EPICYCLIC TRANSMISSION

摘要

An epicyclic transmission has a sun gear rotating about a transmission axis, a planet carrier provided with a plurality of tenons, which extend along respective supporting axes, and a plurality of planet gears meshing with the sun gear and supported by the tenons, by means of the interposition of bearings which allow the planet gears to rotate about respective rotation axes, parallel to the transmission axis; the inner rings of the bearings are coupled to the tenons in a swiveling manner by means of joint devices defined by cylindrical hinges which hinge about hinge axes which are fixed with respect to the tenons and lay on a plane orthogonal to the transmission and rotation axes.

1. An epicyclic transmission comprising:
a sun gear rotating about a transmission axis; a planet carrier comprising a plurality of tenons, which extend along respective supporting axes; a plurality of planet gears meshing said sun gear and supported by said tenons; a plurality of bearings for coupling said planet gears to said tenons and allowing said planet gears to rotate about respective rotation axes, which are parallel to said transmission axis; said bearings comprising respective inner rings; joint means for coupling said inner rings to said tenons in a swiveling manner;wherein said joint means are defined by cylindrical hinges which hinge said inner rings to said tenons about hinge axes which are fixed with respect to said tenons and lay on a plane orthogonal to said transmission and rotation axes.
