Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to mechanical vibration simulation / testing analysis technology, and in particular to a method and system for extracting gear traveling wave modes. Background Technology
[0002] Gears, as commonly used transmission components, are widely used in various fields, such as aerospace, automobiles, wind power, and robotics.
[0003] Lightweight gear design leads to noticeable elastic vibrations. The increasing speed of transmission systems (such as aerospace gears and gears in new energy vehicles) results in more resonance occurring within the operating speed range. When resonance occurs, the vibration amplitude of the gear increases dramatically. Excessive gear vibration can cause excessive loads on the gear itself and the supporting bearings, leading to pitting on the tooth surface, tooth root fracture, and bearing damage. Excessive gear vibration also results in higher noise levels, negatively impacting the user experience.
[0004] Natural frequencies and modes are fundamental to the study and solution of resonance problems. Resonance occurs when the excitation frequency (an overtone of the meshing frequency) is close to the natural frequency; the vibration mode of the gear at resonance is called a mode. For rotating gears, the resonant modes are traveling wave modes, not standing wave modes. Commonly used impact mode tests and commercial finite element eigenvalue solutions are performed when the gear is in a non-rotating state. The natural frequencies and standing wave modes obtained from impact tests or finite element solutions differ from the resonant frequencies and traveling wave modes of rotating gears. While some models considering high-speed rotation effects can solve for traveling wave modes and natural frequencies, the reliability of the results depends on the accuracy of the model.
[0005] As described in prior art 1: CN202010050870.5, the traveling wave mode of the gear can be obtained by calculating its eigenvalues. The mode obtained through eigenvalue calculation and simulation model correction is a standing wave mode, which is not a true traveling wave resonance mode for the gear.
[0006] Existing technology 2: Abnormal peak signal used for gear fault identification in CN202110707786.0.
[0007] Existing technology 3: CN202110714899.3: The vibration simulation signal of the planetary gear train generated considering meshing impact and path modulation does not consider the influence of rotational speed, so it is impossible to identify the resonance frequency and extract the traveling wave resonance mode by analyzing the signal. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention addresses the problem that existing technologies can only obtain standing wave modes and their natural frequencies, and cannot be performed simultaneously with frequency sweep testing, requiring separate testing; and that standing wave modes are obtained by tapping multiple points along the circumference of the gear.

The sideband amplitude spectrum and sideband phase spectrum are obtained by extracting the sideband response at the gear resonant frequency Ω, thus obtaining the sideband amplitude spectrum and sideband phase spectrum under the resonant state. The amplitude and phase of the gear pitch diameter component are determined by establishing a correspondence between each sideband component in the sideband amplitude spectrum and the sideband phase spectrum and the gear pitch diameter component of the gear resonance mode, thereby determining the amplitude of the gear pitch diameter component. and phase ; Traveling wave resonant modal response The determination is made by the amplitude of the gear pitch diameter component. and phase And the natural frequency ω determines the traveling wave resonant mode response. .

The natural frequency ω of the gear is calculated based on the number of gear teeth Z. ; Where ω is the natural frequency of the gear. Z is the resonant rotational frequency of the gear, and Z is the number of teeth on the gear.
[0014] Preferably, the amplitude of the gear pitch diameter component and phase And the natural frequency ω determines the traveling wave resonant mode response. , ; in, Let be the spatial angular position of the gear, and ; Let ω be the pitch diameter of the gear, and ω be the natural frequency of the gear.

[0015] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a system for extracting gear traveling wave modes, which implements the aforementioned method for extracting gear traveling wave modes, comprising: The gear time-domain vibration response signal acquisition module obtains the gear time-domain vibration response signal at any point on the gear through simulation or measurement; The gear frequency domain response signal acquisition module obtains the gear frequency domain response signal by performing a Fourier transform on the gear time domain vibration response signal.

The module for determining the amplitude and phase of the gear pitch diameter component establishes a correspondence between each sideband component in the sideband amplitude spectrum and the sideband phase spectrum and the gear pitch diameter component of the gear resonance mode, thereby determining the amplitude of the gear pitch diameter component. and phase ; Traveling wave resonant modal response The determination module uses the amplitude of the gear pitch diameter component. and phase And the natural frequency ω determines the traveling wave resonant mode response. .
[0016] This invention, by adopting the above technical solutions, has significant technical effects: This invention only requires one sensor to be placed in the circumferential direction of the gear; the signal is collected during the gear frequency sweep test, without the need for additional impact test; the traveling wave mode and its natural frequency can be obtained through frequency domain analysis of the sweep signal.
[0017] This invention directly analyzes the frequency domain signal of the sweep frequency response at a point on the circumferential direction of the gear to obtain the traveling wave mode of the gear resonance response and its natural frequency.
[0018] This invention is not only applicable to the extraction of traveling wave modes at resonance, but also to the extraction of gear circumferential vibration at any rotational speed. In experimental testing, only one sensor that rotates with the gear is needed to obtain the vibration signal on the entire circumference of the gear. In dynamic simulation, only the vibration data of one point on the gear needs to be saved to obtain the vibration signal on the entire circumference of the gear, which greatly reduces storage space.
