Abstract: A hypocycloidal drive unit converts rotary to linear motion for use in high speed, high volume repetitive operations such as folding and lifting operations in the fiberglass insulation production industry. The drive unit is of low cost and low maintenance construction using a ring assembly with an inner planet wheel. An eccentric arm extends from the planet wheel and connects to crank arms joined to a lift arm which linearly and reciprocatingly slides in guides. The drive unit is characterized by the absence of gear teeth on the inner surface of the ring and on the planet wheel outer diameter. Various embodiments are disclosed including a circumferential chain around the ring and an inner planet wheel sprocket engaging the chain, a smooth inner ring circumferential surface and rubber faced planet wheel or tire traveling around the inner ring and an elastomeric cog belt and toothed planet wheel. The drive unit is able to withstand high cycle rates of up and down lift cycles per second during continuous operation.

Abstract translation: 低音单元驱动单元将旋转转换为线性运动，用于高速，大容量重复操作，例如玻璃纤维绝缘生产行业的折叠和提升操作。 驱动单元的成本低，维护结构低，使用带有内行星轮的环组件。 偏心臂从行星轮延伸并且连接到连接到提升臂的曲柄臂，该提升臂在导轨中线性地并且往复滑动。 驱动单元的特征在于环的内表面上和行星轮外径上没有齿轮齿。 公开了各种实施例，其包括围绕环的周向链和接合链的内部行星轮链轮，平滑的内环圆周表面和围绕内圈行进的橡胶面行星轮或轮胎以及弹性体嵌齿带和齿形行星轮。 驱动单元能够在连续运行期间承受高达每秒上升和下降提升循环的循环速率。

Abstract: In an insulation blanket-packaging machine and method for continuously packaging insulation blanket in the form of batts there is a continuous: infeed of batts into a loading station; movement of batts from the loading station into a transfer station that also functions as a batt-stacking station; formation of a batt stack in the transfer station; compression of a batt stack in a compression station; envelopment of a compressed batt stack within sheet material in a packaging station to form a package; and removal of a package from the machine. The machine can also be used to package insulation blanket in roll form.
