The central cylindrical section of the said rolling planet wheel rotates about its own axis and at the saone tiie revolves around the center line of the speed reducer , and is therefore termed a "planet wheel"' since the ioving parts of the planet wheel are counted on rolling bearings , hence such a rotationtransittinR mechanism is teraed a "rolling planet wheel".
The above mentioned components constitute the basic constructlon of the planetary Rear transalsslon aechanlsn of involute gears with coiplex minor tooth- difference , the power input shaft of which can be coupled to a power Input gearbox to fora a series of planetary gear speed reducers or speed trans.ission units (also can be used as speed Increase units ) to meet the requireaents of varlous applications , they can be installed in horizontal, upright.

As Is shown In Fig. 1 , the crankshaft 5 has two crankaxles 4 and 3 , the Internal gear Z Is stationary, the planet Rear Z. is loose-sleeved to for1 a running fit on the journal of the crankaxle A and meshes with L . Another planet gear L Is loose-sleeved to fori a running fit on the Journal of the other crankaxle 3 and aeshes with the Internal Rear Z . The output shaft 1 is integral with the Internal Rear L and is coaxial with the crankshaft 5.The rotation-transmitting aechanlsa between the planet Rears I and I is the rolling planet wheel 2 , which coaprises a toggle link , on the cylindrical sect ions at the two ends of this toggle link are ounted rolling bearings which fit respectively into the evenly distributed holes in the planet Rears E and Z .The center circle of these evenly distributed holes In the planet gear L has a diaieter of D@ and the center circle of the evenly distrubuted holes In the planet gear Z has a diameter of D@ ; Dn and L6 should be made equal,also the nuibers of evenly distributed holes in both planet gears should be equal. In the recess on the inner face of the output shaft , a bilateral balancer 6 designed on the three- point bilateral action concept Is counted at the end of the crankshaft 5.The balancer 6 works in this ianner : suppose the distance between the centres of gravity of the balancer 6 and the assembly of Rear Z. and crankaxle 3 is S1 , and the distance between the centres of gravity of the asseibly of Rear Z. and crankaxle A and the assembly of gear L and crankaxle 3 is S , during operatlon , the balancer 6 produces a centrifugal force F, . the assaebly of gear I and crankaxle 3 produces a centrifugal force F2 , and the assembly of gear I and crankaxle 4 produces a centrifugal force F, . (forces are not shown in drawings. ) .In order to transmitting stably and smoothly , the following two formulas rust be satisfied stimultaneously. i.e.
F2 = F1 + F2 and F1XSI = F,XSI To select the optimal coabinatlon of Rears for the specified tranmission ratio under conditions of ratlonal structural design , spur gears are used throughout for the Internal aeshing gear-pairs of the planetary gear speed reducer with complex minor tooth-difference of the present invention , the design rules are: Z1 -Z ; > Z1 -Z In #@M , and an > aM , wherein Z1 , Z , Z3 , Z4 denote the nuabers of teeth of the respective gears; #12 denotes the nodule of gears I and I ; aX denotes the nodule of gears Z and Z ap denotes the eccentric distance of the crank axle at the gear-pair Z, and Z2 ; aX denotes the eccentric distance of the crank axle at the gear-pair Z and Z.
Also the eccentric distance between the cylindrical journals at the ends of the toggle link of the rolling planet wheel 2 should equal the sui of the eccentric distances between the crank axles supporting the two gear-pairs , I.
e , It should equal ( Bn + a24 ) al The above descrlbed mechanism works In this ianner : Rotative motion Is introduced Into the reducer froi crankshaft 5 , the planet Rear Z rotates about Its own axis and revolves around the Internal gear Z, , Its rotating lotion is In turn transaitted to the planet Rear L through the rotationtransaitting aechanlsa, I.e. the rolling planet wheel 2. The joint action of Z and the crankshaft 5 lakes Z2 to rotate about its own axis and revolve around the Internal gear Z, , thus the reduced rotation speed Is translitted through the meshing internal Rear Z, to the output shaft 1.
Fig. 2 shows a planetary Rear speed reducer of low transMission ratio with one internal meshing gear-pair , it differs froi that shown in Fig. I In that the Rears Z and Z,, are not used , they are replaced by a planet wheel seat 9 (I.e.
fixed ring ) . On this planet wheel seat 9 n evenly distributed holes are drilled , the diameter of their center circles Is equal to the diameter of the center circle of the evenly distributed holes on Rear L , i.e., , Db = . The two journals of the planet wheel engage respectively with the evenly distributed and equal in number holes In the planet gear Z2 and In the planet wheel seat 9. Slnce the planet Rear Z, is omitted , a balance weight 8 Is placed on the axle where Z, was originally installed. This balance weight 8 is latched with the planet gear asseably Z, and the bilateral balancer 6' to constitute a three-point bilateral balancing system.
This planetry Rear speed reducer works thus : Rotatlve lotion is Introduced Into this reducer through the crankshaft 5 , as one Journal of the rolling planet wheel 2 Is engaged In the evenly distributed hole In the planet wheel seat 9, the rolling planet wheel 2 can only rotate about Its own axis and cannot revolve around the axis of the Rearbox.The planet Rear L , which is under the action of the crankshaft 5 and the rolling planet wheel 2, can only revolve in its plane around the internal gear Z14 which Is in engagement with Z, As there exists a difference In the number of teeth In Z1 and Z, , the planet Rear Z2 drlves the Internal gear Z1 to rotate at a reduced speed , and this rotation Is transmitted to the driven object through the output shaft.
The planetary Rear speed transrlssion gear-box with complex minor toothdifference shown in Fig. 3 differs itself in principle froi that shown in Fig.
1 in that it has a floating planet wheel seat 9' between the two planet gears.
The evenly distributed holes In the planet wheel seat 9' slip over the riddle journal of the rolling planet vheel. The diameters of the center circles of the evenly distributed holes In the planet gears D22, D and that In the planet wheel seat D20 should be equal , i.e. i.e. . =D22 =DD24 . The numbers of the evenly distributed holes should also be equal. The planet wheel seat 9' and the internal gear Z' are alternately held stationary or are left floating.
The working principle of this speed transMission device Is as follows: Rotative lotion Is Introduced into this device through the input shaft 5; when the planet wheel seat 9' is held stationary and the Internal Rear L' is floating, Z3 and Z.' are rotating under no load,and the planet gear Z2 revolves in Its plane under the joint action of the rolling planet wheel 2' and the crankshaft 5.As Z2 is in engagerent with the internal gear Z1 and owing to the difference in the number of teeth, I will drive Zt to rotate at a reduced speed with a low transmission i,. When the internal gear L' is held stationary and the planet wheel seat 9' Is floating,the planet gear I rotates about Its own axis and also revolves around the Internal gear Z' under the joint action of the crankshaft 5 and the stationary Internal Rear Z' .The rotative lotion Is transmitted through the rolling planet wheel 2' to the planet wheel seat 9' and the planet Rear Z2, the planet wheel seat 9' rotates together with the rolling planet wheel 2', whilst the planet Rear I rotates as well as revolves under the joint action of the rolling planet wheel 2' and the crankshaft 5. As the planet gear Z2 and the internal gear 24 are in engagement and the latter is solidly coupled with the output shaft , a reduced rotative speed will be transmitted to the driven object with a high transiission ratio i2 . The range of ii /12 can be selected according to the requireients of application.
The advantages of the devices of the present invention are obvious: 1.The transmission ratio attainable with the present invent Ion is wide-ranged and can have very dense divisions, which cannot be attained on any other types of reducer products.

