Description

Technical Field

[0002] Helical gear transmission systems are widely used in the new energy vehicle field due to their advantages such as high load-bearing capacity, precise transmission ratio, smooth operation, and high reliability. Under high-speed, heavy-load, and complex operating conditions, the actual dynamic behavior of the gear system depends not only on the elastic deformation of the structure itself but also on the coupled influence of the characteristics of the lubricating oil film between the tooth surfaces and the tribodynamic behavior. Therefore, establishing a rigid-flexible coupled dynamic model that can simultaneously reflect structural flexibility, lubrication state, and frictional excitation is an important theoretical foundation for accurately predicting the vibration and noise of gear systems and thus achieving high-performance gear transmission optimization design.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a rigid-flexible coupling modeling method for gear transmission systems that considers lubrication and friction. Based on elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory, this method strongly couples and unifies the solutions for lubricating film pressure distribution, oil film thickness, time-varying friction coefficient, and rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model within the same framework. This achieves coordinated calculation of the elastohydrodynamic lubrication state, rough interface friction behavior, and structural flexible deformation during gear meshing, thereby improving the accuracy of the model solution.

[0007] During the entire meshing process, the contact point on the end face of the helical gear moves along the trajectory of the meshing line. Due to the helix angle of the helical gear, the length of the contact line between the gears is not constant during the meshing process. The meshing speed, radius of curvature, and contact load will change instantaneously. In order to accurately describe this series of processes, combined with the geometric characteristics of helical gear meshing, the helical gear meshing process can be equivalent to the rolling motion of two relatively moving cones.
