Load-Sharing Characteristics of Power-Split Transmission System Based on Deformation Compatibility and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis

Abstract EN

In order to implement the uniform load distribution of the power-split transmission system, a pseudostatic model is built.

Based on the loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) technique, the actual meshing process of each gear pair is simulated and the fitting curve of time-varying mesh stiffness is obtained.

And then, the torsional angle deformation compatibility conditions are proposed according to the closed-loop characteristic of power flow, which will be combined with the torque equilibrium conditions and elastic support conditions to calculate the transfer torque of each gear pair.

Finally, the load-sharing coefficient of the power-split transmission system is obtained, and the influences of the installation errors are analyzed.

The results show that the above-mentioned installation errors comprehensively influence the load-sharing characteristics, and the reduction of only one error could not effectively achieve perfect load-sharing characteristics.

Allowing for the spline clearance floating and constrained by the radial spacing ring, the influence of the floating pinion is analyzed.

It shows that the floating pinion can improve the load-sharing characteristics.

Through the comparison between the theoretical and related experimental data, the reasonability and feasibility of the above-proposed method and model are verified.
