翻板机主减速器齿轮修形 by 成沛祥, 王聪

“…By mending tooth shape of the tooth profile and tooth direction of gear pair,the impact of meshing which is caused by manufacture error and deformation of loaded tooth can be lessen,so increasing the ability of loading and capability of meshing.The main parameters of the main reducer of panel turnover machine are given,and the elastic deformation of the tooth profile and tooth direction of the first order gear pair is calculated,the profiling quantity of the tooth profile and tooth direction is determined.By detecting the live practical application datum of the reducer,the good effect of the gear modification is verified.…”
