Gears 11 are disposed on the first flat key 13, the input shaft 2, and the second intermediate shaft 15. A split gear 17 is disposed on the third intermediate shafts 29.
[0022] The input shaft 2 is provided with a second flat key 1 and a first self-aligning roller bearing 6. A first oil seal 3 and a first thrust bearing 5 are provided between the second flat key 1 and the first self-aligning roller bearing 6.

[0026] The working principle of this high-density split-flow gearbox:
[0027] In operation, the main prime mover is connected to the input shaft 2 via a coupling or directly, transmitting the prime mover power to the input shaft 2. Gear 11 on the input shaft 2 meshes with gear 11 on the first intermediate shaft 12, achieving a first-stage speed reduction and increasing torque. Half of the input power is output via an external spline at one end of the right output shaft 22. Since gear 11 on the second intermediate shaft 15 meshes simultaneously with two shunt gears 17, half of the input power is transmitted to the two shunt gears 17. Each shunt gear 17 transmits one-quarter of the input power. The two shunt gears 17 are connected to the two third intermediate shafts 29 via interference fits. The internal splines of the two third intermediate shafts 29 are respectively connected to the two confluence gear shafts 19. Each confluence gear shaft 19 transmits one-quarter of the input power. The two confluence gear shafts 19 simultaneously mesh with the left output gear shaft 25, transmitting the power to the left output gear shaft 25. The left output gear shaft 25 outputs half of the input power through the external spline. The use of series thrust bearings 23 can still meet the large axial thrust even when the center distance between the left and right output shafts is small. The transmission method of splitting and recombining improves the strength and safety factor of the gears, makes the structure of the entire gearbox more compact, and can transmit greater torque.
