This paper focus on the meshing efficiency of 2K-2H type planetary gear reducer. First, according to the concept of train value equation, the kinematic design of 2K-2H type planetary gear reducers is carried out. Then, based on the latent power theorem, the meshing efficiency equation of 2K-2H type planetary gear reducer is derived. According to the meshing efficiency equation, the meshing efficiency of 2K-2H type planetary gear reducer can be analyzed. The 2K-2H type planetary gear reducer has the following characteristics: 1. There is a problem of power circulation, 2.Larger reduction ratio makes less meshing efficiency, 3.For the same reduction ratio, larger value |ξ42| (|ξα|) will get better meshing efficiency, and 4.The better quality of gears (manufactured by grinding) will produce much better meshing efficiency.

The power system equipped in machinery contains power source (motor or engine) and gear reducer to get large output torque. The rotation speed of motor is made higher and higher to obtain high power with the same volume. Hence, the reduction ratio of gear reducer is required to be higher and higher. Planetary gear trains can be used as the gear reducers with high reduction ratio. However, the planetary gear train with high reduction ratio is compound gear system. The purpose of this paper is to propose 2K-2H type planetary gear reducers with high reduction ratio. Based on the concept of train value equation, we propose a new representation to present the kinematic relationship of the members of the train circuit. According to this representation graph, we propose an algorithm for the kinematic design of planetary simple gear trains with high reduction ratio. Some 2K-2H type planetary gear reducers are designed to illustrate the design algorithm.

Planetary gear trains can be used as the gear reducers with high reduction ratio. This paper focused on the kinematic and meshing efficiency analysis of planetary simple gear reducer with two ring gears. First, the planetary simple gear train with two ring gears is proposed by using different shift coefficients. Then, by referring to the train value equation, the reduction-ratio equation is derived for the design the planetary gear reducer with two ring gears. According to reduction-ratio equation, the planetary gear reducers with two ring gears and having reduction ratios (20, 50, and 100) are synthesized. Then, based on the latent power theorem, the meshing efficiency equation of planetary gear train with two ring gears is derived. According to the meshing efficiency equation, the meshing efficiencies of planetary gear trains with two ring gears are analyzed. In this paper, we conclude: (1) Larger reduction ratio makes less meshing efficiency, and (2) The meshing efficiency of planetary gear reducer with two ring gears is not good.

3K type and 2K-2H type planetary gear trains can be designed to have high reduction ratios. Due to the reason of power circulation, these two kinds of planetary gear trains with high reduction ratios have low meshing efficiencies. The 2K type planetary gear reducer only contain two ring gears and one carrier, hence it will not have the problem of power circulation and will have better meshing efficiency than 3K type and 2K-2H type planetary gear reducers. Also, in general, the gear reducers with high reduction ratio are compound gear system. The purpose of this paper is to propose 2K type planetary simple gear reducers with high reduction ratios. Based on the concept of train value equation, the kinematic design of 2K type planetary gear trains with high reduction ratio are synthesized. Six 2K type planetary gear reducers are designed to illustrate the kinematic design process. Three of the examples are 2K type planetary gear reducers with simple planet gears. For the 2K type planetary simple gear reducer, there is a problem that is the simple planet gear engages to two ring gears with different tooth number. One example is used to illustrate how to design the two ring gears with different shift coefficient to engage the same planet gear. Based on the proposed process, all 2K type planetary simple gear reducers with high reduction ratios can be synthesized.

AbstractThis study analyzes the efficiency of the road production by local governments using data envelopment analysis. The production of roads is a costly public service, which makes an efficiency analysis in this field an interesting subject. I enhance the previous literature, first, by examining the differences in the efficiencies of eastern German counties while considering the deformation of the pavement and foundation of roads, which previous studies have not included due to data limitations. Second, I use a unique dataset on road quality for my efficiency analysis and show that the efficiency levels differ from those in studies that apply proxies, such as the number of accidents, to capture the quality of roads. These findings indicate that there is a great need to develop reliable variables to describe government services. Additionally, I show that the correlations between efficiency levels and county characteristics vary greatly depending on the quality indicator used.
