This paper studies the multiple-split load sharing mechanism of gears in two-stage external meshing planetary transmission system of aeroengine. According to the eccentric error, gear tooth thickness error, pitch error, installation error, and bearing manufacturing error, we performed the meshing error analysis of equivalent angles, respectively, and we also considered the floating meshing error caused by the variation of the meshing backlash, which is from the floating of all gears at the same time. Finally, we obtained the comprehensive angle meshing error of the two-stage meshing line, established a refined mathematical computational model of 2-stage external 3-split loading sharing coefficient in consideration of displacement compatibility, got the regular curves of the load sharing coefficient and load sharing characteristic curve of full floating multiple-split and multiple-stage system, and took the variation law of the floating track and the floating quantity of the center wheel. These provide a scientific theory to determine the load sharing coefficient, reasonable load distribution, and control tolerances in aviation design and manufacturing.
PrefaceTwo-stage external meshing planetary transmission system is widely used in aviation and special precision transmission field. The T53-L-11 turbo-axis aircraft engine produced by Lycoming (US Company) used two-stage external meshing planetary transmission system as its reducer. Located in the engine head and installed in the intake box, reducer transports the motivation from free turbine shaft to the second sun gear after decreasing speed and increasing torque. Two-stage star gear transmission has multiple duplicate gears with fixedaxes to share the load, its star gears do not revolve, and its characteristics are power split, high transmission power, and only one-side load bearing, and so on. Two-stage star gear transmission uses two-stage star gears, without the ring gear, directly output by two external gears, so that it overcomes the alternating load of planet gear in traditional planetary gear transmission, the difficulty in processing of ring gear, the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of carrier, and intermittent lubrication of planet gear. The system strength, stiffness, and working life and reliability of transmission system have greatly improved by using two-stage fixed-axis external meshing gears. In this paper, a precise load sharing characteristic analysis model is established for all gears with angular displacement compatibility, including bearing manufacturing errors, gear manufacturing errors (eccentricity error, tooth thickness error, and pitch error), installation error, and the meshing error caused by the variation of the meshing backlash resulting from simultaneous floating of all the gears. Research results can be used for aircraft engine and other precision special transmission systems in load sharing coefficients determination, vibration noise reduction, structure optimization, and error precision control.
