700,704. Torsional vibration dampers. SARAZIN, G. F. March 22,1951 [March 29, 1950], No. 6961/51. Class 108(3) A dynamic damper for reducing torsional vibrations of a rotating shaft, including an eccentrically suspended pendulum without return spring, comprises resilient means capable of applying a restoring force, opposing movement of the pendulum in at least the traverse direction, i.e. the direction perpendicular to the plane of pendular movement of the pendulum, where movement is undesirable, while offering a substantially lower resistance to normal circumferential pendular displacement of the pendulum. In the arrangement according to Figs. 1 and 2, in which blocks. 34 mounted on the inner peripheral wall of an annular liquid-tight casing each co-operates with a pendular mass 38 through rollers 36, 36, rubber plugs 44 are mounted on the side walls 16 and 30 of the casing and slidingly engage the, mass 38 without substantial friction.. The casing contains a quantity of oil or the like which in operation of the damper substantially covers the blocks 34 and lubricates the rollers 36. The casing is carried on a sleeve 4 which is keyed to a shaft 2. and includes an extension 8 for a screwed plug 10 into which a bolt 12 is screwed in order to remove the damper from the shaft 2. In another arrangement, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown), tension springs are connected between the masses 38 and the side walls of the casing. Strip springs may also be spot-welded to the ends of the masses 38 the ends of the strip being bent back to engage the side: walls 16 and 30. In another arrangement, Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown), in which a plurality of rolling masses is distributed around the shaft axis within the annular casing and in which each mass engages in a depression formed in the peripheral wall of the casing, the mass is retained in engagement with the depression by means of coil springs connecting a pin through the mass with the side walls of the casing. In a similar arrangement, Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown), the rolling masses engage blocks on the inner peripheral wall of the casing against which they are retained by a spring ring engaging all the masses. Rubber blocks are secured to the side walls of the casing and slidingly engage the masses. In a modification, Fig. 9 (not shown), the rolling masses are supported on needle bearings which run in rings engaging the blocks. In an arrangement, Figs. 10 and 11 (not shown), similar to that of Fig. 8, the rolling masses engage depressions in the casing, similar to those of the Fig. 6 construction. In other arrangements, Figs. 12 to 18 (not shown), in which substantially rectangular masses are retained in engagement with rollers running in tracks secured to the casing by a ring spring, plates are secured to the masses and tracks respectively and include resilient flanges which extend along each side and across the ends of each mass and track. In one form, the plates do not include the end flanges. In a further arrangement, Fig. 19, rollers 122 between blocks 124 and masses 120 project at their ends into rubber or the like cups 128 which are retained in position by an annular plate 126 and the other wall 30 of the casing. In other arrangements, Figs. 20 and 21 (not shown), a pin extends through each roller and is retained in position therein by metal and resilient end washers. In the Fig. 21 arrangement the rollers are solid and have reduced end portions for the washers. In the arrangement according to Figs. 22 and 23 side plates 156 are attached to each pendular mass 150 and coil springs 162 extend between the ends of the plates 156 and an intermediate bracket 160 attached to the peripheral wall 28 of the casing. In a further arrangement, Fig. 24 (not shown), the blocks rollers and masses, in an arrangement similar to that of Fig. 1, are retained in position by an annular ring and resilient materials arranged between the outer wall of the casing and the plate 126 of the Fig. 19 construction. In the arrangement according to Fig. 26, rubber or the like balls 194 are disposed in a groove 192 in the casing and bear in slots 198 in a cover 196 attached to each mass 102. In another arrangement, Fig. 27 (not shown), the masses and rollers are each in three sections. Specifications 379,165. [Group XXVI], and 664,119 are referred to. |
