Description
Summary:Since the output torque of the rotary reducer of the ZYL-15000D-kilometer directional drill is proportional to the gear train transmission ratio, the output torque is large enough when the input speed and output speed meet the design goal. This paper selects the method of reducing the transmission ratio to optimize the size parameters of the reducer. MATLAB genetic algorithm is used in the optimization design, and the minimum volume of the rotary part reducer is taken as the objective of optimization design, while the design variables and constraints are determined. The optimal value of design variables was obtained through optimization, and the parameter values of each gear were determined accordingly. Through analysis, the total volume of the optimized gear reducer was reduced by 49.6%. Then, the 3D model of the optimized gear was created, and the analysis of the transient dynamics of the optimized gear was carried out with ANSYS Workbench software. According to the analysis results, the optimized gear met the strength requirements and provided a reference for the subsequent optimization design of other types of gear reducers.
