A Novel Gear Honing Machine Parameter Design and Finite Element Analysis Based on the Principle of Dislocation Axis Line Contact

Abstract

Abstract The characteristics of the dislocation axis line contact gear space transmission was analyzed in order to study the new precision gear honing machine prototype which could be clamped and formed at one time, and a pair of dislocation axis involute helical gears in space was designed from the most basic principle of involute gear meshing. The vertical dislocation axis line contact the worm and worm gear (helical gear) transmission mechanism were formed, when two gears had equalent normal base diameter and the sum of their base-circle spiral angles was equal to 90°. According to worm drive relationship of the vertical dislocation axis line contact, the helical gear tooth surface was honed through the worm could be used as a grinding wheel of the honing machine. Grinding wheels with different parameters could be used to machine bevel gears with different modulus, different numbers of teeth and different tooth widths. The finite element analysis and optimization showed that the prototype of the machine tool was reasonable, and the first-order natural frequency is 341.8Hz, which was much higher than the working frequency of 30Hz to avoid resonance.
