narodni podnik, Plzen, Czechoslovakia Filed Apr. 11, 1968, Ser. No. 720,737 Claims priority, application Czechoslovakia, Apr. 11, 1967, 2,622/67 Int. Cl. F16h 19/04 U.S. C]. 74-29 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The rotary motion of a body about an axis is analyzed in terms of rectangular Cartesian coordinates by slides guided in paths perpendicular to each other and to the axis of rotation and each fixedly carrying an engaging arm formed with a slot enlongated at right angles to the path of the associated slide. An eccentric coupling pin on the body whose motion is to be analyzed is simultaneously received in both slots. A rack on each slide engages a pinion on the input member of a selsyn so that the output signals of the selsyns are indicative of the position of the pin in Cartesian coordinates.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the analysis of rotary motion in terms of Cartesian coordinates, and particularly to apparatus for generating signals indicative of the position of a body moving in an arcuate path relative to a system of Cartesian coordinates.
The problems which can be solved by such apparatus are examplified by the milling machine for milling crankshafts disclosed in the copending, commonly assigned application of Frantisek Rozanek et al., filed on or about Jan. 24, 1968, in which a milling cutter is moved in a circular path by means of a supporting head arranged to move the cutter in two directions perpendicular to each other, while the crankshaft to be machined rotates about its axis.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The apparatus of the invention may consist mainly of two guides which define respective rectilinear paths extending in the direction of the desired Cartesian coordinates which are transverse of the axis of rotation of the body to be analyzed and transverse of each other. Actuator members respectively guided in these paths carry fixedly fastened engaging elements each of which engages the same eccentric coupling member on the rotating body in such a manner that the engaging element moves with the coupling member in the direction of the path of the associated actuator member while permitting the coupling member to move freely relative to the engaging element in the direction of the path of the other actuator member. The actuator members each operate a signal generator which produces a signal in response to the position of the connected actuator member in the path thereof.
The exact nature of this invention as well as other features, objects and advantages thereof will .be readily apparent from consideration of the following specification relating to the annexed drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The sole figure of the drawing shows the analyzing apparatus of the invention in fragmentary elevational view.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The body 1 whose rotary motion is to be analyzed is a crankshaft 1, not shown in detail, on which an eccentric,
The arms 3, 4 have respective longitudinal slots 31, 41 whose longitudinal walls are spaced apart approximately by the diameter of the pin 2. The pin 2 is simultaneously received in both slots 31, 41 in abutting engagement with the faces of the longitudinal walls, the arms 3, 4 being superimposed in the direction of the axis of the shaft 1.
When the shaft 1 rotates clockwise from the position shown in the drawing, the coupling pin 2 slowly moves the engaging arm 3 and the slide 6 upward, as viewed in the drawing, whereby the input shaft 16 of the selsyn 12 is turned clockwise. Simultaneously, the pin 2 moves at a higher speed longitudinally in the slot 31, but this movement has no effect on the position of the input shaft 16.
Also, the arm 4 on the slide 5 is moved toward the left, as viewed in the drawing, by the pin 2, and the input shaft 15 of the selsyn 11 is moved counterclockwise. The free longitudinal movement of the pin 2 in the slot 41 does not affect the position of the selsyn 11.
The output signals of the selsyns 11, 12 are amplified in a conventional manner and fed to two servomotors in the aforementioned milling machine which shift the milling cutter along respective paths perpendicular to each other. If the two servomechanisms are identical, the milling head is moved thereby in a circle in synchronization with the circular movement performed by the pin 2 during rotation of the shaft 1.
It will be appreciated that the apparatus illustrated may readily be modified to analyze the rotary motion of the shaft 1 in terms of oblique Cartesian coordinates if the two rectilinear movements of the milling machine head are obliquely inclined relative to each other. Servomechanisms of the type specifically described above permit the output signals generated by the selsyns 11, 12 in response to the positions of the actuating slides 5, 6 to be modified in a simple manner by conventional electronic controls on the associated amplifiers, and electronic or electrical signal generators are therefore preferred. The slides 5, 6 may be employed in an obvious manner for actuating mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic signal generators in an obvious manner to produce signals indicative of the position of the pin 2 in Cartesian coordinates.
It should be understood, therefore, that the foregoing disclosure relates only to a preferred embodiment of the invention, and that it is intended to cover all changes and modifications of the example of the invention chosen herein for the purpose of the disclosure which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention set forth in the appended claims.
