Planetary gear wheel construction
View Patent ↗A planetary gear wheel construction with one or several planet wheels which are bearing-mounted on a planet carrier, which is provided in a rotating manner in a housing, and an oil lubrication formed of an oil supply via a ring-shaped channel in the housing formed of a ring-shaped groove and a distribution element turning along with the planet carrier which is rotatably held in the groove, and which is provided with a passage to connect the oil channel to an oil channel in the planet carrier which opens at a planet wheel. The distribution element is coupled to the planet carrier by a loose connection which makes it possible to transmit the rotational movement of the planet carrier to the distribution element, and the oil channel in the planet carrier is connected to the passage in the distribution element by a flexible or moving oil pipe.
1. A planetary gear wheel construction with one or several planet wheels which are bearing-mounted on a planet carrier, which is provided in a rotating manner in a housing, and an oil lubrication which is formed of an oil supply via a ring-shaped channel in the housing formed of a ring-shaped groove and a distribution element turning along with the planet carrier, the ring-shaped distribution element being held in said groove such that the ring-shaped distribution element can rotate, and the ring-shaped distribution element being provided with a passage to connect said ring-shaped oil channel to an oil channel in the planet carrier which opens at a planet wheel, wherein the distribution element is coupled to the planet carrier by means of a loose connection which makes it possible to transmit the rotational movement of the planet carrier to the distribution element, and in that the oil channel in the planet carrier is connected to the passage in the distribution element by means of a flexible or moving oil pipe.
2. The planetary gear wheel construction according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible or moving oil pipe is connected to an oil channel situated in the shafts of the planet wheels.
3. The planetary gear wheel construction according to claim 1 , wherein the moving or flexible oil pipe is axially directed.
4. The planetary gear wheel construction according to claim 1 , wherein the moving or flexible oil pipe is held in a movable manner in the oil channel of the planet carrier or in the passage of the distribution element with at least one of its far ends.
5. The planetary gear wheel construction according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the far ends of the moving oil pipe can rotate in relation to the planet carrier or the distribution element.
6. The planetary gear wheel construction according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the far ends of the moving oil pipe can be axially moved in relation to the planet carrier or the distribution element.
7. The planetary gear wheel construction according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the far ends has a spherical finish and is held as a sort of ball joint in a spherical recess or cylindrical recess in the distribution element or in the planet carrier.
8. The planetary gear wheel construction according to claim 1 , wherein at the far ends of the oil pipe is provided a sealing in the planet carrier of the distribution element.
9. The gear wheel construction according to claim 1 , wherein the loose connection between the distribution element and the planet carrier is formed of a pin which is provided on the planet carrier and which is provided with a loose fit in a hole of the distribution element.
10. The gear wheel construction according to claim 1 , wherein the distribution element is ring-shaped.
