Integrity of grinding face-gear with worm wheel

Aiming at the issue of the grinding integrity of face-gear with worm wheel, the envelope mathematical model of shaper, worm wheel and face-gear is established based on theories of differential geometry and gear mesh. The judgment of completely grinding the face-gear with the avoidance of singularities is established, and the mathematical expression to show the reason why singularities appear is derived, through the research on the surface contact area and singularity rules of the worm thread surface. The disadvantage of current face-gear grinding method that only part of the working surface of the face-gear can be covered is analyzed and the influence of coefficient of judgment is studied through changing the design parameters.
