Research on the Interaction between Power Source and Machinery : Part 3, Vibrating Lift Made by Utilizing the Principle of Self-Synchronization

抄録

This paper investigates new types of vibrating lift made by utilizing the principle of self-synchronization of mechanical vibrators. Two unbalanced vibrators whose axes are non-parallel and each driven by two motors, rotate at the same speed and have a definite phase angle as the result of the phenomena of self-synchronization. Accordingly, due to a screw vibration about the axis of the structure, products ride up the inclined way of a spiral trough. Two types of vibrating lift were set up and vibrations of the spiral trough were measured for various values of set parameters of the unbalanced rotors. In addition, the travelling speeds of products in the spiral trough were measured.
