[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered below.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a transmission case device comprising: a transmission case 10 connected to an accessory transmission housing; a central gear 20, a first-layer transmission chain, a second-layer transmission chain, and a third-layer transmission chain disposed within the transmission case 10. The central gear 20 is rotatably mounted within the transmission case 10, with its power input end connected to the transmission chain within the accessory transmission housing.

The second-layer transmission chain comprises an auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40, a fuel regulator transmission chain 50, a hydraulic pump transmission chain 60, and a transmission case oil pump transmission chain 70. The input ends of the auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40, the fuel regulator transmission chain 50, and the hydraulic pump transmission chain 60 are respectively connected to the central gear 20, and their output ends are respectively connected to the corresponding auxiliary fuel pump, fuel regulator, and hydraulic pump. The transmission case oil pump transmission chain 70 has its input end connected to the hydraulic pump transmission chain 60, and its output end connected to the transmission case oil pump 72. The third-layer transmission chain includes a tachometer sensor transmission chain 80, the input end of which is connected to the hydraulic pump transmission chain 60, and the output end of which is connected to the tachometer sensor 82. The first, second, and third-layer transmission chains are sequentially arranged in layers along the axial direction of the central gear 20. The main fuel pump transmission chain 30, auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40, fuel regulator transmission chain 50, hydraulic pump transmission chain 60, transmission box oil pump transmission chain 70, and tachometer sensor transmission chain 80 each output power along the axial direction of the central gear 20.

[0029] The present invention designs a transmission box body device, and designs three layers (first layer transmission chain, second layer transmission chain and third layer transmission chain) in its narrow inner cavity, with a total of 6 internal transmission chains (main fuel pump transmission chain 30, auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40, fuel regulator transmission chain 50, hydraulic pump transmission chain 60, transmission box oil pump transmission chain 70 and tachometer sensor transmission chain 80), which drive a total of 6 accessories (main fuel pump, auxiliary fuel pump, hydraulic pump, tachometer sensor 82, transmission box oil pump 72, fuel regulator), which can not only realize the normal operation of the transmission box body and the accessory transmission system, but also can compactly install the 6 accessories on the transmission box body 10, thereby ensuring the reliability of the transmission operation of the transmission box body; in the device of the present invention, since the first layer transmission chain, the second layer transmission chain and the third layer transmission chain are along the central gear 20 The axial space is arranged in layers in sequence, and the main fuel pump transmission chain 30, the auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40, the fuel regulator transmission chain 50, the hydraulic pump transmission chain 60, the transmission box oil pump transmission chain 70 and the tachometer sensor transmission chain 80 respectively output power along the axial direction of the central gear 20. This structural layout not only enables the entire transmission chain space to realize transmission on three horizontal planes, but also makes the transmission chain more compact, the space arrangement more ingenious, the transmission efficiency higher, and the operation more reliable. It also makes the entire transmission box body device light in weight and smaller in size, which is only about one-third of the existing conventional transmission structure. The present invention has been implemented on a certain type of turboprop series engine. The results show that the transmission box body transmission device works reliably, achieves the design purpose, and has the application prospect of being promoted to a certain turboprop series engine, with good social benefits.

[0030] Alternatively, as Figure 2-4As shown, the transmission housing 10 comprises a mating transmission housing 11 and a transmission cover 12. The transmission housing 11 is connected to the bottom of the accessory transmission case. In this alternative embodiment, the transmission housing assembly is mounted outside the engine's accessory transmission case via the transmission housing 11. It serves as an independent transmission branch within the engine, with independent oil supply and return systems. This provides high transmission power, allowing for independent replacement of related gears, lubricating oil accessories, and even the entire transmission housing assembly in the field, making it easier to use and maintain. The central gear 20 comprises a central gear shaft, a central gear and a central pinion, axially arranged on the outer circumference of the central gear shaft. The central gear shaft is rotatably supported on the transmission housing 11 and the transmission cover 12, respectively. The central gear is located above the central pinion and adjacent to the transmission housing 11. The main fuel pump, auxiliary fuel pump, fuel regulator, hydraulic pump, and tachometer sensor 82 are connected to the outer surface of the transmission cover 12, respectively. The transmission oil pump 72 is connected to the transmission housing 11. In this optional solution, the central gear 20 is a double gear, so that the speed of the output shaft can be changed through the double gear, so that the entire transmission box device has multiple speeds, and the entire transmission chain space can realize transmission on three horizontal planes. The transmission chain is more compact, the spatial layout is more ingenious, the transmission efficiency is higher, the operation is more reliable, and the entire transmission box device is light in weight and smaller in size, which is only about one-third of the existing conventional accessory transmission structure.

[0031] In this option, if Figure 1 As shown, the transmission box housing 11 and the transmission box cover 12 are both aluminum alloy castings, and the transmission box housing 11 and the transmission box cover 12 are connected to form a box body with two positioning pins and 19 screws. The inner cavity has convex edges of each accessory transmission mechanism and its bearing seat. The entire transmission box body 10 is fixed to the accessory transmission casing through 10 holes. The inner wall of the positioning convex edge is also drilled with 4 holes, so that the lubricating oil in the accessory transmission casing leaks into the transmission box body 10 from this hole for lubricating the gears and bearings in the transmission box body 10.

