METHOD OF AMENDING A MULTI-STAGE GEARING APPARATUS

摘要

A method of amending a multi-stage gearing apparatus comprising:
a main shaft (100);at least one bull gear (102, 104) on said main shaft (100);a number of intermediate gears (114, 116, 118, 120) located around a perimeter of said bull gear (102, 104);each one of said intermediate gears (114, 116, 118, 120) being connected to an intermediate shaft (124, 126, 128, 130) having a pinion (106, 107; 108, 109; 110,111; 112, 113) that engages said bull gear (102, 104); a plurality of output shafts (142, 144, 146, 148), each one of said output shafts (142,144, 146, 148) having an output pinion (134, 136, 138, 140) that engages two adjacent intermediate gears (114, 116, 118, 120); and, a number of rotational devices (150, 152, 154, 156), each rotational device being connected to a respective one of said output shafts (142, 144, 146, 148), characterised in;that the method comprises the following step:
adjusting the set-up of the gearing apparatus so that the mesh of at least one of the output pinions (134, 136, 138, 140) with one of the two adjacent intermediate gears (114, 116, 118, 120) is released and the at least one output pinion (134, 136, 138,140) meshes with only one adjacent intermediate gear (114, 116, 118, 120).
