Abstract:
A multistep reduction-gear attachment for multipurpose electric motors. Its casing-like gear box, whcih can be attached to a collar that surrounds the shaft of the motor and is intended for securing accessories, accommodates two axially parallel belt wheels or toothed wheels. One wheel is screwed onto the motor shaft, which engages inside the the gear box when the motor is in operation. The other wheel is screwed onto a drill spindle that is inserted into the gear box from the opposite side. To reduce manufacturing costs and simplify mounting accessories, the gear box (2) consist of two angled components (3), each flank (5) of which has at the end a chuck (6) for the collar (8) of the electric motor (1) or for the drill spindle (9) and which are secured together with means (4 & 13) of attachment that can be loosened in such a way that the components can move toward each other along said flank and the angled components, the belt wheels, and the wall plates (14) are similar to each other in shape.
Abstract:
An integral revolution clutch is provided wherein a motor rotates a drive pulley which continuously drives an idler pulley through a belt. A drive shaft is provided with a segment of a circle thereon connectable to the idler pulley by means of the belt. A spring means urges the segment into contact with the belt and a stop means normally prevents contact. When the stop means is deactivated, the segment is drawn between the belt and the pulley, causing the shaft on which the segment is located to make an integral number of revolutions until the stop means is restored. In a similar manner, power can be taken directly from the drive pulley.
Abstract:
An electromechanical speed variator for apparatus having a device suitable to be rotated at two or more speeds different from one another, comprising a first electric drive motor for directly rotating said device at a first speed; a second electric drive motor for indirectly rotating said device at a second speed; a drive wheel connected to the shaft of one of said motors and a friction wheel idly rotably carried by a moving support between a first inoperative position remote from said drive wheel and a second operative position, thereat contacting said drive wheel and respectively the shaft of said other electric drive motor; and control means comprising an electromagnet, and return spring means acting on the moving support of the friction wheel to move the latter to either of its two said positions.
Abstract:
Underwater energy generation and storage systems for use in a water body includes a floating platform for supporting a compressor assembly and surface electrical generators; a ballast platform for anchoring the floating platform and optionally supporting submerged electrical generators; a cylinder between the floating platform and the ballast platform; and an air/water tank moveable along the cylinder to generate electrical energy both in an upstroke towards the floating platform and a downstroke towards the ballast platform. The air/water tank may include a magnet assembly, with the cylinder including magnetic coil assemblies. The cylinder may be in the form of a rotatable cylindrical cam. Methods of using the systems are also provided.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to drive assemblies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Specifically, the disclosure is directed to hybrid drive assembly and control system for UAVs, utilizing indexed belt tension modulation to couple and decouple an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
A monitored drive belt of a machine that includes a drive belt (3), a module (1) fixed to the drive belt that includes an electromagnetic device (11) with two terminals (1111) and (1112) and an electric device (12), a magnet (22) fixed to a body of the machine at close proximity to a path of module (1) when the drive belt rotates. The electric device includes a power management circuit (121) that is connected to the two terminals (1111) (11112), an electric power storing device (122), at least one sensor (123) that is designed to sense surrounding condition or condition of the drive belt itself, and a data transmission means (124), and such that when the driving belt rotates the magnet can induces electric voltage between the two terminals of the electromagnetic device, and such that the voltage can be managed by the power management circuit and such that the power management circuit can charge the electric power storing device, and power the sensor and the data transmission means.
