Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with an improved design of self propelled vibratory roller which is side driven so that one side of the roll remains completely unobstructed.
  • the traction and the vibratory shaft drives are arranged at one side of the roller and means are provided supporting the roller so that the other side thereof is completely unobstructed, the means for supporting the roller at its unobstructed side comprising a cantilevered dead shaft supported on an end frame to extend through, and projecting beyond, a hollow vibratory shaft, on the end of which dead shaft is secured a resilient shear mounting device supporting the bearing for the roller shell, the bearing for the roller shell at the other side of the roller being carried by a resilient shear mounting device on the end frame, the roller shell being formed, at least at its unobstructed end, in such manner that the free end of the dead shaft and its associated supporting mechanism lie wholly or mainly within the roller shell.
  • the invention is more especially applicable to a roller in which the traction drive is by a chain and sprocket and in carrying out the invention, the driven sprocket, by which drive is transmitted from the power unit to the roll, is mounted on an axis, which lies between the perirneter of the roll shell and the axis thereof.
  • the driven sprocket of the chain and sprocket drive to the roller shell is fast on one end of a countershaft, which is journalled to rotate in a torque or bridge plate of annular form and mounted concentrically With respect to the roller shell axis, the other and inner end of the countershaft having fast thereon a spur pinion meshing with a toothed driving ring on the end plate of the roller shell.
  • the annular torque plate may be attached to the resiliently mounted bush in which a spigot mounting for the roller shell with the vibratory shaft are mounted to revolve.
  • the flange on the bush, to which the resilient shear mounting is united is extended radially outwards and the torque plate, which, in section, is of channel shape is formed in its inner limb with a radial flange by which it is rivetted to the fiange of the bush.
  • the roller Suspension at each preferably comprises an assembly each including two components having surfaces in a plane at right angles to the roller axis and interconnected Vby rubber-in-shear in which the innermost comr.
  • each end has a bush providing a bearing to receive a spigot on the roller end plate, the other components of each assembly being secured respectively to the end frame and the outer end of the dead shaft.
  • the torque plate may be supported from the machine frame through the intermediary of resilient blocks to provide for torque reaction, which is set up on transmission of drive to the roller shell when the roller is in operation and also to protect the main flexible mounting from excessive strain from this source.
  • the transmission drive both to the roller shell and to the vibratory shaft may be totally enclosed in an end frame of box construction.
  • a ring of resilient material e.g. rubber, is mounted on the outer end of the flanged bush of the resilient mounting so that in the event of excessive roll deflection it will engage a snubbing plate of larger diameter carried by the outer plate or flange of the flexible mounting attached to the main frame.

  • An arm H which may or may not be oflset, carries the steering handle and controls.
  • the main or end frame A is of box construction and includes inner and outer plates 1 and 2 in which are two openings, the upper opening 3 (normally closed by an inspection cover 3') giving access to the drive shafts from the gearbox, as hereinafter described, while the lower opening 4 is provided With a reinforcing fiange and has secured therein a pedestal bracket 5 mounting a dead shaft or cantilever 6.
  • the cantilever shaft 6 supports at its end a bearing support indicated at D and described in detail hereafter.
  • roller shell S is fitted with dished end plates 13, 13' which are fast with hub sentries 14, 14', the hub centre 14 having an inner recess 50 closed by a detachable cap ring to receive self-aligned bearings within which the vibratory shaft T is mounted to revolve.
  • the hub centre 14 includes an axially extending bearing fiange or spigot 15 which is machined to revolve freely within the associated bush 12 of the resilient mounting 10.
  • the vibratory shaft T is driven by a belt drive from a driving pulley 17 fast on one output shaft of the gearbox G and connected through a belt 18 to the end of the vibratory shaft T, which isV extended beyond the end of the roller shell S for this purpose.

  • the torque plate is also anchored to the main frame by means of a number of resilient connectors 41 consisting of studded (metal) end discs 42 bonded to a rubber centre, each stud 43 being threaded to enable the connector end studs to be bolted respectively to a flange 45 on the main casing and to the torque plate 25.
  • resilient connectors 41 consisting of studded (metal) end discs 42 bonded to a rubber centre, each stud 43 being threaded to enable the connector end studs to be bolted respectively to a flange 45 on the main casing and to the torque plate 25.
  • the connectors 41 function as torque members and their purpose is to absorb torque reactions which may become of some magnitude during changes from forward to reverse.
  • the connectors 41 would absorb such torque reaction leaving the main fiexible mounting free to accommodate static defiection only. This is particularly desirable in the case where the flexible mountings 10-10' are identical on both sides of the roller.

  • a bumper stop or snubbing device consisting of a rubber ring 40, is mounted on the outer end of the axial fiange of the bush inner component 11 of the resilient mounting for engagement with an aXial flange formed on the outer component 8 of said mounting.
  • a snubber or resilient ring 40 enables load in any direction to be withstood with equal ability and minimum stress and therefore damage is unlikely.
  • applicanfis roller is such that ingress of dirt or foreign matter is reduced to a minimum.
