As the key equipment of ship main propulsion mechanical system, the marine gear box bears the deceleration function, power transmission and torque transmission of navigation system, and plays an important role in the development of fishery.
[0003] The existing marine gear box generally bears the maximum power of 6000kW and below, and the size of the parts in the gear box needs to be larger for the high-power gear box of 6000kW and above for oceanic krill. The structure of the existing marine gear box has some problems when applied to the high-power gear box, wherein the large gear on the output shaft in the existing gear box is integral type, the diameter reaches two meters, and the weight reaches ten tons, which greatly increases the weight of the whole gear box and also increases the cost.
