Reliability Design of Two-Stage Planetary Gear Wheel Hub Reducer based on Multi-Objective Optimization

The mining dump truck has a large load capacity, low running speed, and the characteristics of low speed and high torque. The planetary wheel reducer can meet this demand, which is widely used in such vehicles. According to the structural characteristics of a 170-ton vehicle two-stage planetary gear reducer, the reliability of planetary gear transmission at all levels was analysed, and the system parameters were optimized on this basis. The multi-objective optimization design method was used to transform the maximum reliability of the system into the maximum reliability of the gears at all levels, and the constraints are established based on the actual processing, operation, installation, assembly and other working conditions. The MATLAB multi-objective optimization module was used to solve the analysis, and the best gear design parameters were obtained after rounding. Under different operating conditions, the planetary reducer before and after optimization was compared and analysed to obtain the reliability and service life of the entire deceleration system after optimization. The analysis results show that: after the parameter optimization of the planetary reducer, the transmission efficiency is 0.946, and the transmission ratio of the system is 30.54, which meets the actual use requirements. The reliability coefficient of the contact strength of the tooth surface of the secondary sun gear is 2.52, the reliability coefficient of the bending fatigue strength of the root of the secondary inner ring gear is 2.59, and the reliability of the secondary gear is 0.989. The reliability is obviously improved. The safety factor of the main parts is high. The service life of each gear of the whole secondary reduction system meets the design requirements. The analysis content and results provide reference for the optimization design and reliability analysis of similar planetary gear systems.
