Calculation of Optimal Gear Ratios for a Three-Step Helical Gearbox for Getting Minimal Gearbox Cost
摘要
Based on the cost optimization problem, this work provides the study results to estimate the optimal partial gear ratios of a three-step helical gearbox. To address this issue, a simulation experiment with twelve input parameters was planned and carried out. The effect of input parameters on component gear ratio was examined. Regression formulas to identify the optimal partial ratios to achieve the lowest gearbox cost have also been proposed. Since they are all in the form of an explicit function, these formulas are simple to use.
