Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft, in particular to a rotor speed reduction device and a helicopter. Background Art
[0002] At present, helicopters are one of the main forces in the field of general aviation. They usually have unique vertical take-off and landing capabilities. They can hover in the air, fly forward, backward, left, and right in any direction, and can take off and land in unprepared places or rooftop platforms. This is irreplaceable by fixed-wing aircraft and other means of transportation. Among them, the helicopter main reducer is one of the main transmission components on the helicopter. It reduces the high-speed, low-torque engine power and converts it into low-speed, high-torque power to transmit to the rotor shaft, and transmits the power to the tail rotor according to the speed and torque requirements. In addition to transmitting power, the helicopter main reducer also directly bears all the forces and torques generated by the rotor and transmits them to the fuselage, playing the role of a central force-bearing component.
[0003] At present, the main reducer of helicopters has high power and transmission ratio. When the rotor shaft is at a forward tilt angle, the input shaft is parallel to the tail shaft, but not orthogonal to the rotor shaft. Therefore, a transmission form of non-orthogonal bevel gears and planetary gears is usually used. However, the combination of non-orthogonal bevel gears and planetary gears has obvious disadvantages: (1) The transmission ratio of a single-stage non-orthogonal bevel gear transmission is generally within 3, and its transmission ratio is relatively small. As a result, in order to achieve the purpose of a large speed ratio of the main reducer, it is necessary to connect a multi-stage planetary gear system in series after the non-orthogonal bevel gear, and its power density will be limited; (2) Bevel gears are usually manufactured and used in pairs, and the interchangeability of parts is poor. They need to be replaced in pairs, which has high maintenance costs, great difficulty, and long cycles; (3) Due to processing errors and installation errors, the cone top angle cannot overlap, resulting in an unstable transmission ratio, unstable transmission, and prone to fatigue problems; (4) When multiple pairs of bevel gear pairs are meshed at the same time, because the smaller bevel gears need to withstand a large axial force, the axial force on the shaft is large, the support structure is complex, and the installation and adjustment are difficult. Summary of the invention

[0018] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.
[0019] The present invention discloses a rotor speed reduction device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a rotor assembly 1, a power input assembly 2, a tail transmission assembly 3 and a reduction assembly 4. The rotor assembly 1 includes a rotor shaft 11, and the reduction assembly 4 includes a first non-orthogonal face gear 41 and a second non-orthogonal face gear 42 arranged on the rotor shaft 11 from top to bottom, and the tooth surface diameter of the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 is smaller than the tooth surface diameter of the second non-orthogonal face gear 42. The power input assembly 2 includes a first cylindrical gear 21, and the first cylindrical gear 21 is meshed and connected with the second non-orthogonal face gear 42. The tail transmission assembly 3 includes a second cylindrical gear 31, and the second cylindrical gear 31 is meshed and connected with the first non-orthogonal face gear 41.
[0020] Through the implementation of the above rotor reduction device embodiment, a power input assembly 2, a tail transmission assembly 3 and a reduction assembly 4 are arranged on the rotor shaft 11, and the first cylindrical gear 21 is meshed and connected with the second non-orthogonal face gear 42, so that the input power can be transmitted to the second non-orthogonal face gear 42, and the second non-orthogonal face gear 42 drives the rotor shaft 11 to rotate, so as to reduce the input power of high speed and small torque, and convert it into low speed and large torque power to be transmitted to the rotor shaft 11. And by meshing and connecting the second cylindrical gear 31 with the first non-orthogonal face gear 41, and the coaxial transmission of the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 and the second non-orthogonal face gear 42, the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 continues to transmit the input power to the second cylindrical gear 31, and the second cylindrical gear 31 outputs it to the tail rotor and other components. Since the tail rotor usually does not need as high a rotation speed as the rotor, the first cylindrical gear 21 and the second non-orthogonal face gear 42 form a first-stage reduction, and the second cylindrical gear 31 and the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 form a second-stage reduction. The tail rotor part has a larger torque and a higher rotation speed through two reductions. At the same time, the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 has a smaller tooth surface diameter and can bear a smaller power output, so that the rotation speed of the output tail rotor part can be further reduced, thereby allowing the power requirements of the rotor shaft 11 and the tail rotor to be optimally distributed, effectively improving the driving efficiency of the rotor shaft 11 and the tail rotor part.
