Three-shaft transmission having an elastic coupling element
View Patent ↗A triple shaft adjusting gear including a driving part ( 01 ) that can be connected rotationally fast to a drive shaft, a driven part that can be connected rotationally fast to a driven shaft and an adjusting member that can be connected to an adjusting shaft. A mechanical stop for limiting an adjusting angle between the drive shaft and the driven shaft is arranged between two of the three shafts. According to the invention, the stop is an elastic coupling member for damping an impingement in case of a stop.
1. A triple shaft adjusting gear comprising a driving part that can be connected rotationally fast to a drive shaft, a driven part that can be connected rotationally fast to a driven shaft and an adjusting member that can be connected to an adjusting shaft, a mechanical stop for limiting an adjusting angle between the drive shaft and the driven shaft being arranged between two of the three shafts, said mechanical stop comprises an elastic coupling member for damping an impingement in case of a stop.
2. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanical stop is formed by a stop ring comprising a stop lug and a stop disk comprising a shift gate, said stop ring being connected rotationally fast to the drive part and said stop disk being connected rotationally fast to the driven part, and each of the stop lug and the shift gate comprises at least one stop surface and said stop surfaces come into contact with each other in case of a stop.
3. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic coupling member is arranged between the stop surfaces of the stop ring and the stop surface of the stop disk.
4. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic coupling member is at least one of a mechanical, a pneumatic, or a hydraulic coupling member.
5. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic coupling member is a spring.
6. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic coupling member is configured as a spring ring.
7. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 4 , wherein the pneumatic or hydraulic coupling member comprises a pressure-loaded piston.
8. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic coupling member is formed by an elastic bed on at least one of the stop surfaces.
9. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic coupling member is formed by a rotationally elastic mounting of the stop ring or of the stop disk.
10. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 2 , wherein the stop disk comprises a primary stop disk and a secondary stop disk, and a coupling member formed as a torsion spring is arranged between said primary stop disk and said secondary stop disk.
11. A triple shaft adjusting gear according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling member possesses a damping characteristic.
