Load sharing characteristics analysis of dual power-split gear train based on loaded tooth contact analysis

In order to research load sharing characteristics of the dual power-split gear train, the mechanical structure model was established. With the method of the tooth contact analysis and loaded tooth contact analysis, the actual meshing process of gear pair was simulated and the time-varying mesh stiffness was obtained, which can enhance the precision of the computation. According to the closed-loop characteristic of the power flow of the system, the reverse angle deformation coordination conditions were deduced, which were combined with the mechanical equilibrium equations and elastic support conditions to calculate the transfer torque and load sharing coefficient of system. The influences of errors on the power split characteristics were analyzed. It provided an important role in the reference for the design of the dual power-split transmission system.
