Abstract

Conventional planetary transmission systems exhibit an inherent trade-off between speed and torque. The present transmission embodiments overcome this limitation by achieving a 1 : 2 speed increase while preserving torque transfer efficiency of 1 : 1. Key Features : Kinematic Symmetry. Identical sun and planet gear diameters produce a predictable 1 : 2 speed ratio, based on the classical sun-planet mechanism patented by James Watt in 1781. This principle is re-engineered in the present embodiments for enhanced compactness, mechanical robustness and torque retention. Torque Retention. The planetary gear is constrained from rotating about its own axis but remains free to orbit the sun gear. This orbital motion converts tangential force from the driven planetary gear carrier into output torque. This conversion exploits the entire center-to-center distance between the sun gear and the rotationally constrained planetary gear as an effective lever arm, enabling torque retention at 1 : 1 ratio relative to input torque.

Description

[0001]TITLE of the INVENTION TRANSMISSION DEVICE, TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND MULTIPLIER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TECHNICAL FIELD of the INVENTION The present invention relates to mechanical power transmission systems having gears or chain & sprockets mechanisms. The type of mechanical power transmission system presented here can be utilized in any power train application. BACKGROUND of the INVENTION James Watt & The Steam Engine. The Steam Engine, as developed by Frenchman Denis Papin (1647- 1712), Englishmen James Savery (1650-1715), Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729) and Scotsman James Watt (1736-1819), was to pump water out of flooded coal mines, (SEE FIG. 1(A) & 1(B). Main structure is 1. water pump 6 is pivotally connected to main beam 4 via connecting rod bar 5. The fire side consist of broiler 2 and cylinder chamber 3 which houses the piston and connecting rod which is also pivotally connected to main beam 4). The pinnacle of steam engine design was the addition of a separate condenser and a double acting cylinder, patented by Instrument Mechanic James Watt in 1869 & 1782 respectively. In the late 18th century, the Industrial Revolution was in full acceleration with corn, malt and cotton mills, iron-rolling mills, blast furnaces, forges and a dozen other burgeoning new industries. These new industries needed a new kind of power to supplement the old rotating waterwheel. Mills of all kind used these water wheels and also horses to turn “wheel work”, but while these sources of power were adequate for small operations, the quantity of water available were often limited, and the use of enormous herds of horses was frequently impractical. A steam engine with a rotative capacity was needed, not merely one which would pump mines dry with the reciprocal - vertical motion of its horizonal rocking beam. This reciprocal / vertical motion of the horizontal rocking beam was easily converted to rotary motion by means of a crank mechanism which was incorporated into a Newcomen Steam engine and patented by Englishman James Pickard in 1780, (SEE FIGS. 2A & 2B. Main beam 4 is pivotally mounted on main structure 1, 7 is the crank lever, rigidly connected to the flywheel 9a via a crank shaft 8. Connecting rod 5 is pivotally connected to main beam 4 and crank lever 7 via its respective end portions. So, to circumvent the crank mechanism patent, Watt assigned William Murdock, Chief Mechanic at Bolton & Watt Steam Engine Ltd., to devised alternatives for the conversion of the reciprocal vertical motion of the rocking beam to rotary motion. William Murdock devised 5 alternatives and these 5 alternatives were patented by James Watt. British Patent No.1306, October 25, 1781. Of the five alternatives, the one that was adopted was a peculiar arrangement of two gears that are similar in diameter and number of teeth in a sun - planet configuration, (SEE FIGS.3A, 3B, & 3C. Main beam 4 is pivotally mounted on main structure 1, fire side consist of broiler 2 and cylinder chamber 3 which houses the piston and connecting rod 5 which is pivotally connected to the main beam 4. Rotative side consist of sun gear 11 rigidly attached to output shaft 12 which is rigidly attached to flywheel 9b. Planet gear 10 is rigidly attached to end portion of connecting rod 5, and is pivotally attached to main beam 4 at opposite end portion which was where the water pump was previously positioned. Sun gear 11 and planet gear 10 are kept in mesh by tie bar 13a. In the Watt patented design, the planet gear 10 being rigidly attached to the end portion of connecting rod 5 does not rotate on its own axis (rigidly attached). Its axle is tied to the axle of the sun gear 11 by a tie bar 13a that rotate around the axles of both the planet and sun gears preserving a constant distance between their centers keeping them meshed, SEE FIGS.3A, 3B & 3C. Hence, the rigidly attached planet gear 10 orbits around the sun gear 11. The first phenomenon of this design is that for every one orbit of the rigidly attached planet gear 10 around the sun gear 11, there are two rotations of the sun gear on its axis. The following sequential views