Abstract

Abstract:

To address the noise issues caused by the near-coincidence of partial tooth surface textures with transmission contact lines during the honed gear transmission， the optimization method of honing wheel geometric parameters for lower-noise textures was conducted. Firstly， the influencing factors of honed tooth surface texture distribution were analyzed， and the model of texture distribution on the honed gear transmission contact line was established. Secondly， based on the finite element method， the influences of the position relationship between the tooth surface texture and the transmission contact line on the noise were analyzed. Then， a lower-noise honed tooth surface texture distribution strategy was proposed， and a honing wheel geometric parameter optimization model for lower-noise texture distribution was established. The case study shows that the gear processed by the optimized honing wheel exhibits decreased energy density in the vibration Campbell diagram compared to the original， and the noise level decreases significantly with increasing rotational speed. These results verify the effectiveness of the method.

摘要：

针对内啮合强力珩齿齿轮在传动时部分齿面纹理与传动接触线几乎重合导致出现噪声的问题，开展了面向低噪纹理的珩磨轮几何参数优化方法研究。首先分析珩齿齿面纹理分布的影响因素，并建立珩齿齿轮传动接触线上的纹理分布模型；然后基于有限元法分析齿面纹理与传动接触线间位置关系对噪声的影响，提出一种面向低噪的珩齿齿面纹理分布策略，并建立以低噪纹理分布为目标的珩磨轮几何参数优化模型。案例研究表明，采用优化后珩磨轮加工的齿轮，其振动坎贝尔图的能量密度相较之前有所改善，且随着转速的提高噪声水平明显下降，验证了所提方法的有效性。
