AIR COOLED VIBRATOR Filed April 20. 1961 INVEN TOR. E. F. PETERSON BY w- ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,177,731 AIR (IQOLED VZIBRATOR Edwin E. Peterson, Martin Eng. Co, Neponset, lill. Filed Apr. 20, 1961, Ser. No. 104,335 18 Claims. (Cl. 74-87) This invention relates to a vibrator and more particularly to improvements in a vibrator mechanism whereby the internal parts are cooled by air streams induced or created by rotating parts of the mechanism.
Those versed in the art are familiar with the aims, functions and purposes of vibrator mechanisms in expediting the movement of fluent material in the material-handling field, and from this it will be appreciated that these mechanisms are subjected to relatively heavy duty service over considerable periods of time. At the same time, it is quite frequently desirable that the vibrator be portable so that it may be moved from object to object or container to container, and for this reason it must be easily handled, which means that its structure must involve a substantial high strength-to-weight ratio. It has been found that the most frequent failures in vibrator mechanisms are those arising from destruction of the bearings and other parts by high temperatures and accordingly it is a principal object of the present invention to provide an improved vibrator mechanism in which means is provided for reducing temperatures to a tolerable level. It is a significant object of the invention to accomplish this by utilizing the rotor or eccentric, together with additional air moving means, for inducing currents of air to flow over the bearings and out of the casing in which the rotor is housed. A still further object is to utilize this air moving means in conjunction with a drive means mounted on and operative to drive the rotor or eccentric. It is a still further object to provide improved mounting means for the drive means and to utilize the bearings for the rotor shaft to provide a substantial portion of the support for the drive shaft, thereby simplifying the construction of the drive means by eliminating at least one of the bearings that would normally be provided therefor. Subsidiary objects reside in the specific design of the several components which cooperate in providing the improved vibrator.
The foregoing and other important objects and desirable features inherent in and encompassed by the invention will become apparent to those versed in the art as a preferred embodiment thereof is disclosed, by way of example, in the ensuing description and accompanying sheet of drawings, the figures of which are described below.
FIGURE 1 is a sectional view, with portions broken away and other portions shown in elevation, illustrating a typical construction involving the salient features of l the invention.
FIGURE 2 is an end view, partly in section, and drawn to a reduced scale, as seen from the left-hand end of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 3 is an elevation of the bearing ring for the bearing at the left-hand side of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 4 is an elevation of the bearing ring closure for the bearing ring of FIGURE 3, as seen from the right The vibrator itself comprises basically wall means making up a casing having first and second spaced apart and generally parallel side walls 11 and 12 which are cross connected by a peripheral wall 13, the upper porice tion of which is provided with an air outlet opening 14 covered by a screen 15 which is in turn covered by a protective grille 16. The screen 15 protects the interior of the casing against the entrance of dirt and other foreign material and the grille in turn protects the screen against damage from contact with heavy objects.
The wall means embodies relatively high-strength lowweight steel and may be constructed in any suitable manner to assume the shape illustrated; although, other shapes may be utiiized. In the present instance, the peripheral wall means continues at the bottom or under side of the casing to aiford a base 17 on which is provided means for mounting the vibrator on an object or container to be vibrated. The mounting means here takes the form of a pair of blocks is rigidly secured to the Wall means as by welding at 19. Each block is bifurcated so as to provide a pair of opposed legs 2i which provide between them a space for receiving a flange or rib on the object to be vibrated. The spaces between the legs of the two blocks are of course alined in the median plane of the casing In.
An improved mounting arrangement is illustrated, which exploits the fact that when the two legs are clamped in position, they will tend to spread apart to a limited extent. Therefore, the mounting set screws 21 are arranged on non-parallel or outwardly divergent axes, the arrangement being such that when the two legs 20 spread as the set screws 21 are tightened, the axes of the set screws will ultimately become coaxial. A further improvement in this respect is that each set screw 21 is carried by a relatively hard steel insert 22, which is internally threaded at 2.3 to receive the respective set screw and which is externally threaded at 24- to be received in a correspondingly threaded tapped bore, which in the present case is preferably tapered so that the insert may take the form of a standard pipe plug. When a set screw or insert wears because of use, it may be readily replaced.
