The invention provides a method for vibration characteristic analysis and structure optimization of a
gear system. The method comprises the following steps: S1, carrying out accurate modeling on a
tooth surface of a
bevel gear; s2, establishing a three-dimensional entity
simulation analysis model, and setting connections among components; s3, the unbalance amount is set on the structure of the
bevel gear; s4, setting a load working condition to carry out advanced
gear tooth bearing contact analysis, and calculating a transmission error and a deformation amount of a
gear system; s5, taking the transmission error and the initial deformation as input, and analyzing the change condition of the vibration characteristics of each key position of the
system along with the rotating speed under the excitation of the rotating frequency and the meshing frequency by adopting a
modal superposition method; and S6, in combination with a vibration characteristic analysis result and a
modal analysis result, judging a vibration generation reason, and optimizing the structure. According to the method, the
spiral bevel gear tooth surface is accurately modeled, the influence of different
machining tooth surfaces on the transmission error of the
gear system is considered, the calculated transmission error is used as excitation for vibration characteristic analysis, and the accuracy of analysis model input is improved.
