Abstract

Aimed at an internal mesh planetary gear with small tooth number difference (PGSTD) reducer, this paper proposes dynamic characteristics analysis. First, static finite element (FE) analysis is performed to check the structural strength with the stress distribution in the gear teeth. Second, by means of the dynamic contact FE method, the internal dynamic excitations of teeth mesh are obtained, including mesh stiffness excitation, transmission error excitation and mesh impact excitation. According to the established model for dynamic FE modal analysis, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the planetary gear apparatus (PGA) are calculated, and its structural dynamic response and acceleration noise are researched with the comprehensive consideration of internal and external excitations. Finally, the noise and vibration testing on the PGA is carried out by utilizing the vibration test equipment. The results confirm that the predicted values are consistent with the experimental results.
