Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nonlinear dynamics of non-circular gear transmissions, and in particular to a dynamic modeling method for a differential drive non-circular gear transmission system. Background Technology
[0002] Non-circular gears can achieve predetermined instantaneous transmission ratio changes through non-uniform pitch curves, making them suitable for mechanical systems requiring differential, variable speed, or periodic motion modulation. For differential drive devices such as rotary opposed piston engines, two sets of non-circular gear pairs typically need to achieve continuous variable transmission ratio output within a limited space, and their operating state directly affects transmission accuracy, vibration levels, and service reliability. Compared to ordinary cylindrical gears, non-circular gears exhibit variations in pitch curve curvature radius, instantaneous meshing position, and transmission radius with rotational angle during meshing, leading to periodic changes in meshing stiffness and damping. Simultaneously, tooth backlash, machining and assembly errors, and load fluctuations further introduce piecewise nonlinearity and periodic excitation, potentially causing complex dynamic behaviors such as bifurcation, chaos, disengagement, and impact shocks.
[0003] In related technologies, for example, Liu Dawei, Tan Wanxin, Jin Xin and Ren Tingzhi, in their article "Nonlinear Vibration Model and Impact Characteristics of Variable Speed Elliptical Gear Pump", established a nonlinear impact dynamics model that considers tooth elastic deformation, tooth backlash, static transmission error, meshing damping and cyclic load for a transmission system containing two-stage non-circular gear meshing pairs.
[0004] However, to simplify calculations, the time-varying meshing stiffness of both stages of non-circular gear meshing pairs is expressed as a simple harmonic function containing only the average component and the fundamental frequency component. For differential drive non-circular gear transmission systems, the radius of curvature, meshing position, and number of meshing teeth of the two sets of non-circular gear pairs change periodically under different input angles and installation phases. If the empirical simple harmonic function is still used to characterize the time-varying meshing stiffness, it is difficult to accurately reflect the actual meshing excitation and its influence on the nonlinear response of the system, thus leading to insufficient accuracy in predicting the system's stable operating range, bifurcation behavior, and impact threshold. Summary of the Invention

Based on this relationship, the current meshing point position is determined, and the curvature radii of the driving and driven gears at the current meshing point are obtained. The equivalent number of teeth of the two gears at the meshing point is calculated respectively. The total elastic deformation of the individual teeth involved in meshing under force is decomposed into Hertzian contact deformation, bending deformation, shear deformation, and axial compression deformation. Using the equivalent number of teeth and the tooth profile geometric parameters of the current meshing point, the stiffness components corresponding to the four deformations are calculated respectively.