FIGS.4A-4H illustrate this operational principle. Initial Position FIG. 4A: • Planet gear 10 is meshed with sun gear at position ^^^^=0oTDC 16 (top dead center). • Reference mark (A) on planet gear. • Reference mark (1) on sun gear. 1stQuarter Orbit FIG. 4B: • Rigidly attached planet gear 10 orbits 900in a clockwise (CW)direction and rotates the sun gear 11 in a CW direction. • Sun gear reference mark (1) now at ^^^^=18002ndQuarter (Half) Orbit FIG. 4C: • Rigidly attached planet gear 10 reaches 1800of CW orbital travel, BTC 18(bottom dead center). • Sun gear 11 has been rotated another 1800for a total of 3600 and its reference mark (1) is now back at ^^^^ = 00, TDC3rdQuarter Orbit FIG.4D: • Rigidly attached planet gear 10 reaches 2700of CW orbital travel. •Sun gear 11 has been rotated another 1800 for a total of ^^^^ =5400and its reference mark (1) is now back at BDC 18. 4thQuarter (Full) Orbit FIG.4E: • Rigidly attached planet gear 10 reaches 3600of CW orbital travel. •Sun gear 11 has been rotated another 1800 for a total of ^^^^ =7200and reference mark (1) is now back at TDC 16. • A speed transfer ratio of 1:2. Connected to the sun gear via an output shaft 12 is a flywheel 9b to provide smooth rotative power to the factory floor. The flywheel 9b reduces the jerky motion which is the nature of the reciprocal vertical motion of the beam 4. This leads to the second phenomenon in that a flywheel 9b turning through two revolutions during a single cycle of operation needs to be only one-fourth the seize compared to a flywheel 9a of the crank mechanism, SEE FIGS.2A, 2B, 3A ,3B & 3C. As impressive as it was, with its 1:2 speed ratio and only requiring a flywheel 9b one fourth the seize that what is required for a crank mechanism 9a, the overarching objective was to obtain rotative power as efficiently as possible. So, inevitable the sun-planet mechanism 10, 11, 12 & 13a was abandoned and the crank mechanism 7, 8 & 5 being much simpler in terms of operation and manufacturing was adopted when its patent expired in 1794. This adaption was for the remainder of the Boulton-Watt steam engine production life cycle. In addition to be more complicated in terms of operation and manufacturing, there are several design deficiencies of the Watt patented sun-planet mechanism that contributed to its abandonment. Firstly, the power being delivered was a vertical reciprocal force via the rocking beam 4. This vertical reciprocal force must be constantly cohered in an orbital motion via the tie bar 13a. The planet gear 10 tendency is to travel in a straight line, so therefore, any opportunity it has, such as the wearing down of the tie bar bushings, 13b & 13c, SEE FIGS. 3C, will result in the tangential contact 20 point between the planet gear 10 and sun gear 11 to be less optimal causing a deficiency of force transfer, SEE FIG. 4G. A similar situation occurs because of the absent of a fulcrum structure 21 at the front of the tie bar planet gear pin 13b, SEE FIG. 4F & FIG. 4G. Secondly, with the absence of a fulcrum structure at position 22 at the front of the output shaft 12, SEE FIG. 4F, force delivered by beam causes distortion in the rotation of the sun gear 11, further contributing to the tangential contact point 20 deficiencies, SEE FIG. 4G. Thirdly, there are two instances where there is loss of force transfer between the planet gear 10 and sun gear 11. They occur at TDC and BDC. Here, in both contact points, only a vertical force 23 is experienced, SEE FIG. 4H (only TDC 16 is shown), and the inertia of the flywheel 9b is necessary to nudge the sun gear 11 in the direction of rotation in order for it to be again experiencing tangential contact 20 with the planet gear 10, SEE FIG. 4G. As can be ascertained, a flywheel 9b is critical for the operation of the Watt patented sun-planet mechanism, FIG. 3A. This also applies the James Pickard’s Newcomen steam engine crank mechanism, FIG. 2A, 9a. The deficiencies detailed above have been thoroughly considered in the development of the present embodiments of the invention. These deficiencies will be rectified by innovative features and these innovations will be successfully integrated into the embodiments of the invention. The embodiments of the invention will be based on: • The rotationally constrained planetary gear of the Watt patented sun-planet kinematic arrangement, FIG. 4A. • Chain-sprocket mechanism, aka Endless Power-Transmitting Chain Drive (EPTCD)68-1, SEE FIG. 9 (a). • A modified versions of the EPTCD 68-1 that integrate a planetary gear carrier 96 into the driven sprocket 67b will also be incorporated. These modified versions will be referred to as Endless Power-Transmitting Planetary Gear Drives (EPTPGD) 68-2, SEE FIGS. 9 (b), (c) & (d). SUMMARY of the INVENTION The convergence of: • The rotationally constrained planetary gear of the Watt patented sun-planet kinematic arrangement, FIG. 4A, • Endless Power-Transmitting Chains Drives (EPTCD), FIG.9 (a), and • Endless Power-Transmitting Planetary Gear Drive (EPTPGD), FIG. 9 (b), (c) & (d), will fuse in a manner to create the embodiment of a mechanical power transmission design that is engineered to simultaneously attain a speed transfer ratio of 1:2 and an efficient torque transfer ratio of 1:1.

