A theoretical method is proposed in this paper to calculate the unit curve of gear integrated error (GIE). The calculated GIE unit curve includes the quasi-static transmission error (TE) curves of the approach stage, the involute stage, and the recession stage of the ZI worm and helical gear transmission. The misalignments between the two axes of the worm and gear, as well as the modifications or errors of the tooth flanks of the gear, are considered in the procedure of calculation. Optimization algorithm is introduced to replace the solving of implicit differential equations of the conventional tooth contact analysis (TCA) method. It is proved that the proposed method is clearer and more convenient than the conventional TCA methods in calculating the GIE unit curve. The correctness and merits of the proposed method are verified by two experiments.

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.

According to the principle of tri-branching, a mechanism structural model was developed to analyze the helical gear transmission system. On the base of loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA), the load transmission error of each gear stage is simulated at the any engagement position, and the fitting curves of the torsion mesh stiffness are obtained, which can improve the numerical precision. The research results can be applied to analyze the actual application of tri-branching transmission system and provide a firm foundation for study the power-split and load-sharing characteristics.

Comprehensive meshing stiffness and single tooth meshing stiffness are calculated by tooth contact analysis and load tooth contact analysis program. The corner meshing impact model is proposed. Nonlinear dynamic model of helical gear transmission system is established in this paper considering time-varying meshing stiffness excitation, transmission error excitation, corner meshing impact excitation, and the backlash excitation. Take the ship’s helical gear transmission system as an example, the mesh impact force is derived and the primary factors that produce noises are discussed. The effects which the mesh impact brings to vibration characteristics of the gear dynamic system are concluded. Meshing impact has an inevitable effect on the vibration of the dynamic system. Impact excitation costs 8.5% in maximum of vibration acceleration response, 31% in maximum of instantaneous acceleration, and 4.9% in maximum of spectral component amplitude.

Flank modification is widely used in helical gear to diminish contact stress and edge contact, to improve the transmission performance. In this paper, tooth contact analysis is used to simulate the modified helical gear driver with high-order parabolic modification curve. The results show that the transmission error is diminished, and the meshing area is non-sensitive to the alignment errors.

To improve the working performance of battery electric vehicle (BEV) high-speed helical gear transmission under full working conditions, combined with Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA) and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis (LTCA), the vibration model of single-stage helical gear bending-torsion-axis-swing coupling system considering time-varying mesh stiffness was established. The genetic algorithm was used to optimize the tooth surface with the objective of minimizing the mean value of the vibration acceleration at full working conditions. Finally, a high-speed helical gear transmission system in a BEV gearbox was taken as a simulation example and the best-modified tooth surface at full working conditions was obtained. Experiment and simulation results show that the proposed calculation method of time-varying meshing stiffness is accurate, and tooth surface modification can effectively suppress the vibration of high-speed helical gear transmission in BEV; compared to the optimally modified tooth surface under a single load, the optimal modified tooth surface under full working conditions has a better vibration reduction effect over the entire working range.

This paper is devoted to a phenomenon known as corner contact, or contact outside the normal path of contact, which can occur in spur and helical gear transmission systems under certain conditions. In this case, a change in position of the driven gear with respect to its theoretical position takes place, thus inducing a transmission error referred to here as the transmission error outside the normal path of contact (TEo.p.c). The paper deals with spur gears only, but the results are directly applicable to helical gears. It systematizes previous knowledge on this subject, suggests some further developments of the theory and introduces the novel phenomenon of top contact. The theoretical results are compared with experimental measurements using a single flank tester and a back-to-back dynamic test rig for spur and helical gears, and they are in good agreement. Convenient approximate equations for calculation of TEo.p.c suggested here are important for analysis of experimental data collected in the form of Harris maps. This will make possible the calculation of tooth stiffness values needed for use in theoretical models for spur and helical gear transmission systems.

The Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a gear set are fundamental aspects of its meshing behavior. To assess the validity of gear simulation models, the Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a Formate Hypoid gear set are measured under a variety of operating positions and applied loads. Measurement data are compared to simulation results of Tooth Contact Analysis and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis models, and show excellent agreement for the considered test gear set.

Abstract In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a multi-mesh helical gear train is studied. The gear train consists of three helical gears, with one of the gears in mesh with the other two. An 18-degree-of-freedom dynamic model which includes transverse, torsional, axial and rotational (rocking) motions of the flexibly mounted gears is developed. Two different loading conditions are identified. For case I, the system is driven by the gear in the middle, and for case II, the system is driven by one of the gears at either end of the gear train. Gear mesh phases under each loading condition are determined. The natural modes are predicted, and effects of the helix angle and the loading condition on the natural modes are explained. The forced response, which includes dynamic mesh and bearing forces, due to the static transmission error excitation is found. Effects of loading conditions and asymmetric positioning on the response are also explored. The results suggest that the dynamic forces are lower if the number of teeth of the gear in the middle is (i) an odd number for case I type loading, and (ii) an even number for case II type loading.
