RING GEAR MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT WITH OIL SCAVENGE SCHEME
An epicyclic gear train for a turbine engine includes a gutter with an annular channel. A rotating structure includes a ring gear. The rotating structure has an aperture that is axially aligned with the annular channel. Axially spaced apart walls extend radially outward relative to the rotating structure to define a passageway. The passageway is arranged radially between the aperture and the annular channel. The walls are configured to inhibit an axial flow of an oil passing from the aperture toward the annular channel.
TRANSMISSION OF VEHICLE, POWERTRAIN, AND VEHICLE
A vehicle having a powertrain and a power battery is provided. The powertrain includes an engine, a power generator, a driving motor, and a transmission. The power generator is connected to the engine in a transmission manner. The transmission includes a housing and a one-way oil channel. An isolation board is arranged in the housing, a driving cavity is provided on a side of the isolation board, and a power generation cavity is provided on the other side of the isolation board. The one-way oil channel is located at a top of the driving cavity and the power generation cavity, and the one-way oil channel is configured to guide oil from the driving cavity to the power generation cavity in a unidirectional manner.
OIL LUBRICATION SYSTEM OF TRANSMISSION CASE
A lubrication system of a transmission includes a plurality of oil passages formed in an upper portion of a transmission case and supplied with churning oil, a plurality of oil outlets branched from respective oil passages formed in the transmission case and allowing oil supplied from the oil passages to free-fall, and an oil collecting portion formed at an interior of the case wall between the gear case and the motor case. In particular, the oil collecting portion collects oil free-falling from at least one oil outlet branched from at least one oil passage at the gear case, through a through-hole formed at a case wall of the gear case, and then supplies the collected oil to an exterior lubrication portion.
Ring gear mounting arrangement with oil scavenge scheme
An epicyclic gear train for a turbine engine includes a gutter with an annular channel. A rotating structure includes a ring gear that has an aperture that is axially aligned with the annular channel. Axially spaced apart walls extend radially outward relative to the rotating structure to define a passageway. The passageway is arranged radially between and axially aligned with the aperture and the annular channel. The walls are configured to inhibit an axial flow of an oil passing from the aperture toward the annular channel.
AXLE DRIVE
An axle drive for a vehicle includes at least one drivable vehicle axle oriented transversely to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A drive shaft extends parallel with the longitudinal direction and receives drive power from an electric motor at an input section and outputs said drive power at an output section. A driven shaft extends parallel with the drive shaft and receives drive power from the output section of the drive shaft at an input section and outputs said drive power to the vehicle axle via a bevel gear arranged at a first end of the driven shaft. A brake, in particular a parking brake, includes a brake disk arranged at a second end of the driven shaft and between the input section of the drive shaft and the input section of the driven shaft with respect to the longitudinal direction.
Hover-capable aircraft and lubrication method for a module of a transmission unit of said aircraft
An aircraft is described comprising a transmission unit with a first module and a lubrication system; the first module comprises a casing and a movable member; the lubrication system comprises a header, a nozzle fed with the lubricating fluid and designed to feed the lubricating fluid inside the casing of the first module, a collection tank for the lubricating fluid injected by the nozzle, and recirculation means designed to cause the recirculation of the lubricating fluid from the collection tank to the feed header; the first module comprises a valve available in a first configuration, in which it enables the outflow of said lubricating fluid from said module to the recirculation means when the pressure of the lubricating fluid inside the header is greater than a threshold value; and in a second configuration, in which it fluidically isolates the module from the recirculation means when the pressure of the lubricating fluid inside the header is less than the threshold value.
OIL BAFFLE FOR GAS TURBINE FAN DRIVE GEAR SYSTEM
A turbo fan engine includes a housing that supports a compressor section. At least one compressor hub is within the compressor section. A compressor shaft is arranged in the compressor section. An epicyclic gear train is coupled to the compressor shaft. At least one compressor hub and the compressor shaft are coupled at a common attachment point. The epicyclic gear train includes a carrier. A sun gear and intermediate gears are arranged about and intermeshing with the sun gear. The intermediate gears are supported by the carrier. A baffle is supported relative to the carrier and includes a lubrication passage near at least one of the sun gear and intermediate gears for directing a lubricant on at least one of the sun gear and the intermediate gears.
WASHER AND DIFFERENTIAL DEVICE
A washer includes at least one differential gear back face part covering a back face of one differential gear, an output gear back face part covering a back face of one output gear, and at least one linking part connecting between the output gear back face part and the differential gear back face part. A guideway extending from an outer peripheral part of the output gear back face part up to the differential gear back face part is formed in an inner face of the linking part, the guideway including a step separating a middle part of the linking part from both end parts of the linking part.
Gearbox lubrication
A helicopter tail rotor gearbox including a housing, an output shaft for connection to a tail rotor rotatably supported in the housing and having an open end therein, an input member rotatably supported in the housing, gearing providing a power transmitting connection between the input member and output shaft, a pitch control shaft for effecting a change in the pitch of the tail rotor, the pitch control shaft being disposed at least partially within the output shaft, rotatable therewith, and movable relative thereto along the rotational axis of the output shaft, an actuating member for effecting axial movement of the pitch control shaft, the actuating member being movable axially of the output shaft but held against rotation therewith, and a bearing assembly positioned in between the pitch control shaft and the actuating member for permitting relative rotation therebetween, wherein the gearbox includes at least one formation for diverting oil, dispersed within the housing in use, towards the open end of the output shaft.
Lubricating structure for speed reducer
A lubricating structure for a speed reducer includes: a case; a first reduction gear pair provided inside the case; a second reduction gear pair provided inside the case; a first catch tank arranged inside the case; a second catch tank arranged inside the case; a partition member that includes a partition wall that partitions an inside of the case into a first accommodation space in which the first reduction gear pair is accommodated and a second accommodation space in which the second reduction gear pair is accommodated; a first oil passage communicating with the first accommodation space and configured to guide lubricating oil to the first catch tank; a second oil passage communicating with the second accommodation space and configured to guide lubricating oil to the second catch tank; and a communication port provided in the partition member and communicating the first oil passage with the second oil passage.
