The invention relates to the technical field of
mechanical engineering, and discloses a
tooth surface contact stress calculation method for a multistage parallel shaft
gear transmission system. Compared with the prior art that the gear surface contact stress is calculated only according to the gear structure, the influence of the
system structure flexibility on the gear meshing characteristic is neglected, and consequently the calculation of the gear surface contact stress is inaccurate, the technical scheme is combined with the structural characteristics of the
system, and the multi-stage parallel shaft
gear transmission system is dispersed into a plurality of basic units; a
stiffness matrix of a system is established by calculating a
stiffness matrix of each basic unit, then a
statics equilibrium equation set of the system is established according to working condition information and a
load vector, the meshing misalignment amount of a gear pair is obtained by solving the
statics equilibrium equation set of the system, and the
tooth surface contact stress is calculated according to the meshing misalignment amount. According to the technical scheme, the influence of a flexible structure on the system is comprehensively considered, and more accurate calculation of the
tooth surface contact stress of the multistage parallel shaft
gear transmission system, which is more suitable for practical application, is realized.