Finally, this time-varying meshing stiffness obtained based on instantaneous curvature equivalence is introduced into the dynamic model of the differential drive mechanism's non-circular gear transmission system, enabling the dynamic equations to truly reflect the influence of the periodic changes in the radius of curvature, meshing position, and number of meshing teeth of the two sets of non-circular gear pairs on the system excitation under different input rotation angles and installation phases. Based on the conjugate meshing relationship of non-circular gears and the curvature variation law of pitch curves, this invention uses the instantaneous curvature equivalent circular gear method to calculate the time-varying meshing stiffness of non-circular gears during meshing. This avoids the excitation distortion caused by simplifying the meshing stiffness to a constant or empirical periodic function, and improves the accuracy of non-circular gear dynamic modeling.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] First, embodiments of the present invention provide a dynamic modeling method for a differential drive non-circular gear transmission system, specifically as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps: Step (1): Establish the pitch curve model of the differential drive non-circular gear transmission system. The differential mechanism is equivalent to four non-circular gears, and the parameters of the four non-circular gears are exactly the same. Therefore, this section only introduces the calculation of the pitch curve. The polar coordinate equation of the pitch curve of the non-circular driving wheel of the differential drive mechanism is:
[0022] (1) In the formula: A The length of the drive wheel's half-shaft is in mm; k 1 represents the eccentricity of the drive wheel; n 1 represents the order of the driving wheel; 1 represents the pitch curve polar angle of the driving wheel, in rad. r 1 represents the radial direction of the driving wheel pitch curve, in mm; p 1 represents the semi-groove diameter of the drive wheel joint curve, in mm.
[0023] Using the pitch curve of the driving wheel as a known condition, the pitch curve expression of the meshing non-circular driven wheel of the same order can be further obtained. When the driving wheel completes one full rotation cycle, i.e., when 1 changes from 0 to 2π, the cumulative rotation angle of the driven wheel should be exactly equal to one fundamental pitch curve cycle 2π / n2. To ensure that the starting point and ending point of the driven wheel pitch curve coincide and form a continuous closed profile, the closure constraint condition shown in equation (2) needs to be satisfied:
[0024] (2) In the formula: a This is the center distance between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, in mm. n 2 represents the order of the driven gear; k 2 represents the eccentricity of the driven wheel. r 2 represents the radial direction of the driven wheel pitch curve, in mm. p 2 is the semi-nominal diameter of the driven wheel pitch curve in mm, and 2 is the polar angle of the driven wheel pitch curve in rad.
[0025] In the design of non-circular gear pitch curves, ensuring a uniform tooth distribution along the pitch curve is crucial. This guarantees smooth gear meshing and reduces vibration and stress. To ensure a consistent tooth pitch throughout the entire pitch curve cycle, non-circular gears employ a tooth distribution method with equal arc lengths along the pitch curve. During a complete closed loop of the pitch curve, the total arc length of the pitch curve should be exactly equal to the number of teeth z2 of the driven gear and the single normal tooth pitch π. m n The product of . Therefore, the basic condition for uniform tooth distribution is:
[0026] (3) In the formula: m n Z1 is the normal module of the driven gear, in mm, and Z2 is the number of teeth on the driven gear.
[0027] The center distance between the driving and driven gears in the meshing theory a for: (4) In the formula: a The unit is mm; n 1 represents the order of the driving wheel; n 2 represents the order of the driven gear; k 2 represents the eccentricity of the driven wheel. A This refers to the long half-shaft of the drive wheel, measured in mm.
[0028] The equation of the pitch curve of the driven wheel is: (5) Equation (5) reflects the correspondence between the small rotation angles of the driving gear and the driven gear under the condition of non-slip conjugate meshing. That is, at any instantaneous meshing position, the rotation angle increment of the driven gear corresponding to the small angle rotated by the driving gear is jointly determined by the radial directions of the instantaneous pitch curves of the two gears. Integrating Equation (5) further yields the overall kinematic relationship between the polar angle 1 of the driving gear pitch curve and the polar angle 2 of the driven gear pitch curve.
[0029] Integrating equation (5) yields the following equation: (6) Step (2): Establish the time-varying meshing stiffness model of the instantaneous curvature equivalent circular gear, specifically as follows: Based on the pitch curves of the driving and driven gears, a correspondence is established between the rotation angle of the driving / driven gear and the arc length of the pitch curve. This relationship determines the current meshing point position, and the radii of curvature of the driving and driven gears at the current meshing point are obtained. The equivalent number of teeth for each gear at this meshing point is then calculated. The total elastic deformation of a single meshing tooth under load is decomposed into Hertzian contact deformation, bending deformation, shear deformation, and axial compression deformation. Using the equivalent number of teeth and the tooth profile geometry parameters at the current meshing point, the stiffness components corresponding to the four deformations are calculated. These components are then synthesized according to a series compliance relationship to obtain the time-varying meshing stiffness of the gear pair at the current meshing position.
[0030] Step (3): Establish a nonlinear dynamic model of the differential drive non-circular gear transmission system. Specifically, based on the pitch curve of the gear and the time-varying meshing stiffness, establish a dynamic model of the differential drive mechanism non-circular gear transmission system.
[0031] This invention provides a dynamic modeling method for a differential drive non-circular gear transmission system. First, the pitch curves of the driving and driven gears are obtained, and the radius of curvature at each point is determined. Based on this, a precise correspondence between the rotation angle and the arc length of the pitch curve is established to determine the actual meshing point position under any input rotation angle. Then, based on the actual radius of curvature of the two gears at the meshing point, the equivalent number of teeth is calculated. This equivalent number of teeth is then substituted into the potential energy method to calculate the stiffness components corresponding to four deformations: Hertzian contact, bending, shearing, and axial compression. The single-tooth pair meshing stiffness at this meshing position is synthesized according to the series compliance relationship, thereby directly mapping the geometric characteristic of the non-circular gear's radius of curvature continuously changing with the rotation angle to the true time-varying law of meshing stiffness. Finally, this time-varying meshing stiffness obtained based on instantaneous curvature equivalence is introduced into the dynamic model of the differential drive mechanism's non-circular gear transmission system, enabling the dynamic equations to truly reflect the influence of the periodic changes in the radius of curvature, meshing position, and number of meshing teeth of the two sets of non-circular gear pairs on the system excitation under different input rotation angles and installation phases. Based on the conjugate meshing relationship of non-circular gears and the curvature variation law of pitch curves, this invention uses the instantaneous curvature equivalent circular gear method to calculate the time-varying meshing stiffness of non-circular gears during meshing. This avoids the excitation distortion caused by simplifying the meshing stiffness to a constant or empirical periodic function, and improves the accuracy of non-circular gear dynamic modeling.
[0032] Optionally, establish the correspondence between the rotation angle of the driving / driven wheel and the arc length of the pitch curve, including the following steps: Based on the non-slip conjugate meshing condition, establish the small rotation angle of the driving wheel. d 1. Small rotation angle with the driven wheel d The instantaneous relationship between 2; Integrating the instantaneous relationship yields the global kinematic mapping between the polar angle 1 of the active wheel pitch curve and the polar angle 2 of the driven wheel pitch curve. The meshing point position of the two gears and the corresponding pitch curve arc length under any input rotation angle are determined by global kinematic mapping.
[0033] Complete steps (2): Establishing a time-varying meshing stiffness model of an equivalent circular gear with instantaneous curvature, including the following steps: set up Z r1 This represents the number of teeth on the driving gear under the equivalent circular gear condition. Z r2 Given the number of teeth of the driven gear under the equivalent circular gear condition, then the radius of curvature of its pitch curve relative to the driving gear at the current meshing point is... r 1. Radius of curvature of the driven gear pitch curve r The following relationship exists between the two: (7) The relationship between the tooth position angle and the arc length of the non-circular pitch curve can be expressed as: (8) The total deformation of non-circular gear teeth can be decomposed into Hertzian contact deformation, bending deformation, axial compressive deformation, and shear deformation, with corresponding potential energies of Hertzian potential energy, respectively.

