Abstract:As an efficient manufacturing method for gears, shaping technology developed for non-circular helical gears will greatly break through the dilemma of their applications; especially for those gears with part of pitch curves being concave, being not able to be hobbed. Two fundamental linkage-models for external non-circular helical gears were built based on the meshing theory of non-circular gears in this article. According to four linkage methods in plane and two kinds of additional rotation in vertical directi… Show more

In the past, family of elliptic gears with closed pitch curve includes elliptic gears, high-order elliptic gears, modified elliptic gears, and high-order and two-segment modified elliptic gears. On this basis, this article expands their connotation and unifies them into high-order and multi-segment modified elliptical helical gear (HOMSMEHG), and puts forward the expression of pitch curve. In order to obtain a physical model with real tooth flanks, this article proposed a parametric design approach on the HOMSMEHG based on virtual gear shaping, including decoupling basic parameters, parametric design based on the shaping cutter, and design of shaping linkage models, which had laid a theoretical foundation for designing the HOMSMEHG. Moreover, the realization technology of parametric design was also offered, which had solved the key problem of engineering implementation. Finally, two cases of designing internal and external gears are provided based on virtual gear shaping, which shows that the design approach of the HOMSMEHG and the virtual shaping method proposed in this article are feasible. The tooth flanks of the gears obtained has obvious cutting marks, and conforms to the real ones, which can ensure the reliability of the dynamic or kinematic analysis.

“…12,13 The second method that we also applied is the finite element analysis. 14,15 We used Ansys Workbench at this problem. After defining the loads, boundary conditions and the proper contact constraints between the surfaces, several analyzes were carried out in order to locate the critical places.…”
In order to achieve arbitrary steering characteristics at vehicles, a steering mechanism was developed, in which changing ratio rack and pinion connections have been applied. In contrary to a regular steering mechanism where only a single rack is used, two racks were applied in order to make arbitrary characteristics possible. The turning wheel's required motion functions had to be defined first, thereafter could we determine the changing ratio rack and pinion geometry which produces this motion. First, a simplified two-dimensional mockup was created in order to study the difficulties and possibilities of a real construction. Later, a fully functional assembly was designed and manufactured to make further experiments possible.
“…The use of non-circular gears in industry certifies their effective performance, while prompting new ideas for improved working conditions. Non-circular gears are also used on oval gear flowmeters [12], which are categorized as positive displacement flow technology devices. Positive displacement flow technology allows for precise flow measurements of most clean liquids, regardless of media conductivity.…”
The paper examines the design and generation of gear drives with non-circular gears. Gearings with a changing transmission gear ratio are used for the purposes of practical experimentation, even though "standard" gearings with a constant transmission gear ratio are used more often. In this paper, the author presents the design for the shape of a pitch outline for a specific requirement, that is, continuous change in gear ratio during one rotation. The gearing is designed such that the pitch curve is composed of an ellipse. The article also presents some kinematic properties of the designed non-circular gearing.
