Helical Gears for Parallel Shafts (斜齿轮传动) Crossed helical gears mechanism(螺旋齿轮机构) 6.9 Helical Gears for Parallel Shafts(斜齿轮传动) 6.9.1 Generation and Characteristics of Helical Teeth The tooth surface of the spur gear is therefore an involute cylinder(渐开线柱面).  The tooth surfaces of spur gears contact on a straight line parallel to the axes of the gears. sudden loading and sudden unloading on teeth Vibration and noise In generation of the tooth profile of a helical gear, the straight line KK on the generating plane is no longer parallel to the axis of the gear. Every point on the straight line KK will produce an involute. The curve connecting the starting points of the involutes on the base cylinder is a helix(螺旋) AA. The surface profile of a helical gear is called an involute helicoid(渐开线螺旋面) The tooth surfaces of two helical gears for parallel shafts are generated by the same straight line KK inclined(倾斜) to the axes of the gears. 动画???? The tooth surfaces of two engaging helical gears contact on a straight line inclined . The profiles on the transverse plane are involutes. The length of the contact line changes gradually from zero to maximum and then from maximum to zero.三维放大图??? The loading and unloading of the teeth become gradual and smooth. That is why helical gears can operate at a higher speed. 6.9.2 Parameters of Helical Gears Two sets of parameters : mn is standardized. mn, han* and cn* take the standard values as for spur gears. The reference diameter and centre distance should be calculated on the transverse plane as Reference centre distance a can be adjusted by changing the helix angle(螺旋角) ?. Standard helical gear drive can suit any centre distance. Review: mn is standardized. 6.9.3 Proper Meshing Conditions for Helical Gears Review:Define the contact ratio as : B2B1 is equal to the arc distance B2B1’ of a profile traveled on the base circle during the meshing from the beginning to
