实际粗糙齿面弹流润滑建模与摩擦特性研究

Modeling of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication and Friction Characteristics of Real Rough Gear Surfaces

  • 摘要: 在工程应用中,齿面存在显著的粗糙特征,粗糙齿面形貌特征的复杂性给齿轮润滑与摩擦机理研究带来了困难。为此,通过采用超高分辨率显微系统获取实际齿面微观形貌,结合雷诺方程、油膜厚度方程和载荷平衡方程,建立了考虑实际粗糙齿面的齿轮动态弹流润滑模型。研究了在粗糙齿面状态下,润滑油黏度、齿轮转速和动态啮合力对油膜压力、厚度及摩擦因数的影响规律。结果表明,随着齿面加工精度降低,油膜厚度波动加剧,局部区域出现油膜破裂现象,摩擦因数显著增大。润滑油黏度和齿轮转速的升高会增大油膜厚度、降低油膜压力,摩擦因数也随之上升。动态啮合力的增大会拓宽接触区域、压缩油膜厚度,同时造成接触区油膜压力大幅升高,研究结果为高精度齿轮传动的润滑设计与效率优化提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: In engineering practice, gear tooth surfaces exhibit significant roughness characteristics. The complexity of rough tooth surface morphology poses challenges to the study of gear lubrication and friction mechanisms. To address this issue, a dynamic elastohydrodynamic lubrication model considering the effects of real rough gear surfaces was developed by mapping the actual microscopic topography of gear surfaces using an ultra-high-resolution microscopic system and incorporating the Reynolds equation, film thickness equation, and load balance equation. The effects of lubricant viscosity, gear speed, and mesh force on oil film pressure, thickness, and friction coefficient under rough surface conditions were investigated. The results show that as tooth surface machining quality deteriorates, oil film thickness fluctuations intensify, local film rupture occurs, and friction coefficient increases significantly. An increase in lubricant viscosity and gear speed leads to thicker oil films but lower pressure, accompanied by a rise in friction coefficient. An increase in dynamic mesh force broadens the contact area, reduces film thickness, and significantly increases film pressure. These findings provide a theoretical basis for lubrication design and efficiency optimization in high-precision gear transmissions.
