Abstract
The dynamic imbalance problem of elliptical gears seriously affects their service performance and can significantly induce vibration. In order to overcome the above technical difficulties, this paper proposes to use topology optimization technology to achieve structural optimization design of elliptical gear spokes, aiming to suppress vibration and alleviate the dynamic imbalance problem of elliptical gears. Based on nonlinear dynamics and viscoelastic theory, a 6-degree-of-freedom bending torsional coupling dynamic model was derived considering gear eccentricity excitation, and accurately solved the time-varying meshing stiffness, comprehensive transmission error, and time-varying tooth backlash parameters of the model. The influence of lightweight design on the vibration response of the system was analyzed by combining the time-domain diagram, FFT spectrum diagram, phase diagram, and Poincaré cross-sectional diagram. The results indicate that with the optimization of the rotational inertia and centroid position of the elliptical gear transmission system through lightweight design, the vibration response of the system has been weakened, but the frequency component has not shown significant changes.Finally, vibration experiments confirmed that lightweight design has a significant inhibitory effect on the vibration characteristics of elliptical gears. 1
