Introduction Archimedes worm gear s teeth surfaces are comply At present in the common CAD software it is general that approximate drawing instead of worm gear s really jugged 1 It is very difficult to draw out its complicated and accurate tooth in addition to its match worm is classified for left handed right handed single thread and multi start Those have increased difficulty to build its model This paper starts mainly from the processing principle of Archimedes column worm ZA worm simulate its produce procedure and make use of relations function in Pro E realize the accurate and parametric model of ZA worm Furthermore on the basis the worm gear was produced virtually and the generated worm gear and worm were assembled virtually and their motions were and analysed 2 The train of thought to build model To imitate ZA worm turning process draw cross section with the size and shape of parameterization worm gear hob s cross section take Archimedes spiral as trajectory make use of the Variable Section Sweep Cut function in Pro E cut off one slot on the worm blank then pattern the slot the multi start worm gear hob is generated It is the model difficult points to full parameterize its hands and number of threads The key point is firstly to set up the parameters of hands right handed value is 1 the left handed value is 1 and number of threads to establish the Archimedes spiral by the way of equation which can change with hands and number of threads Secondly while pattern worm slot it is necessary that designer select the pattern way of Direction and select the worm blank s axis as a reference to establish the first direction enter the number of threads as number of members in the first direction and enter screw pitch as the spacing pattern members in the first direction After finished worm gear hob parameterized model on the basis the worm model can generate by change parameter The difference between worm and worm gear hob is that the worm gear hob has blade slot and its radius is a clearance bigger than that of worm gear The way which get worm gear model is to adopt the worm gear hob virtual processing The basic train of thought is in the virtual environment to establish separately the worm gear blank and the worm hob then place respectively them in each coordinate system which accord to the theory geometry assembles relation make them rotate in each regulation and do the Boole subtraction operation between them at different engagement position in the motion process until the worm gear has been produced entire envelope surfaces 2 3 Build the relevance parameter From all above the train of thought it can be known that ZA worm gearing s parameterization design and motion analyse need to build those files such as the worm gear hob part the worm part the assembly between the worm gear hob and worm hob and the assembly between the worm gear and worm In order to realize parameterization design these files need to parameterize their fundamental dimension Table 1 The parametric table parameter m modulus q worm characteristic number z1 number of threads xuan hands n number of turns value 5 18 3 1 0 4 parameter z2 worm gear teeth

from IEEE Xplore Restrictions apply the worm and worm gear parameters need be set up such as worm and worm gear s modulus worm characteristic number hands number of threads number of turns as shown in table 1 4 To build the precise and parameterization model for ZA worm gear hob According to all above train of thought firstly designer need to cut off one slot on worm gear hob blank as shown in Fig 1 a then take worm gear hob blank axis as direction pattern the slot which has generated just a moment ago and add array relation taking the number of threads as number of members and taking screw pitch as the spacing pattern members as shown in Fig 1 b a b Figure 1 Worm hob with a slot a and after pattern b m 5 q 18 n 4 z1 3 left handed Adopting the Program module which is embedded in Pro E

variable the worm gear hob can be generated to satisfy consumer s demand as shown in Fig 2 Figure 2 The worm hob which parameter has changed m 2 5 q 11 2 n 6 z1 2 right handed 5 Establish the datum of virtual processing and assembly 5 1 Establish the datum in assembly file In Pro E those files are entire relevance between component and assembly In order to realize the relative motion between worm gear hob and worm gear in the assembly designer must establish separately the corresponding datum point and datum axis in component and assembly files and parameterize these data as shown in Fig 3 Every component can be assembled with the help of these data If parameters are changed the worm gear hob and worm gear will rotate relatively according to given transmission ratio Figure 3 The needed datum in virtual assembly The included angle is generally 90 degrees between two shafts of worm gearing s component in space In assembly designer must establish separately the two necessary datum axes which crisscrossed mutually and datum points for place the worm gear hob and worm gear to assembly and parameterize these data In assembly besides necessary parameters which have be stated before such as modulus tooth number the revolution angle parameter is also necessary to drive worm gear hob and worm gear revolution The parameter is set up as jiao initial value is 0 Finally it is necessary to input relations as follows d3 m q 2 cos jiao x coordinate of alignment point for worm gear hob d4 m q 2 sin jiao y coordinate of alignment point for worm gear hob d5 m pi z1 n 2 z coordinate of alignment point for worm gear hob d2 m pi z1 n 2 z coordinate of alignment central point APNT0 for worm motion simulation both x coordinate and y coordinate are 0 the worm and worm gear hob s

its z axis positive direction and its y axis Authorized licensed use limited to CHINA UNIVERSITY OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGY Downloaded on May 28 2010 at 05 07 00 UTC from IEEE Xplore Restrictions apply positive direction is the same as that in default coordinate system d9 m z2 2 cos jiao z1 z2 the worm gear alignment datum point s x coordinate in the worm gear simulation coordinate system d10 m z2 2 sin jiao z1 z2 the worm gear alignment datum point s y coordinate in the worm gear simulation coordinate system 5 2 Establish the needed datum in each part file for virtual processing and assembly To build a datum point on reference circle of the worm gear hob align the hob axis with the hob datum axis which has been set up in assembly file while place it to assembly align the datum point on the hob reference circle with corresponding datum point which has been set up in assembly file because the datum point has been parameterized in assembly file so the designer can realize to revolve the hob round their each alignment axis Then it is necessary to make use of the relations function and input relations for the datum point as follows d69 m q 2 x coordinate of alignment datum point for worm gear hob d71 m pi z1 n 2 z coordinate of alignment datum point for worm gear hob Using same method the worm gear blank is built To be convenient to the after assembly while the designer build model he must pay attention to the worm gear blank s axis direction and the distance with coordinate system according to assembly relation and build the necessary date to assemble and simulate input relations as follows D74 m q x2 2 2 z coordinate of alignment datum point for worm gear blank 6 Virtual processing and assembly While place the components to assemble designer need to align separately the worm axis worm gear blank axis the datum point on the worm s reference circle and the datum point on the worm gear blank s reference circle with their corresponding axis or datum point which have been set up in assembly file Because the datum points have been parameterized in assembly file the designer can realize to revolve the worm and the worm gear blank round their each alignment axis by change the parameter Making use of the Tools Parameters function changing the value of parameter jiao the interval angle is smaller the effect of worm gear is cut is better the model can be regenerated Making use of the Edit Component Operations Cut Out function and cut the blank then in worm gear part files designer edit the definition of the cut out id which has got just a moment ago and change its attribute from subordinate to independent ensure that the cut couldn t change follow the after change of the parameter value To repeat all above step until all worm gear slots are entirely and homogeneously cut off by the worm gear hob as Fig 4 shows To change the parameters of the worm and the worm gear blank the different worm gear can be generated as Fig 5 shows Figure 4 The

there are following three points can be seen 1 The worm gear and worm Position s Y component change in the way of the sine or cosine regular so does velocity s Y component It is identical with actual law which they do circling motion while they run 2 The worm gear Position s Y component range is from 132 5 to 132 5 mm The worm Position s Y component range is from 45 to 45 mm The worm gear velocity s Y component range is from 47 1238 to 47 1238 mm s The worm velocity s Y component range is from 282 743 to 282 743 mm s they are consistent with their theory value 3 The worm gear s Y component has 3 sine waves and the worm s Y component has 53 sine waves It is identical with actual transmission ratio law while the worm gear and worm engage It can be seen from all above that all emulation
