This paper addresses an analytical approach to the mechanical error analysis of gear train and tolerance design and manufacture of gear train in restricted space considering motor driving torque, driving system inertia, motor acceleration, motor rotor inertia and friction torque. The gear train is designed to have optimum gear ratio in restricted space and each gear is manufactured to have the lowest weight and each gear tooth is heat-treated to have robustness. Based on the small difference between the mechanical error analysis and measurement, gear train design with optimum gear ratio and restricted space and robustness is proposed.

Tooth errors inevitable in the manufacturing process have large effect on the strength/durability and vibration performances of gear drives. We show that the manufacturing errors affect the overall gear performances, especially vibration performance, and propose a robust optimal design method for gear dimension and its tooth flank form that guarantees reliable performances to the variation of manufacturing errors. This method begins with a search of optimal design candidates by using the previously developed gear optimal design method for the strength/durability and vibration performances. Then, the statistical analysis method is applied to find a robust design solution for the vibration performance which is generally very sensitive to the manufacturing variations.

A design method of gear tooth profile which can reduce the noise of gear is studied. The tooth profile is generated by combining involute and cycloid tooth curves in which the involute tooth profile is near the pitch point and cycloid tooth profile at the addendum and the dedendum. Considering parameters which have an influence on the reduction of gear noise and building up a design conditions for the noise reduction of gear, the lower-noise combined gear tooth profile is designed. For the check of noise reduction of the combined gear profile, two pairs of combined profile gear, two pairs of involute gear, and a pair of cycloid gear were manufactured by the NC Wire Cutting Machine, and the experiment for measuring of gear noise was carried out on each pair. The noise reduction of the combined profile gear was obtained.

The manufacturing errors such as pitch error and run-out error in planetary gear system bring about the irregular displacement of the center of each gear, which cause the torqe variation, vibration and noise. In this study, the relation between manufacturing errors and error motions of the center of gear was analyzed, and it can be applied to identyfy the errors of gears by investigating the measured locus of the center of each gear. Also, another identification method of power spectrum estimation using FFT algorithm was introduced, which analyze the frequency of the measured error motions. The results show that the error of each gear had a corresponding unique frequency, therefore, this method proved to be more effective.

본 고에서는 자동차용 수동변속기에 사용되는 평치차 및 헬리컬 치차에 대해서 설계조건과 설계절차 및 방법에 관해서 논하고자 한다. 자동차용 변속기의 치차 설계자는 gear box내의 좁은 공간에서 가장 정숙하고 튼튼하고, 소형.경량화된 치차를 설계하기 위해서는 module, 공구압력각, 치높이, 치선원경 등이 표준에서 벗어나는 특수 cutter를 이용하여 제작되도록 치차 설계를 할 수 밖에 없으나 자동차용 치차가 대량 생산되는 점에 비추어 볼때 특수 cutter를 사용하는데 드는 비용은 문제가 되지 않는다고 본다.

The various configuration of thin-shaped bevel gears are used usually for such as main reduction gear of the hovercraft. But the reasonable and concise guide to thedesign of the se bevel gears is not yet obtained, since the tooth of bevel gear has complex form. The purpose of these investigation is to be establish the design guide and to propose the desirable configuration form for thin-shaped straight bevel gear. In this report, the desirable configuration is examined experimentally by clearing up the effect of web and rim thickness, rim support condition upon the load distribution and root stress distribution along the tooth trace. The results are summarized as follows. (1) The crowning of tooth trace exerts a significant effect on the root stress distribution of thin-shaped bevel gear. (2) As the desirable configuration of the thin-shaped bevel gear, it is to be recommended that the rim is supported at the heel side of tooth trace. (3) But, as special type, it is desirable that the rim is supported at the toe side.

In this study, the simulation program is developed where the tooth profile error in internal gear shaping is calculated considering several factors which affect it. This factors are the circular feed of the pinion cutter, the interference by the geometric conditions of the cutter and the internal gear, the deviation from the theoretical involute profile of the cutter and the eccentricity of the cutter and the internal gear. With this program, the effects are investigated which the geometric conditions and the cutting conditions in internal gear shaping have on the tooth profile error of the internal gear. The condition for the minimization of it is derived and then the results of simulation are adequately verified by measurements of internal gears cut by a pinion cutter.

An expert system is developed which can design the power transmission involute cylindrical gears on the basis of strength and durability. Bending strength, surface durability, scoring, and wear probability are considered as the basis. The basic components of the expert system are knowledge base, inference engine, and working memory. The knowledges in knowledge base are classified hierarchically into the knowledges used in selection of gear type, selection of materials, and determination of K factor and are represented by rules. In the inference engine two inference methods are implemented with the depth first search method. For-ward chaining method is introduced in the selection of gear type and materials and in the determination of K factor. Backward chaining method is introduced in the detailed design of module and face width in accordance with the validation of strength. And inference efficiency is achieved by constructing the part needing a lot of numerical calculations in strength estimation separately from inference mechanism. The working memory is established to save the results during inference temporarily. In addition, design database of past design results is built for consultation during design and knowledge acquisition facility, explanation facility, and user interface are included for the usefulness of user. This expert system is written with the PROLOG programming language and the FORTRAN language in numerical calculation part which interfaced with PROLOG and can also be executed on IBM-PC compatible computer operated by MS-DOS alone.

When designing a gear drive, designers should specify tolerances reasonably considering accuracy, cost, and manufacturing capability. In field design, however, designers mostly assign adequate tolerance without correlations between parts and assembly, resulting in iterative design dependent on experts know-how. In order to resolve this, the tolerance design system for a cylindrical gear drive is developed both to support tolerance design automation and to synthesize design processes of part and assembly tolerances. In this research, part tolerances are designed with the databases constructed by ISO, Ks, JIS and bearing catalogue, Assemble tolerance, that is, backlash tolerance is designed by synthesizing part design tolerances stochastically using the formulated assembly relations. This system can include part tolerance and fitting accuracy of shaft adn bearing in practical design. In addition, this system provides field-designers with a synthetic guideline for tolerance design of a gear drive.
