As the most important working area of gear, teeth play the role of transmitting load and power. Tooth line and tooth profile are the two main characteristics of the tooth surface, which affect the shape of the tooth surface, tooth meshing characteristics and contact characteristics. Taking the elliptical cylinder gear pair in the reversing device of a new type of drum pumping unit as the research object, the dynamic meshing process of the gear is simulated by LS-PREPOST software based on loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) technology. The distribution law of the effective plastic strain, effective stress and tooth surface pressure in the direction of the tooth line and tooth profile as well as the tooth meshing force under different speed conditions are obtained. The results show that the effective plastic strain, effective stress and tooth surface pressure will decrease with the transition of the center position of the elliptical contact area on the tooth surface to both sides. The distribution of stress and strain in the direction of tooth line will change with the location of the teeth, and the rotational speed has a certain influence on the meshing force of the teeth. The results of this research can provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent analysis of the dynamic meshing characteristics and modification of non-circular gear.

In order to study the dynamic meshing characteristics of the elliptic cylinder gear and obtain the meshing error of the gear transmission system, the two-dimensional static contact analysis of the gear tooth surface is carried out using ANSYS software, and the key parts of the contact area of the tooth surface are determined. Then, the dynamic meshing model of the elliptic cylinder gear is established and the dynamic contact process under load is simulated by ANSYS LS-DYNA software. The distribution law of effective plastic strain, effective stress and pressure of the driving and driven wheels are obtained. On this basis, the distribution law of meshing error is obtained by calculation. The results show that the distribution of stress, strain and tooth surface pressure during tooth meshing is related to the position of the tooth on the elliptical pitch curve. The position of the tooth on the pitch curve and the load it bears has a certain influence on the meshing error. The results of this research can provide some guidance for subsequent study of transmission error of non-circular gears, gears modification and engineering applications.
