[0025] One end of the gear shaft 5 is provided with a support shaft 6 which plays a supporting and guiding role, the output end of the input shaft 12 is provided with a support groove which is used for coaxial rotatable connection with the support shaft 6, that is, one end of the support shaft 6 connected with the input shaft 12 is located in the support groove, and a needle bearing 10 is arranged between the support shaft 6 and the input shaft 12, so as to reduce the friction coefficient of the support shaft 6 and the input shaft 12, when the gear shaft 5 rotates synchronously with the input shaft 12, the accurate position and axial direction can be maintained, and stable rotation can be realized.
[0026] The pressure boosting port arranged on the shell 1 and connected with the annular cavity is controlled by a switch valve, the opening control is used for controlling high-pressure gas or liquid to enter the annular cavity, the pressure in the annular cavity becomes large, the piston 3 is controlled to move towards the gear shaft 5 until the teeth on the piston 3 are meshed with the teeth on the gear shaft, and the closing control is used for controlling the high-pressure gas or liquid to stop entering the annular cavity, at this time, the gas or liquid in the annular cavity is not affected by external pressure, under the action of the reset structure, the piston 3 is disconnected from the gear shaft 5 and returns to the initial position, and the gas or liquid is discharged to the outside.
[0027] In the embodiment, the reset mechanism comprises an elastic check ring 7, a rigid washer 8 and a return spring 9, mainly relies on the elastic force of the return spring 9 to push the piston 3 to move away from the gear shaft 5, and the elastic check ring 7 and the rigid washer 8 limit the return spring 9, specifically, the return spring 9 is sleeved on the outside of the input shaft 12, one end of the return spring 9 abuts against the stepped surface in the inside of the piston 3, the other end is connected with the rigid washer 8, the elastic check ring 7 is fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the input shaft 12 close to the gear shaft 5 and abuts against the rigid washer 8 to be clamped, thereby realizing the axial limitation of the return spring 9 and preventing the return spring 9 from moving excessively in the axial direction.
[0028] Specific working principle:
[0029] When the power needs to be transmitted and output by the power extractor, the power is first obtained from the transmission by the input shaft 12, since the piston 3 is connected with the input shaft 12 by the spline, the piston 3 rotates synchronously with the input shaft 12, at this time, the high-pressure gas or liquid is controlled to enter the annular cavity by the switch valve, since the one end of the piston 3 close to the gear shaft 5 has a large force area, under the pressure, the piston 3 moves to the gear shaft 5 and compresses the return spring 9, until the teeth on the gear shaft 5 mesh with the teeth on the piston 3, the gear shaft 5 rotates synchronously with the piston 3, since the gear shaft 5 is connected with the output shaft 11 by the gear transmission, at this time, the output shaft 11 also rotates to output power.
[0030] When the power needs to be interrupted in the power extractor, the switch valve is controlled to be closed, so that the gas or liquid no longer enters the annular cavity, at this time, the gas or liquid in the annular cavity has no external pressure, the piston 3 moves away from the gear shaft 5 under the elastic force of the return spring 9 until it returns to the initial position, the gas or liquid is discharged to the outside, at this time, the piston 3 is disconnected with the gear shaft 5, so the power on the input shaft 12 cannot be transmitted to the gear shaft 5, therefore, the output shaft 11 also has no power output.
[0031] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used for limiting the utility model, for the person skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and changes, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
