Compared to the commonly used Low Contact Ratio Spur Gears (LCRG), High Contact Ratio Spur Gears (HCRG) can provide higher power to weight ratio, and can also achieve smoother running with lower Transmission Error (TE) variations. To achieve the benefits of High Contact Ratio Spur Gears (HCRG), its tolerance to manufacturing errors and elastic deformation has to be increased. After various attempts by previous researchers, double scope tooth profile modifications have been seen as being of major interest showing great potential for improvements in most applications. Research presented in this paper concentrated on providing further proofs and verifications on the topic by using modern numerical methods and comprehensive analysis. Additionally, a general Bulk Tooth Rotation (BTR) type tooth profile modification is introduced and applied to the High Contact Ratio Spur Gears (HCRG) in order to improve the tooth profile design and some common higher order analysis is shown allowing further comments to be made.

The tooth profile modification can generally choose straight line modification, parabolic modification and arc modification. In order to accurately determine the tooth profile modification curves, basing on analysis of the vibration that effected by transmission error, a pair of gears meshing process is simulated with FEM approach. Aiming at reducing the fluctuation of transmission error, the transmission error curves of straight line modification, parabolic modification and arc modification with the same modification parameters are plotted, and the best modifications curve is obtained. The research shows that the approach is accurate to choose the best modification curve, and reduce the fluctuation of transmission error greatly. The approach illustrated in this paper provides a new way for designing the noiseless gears.

In order to minimize the fluctuation of gear transmission error (GTE) about the planetary gear transmission. A method was developed to deciding tooth profile modification curves of planetary transmission. According to the condition of the invariable design load, computing the dynamic characteristics of the planetary transmission system under modified and un-modified gear. At the same time, the compare is carried through of the dynamic characteristics for modified and un-modified gear. The results of the dynamic calculation indicate that the profile modification method can make the amplitudes of gear mesh stiffness change calmness and reduce the amplitudes of gear mesh stiffness by this method in paper. At last, the conclusion can be obtained that the tooth profile modification can reduce the vibration and noise of the planetary transmission system.

Practical Applications

Aerospace applications require special procedures for component design and manufacturing. Spur gears of different designs, because of their simpler geometries, are used in vital units-transmissions of helicopters and alike aerospace vehicles. In this study, performances of various profile designs of previously researched low and high contact ratio spur gears with some realistic design parameters are studied. Effects of the realistic parameters of variable tooth pair stiffness, relief shape, and adjacent pitch error on Transmission Error (TE), tooth loads and root stresses are presented; composition of these parameters determines the efficiency of the gearbox assembly. Detail of minimization of tooth root stress through optimized/proper design of relief is described. More comprehensive comparison of the gear tooth profile design cases is done to be able to guide aerospace transmission designers for practical applications with realistic parameters for each of the design cases. A preference order is done among the design cases, depending on effect of some design parameters on the results such as tooth loads, tooth root stresses, TE curves and peak-to-peak TE values.

Universal Rule

Locomotive traction gear is the key component to power transmission and speed control in locomotive transmission system, which plays an important role in locomotive running speed and load-carrying torque. Considering that there is not universal rule for the method of modification of locomotive gear at present, in this paper, the tooth profile modification is considered with the combination of the increased contact ratio and the variation of the moment arm of action. Based on the principle of modification, according to the load direction after modification, the change rule of moment arm of action after modification is determined, and the interval range of tooth profile modification is also determined. Taking a certain locomotive traction gear as an example, the results obtained through the method of modification which based on combining moment arm of action variation with the increase of contact ratio and the method based on the traditional empirical formula are compared through finite element simulation respectively, on this account to verify the superiority of the theory of modification, which has important theoretical significance for profile modification of locomotive traction gear.

The Impact

This study investigates the impact of tooth profile modification on planetary gear dynamic response. Micro-scale geometric deviations from an involute gear tooth profile add an additional excitation source, potentially reducing gear vibration. In order to take account of the excitation, tooth profile modification is included in an analytical planetary gear model. Nonlinearity due to tooth contact loss is considered. Time-varying mesh stiffness and both rotational and translational gear motions are modeled. The accuracy of the proposed model for dynamic analysis is correlated against a benchmark finite element analysis. Perturbation analysis is employed to obtain a closed-form approximation of planetary gear dynamic response with tooth profile modification. Mathematical expressions from the perturbation solution allow one to easily estimate the peak amplitude of resonant response using known parameters. Variation of the peak amplitude with the amount and the length of profile modification illustrates the effect of tooth profile modification on planetary gear dynamic response. For a given external load, the tooth profile modification parameters for minimal response are readily obtained. Static transmission error and dynamic response are minimized at different amounts of profile modification, which contradicts common practical thinking regarding strong correlation between static transmission error and dynamic response. Contrary to the expectation of further reduced vibration, the combination of the optimum sun-planet and ring-planet mesh tooth profile modifications that minimizes response when applied individually increases dynamic response.

Tooth Pair

Profile modifications are commonly used to avoid shocks between meshing gear teeth produced by the delay of the driven gear, and the subsequent sooner start of contact, due to the teeth deflections. A suitable tip relief at the driven tooth shifts the start of contact to the proper location at the theoretical inner point of contact. The shape of the relief governs the loading curve of the tooth pair, while the length of relief determines the intervals in which this actual loading curve differs from the theoretical one of unmodified teeth. As at least one tooth pair should be in contact at the unmodified involute profile interval, the length of modification should be smaller than the length of the intervals of two pair tooth contact; otherwise, a shock at the end of contact of the previous pair is unavoidable. However this problem does not occur for high contact ratio spur gears, in which at least two couples of teeth are in contact at any moment. In this work, a study on the load sharing and the quasi-static transmission error for high contact ratio spur gears with long profile modification has been performed, and a model for the tooth contact has been developed.
