[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a transmission device, which is installed on an aircraft engine and is used to start the engine and extract power from the gas generator rotor 23 and the power turbine rotor 32 to ensure the normal operation of the engine accessories installed thereon, including: a casing assembly 1, a first transmission chain 2 and a second transmission chain 3, the first transmission chain 2 and the second transmission chain 3 are both arranged in the casing assembly 1, and the first transmission chain 2 is located above the second transmission chain 3.

[0022] Optionally, the casing assembly 1 includes a first casing 11 and a second casing 12, wherein the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are fixedly connected by a locating pin, and there are two locating pins, and the two locating pins are passed between the two ends of the first casing 11 and the second casing 12. It should be noted that the two ends of the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 respectively have protruding blocks, and the two locating pins respectively pass through the protruding blocks to fix the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 together, and the first transmission chain 2 is arranged on the first casing 11, and the second transmission chain 3 is arranged on the second casing 12. The first transmission chain 2 is arranged to face the second transmission chain 3. Since the first casing 11 is always located on the second casing 12 during installation and use, the first transmission chain 2 is also above the second transmission chain 3. Optionally, the first casing 11 is a front casing, and the second casing 12 is a rear casing.

[0023] Specifically, the first transmission chain 2 includes a first transmission part 21 and a transmission wheel component 22, one end of the first transmission part 21 is transmission-connected to the generator rotor 23, and the other end is transmission-connected to the transmission wheel component 22, and the transmission wheel component 22 is transmission-connected to the first motor 4 in the casing assembly 1. Figure 2 As shown, the second transmission chain 3 includes a second transmission part 31 and a turbine rotor 32, one end of the second transmission part 31 is transmission-connected to the turbine rotor 32, and the other end is transmission-connected to the second motor 8 in the casing assembly 1. Power is extracted from the generator rotor 23 through the first transmission part 21 and the transmission wheel component 22 in the first transmission chain 2, and power is extracted from the turbine rotor 32 by the second transmission part 31 in the second transmission chain 3, thereby improving the transmission power and meeting the user's requirements for high-power power generation, etc. At the same time, the transmission wheels in the two transmission chains are all cylindrical gears, which are low in cost and high in reliability, and can be easily maintained by disassembling the casing assembly 1 and various components thereon.

It should be noted that each transmission wheel in the driven cylindrical wheel 221, the driving cylindrical wheel 222 and the transmission wheel component 22 is a cylindrical gear. Since each cylindrical gear produced is simpler, the overall cost is reduced, and the cylindrical gear is less sensitive to changes in the external environment. During installation, the axial and radial movements of the shaft will not cause changes in the side clearance, and the gears will not get stuck, which greatly improves the life of the gears. Optionally, the driving cylindrical wheel 222 is connected to the end of the driven cylindrical wheel 221 along the axial direction of the driven cylindrical wheel 221, the driving cylindrical wheel 222 and the generator rotor 23 are perpendicular to each other, and the transmission wheel component 22 and the driven cylindrical wheel 221 are also perpendicular to each other.

It should be noted that the intermediate gear 332 and the power generation gear 333 can also be cylindrical gears. Since each transmission part in the present invention has no central transmission shaft, the poor processability, difficult dynamic balance and poor working conditions of the traditional central transmission shaft are avoided, so that each transmission part of the present invention has higher reliability. Optionally, the second transmission part 31 also includes a first bearing part 33 arranged in the casing assembly 1, and the output shaft 331 is arranged in the first bearing part 33. Among them, the power generation gear 333 is a high-power power generation gear 333.

Power is extracted from the generator rotor 23 through the driving cylindrical gear and the driven cylindrical gear, and then the starter generator 42 and the AC generator 41 are driven through the driven cylindrical wheel 221, the driving cylindrical wheel 222 and the cylindrical gears in the transmission wheel component 22. Optionally, the AC generator 41 and the starter generator 42 can be detachably arranged on the edge of the first casing 11.

It should be noted that the lubricating oil pump 5 and the electronically controlled regulator 6 can be driven by the respective transmission gears, so that the lubricating oil pump 5 and the electronically controlled regulator 6 can be started and work normally.

[0029] In one embodiment, a second motor 8 is detachably provided on the edge of the second casing 12. Optionally, the second motor 8 is a high-power generator, which is detachably provided on the edge of the second casing 12, extracts power through the output shaft 331 and the turbine rotor 32 via a spline connection, and then transmits power to the high-power power generation gear 333 through the intermediate gear 332, thereby driving the high-power generator to meet the user's needs for high-power power generation or extraction of relatively large power.

[0030] In one embodiment, it also includes a detection component 7, which is detachably arranged at the edge of the casing assembly 1. It should be noted that the detection component 7 includes an oil filter assembly 73, a detection signaler 70, a combination sensor 71 and a pressure sensor 72. Optionally, the detection signaler 70 is used to detect magnetic chips, the combination sensor 71 is used to detect the size of the lubricating oil temperature and pressure, and the pressure sensor 72 can be a P3 pressure sensor 72. The temperature and pressure on each related component are detected by each detector in the detection component 7 and fed back to the terminal in time, so as to facilitate monitoring whether the operating environment of each component is normal. The magnetic chip detection signaler 70 can effectively detect and respond to tiny metal chips in the device, thereby preventing potential failures. The oil filter assembly 73 can remove impurities and contaminants in the engine oil, ensure the cleanliness of the engine oil, and thus ensure the normal operation of the engine. Specifically, the oil filter assembly 73, the magnetic chip detection signaler 70, the lubricating oil temperature and pressure combination sensor 71 and the pressure sensor 72 are all fastened in the casing assembly 1 by bolts and nuts, and have good maintainability.

[0031] In summary, the present invention can extract power from the generator rotor 23 and the turbine rotor 32 respectively through two independent transmission chains, and the power transmission is relatively high, which can meet the user's requirements for high-power power generation, etc. At the same time, all transmission chains use cylindrical gears, which have low cost and high reliability, and each rotating accessory is arranged on the circumferential edge of the casing assembly 1, which is convenient for installation and disassembly and has good maintainability.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
