A Generalized Dynamic Model and Coupling Meshing Force Analysis for Planetary Gear Set Transmissions

Abstract

The dynamics analysis of a planetary gear set transmissions requires the creation of completely different models for different gears, which is very tedious. In this paper, a generalized dynamics modeling process is proposed for a three planetary gear set transmissions, and a generalized dynamic model for multiple gears is established by using the lumped mass method. The analysis of meshing force characteristics is carried out for the second gear position, and the meshing frequency coupling phenomenon between the meshing forces of the three planetary gear sets is investigated. The results show that, for the current gear set of meshing force, the meshing frequency components of other gear sets only appear in a part of the speed, and with the increase in speed, certain low-frequency components of other sets that exist at low speed will decrease or even disappear, and the coupling relationship between the meshing forces of different planetary gear sets is not symmetrical.
