PURPOSE:To provide variability for the revolving speed of an outside propeller shaft relative to that of an inside propeller shaft when the torque of a main engine is to be transmitted to the inner and outer propeller shafts via a differential planetary gearing device so that their rotating directions are opposite. CONSTITUTION:The torque of a main engine E is transmitted to an inside propeller shaft 25 via a planetary carrier 9, which bears rotatably a planet gear 6 meshing with No.1 sun gear 4 and also is transmitted to an outside propeller shaft 21 via an internally cogged gear 5 which is rotated oppositely to the planetary carrier 9. Therein the internally cogged gear 5 and outside propeller shaft 21 are not coupled directly, but a revolving speed adjusting gear device 12 is interposed between them. The revolving speed of the outside propeller shaft 21 can be made equal to or sunk below that of the inside propeller shaft 25 by varying the diametric ratio of planet gears 15, 16, which are mounted on concentrical shaft of consolidated type of this adjusting gear device 12.

In the conventional device, since the internal gear e and the outer propeller shaft i are directly connected to each other, the torque of the internal gear e and the torque of the planetary gear d cannot be the same. When the ratio of the number of teeth to the gear tooth e is 1: 5, the torque ratio between the internal gear e and the planetary gear d is 5: 6. Moreover, the rotation speed of the outer propeller shaft h directly connected to the internal gear e cannot be arbitrarily changed with respect to the rotation speed of the inner propeller shaft g integrated with the planetary carrier f. Therefore, even if the conventional motor a is used as a diesel main engine and the system of FIG. 6 is used for driving a marine contra-rotating propeller, the functions of the above three formulas are satisfied.
Since the characteristics are determined, there is a problem that the counter-rotating propeller cannot be optimally designed and high propulsion performance cannot be obtained.

As described above, according to the marine counter-rotating propeller driving differential planetary gear device of the present invention, the rotational speed of the planetary carrier for directly transmitting the rotational force from the main engine to the inner propeller shaft side can be achieved. On the other hand, a rotation speed adjusting gear device for equalizing or lowering the rotation speed of the internal gear that rotates in the opposite direction to this and transmitting it to the outer propeller shaft side is provided. Is a second sun gear mounted on the shaft of the internal gear, a planetary gear that meshes with the second sun gear, and the planetary gear has a different diameter and is integrated on a concentric shaft. Planetary gear,
Since the third sun gear has a shaft that meshes with the planetary gear and is connected to the outer propeller shaft, conventionally, the rotation speed of the internal gear becomes the rotation speed of the outer propeller shaft, It was not possible to change the rotation speed of the propeller shaft with respect to the rotation speed of the inner propeller shaft.
In the present invention, by appropriately selecting the diameter ratio of the two planetary gears on the integral concentric shaft that meshes with the second and third sun gears, the rotation of the outer propeller shaft relative to the rotation speed of the inner propeller shaft can be changed. The number of rotations of the counter-rotating propeller can be selected by equalizing or lowering the number, and the counter-rotating propeller can be driven under optimum conditions to achieve high propulsion performance. The sun gear and planetary gear interposed between the outer propeller shaft and the outer propeller shaft can have a small diameter ratio, and even if the diameter is reduced, the rotational force can be transmitted to the outer propeller shaft and the performance of the counter-rotating propeller can be achieved. Therefore, it is possible to achieve an excellent effect such that a differential gear device for driving a large horsepower counter-rotating propeller can be easily mounted on a stern of a slender ship such as a container ship.
