Dynamic Analysis of Silent Chain Drive System for Hybrid Car

Abstract:

Based on study of the power transmission system theory for hybrid car, a silent chain drive system which is used to transmit power between motor and gear box was designed. Using multi-body dynamic software RecurDyn, the dynamic behavior of the silent chain system was simulated, the chain tension, meshing impact load and instantaneous transmission ratio of the drive system under different velocity was analyzed. The results show that, at the whole speed range, the chain tension is always less than the chain rotation fatigue strength (including a safety factor of 1.3 times), its able to meet the working requirements, the instantaneous impact load when link plate meshing into sprocket relate to chain tension and sprocket rotation speed, the transmission error of silent chain system is within the allowable range and can meet the transmission requirement.
