Professional English for Mechanical Engineering Lecture: Xiaobin Cui Part I Mechanical Design Lesson 2 Gears Lesson 2 Gears Gears are toothed, cylindrical wheels used for transmitting motion and power from one rotating shaft to another. Mesh 相啮合 perpendicular [,p?:p?n’dikj?l?] adj. 垂直的 Definition Uses The teeth of a driving gear mesh accurately in the spaces between teeth on the driven gear. The driving teeth push on the driven teeth, exerting a force perpendicular to the radius of the gear. Thus, a torque is transmitted, and because the gear is rotating, power is also transmitted. 齿轮是有齿的圆柱轮，用来把一根旋转轴的运动和动力传递到另一根轴上。 cylindrical [s?’lindrik?l] adj. 圆柱的；圆柱体的 Lesson 2 Gears 1. Spur Gear Geometry Involute Tooth Form The most widely used spur gear tooth form is the full-depth involute form. Its characteristic shape is shown in Figure 2.1. The involute is one of a class of geometric curves called conjugate curves. involute [‘inv?lu:t] adj. 渐开线 geometric [,d?i:?’metrik] adj. 几何学的 conjugate [‘k?nd??,geit] adj. 共轭的 渐开线是几何共轭曲线中的一种。 Spur Gear Geometry Involute Tooth Form disengagement [,disin’geid?m?nt] n. 脱离 Lesson 2 Gears 当具有渐开线齿廓的两个齿轮的轮齿啮合并且旋转时，在两者之间具有恒定的角速度比值。 From the moment of initial contact to the moment of disengagement, the speed of the driving gear is in a constant proportion to the speed of the driven gear. 从最初接触一直到分开，主动轮的速度与从动轮的速度的比值是恒定的。 When two such gear teeth are in mesh and rotating, there is a constant angular velocity ratio between them. Spur Gear Geometry Involute Tooth Form The resulting action of the two gears is very smooth. Otherwise there would be speeding up or slowing down during the engagement, with the resulting accelerations causing vibration, noise, and dangerous torsional oscillations in the system. acceleration [?k,sel?’rei??n] n. 加速度 vibration [vai’brei??n] n. 振动 oscillation [,?s?’lei??n] n. 振荡；振动；摆动 Lesson 2 Gears 若情况并非如此，齿轮啮合时会出现时而加速、时而减速的情况，产生的加速度会引起系统中振动、噪声以及危险的扭转振荡。 Spur Gear
