Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for driving a wobble body according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device for generating a wobbling movement is described. This consists of a body which the inventor Paul Schatz calls an "oloid" in his book “Rhythm Research and Technology” (Stuttgart 1975). According to CH-Al 500,000, this oloid is driven by an endless belt on which the oloid is placed. In practice, this drive has not been able to assert itself, since on the one hand this presupposes an ideal manufacturing accuracy of the oloid and on the other hand no slippage must occur when the oloid is rolled on the belt.
  • FIG. 3a, b an illustration of the device according to the invention in two views
  • FIG. 4a a first embodiment of part of the device
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the drive and guide device according to the invention in a front view
  • FIG. 6 shows the embodiment of FIG. 5 in a side view
  • FIG. 7d shows a fifth exemplary embodiment of a guide device
  • FIGS. 3a, b shows a variant of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 3a, b.
  • An oloid - in the sense of Paul Schatz - is, among other possibilities, defined as that body that arises as rolling elements of two identical circles K., K 2 , which, lying in mutually perpendicular planes E, E, - penetrate each other in such a way that the periphery of the one through the zen strum of the other goes, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • ellipses can also replace circles.
  • FIG. 2 shows the development 1 of an oloid that is generated from two circles. If such an oloid is placed on a plane, it always has a straight line of contact 2 with it. In Fig. 2, some such lines of contact 2 are shown representative. Among these contact lines 2 there are four marked lines, which are referred to here as tangent lines 4; there are those lines of contact 2 which lie in the planes E, E. Where the tangent lines 4 touch the circles K, K, there are tangent points 3. In the development according to FIG. 2, the tangent points 3 appear as the deepest points of incisions 5.
  • This strip 6 does not lead over an edge of the oloid or over one of the circular lines K, K, has a flat development and is delimited in a straight line.
  • FIGS. 4a, b show the schematic representation of a first exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention.
  • a hollow body 7 shaped as an oloid as the first exemplary embodiment of an oloid tumbler body lies on two free-running conveyor belts 8.
  • the conveyor belt 8 facing the viewer is not shown in FIG. 3b.
  • Around the hollow body 8 run - within the strip 6 designated in FIG. 2 - two profiles 9, which are shown in detail in FIGS. 4a, b, c.
  • a strip 10 to which the profiles 9 are fastened on the one hand, and which on the other hand is suitably designed for the positive reception of a drive means, such as a toothed belt, a flat belt or a drive chain is.
  • the strip 10 is fastened in the region of the strip 6 - according to FIG. 2 - on the wobble body, here on the hollow body 7.
  • a drive and guide unit 11 which is shown in detail in FIG. 5.
  • the profiles 9 stand vertically downward and parallel to the direction of travel of the conveyor belts 8.
  • the conveyor belts 8 each run over one Table 12 equipped with low friction and two rollers 13 each.
  • Table 12, rollers 13 and drive and guide assembly 11 are all attached to a frame 14 which is anchored in a foundation 15.
  • 4a, b, c show three exemplary embodiments of profiles 9 according to FIGS. 3a, b.
  • Numeral 16 denotes the wall of a hollow body 7. In Fig.
  • the profiles 9 each consist of a web 17, on which a tube 18 is welded, for example.
  • the web 17 can be made continuously or from individual bars.
  • the webs 17 each carry a transverse band 22, which is also welded to the web 17 over its entire length, for example.
  • the strip 10 lying between two low webs 23 is flat here for receiving a flat belt 24.
  • the webs 17 merge into a channel-shaped profile 25 - as in the left part of FIG. 4c - or, as a variant, into a profile 26 with two channels.
  • a welded connection between the web 17 and the profile 25 or 26 is provided.
  • the strip 10 contains essentially hemispherical recesses 27 for receiving a rosary chain 28. It is, of course, within the meaning of the invention to use any of the drive means shown in FIGS. 4a, b, c with any of the profiles 9 shown combine. The combinations shown as such are only exemplary.
  • the drive and guide assembly 11 contains the means for driving the hollow body 7 and those for guiding it by means of the profiles 9.
  • the drive means and the guide means are shown together in FIGS. 5 and 6; 7a, b, c, d, however, only the guide means.
  • Fig. 5 Shown in Fig. 5 is an embodiment of the guiding and Antriebsaggrega ⁇ tes 11 'based on the drawn in Fig. 4a Ausfer ⁇ the profiles approximately example 9.
  • the oloidische hollow body 7, only the wall 16 is shown from that lying on the two conveyor belts 8, which in turn are supported on the tables 12.
  • the profiles 9 that the Loop around the hollow body 7, dive between the conveyor belts 8.
  • the direction of movement of the profiles 9 - as shown - is always parallel to the direction of movement of the conveyor belts 8.
  • the profiles 9 also submerge the furthest below the level of the conveyor belts 8 from.
  • each tube 18 is guided between two rollers 29, 30, the four rollers 29, 30 being arranged essentially on a straight line.
