Investigation of Load Sharing and Dynamic Load Characteristics of a Split Torque Transmission System with Double‐Helical Gear Modification

Abstract

A new dynamic model for a two-input two-path split torque transmission system which considers meshing error, time-varying meshing stiffness, and meshing-in impact is proposed. Time-varying meshing stiffness and meshing-in impact of each gear pair are accurately calculated based on tooth contact analysis and loaded tooth contact analysis. Equivalent displacements of eccentricity error and installation error along the meshing line of second- and third-stages gears are derived. The modified tooth surface of a third-stage double-helical gear is obtained by optimizing the amplitude of static loaded transmission error and meshing-in impact via nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). Influence of modification on load sharing and dynamic load characteristics of split torque transmission system is investigated. The results indicate that the system’s dynamic meshing force increases when meshing-in impact is accounted for, which is unfavorable for the transmission. Following the modification of a double-helical gear, the dynamic load characteristics of the split torque transmission system are significantly improved, while its load sharing characteristics are improved to a certain extent.

Modification and Noise Reduction Design of Gear Transmission System of EMU Based on Generalized Regression Neural Network

“…Comparing the simulation results indicates that proper modification can reduce the gear transmission vibration and noise [2]. Liu et al made a micro-modification of the gear, after which the trans-mission error of the gear pair was reduced by about 30%, and the contact stress was significantly reduced [3]. Xu et al studied the star gear system, and the conclusions proved that the gear modification could improve the gear transmission condition [4].…”

Load sharing performance analysis of planetary gear system considering the coupling effects of gear pair and journal bearing

“…Pedrero et al (2022) studied the influence of manufacturing error and mesh stiffness on uneven load and proposed the calculation method of corresponding influencing factors. Liu et al (2021) proposed a dynamic model for the transmission system considering meshing error, meshing stiffness, and meshing-in impact, optimized the modification parameters via genetic algorithm-II, and studied the effect of modification on load sharing performance. Ge et al (2021) derived the parametric differential equations of PTS to calculate the load sharing coefficient.…”
