Analysis on inverse method for design parameters of involute spur gears with unilateral tooth profile wear
The failure of transmission gears in imported and aged equipment due to tooth flank wear often leads to premature scrapping of the entire machine
as original design data is frequently unavailable for repair or replacement. To address this issue
a method for reverse-engineering the design parameters of involute spur gears with unilateral tooth flank wear based on visual inspection was proposed.
Methods
2
Firstly
a high-precision visual inspection system was used to obtain the end face tooth profile images of the gear. Based on the principle of the gear structure
the tooth profile feature point sequences were effectively extracted and segmented. Then
the geometric characteristics of the involute tooth flank were utilized to accurately identify the worn tooth flank
which was then reconstructed using the standard tooth flank from the unworn side to obtain the original design tooth flank. Finally
the design parameters of the gear were solved by using the structural dimensions of the reconstructed involute spur gear tooth profile.
Results
2
The test results show that the gear modulus and pressure angle obtained by the proposed method are consistent with the theoretical values
and the absolute errors of the profile shift coefficient and other basic parameters are all less than 0.035 mm
meeting the requirements of manufacturing precision. In addition
the proposed method has the advantages of non-contact
simple operation
stable detection results
and being less affected by the degree of gear wear.
