Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gear design, and specifically relates to a gear design optimization method. Background Technology
[0002] Gear transmission is an extremely common form of transmission in mechanical equipment, and mechanical vibration has a significant impact on the transmission accuracy and smoothness of the equipment. Changes in stiffness are a major cause of vibration in mechanical systems. Mechanical transmission systems often operate under diverse conditions and are subject to varying loads. Therefore, it is essential to conduct in-depth research on the influence of load and transmission ratio on the overall meshing stiffness of gears, and then optimize the nominal parameters of gears through stiffness verification to further enhance their transmission performance.
[0003] Existing methods for calculating gear stiffness mainly fall into three categories: analytical methods, finite element methods, and experimental methods. Existing methods all have significant drawbacks in stiffness calculation: (1) They do not consider the influence of load factors: When a gear bears different loads, the deformation at different positions of each tooth varies, leading to changes in the meshing period for different numbers of teeth, resulting in inaccurate calculation of the impact response period phase; (2) They cannot characterize the excitation form of different types of stiffness: Loads have different effects on different stiffness components such as axial compressive stiffness, Hertzian contact stiffness, and matrix stiffness, and their influence coefficients change with different meshing positions. Current analytical stiffness models cannot accurately characterize this phenomenon. Therefore, existing methods for calculating gear meshing stiffness need further improvement to accurately characterize the influence of loads on stiffness, thereby designing more precise gear parameters. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gear design optimization method, which takes into account the influence of gear load on the impact response period phase, improves the calculation accuracy of the meshing stiffness of the gear transmission system, and optimizes the gear parameters to ensure the transmission performance of the gear teeth under variable load conditions.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a gear design optimization method of the present invention includes: Step 1: Construct a gear comprehensive stiffness model based on gear teeth under variable loads; Step 2: Obtain the initial values of the gear meshing tooth profile design parameters, including module, pressure angle, tooth width, number of teeth, center distance, and transmission ratio; Step 3: Substitute the set load and the initial values of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameters obtained in Step 2 into the gear comprehensive stiffness model constructed in Step 1 to obtain the comprehensive stiffness of the gear. Step 4: Based on the initial values of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameters obtained in Step 2, obtain the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair; compare the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair with the comprehensive stiffness of the gear obtained in Step 3. If the comprehensive stiffness of the gear obtained in Step 3 is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair, then the initial values of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameters obtained in Step 2 are used as the actual gear design parameter values. If the overall stiffness of the gear obtained in step 3 is less than the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair, then return to step 3, change the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value obtained in step 2, and substitute the set load and the changed gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value back into the gear overall stiffness model constructed in step 1 to obtain the gear overall stiffness, until the overall stiffness of the gear obtained in step 3 is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair; the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value that satisfies the condition that the overall stiffness of the gear is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair is used as the actual gear design parameter value.
[0018] In the above method, the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair is obtained based on the initial values of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameters obtained in step 2. The nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair is the gear meshing pair stiffness obtained under no load, and is specifically calculated according to equations (1) to (6).
[0019] In the above method, firstly, a gear comprehensive stiffness model is constructed; then, the initial values of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameters are obtained; next, the set load and the obtained initial values of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameters are substituted into the constructed gear comprehensive stiffness model to obtain the gear comprehensive stiffness; finally, the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair is compared with the gear comprehensive stiffness obtained in step 3. If the gear comprehensive stiffness obtained in step 3 is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair, it proves that the gear teeth meet the strength requirements under load, and the initial values of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameters obtained in step 2 are used as the actual gear design parameter values. If the overall stiffness of the gear obtained in step 3 is less than the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair, it proves that the gear teeth do not meet the strength requirements under load, i.e., the gear teeth are not strong enough. Then return to step 3, change the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value obtained in step 2, and resubmit the set load and the changed gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value into the gear overall stiffness model constructed in step 1 to obtain the gear overall stiffness until the overall stiffness of the gear obtained in step 3 is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair. The gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value that satisfies the condition that the overall stiffness of the gear is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair is taken as the actual gear design parameter value.
[0020] The method described in the above embodiments considers the influence of load on the meshing stiffness of transmission gear teeth under different working conditions, making the calculated meshing stiffness more consistent with actual load conditions and thus more accurate. This method can be used to verify the strength of gears under load during the design and manufacturing stage, transforming gear production inspection from traditional experience-based testing to precise verification. It has particularly significant application value for the design optimization and inspection of non-standard gears.
