Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vibratory tamping device incorporating a plurality of rollers as well as means for producing -vibratory pulses.
  • rollers-are Conventional tamping roller units incorporating a plurality of roller bodies-which roller bodies individually will for the sake of simplicity hereinafter be referred to Simply as rollers-are provided with a corresponding number of vibrators each associated with a respective roller.
  • the individual vibrators In order to obtain good tamping action from such roller units, the individual vibrators have to be interconnected with a suitable transmission so as to make certain that all of the vibrators will operate in synchronism with each other.
  • roller unit In one known type of roller unit, a contra-rotating vibrator, incorporating two unbalances, is arranged between the front and rear rollers, which vibrators, at each revolution of the two unbalances, imparts a downwardly directed pulse to both rollers simultaneously.
  • a contra-rotating vibrator incorporating two unbalances
  • the efficiency of this type of roller -unit is relatively low.
  • roller tamping unit which overcomes the above drawbacks, which unit is of simple construction, and which operates more eliiciently than heretofore known units.
  • the present invention resides in an arrangement in which the unbalance-type vibrator, which can either be a contra-rotating vibrator producing directional vibrations or a single unbalance vibrator pro ⁇ ducing non-directional vibrations, forms a rigid unit with the rollers, the arrangement being such that, in the course of a revolution of 360, the two rollers which are arranged one behind the other are successively given ⁇ one downwardly directed pulse each.
  • roller unit according to the present invention does not require any synchronizing transmission between separate vibrators associated with the respective rollers, nor does it require any hollow bearings such as are needed in roller units in which the unbalances are rotatably mounted in the rollers, all of which 1contributes to producing a simpler mechanical structure.
  • the roller unit according to the present invention can be built lighter than prior art roller units designed to produce the same tamping action.

  • a tamping roller unit comprising two generally triangular frames, preferably of isosceles configuration, each having a base member 3 and two upwardly extending arm members 31 and 32.
  • the two triangular frames are arranged at the sides of the unit and are rmly connected to each other by means of suitable transverse members to form therewith a single rigid frame Iwork.
  • the fra-mes carry two bearings 10 and two ybearings 20 arranged near the ends of the base members 3, which bearings support the rollers 1 and 2, respectively.
  • two further bearings 40 Arranged at the apexes of the two triangular frames are two further bearings 40 which rotatably mount the vibrator 4.
  • rollers 1 and 2 and the unbalance 4 are combined to form a single rigid structural entity, in which the vibrator is located above the two rollers, more particularly, above the midpoint of a line joining the rollers 1 and 2, or more accurately, the midpoint of a line joining the axes about which the rollers rotate.
  • FIGURE 2a shows the two side frames, here illustrated as being in the form of side plates 33 and 34, as being connected to each other by means of a transverse member 35.
  • the present invention is not limited to the provision of such a frame work, as will become apparent from a consideration of the modifications described below in connection with FIGURES 3 to 5.
  • the frame work carries a plate 7 which is connected to the frame work by means of elastic couplings 8.
  • the plate 7 supports a driving means incorporating a motor 5 and a transmission 6, which motor and transmission serve as a load on the plate.
  • a handle 9 Also connected to the plate 7 is a handle 9 by means of which the tamper unit can be steered.
  • the motor 5, the transmission 6, and the point at which the handle 9 is attached to the plate 7 are so arranged with respect to each other and to the rollers 1 and 2 that the rollers 1 and 2 are statically evenly loaded.
  • the vibrator 4 is in the form of an unbalance element which generates non-directional oscillations.
  • the motor 5, which is constituted by a conventional internal com ⁇ bustion engine, eg., a diesel motor, has a crank shaft 51 which carries a power take-olf in the form of a pulley 51a, the latter being power-transmittingly connected to a further pulley 4a carried by the shaft 4b of unbalance 4 via a transmission belt or chain 510, so that the unbalance 4 is made to rotate in any desired direction.
  • the rollers 1 and 2 are driven by the output 6a of the transmission 6; in the illustrated embodiment, a transmission belt or chain 610 connects the output pulley 6a With a drive pulley 2a of roller 2, there being a further transmission belt or chain 611 interconnecting pulleys 2b and 1a carried by rollers 2 and 1, respectively.
