Cycloidal Magnetic Gear Speed Reducer

A cycloidal speed reducer employing gears with permanent magnets acting as teeth is described. The magnets, which have their axes radially oriented in both the orbiting gear and the fixed internal gear, are inserted in holes drilled in nonmagnetic rims without protruding from the cylindrical exposed surfaces. Because the orbiting gear is not restrained radially, it contacts the fixed gear and rolls on its inner surface. A normal force is developed at the contact point between the gears to balance the magnetic attraction and the centrifugal force of the orbiting gear. The friction available due to this normal force increases the transmission’s torque capacity, which is further increased by elimination of the gap between the gears. Also, the radial load on the supporting orbiting gear bearing is eliminated. A prototype with a reduction ratio of 26 is being tested.

Smooth Operation with Manufacture Error and Modification of Cycloidal Pin Gearing

The paper considers the modification or the manufacture error of cycloidal gear, then analyzes the relationship of pin circle meshed with the modified cycloidal gear, discuases the amount of error that leads to destroying conjugate action and results in the changes of tbe instantaneous velocity ratio and so as to affect the smooth operation of cycloidal pin gearing. The idea of the relationship between amount of modification aud manufacture error and the smooth operation can be gotten from the curve diagrams of the instantaneous velocity ratio. Therefore, the directions for improving the reature of the cycloidal pin gear transmission are clear.

An Attempt to Evaluate the Cycloidal Rotor Fan Performance

In this work, the cycloidal rotor fan (CRF) performance was estimated by means of a numerical method based on Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (URANS). The fan with a cycloidal rotor belongs to the positive displacement machines of the rotary type. The numerical algorithm for simulation of the flow in the cycloidal rotor as well as postprocessing of the CFD results was prepared using Ansys CFX CEL. The methodology for the assessment of the CRF performance was proposed and verified. It was found out that the CRF performance strongly depends on the shape of the profile of the applied rotor blade. The NACA 0012 and CLARK Y profiles were tested for the same CRF structure and flow conditions. Also, the crucial importance for the CRF performance has the range of the blade pitch angle change.

In the procedure, the minimum quadratic sum of the normal deviation is used as the object function and the equidistant curve is dealed with instead of the teeth profile. CMM is a high accurate measuring machine which can provide a way to evaluate the accuracy of the cycloidal gear completely.

Temperature dependent terahertz giant anisotropy and cycloidal spin wave modes in BiFeO3 single crystal

THz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS)is used to study the THz-optical properties of a single crystal bismuth ferrite BiFeO3(BFO).It can be found that the anisotropy of BiFeO3 is strongly dependent on the temperature.A giant birefringence up to around 3.6 is observed at 1 THz.The presence of a spatially modulated cycloidal antiferromagnetic structure leads to spin cycloid resonances(SCR)ψandΦ,corresponding to the out-of-plane and in-plane modes of the spin cycloid,respectively.We distinguish the SCR with respect to their response to orthogonal polarizations of the electric fields of the incident THz beam.In addition,we observe a resonance appearing below 140 K,which might be interpreted as an electromagnon mode and related to a spin reorientation transition.Our present observations present that the temperature and polarization,as the external control parameters,can be used to modulate the THz optical properties of BFO single crystal.

Voidage correction method for DEM study of 3D pebble flows in a bed of cycloidal base

Voidage(porosity or void fraction)in packed particles(or pebbles)is of fundamental importance in calculating the pressure drop,obtaining the drag,predicting the bed permeability,estimating the neutron streaming,etc.For the case when particles are deformed,a method of voidage correction during the packing state is proposed using a Discrete Element Method(DEM)simulation of 3D pebble flow inside a bed of cycloidal base.A function to evaluate the remaining volume of a pebble intercepted by horizontal and vertical planes is proposed for voidage calculation.After that,the process of solving voidage distribution is provided in detail.Using this method,the voidage inside the cycloidal-base pebble bed is obtained to refer to reported similar data for validation.This method can be potentially used for dynamical voidage calculation in CFD-DEM simulation which can get suitable voidage distribution after the correction.

Effects of blade aspect ratio and taper ratio on hovering performance of cycloidal rotor with large blade pitching amplitude

In recent years, a lot of research work has been carried out on the cycloidal rotors. However, it lacks thorough understanding about the effects of the blade platform shape on the hover efficiency of the cycloidal rotor, and the knowledge of how to design the platform shape of the blades. This paper presents a numerical simulation model based on Unsteady ReynoldsAveraged Navier–Stokes equations(URANSs), which is further validated by the experimental results. The effects of blade aspect ratio and taper ratio are analyzed, which shows that the cycloidal rotors with the same chord length have quite similar performance even though the blade aspect ratio varies from a very small value to a large one. By comparing the cycloidal rotors with different taper ratios, it is found that the rotors with large blade taper ratio outperform those with small taper ratio. This is due to the fact that the blade with larger taper ratio has longer chord and hence better efficiency. The analysis results show that the unsteady aerodynamic effects due to blade pitching motion play a more important role in the efficiency than the blade platform shape. Therefore we should pay more attention to the blade airfoil and pitching motion than the blade platform shape.The main contributions of this paper include: the analysis of the effects of aspect ratio and taper ratio on the hover efficiency of cycloidal rotor based on both the experimental and numerical simulation results; the finding of the main influencing factors on the hover efficiency; the qualitative guidance on how to design the blade platform shape for cycloidal rotors.