The first wall 11 of the casing has therein a circular central aperture 25 in which is received a bearing-mounting ring 26, which may be welded in place about its periphery. The ring in turn carries an annular bearing 27, which may be of any conventional antifrict-ion construction. This bearing is coaxial with a bearing 28 carried by the second side wall 12 by means of a second ring 29 received in an aperture 30 in the second wall. The axis on which the coaxially spaced bearings 27 and 23 are located is of course transverse or normal to the planes of the Walls 11 and 12. The ring 29 may be secured in place by any suitable means, not material here. shaft 31 which has first and second ends 32 and 33, respectively, axially exposed through the centers of the respective bearings 27 and 28. A cap or outer element 34 is mounted externally of the wall. ill in radially overlapping relation to the ring 26, bearing 27 and shaft end 32. This element is preferably circular (FIGURE 4) and is secured in place by cap screws 35 which pass through apertures 36 in the element 34 and into tapped bores 3'7 in the ring 26. The inner face of the element 34 is provided with a plurality of uniformly circum ferentially or annularly spaced spacers or bosses 38, each in the area of a bolt hole 36. This provides at the inner face of the element 34 a plurality of arcuately shaped spaces 39 which register respectively with sets of openings 4% in the annulus of the ring 26. Therefore, the spaces 39 and openings 40 provide a plurality of air inlet openings leading to the interior of the casing. These air inlets are in surrounding relationship to the bearing 27 and in relatively close proximity thereto. At the same time, the element 34 locates the bearing 27 These bearings coaxially journal a hollow rotor' against. outward displacement and also protects the end 32 of the shaft 31.
The shaft 31 serves to carry, within the casing lift and between the bearings 27 and 28, a rotor designated in its entirety by the numeral 41, the hub of which spaces the bearings 27 and 28 apart. A snap ring 4-2 locates the outer race ring of the second or right-hand bearing 28. The rotor 41 in this case is of novel construction, in that it combines a weight portion and air moving means. In the present instance, the rotor is of integral cast construction and the weight portion, which is eccentric to the shaft axis, is shown at 43 and the air moving means comprise a plurality of radial arms in the form of vanes or blades. Two of the vanes, as at 44, are formed integrally at angular extremes of the weight portion 43 and two additional vanes, as at 45, are diametrically opposed to the vanes 44. In other words, the weight 43 is located between a pair of neighboring vanes (here 44).
The purpose of the eccentrically located weight is of course to establish vibratory forces as the rotor 41 rotates within the casing, the casing being of course secured to an object to be vibrated and rotation being imparted to the rotor by suitable means, a representative example of which will be described subsequently. At the same time, the air moving means as represented by the vanes 44 and 45 will create a current of air which enters the interior of the casing at the left-hand side thereof via the inlets or passage means established at 39-46, this air exiting through the peripheral wall screened outlet 14. As the cool air is drawn in through the passage means 39-443 it is of course flowing proximate to the peripheral ring of the bearing 27, thereby effecting a reduction in temperature of this bearing. In addition to the outlet at 14, the peripheral wall 13 may be provided with additional outlets as at 46 (FIGURE 2).
Additional movement of air through the right-hand side of the casing isaccomplished by the provision in the right hand wall 12 of a plurality of air inlet openings 47, which openings are preferably arranged in a circle radially outwardly of the right-hand or second bearing ring 29. Air drawn inwardly through these openings enters the casing to cool the bearing 2% and to exit through the casing outlets 14 and 46. The movement of air is represented by the arrows in FIGURE 1. Since the openings 47 and 39-4t) are radially inwardly of the outlets 14 and 46, the low pressure area in the casing will exist in proximity to the shaft and rotor, thereby ciliciently effecting a reduction in temperature of the bearimproved mounting for drive means for rotating the rotor 41 and to utilize in this conjunction the already described air moving means associated with additional means for cooling not only the bearings 27 and 28 but also the internal parts of the drive means.
