Abstract:

Taking a proposed new type of torque-vectoring (TV) drive-axle of electric vehicles, which can be controlled to realize arbitrary distribution of the driving torque between the left and right drive wheels, as the research object, in the light of its special coupling structure with a multi-group of planetary gearsets, the problem of vibration and noise affecting the dynamic quality of the TV drive-axle system caused by the transmission error excitation of the gear system under the high-speed working condition is studied. Firstly, the static performance, natural vibration frequency, source and characteristics of system vibration of the drive-axle is analyzed by Romax software. Secondly, a multi-objective gear micro-modification optimization function is established, which comprehensively considers the tooth axial modification and the tooth profile modification under multiple working conditions. Finally, the optimization effects of the genetic algorithm and the full factorial method are compared. The results show that compared with the initial design of the drive-axle, the load-bearing capacity and vibration characteristic of TV drive-axle are significantly improved after the optimization of gear micro-modification by full factor method.
