Impact energy converter between dissimilar body masses

摘要

Bodies (2-15) staged in mass value are interposed between the body of smallest mass (16) and that of largest mass (1) so as to form a chain to transfer impact energy between large and small bodies. The staged mass values are between 1.2 and 1.3, and the interposed bodies come in the form of steel balls or steel cylinders with rounded endfaces and additional elastic elements are arranged between the respective mass bodies (1-16). The converter as such presents a one-piece conical mass element which is incised or waisted at pre-set intervals equal in number to the total number of mass bodies. The incised etc sectors correspond to the interposed elastically deformable areas and the individual mass bodies (1-16) are arranged in a conical guide sleeve with the mass ratio between smallest and largest bodies (1 and 16) to exceed 10,000. Details include the thin Nylon thread (17) suspending the balls from the rod (18), using ball diameters in the stage range of 32-10 mm, with a largest ball mass 135 and smallest 4.11 g.
