Abstract
The helical gear for locomotive traction has a popular application in the locomotive transmission system due to its excellent transmission performance. The maximum amount of deformation needs to be taken into consideration when performing the tooth profile modification on helical gear. The tooth profile design and corresponding calculation process tend to be tedious since the variation of the contact ratio of gear might lead to the change of logarithm in meshing tooth. In this paper, starting from the effect of the contact ratio on the logarithm of meshing teeth, the mesh-stiffness of helical gear can be solved by cross-section deformation formula based on the similarity of helical gear and spur gear. And then the general calculation formula governing the variation on the length of contact line is derived regarding the moment when gear tooth just engages. On the basis of actual production requirements, the solution equation for inter-tooth load distribution coefficient is derived. As a result, the general mathematical model for maximum deformation of helical gear which can perform parameterized calculation is established. The theory provides a significant theoretical guide in the field of tooth profile modification on locomotive traction helical gear.
