It consists of two steps： （1） creating a reference model by simulating the process of cutting spiral bevel gear,（2） reconstructing the final solid model by collecting data points from the reference model and fitting these points into NURBS surfaces. In this method,cutting simulation avoids abstruse mathematical theories and complex methods,thus making it convenient to obtain data points on the complex tooth surface before the gear is manufactured and efficient to increase the accuracy of the solid model. Also,the representations of tooth surfaces of the final model is unified as a NURBS surface function. The NURBS surface is continuous and smooth,thus it is available for wide applications in CAD/CAE. The experiment proves that the method can be used to establish an accurate pair of SBG models,thus providing a feasible and effective way for CAD/CAE modeling.展开更多

We obtain a general fixed value theorem for directed areas of some triangles in conic circumscribed n-sided polygons and derive as many as n（n - 3） concurrent points of three lines and some other collinear, equiareal results in conic circumscribed n-sided polygons（n ≥ 4）. So the results of papers[1-3] are unified.展开更多

Firstly, a mathematical model of spiral bevel and hypoid gears with circular blade profile was established according to the cutting characteristics of the duplex helical method. Based on a hypoid gear drive, the tooth bearings and the functions of transmission errors of four design cases were analyzed respectively by the use of the tooth contact analysis(TCA), and the contact stresses of the four design cases were analyzed and compared using simulation software. Finally, the curvature radius of the circular profile blade was optimized. The results show that the contact stresses are availably reduced, and the areas of edge contact and severe contact stresses can be avoided by selecting appropriate circular blade profile. In addition, the convex and concave sides are separately modified by the use of different curvature radii of inside and outside blades, which can increase the flexibility of the duplex helical method.展开更多

The model can support various machining methods for Gleason spiral bevel gears and hypoid gears, including generation machining and formation machining for wheel or pinion on a universal five-axis machining center, and then directly produce NC codes for the selected machining method. Wheel machining and pinion machining under UTM were simulated in Vericut 6.0 and tested on a five-axis machining center TDNC-W2000 with NC unit TDNC-H8. The results from simulation and real-cut verify the feasibility of gear machining under UTM as well as the correctness of NC codes.展开更多
