Abstract:
To improve load capacity and transmission characteristics of crossed-axis helical gear drive, a generation approach of the gear pair with small-angle based on the curve contact element is proposed. Contact principle based on spatial curve meshing relationships is introduced and geometric models of tooth profiles are developed according to a pair of mated conjugate curves. Furthermore, a mathematical model of crossed-axis helical gear drive with small-angle is established. Numerical examples are illustrated for this research using the 10° shaft angle, and the computerized simulation is also developed based on the solid models. According to gear geometry and finite element method, general characteristics including undercutting conditions, sliding ratios and contact stress for tooth profiles are analyzed. Comparisons with crossed-axis involute gears are also carried out. Finally, the gear prototype is processed using the gear milling method and a basic performance test is conducted. Analysis results show that the new gear pair has well contact characteristics. Further studies on the dynamic analysis and precision manufacturing method will be carried out.
