摘要:Gears are the most widely used transmission parts in the modern mechanical transmission system. The precision and surface quality of gear tooth profiles have great influence on the precision, smoothness, reliability and noise of gear transmission. The machining process of gears usually goes through the process of initial cutting, heat treatment, initial grinding and fine grinding, etc. However, there are still some problems after grinding, such as grinding marks, difficulties in further reducing the surface roughness and uneven distribution of surface roughness along the tooth profile. At present, gear profile polishing after grinding is one of the effective ways to solve the above problems. In this study, the main methods of tooth profile polishing are classified into electrochemical honing, abrasive flow machining, magnetorheological finishing and shear thickening fluids polishing. The machining principle of the current main gear tooth profile polishing methods is described in detail. Examples of various processing methods are listed. The advantages and problems of each machining method are summarized from the aspects of the range of machining adaptation, machining efficiency, the improvement rate of the surface roughness of the polished tooth profile and the requirements for the machining equipment. The results show that the combination of other auxiliary energy fields such as ultrasonic, laser and magnetic field with traditional polishing methods to achieve high efficiency, high precision and high surface consistency tooth profile polishing will be the main research direction in the future.
摘要:The accurate calculation of the backlash of harmonic reducers is crucial for the study of transmission performance, load capacity calculation, and tooth profile design of harmonic reducers. The current research is based on the neutral line no-elongation theory, calculating the assembly of flexible gear tooth profile. Considering the fact that gear teeth grow in the flexspline outer surface, assembly will make flexspline outer surface deform, leading to deviation of gear teeth. In this study, the method for solving the no-load clearance is proposed based on the flexspline outer surface deformation. The results show that the new method for calculating the flexspline assembly may present tooth profile interference, which should be considered in tooth profile design or harmonic reducer design. The finite element method is used to verify the analytical solution, and the two results are basically consistent.

摘要:A deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based motion planning method is proposed to improve long planning elapse and lengthy path of the traditional planning algorithms for robotic manipulator movement in obstacle avoidance.

摘要:The central axis fitting accuracy of the axis rotation method determines the absolute positioning accuracy of the calibrated robot. In this study, two kinds of axis fitting methods are used, and their fitting accuracies are analyzed. The first kind is the traditional fitting method, which fits the measuring point as a circle and uses the normal vector through the center of the circle as the axis of the robot. The second kind is the improved fitting method, which uses the measuring point to fit the sphere and plane, and obtains the intersecting circle of the fitted sphere and plane. In order to avoid the large geometric parameter calibration error caused by the small error of the over-center normal vector in the traditional method, the line of the center of the double intersecting circle is used as the axis of the robot. Compared with the fitting results of the laser tracker software, the fitted center of the intersecting circle has higher accuracy. The axis vectors of the first and the second axes are used, the axis vector of the first axis and the projection of the axis vector of the second axis on the vertical plane of the first axis are respectively used as the direction vector of the robot base coordinate system, and the conversion matrix of the measurement point from the measurement system to the robot system is constructed. By comparing the measurement point difference after conversion of the two conversion matrices, the conversion matrix using the second axis directly as the base coordinate system direction vector has a large measurement point conversion error.

摘要:In order to solve the problem of calculation efficiency and accuracy of time-varying meshing stiffness of spur bevel gears, a slice calculation method of meshing stiffness of spur bevel gears considering the coupling effect of tooth pairs is proposed. Based on the slice discretization method, the bevel gear tooth and the gear body are discretized into several slices with the same width along the tooth width direction and the axis direction respectively, and the slices are expanded based on the back cone equivalence principle. When the slice width is small enough, the bevel gear can be approximated as a series of spur gears, and the meshing stiffness of each slice can be calculated by the energy method. In order to consider the coupling effect of multi-tooth meshing, the correction coefficient of gear stiffness is introduced in the calculation of double tooth meshing stiffness, which reduces the calculation error of double tooth meshing stiffness. The meshing stiffness model of bevel gears under the error condition is established. The meshing stiffness of spur bevel gears, the angular displacement of the center point of each slice and the load distribution of the tooth surface under the ideal and assembly error conditions are calculated and analyzed. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are verified by comparing with the finite element calculation results.

