[0048] Before the arrangement of cam periphery 13 and spline surface contour 31 is known, the movement track of the roller 2 is analyzed firstly. In more details, when the convex arc 12 of the cam surface 10 contacts the roller 2 to gradually push to generate two kinds of movement velocities in the spline aperture 30. The two movement velocities include a radial movement velocity v in the radial direction relative to the cam axis 11 and an angular velocity w in the rotational direction of the circumference of the cam 1 (as shown in

[0064] After the status of
The arc lines generated are numbered from outside to inside as L.sub.0, L.sub.1, L.sub.2, . . . L.sub.N. The rotational angle of each roller track circle for an effective rotational angle obtained by divided using an predetermined equal amount of N is as follows:
The radiation lines generated are numbered from left to right as A.sub.0, A.sub.1, A.sub.2, . . . , A.sub.N.
[0065] Thus, each intersection point intersected by the arc lines L.sub.0, L.sub.1, L.sub.2, . . . L.sub.N and the radiation lines A.sub.0, A.sub.1, A.sub.2, . . . , A.sub.N are used as circle centers of the roller track circles to sequentially draw track circles (roller diameter R.sub.d=2.0 mm). The X, Y-coordinates (X.sub.n, Y.sub.n) of the circle centers of the track circles are obtained as the following equation (1)
[X.sub.n,Y.sub.n]=[(L.sub.fN.Math.y)sin(N),(L.sub.fN.Math.y).Math.cos(N.Math.),]
[0066] Wherein, n represents a numbering integer of the track circles for each roller. n is an integer larger than zero.
[0067] From the above descriptions, the coordinates of the 1.sup.th circle center is [X.sub.0, Y.sub.0]=[0, L.sub.f]=[0,14.6]. The coordinates of the 2.sup.th circle center is [X.sub.1, Y.sub.1 ]=[0.005188, 14.594799]. It can be inferred that the coordinates of the (n+1).sup.th circle center is [X.sub.n,Y.sub.n]=[0.500433, 14.071104] (when n=N=100 equally divided).
[0068] step S4: drawing a single-sided tooth flank contour of the spline aperture.
[0069] After the above step S3, a tangent T is formed to connect two neighboring track circles. A 1.sup.th circle point of tangency for each T is selected and coordinates [X.sub.n, Y.sub.n] of each circle point of tangency are calculated by the following equation (2)
[0070] wherein, X.sub.n-1, Y.sub.n-1 are coordinates of the circle center of the n.sup.th track circle.
[0071] From the above descriptions, point of tangency coordinates [X.sub.0, Y.sub.0]=[0.707959, 15.306254] of a 1.sup.th track circle, point of tangency coordinates [X.sub.1, Y.sub.1]=[0.713524, 15.300675] of a 2.sup.th track circle are sequentially obtained. It can be inferred that point of tangency coordinates [X.sub.n, Y.sub.n]=[1.245266, 14.738354] of a (n+1).sup.th track circle (when n=N=100 as equal amount for dividing) are obtained.
[0072] Spline lines are used to connect the point of tangency of the circles to form a surface body. The single-sided tooth flank contour 31a between the tooth crest and tooth void is formed on the spline aperture 30. It should be noted that the tooth crest and the tooth void are the so-called predetermined space which is virtual having no real contour lines. Those skilled in the art can understand that a tooth crest and a tooth void are formed at both ends of the spline aperture tooth flank. According to the step S2, from the parameters, such as the amount S.sub.n of the spline apertures, the amount R.sub.n of the rollers and roller diameter R.sub.d, the distance between the tooth crest and the tooth void on the spline wheel can be known for facilitating formation of single sided tooth flank contour 31a and the contour of the tooth crest and the tooth void after the correspondent side tooth flank contour 31b is formed.
[0073] step S5: drawing spline surface contour.
[0074] After step S4, please refer to
[0075] Circle point of tangency of two neighboring track circles between the single-sided tooth flank contour 31a and the correspondent side tooth flank contour 31b are connected and a real tooth void contour 33 which does not interfere with the circle surface of the track circles is formed at the tooth void location, then, e.g. contour lines of convex or arc shape are formed. The spline surface contour 31 is formed by connecting the void contour 33 between the single-sided tooth flank contour 31a and the correspondent side tooth flank contour 31b. The virtual tooth crest portion is drawn after the whole spline wheel contour 34 is formed.
[0076] Another embodiment of the invention is to implement drawing a spline wheel contour 34. In more details, the embodiment comprises the step S5 of drawing spline surface contour 31 and implementing the following step S6 (as shown in
[0077] Step S6: drawing the spline wheel contour.
