The spherical gear is a new type of gear proposed by Mitome et al. [1]. Different from that of the conventional spur or helical gear sets, the spherical gear set can allow variable shaft angles and large axial misalignments without gear interference during the gear drive meshing [1, 2]. Geometrically, the spherical gear has two types of gear tooth profiles, the concave tooth and convex tooth. In practical transmission applications, the contact situation of a spherical gear set is very complex. To obtain a more realistic simulation result, the loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) has been performed by employing the finite element method (FEM). According to the derived mathematical model of spherical gear tooth surfaces, an automatic meshes generation program for three-dimensional spherical gears has been developed. Beside, tooth contact analysis (TCA) of spherical gears has been performed to simulate the contact points of the spherical gear set. Furthermore, the contact stress contours of spherical gear tooth surfaces and bending stress of tooth roots have been investigated by giving the design parameters, material properties, loadings and boundary conditions of spherical gears.

The ring-involute tooth spherical gear with two degrees of freedom is considered as the research object. Through the combination of theory and experiment, a further study is conducted on it. According to the theory of rapid prototyping, comprehensive consideration of the ring-involute teeth spherical gear tooth profile surface forming principle and transmission features, traditional machining method, transmission error and the actual application, a fast processing method of the ring-involute tooth spherical gear is proposed. Spherical gear model is built in Solidworks surface modeling environment. Through the use of rapid prototyping equipment, the ring-involute tooth spherical gear is worked out. Tooth root thick, addendum thickness and transmission error of spherical gear is further measured on this basis with the method of rapid forming. Basic parameters meet the requirements. The rapid prototyping processing method is proved to be practical, effective and valuable.

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.

A new type of spherical gear drive, which takes micro-segment involute profile as tooth profile, is presented in this paper. The generation principle of the spherical gear is described. The mathematical models including the equation of micro-segment involute profile, the equation of the conjugate tooth profile and the engagement equation, are established based on the meshing theory. This new type of spherical gear drive has the potential to improve the load capacity and the performance of spherical gear transmission.
