본 연구는 호빙 가공공정 없이 워엄 휠 기어 형상을 만들기 위한 워엄 휠의 개발을 위한 제품을 만드는 것이다. 호빙 가공 공정이 없기 때문에, 증가된 생산성과 등가의 품질을 가지는 플라스틱 워엄 휠이 결국 만들어지게 된다. 그 결과, 이 제품은 현대 모비스, 만도, TRW, KOYO/NSK/Showa(Japan), Delphai(Amercia)에 판매 될 것이다. 핵심 기술 및 전략은 다음과 같다. 워엄 휠의 성형을 위한 기술 보호는 최근 "헬리컬 기어(No. 10-2008-0105908) 성형"이 특허 공정으로 되어 있다. 나아가, "보스 삽입을 위한 위치 결정을 위한 성형 시스템"을 위한 특허 절차가 준비 중이다. 기어 기계가공 절차 없이 호빙 머신에 기어 성형 절차로서, 무엇보다 먼저, 기어를 만드는 코어 개발 기술이 주된 주제이다. 따라서, 코어 및 성형 기초가 초기 순서로 개발되지 않아서, 현재 개발되는 워엄 휠의 경우, 기어는 이차적으로 호빙 M/C로 기계가공 된다. 최종적으로는, 성형 기초 구조체를 위한 특허가 본 연구결과로 만들어질 예정이다.

Automobiles and systems requiring high gear ratios and high power densities generally use worm gears. In particular, as worm gears have a small volume and self-locking function, home appliances such as refrigerators and washers consist of worm gears. We can classify worm gears into cylindrical worms and rectangular worms. According to the AGMA standard, there are four types of cylindrical worms, ZA, ZN, ZK and ZI, depending on the machining of the worm shaft. It is preferable to use a ZI-type worm shaft, which is a combination of a worm wheel having an involute helical tooth surface and a conjugate tooth surface. However, in many cases, industries mostly use ZK, ZN, and ZA worm shafts because of the ease of processing. This paper presents numerical approaches to produce ZI and ZA worm surfaces and worm wheel. For the analysis of the transmission error of a worm gear system, this study (1) generates surface profile functions of ZI profile worm gear and worm shaft based on the common rack theory, (2) adopts the Newton-Raphson method for the analysis of the gear surface contact condition, and (3) presents and compares the corresponding transmission errors of ZI and ZA worm gears.

We aimed to develop a high quality 3.5 ton class swing reducer by studying the efficiency improvement of the reducer through the optimum design and performance evaluation of the assembled, high efficiency, lightweight 3.5 ton swing reducer. Based on the optimal design of the worm and worm wheel, the optimal manufacturing method of the worm wheel, the optimized casing design, and the optimum design of the output pinion, Respectively. Therefore, in this paper, to improve the efficiency of the worm gear reducer system, we will develop the manufacturing technology and verify the mass production by combining the manufacturing process design, processing and assembling technology according to the optimization design. We have conducted research to realize mass production by product verification such as product efficiency, reliability and durability according to optimal design of worm gear reducer.

We developed the durability estimation and design systems to minimize the volume, considering the durability, efficiency, and design requirements of worm gears. That is, we consider each kind of factors affecting on durability on the basis of AGMA Standard for the cylindrical and double-enveloping worm gears. We also estimate input power on the basis of wear and durability, bending strength and deflection of worm shaft, and we developed the durability estimation and design systems of power transmission worm gears introducing the optimal design method on the personal computer to be easily used in field. Also, we developed a method which converts the design variables obtained from the optimal design method to integer values(number of worm threads, number of worm threads, number of worm wheel teeth, etc.,) to be used in real design and production. The developed durability estimation and design method can be easily applied to the design of worm gears used as power transmission devices in machineries and is expected to be used for weight minimization of worm gear unit.

Worm gear sets may be either single- or double-enveloping. In a single-enveloping set, the worm wheel is cut into a concave surface, thus partially enclosing the worm when meshed. The double-enveloping worm gear is similar to the single-enveloping gear; however, the worm envelopes the worm gear. Thus both are throated. The double-enveloping worm gear has more of the tooth surface in contact than the single-enveloping worm gear. The larger contact area increases the load-carrying capacity. For this reason, double-enveloping worm gearing is widely applied in heavy-duty machinery, for applications including construction and metallurgy. In this paper, we designed a compact reduction gear that is highly efficient using double-enveloping worm gears. We calculated the bearing load in the worm gearing to select the bearing and the housing surface area according to the recommended values from AGMA(American Gear Manufacturers Association). The finite element method was used to assess the structural integrity.

Applying the conjugate contact condition, contact lines of a cylindrical worm gear has been calculated. The characteristics of tooth contact were analyzed and the pitting resistance were also assessed. It has been verified that: i) the length of contact is shortest on the 1st tooth of the front region, ii) the contact region is more narrow in the recess side than in the access side, iii) the contact region is more narrow in worm than in worm wheel. Hence, the pitting resistance is weakest in the recess side of the 1st contacting worm tooth.

In this paper, we suggest a new locomotive mechanism fur self-propelling robotic endoscope which could substitute conventional endoscope. Many researchers proposed inchworm-like mechanism for self-propelling robotic endoscope. But it could not be commercialized because they did not solve the limitation caused by clamping. Therefore, we suggest a new radial-type locomotive mechanism with worm. It can propel itself in any situation and take passive-steering because of radial type. In addition, it can be miniaturized with worm. In this paper, we evaluate the mechanism in the dead pig colon as well as under various environments, and verify the performance fur robotic endoscope.

Swing reducers are widely used in special vehicles that have swing motions. Generally, compact swing reducers were constituted by a worm gear pair. Worm gears are one of the most important technical devices for transmitting torque between spatially crossed axes. Due to their high transmission ratio and compact structure, they are widely used in power transmission applications where high reduction is required. This paper presented approaches to improve the transmission efficiency and assembling performance of 3.5 ton class worm gear swing reducers. Worm wheel and the case of swing reducers were optimized and certified by a finite element method. Finally, an actual swing reducer was processed and assembled to test the performance.
