Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of continuously variable transmission (CVT) gearbox technology for aero-engines, and more specifically to a planetary gear transmission system for aero-engines capable of continuously variable transmission. Background Technology

[0002] The thermodynamic cycle characteristics of a typical aero-engine's bypass ratio are fixed. An engine can only achieve optimal performance under specific operating conditions and thermodynamic cycle characteristics. To further improve engine performance and fuel efficiency with a fixed bypass ratio, it is necessary to optimize the engine's internal design to meet the development requirements of high thrust and low fuel consumption. In the field of civil aero-engines, there is the GTF (Geared TurboFan) engine, which installs a planetary gearbox between the fan rotor and the low-pressure rotor. This allows the fan rotor to operate at low speeds while the low-pressure compressor operates at high speeds, improving compressor efficiency while increasing the fan diameter and thus the bypass ratio.

[0003] To achieve stepless speed control of the ducted fan rotor of an aero-engine, the power distribution method, operating speed, and working torque between the high-pressure rotor and the fan rotor are adjusted to optimize the performance, improve efficiency, or enhance economy of the aero-engine system. Therefore, a variable speed gear transmission system that can meet the requirements of aero-engines is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a planetary gear transmission system for aero-engines that can achieve continuously variable transmission, characterized in that:

[0005] It includes a first-stage differential planetary gear train, a second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear train, and a speed control system, all installed inside the gearbox.

[0006] The first-stage differential planetary gear train comprises a first-stage sun gear, several first-stage planet gears, a first-stage internal gear ring, a first-stage planet carrier, and the shafts and bearings of each gear. The first-stage sun gear is the power input terminal of the first-stage differential planetary gear train. The first-stage internal gear ring is either the power input or output terminal of the first-stage differential planetary gear train. The first-stage planet carrier is the power output terminal of the first-stage differential planetary gear train.

[0007] The second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear train comprises a second-stage internal gear ring, several second-stage planetary gears, a second-stage planetary carrier, a second-stage sun gear, and shafts and bearings for each gear. The second-stage internal gear ring serves as the power input to the second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear train. The first-stage planetary carrier of the first-stage differential planetary gear train supplies power to the second-stage internal gear ring. The second-stage sun gear serves as the power output to the entire transmission system.

[0008] The speed control system includes a speed-regulating motor and a transmission gear train. The shaft of the speed-regulating motor is connected to the first-stage internal gear ring of the first-stage differential planetary gear train via the transmission gear train.

[0009] During operation, the following working conditions apply:

[0010] An aviation-1 type capable of continuously variable transmission

[0011] Engine planetary gear transmission system

[0012] "One input, two outputs": The speed-regulating motor acts as the load, i.e., the generator. Engine power is input to the first-stage sun gear, while the first-stage internal gear ring and first-stage planetary carrier are the power output terminals of the first-stage differential planetary gear system. By changing the load on the speed-regulating motor, adjustable stepless speed change is achieved for the second-stage sun gear, which serves as the entire transmission system.

[0013] "Two inputs and one output": The speed-regulating motor is the input, i.e., the electric motor. Engine power is input to the first-stage sun gear, and the speed-regulating motor power is input to the first-stage internal gear ring. The first-stage planetary carrier serves as the power output of the first-stage differential planetary gear system. By changing the input speed and direction of rotation (forward or reverse) of the speed-regulating motor, adjustable stepless speed change of the second-stage sun gear, which is the second stage of the entire transmission system, is achieved.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer side of the first-stage internal gear ring has bevel teeth, making the first-stage internal gear ring equivalent to a large bevel gear meshing with the small bevel gear. The rotation axis of the first-stage internal gear ring is the rotation angle of the large bevel gear. The large bevel gear meshes with the small bevel gear, and the axis angle is 90°. The small bevel gear is transmitted to the rotation axis of the speed-regulating motor through the transmission gear train.

[0015] Furthermore, the transmission gear train of the speed regulating system includes a small bevel gear II and a large bevel gear II. The small bevel gear II and the large bevel gear II are coaxial. The small bevel gear II and the large bevel gear II are externally meshed. The small bevel gear II is coaxial with the speed regulating motor, and its axial direction is parallel to the axis of the first-stage sun gear. The small bevel gear II is driven by the speed regulating motor.

[0016] Furthermore, the input shaft is connected to the high-pressure rotor of the aero-engine; the output shaft is connected to the ducted fan rotor of the aero-engine.

[0017] The technical effects of this invention are undeniable, and it has the following technical effects:

[0018] 1. The planetary gear transmission system of aero-engine adopts the transmission mechanism based on the theory of "differential stepless speed regulation first, and then speed increase". The first-stage differential planetary gear train has two motion modes: "one input and two outputs" or "two inputs and one output".

[0019] 2. The first-stage differential planetary gear train is a deceleration process. It controls the output speed of the first-stage planetary carrier to be at a low speed, and then through the second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear train, it increases the speed of the first-stage planetary carrier from a low speed to the required speed.

[0020] 3. The large bevel gear and the first-stage internal gear ring are integral parts.

[0021] 4. When the first-stage differential planetary gear train operates with "one input and two outputs," the motion mode is a decomposed motion. Engine power is input to the first-stage sun gear, and the power is split to the first-stage internal ring gear and the first-stage planetary carrier. The first-stage internal ring gear and the first-stage planetary carrier are the power output ends of the first-stage differential planetary gear train. Decomposed motion means that motion or power can be synthesized from one input shaft and transmitted to the other two output shafts. By changing the proportion of motion decomposition, stepless speed regulation of the output shafts is achieved; that is, by changing the load on the speed regulating motor, adjustable stepless speed change of the gear transmission system is realized.

