Abstract: Helical gears are widely used in high-speed and heavy-duty situations due to their smooth transmission and many other advantages. When helical gear pair meshing, it is inevitable to be affected by friction, so it is necessary to take tooth surface friction into account when calculating the time-varying meshing stiffness(TVMS) of helical gear pair. Firstly, the helical gear is cut into micro-element slices of spur gear by slicing method, and then the meshing stiffness of micro-element slices is calculated by energy method. Finally, the accurate TVMS of helical gear pair is obtained by integral accumulation along the tooth width direction. The change rule of TVMS of helical gear pair under zero friction constant friction and time-varying friction is studied. The action mechanism of tooth surface roughness torque speed tooth width and other parameters on TVMS of helical gear pair under time-varying friction is revealed. The results show that the TVMS of helical gear pair will change under the action of friction; Under constant friction, the TVMS of helical gear pair will decrease, and the greater the constant friction coefficient, the smaller TVMS; Under the action of time-varying friction, the TVMS of helical gear pair will decrease with the increase of tooth surface roughness, increase with the increase of input torque, increase with the increase of speed and increase with the increase of tooth width.
