Abstract
Abstract This invention involves a gear transmission mechanism and its device which incorporate double cycloidal equidistant conjugated gear mechanisms and devices, featuring in that a whole branch cyclic cycloidal equidistant curve at a side of the center of curvature of that cycloid is applied with the value of equidistance equal to or smaller than the radius of the rolling circle as the original tooth profile and thus conjugated mutually enveloping cycloidal equidistant curved gear mechanisms with one-tooth-difference, zero-tooth-difference or multi-tooth-difference can be made according to the requirement. Motor pumps and reducers made according to these mechanisms have the advantages of smaller sliding coefficient, smaller pressure angle, greater speed ratio range, lower noise, better strength, higher efficiency, more convenience in machining and lower cost. Therefore these mechanisms can be used to effectively replace the cycloidal lantern gearing with promising development of novel gear transmissions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
A cycloidal equidistant curved gear transmission mechanism including at least a pair of gears, each gear having a tooth profile, said pair of gears comprising a first gear having teeth generated by an equidistant curve of a whole branch cyclic cycloid-type located at a side of a center of curvature of that cycloid, and a second gear having teeth which matingly engage with said teeth of said first gear, with a rolling circle of each said first and second gears being of the same diameter, the epicycloidal gears being inner equidistant curves and the hypocycloidal gears being the external equidistant curves, wherein in external meshing, said first gear is an epicycloidal inner-equidistant curved gear and said second gear is a hypocycloidal outer-equidistant curved gear and said first and second gears are conjugated with each other; and wherein in internal meshing said first gear is an epicycloidal inner-equidistant curved gear and said second gear is a hypocycloidal outer-equidistant curved gear and said first and second gears are respectively conjugated with each other, and in internal and external meshing, the difference of the number of teeth of said first and second gears is greater than or equal to unity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