[0021] As described above, the embodiment of the present invention applies non-orthogonal face gears to the main reduction system of the helicopter. The transmission angle of the non-orthogonal face gears is adjustable and can be flexibly arranged to meet the design requirements of any forward inclination angle of the rotor shaft 11. The transmission method of cylindrical gears and face gears is adopted, and its maximum transmission ratio can reach 20, so as to achieve a larger speed ratio of the whole machine, so that the transmission ratio of the rotor reduction device of the embodiment of the present invention is stable, and the power density is effectively improved. At the same time, since the non-orthogonal face gears and cylindrical gears can be processed separately, they can be used together. Therefore, if the cylindrical gears are damaged, only a single replacement is required, and there is no need to replace them in pairs, and the rework cost is low and the cycle is short. Furthermore, the meshing of the non-orthogonal face gears and the cylindrical gears has a large tooth surface overlap, stable operation, and significantly reduces the gear contact stress and bending stress. In addition, the axial degree of freedom of the cylindrical gears is relatively high, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of gear installation and adjustment.
[0022] Furthermore, the rotor reduction device further includes a transmission case 5 disposed on the rotor shaft 11, and the transmission case 5 rotates relative to the rotor shaft 11. The interior of the transmission case 5 forms a closed accommodation chamber, the reduction assembly 4 is located in the accommodation chamber, and the power input assembly 2 and the tail transmission assembly 3 are both disposed on the transmission case 5.
[0023] Through the implementation of the above rotor reduction device embodiment, the transmission case 5 is used to position and protect the reduction assembly 4, the power input assembly 2 and the tail transmission assembly 3, so as to ensure smooth transmission between the reduction assembly 4, the power input assembly 2 and the tail transmission assembly 3, and reduce the influence of external factors on the transmission reduction. In addition, the transmission case 5 is used to rotate relative to the rotor shaft 11, so that the transmission case 5 is fixed, so that the rotor shaft 11 can rotate stably after being driven by the reduction assembly 4.
[0024] Further, the transmission casing 5 includes a transmission upper casing 51 and a transmission lower casing 52 connected to the transmission upper casing 51. A first assembly channel communicating with the accommodating chamber is provided between the transmission upper casing 51 and the transmission lower casing 52, and the power input assembly 2 also includes a power input shaft 22 provided in the first assembly channel, and an input bearing 23 provided on the power input shaft 22. The power input shaft 22 is rotationally connected to the transmission upper casing 51 and the transmission lower casing 52 respectively through the input bearing 23, and the first cylindrical gear 21 is provided on the inner side end of the power input shaft 22.
[0025] Through the implementation of the above rotor speed reduction device embodiment, the transmission casing 5 is divided into a transmission upper casing 51 and a transmission lower casing 52, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the speed reduction assembly 4, the power input assembly 2 and the tail transmission assembly 3, and facilitate the maintenance and replacement of related components. The power input shaft 22 is directly connected to the output shaft of the driving mechanism such as the engine, allowing the power input shaft 22 to adapt to different types of input power, and using the input bearing 23 set on the power input shaft 22, it is ensured that the power input shaft 22 rotates smoothly after receiving the input power, and avoids the wear caused by contact with the transmission upper casing 51 and the transmission lower casing 52, and can also reduce the vibration and noise during the transmission process. By setting the first cylindrical gear 21 on the inner side end of the power input shaft 22, the power input shaft 22 can transmit the input power to the second non-orthogonal face gear 42 through the first cylindrical gear 21.
