  1. Blue Diamond Machinery Skid-Steer Rock Saw Drive Train Modification by Team Members Kelly Hogue Kristen Tucker Matthew Gassen Buck Melton Prepared for CONEQTEC Universal and Senior Design - BAE 4022

  2. Project Sponsor • CONEQTEC Universal • Skid steer attachment manufacturer • President Gary Cochran

  3. Mission Statement • Blue Diamond Machinery strives to improve products by implementing high quality designs, increasing efficiency, and surpassing the demands of our clients.

  4. Cutting depth is less than the wheel radius To increase depth of cut, the diameter of the blade must increase, therefore, increasing the overall dimensions and weight of the attachment Production Model Provided by CONEQTEC

  5. Patent Search • Slashing Loader – Ring & Pinion Gears • Tree Harvester – Saw Blade • Power Saw – Gears, Blade • Concrete Saw – Debris Removal

  6. CONEQTEC Rock Saw Prototype Provided by Coneqtec

  7. Features of CONEQTEC Prototype • Depth of cut > wheel radius • 18 inches deep, 2.5 inches wide • Powered by hi-flow hydraulic system • 89 hhp input to attachment • Attachment is laterally adjustable

  8. Hydraulic System Specifications

  9. Uses • More versatile than a trencher • Cut anything other than reinforced concrete • Install fiber optics, plumbing, etc…. Under existing roadways/sidewalks • Install cement curbs on asphalt roadways

  10. CONEQTEC Prototype Demonstration

  11. Problem Statement • Increase cutting depth to greater than blade radius • Modify CONEQTEC prototype to increase useful life • Prevent hydraulic motors from running in debris piles

  12. Statement of Work • Increase useful life of the saw from less than 50 hrs to over 100 hrs. • Current limiting factor is the high rate of wear on the ring gear teeth.

  13. Statement of Work: Gear Mesh Redesign gear mesh • Initial design • Protruding ring gear teeth mesh with cylindrical pinion gear teeth. • Alternative design • Acme pinion gears mesh into ring gear holes.

  14. Gear Mesh Calculator • Used to calculate gear sizes, gear ratios, and gear hole spacing • Three independent variables chosen by user • Warning/Approval messages indicate if gear hole spacing is sufficient

  15. A D Gear Specifications • 2 Gears – 7 teeth • 3/4” thick steel • 1/4” spacing between gears • Top Gear • Dedendum circle diameter (D): 6.16” • Addendum circle diameter (A): 8.08” • Bottom Gear • Dedendum circle diameter (D): 5.76” • Addendum circle diameter (A): 7.62”

  16. Wheel and Gear Specifications

  17. Ring Gear Evolution CONEQTEC PROTOTYPE BDM PROTOTYPE BDM PROTOTYPE INSERT PROGRESSION

  18. Final Ring Gear Design • Gear holes cut into the wheel • Inserts used to prevent wear on gear holes • Bar Stock: 3/4” x 3” • Key Stock: 1/4” x 3/4” x 3” • Retainer plates – 3/8” thick • Bolted on one side • Welded on opposite side • Flat head socket cap screws 3/8” x 3/4”

  19. BDM Gear Mesh Demonstration

  20. Statement of Work: Motors • Prevent hydraulic motors from running in debris

  21. Motor Repositioning Rotate motors into a vertical position by mounting above the wheel. CONEQTEC Prototype BDM Prototype

  22. BDM Rock Saw Prototype Fully Descended Fully Recessed

  23. Budget

  24. Recommendations • Replace gear shafts by using hydraulic motors with wheel mount flange • Make motors vertically and laterally adjustable to allow for gear adjustability • Attach a front debris flap for added safety • Holes could be added to outer frame to reduce weight and increase ease of maintenance

  25. Recognitions • Gary Cochran – CONEQTEC Universal • Dennis Skraba – CONEQTEC Universal • Dr. Paul Weckler – OSU BAE Senior Design Professor and Advisor • Wayne Kiner – OSU BAE Laboratory Manager • Bobby Flores, Robert Harrington, and Robert Harshman – OSU BAE Laboratory • Stillwater Steel – Fabrication • Steve Miller – Interstate Tool – Fabrication • Railroad Yard – Fabrication
