Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft engine gear transmission, and in particular to a star-shaped multi-shaft gear transmission system for an aircraft engine. Background Art

[0002] In the field of aero engines, it is necessary to realize a transmission gearbox with a small speed ratio, high speed, high power, and coaxial input and output shafts within a limited space size and weight range. The coaxial input and output structures of the prior art usually include two-stage parallel-stage herringbone gear transmission with the same center distance, several planetary gear trains and other structures. Under the same space size, the above structures have the disadvantages of insufficient power transmission of a single pair of herringbone gears, low motion accuracy and contact accuracy of two-stage multiple pairs of herringbone gear transmission, and several planetary gear train structures have the disadvantages of relatively large planetary gear train transmission, which are difficult to meet the design requirements. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a star-shaped multi-shaft gear transmission system for an aircraft engine, which is characterized by comprising an input shaft, a gear transmission system, and an output shaft.

[0004] The input shaft and the output shaft are respectively connected to the power input end and the output end of the gear transmission system through an external spline structure.

[0005] The gear transmission system mainly includes a split transmission part and a parallel transmission part installed in the casing, and a plurality of elastic load-balancing shafts (the elastic load-balancing shafts utilize the elastic deformation and torsion of the metal material itself) for connecting the split transmission part and the parallel transmission part.

[0006] The diversion transmission part includes a central spline shaft I, a central wheel I, and a number of diversion gear shafts equal to the number of elastic load-balancing shafts. The inner holes of the several diversion gear shafts I are interference-fitted with the outer circle of the elastic load-balancing shaft. The outer circle of the diversion gear shaft is processed with gear teeth to form a gear structure. The central wheel I is installed on the spline shaft I. The spline shaft I is the power input end of the gear transmission system. The central wheel I is a gear meshing with the surrounding several diversion gear shafts. The gear is a cylindrical herringbone gear.

[0007] The parallel transmission part includes a central spline shaft II, a central wheel II, and parallel gear shafts equal in number to the elastic load-balancing shafts. The outer circle of the parallel gear shaft is machined with gear teeth to form a gear structure. The several parallel gear shafts are all designed with internal spline structures and are spline-matched with the elastic load-balancing shaft. The central wheel II is installed on the spline shaft II. The spline shaft II is the power output end of the gear transmission system. The central wheel II is a gear meshing with the surrounding several parallel gear shafts. The gear is a cylindrical herringbone gear.

[0008] By changing the transmission ratio between the center wheel I and the splitter gear shaft and the transmission ratio between the center wheel II and the parallel gear shaft, the gear transmission system can be accelerated or decelerated. When working, the power is first transmitted to the center wheel I through the center spline shaft I, and then transmitted to the multiple splitter gear shafts meshing with the center wheel I, that is, "diverted" to the multiple splitter gear shafts meshing with the center wheel I, and then transmitted to the multiple parallel gear shafts through the elastic load-balancing shaft that is restrained by the interference fit with the multiple splitter gear shafts, and finally transmitted to the multiple parallel gear shafts.

[0009] The center wheel II that meshes with the outside of the gear shaft is turned, that is, it is finally "turned in parallel" to the center wheel II that meshes with the outside of several parallel gear shafts.

[0010] Furthermore, the casing also includes an intermediate bearing seat between the flow-dividing transmission part and the paralleling transmission part. The intermediate bearing seat is used to install bearings supporting the flow-dividing gear shaft and the paralleling gear shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the gearbox casing is a cylindrical structure with two open ends and a substantially hollow interior. The casing is provided with a lubricating oil inlet hole, a lubricating oil return hole, a vent hole, and a lubricating oil passage. The front opening of the casing is sealed with a bearing seat I and an input end cover. The rear opening of the casing is sealed with a bearing seat III and an output end cover.

[0012] Further, the input end cover is fixed to the bearing seat 1 by screws. The connecting plate and the bearing seat 1 are fixed to the gearbox casing by screws. The plurality of bearings are installed in the bearing holes on the bearing seat 1. The outer ring baffle plate 1 of the bearing is fixed to the bearing seat 1 by screws. The plurality of oil injection pipes 1 are fixed to the bearing seat 1 by screws.

[0013] Further, the output end cover is fixed to the bearing seat III by screws. The bearing seat III is fixed to the gearbox casing by screws. The plurality of bearings are installed in the bearing holes on the bearing seat III. The plurality of bearing outer ring baffles III are fixed to the bearing seat III by screws. The plurality of oil injection pipes II are fixed to the bearing seat III by screws.

[0014] The technical effect of the present invention is unquestionable. The system is based on the theory of "diverging first and then merging". After "diverging" and before "merging", the elastic load-sharing shaft ensures that the transmission power on each diverging gear shaft and the merging gear shaft is basically consistent through its own torsional deformation, that is, the consistency of the transmission power on each transmission shaft after "diverging" and before "merging" is improved. In addition, the use of matching structures such as splines to form appropriate floating in the axial and radial directions can improve the load-sharing capacity of the gearbox during "diverging" and "merging".

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The gear transmission system (02) mainly includes a flow-dividing transmission part (22) and a parallel transmission part (23) installed in a casing (0206), and a plurality of elastic load-balancing shafts (0204) for connecting the flow-dividing transmission part (22) and the parallel transmission part (23);

[0026] The diversion transmission part includes a central spline shaft I (2206), a central wheel I (2205), and a number of diversion gear shafts (2204) equal to the number of elastic load-balancing shafts (0204); the inner holes of the plurality of diversion gear shafts I (2204) are interference-fitted with the outer circle of the elastic load-balancing shaft (0204); the outer circle of the diversion gear shaft (2204) is machined with gear teeth to form a gear structure; the central wheel I (2205) is installed on the spline shaft I (2206); the spline shaft I (2206) is the power input end of the gear transmission system (02); the central wheel I (2205) is a gear meshing with the surrounding plurality of diversion gear shafts (2204); the gear is a cylindrical herringbone gear; further, the diversion transmission part also includes a plurality of bearing inner ring baffles I (2202) and a plurality of wind shields I (2203);
