Grinding wheel profile design and temperature field analysis of the pinion for internal meshing gear with curve configuration

To further develop the performance testing and practical application of internal meshing gear with curve configuration, the grinding manufacturing method is proposed in this paper. Based on basic principle of internal meshing gear with curve configuration, Newton’s iterative method is used to derive the contact line condition equation during the process of form grinding. Then, the spatial coordinate transformation relationship of the pinion is established, and normal profile of the grinding wheel is derived. An improved transversal algorithm is proposed to analyze the tooth profile error after form grinding simulation, and the results verify the correctness of the designed grinding wheel. A meshing model with single tooth is established. The effects of different parameters on the grinding temperature field under dry and wet grinding conditions are simulated respectively, which will be helpful to the optimization and control of temperature in grinding process. The research results lay the essential theoretical foundation and engineering analysis for practical form grinding applications of the new internal gears. Further study on experimental analysis of grinding manufacturing process of the new tooth surfaces will be carried out.