[0021] Preferably, step 4 further includes: if the overall stiffness of the gear obtained in step 3 is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair, then compare whether the gear meshing sub-stiffness meets the sub-stiffness preset condition. If the sub-stiffness preset condition is met, then the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value that satisfies the requirement that the overall stiffness of the gear is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear pair is used as the actual gear design parameter value; if the sub-stiffness preset condition is not met, then return to step 3, change the initial value of the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter obtained in step 2, and re-substitute the set load and the changed gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value into the gear overall stiffness model constructed in step 1 to obtain the overall stiffness of the gear, until step 3 obtains that the overall stiffness of the gear is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair and satisfies the sub-stiffness preset condition; then the gear meshing pair tooth profile design parameter value that satisfies the sub-stiffness preset condition and satisfies the requirement that the overall stiffness of the gear is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear pair is used as the actual gear design parameter value.
[0022] In the above method, if the overall stiffness of the gear obtained in step 3 is greater than or equal to the nominal stiffness of the gear meshing pair, then the gear meshing sub-stiffness is compared to see if it meets the preset sub-stiffness conditions. This allows the solution to cover gears for different applications. For example, depending on the actual working conditions, some gear teeth are mainly subjected to bending stress, meaning that the bending stiffness accounts for a large proportion of the load during operation, requiring higher bending stiffness.

Gear meshing shear stiffness Axial compressive stiffness of gear meshing Gear meshing base stiffness Hertz contact stiffness of gear meshing The sub-stiffness preset condition is that the calculated sub-stiffness value is greater than or equal to the sub-stiffness threshold. The sub-stiffness of each gear mesh is calculated according to equations (2) to (6), and then compared with the sub-stiffness threshold of each gear mesh. If the calculated sub-stiffness value is greater than or equal to the sub-stiffness threshold, the design requirements are met.

[0025] Preferably, the method further includes: step 5, returning to step 3, changing the set load, and obtaining the actual gear design parameter values after changing the set load. Since gears will bear different loads, in this preferred embodiment, the actual gear design parameter values under different loads are obtained by changing the set load. This is more conducive to accurately obtaining gear design parameter values that meet the design requirements.

[0031] The load is obtained according to equation (10). Lower double-tooth meshing phase length : Equation (10).
[0032] The presence of load causes changes in some meshing parameters, resulting in a change in the meshing phase. More accurate phase information can be obtained through equation (10).
[0033] Preferably, step 103 includes: Step 1031: Calculate the overall meshing stiffness of the gear teeth in the meshing phase interval under single-tooth meshing conditions, specifically including: Calculating the overall meshing stiffness of a single pair of teeth reveals that changes in elastic deformation during single-pair meshing may lead to premature engagement with double teeth. If the elastic deformation of a single pair of teeth... Larger than tooth gap If the gear engages in double-tooth meshing prematurely, the combined meshing stiffness of a single pair of gear teeth should be recalculated according to equation (11).

[0035] In typical gear transmission systems, single-to-double tooth meshing occurs alternately during meshing. The technical method proposed in this invention fully considers the influence of load on the elastic deformation of teeth at different meshing positions during meshing, as well as the influence of load on the meshing cycle for different numbers of teeth. This results in a load-adaptive gear meshing cycle variation model. By comparing the influence of load on the phase of the single-to-double tooth region in real time based on the meshing position, the meshing cycle is updated in real time. This makes the stiffness calculation closer to the engineering reality of gear transmission, and the calculated stiffness value is more accurate, providing more reliable support for gear optimization and verification.
[0036] Furthermore, excessive loads may cause a continuous increase in tooth deformation, leading to multi-tooth meshing. When a gear enters the multi-tooth meshing zone, the gear load is typically borne by three pairs of teeth. Preferably, step 104 includes: Under load Under the action of the action, the elastic deformation of the three teeth is calculated using equation (14): Equation (14) In the formula, This represents the elastic deformation of the first pair of teeth during three-tooth meshing, in meters.

If the elastic deformation of the gear teeth is greater than the clearance between the three pairs of teeth, then the gear enters the three-tooth meshing zone, and the gear load... It is supported by three pairs of gear teeth; the meshing phase length of the three teeth is calculated using equation (15). for: Equation (15) The overall stiffness of the meshing teeth during three-tooth meshing is calculated using equation (16). Then proceed to step 105; Equation (16) In the formula, Indicates the total number of teeth pairs involved in meshing; Indicates the first The gear radius corresponding to the current meshing position of the gear teeth, in meters; Indicates the angle as The radius of the time, in meters; Expresses the amount of elastic deformation of the gear teeth, in meters; The clearance between meshing gear teeth, expressed in meters.

