Power Flow and Efficiency Analysis of High-Speed Heavy Load Herringbone Planetary Transmission Using a Hypergraph-Based Method

The existing research problem is that the hypergraph-based method does not comprehensively consider the power loss factors of the mechanical transmission system, especially the existing windage power loss. In the power flow diagram, it is difficult to express and calculate the power loss separately,...

description The existing research problem is that the hypergraph-based method does not comprehensively consider the power loss factors of the mechanical transmission system, especially the existing windage power loss. In the power flow diagram, it is difficult to express and calculate the power loss separately, based on the power loss mechanism. Furthermore, the hypergraph-based methods purposed by some researches are not suitable for high-speed and heavy-load conditions. This paper presents a new hypergraph-based method for analyzing the transmission efficiency of complex planetary gear trains. In addition, a formula for calculating transmission efficiency is derived. The power loss model is established for a high-speed heavy-load herringbone planetary transmission pair considering several sources of power losses such as gear meshing friction, windage, and bearing friction. Then, the efficiency of a two-stage herringbone planetary transmission system is calculated using the proposed method. Furthermore, the influence of input speed, input power, and lubrication state on transmission efficiency is investigated. Finally, the proposed method is verified by comparing calculated values with values published in the literature.
