Optimal Design of Modified Cylindrical Gear Based on Minimum Flash Temperature of Tooth Surfaces

Abstract:

Considering the gap of the contact line of modified involute cylindrical gears influencing on loads, oil film thickness, the friction coefficient was determined on the basis theory of TCA、 LTCA and EHL. so oil film thickness and friction coefficient corresponded with loads on contact line were dispersed, which was used to computed discrete temperature according to the Blok flash temperature formula. and an approach of modified tooth surface optimum design based on the minimum flash temperature was proposed: the modified tooth surfaces was defined as a sum of theoretical tooth and cubic B-spline fit surface based on the uniform grid points created by double parabolas and a straight line and whose normal vector was deduced, besides, used genetic algorithm to optimize the parameter of curve, and get the best modified gear tooth surfaces. the results shows that oil film is thicker in engaging-out, coefficient of friction is contrary, which is responsible for lower flash temperature in engaging-in, besides the flash temperature has little changes in the single tooth meshing zone, and helical gear has a lower flash temperature than spur gear due to higher overlap ratio.
