The basic structure of epicyclical gear transmission with inner teeth of single-ring, double-ring, three-ring and four-ring reducer are analyzed. The force analysis model of ring reducer is built. Following this, it is concluded that the present ring reducers have the problem that the inertia force or the inertia moment is lopsided. On the base of analysis and calculation the balanced ring reducer which can realize the balance of inertia force and inertia moment is brought forward, and so is its concrete realizing step. The specimen of the balanced ring reducer is designed and manufactured; the experiment is carried out on the gear transmission test bench. Compared with other ring reducer of the same power, the balanced ring reducer has many advantages, such as low vibration noise, low cost and less production difficulty and less heat. It is the substitute of other ring reducer of the same kind. Therefore, it has important theoretic significance and highly practical engineering value.
A CAD/CAE system of the ring-type planetary reducer with small tooth number difference is presented. It is a parameterized CAD/CAE system adopting the object-oriented technique and comprising in itself the geometric feature database (including the modules of ring-plates with inner teeth, eccentric shaft modules and output shaft modules), standard component database and material database. In comparison with design by handwork , this computer aided design and analysis system has the advantages of improved quality, shortened design period and reduced cost. The reliability of the system has been verified by a illustrative example.
