摘要

In this paper, a nonlinear torsional vibration model with meshing errors, time varying meshing stiffness, damping coefficients and gear backlashes was established and dimensionless equations of the system are derived in the planetary gear train processing device. The paper analyzed the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the device which was used to machine the Circular-Arc-Tooth-Trace cylindrical gear. By using the method of numerical integration, the bifurcation diagrams are obtained and the results indicate that the processing device has abundant bifurcation characteristics with the change of the dimensionless speed, and the damping ratios, gear backlashes and meshing errors of meshing pairs could influence the vibration greatly. The bifurcation diagrams reveal that increasing the damping ratios can change the bifurcation and the chaos can be avoid when the damping ratios are bigger enough, reducing the gear backlashes can reduce the dimensionless displacement amplitudes, increasing the meshing errors can make the bifurcation diagrams shift left for a distance, and alternating load torque with large amplitude will cause complex chaos phenomenon. The study can help to avoid the fatigue failure and instabilities caused by chaos and it also contribute to improving the performance of the processing device.
