Research and Implementation of Tooth Surface Machining Allowance Uniform Distribution Processing Technology of Non-circular Gears

Abstract

Abstract: In order to solve the non-uniform tooth surface machining allowances of non-circular gears caused by the curvature variation of gear blank pitch curve in the multiple cutting cycles of non-circular gear machining， a tooth surface machining allowance uniform distribution processing technology for non-circular gears was proposed.Based on the principles of gear shaping， the shaping processes of non-circular gears were studied， and then the origins of the non-uniform tooth surface machining allowances of non-circular gears were analyzed.An uniform distribution processing technology shaping linkage model of non-circular gears was established， so that the tooth surface machining allowances might be distributed uniformly through the real-time adjustment of the geometric position relationship between the shaper and the gear blank.The non-circular gear shaping CAM system was developed， which was used to simulate the tooth surface machining allowance uniform distribution processing technology for non-circular gears， the simulation results show that the proposed processing technology is correct and feasible.The uniform distribution processing technology was integrated into the self-developed gear CNC system， and the actual shaping experiments of non-circular gears were conducted， the experimental results show that the proposed processing technology may uniformly distribute tooth surface machining allowances effectively.Finally， the 3D profile measurements of non-circular gear tooth surfaces were conducted， the measurement results show that the proposed processing technology may significantly improve the surface quality and machining accuracy of non-circular gears.

Key words: non-circular gear, gear shaping, machining allowance, uniform distribution processing technology, 3D topography
