Spiral bevel gear pair conjugate pinion tooth surface Σ 1 modification, in the field of calculation point m, it is bound to be able to construct a modified tooth surface of spiral bevel gear pinion that is out of tangent in the other neighborhood tangent to point m, which is called contact tooth surface Σ s. The corresponding principal direction and principal curvature are recorded as:
1. Topology of tooth surface contact area of spiral bevel gear
stay Σ s、 Σ The difference surface constructed along the normal direction between 1 is called ease off surface Σ d. It reflects the loss of tangent of conjugate tooth surface of spiral bevel gear. In the field of point m, this surface can be replaced by a close surface with the shape of formula (5):
Where, ZD direction is the same as the normal direction of point m, (XD, YD), (KA, KB) are differential tooth surfaces respectively Σ Principal direction and principal curvature of D. They determine the size, shape and direction of the contact area.
According to the theorem, the close surface represented by the formula can replace the ease off difference tooth surface for surface analysis. The contour of the formula is an elliptic curve, ZD = 0.006, and the contour of 35mm represents the tooth surface contact area of spiral bevel gear (Fig.). Assuming that the lengths of the major and minor axes of the contact area ellipse are a and B respectively, the following formula can be obtained:
The asymptotic direction in the meshing movement of the two tooth surfaces of spiral bevel gear, that is, the tangent direction of the contact path of the spiral bevel gear tooth surface, and the included angle Q with the first principal direction XD of the ease off surface is:
The normal curvature KS in this direction reflects the loss of tangent of the tooth surface along the contact path, and its normal section is a parabola, that is:
