Question

Kinematic characteristic state models for basic units of compound gear train

Answer 1

This paper presented a new modeling approach for unit kinematic characteristic state on the motion analysis of compound gear trains. Gear basic units were defined according to studying the composite rules and decomposing the constitution of compound gear trains. Based on prototypes of gear basic units,gear mechanism diagrams of basic units were set up using topological characteristics of mechanism. Kinematic vector was built to describe the type and direction characteristics of motion. The kinematic characteristic model was established by using state equation. All of them provides a solid theoretical basis for kinematic conceptual design of gear trains.
