Zorluk: OrtaClutches and Transmissions

In an automatic transmission's simple planetary gearset, the planet pinion carrier is held stationary while the central sun gear is driven as the input member. Under these operating conditions, what mechanical output is produced at the outer ring gear?

  1. A
    It rotates in the same direction as the sun gear at an increased rotational speed.
  2. B
    It locks solid against the planetary carrier to produce a direct 1:1 drive ratio.
  3. It rotates in the opposite direction of the sun gear at a reduced rotational speed.Cevap
  4. D
    It oscillates without transferring rotary torque to the transmission output shaft.

Cevap

The ring gear rotates in the opposite direction of the sun gear at a reduced rotational speed, providing reverse gear reduction.
When the planet carrier is held stationary by a band or clutch and the sun gear is driven, the planet pinions rotate on fixed shafts like standard idler gears. This external mesh reverses the direction of rotation when transferring drive to the internally toothed ring gear. Because the ring gear has significantly more teeth than the sun gear, the ring gear turns at a lower rotational speed with multiplied torque, creating reverse reduction.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the stationary reaction member
The planet pinion carrier is held stationary relative to the transmission case.
Holding the carrier locks the centers of the planet pinions in fixed positions in space.
2
Determine the direction of rotation
The planet pinions act as stationary idler gears, rotating in the opposite direction of the sun gear and driving the internal teeth of the ring gear in that same reversed direction.
External gear mesh between the sun gear and planet pinions reverses rotational direction.
3
Evaluate the gear ratio and speed relationship
Output speed at the ring gear is reduced because the ring gear has more teeth than the input sun gear.
The gear ratio is determined by the ratio of ring gear teeth to sun gear teeth (−NsunNring-\frac{N_{sun}}{N_{ring}}), yielding a reverse gear reduction.
