[0024] This utility model discloses a gearbox transmission system that can be applied to aircraft engines. Power is transmitted from the engine crankshaft to the shock absorber signal wheel, and then the shock absorber output shaft drives the drive gear to rotate. After two stages of reduction, the torque is finally transmitted to the propeller by the output shaft.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the gearbox transmission system of this utility model can be used in the power systems of helicopters, drones or various types of aircraft.
[0026] A gearbox transmission system according to an embodiment of this application includes: a shock absorber signal wheel 11, the center of which is connected to an engine crankshaft 7 for receiving engine power; a shock absorber output shaft 12; an elastic element 10 disposed between the shock absorber signal wheel 11 and the shock absorber output shaft 12 for damping the power from the engine while transmitting torque; a transmission gear system; and an output shaft 26 connected to the output end of the transmission gear system, the output shaft 26 being used to connect to a propeller 21, and the transmission gear system being used to transmit power from the shock absorber output shaft 12 to the output shaft 26.
[0027] According to the gearbox transmission system of the present application embodiment, an elastic element 10 is added between the shock absorber signal wheel 11 and the shock absorber output shaft 12 to avoid rigid connection between the signal wheel 11 and the output shaft 12. The elastic element 10 plays a good overload protection role and dampens the power transmitted from the engine to achieve a uniform torque transmission effect.
[0028] Understandably, the engine crankshaft 7, as the core component of the engine, is responsible for converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotational motion. The shock absorber signal wheel 11, connected to the engine crankshaft 7, can directly and promptly receive the power generated by the engine.
[0029] An elastic element 10 is provided between the shock absorber signal wheel 11 and the shock absorber output shaft 12. In some possible embodiments, the elastic element 10 can be a spring. The elastic element 10 can absorb and buffer the power vibration from the engine through its own elastic deformation while transmitting torque. For example, when the vibration causes the shock absorber signal wheel 11 to produce a small vertical or horizontal displacement, the elastic element 10 will correspondingly undergo compression or stretching deformation, converting the vibration energy into elastic potential energy and storing it. Then, it will be released when the vibration weakens or disappears, thereby effectively reducing the impact of vibration on the shock absorber output shaft 12 and protecting the subsequent transmission components from vibration damage.
[0030] The shock absorber output shaft 12 is the power output component of the shock absorber section. It transmits the power, after being damped by the spring 10, to the subsequent transmission components.
[0031] The output shaft 26 is the final power output component of the entire gearbox transmission system, and it is firmly connected to the output end of the transmission gear train. The other end of the output shaft 26 is used to connect to the propeller 21, accurately transmitting the power, after reduction and damping, to the propeller 21. The propeller 21 is a device that converts engine power into propulsion, commonly found in vehicles such as ships and airplanes. When the output shaft 26 drives the propeller 21 to rotate, the blades of the propeller 21 generate thrust in the fluid (such as water or air), thereby propelling the vehicle forward.
[0032] In one embodiment, the center of the shock absorber signal wheel 11 is the power input end of the gearbox. It drives the drive gear 15 to rotate through the shock absorber output shaft 12. The drive gear 15 and the intermediate gear 17 mesh with each other to transmit torque. The center hole of the intermediate gear 17 and the right shaft of the double gear 4 are in an interference fit with internal and external splines, which ensures the coaxiality of the center and can withstand a large torque. The double gear 4 and the output gear 27 mesh with each other to transmit torque. The center hole of the output gear 27 and the left shaft of the output shaft 26 are in an interference fit. The right side of the output shaft 26 is connected to the propeller hub of the propeller 21 by bolts. At the same time, a locating pin is added to ensure accurate positioning between the output shaft 26 and the propeller 21 and reduce the unbalanced force of the propeller.
[0033] The left side of the gearbox inner housing 1 is bolted to the engine casing 6, and a locating pin is added to ensure accurate positioning between the inner housing 1 and the casing 6. To prevent lubricating oil leakage, a gasket is added between the gearbox inner housing 1 and the engine casing 6.
[0034] The right side of the inner housing 1 of the gearbox is connected to the outer housing 20 of the gearbox by bolts, and a locating pin is added to ensure accurate positioning between the inner housing 1 and the outer housing 20.
[0035] The shock absorber signal wheel 11 transmits torque to the engine crankshaft 7 via a flat square and is precisely positioned via a conical surface to ensure coaxiality of the center and reduce unbalanced forces. The shock absorber signal wheel 11 is fixed to the engine crankshaft 7 by locking bolts 8. To prevent loosening and increase friction, shims 9 are added between the locking bolts 8 and the crankshaft 7.
[0036] The shock absorber signal wheel 11 is equipped with signal teeth, which are used to measure engine speed.
[0037] An elastic element 10 is added between the shock absorber signal wheel 11 and the shock absorber output shaft 12 to avoid a rigid connection between the signal wheel 11 and the output shaft 12. The elastic element 10 plays a good role in overload protection and damping the power transmitted from the engine to achieve a uniform torque transmission effect.
[0038] The output shaft 12 of the shock absorber transmits torque to the drive gear 15 via internal and external splines.
[0039] The shaft of the drive gear 15 is fixed to the inner housing 1 of the gearbox via the second deep groove ball bearing 14, and the shaft of the drive gear 15 is fixed to the outer housing 20 of the gearbox via the first deep groove ball bearing 13. The shaft of the drive gear 15 is axially limited by the left and right shaft shoulders.
[0040] The left side of the shaft of the double gear 4 is fixed to the inner housing 1 of the gearbox via the first roller bearing 5, and the right side is fixed to the outer housing 20 of the gearbox via the third deep groove ball bearing 19. The right side of the third deep groove ball bearing 19 contacts the shoulder of the bearing seat hole, and the left side is axially limited by the baffle 16, which is fixed to the outer housing 20 of the gearbox by bolts. At the same time, a plug 18 is added to the right side of the shaft of the double gear 4, which mainly serves to limit the axial movement.
[0041] The output shaft 26 is fixed to the inner housing 1 of the gearbox on the left side by the second roller bearing 28, and a plug 2 is added. The plug 2 mainly serves as an axial limiter. The output shaft 26 is fixed to the outer housing 20 of the gearbox on the right side by the fourth deep groove ball bearing 23. The right side of the fourth deep groove ball bearing 23 contacts the shoulder of the bearing seat hole. The output shaft 26 is axially limited by the baffle 24, which is fixed to the outer housing 20 of the gearbox by bolts. At the same time, a stop nut 25 is added to the left side of the fourth deep groove ball bearing 23. The stop nut 25 mainly serves as an axial limiter.
[0042] An oil seal 22 is installed between the right side of the output shaft 26 and the gearbox housing 20 to ensure that the internal oil of the gearbox transmission system does not leak.
[0043] A fifth deep groove ball bearing 3 was added to the inner housing 1 of the gearbox, which serves to support the engine start wheel.
[0044] The drive gear 15, intermediate gear 17, double gear 4, and output gear 27 all have circular arc cylindrical teeth, which ensure smooth transmission and low noise, making them suitable for applications with large transmission ratios.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