For purposes of representative illustration, there is shown, as the drive means, an electric motor, including a cylindrical housing 48, a right-hand outer end cap 49, a remote bearing 50, an armature 51, a field at 52. and a drive shaft at 53. The end cap 4 is centrally formed to receive the bearing 59 which in turn journals the remote or outer end of the drive shaft 53. The shaft 323. for the rotor, being hollow, telescopically receives the left-hand end of the drive shaft 53 and the two are appropriately interconnected for rotation in unison as via a driving key 54. A snap ring 55' is used at the righthand end of the rotor shaft for locating the inner race ring of the bearing 23. One advantage of this construction is that there may be omitted from the motor an inner bearing that would normally be provided adjacent to the left-hand end of the shaft 53, and instead the shaft 53 is carried solely by the rotor shaft and the outer or remote bearing f the end cap 49 being located relative to the housing 4-3 in a coaxially or concentric manner which is facilitated by the provision of an intervening cup-shaped mounting member 56 for mounting the drive means on the right-hand side wall of the casing 19.
The mounting member 56 has an annular rim or flange 57 and a radial outer wall 53 which is provided with a central relatively large circular aperture or opening 59. A spacer ring of is interposed between the outer surface of the side wall 12 and the inner surface of the member rim 5'7 and the mounting member 56 is rigidly secured to the side wall via thespacer 60 and a pluralityof cap screws 61. The ring 6%) may be peripherally welded or otherwise rigidly secured to the side wall 12, which thus enables the ring to provide not only the tapped bores for the cap screws 61 but also to provide reinforcement for the wall 12. The outer wall 58 of the member 56 may be thickened at circumferentially spaced intervals, as at 62, and these portions have tapped bores therein which receive relatively long screws 63 for securing the end cap 49 in place with the housing 48 axially compressed between the end cap and the mount 56. In a preferred construction, it is desirable to provide an arrangement of this typeso that when the cap screws 63 are removed, the end cap 49 and housing may be removed to expose the drive shaft and its armature.
To provide for the circulation of cooling air through the housing 48 and over the bearing 50' as well as over the armature 51 and field 52, the housing 48 is peripherally cut out at a plurality of portions thereof, one of which is illustrated at 64. This thus provides the housing with an air inlet opening in each area in which it is cut out as described.
From the description thus far, it will be seen that cooling air can be taken in through the housing inlets 64, will flow along the armature and shaft 53 and will be drawn into the interior of the casing via the wall openings 47 as the rotor 41 rotates. To further augment or expedite the flow of air, the cup-like member 56 is so constructed as to provide a chamber 65 which has such radial dimension as to radially overlap and communicate with the Wall openings 47 through the interior of the spacer ring 60. The circular opening 59 in the wall 58 of the member 56 is approximately the same diameter as the bearing ring 29, which is by way of illustrating that this opening is substantially large as compared with the diameter of the shaft 53 in that area. Additional air moving means in the form of a fan 66 is carried by the drive shaft 53 within the chamber 65. The outside diameter of the fan means or impeller is slightly less than the inside diameter of the circular opening 59. The construction of the impeller is such that it has a left-hand radial wall 67 which lies closely proximate to the associated face of the bearing ring 29, and in addition it has an outer ring-like wall 68 which lies in the plane of the outer wall 58 of the cup-like member 56. The impeller walls 67 and 68 are spaced apart by a plurality of radial, uniformly circumferentially spaced vanes 69. Because of the dimensional relationships just described, the incoming air is caused to be expelled radially within the chamber so as to flow thence through the wall openings 47 to the interior of the casing 10. There will be very little, if any, leakage around the ring-like wall 68 and between the wall 67 and bearing 29.
Because the motor housing air inlets 64 are quite large,
it is desirable to provide some form of means for screening these inlets against the entrance of dirt and other foreign material. For this purpose, there is provided about the motor housing an annular fabric screen or filter 79, such as a sleeve provided at each of its opposite ends with an elastic band '71. These bands are received respectively in grooves in the member 56 and end cap 49.
It will be seen from the foregoing description that a novel and improved vibrator mechanism has been provided, one in which the interior rotating part is utilized to create a flow of cooling air over the bearings for the rotor, as well as over the bearing or bearings for drive means inlet opening.
, associated with the vibrator. It will be further seen that the improved arrangement incorporates a novel mounting for the drive means as well as novel and improved means for augmenting the circulation of cooling air. Features and advantages other than those enumerated will readily occur to those versed in the art, as will many modifications in the preferred embodiment disclosed, all of which may be achieved without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.