[0022] 5. When the first-stage differential planetary gear train operates with "two inputs and one output," the motion is a composite motion. Engine power is input to the first-stage sun gear, and the speed-regulating motor power is input to the first-stage internal ring gear. The two input powers merge and flow to the first-stage planet carrier, which serves as the power output end of the first-stage differential planetary gear train. This composite motion means that motion or power can be transmitted from two input shafts to another output shaft. By changing the input speed and direction of rotation of the two input components, stepless speed regulation of the output shaft is achieved. In other words, by changing the input speed and direction of rotation of the speed-regulating motor, adjustable stepless speed change of the gear transmission system is realized.

[0030] The first-stage differential planetary gear train (01) includes a planetary gear train consisting of a first-stage sun gear (0102), several first-stage planet gears (0103), a first-stage internal gear ring (0105), and a first-stage planet carrier (0110), as well as the shafts and matching bearings of each gear; the first-stage sun gear (0102) is the power input end of the first-stage differential planetary gear train (01); the first-stage internal gear ring (0105) is the power input end or power output end of the first-stage differential planetary gear train (01); the first-stage planet carrier (0110) is the power output end of the first-stage differential planetary gear train (01);

[0031] The second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear train (03) includes a planetary gear train consisting of a second-stage internal gear ring (0301), several second-stage planetary gears (0303), a second-stage planetary carrier (0306), a second-stage sun gear (0307), and the shafts and matching bearings of each gear; the second-stage internal gear ring (0301) is the power input end of the second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear train (03); the first-stage planetary carrier (0110) of the first-stage differential planetary gear train (01) inputs power to the second-stage internal gear ring (0301); the second-stage sun gear (0307) serves as the power output end of the entire transmission system;

[0032] The speed control system (02) includes a speed control motor (0203) and a transmission gear train; the shaft of the speed control motor (0203) is connected to the first internal gear ring (0105) of the first stage differential planetary gear train (01) through the transmission gear train;

[0033] During operation, the following working conditions apply:

[0034] "One input, two outputs": The speed-regulating motor (0203) is the load, which is the generator; the engine power is input to the first-stage sun gear (0102), and the first-stage internal gear ring (0105) and the first-stage planetary carrier (0110) are the power output ends of the first-stage differential planetary gear system (01); by changing the load size of the speed-regulating motor (0203), the adjustable stepless speed change of the second-stage sun gear (0307), which is the entire transmission system, is realized;

[0035] "Two inputs and one output": The speed-regulating motor (0203) is the input, that is, the electric motor; the engine power is input to the first-stage sun gear (0102), the speed-regulating motor (0203) power is input to the first-stage internal gear ring (0105), and the first-stage planetary carrier (0110) serves as the power output end of the first-stage differential planetary gear system (01); by changing the input speed and input rotation direction of the speed-regulating motor (0203), the adjustable stepless speed change of the second-stage sun gear (0307), which serves as the entire transmission system, is realized.

[0036] It is worth noting that, in use, the high-pressure rotor of the aero-engine is splinedly connected to the input shaft (0101) of the first-stage differential planetary gear system (01); the ducted fan rotor of the aero-engine is splinedly connected to the output shaft (0308) of the second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear system (03); the spline structure inside the input shaft (0101) and the output shaft (0308) can reduce the vibration and misalignment effects of the high-pressure rotor and the ducted fan rotor of the aero-engine on the gear transmission system.

[0037] In this embodiment, both stages employ NGW-type planetary gear trains, with a number of planetary gears in each stage. The first-stage differential planetary gear train (01) is a deceleration process, controlling the output speed of the first-stage planetary carrier (0110) to a low speed.

The number of planetary gears in the two-stage planetary gear trains can be adjusted according to the transmission power. The above design in this embodiment ensures that the gear transmission system has a compact structure and smaller size and weight.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1. Further, the large bevel gear (0115) and the first-stage internal gear ring (0105) are integral parts, that is, the outer side of the first-stage internal gear ring (0105) has bevel teeth, so that the first-stage internal gear ring (0105) is equivalent to the large bevel gear (0115) that meshes with the small bevel gear (0116). The rotation axis of the first-stage internal gear ring (0105) is the rotation angle of the large bevel gear (0115).

[0052] In the "one input, two outputs" operating condition (when the aero-engine requires the gear transmission system to perform disassembled motion), the engine power is input through the input shaft (0101). The input shaft (0101) and the first-stage sun gear (0102) are connected by a spline. Power is split from the first-stage sun gear (0102) to the first-stage internal gear ring (0105) and the first-stage planetary carrier (0110).

Another part of the power is transmitted from the first-stage planetary carrier (0110) through the external spline shaft (04) to the second-stage speed increaser planetary gear system (03) for speed increase output. This ensures that the engine is in ideal working condition, and only the speed regulating motor (0203) is changed to change the load size, so as to realize stepless speed change of the gear transmission system.

[0053] In the "two-input, one-output" operating condition (when the aero-engine requires a gear transmission system to perform composite motion), one part of the power is input from the engine through the input shaft (0101). The input shaft (0101) and the first-stage sun gear (0102) are connected by a spline. Power is transmitted from the first-stage sun gear (0102) to the first-stage planetary gear (0103). The other part of the power is from the speed regulating motor (0203), through the small bevel gear II (0202), the large bevel gear II (0201), and the small bevel gear. I(0116), large bevel gear I(0115) and first-stage internal gear ring (0105) are transmitted to the first-stage planetary gear (0103). The two parts are combined at the first-stage planetary gear (0103) and then transmitted to the second-stage speed-increasing planetary gear system (03) through the first-stage planetary carrier (0110) and external spline shaft (04) for speed-increasing output. This ensures that the engine, under ideal working conditions, only changes the input speed and input rotation direction of the speed regulating motor (0203) to achieve stepless speed change of the gear transmission system.