  • the transmission 6 itself is driven, via a ktransmission belt or chain 511, by a suitable power take-off, such as a pulley 50a, provided on the cam shaft 50 of the motor 5.
  • the power take-off for crank shaft 51 and the power take-off for the cam shaft 50 are arran-ged on opposite sides of the unit, so that the drive for the unbalance 4 and the drive for the rollers 1 and 2 lie on opposite sides of the unit.
  • Suitable control means such as a throttle and clutches, will be provided to enable the operator to control the operation of the motor and of the unbalance 4 and the rollers 1, 2.
  • These control means per se are conventional and therefore are not illustrated.
  • the tamping roller unit according to the present invention operates as follows:
  • the unbalance 4 is rotated via the transmission S10. During the rst half (180) of its rotation out of the illustrated position, the entire unbalance force is brought to bear on roller 2, so that the Same is pressed downwardly against the surface on which the unit stands. Inasmuch as the two rollers 1 andf2 form a rigid structural entity together with the unbalance 4, ythefroller 1 is not acted on by the unbalance and may, in fact, be raised slightly off the ground.
  • roller 2 is relieved whereas the full effect of the unbalance is brought to bear on roller 1.
  • the roller 2 may thus be raised slightly off the ground.
  • the above-described double loading process repeats itself with each revolution of the unbalance.
  • the rollers and the vibrator which form the rigid entity as described above and wherein the rotary vibrator is located at an end of a rocker arm which is spaced from the axes of the front and rear rollers, thus act as a rocker which rocks back. and forth in the rhythm of the frequency of the vibrations, the vibratory jars acting alternately on the two rollers 1 and 2. In this way, an intensive tamping action is obtained with very simple means.
  • tamping roller unit of FIGURES 1 and 2 incorporates means for driving the rollers 1 and 2, it is not essential, for purposes of the present invention, that the rollers 1 and 2 be driven. Instead, the power necessary for locomotion of the unit may be derived from the operator.
  • the position of the vibrator means relative to the rollers can be varied to a certain extent, and while it has been found to be most simple, expedient and practical to arrange a single vibrator above the rollers, particularly above the midpoint of a line joining the rollers, as shown in FIGURES l and 2, the position of the vibrator means, and the type of vibrator means, may be different from that which is described above.
  • FIGURE 3 shows a modified arrangement of the prent invention in which thev frame work joining the rollers 1,2, and the unbalance 4 into a single rigid structural entity has an inverted T configuration andcomprises horizontal base members 103 and vertical members 130 (the members of only one inverted T frame being shown in 4. FIGURE 3).
  • the vertical member 13G-of each frame extends from the middle of the respective base member 103 so that the arrangement is again suc-h that the bearings 40 for the unbalance 4 are located above the mid- ⁇ point of the line joining the axes of the rollers 1 and 2.
  • the vertical frame members carry a counter-rotating double unbalance 400.
  • the axes of the two unbalance components are arranged one above Ethe other, this being the only possible arrangement which allows the use of such a double unbalance to be located above the rollers.
  • the vibrator is located in alignment with the line joining the two rollers and outside of the space bounded by the vertical planes n and b passing, respectively, through the leading peripheral portion of front roller 1 and the trailing peripheral portion of the rear roller'2.
  • the horizontal frame members 203 are provided with extensions 300 which carry the two unbalance components 400 of a contrarotating vibrator, these two components being arranged alongside of each other.
  • a further frame extension 301 carrying a counter balance weight 41.
  • the counter-rotating vibrator 400 and the counter balance weight 41 are so arranged that the dynamic center of gravity is located approximately in the middle between the two rollers 1 and 2. Were there no counter balance weight 41, the lever arm of lframe extension 300 would have to be of corresponding length.
  • FIGURE 4 shows the useof a counter-rotating vibrator which produces directional oscillations, the same-may be replaced by a simple rotating unbalance, a pendular vibrator, a magnetic vibrator, or.
  • the tamping roller unit is provided with four rollers, namely, a pair of front rollers 1 and a pair of rear rollers 2, the axis of the vibrator 4 being, as before, located above the midpoint of the set of rollers.
  • the operation of the unit of FIG- URE 5 is identical to that of the embodiment ofv FIG- URES 1 and 2, the pairs of rollers 1 and 2 being alternately subjected to a force and relieved from the action of the force.
