Application of computer technologies for calculation of gears at studying of a course " Details of machines"

The computer program GearKURT has been created to calculate mechanical gears. The program allows you to calculate gears: - closed cylindrical spur gear - closed cylindrical helical gear - open cylindrical spur gear - Novikov's gear - closed bevel spur gear - closed bevel gear with indirect teeth - open bevel gear - worm-gear. The computer program has a dialog interface written in the object-oriented programming language Delphi and compiled into an exe-file. The program allows you to choose the necessary material and method of heat treatment for the manufacture of gears, to calculate the optimal geometric dimensions and transmission parameters, to determine the design of gears. The program provides all the necessary reference materials in the form of tables and graphs, which must be used to select the coefficients and other values necessary for calculations. The program provides access to the theoretical material of the course "Machine Parts" and the ability to save the results of calculations in a separate file. Recommendations for using this program are given.

Design and fabrication of wheel removing machine

The proposed system's basic premise is to reduce personnel during nut fitting and removing wheels from autos. The motor is at the heart of the project and its implementation. Motor, Nut fitting arrangement (multi nut remover), and spur gear arrangement are the components employed here for the efficient operation of separate blocks. The model's main goal is to remove all of a wheel's nuts at once, rather than one by one. The model's premise is to use a spur gear to transfer relative motion to other gears. The primary spur gear is connected to the motor shaft in the model, which rotates due to the motor. The primary gear is the driver, while the secondary gears are the driven. The major gear is located in the model's center. The secondary gears and the primary gear are in sync. To ensure precise meshing and tool spacing, the secondary gears are set at predetermined distances. The drive axle is equipped with primary gear. The cover has several auxiliary axles that extend through it. Each secondary axle has a first end that is positioned inside the housing and a second end that extends outwardly from the cover. One of the first ends is attached to each of several secondary gears. Each of the secondary gears is in contact with the primary gear. One of the secondary axles is connected to each of the couplers. The project and implementation must provide the motor with both positive and negative potential. If we press the corresponding switch for forwarding rotation, the nut will be fixed; if we press the corresponding switch for reverse rotation, the polarity will be reversed, and the nut will be removed. The motor can be controlled according to the needs of the operator. To tighten or remove the nut, the operator should lift the model and place it in the proper location.

Finite Element Analysis of a Spur Gear Considering Mass Relief Strategies

This paper deals with analyzing the structural influence of mass reliefs in spur gears. For this purpose, a system composed of pinion and a gear was designed, such that for gear several geometries were designed with different reliefs shapes and soul thicknesses. From the proposed geometries, finite element analysis (FEA) was performed, and the tooth stresses of each model were compared with the solid gear. From the results, it was observed that the tooth stresses are reduced in some cases. Besides, from the aforementioned cases, it is possible to observe that the maximum stresses may take place in its core instead of the teeth (rim area). On the other hand, based on other cases, the core thickness plays an important role as a criterion that defines the local stress.
