    The analysis of meshing process of involute spur gear is an important basis to judge the transmission quality,and especially contact stress,transmission error and meshing stiffness are key indexes. According to the TCA model of spur gear,curvature radii in different meshing points are extracted. The meshing process of tooth surface is simplified as elastic extrusion between pairs of cylinders with different radii.Considering the load distribution between the teeth,the Hertz principle is used to carry out load-bearing contact analysis on the tooth surface. It shows that the results of this method are quite same as the results obtained by FEM and experiment.The error of the maximum of the contact stress is 0.74%.The results of transmission error and meshing stiffness are essentially same.The dynamic process of tooth surface contact and meshing stiffness can be reflected by this analysis method.

    In order to solve the problem that the signal-to-noise ratio of the gearbox fault signal is low and fault feature extraction is difficult, a method for extracting gearbox fault feature based on parameters optimized variational mode decomposition is proposed. Firstly, the drosophila optimization algorithm is used to search for the most optimal combination of the variational mode decomposition's K and α, aiming at the minimum local entropy of the decomposition result. The original signal is decomposed into several IMF components, from which the component with the smaller envelope entropy is selected for signal reconstruction, and the reconstructed signal is demodulated to extract the fault frequency feature from the envelope spectrum of the reconstructed signal. The results show that this method can reduce the noise and extract the fault features of gearbox successfully, and the effect of noise reduction is better than the empirical mode decomposition method, and the extracted fault features are more obvious.

    Planetary gearboxes are widely used in mechanical transmission systems due to their large transmission ratio and high transmission efficiency.In a planetary gearbox, the sun gear is usually set to float to balance the sharing of loads among planet gears. However, this floating set will result in the variation of pressure angle, overlap ratio and meshing phase in the meshing progress. In the previous studies, these parameters were reduced to constant. To study the influence of the dynamic parameters on the vibration response of planetary gearboxes under different operating conditions, a new lumped parameter model containing the time-varying pressure angle, time-varying overlap ratio and time-varying meshing phase is established. Based on this model, the vibration response mechanism of the sun gear is analyzed. Moreover, the comparison with the previous model is made and the rule of phase modulation caused by these dynamic parameters is revealed. By comparing the dynamic responses under different loads and rotation speeds, the phase modulation is studied in detail.

Among them,the planetary reducer is a precision mechanical transmission mechanism,and its transmission accuracy is closely related to the deformation of key parts. Therefore,by using Adams,a rigid-flexible coupling dynamics simulation model of the joint motor is established to simulate the transient output characteristics during the startup process.In the model,the key parts are flexibly processed,and the motion pair constraints between the parts are set. The Hertz contact theory is used to calculate the contact stiffness coefficient of the planetary gear and the sun gear and the inner gear ring. The simulation results show that the dynamic characteristics of the joint motor are closely related to the acceleration time and inertial load.A larger acceleration time and a smaller inertial load are beneficial to improve its dynamic performance.

Taking the reconstruction of 8 escalators in Jinan Guihe Shopping Center as an example, the design method and reconstruction technology of double strand chain transmission of escalator is elaborated. According to the working conditions and performance requirements of the escalator, the design and calculation of the double strand chain transmission system are carried out, especially the calculation and verification of the size of the large and small chain wheel, and the structural design of the wheel is carried out. The field application proves the correctness and feasibility of the proposed double strand chain design method and construction technology, which can provide reference for other similar escalator reconstruction projects.

    In Variational Mode Decomposition(VMD),k belongs to the custom variable, the decomposition result will be different with the change of k, k directly affects the accuracy of the result, which too large or too small will affect the results. Basis on the question above, a method of determining k by kurtosis is proposed. Selecting an integer value of k between 2 and n, every k kurtosis of the maximum correlation coefficient is calculated, and the variation curve of kurtosis is plotted. If the kurtosis of the curve has no peak and monotonically increases, calculating the kurtosis of k is n+1, repeat the steps above. The maximum kurtosis is used as the criterion of optimization, when the kurtosis is maximum, the k is the best. The feasibility of the method is verified by the actual fault signal, a new thinking of the research for VMD is proposed.

    In order to investigate the load-sharing performance of the 2K-H planetary gear transmission system, a translation-torsion coupling dynamics model is established with considering the nonlinear factors of time-varying meshing stiffness and the overall meshing error and so on, the dimensionless differential equations with 18 degrees of freedom of the system are deduced in this model. By solving the differential equations, the influences of the support stiffness of the center component and the clearance floating on the load-sharing performance of the planetary gear train are analyzed. It is shown that the floating amount of the component increases with the reduction of the support stiffness of the center component and the increase of the clearance of the shaft hole within a certain range, the load-sharing factor of the system decreases when the floating amount of the component increases.

    In response to the design requirements of miniaturization,lightweight and high resonance frequency of the flexspline,the inner diameter,aspect ratio,thickness-diameter ratio and tooth width coefficient of the flexspline are used as research variables.Based on the finite element Ansys,the response surface method parameter optimization analysis is used to explore the influence of the changes of each parameter on the natural frequency of the flexspline. The results show that,in the design process of the flexspline miniaturization,the decrease of the inner diameter and the aspect ratio of the flexspline will increase its natural frequency,and the decrease of the thickness-diameter ratio and the tooth width coefficient will increase its natural frequency,but its natural frequency is greater than the working excitation frequency of the reducer,and resonance will not occur to affect normal operation.

    Honing has become an important method of gear finishing. It is of great significance to study the honing mechanism and accurately grasp the influence of honing speed and particle size on the roughness of the tooth surface in order to improve the surface quality of the machined gear. According to the characteristics of strong honing of inner gear honing gear, through the analysis of the relative motion of inner gear honing gear and workpiece, the linear velocity equation of each point on the surface of inner gear honing gear and machined workpiece is established. Based on the actual machining parameters, the classical grinding theory is applied to predict the roughness of honing workpiece, to explore the variation of roughness at different tooth heights on tooth surface, and to use three-dimensional morphology. The surface roughness of the gear of the internal meshing honing workpiece is measured, and the roughness prediction results and the measurement results are compared and analyzed. The results verify the law, which is of great significance to improve the honing quality.