[0035] (10) In the formula: L This refers to the tooth width, in mm. h x This represents the radial distance from any meshing point on the involute to the centerline of the gear, expressed in mm.

[0037] Calculate bending stiffness k b Shear stiffness k s and radial compressive stiffness k a : (12) (13) (14) In the formula: α The angle between the direction of the force at any contact point on the involute and the Y-axis is expressed in degrees. α 0 represents the pressure angle, measured in degrees (°). α 1 represents the angle between the force direction at the meshing point and the Y-axis, in degrees. α 2 is half of the base tooth angle, in degrees; α 3 is half of the half-tooth angle corresponding to the root circle, in degrees.
[0038] The curvature of a non-circular meshing gear pair at the instantaneous pitch curve is equivalent to the curvature of a corresponding circular gear. The comprehensive meshing stiffness of a single gear pair can be expressed as: (15) In this context, subscript '1' indicates the driving wheel and '2' indicates the driven wheel.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention, based on the characteristic that the curvature of the non-circular gear pitch curve changes with rotation angle, employs the instantaneous curvature equivalent circular gear method. This method equates the non-circular gear at different meshing positions to a circular gear with the same radius of curvature, and determines the instantaneous equivalent number of teeth accordingly. Then, the potential energy method is used to calculate the Hertzian contact stiffness, bending stiffness, shear stiffness, and axial compressive stiffness, respectively, and the stiffnesses of each component are synthesized to obtain the comprehensive meshing stiffness of a single tooth pair. For the double-tooth meshing interval, the stiffnesses of the tooth pairs simultaneously participating in meshing are superimposed to finally obtain the time-varying meshing stiffness of the non-circular gear that varies with rotation angle or time.
[0040] Optionally, a dynamic model of the non-circular gear transmission system of the differential drive mechanism is established, including the following steps: like Figure 2As shown, the transmission system in this embodiment of the invention includes a first driven gear 1, a first driving gear 2, a second driving gear 3, and a second driven gear 4. The first driving gear 2 and the second driving gear 3 are mounted on the same input shaft and rotate synchronously. The first driven gear 1 and the second driven gear 4 serve as output gears on both sides. The first driving gear 2 and the first driven gear 1 form a first non-circular gear meshing pair, and the second driving gear 3 and the second driven gear 4 form a second non-circular gear meshing pair. A fixed phase difference is set between the two sets of meshing pairs to form a differential coupling transmission relationship.
[0041] Based on the torsional angular displacement of each gear and the corresponding base circle radius, the equivalent displacement of each gear along the meshing line direction is obtained. Based on the equivalent displacement of the two gears in each meshing pair and the comprehensive error of the meshing pair, the relative displacement of the meshing pair is obtained. Based on the time-varying meshing stiffness and relative displacement of each meshing pair, the meshing force of the meshing pair is obtained. Based on the differential coupling structure, the torsional angular displacement of each gear, and the meshing force of each meshing pair, the torsional dynamic equations of each gear are established, and the dynamic model of the non-circular gear transmission system of the differential drive mechanism is obtained.

Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, after establishing the system dynamics equations and calculating the time-varying meshing stiffness, the fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical integration method is used to solve the system response. Eccentricity, input speed, tooth flank clearance, damping, and load torque are used as the main control parameters to obtain the variation law of the system's relative displacement response under different parameter conditions. This invention integrates time-varying meshing stiffness, piecewise nonlinearity of tooth flank clearance, comprehensive error excitation, and load torque into the system dynamics equations to analyze the steady-state and transient responses of the differential drive non-circular gear transmission system under different eccentricity, speed, tooth flank clearance, damping, and load conditions.

This invention, by defining impact state parameters and the impact threshold rotational speed, achieves a quantitative distinction between no-impact, single-sided impact, and double-sided impact states. It can further analyze the influence of eccentricity, tooth flank clearance, and load torque on the impact threshold rotational speed, providing a direct basis for identifying impact vibrations, assessing impact risks, and selecting operating conditions in gear transmission systems.