[0026] Furthermore, the outer end of the power input shaft 22 extends out of the transmission casing 5 along the first assembly channel, and an input flange 24 is provided on the outer end of the power input shaft 22 .
[0027] Through the implementation of the above rotor reduction device embodiment, the power input shaft 22 can be more easily connected or disconnected with external components, such as the engine output shaft, by using the input flange 24, so as to facilitate installation, disassembly and maintenance. The input flange 24 provides a solid connection point that can withstand high torque and dynamic loads, can enhance the structural strength of the entire transmission system, and can adapt to engine output shafts of different specifications, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the system.
[0028] Furthermore, a second assembly channel communicating with the accommodating chamber is provided on the transmission upper half case 51. The tail transmission assembly 3 also includes a tail transmission output shaft 32 disposed in the second assembly channel, and an output bearing 33 disposed on the tail transmission output shaft 32. The tail transmission output shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the transmission upper half case 51 through the output bearing 33, and the second cylindrical gear 31 is disposed on the inner side end of the tail transmission output shaft 32.
[0029] Through the implementation of the above rotor speed reduction device embodiment, the tail transmission output shaft 32 is directly connected to the tail rotor part, and the second cylindrical gear 31 is set on the inner side end of the tail transmission output shaft 32, so that the tail transmission output shaft 32 can output power to the tail rotor part through the meshing transmission of the second cylindrical gear 31 and the first non-orthogonal face gear 41. The output bearing 33 set on the tail transmission output shaft 32 is used to ensure that the tail transmission output shaft 32 rotates smoothly after receiving power transmission, and avoids wear caused by contact with the transmission upper half box 51, and can also reduce vibration and noise during the transmission process.
[0030] Furthermore, the outer end of the tail transmission output shaft 32 extends out of the transmission upper half box 51 along the second assembly channel, and an output flange 34 is provided on the outer end of the tail transmission output shaft 32 .
[0031] By implementing the above rotor reduction device embodiment, the output flange 34 is used to make it easier for the tail transmission output shaft 32 to be connected or disconnected from the tail rotor part, so as to facilitate installation, disassembly and maintenance. The output flange 34 provides a strong connection point that can withstand high torque and dynamic load to enhance the structural strength of the entire transmission system.
[0032] Furthermore, a top guide cylinder matched with the rotor shaft 11 is provided at the top of the transmission upper half box 51, and a bottom guide cylinder matched with the rotor shaft 11 is provided at the bottom of the transmission lower half box 52. The rotor assembly 1 also includes a top rotor shaft 11 bearing and a bottom rotor shaft 11 bearing provided on the rotor shaft 11. The rotor shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the top guide cylinder through the top rotor shaft 11 bearing, and the rotor shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom guide cylinder through the bottom rotor shaft 11 bearing.
[0033] By implementing the above rotor speed reduction device embodiment, the top guide cylinder and the bottom guide cylinder are arranged to provide accurate guidance for the installation of the rotor shaft 11. And by using the top rotor shaft 11 bearing and the bottom rotor shaft 11 bearing arranged on the rotor shaft 11, through the cooperation of the guide cylinder and the bearing, the motion trajectory of the rotor shaft 11 is controlled to prevent the rotor shaft 11 from deflecting during the rotation process, ensure the smooth and accurate rotation of the rotor, and avoid the wear of the rotor shaft 11 caused by axial or radial movement.
[0034] Furthermore, the second non-orthogonal face gear 42 includes a first gear ring 421, a first transmission ring 422 located below the first gear ring 421, and a connecting arm 423 connecting the first gear ring 421 and the first transmission ring 422. A plurality of first gear teeth are arranged circumferentially on the top surface of the first gear ring 421, and the first gear teeth are in a non-orthogonal structure with the central axis of the first gear ring 421 in the horizontal direction. The inner diameter of the first transmission ring 422 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first gear ring 421, and a first connecting seat 111 is provided on the shaft wall of the rotor shaft 11, and the first connecting seat 111 is connected to the top surface of the first transmission ring 422. Among them, a plurality of connecting arms 423 are provided along the circumference of the first transmission ring 422.
