The Precise Measurement Technology for Manufacturing Error of Cycloidal Gear Used in RV Reducer

Abstract:

According to problems in manufacturing and measuring process of cycloidal gear used in RV reducer, the profile coordinates of cycloidal gear captured by three coordinates measuring instrument Surveying and mapping do not coincide with the designed tooth profile coordinates in theory, it is difficult to precisely capture the addendum and dedendum of each cycloidal gear teeth, furthermore, the captured addendum and dedendum do not coincide with the actual tooth items. For these problems, this paper introduced a method can accurately calculating the manufacturing error of cycloidal gear.Based on the captured coordinate points of cycloidal gear tooth profile, firstly, find out 39 approximate addendums by calculating and comparing the radial radius of all points, divide the whole scanning points into 39 profile points groups by the 39 approximate addendums, with each group include a whole single tooth profile. Then, in each profile points group, interpolate the spline and precisely calculate the addendums and dedendums by fitting and recalculating radial radius.Set up the coordinate system of surveying and mapping profile by the 39 addendums. calibrate the coordinate system of surveying and mapping profile with the new coordinate system through coordinate transformation, calculate the radial runout error at top and root of tooth profile, pitch error, adjacent pitch error and accumulated pitch error as well as other manufacturing errors of the cycloidial gear at last.Through experiment, this process solve the problem in measuring process of cycloidal gear that the captured point by three coordinates measuring instrument could not be directly used for calculating the errors items.
