Definitions

  • Nackenoff Attorney-Lowry, Rmehart and Markva ABSTRACT This provides a vibratory road roller having at [54] g least two driven roller drums lying one behind the other in the wmg direction of travel. The drums are carried by a rigid frame. [52] U.S. 94/50 The drums which are placed one behind the other are of dif- [51] Int. E0lc 19/24 ferent weights. In one embodiment of the invention the roller [50] Ficldof Search 94/48, 49, drums are also of different lengths. At least one of the roller drums has a vibration shaft which carries eccentric weights.
  • Vibratory road rollers wherein each roller drum is provided .driven by one motor.
  • both of the roller drums are of the same weight. Therefore, the motor power for generating vibrations is uniformly distributed to both drums. In this way, each drum can be supplied with a maximum of about 50 percent of the available motor power.
  • Such a vibratory road roller of the prior art produces a double number of strokes arising from the vibrations caused by the eccentric weights on each of the roller drums.
  • only half the motor power is available for each stroke. That is, the predetermined available motor performance sets a practical limit of about 50 percent to the effect of the strokes of each drum of the roller.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a vibratory road roller of the type mentioned hereinabove wherein the motor power available for vibratory work for a roller drum can be more economically utilized;
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a vibratory 7 road roller having driven roller drums lying one behind the other in a rigid frame wherein one roller drum is considerably heavier than the other.
  • Another objectof the invention is to provide a vibratory road roller having roller drums lying one behind the other in a shaft produce twice as much force without the need for greater motor power than has been utilized in the past.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide a relatively heavy stroke using 100 percent of the motor power instead of two relatively weak strokes distributed between two drums which use about 50 percent of the total motorpower. In this way, a considerably more intensive vibratory effect of the road roller on the ground is achieved.
  • the vibratory drum produces a strong vibratory stroke which is worth more than two relatively weak strokes.
  • a vibratory shaft is provided for both roller drums. In this case, therefore, if it is necessary to use a smaller inertia force, only the vibratory shaft of the lighter roller drum need be driven. Less motor power may be taken up under these conditions.
  • the heavier roller drum in the road roller of this invention may be from about 30 percent to about 50 percent heavier than the other roller drum. However, the heavier roller drum may be more than 50 percent heavier than the other roller drum. In the latter instance, the heavier roller drum may weigh at least 50 percent of the overall weight of the road roller.
  • the eccentric weights of the vibratory shaft of the heavier drum are greater in weight than those of the lighter drum.
  • the ratio of the eccentric weights on one shaft to those on the other may correspond to about the ratio of the weights of the tires of the roller drums with respect to each other.
  • the invention contemplates the use of a clutch by which the motor can be selectively connected to drive the vibratory shaft of one or either of the drums. It is further contemplated that a reverse gear be provided to allow reverse travel for the road roller.
  • the heavier drum is advantageously the front drum of the road roller.
  • the roller drums may be of different lengths with the heavier drum having a greater length than the lighter drum.
  • One embodiment of the invention provides a structure wherein both drums ride with their side faces flush on the drive side of the road roller.
  • the rigid frame is shaped on the other side to accommodate the different lengths of the roller drums and thereby provide a complete unit.
  • the road roller units can be coupled together so that a multiple-ganged roller unit can be provided. When'such a ganged roller unit is used, the middle strip of road in the direction of road roller travel does not remain uncompressed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view on the line H of FIG. 3 of a vibratory road roller made in accordance with this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a side view corresponding to FIG. 1 includingthe drive for the vibratory shaft
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional viewon the line III-III of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of'anothervibratory road roller made in accordance with this invention wherein the vibratory shafts of the roller drums may be selectively driven,
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of a further embodiment of a vibratory roller of this invention wherein all superstructural parts have been omitted, and
  • FIG. 6 is a side view of the embodiment of FIG. 5 wherein the roller drums are ganged.
  • a vibratory road roller generally designated 1 has two roller drums 2 and 3lying one behind the other in the direction of travel.
  • the roller drums 2 and 3 are set in a rigid frame having an upper cover plate 6 which joins two sides '4 and 5.
  • the roller drum 2 has trunnions'8 mounted in bearings 7 at each side of the roller.
  • the roller drum 3 is provided on each side with the axle parts 9 mounted in bearings 10 on the sides 4 and 5.
  • the road roller 1 is advantageously self-propelling.
  • the roller 1 is driven through a gear means which includes gear wheels ll, 12, 13 and 14.