[0035] Through the implementation of the above-mentioned rotor reduction device embodiment, the first cylindrical gear 21 is meshed with the second non-orthogonal face gear 42 to form a first-stage reduction, so as to transmit the input power to the second non-orthogonal face gear 42, and the second non-orthogonal face gear 42 drives the rotor shaft 11 to rotate and continue to transmit power upward. Therefore, the power transmission direction of the entire rotor reduction device is from bottom to top. The first connecting seat 111 on the rotor shaft 11 is connected to the top surface of the first transmission ring 422 to ensure that the power can be effectively transmitted from bottom to top to the rotor shaft 11, effectively improving the transmission efficiency. And by utilizing the structure of the second non-orthogonal face gear 42, the first cylindrical gear 21 transmits the input power to the rotor shaft 11 in sequence along the first gear ring 421, the connecting arm 423 and the first transmission ring 422. Since the inner diameter of the first transmission ring 422 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first gear ring 421, the rotation speed transmitted to the rotor shaft 11 can be further reduced, thereby optimizing the transmission efficiency of the second non-orthogonal face gear 42, so as to meet the second non-orthogonal face gear 42 to decelerate the input power of high speed and small torque, and convert it into low speed and large torque power to transmit to the rotor shaft 11. Among them, by utilizing the setting of multiple connecting arms 423, a stable connection and transmission structure is provided between the first gear ring 421 and the first transmission ring 422.
[0036] Furthermore, the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 includes a second gear ring 411, and a second transmission ring 412 located below the second gear ring 411. The inner diameter of the second transmission ring 412 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second gear ring 411, and the second gear ring 411 is arranged on the top surface of the second transmission ring 412. A plurality of second gear teeth are arranged circumferentially on the top surface of the second gear ring 411, and the second gear teeth are in a non-orthogonal structure with the central axis of the second gear ring 411 in the horizontal direction. A second connecting seat 112 is arranged on the shaft wall of the rotor shaft 11 above the first connecting seat 111, and the second connecting seat 112 is connected to the bottom surface of the second transmission ring 412.
[0037] Through the implementation of the above rotor reduction device embodiment, the second connection seat 112 on the rotor shaft 11 is used to connect the bottom surface of the second transmission ring 412 to ensure that the power can be effectively transmitted from bottom to top to the second cylindrical gear 31, effectively improving the transmission efficiency. Compared with the difference in structure with the second non-orthogonal face gear 42, since the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 directly transmits the input power to the second cylindrical gear 31, and the second cylindrical gear 31 outputs it to the tail rotor and other components. Therefore, the second gear ring 411 of the first non-orthogonal face gear 41 is directly integrated with the second transmission ring 412 to ensure transmission efficiency.
[0038] Preferably, the rotor assembly 1 further comprises an upper shaft casing 6 and a lower shaft casing 7 which are sequentially sleeved on the rotor shaft 11 from top to bottom, the upper shaft casing 6 is connected to the lower shaft casing 7, and the lower shaft casing 7 is connected to the top guide cylinder at the top of the transmission upper half casing 51. A shaft bearing 8 is also provided on the rotor shaft 11, so that the rotor shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the upper shaft casing 6 and the lower shaft casing 7 through the shaft bearing 8.
[0039] The invention also discloses a helicopter, which adopts the above-mentioned rotor reduction device. The helicopter comprises a body and the rotor reduction device arranged on the body.
[0040] Through the implementation of the above-mentioned helicopter, the flight efficiency of the helicopter can be effectively improved by using the rotor reduction device, so that the helicopter of the embodiment of the invention can obtain higher lift under the same power.
