The application relates to a contact
analysis method and application of an arc tooth
bevel gear based on
tooth surface topology modification, and belongs to the technical field of
gear transmission analysis. The method is as follows: based on basic geometric parameters and
machine tool
machining parameters of the arc tooth
bevel gear, a meshing equation and a
pinion conjugate
tooth surface equation are constructed, and then a topology modification model is obtained; based on the meshing equation and the
pinion conjugate
tooth surface equation, an instantaneous
contact line Gamma0 on the
pinion conjugate tooth surface is established, and then through projection and
inverse projection, an actual pinion tooth surface instantaneous
contact line Gamma1 corresponding to the Gamma0 is obtained; the contact area boundary of the tooth surface is demarcated through the topology modification model, and the Gamma0 and the Gamma1 are contact-aligned through an angular positioning angle; distance judgment and contact analysis are carried out on the contact-aligned instantaneous
contact line, and corresponding contact characteristics, namely a contact trace, a contact mark and a transmission error, are obtained. The method is helpful to improve the calculation stability of the contact
analysis method, reduces the calculation time, and can improve the design efficiency and quality of the arc tooth
bevel gear.