Between said bearings 78-1, 78-2, and 3rd structure (71) and bearings 78-3 & 78-4 and 6th structure (74), each output shaft 86-1, 86-2, 86-3 & 86-4 are housed in a planetary gear carrier hub, 92-1, 922, 92-3 & 92-4, that are securely bolted to their respective supporting structure 3rd (71) & 6th (74), SEE FIGS.19,20 & 21. All other parts are hidden for illustrative clarity. Unique to our design is the integration of sun gears 93, on all 4 secondary output shaft 93-1, 93-2, 93-3 & 93-4. Said sun gears are rigidly attached on their respective output shaft between each shaft’s front bearing 78-1, 78-2, 78-3, 78-4 and planet gear carrier hub 92-1,92-2,92-3 & 92-4, SEE FIG. 22 & FIG. 23. The sun gears 93-1, 93-2, 93-3 & 93-4 are meshed with planetary gears 94 of matching size and tooth configuration, SEE FIG. 24 & FIG. 25. Each set of coaxial planetary gears 94-1 & 94-3 and its parallel counterpart 92-2 & 92-4, are rigidly attached to the end portions of a shared connecting bar pin 95-1 & 95-2, SEE FIGS. 26 & 27. In addition, these pins 95-1 & 95-2 are rigidly attached at right-angle, intersecting the end portions of the connecting bar 97, SEE FIGS. 27, 28 & 29. Mounted at the end portions of each connecting bar pin 95-1 & 95-2, in front of and behind the planetary gear, are bearings 79-1, 79-2, 79-3, 79-4 & 80-1, 80- 2, 80-3, 80-4 that support the connecting bar 97 pivoting motion and function as fulcrum points, SEE FIGS. 12(C), FIGS. 30 & 31. All other parts are hidden for illustrative clarity. These sun gears 93-1, 93-293-3, 93-4 and planetary gears 94-1, 94-2, 94-3, 94-4 with their respective bearings 79-1, 79-2, 79- 3, 79-4 / 80-1,80-2, 80-3, 80-4, output shaft bearings 78-1, 78- 2, 78-3 & 78-4 are housed in planetary gear carriers 96-1, 96-2, 96-3 & 96-4, SEE FIG. 9 (c) & (d), FIGS. 32 & 33. These planetary gear carriers are mounted on their respective planet gear carrier hubs, 92-1, 92-2, 92-3, 92-4, and said planetary gear carriers are supported for rotation and as fulcrum points by rear 2nd bearings 82-1, 82-2, 82-3 & 82-4, which are mounted on face of the planet gear carrier hubs, and also front 1st bearings 81-1, 81-2, 81-3 & 81-4 mounted on the face of its respective planetary gear carrier 96, SEE FIG. 12(B), FIGS. 34 & 35, and are disposed in their respective support 4th (72) structure & 5th (73) structure, SEE FIG. 36. The 4th (72) structure is hidden for illustrative clarity. Force is transferred to each planetary gear carrier 96-1, 96-2, 96-3 & 96-4 via their respective driven sprockets 67b of the Endless Power-Transmitting Planetary Gear Drive 682 / 1, 68-2 / 2, 68-2 / 3 & 68-2 / 4 that are securely bolted to their respective planetary gear carriers 96, SEE FIG. 37, Detail A, and these driven sprockets are of similar diameter and tooth count of the driver sprockets on the secondary input shafts 84-1 & 84-2, located in the Input Power Transmitting Transfer Chambers 88, SEE FIGS. 15(A), 16(A), 16(B) & 16(C). The connecting bar pins 95-1 & 95-2, being pivotally attached to each of its respective planetary gear carrier 96, serve to pivotally join each planetary gear carrier 96 to its directly opposite counterpart, 96-1 with 96-3, and 96-2 with 96-4. And with connecting bar 97 being such a length, it enables the two sets of planetary gear carriers to rotate synchronously and in alignment with each other. The planetary gear carriers 96-1, 96-2, 96-3, and 96-4, together with the first bearings 81 disposed within their respective fourth (72) and fifth (73) support structures, and the second planetary gear carrier bearings 82 mounted on their respective planetary gear carrier hubs 92—which are themselves securely bolted onto the third (71) and sixth (74) support structures— along with the bearings 79 and 80 on the connecting bar pins, and the secondary output shaft planetary gear carrier bearings 78, collectively serve as critical fulcrum points in the conversion of power. The remaining transmission components are now assembled to complete the first embodiment of the invention as illustrated in FIGS. 38–42. SPEED CONVERSION: See FIG.43, Detail A. Referring also to the aforementioned second-to-last paragraph, as the planetary gear carriers 96-1 through 96-4 rotate synchronously and in alignment, their respective planetary gears 94-1 through 94-4, each rigidly attached to connecting bar pins 95-1 and 95-2, which