Based on the working conditions of the variable center distance non-circular gear pair, this research provides the rounding theories and methods for the theoretical pitch curves of the gear pair, including establish the working conditions model of the variable center distance non-circular gear pair; group and classify the instantaneous working conditions and the instantaneous meshing arcs; design rounding algorithms for instantaneous meshing arc group category 1, 2, and 3; and propose the dynamic allocation strategy for distribute the total rounding amount on each pair of instantaneous meshing arcs. Finally, with the help of a variable center distance non-circular gear pair example, this research successfully proved the correctness and effectiveness of the above rounding theory and method, achieve the goal of rounding the theoretical pitch curves of the variable center distance non-circular gear pair.