  • Both pairs of rollers 29, 30 have a channel-shaped cross section corresponding to the tube 18; they can therefore transmit forces to the tube 18 both in the radial and in the axial direction (based on the rollers 29, 30).
  • the axes of the rollers 29 sit directly on the frame 14, while the axes of the rollers 30 are connected to the frame 14 via a hard suspension, for example via an angle piece 31.
  • a toothed belt 20 in a positive fit in the toothing 21. In the area shown, the toothed belt 20 runs with the smooth side over two U steering rollers 32 (only one is visible in FIG.
  • the axis 34 is fastened to the frame 14, for example, with adjusting screws 35.
  • the axes of the rollers 32 are - in a manner not shown - attached to the frame 14.
  • the deflection rollers 32 are on the one hand as close as possible to the strip 10, and on the other hand as close to each other as possible so that the points where the drive means detaches from the strip 10 come as close as possible to the lowest point of the strip 10.
  • FIG. 6. 5 The same device is drawn in a side view in FIG. 6. 5, one looks from the right at the device shown.
  • the right " web 17 is removed, as is the right tube 18. Only the right roller 30 is visible from the pairs of rollers 29, 30.
  • a flat belt 24 or a rosary chain 28 is also inventive, as already mentioned While, taking into account the peculiarities of these drive means, the type of drive is the same, the type of guidance of the profiles 9 differs depending on the profile, so FIGS. 7a, b, c, d show the individual embodiments of FIGS Profile 9 the associated management elements ment. Only one of the two profiles 9 is shown.
  • FIG. 7 shows a variant of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the hard-sprung roller 30 is opposed by two cylindrical rollers 36 with a slight offset.
  • the roller 30 takes on radial and axial forces, the rollers 36 only radial.
  • the axial spacing of the cylindrical rollers 36 is small, since the tangent direction of the tube 18 strictly runs parallel to the direction of the conveyor belts 8 (not shown) only in the region of the roller 30.
  • FIG. 7b There is only a single cylindrical roller 36 in each tube 18, which is attached to the inside of both profiles 9 or to the outside of both.
  • the spring action necessary for the construction tolerances is applied here by the webs 17.
  • FIG. 7c shows the guide interacting with the profile from FIG. 4b: a cylindrical roller 37 guides the web 17 in the lateral direction; a second, also cylindrical roller 38 guides the belt 22 with respect to its height.
  • the arrangement on the second profile 9 is mirror image so that the cornering forces counteract each other.
  • a roller 39 which is adapted to the hollow shape of the profile 25, engages in this and guides the profile 9 consisting of web 17 and profile 25 both radially and in the axial direction (based on the roller 39).
  • Two rollers 39 are provided for guiding the profile 9 according to the right side of FIG. 4c. 8 is a representation of a second embodiment of a wobble body and thus a variant of FIGS.
  • the wobble body is designed here as a skeleton body 66. This is made of partially bent rods 65 and exhibits the same rolling behavior as the hollow body 7. Its development is essentially the same as that shown in FIG. 2, with the difference that - strictly mathematically speaking - it always only two points on the flat surface.
  • the contact lines 2 drawn in FIG. 2 in this case are the connecting stretches of the two mentioned contact points, which are always only in the contour of the development shown in FIG. 2.
  • the skeleton body 66 carries, for example, a simply designed vessel 67, such as a commercially available chemical drum, which is gene 68 and tapes 69 is attached.
  • the strip 10 with the profiles 9 and the shaped elements for the positive reception of the drive means - for example the toothed belt 20 - is fastened to the partially curved rods 65. 8 correspond to those of FIGS. 3a, b, 5 and 6.
  • the rolling device which consists of two conveyor belts 8
  • the rolling device can also be designed with two roller carpets.

Abstract

Un oloïde creux oscillant (7) de réception de matières à mélanger repose sur deux bandes sans fin de transport (8) qui circulent librement. Un ruban (10) délimité par deux profils (9) est enroulé autour du corps creux (7) et assujetti à celui-ci. Le ruban (10) est relié par liaison de forme à un élément d'entraînement (non illustré) sous forme d'une bande continue. Les profils (9) pénètrent entre les bandes de transport (8) dans la zone d'un ensemble de guidage et d'entraînement (11) dans lequel sont disposés et rassemblés des éléments de guidage des profils (9) et d'entraînement de l'élément d'entraînement. Les bandes de transport (8) glissent sur des tables (12) pourvues d'un revêtement à frottement réduit et portées par un cadre (14) auquel l'ensemble de guidage et d'entraînement est également assujetti. Le cadre (14) repose sur une semelle (15). En roulant sur les bandes de transport (8), le corps creux (7) décrit un mouvement oscillant au cours duquel les profils (9) plongent le plus loin dans la zone de l'ensemble de guide et d'entraînement (11) et les tangentes des profils (9) à ces points les plus profonds s'étendent toujours dans le sens de déplacement des bandes de transport (8).
