transmission system during operation, reducing the stability of the propulsion system. Furthermore, when gears operate in an unstable state for extended periods, they are prone to pitting, wear, galling, and tooth breakage, affecting the reliability and stability of the ship's propulsion shafting system.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies often control vibration by installing devices such as hydraulic clutches, magnetorheological dampers, and periodic structural oscillators in the shafting system. Researchers frequently employ the lumped parameter method for dynamic modeling of ship propulsion shafting systems, but the key influencing factor of gear meshing vibration—tooth surface roughness—is often simplified to an ideal smooth tooth surface. Furthermore, damping devices such as magnetorheological dampers and periodic structural oscillators have limited effectiveness in suppressing mid-to-high frequency vibrations of the shafting system in the gear meshing frequency band. Existing multi-objective optimization methods (such as response surface-genetic algorithms) only use shafting power consumption and total vibration level as indicators, lacking modeling of the transmission path between tooth surface excitation and system response. Manufacturing constraints limit the application of high-cost tooth surface polishing, especially under heavy-load wear conditions, where its economy and reliability are difficult to balance. Therefore, how to further reduce mid-to-high frequency vibrations of ship propulsion shafting systems in the gear meshing frequency band and improve the reliability and stability of ship propulsion shafting operation has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

The decomposition process is as follows: ; ; ; S302, the mass matrix in step S301 Stiffness matrix With damping matrix Based on the meshing relationship, the mass matrix is embedded into the overall mass matrix, stiffness matrix, and damping matrix of the ship's propulsion shafting system (excluding the meshing relationship) to obtain the mass matrix corrected for tooth surface roughness. Stiffness matrix Damping matrix ; Based on the excitation of the ship's power system, tooth surface meshing force is introduced. As a meshing excitation, and to introduce tooth surface friction. As a frictional excitation, and and According to the arrangement and synthesis of the corresponding action nodes and degrees of freedom, the total excitation column vector of the ship propulsion shaft system is obtained. This leads to the second ship propulsion shaft system motion differential equation after correction for tooth surface roughness: ; In the formula, Let this be the column vector of vibration accelerations of the ship's propulsion shafting. This represents the vibration velocity column vector of the ship's propulsion shaft system. This is the column vector of vibration displacements of the ship's propulsion shaft system.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S2, the tooth surface roughness is first introduced to calculate the time-varying meshing stiffness and the time-varying friction coefficient of the gear meshing unit. Then, the tooth surface meshing force and tooth surface friction force are calculated using the time-varying meshing stiffness and the time-varying friction coefficient of the tooth surface, as well as the system damping matrix correction term and system stiffness matrix correction term considering the meshing effect and friction effect respectively. Finally, the stiffness matrix and damping matrix after tooth surface roughness correction are obtained using the system damping matrix correction term and system stiffness matrix correction term.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S2, the time-varying friction coefficient can be obtained using the oil film shear stress τ(t) at time t and the normal contact load P(t) of a single micro-protrusion. : ; Assume that at time t, the displacement projection column vector generated by each degree of freedom displacement component along the contact line is...

[0013] Furthermore, in step S3, the differential equations of motion of the ship propulsion shaft system considering tooth surface roughness are solved iteratively using the Newmark time-domain method.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S4, by using a preset roughness, the vibration characteristics of all ship propulsion shaft system nodes under this roughness can be obtained under steady-state time variation curves. Several nodes of interest are selected, and by calculating the vibration characteristics of each node under several sets of roughness under steady-state time variation curves, and according to the set weight of each node, the vibration characteristics of each node under different roughness are synthesized, and finally the roughness-vibration characteristic comprehensive variation curve considering all nodes of interest is obtained. With the goal of minimizing the maximum, minimum, mean, and peak values of the comprehensive vibration displacement, vibration velocity, and vibration acceleration of these nodes, the roughness range that meets the low vibration design of the ship propulsion shaft system can be obtained through the roughness-vibration characteristic comprehensive variation curve, and thus the required tooth surface roughness can be obtained.
[0015] After adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: First, this invention establishes a first differential equation of motion for the ship propulsion shafting without considering the gear meshing unit. Simultaneously, it calculates relevant parameters of the gear meshing unit by introducing tooth surface roughness. Then, it incorporates these parameters into the first differential equation of motion for the ship propulsion shafting, establishing the dynamic coupling relationship of the shafting system and refining the differential equation of motion. A second differential equation of motion for the ship propulsion shafting is then established under tooth surface roughness correction, allowing tooth surface roughness to be incorporated into the vibration calculation of the ship propulsion shafting. This enables the calculation of the time-varying vibration characteristics of each node in the ship propulsion shafting, including the influence of tooth surface roughness, under steady-state conditions. Furthermore, guided by low vibration of the ship propulsion shafting, it matches vibration characteristics to obtain tooth surface roughness values that meet vibration conditions. This allows for the computational transmission of tooth surface excitation and the system response of the shafting, adapting to different application scenarios by calculating corresponding tooth surface roughness value ranges, reducing gear tooth surface machining costs. This approach reduces the cost of gear tooth surface machining while lowering the mid-to-high frequency vibration of the ship propulsion shafting in the gear meshing section and improving the reliability and stability of the ship propulsion shafting operation.
[0016] Secondly, this invention can accurately calculate the relationship between tooth surface roughness and stable operation of the propulsion shaft system, thereby obtaining the influence of tooth surface roughness on the entire ship propulsion shaft system. It can simultaneously take into account calculation accuracy and solution efficiency, and accurately reflect the vibration of the ship propulsion shaft system. Attached Figure Description
