Abstract

In order to obtain accurate meshing efficiency of double helical gears, a calculation method of sliding friction power loss is proposed considering the tribo-dynamic coupling effect. Based on the mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory, the initial friction coefficient of tooth surface is obtained and the friction excitation is calculated. Considering the tribo-dynamic coupling effect, a sixteen-degree-of-freedom tribo-dynamic model of double helical gear pair is established, including time-varying mesh stiffness, friction excitation, backlash and transmission error. The tribo-dynamic behaviours of gear pair are analysed before and after coupling, and then the sliding friction power loss and meshing efficiency of double helical gears are obtained. The research results show that after tribo-dynamic coupling, the friction coefficient and friction excitation of double helical gear pair increase, and the meshing efficiency decreases. The meshing efficiency of gear pair increases with the increase of helix angle and pressure angle, and decreases with the increase of surface roughness.
