Hurricane Mills

In hurricane wind mills there is parts or complex mechanisms. All of its parts are designed to provide a solid and simple construction, ensuring outstanding performance and long service life under extreme weather conditions.

The technique requires that a mechanism to operate without human attention, is it as simple as possible: These are therefore the principles on which is based the hurricane mill machine.

The wheel, whose rotational motion is caused by the wind, move the two pinions which are solidarity with the same axis of the wheel. The pinions cause the rotation of the gears to whose side external two connecting rods, whose function is to transform the rotary movement of the control gear in vertical motion are coupled. Through pump Rod attached to the sheave and the cradle of guides is achieved a perfectly vertical scroll.

Scheme of lubrication

As illustrated in Figure, You can see the route carrying oil to lubricate the main shaft of the machine: lubricant, Turning the wheel, It is taken up by the main shaft which poured into the bearing housing. The oil surplus is deposited in the bucket of the maza and returns it to the crankcase through the hole of return.

Remote control cradle has a ring Lubricator, that during the alternative movement distributes oil in all the mechanism of higher movements of the machine and on the fork's Guide.

Corresponding to the SAE standard oil should be used in all cases 30 and recognized quality.

For a good functioning of the system of lubrication must strictly conform to the specific amounts, too much oil is harmful, because there is a risk that lubricant is possible by the end of the Mace

The box and its protection mechanism

The machine of our mills is contained in a solid carter, covered by a galvanized sheet which puts the mechanism from dust, water and strange elements that could impair its performance.

The main shaft

The main axis on which you placed the drive wheel, It is of robust construction, made in a steel piece on two bearings rotating to balls.

pinions

Two pinions made of high quality steel, transmitting its force to two perfectly balanced regulatory gears are mounted on the main shaft, thus ensuring a tight gear with minimum wear and vibration-free.

accessible mechanism

Removing only three bolts of the bridge can be removed whole mechanism, thereby facilitating repairs without the need to lower the machine.

Motion transmission

The rotary motion of the drive wheel and the shaft turns through two connecting rods with antifriction material bushings, in vertical rectilinear motion is transmitted to the crosshead at the center of the rod which actuates the piston pump is firmly affixed. This double gear device gets a perfectly balanced distribution of the effort applied on the crosshead that drives the pumping rod. This crosshead is provided with a sheave, by double guide ensures the movement without deviation and with minimum wear.

rotating system

The rotating system has been built in the classical system, It consists of a cup with friction washer on which rests the entire machine being protected against dust, by its solid flange at the bottom of the mechanism housing. By this it allows the wheel to easily orient facing the wind with the softer or defend breeze wind gusts of hurricane force, being folded at the same time, to return to its normal position as wind speed decreases, whereby the speed of rotation of the wheel is automatically adjusted.

Lubrication

A lubrication we attach fundamental importance in the life of all parts and this is done in two ways; by constant oil bath, filling consisting of the mechanism housing with lubricant to a certain level ( 1,5 liters) and ring oiler, which automatically lubricates the top of the mechanism.

Brake

The brake, Large surface action, covers almost the entire periphery of the wheel hub and is provided with an adjustable system that allows pressure is carried out gradually until completely immobilize the wheel if you want that it does not rotate at all the mill being closed.

The wheel

In the manufacture of the wheel we have had in mind the importance of the functioning of this part.
A good conference is one that has great power to capture air currents and whose blades are constructed and positioned so that the softer breeze set in motion. The number of blades, its size, weight and angle of attack are the result of a careful study.

rays

The spokes of the wheel are of high strength steel and are screwed to the club, so that they can slacken; One tip is straight and the other slightly curved.

The rudder

Strong and lightweight, a frame mounted on special steel, It is provided with a damper for any sudden changes in wind direction. The whole mechanism is calculated for obey at any time to the action of the wind, whether to present the front wheel under normal conditions, or to fold, braking at the same time, in cases of bursts of speed exesivas.

closing

It is constructed by a set of levers which operates on a floating ring. This ring, that must be lubricated by removing the corresponding plug, exerts its action on two arms shrink attached to the machine that act directly on this and on the bridge of the vane, resulting extremely light.
