Abstract
Lapping is a complex precision tooth surface cutting technology for the extended epicycloid hypoid gears, which relies on experienced engineers to obtain ideal machining quality by setting the process parameters reasonably and accurately controlling cutting process. In order to improve the predictability and controllability, influence of different gear parameters on lapping process and geometric topography was systematically studied. Focusing on tooth surface lapping and its micro-topography, an innovative prediction method id proposed. Firstly, the hypoid gear pair model is established, and then height parameters of the tooth surface are calculated by the deduced lapping depth formula. Then, a local tooth surface was reconstructed based on the height parameters by using fast Fourier transform, and prediction model of micro-topography considering the initial topography and random wear mechanism was established. Finally, different lapping parameters considering cutting characteristics of abrasive particles is designed for their influence on tooth surface micro-topography.
