DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
Figure 1, of the accompanying drawings, illustrates tilted positions of a motor fitted onto the mounting mechanism of this invention.
According to the invention, there is a novel adjustable motor mounting mechanism (100), which comprises a motor (10) mounted on top of a shank or connecting from a shaft end.
In accordance with an embodiment of this invention, there is provided a first (foundation) flange (12) and a second (motor) flange (14), said second flange resting atop said first flange. Typically, said foundation flange is a fixed vertical mounting flange adapted to provide a fixing means for fixing said motor. Typically said motor flange is a tilting flange adapted to provide the tilting to said motor. Typically, motor is mounted on said second flange.
Typically, said first flange is a cylinder with a flat base parallel to ground and an angularly transversely cut top surface, such that the top plane is not parallel to said flat base.
Typically, said second flange is a cylinder with a top flat surface parallel to ground and an angularly transversely cut base, such that the base is not parallel to said top surface.
Typically, slope of said top surface of said first flange is complementary with slope of said base of said second flange.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a plurality of first mating means (Fl, F2, F3, F4, M F5, F6, F7, F8) on said first flange adapted to couple with second mating means (Ml, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8) on said second flange (as shown in Figure 10 of the accompanying drawings). Each of said plurality of first mating means is adapted to couple with each of said plurality of second mating means to achieve a resting position for said mounted motor. Typically, the plurality of mating means are located at pre-defined positions with respect to the calculated tilting to be achieved.
Typically, the second flange is adapted to be angularly displaced with respect to said first flange, thus rotating the mounted motor on said second flange with respect to said first flange, and thereby achieving the tilt of said motor with respect to said ground.
As the tilting flange is rotated with respect to the mounting flange, the resting position of the slope of said second flange over the slope of said first flange changes. This changes the normally vertical position of the motor, and causes it to tilt.
Figures 2 to 9, of the accompanying drawings, illustrate a front view of the various tilted positions of the motor while being mounted on the flanges. (Corresponding mating points are as disclosed in Figure 10 of the accompanying drawings.)
When mating Ml is correspondingly fitted over Fl, the motor remains vertical, with 0 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings.
When mating Ml is correspondingly fitted over F2, the motor gets tilted, with 7 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings.
When mating Ml is correspondingly fitted over F3, the motor gets tilted, with 14 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings.
When mating Ml is correspondingly fitted over F4, the motor gets tilted, with 21 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 5 of the accompanying drawings.
When mating Ml is correspondingly fitted over F5, the motor gets tilted, with 28 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 6 of the accompanying drawings.
When mating Ml is correspondingly fitted over F6, the motor gets tilted, with 35 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 7 of the accompanying drawings.
When mating Ml is correspondingly fitted over F7, the motor gets tilted, with 42 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 8 of the accompanying drawings.
When mating M1 is correspondingly fitted over F8, the motor gets tilted, with 49 degree deviation from the vertical axis, as seen in Figure 9 of the accompanying drawings.
Typically, the mating means includes a male mating contact on either of said flange. Typically, the mating means includes a female mating contact on remainder of said flange.
Typically, the motor can achieve various angular tilting locations with respect to a vertical axis.
In accordance to the present invention, novel adjustable motor mounting mechanism is disclosed, where motor is mounted on top or bottom flange. This adjustable motor mounting mechanism eliminates process of making different types of mounting means and assembling which saves manufacturing and material costs, and increase modularity. Typically, motor is directly mounted to the tilting flange as well as vertical mounting flange through a shaft end side of the motor. This mechanism provides tilting projection with variable angles on which motor can be mounted and get specified performance of the as per desired or specified position and application. This eliminates a component, a set of process, material which causes cost saving in contrast to conventional cases of mounting mechanisms.
