In addition, it should be noted that, in order to facilitate the description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, rather than all the structures.

[0035] In wind turbine main gearboxes, the primary planetary gear bearings, which bear the heaviest loads, are typically three- or four-row cylindrical roller bearings, with each row having identical dimensions. When the primary planetary pins are subjected to eccentric loads under certain operating conditions, the bearings at the pin ends experience higher contact stress under load. This results in a shorter lifespan for the bearings at the pin ends compared to those in the middle of the pin, requiring timely replacement or disassembly and repair by maintenance personnel, thus increasing the gearbox's maintenance costs.
[0036] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a planetary transmission mechanism and gearbox to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a planetary transmission mechanism, which includes a rotating shaft 1, an inner ring 2, rolling elements 3, and a rotating element 4. Multiple inner rings 2 and multiple rolling elements 3 are provided. Multiple inner rings 2 are sequentially sleeved on the rotating shaft 1 along its axial direction. Each inner ring 2 has a set of rolling elements 3 spaced circumferentially around its outer periphery. The radial cross-sectional dimension of the rolling element 3 closest to one end face of the rotating shaft 1 is larger than the radial cross-sectional dimension of the other sets of rolling elements 3. The rotating element 4 is rotatably connected to the inner ring 2 through the rolling elements 3. Multiple sets of rolling elements 3 are sandwiched between the inner ring 2 and the rotating element 4.
[0038] In this embodiment, multiple inner rings 2 and rolling elements 3 are provided. Multiple inner rings 2 are sequentially sleeved on the rotating shaft 1 along its axial direction. A set of rolling elements 3 is spaced circumferentially around the outer periphery of each inner ring 2. This arrangement can more effectively transmit and distribute loads, making the entire planetary transmission mechanism more stable. The radial cross-sectional dimension of the rolling element 3 closest to one end face of the rotating shaft 1 is larger than that of the other sets of rolling elements 3. When the rotating shaft 1 is subjected to eccentric loads, the rolling element 3 with a larger radial cross-sectional dimension can better distribute stress, reduce contact stress per unit area, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the planetary transmission mechanism and extending its service life. A rotating element 4 is rotatably connected to the inner ring 2 via the rolling elements 3. Multiple sets of rolling elements 3 are sandwiched between the inner ring 2 and the rotating element 4, ensuring that the rotating element 4 can rotate freely relative to the rotating shaft 1 and the inner ring 2, improving the overall compactness of the planetary transmission mechanism. Through the above arrangement, the planetary transmission mechanism of this embodiment can improve its service life and reduce operating costs.
[0039] It should be noted that one set of rolling elements 3 includes a plurality of rolling elements 3, which can be two, three, or four, etc., and the specific number of rolling elements 3 in each set is not limited here.
[0040] The specific structure of the planetary transmission mechanism will be described below:
[0041] Specifically, the planetary transmission mechanism further includes a planet carrier 5, the rotating shaft 1 is arranged on the planet carrier 5, and the inner ring 2 is limited in the planet carrier 5. By arranging the planet carrier 5 to limit the position of the inner ring 2, it is ensured that the inner ring 2 and the rolling elements 3 work in the correct position, and the use safety of the planetary transmission mechanism is improved. The planet carrier 5 is a double-wall split type planet carrier or a double-wall integral type planet carrier, and the specific structure of the planet carrier 5 is not limited here as long as the above functions can be achieved.
[0042] More specifically, the planet carrier 5 is in clearance fit with the inner ring 2 near the end of the rotating shaft 1. Such an arrangement not only facilitates installation, but also allows the planet carrier 5 and the inner ring 2 to have certain thermal expansion and slight displacement to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0043] More specifically, the size of the clearance between the planet carrier 5 and the inner ring 2 near the end of the rotating shaft 1 is 0.5-1.5 mm in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1, which not only ensures the compactness of the planetary transmission mechanism, but also ensures the stability of the overall structure. For example, the size of the clearance between the planet carrier 5 and the inner ring 2 near the end of the rotating shaft 1 is 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, or 1.5 mm.
[0044] Specifically, the rotating element 4 is provided with a limiting portion 41, which is clamped between two adjacent rolling elements 3 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the planetary transmission mechanism and preventing the rotating element 4 from moving in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1.
[0045] More specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating element 4 is a bevel gear, which abuts against the plurality of rolling elements 3. Since the rolling elements 3 have a small friction coefficient, it is ensured that the bevel gear can freely rotate around its own axis. The limiting portion 41 is a protruding block, which is arranged in the shaft hole of the bevel gear along the circumferential direction of the bevel gear. This not only facilitates the assembly of the bevel gear, but also ensures the axial positioning of the bevel gear by clamping the protruding block between two adjacent rolling elements 3, thereby preventing the bevel gear from moving. In other embodiments, the rotating element 4 is a cylindrical gear, and the limiting portion 41 is a convex ridge. The specific structure of the rotating element 4 and the limiting portion 41 is not limited here as long as the above functions can be achieved.
[0046] More specifically, in the embodiment, the rolling members 3 are cylindrical rollers, and the contact between the rolling members 3 and the inner ring 2 is linear contact, so that the planetary transmission mechanism can bear larger radial load, and the friction coefficient of the cylindrical rollers is relatively small, which helps to reduce the energy loss and heat generation of the planetary transmission mechanism during operation. In other embodiments, the rolling members 3 are spherical rollers, and the specific structure of the rolling members 3 is not limited here as long as the above functions can be achieved.
[0047] Specifically, in the embodiment, the rotating member 4 is provided with a stepped portion 11, and the rolling members 3 near the end of the rotating shaft 1 abut against the stepped portion 11, thereby providing support and positioning for the rolling members 3 near the end of the rotating shaft 1, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the structure.
[0048] More specifically, in other embodiments, the rotating shaft 1 is provided with a stepped portion 11, and the inner ring 2 near the end of the rotating shaft 1 abuts against the stepped portion 11, thereby providing support and positioning for the inner ring 2 near the end of the rotating shaft 1, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the structure.
[0049] Specifically, the inner ring 2 is in interference fit with the rotating shaft 1, thereby enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the planetary transmission mechanism.
[0050] More specifically, the end faces of adjacent inner rings 2 abut against each other, thereby improving the operation safety of the planetary transmission mechanism, and reducing the risk of failure of adjacent inner rings 2 due to looseness or excessive clearance.
[0051] The embodiment also provides a gear box, which comprises a box body and the above planetary transmission mechanism, and the planetary transmission mechanism is arranged in the box body, thereby improving the service life of the gear box and reducing the use cost.
[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly illustrating the utility model, and are not a limitation on the embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary skilled in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and replacements can be made without departing from the protection scope of the utility model. Here, it is unnecessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claim.
