Abstract
A wind turbine transmission includes a high-speed spur gear stage which includes a HSS spur gear and an HSS pinion meshing therewith on a HSS pinion shaft. The HSS spur gear is directly mounted in a transmission housing of the wind turbine transmission. A sun gear shaft of a transmission stage, which is mounted upstream of the high-speed spur gear stage, is directly coupled to the HSS spur gear.
Claims10
A wind turbine transmission, comprising:
- a transmission housing having a rotor side and a generator side;
- a carrier element connected to the generator side of the transmission housing and comprising a circumferential web projecting axially away from the generator side toward the rotor side;
- a high-speed spur gear stage directly mounted in the transmission housing and comprising an HSS (High Speed Stage) spur gear having an outer circumference carrying a ring gear meshing with an HSS pinion shaft and an interior generator-side circumferential recess in which the web projects, and a bearing arranged between an inner circumference of the ring gear and the web, said HSS spur gear having a rotor-side hub configured to engage with a coupling connecting the HSS spur gear with an intermediate-stage (IMS) sun gear shaft arranged upstream of the high-speed spur gear stage.
