타원형 기어는 오발 유량계에 사용되는 특수기어로써 타원형 모양에 의해 생긴 공간으로 물을 흘려보내 계측한다. 본 연구의 목적은 타원형 기어의 가공정도를 판단하고 불량을 가려내는 시스템을 머신비전을 이용하여 개발하는 것이다. 각종 산업분야에서 자동화가 확산되면서 머신미전의 수요는 늘고 있으며 업계전반의 생산공정 중 검사 공정에서 빼놓을 수 없는 인자가 되었다. 하지만 머신비전을 이용한 기어측정은 기어의 형상이 복잡하다는 이유로 잘 사용되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 머신비전을 이용한 검사 프로그램으로 타원형 기어의 측정이 가능함을 보였으며 본 연구에서 설계한 타원형 기어의 가공정도를 판단할 수 있었다.

The CAD model of a elliptical gear for wire cutting has been developed. The rolling contact of pitch ellipses whose rotation axes coincide with their focus has been analyzed, and the perimeter of the pitch ellipse has been divided into equal-length segments by the number of teeth. A master tooth profile, which is a composite curve of circular arcs that represents involute, has been introduced. The elliptical gear has been designed by imposing the master tooth on the divided points of the pitch ellipse, and a full fillet has been achieved between neighbour teeth. Thus, the whole profile of an elliptical gear is a composite curve of arcs only, and consequently NC codes for wire cutting can be easily generated. Furthermore, a computer simulation program is developed to verify the mesh of the elliptical gear.

Noncircular gears have been used for obtaining the modified anglualr velocity ratio between parallel axes. The elliptical gear, which is a kind of noncircular gears, makes use of ellipse as a pitch curve, and is applied for the measurement of the discharge of liquid. The applications of an elliptical gear are more advantageous than any other mechanism as like a crank-slider linkage or a cam mechanism in view of the accuracy and the reliability to transmit the prescribed motion. In this paper, acceding to the theoretical involute tooth profile, two pairs of the elliptical gears were manufactured by using CNC wire electronic discharge machine. The proper ranges of the operating pressure angle and of module not to generate under cutting are studied on the change of the eccentricity, because it is the eccentricity of the pitch curve that determines most of the characteristics of the elliptical gear and then the vibration analysis is executed for the verification of harmonious rotating.

오발 유량계의 회전자로는 타원형 기어가 사용된다. 타원형 기어를 사용하는 이유는 타원형 기어로 인해 생긴 공간을 통해 물을 계측하기 때문이다. 현재 타원형 기어는 일본에서 호브를 수입해 가공하고 있으며 그마저도 일본 회사와의 계약이 끝나면 가공할 수 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 타원형 기어에 대한 수입 대체 효과 및 국내기술의 개발을 통해 해외 의존력을 탈피 할 수 있도록 타원형 기어 설계에 연구 목적을 두고 있다. 보통의 압력각을 타원형 기어에 사용하였을 경우 이의 간섭이 생겨 회전을 하지 못한다. 압력각이 증가하게 되면 이뿌리 부분이 두꺼워지고 이끝 부분이 좁아진다는 것을 이용하여 타원형 기어의 치형을 설계하였으며 이를 2D 및 3D로 검증하였다.

This present paper describes a mathematical model of profile shifted elliptical gears, and this model is based on the concepts of envelope theory and conjugate geometry between the blank and the straight-sided rack cutter. The geometric model of the rack cutter includes working regions generating involute curves and fillets for trocoidal curves, and furthermore the addendum modified coeff. is considered for avoiding undercutting. The addendum modified coeff. is changed linearly along with pitch curves and must be the same absolute value at both major semi-axis and minor semi-axis. If undercutting is at all pronounced, the undercut tooth not only are weakened in strength, but lose a small portion of the involute adjacent to the base circle, then this loss of involute may cause a serious reduction in the length of contact. A very effective method of avoiding undercutting is to use the so-called profile shifted gearing. Non-undercutting condition is examined with the change of eccentricity and addendum modified coeff. in elliptical gears and then the minimum number of tooth is proposed not to gernerate undercutting phenomenon.

This paper presents a step-by-step design of noncircular gears. From the diagram of angular velocity ratio of a noncircular gear pair, the pitch curves of the two mating gears are determined, and the perimeter of the pitch curve has been divided into equal-length segments by the number of teeth. A master tooth profile, which is a composite curve of circular arcs that represents involute, has been introduced. A noncircular gear pair has been designed by imposing the master tooth on the divided points of the pitch curve, and a full fillet has been achieved between neighbour teeth. Thus, the whole profile of the noncircular gear is a composite curve of arcs only, and consequently NC codes for wire EDM can be easily generated.

Milli-scale crawling robots have been widely studied due to their maneuverability in confined spaces. For successful crawling, the crawling robots basically required to fulfill alternating gait with elliptical foot trajectory. The alternating gait with elliptical foot trajectory normally generates both forward and upward motion. The upward motion makes the aerial phase and during the aerial phase, the forward motion enables the crawling robots to proceed. This simultaneous forward and upward motion finally results in fast crawling speed. In this paper, we propose a novel alternating mechanism to make a crab-inspired eight-legged crawling robot. The key design strategy is an alternating mechanism based on double four-bar linkages. Crab-like robots normally employs gear-chain drive to make the opposite phase between neighboring legs. To use the gear-chain drive to this milli-scale robot system, however, is not easy because of heavy weight and mechanism complexity. To solve the issue, the double-four bar linkages has been invented to generate the oaring motion for transmitting the equal motion in the opposite phase. Thanks to the proposed mechanism, the robot crawls just like the real crab with the crawling speed of 0.57 m/s.

A gerotor is suitable for miniature manufacturing because it has a high discharge per cycle and a simple structure, while also being widely used as lubrication oil of engines and the hydraulic source of automatic transmission. In the automobile industry, it has been necessary to continuously improve the flow rate and noise of internal gear pumps for better fuel efficiency through optimal gerotor design. In this study, to obtain an optimal gerotor with an ellipse-elliptical involute-ellipse combined lobe shape, an automatic program was developed for calculating performance parameters and drawing a gerotor profile. An oil pump was assembled with the optimal gerotor together with the port used at the actual field and CFD analysis was performed on this assembly using Ansys-CFX. A performance test for the oil pump was carried out and showed good agreement with the results obtained from the theoretical analysis and the CFD analysis.

제로터(Gerotor) 오일펌프는 구조가 간단하고 1 회전당 토출량이 많기 때문에 소형화에 유리하며, 자동차의 엔진 윤활유 공급원 및 자동 변속기의 유압원으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 최근 자동차 산업에서는 연비향상 및 소음저감이 가장 중요한 문제로 대두되는데, 내접형 기어펌프 측면에서는 제로터의 치형설계 및 포트형상 설계를 통하여 이를 대처하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 유량맥동이 매우 작은 값을 가지도록 조합된(타원 1-타원형 인벌루트-타원 2) 외부로브 형상에 대하여 치형의 기구학적 조건을 만족하는 식을 유도하여 내부로브 형상을 창출하였으며, 이에 대한 첨점 및 루프가 발생하지 않는 설계인자 범위를 결정하였다. 또한 설계인자의 변화가 치형의 형상 및 성능인자(유량, 유량맥동)에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 최적의 치형을 구하고자 하였다.