are in turn rigidly attached to connecting bar 97, are constrained from rotating about their own axes. This constraint is imposed by the connecting bar 97 configuration, which guides the planetary gear along an orbital path while preventing axial rotation. Despite their rotational constraint, the pivoting motion of the connecting bar pins enables the rotationally constrained planetary gears to orbit their respective sun gears 93-1 through 93-4, with which they remain in continuous meshed engagement. As the planetary gears follow the circular paths defined by their rotating carriers, every single orbital revolution translate to two axial revolutions of the sun gear and output shaft assembly. This kinematic principle parallels the James Watt sun-planet mechanism disclosed in British Patent No.1306, October 25, 1781. Sequential views in FIGS. 14(A)–(H) illustrate the operation of this classical established system, wherein one full orbit of a rotationally constrained planetary gear produces two complete revolutions of the sun gear. While employing this classical established principle, the present embodiments achieve enhanced compactness and force transfer efficiency through the incorporation of Endless Power- Transmitting Chain Drives, Endless Power-Transmitting Planetary Gear Drives, and strategically positioned fulcrum points. TORQUE CONVERSION: SEE FIG.44. As the planetary gear carriers 96-1 through 96-4 rotate synchronously and in alignment, their respective planetary gears 94-1 through 94-4, each rigidly attached to connecting bar pins 95-1 and 95-2, which are in turn rigidly attached to the connecting bar 97, are constrained from rotating about their own axes. This constraint is imposed by the connecting bar 97 configuration, which guides the planetary gear along an orbital path while preventing axial rotation. Despite their rotational constraint, the pivoting motion of the connecting bar pins enables the planetary gears to orbit their respective sun gears 93-1 through 93-4, with which they remain in continuous meshed engagement. As the rotationally-constrained planetary gears follow the circular paths defined by their rotating carriers, the rigid attachment of the sun gears to the output shaft translates this orbital motion into axial motion. This meshed engagement allows the entire center-to-center (c-t- c) distance between each sun gear and its respective rotationally constrained planetary gear to act as an effective lever arm for force conversion back to torque, SEE FIG.48. A. An external power source delivers 100 Nm of torque to the input shaft / driver sprocket which rotates clockwise. B. This 100 Nm of torque is converted to 666 N of tangential force (100 Nm / .15m) at the periphery of the 300mm driver sprocket (radius= 150mm). C. Given a planetary gear carrier radius of 150mm and a sun gear - planetary gear c-t-c distance of 50mm, the resulting Mechanical Advantage = 3 (150mm / 50mm). D. During clockwise rotation, chain tension and thus force transfer occurs on the left side of the driver / driven mechanism, applying the calculated 666 N of force. E. With a MA of 3, the force experience by the rotationally constrained planetary gear is 2000 N (666 N x 3). F. With the entire c-t-c 50mm distance (.05m) between the sun gear / secondary output shaft assembly and rotationally constrained planetary gear, acting as an effective lever arm, torque output at the sun gear / output shaft assembly is 100 Nm (2000 N x .05m). Due to the rotationally-constraint and orbital motion of the planetary gears, this force is continuously exerted on the sun gear / output shaft assembly across a full 360orotation, delivering a consistent 100 Nm of output torque, regardless of chain engagement phase. In the first embodiment, having more than one planetary gear results in the load being shared among the multiple planetary gears. This design results in increased load handling capacity, improved torque density, and enhanced mechanical robustness. As a result, the system achieves a 1:2 speed transfer ratio and a 1:1 torque transfer ratio simultaneously - a key functional outcome of the described geometry and kinematic constraint. Second embodiment of the invention, ARC-EPTPGDT II, 68-2 / T [B]. SEE FIG. 49. In this second embodiment of the invention, there are only three internal structures, 1st (118), 2nd (119) & 3rd (120).

