Шариковый дифференциал относится к машиностроению. Отвечает современным запросам на компактные дифференциалы, как самостоятельные технические изделия (узлы) с регулируемыми рабочими параметрами и защитой от разрушающих перегрузок. Шариковый дифференциал найдет применение в облегченной роботизированной технике, квадроциклах, грузовых велосипедах. Предлагаемый дифференциал вместо традиционного зубчатого имеет фрикционное зацепление и передает усилия через тела качения – шарики. Шариковый дифференциал содержит обойму с отверстиями, заложенными в них шариками, и две полуоси, которые охватывают обойму с двух сторон. Для повышения эффективности передачи усилий на торцах фланцев закреплены фрикционные накладки с повышенными фрикционными свойствами и поверхностной износостойкостью. Техническим результатом является повышение эффективности и плавности процесса дифференциации, компактность, простота в изготовлении, неприхотливость в использовании.

Полезная модель относится к области машиностроения, а именно к фрикционным передачам, и может быть использована в авиационной, транспортной промышленности, подъемной технике и других областях народного хозяйства. Фрикционный планетарный редуктор состоит из корпуса, центрального вращающегося колеса, сателлитов, установленных в водиле, центрального неподвижного охватывающего кольца, обжимаемого несколькими конусными секторами, которые взаимодействуют с центральным конусным кольцом. Предлагаемое техническое решение обеспечивает равномерное поджатие колес передачи, повышение плавности и долговечности работы, за счет применения конусных секторов, которые при взаимодействии с центральным коническим кольцом равномерно сжимают центральное неподвижное охватывающее колесо, применение которого исключает контакт сателлитов с ребрами конусных секторов. Ослабление сил поджатия колес ввиду их износа компенсируется пружинными элементами. 1 ил.

Traction transmission capacity control device used in drive force distribution device

Номер: US20120100955A1
Принадлежит: Nissan Motor Co Ltd

A traction transmission capacity control device used in a drive force distribution device includes a second-roller turning means configured to turn the second roller around an eccentric axis deviated from a rotation axis of the second roller, and thereby to control a mutual radially-pressing force between the first roller and the second roller so that a traction transmission capacity is controlled. The traction transmission capacity control device further includes a one-direction turning-stop-position detecting means configured to detect a position at which the turning of the second roller stops after the second-roller turning means starts to turn the second roller in one direction; an another-direction turning-stop-position detecting means configured to detect a position at which the turning of the second roller stops after the second-roller turning means starts to turn the second roller in another direction; and a second-roller turning-motion reference-point setting means configured to set a center position between the position detected by the one-direction turning-stop-position detecting means and the position detected by the another-direction turning-stop-position detecting means, as a turning-motion reference point of the second roller. The traction transmission capacity control device is configured to perform a traction transmission capacity control based on a second-roller turning amount given from the turning-motion reference point of the second roller.

A power transmission, which transmits a driving force from a driving roller to a driven roller by using a friction roller. The power transmission includes a driving roller, a driven roller spaced apart from the driving roller, and a friction roller to transmit a driving force from the driving roller to the driven roller. The friction roller is disposed above a line connecting between centers of the driving roller and the driven roller. With this construction, the friction roller transmits the driving force in a state of being interposed between the driving rollers and the driven rollers by rotation thereof, thereby allowing the power transmission to have a simplified structure, which does not require a separate pressing spring, and at the same time, to generate a minimum amount of power loss.

Disclosed are steerable units that enable the variability of the friction force's magnitude and direction by using rolling contacts, in which the angle of the rolling contacts with respect to the surface containing the steerable unit can be controlled, as an object's frictional surface. This allows an object to adjust the direction and magnitude of the force it transfers through friction and also allows the received frictional force's direction and magnitude to be varied by the receiving object's rolling contacts. Also disclosed are applications of the steerable units in various machines.

Bearing and gear unit for wind turbines

Номер: US20160153426A1
Автор: Jens Groenager
Принадлежит: Individual

The economic efficiency of wind turbines improves by upscaling but the weight to strength ratio deteriorates. This is especially true for the large shaft and bearing of the rotor, the gearbox and the generator. Solutions to this was the gearless generator, getting heavy because the amount of magnetic material is inversely proportional to speed, or several smaller generators adapted to the wind on a distribution gear as shown in references (1), (2) and (3). The large roller bearing of the rotor has relatively large bearing clearance so only the top or lower rollers bear the entire weight of the rotor and thus must be dimensioned relatively large. The present invention spreads the load on the support bearing to more rollers and to smaller faster running and thereby lighter generators. It has the rotor attached to the outer ring, each roller rotatably mounted to the nacelle and the inner ring free wheeling. The outer and inner rings are relatively stiffer than the rotatable fixation of the upper rollers to the nacelle, so that the upper rollers flex slightly down under the weight of the rotor allowing some of the force of gravity to be transferred to the inner ring and on to the bottom relatively stiff journalled rollers. Gear teeth can be used to transfer torque to all rollers, or the inner ring pressed against the side rollers, or the conical rollers can be pressed dynamically in between the outer and inner ring with relatively constant force. This is shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 in perspective and FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , in radial section. The relatively small roller shafts can now be used as PTO with gear ratio bearing diameter to roller diameter. The cost of the extra bearings for each roller is offset by savings in the usual center shaft and gear. Also, the friction from the edge of the outer or inner ring to keep the large rollers in place is missing. These benefits are especially important for wind turbines with heavy hub, axle and gear on a tall tower, and large wing ...
