Analysis on the Selection of Tooth Number for Closed Differential Planetary Gear Transmission Mechanism and Software Development

Abstract:

With the popularization of computer, the design of planetary gear trains is headed in the automatic direction. Based on the theoretical research of closed differential planetary gear transmission mechanism, a kind of software was developed to automatically calculate the tooth number with computer technology applied to the design of gear trains. Some research and analysis were done to the transmission mode of closed differential planetary gear transmission mechanism with the help of universal design method on gear trains. Five constraint conditions were summarized, which are gear ratio condition, adjacency condition, assembly condition, concentricity condition, and other conditions, and a optimum condition. With windows 7 as the platform, MyEclipse 8.5 as a tool, translating these conditional formulae into Java language, the software of the selection of tooth number for closed differential planetary gear transmission mechanism was developed. Multi-group datum of tooth number and also a set of optimal data can be obtained after running the software, which reduces the workload of manual calculation.
