Abstract

For the manual transmission gearbox used in the automotive industry, gear meshing transmission error is the main source of noise known as gear whine, and radiated gear whine noise plays an important role in the whole gearbox. Therefore, in order to keep competitive in the automotive market, the NVH performance of transmission gearboxes is increasingly important for automotive manufacturers when a new product is developed. In this paper, in order to achieve an optimized tooth contact pattern, gear tooth modification is applied to make up for the deformation of the teeth owing to load. A five-speed MT gearbox is firstly modeled in RomaxDesign software and the prediction of transmission error under the loaded torques is studied and compared. From the simulation, the transmission error and maximum contact stress are also simulated and compared after tooth modification of the loaded torques. Finally, the simulation results are used to optimize the whole gearbox design and the final gearbox prototype is testified to obtain NVH performance in a semi-anechoic room.