The mobile envelope grasping ability of the three-knuckle manipulator is shown by the simulation results. However, the disadvantage of uneven contact force distribution needs to be optimized for the current design.

摘要:The hemiplegic patients can't walk on their own due to the movement obstacle of one side of the lower limb caused by brain injury. The lower limb wearable walker can help them get the ability to walk, but if they want to walk out the normal gait like ordinary people, the gait planning of the lower limb wearable walker is necessary. Gait planning is the basis and key for man-machine coupling walking and maintaining stability. Firstly, through the analysis of the movement of each joint of the lower limb, the overall mechanism of the lower limb wearable walker is designed. Secondly the gait planning is carried out. The part between the joints of the leg of the walker is regarded as a homogeneous rigid link, nine special time points of each joint in the complete walking cycle are extracted, and the coordinates and angles of the joints at each time point are analyzed. Combined with the cubic spline interpolation method in Matlab software, the motion track of the joints is simulated. Finally,the gait planning data is analyzed to obtain the coordinates of the barycenter projection point, fit the motion track of the barycenter projection point, and analyze whether the track always falls in the support area. The results prove that the barycenter projection point is always in the supporting area, which indicates that the gait planning meets the stability requirements.
摘要:Due to the interpenetrating layout of each shaft for the 6R robot, the movement of one joint could affect the other joints. This mechanical coupling could result in the interference of each joint, and an error between theoretical model and actual model would affect the absolute positioning accuracy of the robot. The motion compensation method obtained the coupling amount by measuring the error between the target value and the actual value and the joint angles are compensated. However, an active decoupling method of 6R robot based on Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) parameters is provided. Firstly, the coupling of robot joints which is calculated through transmission analysis is added to the joint angle for 6R robot. Then, the D-H parameters with coupling are used in the forward kinematics, and the algebraic solution is used to obtain the inverse kinematics. The feasibility of the model is verified by the simulation of the workspace and kinematics through the Matlab robotic toolbox. At the same time, the simulation based on this method is built to compare with the motion compensation method. The above results prove that this method solves the motion coupling problems stemming from mechanical coupling, reduces the error of the robot end position and improves the robot positioning accuracy. Adding the linear coupling quantity to the joint variables does not significantly increase the calculation amount of kinematics for 6R robot, and the solution process is convenient.

摘要:There are many kinds of distortion of carburizing and quenching gears, but they will be reflected in the grinding amount of gear flanks. Through theoretical analysis and long-term production practice, it is found that the change of tip diameter has the greatest influence on the grinding amount, the change of the helix angle and the circumferential warpage of gear rims takes the second place, and other factors have relatively little influence. The empirical formulas for calculating the maximum and minimum grinding amount of the tooth flank are given, according to the change of the tip diameter and other parameters. These formulas can be used to determine the case-hardened depth (CHD) in drawings, the reserved grinding amount of gear flanks during gear hobbing, and the target CHD during carburizing and quenching. After carburizing and quenching, the maximum and minimum grinding amount and the actual CHD can be calculated and predicted according to these formulas, so as to provide guidance for subsequent production.

