The utility model discloses a marine
propeller gearbox, which belongs to the technical field of marine propellers, and comprises a main box shell, a shaft
pipe sleeve is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the main box shell, a lower box shell is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the shaft
pipe sleeve, a
clutch mechanism is arranged in the main box shell, and the lower box shell is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the shaft
pipe sleeve. A gear shifting mechanism is arranged in the main box shell, and a transmission mechanism is arranged in the shaft pipe sleeve and the lower box shell. The
clutch mechanism and the gear shifting mechanism are arranged, the wet-type multi-plate
clutch is adopted as a
core component of the clutch mechanism, the clutch is composed of a plurality of
metal friction plates and a pressing device, the
metal friction plates are arranged alternately, the friction plates are soaked in lubricating oil, and the lubricating oil not only plays a cooling role, but also can provide a more stable
friction coefficient. According to the utility model, the gear shifting mechanism and the transmission mechanism are arranged, and the horizontal shaft design is used, so that the use cost is reduced.
