Description

A high-power planetary hydraulic transmission transmission mechanism Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a high-power planetary hydraulic transmission transmission mechanism, belonging to the technical field of vehicle transmission. Background Art

[0002] The planetary transmission mechanism is primarily composed of clutches, brakes, and planetary gear elements. The engagement and disengagement of different brakes or clutches allows for the coupling, decoupling, and braking of different planetary gear elements, thereby satisfying different power transmission paths and achieving outputs with varying speed ratios.

[0003] Currently, high-power planetary transmissions used in mining and construction machinery primarily utilize three or four planetary rows in parallel, resulting in a limited number of speed ratios and a narrow ratio range. With increasing international energy tensions and the deepening implementation of green development concepts, the demand for efficient and energy-efficient planetary transmissions continues to rise. The number of gears and speed ratio ranges in existing transmissions cannot maximize engine operation under economical conditions, hindering overall machine economics. Furthermore, the narrow speed ratio range places greater loads on the torque converter and transmission mechanism under the same load, making reliability difficult to guarantee.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present application. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] This embodiment discloses a high-power planetary hydraulic transmission mechanism, as shown in FIG1 , comprising an input shaft In, an output shaft Out, two clutches ( C1 , C2 ), five planetary gears ( P1 - P5 ) and five brakes ( B1 - B5 ).

[0031] Each planetary gear row includes: sun gears (S1~S5), planet carriers (PC1~PC5), planetary gears (CA1~CA5) and ring gears (R1~R5); the ring gear is coaxial with the sun gear, and the planetary gears are mounted on the planet carrier through planet shafts and bearings, and each planetary gear is internally meshed with the ring gear on the same planetary gear row and externally meshed with the sun gear on the same planetary gear row.

[0032] The five planetary gears are arranged in parallel from left to right, and the five sun gears, the input shaft In and the output shaft Out are arranged coaxially.

[0033] The input shaft In is fixedly connected to the inner hub of the first clutch C1 , the outer hub of the second clutch C2 , and the first sun gear S1 , respectively.

[0034] The outer hub body of the first clutch C1 is fixedly connected to the second sun gear S2 and the third sun gear S3 respectively.

[0035] The inner hub of the second clutch C2 is fixedly connected to the second planet carrier PC2.

[0036] The first planet carrier PC1 is fixedly connected to the second ring gear R2.

[0037] The second planet carrier PC2 is fixedly connected to the third ring gear R3.

[0038] The third ring gear R3 is fixedly connected to the fourth planet carrier PC4.

[0039] The fourth ring gear R4 is fixedly connected to the fifth sun gear S5.

[0040] The output shaft Out is fixedly connected to the third planet carrier PC3, the fourth sun gear S4, and the fifth ring gear R5 respectively.

[0041] Furthermore, the first brake B1 is used to brake the first ring gear R1 of the first planetary row P1, the second brake B2 is used to brake the second ring gear R2 of the second planetary row P2, the third brake B3 is used to brake the third ring gear R3 of the third planetary row P3, the fourth brake B4 is used to brake the fourth ring gear R4 of the fourth planetary row P4, and the fifth brake B5 is used to brake the fifth planet carrier PC5 of the fifth planetary row P5.

[0042] The transmission drive rod mechanism has five planetary gears, five brakes, and two clutches, which can achieve eight forward gears and two reverse gears.

[0043] The first clutch C1 and the second clutch C2, the first brake B1, the second brake B2, the third brake B3, the fourth brake B4, and the fifth brake B5 are all multi-plate friction control structures, using hydraulic oil to push the piston for braking. The control logic and speed ratio of each gear are shown in Table 1:

[0044] Table 1. Control logic and speed ratio of each gear (O indicates the control element is engaged)

[0045] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to FIG1 and Table 1. The transmission ratio refers to the ratio of the input shaft speed to the output shaft speed.

[0046] When the operating members of the first clutch C1 and the fifth brake B5 are engaged simultaneously, the fifth planet carrier PC5 of the fifth planetary gear P5 is fixed, and the first forward gear is achieved.

[0047] When the operating members of the first clutch C1 and the third brake B3 are engaged simultaneously, the third ring gear R3 of the third planetary gear set P3 is fixed, thereby realizing the second forward gear.

[0048] When the operating members of the first clutch C1 and the fourth brake B4 are engaged simultaneously, the fourth ring gear R4 of the fourth planetary gear P4 is fixed, realizing the third forward gear.

[0049] When the operating members of the first clutch C1 and the second brake B2 are engaged simultaneously, the second ring gear R2 of the second planetary gear P2 is fixed, realizing the fourth forward gear.

[0050] When the operating elements of the first clutch C1 and the first brake B1 are engaged simultaneously, the first ring gear R1 of the first planetary gear set P1 is fixed, thereby realizing the fifth forward gear.

[0051] When the operating members of the first clutch C1 and the second clutch C2 are engaged simultaneously, the sixth forward gear can be achieved.

[0052] When the operating members of the second clutch C2 and the first brake B1 are engaged simultaneously, the first ring gear R1 of the first planetary row P1 is fixed, realizing the seventh forward gear.

[0053] When the operating members of the second clutch C2 and the second brake B2 are engaged simultaneously, the second ring gear R2 of the second planetary row P2 is fixed, realizing the eighth forward gear.

[0054] When the operating members of the first brake B1 and the third brake B3 are engaged simultaneously, the first ring gear R1 of the first planetary gear set P1 and the third ring gear R3 of the third planetary gear set P3 are fixed, respectively, to achieve one reverse gear.

[0055] When the operating members of the first brake B1 and the fourth brake B4 are engaged simultaneously, the first ring gear R1 of the first planetary gear set P1 and the fourth ring gear R4 of the fourth planetary gear set P4 are fixed, respectively, to achieve the second reverse gear.

[0056] The transmission ratios of each gear are determined by the K values ​​of the five planetary gears. This refers to the ratio of the number of teeth on the ring gear to the number of teeth on the sun gear. For example, when K1 = 1.7, K2 = 2.29, K3 = 3.7, and K4 = K5 = 1.65, the transmission ratios shown in Table 1 are obtained. This achieves a transmission mechanism with eight forward speeds and two reverse speeds. A first-gear ratio greater than 7 reduces the load on the torque converter during low-speed, heavy-load conditions in construction machinery, improving its reliability. Furthermore, the high speed ratio allows the engine to operate more efficiently, improving overall machine efficiency. As shown in Table 1, shifting between adjacent gears, whether forward or reverse, requires only one operating element, ensuring uninterrupted power, reducing frictional work and heat loss on the friction plates, and improving their reliability.

[0057] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