[0037] The gear design optimization method of this invention, based on the influence of different loads on the deformation of meshing teeth at different positions and the influence of load on the phase of the impact response period, establishes a transfer function of the influence coefficient of load on different types of sub-stiffness, and introduces it into the overall stiffness model, thereby constructing an improved gear stiffness calculation method that considers the influence of load. Simultaneously, this method further considers the sensitivity of meshing sub-stiffness (bending stiffness, shear stiffness, axial compressive stiffness, base stiffness, and Hertzian contact stiffness) to load changes. This invention overcomes the problem of existing methods being unable to accurately characterize the time-varying meshing stiffness of gear teeth under load changes, improves the calculation accuracy of meshing stiffness under actual operating conditions of the transmission system, and has practical application value for the optimization design of transmission systems and the improvement of transmission smoothness.
[0038] The method in this embodiment constructs a gear comprehensive stiffness model considering the load effect based on the method described in step 1, and explores the influence of load on the deformation of meshing teeth at different meshing positions and on the phase of the impact response period, thereby obtaining more accurate meshing stiffness values of the teeth under different load conditions. This method makes the calculated stiffness values of meshing teeth under different load conditions closer to reality. The method in this embodiment has practical application value for verifying the tooth strength and optimizing the tooth profile of gears under varying load conditions and non-standard gears.
[0039] Example: Two verification methods were used to verify the technical solution of the present invention. Verification method 1: Verifying the effect of setting different loads on the meshing stiffness of the gear transmission in the method of the present invention; Verification method 2: Verifying the effect of testing the transmission ratio and load on the meshing stiffness of the gear transmission in the method of the present invention. Three load torques were set for each verification method: 5 N•m, 25 N•m, and 125 N•m. The transmission ratio of verification method 1 was 1:1, and the transmission ratio of verification method 2 was 1:1.5. The gear parameters and load settings are shown in Table 1.
[0040] Table 1 Basic Parameters of Gears
[0041] (1) The gear comprehensive meshing stiffness calculated using the gear comprehensive stiffness model constructed by the method of this invention is compared with the gear comprehensive meshing stiffness calculated using the existing stiffness model (reference: Peng D., Smith W A., Borghesani P., et al. Comprehensive planet gear diagnostics: Use of transmission error and meshphasing to distinguish localised fault types and identify faulty gears. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2019, 127: 531-550.) to obtain Figure 3 (a) and Figure 4 (a). Comparative analysis of the effects of load and transmission ratio on the overall meshing stiffness of gears. Figure 3 To verify the performance of the gear in Scheme 1, (a) is the comprehensive meshing stiffness of the gear in Scheme 1, and (b) is the influence of the load on the comprehensive meshing stiffness of the gear in Scheme 1. Figure 3 (b) is based on Figure 3 (a) is a line graph obtained from the comprehensive meshing stiffness difference corresponding to different loads, where K 25 -K5 represents the line obtained by subtracting the comprehensive meshing stiffness value at a load of 5 N·m from the comprehensive meshing stiffness value at a load of 25 N·m; K 125 -K 25 The line represents the combined meshing stiffness value obtained by subtracting the combined meshing stiffness value at a load of 25 N·m from the combined meshing stiffness value at a load of 125 N·m.
[0042] Figure 4 The diagram shows the performance of the gears in test scheme 2. Among them, (a) is the diagram of the overall meshing stiffness of the gears in test scheme 2, and (b) is the diagram of the effect of load torque on the overall meshing stiffness of the gears in test scheme 2. Figure 4 (b) is based on Figure 4 (a) is a line graph showing the difference in comprehensive meshing stiffness under different loads and transmission ratios, where K 25 -K5 represents the line obtained by subtracting the combined meshing stiffness value of 5 N·m from the combined meshing stiffness value under a load of 25 N·m; K 125 -K 25 The line represents the combined meshing stiffness value obtained by subtracting the combined meshing stiffness value of 25 N·m from the combined meshing stiffness value of 125 N·m.
[0043] from Figure 3and Figure 4 As can be seen from this, the gear composite meshing stiffness calculated by the method of this invention not only includes the single meshing region and the double meshing region, but also includes the transition region closely related to the load magnitude (such as...). Figure 3 (a) and Figure 4 (as shown in (a)), where the larger the load, the wider the transition zone, and the smoother the stiffness switching between the single and double meshing zones. The transmission ratio also has a significant impact on the transition zone; the larger the transmission ratio, the smaller the stiffness difference between the single and double meshing zones, and this phenomenon is more pronounced under heavy load conditions.
[0044] The amplitude of the increase in the overall gear meshing stiffness caused by the increase in load torque fluctuates most dramatically in the transition zone; the amplitude of the increase in the overall gear meshing stiffness caused by the increase in load torque is relatively small in the double meshing zone, while its amplitude in the single meshing zone depends on the transmission ratio, where the larger the transmission ratio, the smaller the fluctuation of the increase in the overall gear meshing stiffness.
[0045] The above results confirm the necessity of considering factors such as load, meshing position and transmission ratio in the gear composite meshing stiffness, and verify the rationality and accuracy of the gear composite stiffness model constructed by the method of the present invention compared with existing stiffness models.
