Description

FREE-FORM MILLING MACHINING METHOD FOR INVOLUTE CYLINDRICAL GEAR CONSIDERING PRECISION CHARACTERISTICS OF TOOTH SURFACE
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of machining technologies, and in particular, to a free-form milling machining method for an involute cylindrical gear considering precision characteristics of a tooth surface.
Background
Gear is a critical basic part in machinery-related application industries. In recent years, in view of the long machining cycle for single-piece, small-batch, and large-modulus gear parts, and high costs of special gear making equipment and special gear cutters existing in conventional gear machining methods such as gear hobbing, gear shaping, and gear shaving, a method for free-form milling machining on a cylindrical gear using a universal tool on a universal multi-axis machining center has emerged, which can provide a flexible gear making method with low costs, high efficiency, short cycle, and fast response for single-piece, small-batch, and large-modulus gear machining of enterprises.
However, such an advanced multi-axis free-form milling machining technology still has the problem of low machining efficiency in cylindrical gear machining. The first reason is that the principle of free-form milling is fitting a tooth surface into a free curved surface and then performing tool path planning without considering differential-geometric characteristics of the tooth surface. Especially for an involute cylindrical gear, each micro-segment on a tooth profile thereof has a different curvature radius, which has certain particularity. The second reason is that such a tool path planning method based on a free curved surface also does not consider the demand for mesh precision at a pitch circle of the tooth surface. During secondary meshing of the involute cylindrical gear, the main area participating in meshing is the tooth surface close to the pitch circle, and the machining precision of this area should be preferentially guaranteed during machining. Although five-axis machining centers in the prior art can realize milling machining of a cylindrical gear, the milling method employed is treating a tooth surface as a free curved surface, resulting in contradiction between the efficiency and precision.
As a result, if the machining precision of all portions on the tooth surface is treated according to the same residual height difference without considering differential-geometric characteristics of the tooth surface and requirements for precision characteristics of the tooth surface, a large amount of redundant feed is definitely caused, resulting in low machining efficiency or low precision of the meshing area of the tooth surface.
Summary
In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a free-form milling machining method for an involute cylindrical gear considering precision characteristics of a tooth surface, which is used for improving the machining efficiency and tooth surface meshing performance for milling an involute cylindrical gear using a universal tool on a universal machining center.

When the machining equipment is a four-axis free-form milling machining center, machining needs to be performed by means of eccentric milling, as shown in FIG. 2. At this time, a dynamic eccentricity e, of the tool of the end milling cutter 2 is calculated: = sin(u, + + co,)-rbt cos(o-,+u, + yo,)+ 2 formula (1) where rb is a base radius of the gear; ao is a tooth space half-angle of a base circle; u, is an involute spread angle; pi is a rotation angle of a rotary table fixedly connected to the gear, namely, a rotation angle of the C axis, and pi = Co+ u,; and Di is the diameter of the end milling cutter 2.

Assume that coordinates of the point C are ()cc, yc), and assume that slopes of the two adjacent cutter location points A and B on the involute are respectively k4 and kB, equation set (5) can be obtained according to a geometric relationship between the three points A, B, and C: formula (5) According to characteristics of the involute, the slopes ki and k8 of the two adjacent cutter location points A and B on the involute are respectively: k,, = taii(o-a + u,) k11 = tan(a0 +113) formula (6) where /LI and its are respectively involute spread angles of the two adjacent cutter location points A and B, which can be obtained from formula (4).
Moreover, involute equations of the two adjacent cutter location points A and B are respectively: x = rb cos(o-0 +u7,)+Tb7L4 sin(a0 +/44) 1 = Y, sin(a0 +ti,)-rhtiAcos(0-b+u,) formula (7) {x B = rbcos(o-b +10+v,11 sin(o-, +u11) y, = cr, sin(0-0 + ti8)-Thu, cos(o0 + t, 18) formula (8) Formulas (6), (7), and (8) are substituted into formula (5) to obtain the coordinates (xc, yc) of the point C.

As shown in FIG. 4, according to the known spread angle Au, of the involute tooth profile, the curvilinear equation between the spread angle Atti of the involute tooth profile and the tooth surface residual height difference At, is established as: At, = formula (10) S03.6: according to formula (10), make a tool path have a distribution from dense to sparse from a pitch circle of the tooth surface to the tooth profile on upper and lower ends, namely, make a tooth surface residual height difference At, of the main meshing area close to the pitch circle the smallest, a tooth surface residual height difference At, of a secondary meshing area far from the pitch circle gradually increase, and a tooth surface residual height difference At; of a non-meshing area close to root and top portions the largest.
SO4: plan the tool path.
During the machining, starting from an end surface on one side of the top portion, the tool is first fed for a first pass in a tooth direction to complete milling of an entire tooth width b; fed by a length of Au, to a tooth space along the involute tooth profile; then fed for a second pass in the tooth direction; and so on until free-form milling of the entire tooth surface is completed.
Throughout the milling, the machining step and the tooth surface precision are controlled according to a specific algorithm, so as to realize free-form milling machining of the involute cylindrical gear with high precision and high efficiency.
FIG. 5 shows cutter location points for envelope of the involute tooth surface simulated through CAM software when the numbers of the cutter location points for tool envelope of the involute tooth surface are both 20. FIG. 5(a) shows a finish machining method considering precision characteristics of the tooth surface according to the present invention, where cutter location points on the tooth surface mainly concentrate in the vicinity of the pitch circle having higher precision requirements. FIG. 5(b) shows a conventional finish machining method based on an equal residual height difference method, where cutter location points on the tooth surface show a tendency from dense to sparse from the root to the top.
FIG. 6 shows a relationship between a radial length and a residual height difference of the involute tooth surface. FIG. 6(a) shows a finish machining method considering precision characteristics of the tooth surface according to the present invention, where the obtained tooth surface residual height differences show a tendency of increasing toward the top and the root along the pitch circle, and the residual height difference near the pitch circle (435 mm < r,.< 445 mm) is At < 2.5 pm. FIG. 6(b) shows a conventional finish machining method based on an equal residual height difference method, where the obtained tooth surface residual height differences are uniformly distributed along the tooth surface. That is, the residual height difference at the pitch circle and the residual height differences at the top and the root are At = 6 Inn. Further, for an involute gear, the portion close to the pitch circle on the tooth surface is the main meshing area, while portions near the root and the top seldom participate in meshing. The finish machining method for the involute tooth surface based on the equal residual height difference method causes a large amount of redundant feed at the root and top portions, which not only reduces machining efficiency, but also fails to consider precision requirements for the meshing area at the pitch circle. Accordingly, a free-form milling machining method for an involute cylindrical gear considering precision characteristics of a tooth surface provided in the present invention not only can improve the machining efficiency of free-form milling of the gear, but also can achieve better meshing performance for the tooth surface.
The described embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiment. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential content of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