  • the roller drums 2 and 3 have different weights.
  • the drum 2 has a relatively light tire 2a, and the drum 3. has a relatively heavy tire 3a.
  • the roller drum 3 may be from about 30 percent to 50 percent heavier than the drum 2. However, the weight of drum 3 may be made more than 50 percent heavier than that of drum 2. In this latter instance, the heavier drum 3 advantageously amounts to at least 50 percent of the overall weight of the road roller 1.
  • the heavy drum 3 has a vibration shaft 15 on which eccentric weights 16 are mounted.
  • the shaft 15 is rotatably mounted in bearings 17 in the axle parts 9.
  • a pulley wheel 18 is mounted on an end 15a of the shaft 15.
  • a motor 19 is mounted on the frame 4, 5 and 6 above the drum 2.
  • the motor 19 can simultaneously drive the road roller 1 and the vibration shaft 15.
  • the motor 19 is connected by a belt drive 20 to a gearbox 21 mounted in the middle of the road roller 1.
  • the power from the motor 19 is'divided in the gearbox 21 between the road-drive gear means ll, -l2, l3 and 14 and the vibration shaft 15.
  • a smaller part of the power goes to the road-drive gear means l1, 12, 13 and 14.
  • a reversing gear (not shown) within the gearbox 21 is provided for'the reverse travel of the road roller 1.
  • the larger portion of the power goes to the vibration shaft 15 by way of the pulley wheel 22.
  • a toothed belt 23 connects the pulley wheel 22 to the belt pulley 18 for driving the vibration shaft 15.
  • a pulley wheel 24 is inserted to apply tension to the toothed belt 23.
  • the gear drive means 1,1, 12, 13 and 14 is located in a housing 25.
  • the gear drive means l1, l2, l3 and 14 is located in a housing 25.
  • the drive means 18, 22, 23 and 24 are located in the housing 26.
  • the road roller 1 can be equipped with an insertable drawbar 27 for steering the road roller.
  • the weight and size of the eccentric weights 16 are arranged to suit the tire 3a of the drum 3 in a manner known in theprior art.
  • a gear shift lever. 28 allows selection of neutral, reverse or forward gears.
  • a motor may be provided to independently drive the road roller 1 and the vibration shaft 15.
  • the road roller 1 is made sufficiently narrow to form a ground-compressing implement for consolidation work in a ditch.
  • the motor 19 and gearbox 21 are therefore advantageously mounted one behind the other in the direction of travel since the motor 19 is capable of being mounted above the rear drum 2.
  • only the front drum 3 which has the heavier weight and therefore heavy inertia forces is equipped with a vibration shaft 15.
  • the rear drum 2 is lighter and used to support the roller 1.
  • the lighter drum 2 does not have a vibration shaft in this embodiment.
  • the lighter rear drum 2 is provided with a vibration shaft 29 carrying eccentric weights 30 as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 4.
  • the weights 30 are correspondingly lighter than the weights 16 which are mounted on the shaft 15. That is, both drums 2 and 3 are provided with eccentric weights.
  • the vibration shaft 29 has-a laterally projecting pulley wheel 31 driven by a toothedbelt 32 from a pulley wheel 33.
  • the pulley wheel 33 is independent of a pulley wheel (not shown) which drives the vibration shaft through toothed belt 23.
  • a clutch may be provided for the pulley wheels which control the movement of the pulley belts 32 and 23. In this way either the shaft 29 or the shaft 15, respectively, may be selectively driven by the motor 34.
  • a road roller having the construction as shown in FIG.
  • the drum 3 having the heavier vibrator strokes may take up the full power of the motor 34 for the vibratory drive. If a lesser vibratory power is needed, only the rear vibratory shaft 29 is driven.
  • the rear vibratory shaft 29 can theoretically deliver about one-half the inertia force of the vibratory shaft 15. This distribution of the delivery of inertia force is made in accordance with the weight ratios used in the eccentric weights and 16 and total weights of the drums 2 and 3.
  • the motor 34 can be mounted side by side with the gear box when the road roller of this embodiment has a sufficient width.
  • the gearbox 35 has a branch for the road drive with a corresponding clutch for neutral, forward and reverse gears.
  • a ganged road roller shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 consists of units generally designated 1a and lb including roller drums 2a, 3a and 2b, 3b, respectively.
  • the drums 3a, 3b are longer than the drums 2a, 2b.
  • the drums 3a, 3b have thicker and heavier tires than the drums 2a, 2b.
