181 Planetary traction drive transmission US09627675 2000-07-28 US06406399B1 2002-06-18 Xiaolan Ai
A planetary traction drive transmission has a sun roller provided with two inner raceways which are presented outwardly and taper downwardly away from each other. It also has two outer rings located within a housing, with the rings surrounding the sun roller and having tapered raceways presented inwardly toward the tapered raceways of the sun roller. In addition the transmission has planet rollers which are organized in two rows, there being a separate row within each ring. The rollers have tapered side faces along which they contact the raceways of the sun roller and the rings. They are also organized in pairs, with a roller of each row forming a pair. The rollers of a pair contact each other at beveled end faces on the rollers, and thus each roller of the pair serves to back and axially position the other roller of the pair. At all lines of contact between the rollers and the raceways and between the rollers themselves pure rolling contact, characterized by the absence of spinning, exists. In one embodiment the raceways of the sun roller are locked together and relative rotation occurs between the outer rings. In another embodiment the outer rings are locked together and relative rotation occurs between the raceways of the sun roller. Each embodiment provides high speed and torque ratios in a very compact package.

The gear consists of a housing (12) to which a drive motor (10) is flanged. Its shaft (1) carries a sun wheel (2) on which multiple planets (3) roll off. The planets (3) are positioned on a planetary carrier (6) which is rigidly connected to the output shaft (9). The shaft (9) is supported in the housing (12) coaxial to the shaft (1). Mounted to the housing (12) is a flange (17) of a cup-shaped annular wheel (8). Its lower rim (16) has a running surface (7) inside, on which the planets (3) roll off. The diameter of the running surface (7) is smaller than the sum of the diameter of the sun wheel (2) and twice the diameter of the planets (3), so that the rim (16) is elastically deformed. The planets (3) are supported rigidly in the circumferential direction and flexibly in the radial direction on the planetary carrier (6). Through this implementation, a backlash-free, rotationally very rigid gear is obtained with which high torques can be transferred in smooth operation.

Indeed, at their large ends the rollers have conical end faces, and the rollers in each pair contact each other along those conical end faces, there being line contact here as well. In addition, the transmission has a roller carrier provided with axles which extend into the rollers, so that the rollers revolve about and are maintained in position by the axles.

A traction drive of planetary configuration includes a cone, a pair of cups surrounding the cone, transfer rings located between the cone and the cups, and a cage that positions the transfer rings. The cone is unitary and has a pair of raceways which are presented outwardly and taper downwardly toward each other. The two cups have tapered raceways which are presented inwardly toward the cone raceway. The transfer rings on their peripheral surfaces are tapered and slightly crowned. The cage includes end disks which lie beyond the ends of the transfer rings and studs which connect the end disks and further serve as journals for the transfer rings, thus maintaining the rings at equal circumferential intervals. The two cups are held together, and springs, either at the rollers or along the cups, urge the tapered raceways of the cone and cups and the tapered peripheral surfaces of the transfer rings snugly together. The spring force is supplemented with an axial force derived from the torque transferred by the drive. Power may be applied at the cone or at the cups or at the cage, and may be delivered at either of the remaining two components.

A speed reducer (or increaser) has a group of planetary members with a major diameter bearing on a central annular member in rolling contact. The minor diameters of these members bear preferably on the inside surfaces of axially-spaced ring sections in rolling engagement on flared surfaces provided on either the ring sections of the planetary members, or both. The rolling engagement is under pressure generated preferably by urging one ring member axially in a direction to grip the planetary members between the ring sections and the central annular member as a result of change of the rolling position on the flared surfaces. An intermediate member is associated with the axis of the planetary members to provide peripheral spacing of the planetary members, and control of their position.
