Integrated transmission vibration reduction technology based on the "isolating-reducing-optimizing" method

Hydro-mechanical transmission devices that can transfer power from the engine to the action mechanism are widely used in heavy-duty vehicles. It has many components, and the operating conditions are complex and changeable. Multi-source excitations and load disturbances easily aggravate vehicle vibrations, which has an adverse impression on the running quality of the whole vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research on the vibration problems caused by multiple excitation sources. Thus, in this paper, a new vibration reduction method of "isolatingreducing-optimizing" for hydro-mechanical transmission devices is proposed to optimize such devices in multiple dimensions to improve their dynamic responses. This novel method optimized the coupling stiffness to isolate the vibration caused by the engine fluctuating torque. Moreover, the vibration energy decoupling method and optimization method are used to decouple the rigid body vibration of the mounting system, and gear profile modification method based on a dynamic model is used to attenuate the internal high frequency vibration caused by the gear meshing excitation. Finally, the steady-state conditions and cycle conditions vibration tests of the transmission system before and after optimization are carried out. The time and frequency domain vibration responses of the transmission system before and after optimization are compared to verify the effectiveness of the optimization method.
