Gearbox and drive arrangement with a gearbox
A gearbox for a drive arrangement of a machine for driving the machine with variably adjustable rotational speed, with a first planet gear set, to which a first drive unit can be coupled and a second planet gear set, to which the machine can be coupled. The first planet gear set and the second planet gear set each comprise planet gears arranged on at least two common planet shafts which are mounted in a planet carrier. The planet carrier is rotatably mounted in a gearbox housing and can be driven by a second drive unit.
1. A gearbox for a drive arrangement of a machine configured to drive the machine with variably adjustable rotational speed, comprising:
a gearbox housing;
a planet carrier rotatably mounted in the gearbox housing and configured to be driven by a second drive unit;
at least two common planet shafts mounted in the planet carrier;
a first planet gear set configured to be coupled to a first drive unit that is configured as an electric motor; and
a second planet gear set configured to be coupled directly to the machine by a first sun gear of the second planet gear set;
wherein the first planet gear set and the second planet gear set each comprise respective planet gears arranged on the at least two common planet shafts,
wherein the second drive unit comprises a hollow shaft motor which is directly attached to rotate with the planet carrier, and
wherein the first drive unit is driveable with constant rotational speed, and the second drive unit is driveable with variably adjustable rotational speed.
2. The gearbox according to claim 1 ,
wherein a first sun gear of the first planet gear set meshes with the planet gears of the first planet gear set arranged on the at least two common planet shafts.
3. The gearbox according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first planet gear set comprises a first internal gear configured to be coupled to the first drive unit,
wherein the first internal gear of the first planet gear set meshes with the planet gears of the first planet gear set.
4. The gearbox according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first sun gear of the second planet gear set meshes with the planet gears of the second planet gear set.
5. The gearbox according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first sun gear of the second planet gear set meshes with the planet gears of the second planet gear set.
6. A drive arrangement, comprising:
a gearbox comprising:
a gearbox housing;
a planet carrier rotatably mounted in the gearbox housing;
at least two common planet shafts mounted in the planet carrier;
a first planet gear set; and
a second planet gear set having a sun gear;
wherein the first planet gear set and the second planet gear set each comprise respective planet gears arranged on the at least two common planet shafts;
a first drive unit configured as an electric motor and coupled to the first planet gear set via a shaft;
a machine configured to be driven with a variably adjustable speed and directly coupled to the second planet gear set by the first sun gear of the second planet gear set;
a second drive unit coupled to the planet carrier, a rotational speed of the second drive unit is superimposed on a rotational speed dependent on a rotational speed of the first drive unit,
wherein the second drive unit comprises a hollow shaft motor which is directly attached to rotate with the planet carrier,
wherein the second drive unit is configured to drive the planet carrier with a first variably adjustable rotational speed,
wherein the first drive unit is configured to drive the shaft with a second constant rotational speed, and
wherein the drive arrangement is configured to superimpose the first rotational speed on the second rotational speed.
