The present invention relates to a power transmission device, which includes: a worm shaft; a Janggu (slim waist drum)-shaped worm which is provided on the worm shaft, and has a diameter-reduced part whose outer diameter is increased toward both ends from a center thereof in an axial direction of the worm shaft, wherein the diameter-reduced part has spiral worm teeth formed thereon; a first transmission shaft disposed in parallel to the worm shaft at an interval; and a first transmission gear which is provided on the first transmission shaft, and includes first gear teeth having tooth shapes conjugated with the worm teeth of the Janggu-shaped worm and are continuously formed in a spiral shape on an outer circumferential surface thereof, thus to rotate by threadedly engaging with the worm teeth of the Janggu-shaped worm.

The present disclosure provides an improved cogwheel permitting enhanced meshing of cogwheels when operating perpendicularly. Exemplary embodiments introduce a multi-cogwheel design with specific dimensions and tooth profiles to permit perpendicular engagement of cogwheels whilst permitting translation of such cogwheels.

An intersecting-axes gear type mechanism includes two gears configured to rotate in mesh with each other. Respective axes of rotation of the two gears being disposed in an intersecting-axes manner, and at least one of the gears has teeth each of which includes a tooth trace extending substantially in a radial direction and a radially inner end face. A chamfered portion is formed on a meeting portion where the radially inner end face and a tooth face of the each of the teeth meet, so as to extend over an overall length of the meeting portion. At least an entirety of an area where the chamfered portion and the radially inner end face meet and an entirety of an area where the chamfered portion and the tooth face meet are each composed of a curved surface in overall length.

A ram air turbine (RAT) assembly includes a gearbox that supports a gear set with a ring gear that drives a pinion gear. The gear set provides for the transmission of power from the turbine to a generator, pump or other power conversion device. A turbine shaft supports the ring gear and a pinion shaft that rotates about an axis transverse to the turbine shaft supports the pinion gear. A ratio between a face width and a diametrical pitch of the gear set is within a desired ratio that provides sufficient space for supporting bearing assemblies while providing for operation within the physical constraints and desired performance requirements of the RAT.

A bevel gear set and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The bevel gear set may include a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The first and second bevel gears may be spiral bevel gears or hypoid spiral bevel gears. The first and second bevel gears may each have a gear tooth surface having a plurality of teeth formed thereon, such that the teeth of the first bevel gear and the teeth of the second bevel gear are configured to engage in a meshing engagement. The teeth are machined onto the respective gear tooth surface via a face milling process. Each tooth includes a tooth top, a plurality of meshing surfaces, and at least one chamfer. The chamfer may be formed at an abutment edge disposed between the tooth top and a respective meshing surface via a brushing process directly following the machining of the teeth.

The present invention relates to a line gear mechanism with variable-angle transmission, which consists of a line gear pair having intersecting shafts which includes a driving line gear and a driven line gear. The driving line gear and the driven line gear are each composed of a wheel body and a line tooth. Contact curves of the driving line gear and the driven line gear mesh according to a pair of space conjugate curves. One or more line teeth are provided on the driving line gear. The line tooth on the driven line gear is a line tooth that has a property of variable-angle transmission. During transmission, the mechanism may adjust a transmission angle of the line gear pair having the intersecting shafts, thus causing meshing points to form on different contact curves while a transmission ratio remains unchanged and the transmission is stable.

A gearwheel pairing for a helical gearing, comprising a helical gear with a first toothing segment, and a worm with a second toothing segment, wherein the first toothing segment and the second toothing segment can be brought into intermeshing and form an involute toothing when intermeshed, the materials of the first and the second toothing segments are chosen such that when intermeshed there results a plastic-metal material pairing, and the toothing segment made of plastic has a first normal tooth thickness and the toothing segment made of metal has a second normal tooth thickness, wherein the ratio of the first normal tooth thickness to the second normal tooth thickness is increased by 10 to 200% with respect to a reference profile.
