摘要:
A boat thruster transmission unit (20) comprises a gear housing having first and second end plates (30, 40) and an annular gear (50) having an output shaft (54) rotatably supported between the end plates. The transmission further has at least three spaced sealable apertures (32) in the first end plate (30) for receiving optionally two or at least three corresponding drive shafts (62) of a corresponding number of electric motors (60) to be mounted on the first end plate for gear engagement with the annular gear.

A modular multi-engine system having a plurality of engines and a plurality of gear units each gear unit having at least one rotatable member and a drive shaft being driven by one of the plurality of engines, where at least one of the gear units is a main gear and the other peripheral gear unit(s). Each rotatable member of each gear unit engages at least one other rotatable member of an adjacent gear unit such as to ultimately transfer torque from all the engines operable in said modular multiengine system to an output drive shaft connected to said main gear unit. The rotatable member of at least one of the peripheral gear units is located at a different height than at least one other cogwheel of another gear unit. The main gear unit includes an upper rotatable member and a lower rotatable member coaxially connected being operatively associated via at least one transmission unit configured and located such as to transfer torque from the upper or lower rotatable member to the other lower or upper rotatable member, respectively.

A variator provided with a plurality of tilting spherical planets (522). In one embodiment, a variator is provided with multiple planet arrays (222A, 222B). In another embodiment, a hydraulic system is configured to control the transmission ratio of the IVT. Various inventive idler assemblies (562) and planet- pivot arm assemblies (579) can be used to facilitate adjusting the transmission speed ratio of an IVT. Embodiments of a transmission housing and bell housing (531) are adapted to house components of an IVT and, in some embodiments, to cooperate with other components of the IVT to support operation and/or functionality of the IVT. Various related devices include embodiments of, for example, a control feedback mechanism (292), axial force generation and management mechanisms (235), a control valve (1605) integral with an input shaft, and a rotatable carrier (515) configured to support planet-pivot arm assemblies (579).

The invention relates to an adapter assembly (1) for connecting a transmission unit (A) and a motor unit (B), comprising an adapter housing; at least one bearing (3A, 3B) which sits in the adapter housing; an adapter shaft (7) which is rotatably mounted in the bearing (3A, 3B) and which has a shaft axis; at least one lubricant chamber (4) which extends about the adapter shaft (7) in an annular manner for receiving lubricant, said lubricant chamber (4) being connected to the bearing (3A, 3B) such that the lubricant can be supplied from the lubricant chamber (4) to the bearing (3A, 3B); and a lubricant seal (16B) which surrounds the adapter shaft (7) on the motor side of the bearing (3B) for sealing the lubricant chamber (4) from the motor side of the adapter assembly (1). The adapter assembly (1) has at least one first channel (6i) through which lubricant can be supplied from the surroundings (5) of the adapter assembly (1) to the lubricant chamber (4). In the process, the lubricant chamber (4) is connected to the transmission side of the adapter assembly (1) via a transmission-side opening (17) of the adapter assembly (1), wherein the adapter shaft (7) can be accessed from the transmission side of the adapter assembly (1) via said opening, and/or the adapter assembly (1) has a second channel through which lubricant can be discharged from the lubricant chamber (4) into the surroundings (5) of the adapter assembly (1).