[0078] After the step S5, the cam axis 11 is used as a rotational center (as shown in
[0079] In more details, the tooth crest portion is drawn to form a real tooth crest contour 32 (as shown in
[0080] Another embodiment of the present invention is to implement drawing of the cam periphery 13. In more details, the embodiment comprises steps of continuing the steps of S1 to S2, and executing the steps of S30 to S50 (as shown in
[0081] Step S30: drawing a roller track circle of the cam.
[0082] After the step 2 is set up, then, a drawing of an effective movement range of a roller track circle at the outskirt of the cam 1 is drawn according to the following parameters and definition as shown in
[0083] In
and to sequentially number the arc lines into L.sub.0, L.sub.1, L.sub.2, . . . L.sub.M (M=300). Further, a rotation angle of each roller track circle is obtained by proportionally dividing the effective rotational angle by the predetermined equal amount M so as to meet a following equation:
to generate radiation lines from right to left numbered as A.sub.0, A.sub.1, A.sub.2 . . . A.sub.M (M=300).
[0084] Thus, each intersection point (for example, an intersect point of L.sub.0 and A.sub.0) intersected by the arc lines into L.sub.0, L.sub.1, L.sub.2, . . . L.sub.M and the correspondingly numbered A.sub.0, A.sub.1, A.sub.2 . . . A.sub.M is used as a circle center of the roller track circles to sequentially draw track circles (having a roller diameter R.sub.d=2.0 mm). The margin between the roller 2 and the cam surface 10 is considered, for example, the predetermined margin for roller diameter R.sub.d+default gap=2.0+0.04=2.04 mm. Accordingly, circle center coordinates [X.sub.m, Y.sub.m,] of the track circles are obtained from drawing by the following equation (3)
[X.sub.m,Y.sub.m]=[(L.sub.fM.Math.y).Math.sin(M.Math.),(L.sub.fM.Math.y).Math.cos(M.Math.),]
[0085] Accordingly, the 1.sup.th point coordinates [X.sub.0,Y.sub.0]=[0, L.sub.f]=[0, 14.6] and the 2.sup.th point coordinates [X.sub.1, Y.sub.1]=[0.032868, 14.598230] can be sequentially obtained. It can be inferred that the m.sup.th+1 point coordinates [X.sub.m,Y.sub.m]=[8.8034166, 10.988460](when m=M=300, equally divided) of the (m+1).sup.th track circle is obtained.
[0086] Step S40: drawing a unit cam periphery of the cam.
[0087] A tangent line T is made by connecting two adjacent track circles and a 1.sup.th circle point of tangency of the tangent line T is selected. X-Y coordinates [X.sub.m, Y.sub.m] of the circle point of tangency are calculated according to the following equation (4)
[0088] wherein, X.sub.m-1, Y.sub.m-1 are X-Y coordinates of a circle center of the m.sup.th track circle.
[0089] Accordingly, the point of tangency coordinates [X.sub.0, Y.sub.0]=[0.053785, 13.601447] of the 1.sup.th track circle and the point of tangency coordinates [X.sub.1, Y.sub.1]=[0.023171, 13.599801] of the 2.sup.th track circle are obtained. It can be inferred that the point of tangency coordinates [X.sub.m, Y.sub.m]=[8.135657, 10.244083] (when m=M=300, equally divided) of the (m+1).sup.th track circle can be obtained. Then, circle points of tangency in the 2.sup.th quadrant are connected by using spline lines to form a single body, i.e. a unit tooth flank contour 13a on the cam periphery 13. The point of tangency location covered by connecting the tangent line T are spline line contour location of the local convex arc 12 of the cam 1 formed in the 2.sup.th quadrant. The range of the unit tooth flank contour 13a formed by connecting the spline lines includes a spline line contour of the local convex arc 12 and a cam circumference segment of the part other than the convex arc 12.
[0090] Step S50: drawing a cam periphery.
[0091] Please refer to
[0092] The word of effective in the above descriptions means to be effective at angle range when the roller 2, the spline wheel 3, the cam 1 and the bearing member 4 simultaneously contact. Out of the angle range, the word effective should be ineffective.
[0093] In the above embodiments of the invention, the method of designing is implemented by an ideal movement way of the rollers in the roller-type wave-motion. When the cam surface 10 at the input end pushes and drives some of the rollers to move simultaneously in the radial direction and in the circumference direction in the corresponding spline aperture 30, a drawing of the formed spline surface contour 31, the spline wheel contour 34 and the cam periphery 13 is drawn to sufficiently really transmit driving force. The method comprises maintaining a transmission at a ratio of reduction. Furthermore, when the input shaft rotates to half a circle angle, the roller will move to a location of next spline aperture. The speed of the process will be at constant speed. Accordingly, the driving accuracy of the roller-type wave-motion designed in the invention is better than that of the conventional wave-motion.
[0094] Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that any other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
