Benefits of technology
This patent describes a compaction system that can provide multiple compaction passes for each pass of the system. The system includes a belt, a sun element, and a planet element that revolves around the sun element. The belt also revolves around the sun element. For every revolution of the belt, the planet element completes one or more revolutions around the sun element. This design allows for smoother and more effective compaction. Additionally, the patent describes a compaction machine that includes a frame and a power source, and a rotating compaction system that is engaged with the frame. The compaction system includes a sun element and a pneumatic tire that revolves around the sun element. The pneumatic tire completes one or more revolutions around the sun element for every revolution of the compaction system. This design enables smoother and more effective compaction as well.
Problems solved by technology
However, the metallic roller may generate cracks in the asphalt surface due to over compaction and / or a weight of the metallic roller which may eventually lead to failure of the asphalt surface.
Multiple machine passes are time consuming and result in lower productivity of the compaction machine and higher cost to accomplish the required compaction.
The number of passes provided by the machine in every pass of the machine may be limited by the number of rollers provided within the belt.
Additionally, the system disclosed in the '082 patent is overly complex as compared to compaction machines known in the art.

Embodiment Construction
[0013]Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or the like parts. Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary machine 100 is illustrated. More specifically, the machine 100 is a soil compactor. In other embodiments, the machine 100 may be any other machine known in the art, such as, a pneumatic compactor, an asphalt compactor, a utility compactor, a landfill compactor, and so on. The machine 100 is configured to compact a surface by providing one or more passes while compacting the surface.
[0014]The machine 100 includes a frame or a chassis 102. The frame 102 is configured to support and / or mount one or more components of the machine 100. The machine 100 includes an enclosure 104 provided on the frame 102. The enclosure 104 is configured to house a power source (not shown). The power source may be any power source known in the art including, but not limited to, an internal combustion engine, an electric motor and so on, or a combi...

A compaction system for providing one or more compaction passes for each pass of the compaction system is provided. The compaction system includes a belt and a sun element having a first axis and positioned within the belt. The compaction system also includes a planet element engaged with the sun element and the belt. The planet element is configured to revolve around the sun element and the first axis. The belt also revolves around the sun element. Further, for every revolution of the belt around the sun element, the planet element completes one or more revolutions around the sun element.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to a compaction system for a machine, and more specifically to a rotary assembly of the compaction system.BACKGROUND[0002]Generally, compaction of soil and asphalt surfaces is performed by a compaction machine making one or more passes over the surface. In some situations, a metallic roller may be used to perform the passes of compaction. However, the metallic roller may generate cracks in the asphalt surface due to over compaction and / or a weight of the metallic roller which may eventually lead to failure of the asphalt surface. In some situations, a rubber roller may be used to perform the passes of compaction. The rubber roller may eliminate the generation of cracks in the asphalt surface. However, the rubber roller may require multiple passes, and generally more passes than the metallic roller, in order to yield a required level of compaction of the asphalt surface. Multiple machine passes are time consuming and result in lower...
