The present paper describes a conceptual design of a turbopump which employs a planetary gear system. In a launcher system, weight is one of the most important design factor. In turbopump systems using propellants such as kerosene, or methane, single shaft systems are employed because of simplicity. One of the main disadvantages of this system, however, is the same rotational speed of both pumps and a turbine which forces to operate under non-optimum condition. To operate each component in optimum or favorable rotational speeds, a planetary gear system seems to be the best choice when the compactness and efficiency of a turbopump system is considered. A conceptual design and feasibility of the turbopump system adopting a planetary gear system is suggested.

The performance of fault diagnostics for a planetary gearbox depends on vibration modulation characteristics, which can vary with manufacturing & assembly tolerance, and load condition. In this paper, a fault diagnostics technique that considers vibration modulation characteristics is proposed for the effective fault detection of planetary gearboxes in wind turbines. For identifying the vibration modulation characteristics in practice, re-sampled vibration signals are processed with narrow band-pass filters. Thereafter, the optimal position of the vibration extraction window is identified for effective detection of faulty signals under the varying vibration modulation characteristics. The proposed diagnostics technique makes it possible to perform robust diagnostics of the planetary gearbox with regard to the changeable vibration modulation effect. For demonstrating the proposed fault diagnostics technique, a 2-kW WT testbed is designed with two DC motors and gearboxes. A faulty gear with partial tooth breakage is machined and assembled into the gearbox.

일반적으로 건설중장비에 쓰이는 주행용 감속기의 종류에는 차동유성기구(Differential Planetary Drive), 2단유성기구(Two Stage Planetary Drive), 3단유성기구(Three Stage Planetary Dnive)가 있으나 전체적인 감속기의 성능 및 특성에 대해서는 자세히 알려져 있지않아 주행시스템의 국내개발이 미흡한 상황에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점의 1차적 해결책으로서 주행장치에 채용될 Heavy Duty용 유성기어 감속기를 차동유성기구 한개 모델과 2단유성기구 두개 모델을 시제품으로 제작하여 종류별로 동력전달효율과 감속기 내부 온도상승의 관점에서 그 성능을 비교 분석하여 각각의 특성을 제시하였다.

Electric wheelchairs, the output from the motor is mainly applied to a speed reducer using a power transmission device such as a belt or a chain. However, although a speed reducer using a belt or chain is a simple device, it occupies a lot of space and has a space limitation, so it is not suitable for an electric wheelchair driving part. However, since the speed reducer of the planetary gear type is decelerated on the same axis, the volume can be reduced, so the space constraint is less than that of the belt or chain type reducer. Therefore, in this study, a driving part that can obtain great propulsion with a speed reducer using a planetary gear type was developed through a study on the driving part of a wheelchair that can be switched between manual and electric. Accordingly, the tooth shape of the planetary gear applied to the reducer was designed using the Kisssoft program. In addition, the drive part was designed to be applicable to the existing wheelchair wheels, and the mechanism was optimized for the manual/electric switching principle and operation principle of the drive part. Based on the research contents, the final design and manufacture of the wheelchair reducer drive unit in the form of a planetary gear having one sun gear, two planetary gears and one ring gear was carried out.

This study is concerned with the numerical investigation of dynamic characteristics of 2.5MW-class wind turbine gearbox in which the misalignment improvement of plenary gear shafts by the flexible pins and the dynamic impact response are analyzed by the finite element method. The tooth contact between gears is modelled using the line element having the equivalent tooth stiffness and the contact ratio to accurately and effectively reflect the load transmission in the internal complex gear system. The equivalent tooth stiffness is calculated by utilizing the tooth deformation analysis and the impulse torque is applied to the input shaft for the dynamics response characteristic analysis. Through the numerical experiments, the equivalent tooth stiffness model was validated and the misalignment improvement of planetary gear shafts was confirmed from the comparison with the cases of fixed shafts at one and both ends.

감속기가 사용되어지는 경우 부하의 변동이나 구동부의 상태변화에 따라 모터의 토크, 회전수 등이 변하는데 이러한 값들을 모니터링 하면 부하의 변동이나 구동부를 진단할 수 있다. 본 논문은 유성기어를 이용한 기어드 모터를 제작하고, LCD를 포함하는 간단한 사용자 인터페이스를 통해 전달 Torque, 전달회전수(rpm), 전달동력을 확인할 수 있는 소형의 표시기가 있는 감속기에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 전달 토크를 측정하는 장비는 크기가 크고 고가이며 계측기를 연결하고 측정하는 과정이 매우 번거로울 뿐만 아니라 지속적인 유지보수가 필요한 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 유성기어를 사용하면 간단히 모터의 토크 및 회전수를 측정할 수 있고 측정값을 표시하는 표시기를 모터에 부착할 수 있다. 측정 및 표시기는 기존 가격에 비해 매우 값싸게 제작할 수 있고 유지보수가 필요 없으며 검출 값을 시스템 제어부에 피드백 시키면 자기진단이 가능해진다. 특히 블루투스를 이용한 무선 통신기능을 부과하면 원격 모니터링이 가능하고 복수 모터유닛의 네트워크 구성이 용이하며 인터넷을 통한 데이터 통신으로의 확장이 가능하다.

The composite planetary gear reducer, a power transmission component of armored vehicles, operates at a high torque and is used in severe environments such as mountain, gravel or unpaved roads. Therefore, they must be designed and manufactured to have high durability. To design such a planetary gear reducer, there are numerous specifications to validate, such as selecting the module and the number of teeth of each gear satisfied the requirements, and calculating gear specifications and durability strength. Because planetary gears constitute a combination of several gears, there are many restrictions and interferences in selecting the number of teeth and addendum modification coefficients, and designing the tooth shape. Developing an auto design program is necessary to design various planetary gears more conveniently and quickly. In this study, a planetary gear reducer design software, widely used in various machines and armored vehicles, was developed. This design software can automatically select the number of teeth and modules of the gears, calculate specifications and quickly evaluate its fatigue durability strength and scoring failure according to the planetary gear reducer design theory.
