Introduction

O Fire tanker is the main weapon of fire fighting and disaster relief, rescuing
O The power take off is used to transmit output power of the engine to the fire apparatus.
O Function of the power take off affects the whole fire engine performance.
O Powder metallurgy gear has low manufacturing cost, high precision, better wear resistance, and fatigue
resistance, good resistance to high temperature and corrosion resistance than common alloy gears.
O Finite element method is used on analysis of the characteristic of the transmission gear.

Fire tanker power take-off mode

O Power take off is a power transmission device through gear.

O According to the installation position and the role, fire vehicle power take-
off power mode is roughly divided into five categories:
Forcing from transmission cover,
Transmission countershaft of power,
Taking full power
Forcing from driving shaft
Lateral forcing.
Principle:

the force taken directly from the
transmission shaft, and the input
shaft directly
outputting the first power source to
the vehicle transmission, at the same
time the axis through an intermediate
gear drives the output shaft to rotate
and output power to second fire
apparatus. This form of force taking Taking full power
device has the advantage of
lubrication convenient, full
power output , high transmission efficiency and easy realization of fire
vehicle double function, can realize the edge
running edge water-jet, applicable to large tonnage tank fire engine
and mixed-type firefighting vehicle
Powder metallurgy helical gear performance and finite
element analysis

Experimental study on transmission efficiency

Conclusion:
O Fire tanker power take-off performance depends on the gear
transmission performance.
O The possible resonance frequency mode has been calculated to
provide reference for optimization design.
O Transmission efficiency test has proved that the powder metallurgy
helical gear is a kind of high performance gear. In the same
condition, its efficiency 14% more than that of the alloy helical gear
and the maximum transmission efficiency can be over 99%.
O It has more stable transmission, longer service life, enhances the
power performance.
