Formation of gearings from involute-bevel gears

When designing modern machine drives based on traditional gears, in some cases there are problems associated with the complexity of the rational layout of the drive, and its load capacity. These problems can be solved using gears with involute bevel wheels. The involute bevel gear (IBG) is the most common case of gearwheel with an involute tooth profile. In IBG, when teeth are formed, the tool displacement coefficient varies linearly along the width of the gear rim. The geometry of the IBG and the gears made up of them was developed at the Department of Technical Mechanics, a branch of SUSU in Zlatoust. The article presents the main dependencies necessary for determining the size of the IBG and possible schemes for the formation of gears with the IBG. Gearings on the base can be formed at any position of the axles of the gears in space. This paper presents schemes for the formation of spatial (on intersecting axes), bevel (on intersecting axes), cylindrical (on parallel axes) transmissions with IBG. The advantages of gears with IBG (layout, operational, load) in relation to gears from traditional cylindrical and bevel wheels are shown. Thus, transmissions from the IBG on intersecting axes make it possible to transmit rotation at arbitrarily small distances between the axles of the wheels with the required contact localization, up to obtaining a linear contact in gearing of the teeth. Bevel gears with IBG are less sensitive to errors and can be formed at small interaxial angles, which is problematic for traditional bevel gears. Cylindrical gears with IBG differ from traditional ones in increased load capacity and smooth operation. In addition, they can be used as backlashless and single-sided gears. Thus, gears with IBG due to their versatility and advantages over traditional gears can be successfully used in modern drives (aviation, space, automobile, etc.) with any arrangement of gear axles in space.