[0046] (2) Taking bending stiffness and shear stiffness as examples, the influence of load on bending stiffness and shear stiffness is analyzed, and the influence of factors such as load and meshing position on the overall meshing stiffness of the gear is further explained. The bending stiffness and shear stiffness values of the meshing teeth are calculated using the existing stiffness model and the gear overall stiffness model constructed in this invention, respectively. For the gear in test scheme 1, the bending stiffness value of the meshing teeth is calculated using the existing stiffness model and the gear overall stiffness model constructed in this invention, and the results are obtained. Figure 5 (a) For the gear in test scheme 2, the bending stiffness value of the meshing teeth is calculated using the existing stiffness model and the gear integrated stiffness model constructed in this invention, and the results are obtained. Figure 5 (b) For the gear in test scheme 1, the shear stiffness value of the meshing teeth is calculated using the existing stiffness model and the gear integrated stiffness model constructed in this invention, and the results are obtained. Figure 6 (a) For the gear in test scheme 2, the shear stiffness value of the meshing teeth is calculated using the existing stiffness model and the gear integrated stiffness model constructed in this invention, and the results are obtained. Figure 6 (b).
[0047] from Figure 5 It can be seen that when the load on the meshing gear teeth changes, the bending stiffness of the meshing gear teeth increases with the increase of the load. When the load increases from 5 N·m to 25 N·m, the meshing stiffness of the gear teeth increases from 1.83 × 10⁻⁶. 9 N·m -1 Increased to 4.31×10 9 N·m-1 When the load increases from 25 N·m to 125 N·m, the gear meshing stiffness increases from 4.31 × 10⁻⁶. 9 N·m -1 Increased to 4.82×10 9 N·m -1 As the load continues to increase, the upward trend of bending stiffness gradually slows down. The meshing stiffness of the gear teeth does not change significantly in amplitude at different meshing positions during meshing because the torsional torque of the gear teeth remains constant during meshing. Furthermore, changes in the gear ratio have little effect on the meshing bending stiffness of the meshing gear teeth.
[0048] from Figure 6 It can be seen that when gears mesh, the stiffness of the meshing gears first increases and then decreases as the meshing point changes from the tooth root to the tooth tip. When the load on the meshing gears changes, the shear stiffness of the meshing gears increases with the increase of the load. When the load increases from 5 N·m to 25 N·m, the meshing stiffness increases from 2.11 × 10⁻⁶ N·m to 25 N·m. 10 N·m -1 Increased to 2.62 × 10 10 N·m -1 When the load increases from 25 N·m to 125 N·m, the gear tooth meshing stiffness increases from 2.62 × 10⁻⁶. 10 N·m -1 Increased to 5.18×10 10 N·m -1 As can be seen, the shear stiffness increases slowly with the continuous increase of load. Furthermore, the meshing stiffness value is symmetrical about the maximum stiffness value within the meshing range because when the transmission ratio is 1:1, the line connecting the centers of the driven and driving gears passes through the midpoint of the meshing line. When the gear transmission ratio changes, the position of the maximum value of the meshing stiffness curve is no longer symmetrical about the entire meshing range, but shifts to the right. This is because when the gear transmission ratio changes from 1:1 to 1:1.5, the driving and driven gears no longer rotate at the same angular velocity, causing the intersection of the line connecting the centers of the driving and driven gears with the meshing line to no longer coincide with the midpoint of the meshing line. This results in the maximum meshing stiffness no longer exhibiting symmetry.
[0049] The gear integrated stiffness model constructed by the method of the present invention can fully consider the influence of load and transmission ratio on the meshing stiffness of meshing gear teeth, and also fully consider the influence of load changes and transmission ratio on the stiffness of each meshing element (bending stiffness, shear stiffness, axial compression stiffness, base stiffness and Hertzian contact stiffness), thereby enabling the constructed gear integrated stiffness model to calculate stiffness values more accurately, making gear parameter design more precise.
[0050] In the method of this invention, step 1 constructs the mapping relationship between external load and gear tooth meshing position, establishes a meshing period stiffness model with different number of teeth considering the influence of load, and obtains a gear meshing period variation model that is load-adaptive.
[0051] This invention considers the transfer function of the influence coefficient of load on different types of sub-stiffness and introduces it into the overall comprehensive stiffness model to complete the construction of an improved gear stiffness calculation model that takes into account the influence of load. This invention considers load influencing factors and introduces influence coefficients to characterize the impact of different meshing positions on meshing stiffness, overcoming the problem of inaccurate calculation of the impact response period phase in existing methods, and improving the calculation method of time-varying gear meshing stiffness. This invention has good engineering application value for gear tooth design optimization and ensuring the operational stability of mechanical equipment.
