The Impact

Based on space curve meshing theory, in this paper, we present a novel geometric design of a circular arc helical gear mechanism for parallel transmission with convex-concave circular arc profiles. The parameter equations describing the contact curves for both the driving gear and the driven gear were deduced from the space curve meshing equations, and parameter equations for calculating the convex-concave circular arc profiles were established both for internal meshing and external meshing. Furthermore, a formula for the contact ratio was deduced, and the impact factors influencing the contact ratio are discussed. Using the deduced equations, several numerical examples were considered to validate the contact ratio equation. The circular arc helical gear mechanism investigated in this study showed a high gear transmission performance when considering practical applications, such as a pure rolling process, a high contact ratio, and a large comprehensive strength.

This paper proposes a new type of double-crowned helical gear that can be continuously cut on a modern Cartesian-type hypoid generator with two face-hobbing head cutters and circular-arc cutter blades. The gear tooth flank is double crowned with a cycloidal curve in the longitudinal direction and a circular arc in the profile direction. To gauge the sensitivity of the transmission errors and contact patterns resulting from various assembly errors, this paper applies a tooth contact analysis technique and presents several numerical examples that show the benefit of the proposed double-crowned helical gear set. In contrast to a conventional helical involute gear, the tooth bearing and transmission error of the proposed gear set are both controllable and insensitive to gear-set assembly error.

The two gears of the double circular-arc helical gear is a mesh of a concave/convex combination. Because the curvature is close to each other, the strength also increased and thus, it is often used in heavily-loaded workplaces. The national standard for double circular-arc helical gear (ex., GB12759-91) is based on the size of the gear module to design its tooth profile. This shows that tooth geometric-related designs are quite complicated. If the effect of the different pressure angle parameter is considered, we would be unable to conduct relevant studies for the original standard formula with a double circular-arc helical gear set at a pressure angle of 24°. Firstly, this paper would redefine a new double circular-arc helical gear according to the discontinuousness tooth profile molded line of the double circular-arc helical gear and unchangeable pressure angle and explain the improvements in the design and stress analysis of the tooth especially since the double circular-arc helical gear has no limitation in the minimum number of teeth. Thus, the decrease in the driving gears’ number of module and can further increase the reduction gear ratio. For heavily-loaded planetary gear reducer, it’s quite obvious in the miniaturizing and high torque superiority. This paper also used certain winch’s speed reducer as example to explain that the change of the pressure angle can reduce contact stress by 3%~40% and also enhances the torque ability by 3%~40%.

Helical Gear Pair

This paper investigates the contact ellipse of a helical gear set, composed of an involute pinion and a modified circular-arc gear based on curvature analysis. This gear drive exhibits point contact and parabolic transmission error due to the double crowning effect of the gear, i.e. crowning in both profile and longitudinal directions. The principal directions and curvatures of the generating tool surfaces were derived by means of differential geometry and Rodrigues’ equation. The principal directions and curvatures of the pinion and gear surfaces were obtained directly from the generating surfaces. Finally, the determination of the contact ellipses of the mating tooth surfaces was achieved. Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the computational results.

Center Distance

A mathematical model of a modified helical gear train (MHGT), manufactured with a practical hobbing machine using a curved-template guide, and which takes considerations of center-distance variation and axial misalignment into account, is developed. Tooth contact analysis (TCA) and kinematic errors of a MHGT due to mis-assembly are investigated. A multiple optimization method is applied to reduce the level of MHGT kinematic errors, and to investigate optimal gear tooth modifications. Computer simulation programs for TCA and optimization are also developed. Two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the kinematic optimization of the proposed helical gear train. The results of this study are most helpful in designing and analyzing a MHGT.

The Impact

Based on the space curve meshing equation, in this article, a geometry design of a novel circular arc helical gear mechanism with pure rolling for parallel transmission was presented. Different from conventional circular arc gears, the meshing points of circular arc helical gears were limited at the instantaneous centre of rotation. The parameter equations describing the contact curves for both the driving gear and the driven gear were deduced from the space curve meshing equation, and parameter equations of the concave–convex circular arc profiles were established both for internal meshing and external meshing. Furthermore, a formula for the contact ratio was presented, and the impact factors influencing the contact ratio were discussed. Then, the parameter design was presented for the geometry parameters of tooth profiles, such as normal pitch, tooth height and tooth thickness. Using the deduced equations, several numerical examples were then considered, and prototype samples were produced to experimentally validate the contact ratio equation and the theoretical kinematic performance. The circular arc helical gear mechanism investigated in this study showed a high gear transmission performance such as a pure rolling meshing, a high contact ratio and a large comprehensive strength, when considering engineering applications.
