Gear Trains

Planetary gear trains (PGTs) are widely used in various machines owing to their many advantages. However, they suffer from problems of noise and vibration due to the structural complexity and giving rise to substantial noise, vibration, and harshness with respect to both structures and human users. In this report, the sound level from PGTs is measured in an anechoic chamber based on human aural characteristic, and basic features of sound are investigated. Gear noise is generated by the vibration force due to varying gear tooth stiffness and the vibration force due to tooth surface error, or transmission error (TE). Dynamic TE is considered to be increased because of internal and external meshing. The vibration force due to tooth surface error can be ignored owing to almost perfect tooth surface. A vibration force due to varying tooth stiffness could be a major factor.

A New Technique

The most important step in the structural synthesis of planetary gear trains (PGTs) requires the identification of isomorphism (rotational as well as displacement) between the graphs which represent the kinematic structure of planetary gear train. Previously used methods for identifying graph isomorphism yielded incorrect results. Literature review in this area shows there is inconsistency in results from six link, one degree-of-freedom onwards. The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient methodology through the use of Loop concept and Hamming number concept to detect displacement and rotational isomorphism in PGTs in an unambiguous way. New invariants for rotational graphs and displacement graphs called geared chain hamming strings and geared chain loop hamming strings are developed respectively to identify rotational and displacement isomorphism. This paper also presents a procedure to redraw conventional graph representation that not only clarifies the kinematic structure of a PGT but also averts the problem of pseudo isomorphism. Finally a thorough analysis of existing methods is carried out using the proposed technique and the results in the category of six links one degree-of-freedom are established and an Atlas comprises of graph representations in conventional form as well as in new form is presented.

A torsional vibration model of the slewing mechanism of a hydraulic excavator is developed to predict its free vibration characteristics with consideration of many fundamental factors, such as the mesh stiffness of gear pairs, the coupling relationship of a two stage planetary gear trains and the variety of moment of inertia of the input end caused by the motion of work equipment. The natural frequencies are solved using the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Taking the moment of inertia of the input end for example to illustrate the relationship between the natural frequencies of the slewing mechanism and its parameters, based on the simulation results, just the first order frequency varies significantly with the moment of inertia of the input end of the slewing mechanism.

The concept of multi-attribute topological graph is proposed in this article to represent the characteristics of both structure and state for typical one-degree-of-freedom planar spur closed planetary gear trains. This method is well applied in power flow analysis and provides a graphical view for the types, values, directions, and transmission relationship of power flow, especially for the recirculation power representation. Furthermore, a template model of multi-attribute topological graph for closed planetary gear trains is also presented, which would be helpful to the multi-attribute topological graph generation for some certain types of closed planetary gear trains just by changing symbols in the template model. A corresponding software is also developed to make the analysis process more convenient. By inputting different parameters, the different visual results can be obtained automatically, thus benefiting engineers in conceptual design.
