本研究首先利用SolidWorks API 建立以盤狀刀具加工曲線型圓柱齒輪之模擬系統,此系統可外部連接控制 SolidWorks,於CAD環境中控制刀具與齒胚間之相對運動關係,進而模擬齒輪之切削創製過程,以獲得點接觸以及線接觸等兩種不同形式曲線型圓柱齒輪之三維模型。其次透過SolidWorks軟體中之干涉檢查功能,進行兩種不同形式曲線型圓柱齒輪對之接觸齒印模擬,藉以探討不同之齒輪設計參數對於齒輪對齒面接觸齒印大小之影響。此外,並利用有限元素分析軟體ABAQUS進行曲線型圓柱齒輪對之有限元素應力分析。齒面接觸齒印模擬之結果與有限元素應力分析之結果可相互印證。
Simulation system of curvilinear cylindrical gears cut by Disk-type cutter is developed by visual basic and SolidWorks API firstly. This system can simulate the generation process of three-dimensional CAD models of gear by controlling proper relative motion relationship between cutter and gear blank in SolidWorks. Two different models of curvilinear cylindrical gear pairs with point contact and line contact can thus be obtained. Then, the contact patterns are simulated , and the effects of design parameters on the dimensions of contact pattern are studied. Otherwise, finite element analysis of internal conical gear pair is proceeded by commercial FEA package, ABAQUS. The results of the finite element stress analysis and contact pattern simulation can be verified mutually
