Abstract

A planetary carrier of a planetary gearing includes two planet web cheeks interconnected by planet webs. The sides of the planet web cheeks are mutually opposed in the circumferential direction and, together with outer lateral surfaces of the planetary webs, define lateral surface openings. At least one planet pin opening for receiving a pin for mounting a planet gear is provided in at least one planet web cheek. At least one planet web cheek, in the region of the attachment of a planet web, has a transition reducing the axial length of the planet web. The planetary carrier is optimized in terms of weight and strength by way of the transition having a rounded contour in the form of a spherical recess.

Claims (29)

1. A planetary carrier of a planetary gearing, comprising:

two planet web cheeks interconnected by planet webs, the sides of the planet web cheeks mutually opposed in the circumferential direction, together with outer lateral surfaces of the planetary webs, defining lateral surface openings,

wherein at least one planet web cheek defines at least one planet pin opening configured to received a pin configured to mount a planet gear,

wherein at least one planet web cheek, in the region of the attachment of a planet web, has a transition reducing the axial length of the planet web, the transition having a rounded contour,

wherein the planet web has a closed geometry or an open geometry, and

wherein the transition has a concave contour.

2. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the geometry is a triangular geometry.

3. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the concave contour is a spherical recess.

4. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the planet web defines a cavity arranged in the axial direction of the planetary carrier.

5. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the planet web cheek, on the outer circumference, has a projection in the form of a bead.

6. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the planet web cheek, between the planet web and the planet pin opening, has a thickening of the wall in the form of a protuberance.

7. The planetary carrier according to claim 6 , wherein the planet web cheek, on the outer circumference, has a projection in the form of a bead, and wherein the thickening leads into the projection.

8. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein an axial eyeglass-frame contour is arranged on the planet pin opening, the contour transitioning inwardly into a circumferential rib surrounding a central bore and outwardly into an outer bead.

9. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein an indentation on an inner face of the planet web cheek is provided in the transition to a through-opening.

10. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral surface of the planet web has a radial outer bulge.

11. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture is formed in the transition.

12. The planetary carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the planetary carrier is part of a fluid flow power plant transmission.

13. The planetary carrier according to claim 12 , wherein the planetary carrier is part of a tidal power plant transmission or a wind turbine transmission.

14. A planetary carrier of a planetary gearing, comprising:

two planet web cheeks interconnected by planet webs, the sides of the planet web cheeks mutually opposed in the circumferential direction, together with outer lateral surfaces of the planetary webs, defining lateral surface openings,

wherein at least one planet web cheek defines at least one planet pin opening configured to received a pin configured to mount a planet gear,

wherein at least one planet web cheek, in the region of the attachment of a planet web, has a transition reducing the axial length of the planet web, the transition having a rounded contour,

wherein the planet web cheek, between the planet web and the planet pin opening, has a thickening of the wall in the form of a protuberance, and

wherein the thickening is formed so as to become outwardly thicker in the radial direction in a triangular manner.

15. A planetary carrier of a planetary gearing, comprising:

two planet web cheeks interconnected by planet webs, the sides of the planet web cheeks mutually opposed in the circumferential direction, together with outer lateral surfaces of the planetary webs, defining lateral surface openings,

wherein at least one planet web cheek defines at least one planet pin opening configured to received a pin configured to mount a planet gear,

wherein at least one planet web cheek, in the region of the attachment of a planet web, has a transition reducing the axial length of the planet web, the transition having a rounded contour, and

wherein the planet web has at least one through-hole formed in a circumferential wall.