3. The transaission efficiency of the speed reducer and transMission gear-box is high. With a rigorous desiRn of optilized parameters , the engageMent efficiency of the gears can reach 99% ; also , as rolling bearings are used throughout In the rotatlon- translitting lechanisls , a very high combined translission efficiency can be attained.
A. The linear speed of the gear teeth of the speed reducer and transalssion Rear-box is usually kept under I l/sec , also a unique bilateral balancer incorporating the three-point bilateral balancing design is used, hence it has stable and sMooth operation and the noise level is in the range of 6 to 80 dB.
5. The speed reducer and transMission Rear-box is designed with precisely selected constructional parameters and heat balance considerations , with the application of special technology and rolling bearings for all rotation transitting MechanisMs , hence It has the features of long service life and high reliability.

And It has been designed for use In constructlon-cachinery the driving speed reducer , rotary table speed reducer4 holster speed reducer, winch speed reducer4 motor-driven roller speed reducer4 and for use In boiler the speed reducer and transMission Rear-box etc. and several varieties for special purposes.
7. The present invention can use involute spur gear assemblies without tooth correction so that the complex calculations ay be avoided. The pressure angle of the meshing gears is sMall so that the radial load of the bearings will be reduced.
The characteristics of the present invention can best be understood through the description of exaMples of eMbodilents. However , these exaMples do not in any way lapse liMitations to the scope of the Invent Ion.
