Abstract

As a power transmission element, the timing belt is a toothed transmission belt that takes advantages of V-belts and gears. It has characteristics of non-slip and low noise. It is used as a power transmission device when transmitting power from a rotating shaft or linear motion in a mechanism. Rotation can be accurately transmitted through a belt pulley with grooves like a gear and a timing belt with grooves to precisely match with the belt pulley. In particular, in the mechanism in which the timing belt is used for the output shaft, the dynamic characteristics including the rigidity of the timing belt determine the transmission characteristics of the system, so its importance increases. In this paper, a stiffness reinforced belt that can be applied to a timing belt with a limited range of motion to increase its stiffness is proposed. To study the dynamic characteristics of the stiffness reinforced belt, the equation of motion for the stiffness reinforced belt was established, and a simulation model for the stiffness reinforced belt was created and analyzed. In order to confirm the analysis results of the motion equation and simulation model, a 1-axis rotation experimental equipment using a stiffness reinforcing belt was developed and the experiment was conducted. Through motion equations, simulation models, and experiment results, it was confirmed that the stiffness and dynamic characteristics of the timing belt could be improved by applying the proposed stiffness reinforcement belt.

타이밍벨트는 동력전달 요소로서 V벨트와 기어의 장점을 살린 톱니붙이 전동 벨트로서 미끄러지지 않고 소음도 적어 기구에서 회전축이나 직선 운동에서 동력을 전달할 때 동력 전달 장치로 사용되고 있다. 기어처럼 등간격의 홈을 가진 벨트 풀리와 홈에 정확히 맞물리도록 동일한 간격의 홈을 가진 타이밍 벨트를 통해 회전을 정확하게 전달할 수가 있다. 특히 출력축에 타이밍벨트가 사용된 메커니즘에서 타이밍벨트의 강성을 포함한 동적 특성이 시스템 전달 특성을 결정하게 되므로 그 중요성이 커진다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 범위의 움직임을 갖는 타이밍 벨트에 적용하여 강성을 증가시킬 수 있는 강성 강화 벨트를 제안하였다. 강성 강화 벨트의 동특성을 연구하기 위하여 강성 강화 벨트에 대한 운동방정식을 수립하고, 강성 강화 벨트에 대한 시뮬레이션 모델을 만들어 분석을 수행하였다. 운동 방정식과 시뮬레이션 모델의 분석 결과를 확인하기 위하여 강성 강화 벨트를 사용한 1축 회전 실험 장치를 제작하고 실험을 수행하였다. 운동 방정식, 시뮬레이션 모델, 실험을 통하여 제안한 강성 강화 벨트를 적용하면 타이밍벨트의 강성과 동특성을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
