Abstract
An oil pump with a larger pumping volume and more compact size than conventional pumps is designed with elliptical gear drives. In this work, an elliptical gear drive with few teeth is used in the design of pumps with a large pumping volume. Also, a mathematical model of a profile-shifted elliptical gear is developed, based on the theory of gearing and the gear generation mechanism. This study also investigates the tooth undercutting of a non-standard elliptical gear, based on the proposed mathematical model of the profile-shifted elliptical gear and the theory of gearing. Pointed teeth generally appear on the major axis of the gear elliptical pitch curve. Moreover, a geometric relation is developed and applied to prevent pointed teeth on non-standard elliptical gears. Moreover, a computer simulation program is developed to generate the tooth profiles of non-standared elliptical gears with few teeth and a compact size, without tooth undercutting and pointed teeth. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the computerized design process.
