Transmission Error Analysis and Disturbance Optimization of Two-Stage Spur Gear Space Driven Mechanism with Large Inertia Load

For the nonlinear disturbance actual issues of the model space drive mechanism two-stage spur gear system, a nonlinear dynamic model of 14-DOF (degree of freedom) two-stage spur gear with time-varying stiffness and damping was established. This model has been developed previously by the authors to access the large inertia on the dynamic response of spur gear space driving mechanism, and its effectiveness was proved by a motion simulation experiment. In this paper, the profile error (PE) and the index error (IE) were enhanced in the dynamic model. The effects of profile error, index error, and variable load torque on transmission error (TE) were analyzed, while the optimization was proposed according to the analyzed result. The peak-to-peak value of the optimized load transmission error (LTE) was reduced by 60.7%, which improved the transmission accuracy and reduced the phenomenon of disturbance. The research of nonlinear dynamical model of two-stage spur gear and the TE of the large inertia load were enriched, which provided an important reference for the actual design of the gear system.