[0032] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the main fuel pump transmission chain 30 includes a main fuel pump gear 31 and an external shaft extending from the main fuel pump. The main fuel pump gear 31 comprises a main fuel pump gear shaft and a main fuel pump gear plate fixedly mounted on the outer circumference of the main fuel pump gear shaft. The main fuel pump gear shaft is arranged parallel to the central gear shaft, with its ends rotatably supported on the transmission case housing 11 and the transmission case cover 12, respectively. The main fuel pump gear plate meshes with the outer portion of the central gear. The external shaft extending from the main fuel pump passes through the transmission case cover 12 and is coaxially connected to the main fuel pump gear shaft. During operation, the main fuel pump gear plate meshes with the outer portion of the central gear, thereby driving the main fuel pump gear 31 via the central gear 20. The internal splines of the main fuel pump gear 31 connect to the external shaft extending from the main fuel pump, thereby driving the main fuel pump. In this optional solution, since the main fuel pump gear shaft is arranged parallel to the central gear shaft, and the main fuel pump gear plate is externally meshed with the central large gear, this structural layout not only makes the structural layout compact, but also shortens the power transmission path in the transmission chain, increases the power transmission efficiency, and makes the power transmission more reliable.

[0033] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the fuel regulator drive chain 50 is coaxially arranged with the central gear 20, with its output end connected to the fuel regulator. A hydraulic pump drive chain 60 and a transmission box oil pump drive chain 70 are located on a first side of the central gear 20, with the output end of the hydraulic pump drive chain 60 connected to the hydraulic pump, and the output end of the transmission box oil pump drive chain 70 connected to the transmission box oil pump 72. The auxiliary fuel pump drive chain 40 is located on a second side of the central gear 20, with its output end connected to the auxiliary fuel pump. In this optional solution, since the fuel regulator transmission chain 50 is coaxially arranged with the central gear 20, the hydraulic pump transmission chain 60 and the transmission box oil pump transmission chain 70 are located on the first side of the central gear 20, and the auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40 is located on the second side of the central gear 20, this structural layout not only makes the overall structural layout compact and reasonable, but also the four transmission chains (auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40, fuel regulator transmission chain 50, hydraulic pump transmission chain 60 and transmission box oil pump transmission chain 70) are transmitted on the same horizontal plane, and the power transmission path in the transmission chain is short, the force transmission efficiency is high, and the force transmission is more reliable.

[0034] In this option, if Figure 2 As shown, the fuel regulator transmission chain 50 includes an extended shaft for the fuel regulator. The upper end of the extended shaft is coaxially connected to the central gear shaft, and the lower end is connected to the fuel regulator. During operation, the extended shaft engages the internal spline of the central pinion of the central gear 20, thereby driving the fuel regulator. In this alternative embodiment, the upper end of the extended shaft for the fuel regulator is coaxially connected to the central gear shaft. This structural layout not only makes the structure compact, but also shortens the power transmission path in the transmission chain, improves power transmission efficiency, and enhances power transmission reliability.

[0035] In this option, if Figure 2As shown, the auxiliary fuel pump transmission chain 40 includes an auxiliary fuel pump gear 41 and an externally extending shaft of the auxiliary fuel pump. The auxiliary fuel pump gear 41 includes an auxiliary fuel pump gear shaft and an auxiliary fuel pump gear plate fixedly mounted on the outer circumference of the auxiliary fuel pump gear shaft. The auxiliary fuel pump gear shaft is arranged parallel to the central gear shaft and is rotatably supported on the transmission case cover 12. The auxiliary fuel pump gear plate meshes with the external center pinion. The externally extending shaft of the auxiliary fuel pump passes through the transmission case cover 12 and is coaxially connected to the auxiliary fuel pump gear shaft. During operation, the auxiliary fuel pump gear plate meshes with the external center pinion, and the central gear 20 drives the auxiliary fuel pump gear 41 to rotate. The auxiliary fuel pump gear 41 is then connected to the externally extending shaft of the auxiliary fuel pump via an internal spline, thereby driving the auxiliary fuel pump. In this optional solution, since the auxiliary fuel pump gear shaft is arranged parallel to the central gear shaft, the auxiliary fuel pump gear plate is externally meshed with the central pinion, and the external extension shaft of the auxiliary fuel pump is coaxially connected to the auxiliary fuel pump gear shaft, this structural layout not only makes the structural layout compact, but also shortens the power transmission path in the transmission chain, has high power transmission efficiency, and is more reliable in power transmission.