Influence of blade negative twist on aerodynamic performance of cycloidal propeller

In order to improve the analysis accuracy of the influence of shape parameters on the aerodynamic performance of cycloidal propeller,a set of CFD methods suitable for the simulation of the cycloidal propeller flow field based on the dynamic overset mesh and Unsteady Reynolds time average method equation were established.The characteristics of the spanwise lift distribution and surface pressure distribution in case of different negative twist were provided.The influence of the negative twist on the aerodynamic performance of cycloidal propeller was emphasized.The results showed that,the change of negative twist caused the change of azimuth for cycloidal propeller lift.The larger the absolute value of negative twist,the lower the figure of merit of the cycloidal propeller;the smaller the negative twist,the more gentle the instantaneous aerodynamic fluctuation;the influence mechanism of negative twist on the aerodynamic performance of cycloidal propeller was generated from changing the non-uniform distribution of the cycloidal propeller’s effective angle of attack.

Aerodynamic optimization design of general parameters for cycloidal propeller in hover based on surrogate model

A surrogate-model-based aerodynamic optimization design method for cycloidal propeller in hover was proposed,in order to improve its aerodynamic efficiency,and analyze the basic criteria for its aerodynamic optimization design.The reliability and applicability of overset mesh method were verified.An optimization method based on Kriging surrogate model was proposed to optimize the geometric parameters for cycloidal propeller in hover with the use of genetic algorithm.The optimization results showed that the thrust coefficient was increased by 3.56%,the torque coefficient reduced by 12.05%,and the figure of merit(FM)increased by 19.93%.The optimization results verified the feasibility of this design idea.Although the optimization was only carried out at a single rotation speed,the aerodynamic efficiency was also significantly improved over a wide range of rotation speeds.The optimal configuration characteristics for micro and small-sized cycloidal propeller were:solidity of 0.2-0.22,maximum pitch angle of 25°-35°,pitch axis locating at 35%-45% of the blade chord length.

一种新的常数度数的P2P覆盖网络

许多结构式P2P系统使用DHT技术将数据映射到相应的节点,以便在数据的存放与查找方面有很好的扩展性.但是,在节点数为n的网络中,大多数结构式P2P系统的每一次查询(lookup)都需要O(logn)步,而且每个节点都要维护O(logn)个邻居.该文提出了一种新的常数度数的P2P系统,它模仿立方体互连圈(CubeConnectedCycle)的拓扑结构,命名为Cycloid.在节点数为n=d×2d的Cycloid系统中,每次查询只要Ο(d)步,并且每个节点只需要维护Ο(1)个邻居.模拟实验表明,在网络规模较大和节点出入频繁的动态P2P网络中,Cycloid比其它常数度数的P2P系统(如Viceroy和Koorde)具有更好的性能,尤其是Cycloid具有更高的搜索效率、更均匀的数据分配、更平衡的节点负载.

Quantitative calculations of polarizations arising from the symmetric and antisymmetric exchange strictions in Tm-doped GdMnO_3

The ferroelectric polarization and phase diagram in Tm-doped Gd MnO3 are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation based on the Mochizuki–Furukawa model. Our work well reproduces the low temperature polarization at various substitution levels observed experimentally. It is demonstrated that the Tm-doping can control the multiferroic behaviors through modulating the spin structures, resulting in the flop of the electric polarization. In addition, the polarization in the ab-plane cycloidal spin phase arises from comparable contributions of the symmetric exchange striction and antisymmetric exchange striction, leading to much bigger polarization than that in the bc-plane cycloidal spin phase where only the contribution of the latter striction is available. The phase diagram obtained in our simulation is helpful for clarifying the multiferroic properties in doped manganite systems and other related multiferroics.

Temperature Research of Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor for Electric Balanced Vehicle

A power system structure composed of a brushless DC motor and a cycloidal reducer for electric balanced vehicle has been proposed, and the temperature of important components in this structure would be discussed. The loss generated by the cycloid reducer is negligible, it’s only need to analyze the thermal field of motor. Since the temperature change will affect the material properties of the target motor, the electromagnetic and temperature fields, involved in the motor, are selected for coupling calculation to determine whether the final temperature distribution can meet the requirements of vehicle for use.

Coupling for Parallel Non-Collinear Shafts

A novel coupling for two parallel shafts with non-collinear axes has been developed and used in a cycloidal transmission with magnetic gears. Such a coupling has been designed as an alternative to traditional couplings to transmit the rotation from the orbiting gear to the output shaft. The driving shaft transmits a couple consisting of two equal and opposite forces to a central element which, in turn, transmits the same couple, also consisting of two equal and opposite forces to the driven shaft. This novel coupling was successfully used instead of a traditional coupling resulting in, not only a smother operation, but also a more efficient power transmission.

A Method for the Squaring of a Circle

This paper presents a Method for the squaring of a circle (i.e., constructing a square having an area equal to that of a given circle). The construction, when applied to a given circle having an area of 12.7 cm2, it produced a square having an area of 12.7 cm2, using only an unmarked ruler and a compass. This result was a clear demonstration that not only is the construction valid for the squaring of a circle but also for achieving absolute results (independent of the number pi (π) and in a finite number of steps) when carried out with precision.
