Nonlinear dynamic characteristics analysis and chaos control of a gear transmission system in a shearer under temperature effects

Abstract

Due to changes in the working temperature in a shearer transmission system, it is easy to cause the transmission gear to work abnormally. In this paper, the first gear pair in a cutting transmission system of a permanent magnet semi-direct drive shearer was taken as the research object. The coupling effect of time-varying meshing stiffness, meshing damping, bearing clearance and gear backlash under thermal deformation were fully considered. Then, a three degree of freedom nonlinear dynamic model of the gear pair was established, and a dimensionless analysis was performed. Finally, the Runge-Kutta method was used in the numerical calculations. The motion characteristics of the system were analysed through the gear’s bifurcation diagram of the temperature at different frequencies and the bifurcation diagram of the frequency at different temperatures. The meshing state was analysed at different frequencies and temperatures. For the chaotic motion generated in the system, a periodic resonance excitation was applied to control unstable motion. This study has revealed various specific effects of the temperature on the dynamic characteristics of the system. In addition, the periodic excitation method can effectively control the nonlinear motion in the system and realise the control of the chaos under the temperature effect.
