Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to engines. Technical background

[0002] A method for splitting engine power is known in which the task of splitting the engine power across multiple shafts is solved (Gawrilenkb, BA: The Hydraulic Drive, page 21). A disadvantage of this method is the necessity of using a dynamic fluid transmission.

[0003] DE 10 2014 003 958 A1 discloses a system for the reciprocal connection of two shafts with constant mutual tooth engagement. DE 10 2012 001 232 A1 discloses a self-centering wheel with a wheel rim and a hub, which are connected to each other by means of an endless chain. Support points for the chain are sprockets whose axes of rotation are mounted on the wheel rim and on the hub. One or more springs are integrated into sections of the chain. An objective of the invention is the distribution of engine power using a mechanical transmission. Disclosure of the invention

[0004] The stated objective is achieved by a method of splitting the power of a motor to multiple output shafts according to claim 1 or a device for splitting the power of a motor to multiple output shafts according to claim 2. In the method of splitting the motor power for transmission to multiple output shafts, universal self-centering systems are used as the output shafts. For one motor, several universal self-centering systems are used, each having an outer and a medial base shared by a bearing, and on which stars are rotatably mounted and connected by a closed chain.The geometric center of the outer foundation, the center of a circle passing through the axes of rotation of the outer foundation's stars, does not coincide with the geometric center of the medial foundation, which is the center of a circle passing through the axes of rotation of the medial foundation's stars. On the stars of one of the foundations, transfer gears are mounted, transmitting torque to a gear on the output shaft. Torque from the motor is transmitted to one of the foundations of the universal self-centering system. The split motor power is obtained at the output shafts of the universal self-centering system. Brief explanation of the characters On Fig. Figure 1 shows a device according to an embodiment for the implementation of the method according to an embodiment, in a side view. On Fig. Figure 2 shows a device for implementing the procedure in an isometric manner. On Fig. 3 The device for implementing the procedure is presented from the opposite side. On Fig. Four separate details of the device are shown. On Fig. Figure 5 shows a representation of a universal self-centering system of the device from the perspective of a spring. On Fig. Figure 6 depicts the universal self-centered system. On Fig. Figure 7 shows the universal self-centered system in an isometric manner. On Fig. Figure 8 shows the addition of the vectors of forces acting on stars of the universal self-centered system. On Fig. Figure 9 shows the representation of the vectors of forces acting in the rotating universal self-centered system. Embodiments of the invention

[0005] In a device for implementing the method, two universal self-centering systems are used, each consisting of a medial base 1 and an outer base 2, which are shared by a bearing 15. Stars 3, 4, and 5 are rotatably mounted on the medial base 1 with respect to axes 19. Stars 6, 7, and 8 are rotatably mounted on the outer base 2 with respect to axes 18. The axes of stars 7 and 8 are mounted on a spring 17. Stars 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are sequentially connected by a closed chain 16. Transfer gears 9, 10, and 11 are mounted on stars 3, 4, and 5, meshing with a gear 12 of an output shaft 13. The output shaft 13 is mounted on the medial base 1 by means of a bearing 14.

[0006] A motor 20 is connected to the outer foundations 2 of the universal self-centered systems by a shaft 21 and gears 22 and 23. The center of a circle passing through axes 18 does not coincide with the center of a circle passing through axes 19. These circle centers are geometric centers of the universal self-centered systems. Forces a, b, c act on the stars 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, which are directed onto Fig. 9 are shown. The sum of these vectors is on Fig.Figure 8 illustrates this. The resulting force of 1.0710 N is tangential to the stars and causes them to rotate and the chain 16 to move along its perimeter. The transfer gears 9, 10, and 11 rotate along with the stars 3, 4, and 5. A torque is transmitted to the output shaft 13 via the gear 12. The output shafts 13 of each of the universal self-centering systems do not affect each other. Any additional torque on an output shaft 13 only changes the speed of the chain 16 and does not affect the rotational speed of the foundations 1 and 2. The output power of the motor 20 is distributed across the output shafts 13 of each of the universal self-centering systems.

[0007] Universal self-centering systems can use discs or rollers connected to each other by cables or belts. The method of splitting motor power is applicable to any number of output shafts in universal self-centering systems. Reference symbol list 1.