摘要:Aiming at the common key issues for gearbox vibration and noise, a certain type of subway car bogie gearbox has been regarded as the research object. The rigid-flexible coupling dynamics and vibration noise simulation model of the gearbox have been established by the LMS Virtual Lab software. The variable meshing stiffness, the dynamic bearing supporting load, the gearbox vibration, and the structural noise in the vicinity of the gearbox have been simulated and analyzed, and the vibration of the gearbox and the structural noise in the vicinity of the gearbox have been tested and verified. The results show that the time-varying meshing force of the helical gear pair of the subway car bogie gearbox and the dynamic load of the supporting bearing show a periodic fluctuation trend above and below a certain average value; the vibration of the gearbox body and the structural noise in the vicinity of the gearbox in the up and down, left and right direction are greater than those in the axial direction; the maximum relative errors between the simulated and experimental values of vibration and structural noise are respectively 14.61% and 3.77%, which can verify the rationality and correctness of the simulation analysis. The research provides a vibration and noise reduction for the theoretical basis and technical supporting of the subway vehicles and gearboxes.
摘要:In view of the problem that the vibration stress of the axle driven bevel gear of an aeroengine exceeds the permissible stress, a spiral ring friction damper is designed for the bevel gear. In detail, a concave groove is fabricated on the inside rim of gear wheels, in which the designed spiral damping ring is embedded. The circumferential deformation of the spiral damping ring is inconsistent with the gear rim under working conditions; thus the mutual friction is induced and the vibration energy could be consumed. The designed spiral damper is applied to the vibration reduction scheme of an aeroengine bevel gear. The test results show that the spiral damping ring can effectively reduce the vibration stress level of the bevel gear.The vibration reduction efficiency of the first-order, 4-pitch diameter backward traveling wave resonant vibration is about 70.7%, and that of the first-order, 3-pitch diameter forward traveling wave resonant vibration is about 53.4%. Then the vibration stress level of the gear after vibration reduction satisfies the allowable stress. Moreover, the spiral damper enjoys convenience in installation and disassembly, and possesses small additional imbalance, which leads to a promising and broad application for vibration reduction of aeroengine gears.

摘要:When using the process of metal powder injection molding (MIM) to prepare small module gears, in order to improve the quality and performance of the sintered parts of the gear, powder with different particle sizes is prepared. The sintering performance of the gear is analyzed by the melt flow meter, the porosity measurement software, the 2.5-dimensional image measuring instrument and the micro-Vickers hardness tester. The influence mechanism of particle sizes on the surface quality, porosity and shrinkage of gears is studied. The results show that due to the poor powder flow performance of the gear made of 5.0 μm powder, the powder concentration distribution is not uniform after sintering, there are black lines on the surface, and the dimensional shrinkage is not uniform, which affect the dimensional accuracy. Due to the poor sintering neck formation ability and slow diffusion process of the gear made of 9.0 μm powder, the porosity after sintering is high and the pore size is large. When the 7.0 μm powder is used to prepare the gear, the quality performance of the gear is the best. The gear has no surface defects, the porosity is reduced to 2.9%, the Vickers hardness value reaches 355, the shrinkage uniformity is high, the dimensional accuracy is high, and the accuracy of thetested items are better than class 7 according to the national standard GB 2363—1990.
摘要:By establishing the standard rack tool profile curve equation, using the VB.NET programming language to carry out secondary development in AutoCAD environment, the dynamic simulation program of the whole process of involute gears and root cutting is developed using the generating method to further study and explore the gear root cutting process and root cutting mechanism, and the maximum root cutting radius is accurately solved. The wrong conclusion that the maximum root cutting radius is equal to the distance between the center of rotation of the gear being machined and the intersection point between the top line of the tool teeth and the line of engagement is corrected. Based on this, the limiting conditions of the root cutting to the starting point of the working section of the big and small gear tooth profile and the interference at the root of the big and small gear are redetermined in the closed diagram selected by the displacement coefficient. Then the closure line chart of the modification coefficient selection can be drawn accurately.
摘要:In response to the current issues of wheel and shoe composite ladder wheelchairs, such as tire interference with the track, and collision between the wheelchair and the top platform during ladder climbing, a wheel shoe composite stair climbing wheelchair with a swing arm track chassis as the stair climbing mechanism and a new wheel shoe switching scheme is designed.

The up and down stairs mode and the wheel shoe switching mode of a wheelchair are simulated in RecurDyn software. The simulation results indicate that the wheelchair is smooth and safe during the process of ascending and descending stairs, and the theoretical values of the dynamics of the four stages of wheel shoe switching are consistent with the simulation situation. The research provides a theoretical basis for the mechanical structure design, electric push rod selection, and swing arm motor selection of this type of ladder wheelchairs.
