Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chain sprocket, particularly but not exclusively, a sprocket of the type that is used in combination with an endless roller and bush chain.
  • a sprocket for a drive chain comprising a wheel body with at least one chain-engaging tooth that is retractable into the body.
  • the tooth is arranged so that as a chain is presented to the periphery of the sprocket it is in the withdrawn position and as the sprocket rotates the tooth gradually moves towards the extended position so as to engage the chain.
  • the tooth is preferably reversibly retractable from a chain-engaging extended position in which it protrudes from the body to a retracted position.
  • the tooth is preferably radially retractable.
  • the tooth is preferably biased into the retracted position and may be moved to the extended position by means of a cam.
  • the cam may be fixed relative to the sprocket so that the tooth is moved during rotation of the sprocket.
  • the cam is eccentric and engages a radially inward end of the tooth when the latter is moved to the extended position.
  • the sprocket comprises a plurality of retractable teeth each being moveable in sequence as it passes over the cam.
  • the teeth are supported on a resilient annulus that is engaged by the cam.
  • the cam may rotate about a fixed point offset from a centre of rotation of the sprocket.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic partially sectioned side view of a sprocket according to a first embodiment of the present invention
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged view of part of the sprocket of figure 1 showing teeth in an extended position
  • Figure 3 is a schematic side view illustrating a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • figures 1 and 2 show a rotary drive sprocket 1 of the present invention that has a centre of rotation 2 and is designed to engage with a roller chain 3 only part of the outline of which is represented schematically by parallel lines. The remainder of the chain 3 is removed for clarity but it will be understood that it approaches the sprocket 1 in direction of arrow A, engages approximately 180° of the periphery of the sprocket 1 and emerges in the direction of arrow B.
  • the sprocket 1 has a plurality of equi-angularly spaced teeth 4, each of which is radially moveable within a respective radial slot 5 in the sprocket 1.
  • Each tooth 4 is resiliently biased into a withdrawn position by means of, for example, a spring or hydraulic pressure (not shown).
  • Radially inner ends of the teeth 4 have semi-cylindrical formations 6 that are designed to come into sliding contact with an eccentric cam 7 that is fixed at the centre of rotation 2 of the sprocket 1.
  • the sprocket 1 rotates clockwise to drive the chain 3 in the direction of arrows A and B.
  • the teeth 4 ride over the eccentric of the cam 7 they are gradually forced radially outwardly to a fully extended position (as represented by tooth 4a in figure 2) and after passing the cam they gradually return to a retracted position.
  • the cam 7 is carefully positioned so that its eccentric portion coincides with the point where the chain 3 fully engages the sprocket 1.
  • the nearest sprocket tooth represented by 4b in figure 1
  • the nearest sprocket tooth represented by 4b in figure 1
  • the tooth 4b When fully extended the tooth (as represented by tooth 4b) is in complete engagement with the chain 3.
  • radially inner ends of the teeth 4 engage an elastic annulus 8 which on its inner circumferential surface is engaged at one point by a rotary circular cam 9.
  • the annulus 8 rides over the cam 9 and is locally deflected so as to cause the adjacent teeth 4 to move radially outwards and into engagement with the chain 3.

Abstract

Pignon (1) adapté à une chaîne (3) d'entraînement présentant une pluralité de dents (4) rétractiles radialement. Tandis que le pignon tourne, les dents passent sur une came (7) qui les pousse en séquence d'une position rétractée à une position sortie, dans laquelle elles engrènent la chaîne. Les dents sont sollicitées élastiquement dans la position rétractée de façon à ce qu'après qu'elles ont engrené la came, elles reviennent à la position rétractée. Les dents rétractiles permettent de réduire considérablement le bruit causé par l'impact de la chaîne sur les dents du pignon.
