Abstract

The failure of harmonic gear drive is mainly caused by the fatigue fracture of flexible wheels and the fatigue damage of flexible bearings. In this paper, the stress sensitivity and fatigue life characteristics of flexible wheels with thin-walled vulnerable components are studied. Firstly, the structure of the flexible wheel of a B3-80 general harmonic gear reducer is designed, the finite element model of the flexible wheel is established by using ANSYS finite element software, and the finite element analysis results are compared with the theoretical calculations to verify the correctness of the model. Finally, by changing the cylinder length, smooth cylinder wall thickness and load, the maximum equivalent stress curves of the flexible gear ring, smooth cylinder and flexible wheel bottom are obtained, and the influence law of structural parameters on the stress characteristics of flexible wheel is obtained. At the same time, the influence laws of flexible wheel cylinder length and smooth cylinder wall thickness on the fatigue life of flexible wheel is studied, which provides a theoretical basis for the structural optimization design of the cup flexible wheel.
