This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202310632426.8, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on May 31, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gear transmission, and in particular, to a herringbone planetary gear transmission device with a constant meshing characteristics constructed tooth pair.
For planetary gear transmission, external meshing between a sun gear and a plurality of planetary gears and internal meshing between an internal gear and the plurality of planetary gears are often used, and the plurality of planetary gears participate in meshing to share a load and achieve power splitting. Compared with an ordinary gear transmission system, planetary gear transmission has the advantages of compact structure, strong bearing capacity, high power density, large transmission ratio, steady transmission, and the like, and is widely used in fields of aerospace, vehicles and vessels, wind power generation, engineering machinery, and the like.
The patent No. CN 105114542 A discloses a planetary gear transmission device based on a herringbone gear with conjugate curves. A gear pair constructed in the above patent includes a convex-tooth gear and a concave-tooth gear, and a pair of gears with concave and convex tooth profiles in the gear pair needs machining by means of different cutters, which increases a manufacturing cost of the gear pair. The concave and convex tooth profiles lead to a limited curvature radius at a meshing point of the gear pair, thereby limiting further improvement of the bearing capacity of the gear pair. With regard to selection of a contact point, tooth surface interference occurs at a pitch point, making it difficult to achieve a zero sliding ratio. During meshing, the contact point moves in a tooth width direction, which leads to a time-varying meshing force. Therefore, there is an urgent need to innovate a tooth profile design based on an existing design theory of gears with spatial conjugate curves, so as to improve meshing performance of a meshing gear pair of a planetary gear transmission device with a constructed tooth pair and reduce a production and manufacturing cost of the planetary gear transmission device with a constructed tooth pair.

In the present disclosure, the inflection point or the tangent point of the continuous combined curve is as follows:
At the inflection point or the tangent point of the continuous combined curve, the curvature of the curve is zero, that is, the curvature radius tends to infinity. When the continuous combined curve is the combined curve of the odd power function, the combined curve of the sine function, or the combined curve of the epicycloid function, the curvature radii on two sides of the inflection point tend to infinity; or when the continuous combined curve is the combined curve of the odd power function curve and the tangent at the inflection point thereof, the combined curve of the sine function curve and the tangent at the inflection point thereof, or the combined curve of the epicycloid function curve and the tangent at the inflection point thereof, the curvature radius at the inflection point on the side of the odd power function curve, the sine function curve or the epicycloid function curve tends to infinity, and the curvature radius on the side of the tangent is infinite.