Also, planetary gear 94-3, is rigidly attached to the end portion of its respective connecting bar pin 95-1, and for orbital assistance, bearings 79-1,79- 3 & 80-3. Bearing 82-3 is support for rotation and function as a fulcrum point for the planetary gear carrier 96-3. The sun gear 93-3 and planetary gear 94-3 are housed in planetary gear carrier 96-3 and securely bolted to it is the driven sprocket of 68-2, SEE FIG. 56. FIG. 57 depicts the connecting bar 97 with both its rigidly attached at right-angle intersecting pins 95-1 & 95-2 at its opposite end portions. Orbital motion bearings 79-2 & 79-4 are attached to pin 95-2. It should be noted that all the connecting bar pins 95-1 & 95-2 in all embodiments are rigidly attached at right- angle intersecting the end portions of the connecting bar 97. To support the connecting bar 97 at its RIGHT-FRONT connecting bar pin (95) in its orbital travel around the sun gear, there are planetary gear carrier followers 121-1,121-2 & 121-3 attached to each of the other RIGHT-REAR, LEFT-REAR & LEFT-FRONT pins, SEE FIG. 58. Each planetary gear carrier follower 121- 1,121-2 & 121-3 is supported by their respective planetary gear carrier follower hub 122-1, 122-2 & 122-3 and each hub has their respective bearings 82 & 78 mounted at its center for support for rotation and function as a fulcrum point for the planetary gear carrier followers 121-1, 122-2 & 122-3, SEE FIG. 59 Detail A & B plus FIG. 60. Each planetary gear carrier follower hub 122-1, 122-2 & 122-3 is securely bolted to its respective 1st (118) or 3rd (120) structures, SEE FIG. 60. To assist the connecting bar 97 in its reciprocal orbital travel around the sun gear 93-3, power is provided from the input shaft 83 via 5 Endless Power-Transmitting Chain Drives, 68-1 / 1, 68- 1 / 2,68-1 / 3,68-1 / 4 & 68-1 / 5 that are connected to their respective planetary gear carrier followers, SEE FIG. 61 & FIG. 62. Also depicted is planetary gear carrier, 2nd structure, and bearing 81. For final assembly SEE FIGS. 50 & FIG. 49. Third embodiment of the invention, ARC-EPTPGDT III, 68-2 / T [C]. The third embodiment of the invention is basically gear driven instead of chain driven. And since it is required that the rotation of the drive and driven gear are in the same direction, a center idler gear is required. This third embodiment is suitable for application where weigh and space are not of paramount importance, but speed is, e.g., turbines for propulsion. It should be noted that, the description in the above embodiments of the present disclosure is only for illustration, and the number of input shafts, output shafts and follower shaft may be changed without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. If the number of input shafts and / or output shafts and / or follower shaft is increased or decreased, the number of internal structures, driven sprockets, driver sprockets, chains, planetary gears, sun gears, planetary gear carriers, planetary gear carrier hubs, connecting bar, connecting bar pins and various bearings may be correspondingly increased or decreased. The embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to describe the present disclosure by way of example so that those skilled in the art can easily understand. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the description of the embodiments, but only by the claims. According to the technical scheme protected in the claims, the speed transfer ratio of 1:2 and the torque transfer ratio of 1:1 is achieved, which is a great progress compared with the existing technology. In addition, since the sun gear, planetary gear, planetary gear carrier, input shafts, output shafts and follower shaft are all supported by supporting structures and various bearings, the tends of wear and deformation of these parts can be avoided, and better torque transmission than the traditional device is achieved.
