Design and evaluation of two-stage planetary gearbox for special-purpose industrial machinery

초록

The gearbox, as a traditional machine that changes the transmission ratio and transfers power safely, stably, quietly and efficiently, is an irreplaceable component in the field of machinery design. The planetary gear train is the most widely used of the traditional gearbox designs. Although scholars have carried out a variety of research on gearboxes, gear failures, noise and other issues are still common. This article presents a study involving the initial macro geometry design, gear flank modification, static and dynamic analysis, and experimental verification of a two-stage planetary gearbox for special-purpose industrial machinery. Compared to traditional static transmission error simulation, this study presents a novel analysis of the gearbox overall dynamic transmission error. In this research, the modal flexibility is also analyzed to determine the possibility of resonance in the gearbox. As a result, the strength of this gear system is guaranteed by macro design. PPTE (noise evaluation index) of each gear pair is greatly improved after flank modification. The efficiency of power transmission system is also improved with the improvement of vibration. The result of final bench test of the prototype is also quite satisfactory. This also verified the correctness of the theoretical simulation method presented in this research.
