Research on Optimum Design and Simulation of Gear Reducer in Electric Steering Engine

Abstract:

Electric steering engine was generally applied in arm systems such as carrier rocket and missile, its life period is very short, and the space and weight of its reducer were strictly restricted, so it is not fit to adopt the conventional rule of infinite life to design electric steering engine gear reducer. This paper carried out the optimum design for it based on the rule of finite life and space, provided and demonstrated a new design scheme, and realized the interior overall structure design of reducer. We used the UG plane to realize three-dimension module design and virtual assembly of gear reducer, elaborated the implementation method of three-dimension motion simulation by the parameter drive mechanism, and simulated the actual working procedure. Experimental results indicated that this gear reducer satisfied excellently the requirement of big drive ratio under the finite life and space.
