Bending stress analysis of eccentric straight and helical curve-face gear pair

As a new type of gear transmission developed in recent years, curve-face gear transmission has not appeared before. In order to solve the problem of root bending strength of the eccentric straight and helical curve face gear, a calculating method of the tooth root bending strength was proposed. According to the principle of space meshing, differential geometry and design of machinery, the parametric equations of pitch curve was obtained, the pressure angle and the contact ratio in the meshing process were derived. The plane equivalent pitch curve was obtained, and the formula for calculating the equivalent tooth form factor and the equivalent stress correction factor was acquired. The calculation method of the bending strength of the gear pair was established, and the influence of the basic structural parameters on the bending stress was also analyzed in detail. The position of the stress hazard of the eccentric curve-face gear was determined. Through the finite element analysis and transmission experiment, the accuracy of the calculation method of strength of the gear pair was verified.
