Contact finite element simulation results and analysis

By contacting the secondary solid gear transmission systemIterative solution of finite element model to obtain gear pairs at all levelsThe distribution of contact stress along the tooth width direction is shown in Figure 3.It can be observed that for spur gear transmission systems, the contact areaThe Hertz contact width along the tooth profile direction is extremely small, thus formingIt has become a narrow contact narrowband. Spur Gear And due to the maximum loadUnder use, different degrees of bending and torsion coupling changes were generated in each axisTherefore, the contact stress on the tooth surfaces of all levels of gear pairs is presentedThere are varying degrees of biased loading phenomena.

The influence of web offset on contact stress distribution

For web type gears,Spur Gear the web plateThe distribution of contact stress on the tooth surface along the tooth width direction is affected by the structureSignificant impact. Therefore, the contact stress on the tooth surface follows the tooth width squareThe distribution of the direction is affected by both the web structure and axial flexibilityIn order to improve the tooth surface joint caused by shaft deformationThe phenomenon of contact stress deviation can provide a reasonable solution for the web structureBias design to compensate for the phenomenon of contact stress bias loadingCompensation. Integrate the large gear bodies of high-speed and low-speed gear pairsThe structural design is a web type gear, Spur Gear with a high-speed large gear web plateThe cross-sectional view without bias is shown in Figure (a), with the thickness of the web plate14mm; Cutting of low-speed large gear belly plate without biasAs shown in Figure (b), the thickness of the web plate is 21mm.

Solid gear tooth surface connection considering shaft flexibilityThe biased load situation of contact stress along the tooth width direction, for high-speed stagesThe large gear is offset to the right on its belly plate, Spur Gear thereby causing the gear to rotateThe flexibility increases sequentially from left to right, thereby improving its left end connectionThe phenomenon of biased loading with high contact stress, and the setting of the offset amount of the web plate is as followsAs shown in the table.
