周转轮系三维选型设计的实现

Realization of Type-Selection and Design of the Epicyclical Gear Train 3D

周转轮系使用广泛,但其结构类型的多样性和设计计算的复杂性使用户在选择类型时无法直观、快速地做出决定。运用基于Automation Gateway(AGW)工具的Pro/ENGINEER(Pro/E)二次开发方法,应用Pro/E软件建立了周转轮系的各类三维模型库,通过AGW与Visual Basic(VB)综合编程使用户可以根据需要,利用VB用户界面打开所选类型周转轮系三维模型,确定其参数值并进行属性计算,使周转轮系类型选择过程直观、简便,为周转轮系选型设计的三维直观实现提供了一种有效的工具。

Epicyclical gear trains are widely used,but it is inconvenient for users to choose the suitable type because of the diversity of structure types and the complexity of design.Based on the method of Pro/E（Pro/ENGINEER）redeveloping and the AGW（Automation Gateway）linkage software,3D models of kinds of epicyclical gear trains are built by Pro/E.And then according to the need of users the selected 3D models can be opened by VB interface.The parameter can be entered freely and the attribute can be computed automatically.With this method,the type-selection can be more intuitive and more convenient,and an effective tool is provided for realization of 3D type-selection and design of the epicyclical gear train.
