VIBRATION DRIVE MACHINE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B62D57/02 F03G3/08 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mechanical drives converting rotation into translation. Proposed drive comprises drive engine arranged on foundation, elastic and damping links between foundation and frame. Four vibration exciters are secured on said foundation, each being engaged by bevel gearing with drive engine. Vibration exciter case comprises input shaft running in bearings to carry axle of planet pinions running in two bearings perpendicular to input shaft axis. Two unbalances weight are fitted on planet pinion shaft extensions with their center of gravity spaced from axes of plate pinions and input shaft. Two bevel pinions are fitted on shaft of pinions in symmetry about input shaft to engage with bevel gear fixed on vibration excite case. Number of bevel gear teeth equals that of bevel pinions, one of the latter slides while another one is fixed on the shaft of pinions. Said unbalanced weight in every vibration exciter are arranged in-phase and opposite each other.

EFFECT: unidirectional pulsating thrust applied to single foundation.
