研究提出一种以柔性带作为啮合介质的齿轮传动。给出带式啮合介质齿轮及其基准齿条的合理齿廓和齿厚计算方法;在电功率流封闭式齿轮试验台上进行该传动与渐开线齿轮传动的性能对比试验以及水、油润滑性能对比试验;根据试验结果优选介质带进行传动性能和疲劳寿命试验。结果证明,介质带能改善齿轮的流体润滑、降噪、减振,使齿面不易损坏,降低制造工艺要求,并可能实现水润滑。
A new type of gear transmission with meshed medium belt is developed. The proper tooth profile and tooth thickness calculation method of both the gear and its basic rack are presented. Tests are carried out on the closed electric power test-bed to contrast the performance of this new gear drive with inverlute gear drive, the former lubricated by oil and water separately. According to the tests results some types of medium belts are chosen and performance tests and endurance life tests are carried out. All these tests indicate that the flexible belt can improve the hydrodynamic lubrication of the gears, reduce noises and absorb shocks. The teeth profiles become less damageable, and the requirements on manufacture technics are reduced. Furthermore, this new drive can be lubricated by water.