[0036] In this option, if Figure 2 As shown, the hydraulic pump transmission chain 60 includes a hydraulic pump gear 61 and an extended shaft of the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump gear 61 comprises a hydraulic pump gear shaft, a hydraulic pump gearwheel, and a hydraulic pump pinion gear, which are axially mounted on the outer circumference of the hydraulic pump gear shaft. The hydraulic pump gear shaft is arranged parallel to the central gear shaft, and its ends are rotatably supported on the transmission box housing 11 and the transmission box cover 12, respectively. The hydraulic pump gearwheel is located above the hydraulic pump pinion gear and adjacent to the transmission box housing 11, and the hydraulic pump gearwheel and the central pinion gear are externally meshed. The extended shaft of the hydraulic pump passes through the transmission box cover 12 and is coaxially connected to the hydraulic pump gear shaft. During operation, the hydraulic pump gearwheel and the central pinion gear are externally meshed, driving the hydraulic pump gear 61 through the central gear 20. The hydraulic pump gear 61 is then connected to the extended shaft of the hydraulic pump via the rectangular internal spline on the hydraulic pump pinion gear, thereby driving the hydraulic pump. In this optional solution, since the hydraulic pump gear shaft is arranged parallel to the central gear shaft, and the hydraulic pump large gear is externally meshed with the central small gear, and the hydraulic pump's extended shaft is coaxially connected to the hydraulic pump gear shaft, this structural layout not only makes the structural layout compact, but also shortens the power transmission path in the transmission chain, increases the force transmission efficiency, and makes the force transmission more reliable.

[0037] In this optional solution, the hydraulic pump gear 61 is a double gear, and the speed of the output shaft can be changed by the double gear, so that the entire transmission box device has multiple speeds, and the entire transmission chain space can realize transmission on three horizontal planes. The transmission chain is more compact, the spatial layout is more ingenious, the transmission efficiency is higher, the operation is more reliable, and the entire transmission box device is light in weight and smaller in size, which is only about one-third of the conventional accessory transmission structure.

[0038] In this option, if Figure 2 As shown, the transmission box oil pump transmission chain 70 includes an oil pump transmission gear 71 for the transmission box oil pump 72. The oil pump transmission gear 71 includes an oil pump transmission gear shaft and an oil pump transmission gear plate mounted on the outer circumference of the oil pump transmission gear shaft. The oil pump transmission gear shaft is located within the transmission box oil pump 72 and is parallel to the hydraulic pump gear shaft. The oil pump transmission gear plate meshes with the outer gear of the hydraulic pump. During operation, the oil pump transmission gear 71 in the transmission box oil pump 72 meshes with the hydraulic pump gear of the hydraulic pump gear 61. This, in turn, drives the oil pump transmission gear 71 through the hydraulic pump gear 61, which in turn drives the transmission box oil pump 72. In this alternative solution, because the oil pump transmission gear shaft is parallel to the hydraulic pump gear shaft and the oil pump transmission gear plate meshes with the outer gear of the hydraulic pump, this structural layout not only makes the structure compact, but also shortens the power transmission path in the transmission chain, improves power transmission efficiency, and enhances power transmission reliability.

[0039] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the transmission case housing 11 is also provided with an oil inlet hole that communicates with the accessory transmission case, allowing the lubricating oil in the accessory transmission case to fall into the transmission case body 10. An oil flow path 101 is also provided on the inner wall of the transmission case housing 11. The oil flow path 101 communicates with the accessory transmission case, and the transmission case oil pump 72 is connected to the oil flow path 101. Under the action of the transmission case oil pump 72, the lubricating oil in the transmission case body 10 is pumped into the oil flow path 101, and then returned to the accessory transmission case through the oil flow path 101.

[0040] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the tachometer sensor transmission chain 80 includes a transmission box intermediate gear 81, a tachometer drive shaft 83 for a tachometer sensor 82, and a tachometer gear 84 mounted on the outer circumference of the tachometer drive shaft 83. The transmission box intermediate gear 81 includes an intermediate gear shaft and an intermediate gear fixedly mounted on the outer circumference of the intermediate gear shaft. The intermediate gear shaft is rotatably supported on the transmission box cover 12 and parallel to the hydraulic pump gear shaft. The intermediate gear meshes with the external pinion of the hydraulic pump. The tachometer drive shaft 83 is mounted on the tachometer sensor 82 and parallel to the intermediate gear shaft. The tachometer gear 84 meshes with the external pinion. During operation, the hydraulic pump pinion of the hydraulic pump gear 61 drives the transmission box intermediate gear 81, which in turn drives the tachometer gear 84. The tachometer gear 84's half-moon key connects to the tachometer drive shaft 83, thereby driving the tachometer sensor 82. In this optional solution, since the intermediate gear shaft is parallel to the hydraulic pump gear shaft, and the intermediate gear is externally meshed with the hydraulic pump pinion, and the tachometer gear 84 is externally meshed with the intermediate gear, this structural layout not only makes the structural layout compact, but also shortens the power transmission path in the transmission chain, increases the force transmission efficiency, and makes the force transmission more reliable.

Therefore, the aircraft engine of the present invention can not only realize the normal operation of the transmission box and the accessory transmission system, but also can compactly install 6 accessories on the transmission box 10, ensuring the reliability of the transmission operation of the transmission box, and realize the transmission on three horizontal planes in the entire transmission chain space.
