Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a drive mechanism and, more particularly, to a drive mechanism in which the means for driving and means for blocking rotation of the mechanism are oriented perpendicular to the element upon which they act.
- In drive mechanisms it is often desirable to minimize dimensions of the mechanisms in order to make maximum use of space limited mounting locations. For example, a drive mechanism is commonly mounted within a drum or roller of a compactor to rotate the drum. In a vibratory compactor, a vibrating mechanism is also positioned within the drum to impart vibratory forces to the drum. Such a vibratory compactor is illustrated in U.S. Patent 4,108,009 which issued to Fuchigami on August 22, 1978. If both the drive and vibrating mechanisms are utilized, the amount of space within the drum can become very limited. It is not uncommon, ,.therefore, to mount a hydraulic motor, which provides the rotational input to the drive mechanism, outside of the drum. Such a mounting arrangement is shown in U.S. Patent 3,741,669 which issued on June 26, 1973 to Harris. In certain work environments, such a mounting arrangement can subject the exteriorly mounted components to damage from, for example, contacting obstructions in turning the associated vehicle.
- Also contributing to the space limitations inside a drum is the problem of obtaining the most desirable final rotational speed of the drum relative to the input of the motor. This sometimes can require numerous sets of gears in the drive mechanism to change the speed of the rotational input. Use of a plurality of gear sets to change speeds particularly affects the width of a drive mechanism which can further limit the space available inside the drum for mounting the vibratory drive mechanism.
- The present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems as set forth above.
- In one aspect of the present invention, apparatus includes a frame, a driven member, and a first element rotatable relative to the frame. A driving element is mounted on and rotatable with the first element about an axis of rotation of said first element. Means are provided for engaging and rotating the driving element and for engaging and blocking from rotation said driving element. Said means each define an axis of rotation oriented at a location perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the first element. Final drive means is provided for transferring rotational motion from the first element to the driven member.
- The apparatus is used, for example, within a drum of a vibratory compactor for rotating the drum. The orientation of the engaging and rotating means and the engaging and blocking means reduces the width of the apparatus to provide more space within the drum for other components and to eliminate the necessity of mounting elements outside the drum where they could be damaged.

- Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view in elevation showing a vibratory compactor, such as is pulled by a vehicle, incorporating one embodiment of the present invention; and
- Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic, cross-sectional view in partial elevation of a portion of the compactor and showing the present invention.
- Referring to the drawing,
apparatus 10 is shown, for example, associated with avibratory compactor 12 which includes a driven member or drum 14-and ayoke 16 which is a portion of aframe 18. The apparatus is a right angle drive mechanism which receives a power input from an associated vehicle (not shown) and subsequently drives the drum at a desired rotational speed. The compactor is connected to the vehicle by the frame at apivot point 19. Also positioned in the drum adjacent the drive mechanism is a vibratory mechanism (not shown) which receives a power input from the vehicle and typically creates an unbalanced rotational output for establishing vibratory forces on the drum. Vibratory compactors are. well known in the compacting art and are commonly used in land fill or construction operations which require compacting the earth, fill material or road surfacing material to specific densities. - The
drive mechanism 10 has a first element orshaft 20 rotatable relative to theyoke 16 onbearings 24 and accessible through removal of aplate 25. The shaft is rotatable about its axis ofrotation 26•which is substantially the same as the centerline or axis ofrotation 28 of the drum about which theframe 18 connects to said drum. Mounted on the shaft through splines is adriving element 30 directly supported by thebearings 24 and shown including abevel gear 32, which is rotatable with the shaft about its axis of rotation. First means 34 is provided for engaging and rotating the driving element andsecond means 36 is provided for engaging and controllably blocking from rotation, or braking the rotation of, the driving element. The first means includes a first pinion gear 38 postioned in engagement with a bevel gear power means 40, such as a hydraulic motor. The second means includes abrake 42 and a second pinion gear 44 rotationally associated with the brake and positioned in engagement with the bevel gear. Each of said means defines an axis ofrotation rotation 26 of the shaft. Preferably, and as is shown, said axes are substantially the same such that the pinion gears drive the shaft on opposite sides of the shaft. - Referring specifically to the configuration of the pinion gears 38,44 and their associated elements, each of the pinion gears includes a
shaft portion 50',50" having the related axis ofrotation yoke 16 bybearings 52',52". The shaft portion 50' of the first pinion gear 38 extends toward and is rotatably connected to thehydraulic motor 40 bycoupling 152. The shaft portion 50" of the second pinion gear 44 extends to thebrake 42 which has a friction 54 and areaction 56 disc (shown as a plurality). One set of said discs, shown as the reaction discs, is fixed from rotation relative to the frame through asplined connection 58 with the frame. The other set of said discs, shown as the friction discs, is rotatable with the second pinion gear also through asplined connection 60,. The discs are normally frictionally engaged one with the other owing to the biasing force of frusto-conical washers 62. Apiston assembly 64 is hydraulically actuatable to controllably release the brake by overcoming the force of the washers. Such brake operation is well known, particularly in the work vehicle art. - Acting at the opposite end of the
shaft 20, final drive means 66 transfers rotational motion from the shaft to thedrum 14 in order to drive the drum. The final drive means, shown as a planetary gear assembly 68, includes first and secondmotion transfer elements sun element 74 of the planetary gear assembly shown carried on the shaft, is rotatable with said shaft. The second transfer element, shown as acarrier element 76 of the planetary gear assembly, is rotatable with the drum owing to its connection with said drum. The planetary gear assembly also includes aplanet element 78 and aring element 80 which is fixed from rotation relative to theyoke 16 through asplined connection 82. It should be understood that the ring element can also be connected to the drum with the carrier element fixed relative to the frame. Such planetary gear assemblies are well known in the art and are commonly used for providing a speed reducing or increasing function on a drive mechanism through the drive ratio established by the relationship of the teeth on the sun, planet and ring elements. - In the use of the
drive mechanism 10, thebrake discs 54,56 are released from frictional engagement by actuating thepiston assembly 64 and thehydraulic motor 40 is actuated to rotate the first pinion gear 38 and drive theshaft 20 through thebevel gear 32. The rotating shaft causes thesun element 74 to rotate which results in driving thedrum 14 with therotating carrier element 76. The ratio of thebevel 32 and pinion 38,44 gears and theelements - Where desired, the
drum 14 can be slowed or entirely braked by frictionally engaging the friction andreaction discs 54,56 of thebrake 42. This is accomplished by decreasing or eliminating the fluid pressure in thepiston assembly 64 acting to overcome the biasing force of the frusto-conical washers 62 which, during operation, is usually maintained at sufficient magnitude to overcome the biasing force of the washers that otherwise acts to move the discs into frictional engagement. - As will be seen from the drawing, the
drive mechanism 10 presents a compact and space efficient apparatus owing to its "right angle" drive arrangement derived from the relationship of thebevel 32 and pinion 38,44 gears. Theshaft 20, bevel gear, pinion gears,hydraulic motor 40,brake 42 and planetary gear assembly 68 are all located within thedrum 14. This eliminates the need to position elements externally of the drum, such as on theframe 18, where they might be damaged in the work environment. The width of the drive mechanism is reduced owing to the "right angle" arrangement of themotor 40 andbrake 42 and the use of the single planetary gear assembly 68 for the final drive. This results in additional space within the drum for mounting the vibration mechanism which imparts the vibratory forces to the drum. Further, removal of theplate 25, allows removal of theshaft 20 from its splined connections to permit towing of the compactor.12 without damage to the motors therein if a breakdown does occur. - Other aspects, objects and advantages will become apparent from a study of the specification, drawings and appended claims.
