Abstract:
A planetary transmission having a planet carrier with a carrier body and a plurality of carrier pins. The carrier body includes a pair of carrier plates, each of which having pin bosses that extend outwardly from a remaining portion of the carrier plate. The pin bosses on at least one of the carrier plates define an exterior surface with at least one step so that portions of the exterior surface of the pin bosses are spaced apart in an axial direction. The carrier pins have an axial ends with recesses formed therein such that each axial end of each carrier pin terminates in a thin wall section. The carrier pins are received through the carrier plates and the thin wall sections are deformed against the exterior surfaces of the pin bosses to retain the carrier pins to the carrier body.
Abstract:
A compound planet gear arrangement (1) comprising; a housing (10) enclosing an interior space; a first rotational in- or output shaft; a ring gear which is fixed or connectable to the first in- or output shaft; a sun wheel which is connectable to a second in- or output shaft; and at least two planet gear units. Each planet gear unit comprises a primary planet gear with primary planet teeth meshing with the ring gear and a secondary planet gear with secondary planet teeth meshing with the sun wheel, the secondary planet gear being axially connected with the primary planet gear by means of a planet shaft. The planet gear arrangement comprises a structural body (16) which is formed in one piece, arranged in the interior space and fixed to the housing (10), which structural body (16) exhibits a number axial bores (20a, 20b, 22a, 22b) arranged to define the absolute and relative positions of respective bearings by which the first in- or output shaft and the planet shafts are journaled to the structural body.
Abstract:
A gear-lever mechanism using meshing and pushing to rotate includes a shell (1), an input device, an output device, and a positioning device. The input device includes a driving gear (3). The output device includes a supporting frame (2) and a driven gear set. The positioning device includes a fixed bearing gear. The driven gear set includes a transfer-layer gear (5) and at least one over-bridge gear. The shaft center of the supporting shaft of each drive gear in the driven gear set of the output device is the sub-bearing point, wherein each drive gear is meshed with its adjacent drive gears to form two meshing points. The bearing point and the two meshing points form a triangular pushing area. At least two triangular pushing areas connected from head to tail form a meshing-pushing lever type torsion output path which is a curving connection driving from the driving gear (3) to the fixed bearing gear (4), so as to cause the gear set to rotate with a raising speed, and then the speed is reduced and the torque is increased, and the transmission efficiency of the gear is improved.
Abstract:
A transmission mechanism (110; 210) includes a planet gear (116; 216), a set of sun gear teeth (118; 218) and a set of ring gear teeth (120). The planet gear is configured to be mounted to a synchronization ring (108) for rotation relative to the synchronization ring about a planet gear axis (C). The set of sun gear teeth is meshed with teeth of the planet gear. The set of sun gear teeth is configured to rotate and drive motion of the planet gear in a circumferential direction about an axis (D) of the set of sun gear teeth. The set of ring gear teeth are meshed with the teeth of the planet gear. The set of sun gear teeth and the set of ring gear teeth are spaced apart from one another.
Abstract:
A gear train locking device having a locking device is provided. The gear train locking device includes a locking shaft having an outside diameter and a shaft axis. The locking shaft rotates about the shaft axis. Rotation of the locking shaft selectively moves the locking shaft between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The engaged position places the outside diameter of the locking shaft into engagement with at least one gear to provide physical interference between the locking shaft and the gear to change the rotational motion of at least one of the gears. Another embodiment includes a locking shaft that cooperates with a plurality of gears.
Abstract:
A planetary gear and a wind generator, in particular an off-show wind generator, comprising this planetary gear is provided. The planetary gear comprises a drive wheel engaging a transmission stage having first planetary gears, which are coupled to a number of second planet gears being axially displaced with respect to the first planet gears. The second planet gears engage a sun wheel, which is coupled to a driven shaft. The drive wheel is a hollow wheel having an internal gear. The second planet gears are divided into a first subset and a second subset of gears. The two subsets of gears are arranged in two separate planes being spaced from each other in an axial direction. Furthermore, the second planet gears of the first subset are arranged inside an interior space of the drive wheel.
Abstract:
A fan drive gear system includes at least one intermediate gear (140) that includes an axial gear passage for receiving and conveying a fluid suitable for cooling and/or lubricating. At least a first axial end (154) of the intermediate gear (140) includes a first fluid storage trap (170b) for capturing fluid entering and/or exiting the gear passage and storing the fluid therein during powered operation of the fan drive gear system. The fluid is capable of being passively supplied to the intermediate gear passage during an interrupted power event.
