The double enveloping hourglass worm gear pair is a type of transmission, which has many traits, such as more teeth in mesh for transmission, higher contact quality, better lubrication condition and so on. Therefore, it has higher efficiency of transmission, stronger bearing capacity and longer work life. But the manufacturing difficulty of the worm gear hob has limited its popularization and application. Unlike the traditional worm gear hob which can use the principle of optical projection to detect the hob shaft section and compare with its mathematical model, currently, there is no standard mathematical model to detect the shaft section of hourglass worm gear hob. Hence, the accuracy of hourglass worm gear hob can’t be guaranteed during manufacturing process, and the accuracy of hourglass worm gear can’t be guaranteed too. Thus, the transmission performance of the manufactured double enveloping hourglass worm gear pair will be affected. The paper puts forward a novel detection method for hourglass worm gear hob on the basis of the detecting method for traditional worm gear hob and established the mathematical model of the shaft section of hourglass worm gear hob. The manufacturing error of hourglass worm gear hob can be obtained through such detection. The paper also points out that the error is mainly produced during the grinding of hob teeth, because the grinding wheel is worn out and the blank hob is thermally deformed. At last, a method for error compensation is advanced during the process of hob grinding. The paper presents a test to verify the feasibility of this method and the test result shows that the manufacturing error of hourglass worm gear hob is reduced from 30.15μm to 10.3μm.

Land widths and relief angles of a dual-cone double-enveloping hourglass worm gear hob are important factors that influence the life and the hobbing performance of the hob. Both of them are obtained by generating relief surfaces of the hob. Due to the reason that all teeth of this type of hob have different profiles with each other, all of the relief surfaces are difficult to generate for keeping all cutting teeth with uniformed relief angles and uniformed land widths. For the purpose that land widths and relief angles could be machined precisely, this paper puts forward a designing and generating method for grinding the relief surfaces. The relief surfaces are ground using the same double-cone grinding wheel as grinding the helical surfaces of the worm. Based on the theory of gearing, the mathematical model for grinding relief surfaces is built. Motion parameters when grinding the different points of the land edges on different teeth of the hob are solved. A generating simulation is built by putting those motion parameters into a four-axis hourglass worm-grinding machine. The results of the simulation show that the relief surfaces can be ground continuously and the land widths and the relief angles meet the requirements.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss the method of determining the mathematical model used for calculating the amount of emulsion reaching directly the grinding zone during the hob sharpening process. Design/methodology/approach: The mathematical model, in the form of a multiple regression function, was determined based on the acceptance and rejection method. The data for the calculations was obtained by conducting numerical simulations of fluid flow in the Ansys CFX software. Findings: A mathematical model enables calculating the amount of efficient expenditure of emulsion reaching directly the zone of contact between the grinding wheel and workpiece (hob cutter rake face) at various nozzle angle settings and different nominal expenditures of emulsion. The verification of the mathematical relationship confirmed its accuracy. Research limitations/implications: Further research should focus on the other types of grinding process and other types of cooling and lubricating fluids. Practical implications: The mathematical model enables a selection and application in the workshop and industrial practice of various variants of emulsion supply during the grinding of hob cutter rake face. Analysis of the multiple regression equation created on the basis of the acceptance and rejection method also allows predicting changes in the analyzed numerical model. Originality/value: The literature review has shown that no research of this type has been conducted with regard to analyses and optimisation of the grinding process during hob cutter sharpening. The results of this research are a novelty on a worldwide scale.

Aiming at the dressing of involute grinding wheel, the mathematical model of involute interpolation is established. Taking the normal tolerance δ as accuracy index, the dense degree of interpolation points can be changed constantly with the change of developable angle increment △θ so that the numbers of interpolation points can meet the requirements not only for interpolating accuracy, but for interpolating efficiency. The wheel dressing software developed by using VC++ as programming tool can be applied for dressing the involute grinding wheel which can be used to grind involute gears with different teeth and modules. The results of simulation experiment verify the feasibility and correctness of the software.

In this paper, a mathematical model of meshing motion of three degree of freedom involute spherical gear pair is constructed. The mathematical model can realize continuous meshing transmission between gear pairs without transmission principle error. Based on the meshing principle and motion analysis of the gear, the tooth profile of the spherical gear is designed by combining the two tooth surfaces of the involute ring gear and the hemispherical bevel gear. According to the conjugate motion relationship of spherical gear pair, a mathematical model of arc tooth surface of hemispherical bevel gear is established, and the mathematical description of the tooth profile of spherical gear is completed by combining the equation of ring tooth surface. It provides the basis and Reference for the meshing design of ball gear.

In order to obtain higher cam quality, the research on the cam contour error is studied. The cam is machined in the way of X-C biaxial linkage motions. The linear motor drives the grinding wheel mechanism to get the motion of X axis, and the motion of C axis is the rotating of cam driven by the torque motor. Because of the servo-system-lag of the two axes, the cam contour error is formed in the X-C biaxial linkage motions. Moreover, the following position error of X axis and C axis is not same as the cam contour error. The relationship between axis following position error and cam contour error is studied. The mathematical model of cam contour error is constructed, the relationship between the cam contour error and the following position error are obtained. At last, the conclusion which the cam contour error can be controlled is made, although the following position error exists at the same time. To design the contour error controller for higher quality cam is based on the above conclusion.

A dual-lead worm gear set is frequently used for machines to operate without backlash, which can be adjusted along the worm’s axial direction. The ZK-type dual-lead worm is generated by a cone-type straight-edged grinding wheel while an oversize worm-type hob cutter cuts the worm gear. The dual-lead worm gear set has two different axial modules and helix angles for the right- and left-side tooth surfaces. The mathematical model involving ZK-type dual-lead worm and worm gear surface geometries is developed based on the theory of gearing and gear cutting mechanism. According to the proposed mathematical model, computer graphs of the ZK-type dual-lead worm gear drives have been presented. Coordinates of the meshed grid-point on gear drive surfaces can thus be determined by applying the numerical method. Undercutting of the worm gear surface has been investigated based on the theory of gearing and the developed gear set mathematical model. The gear set mathematical model developed herein can facilitate gear set tooth contact analysis, contact teeth, contact ratio and other advanced investigations.
