SEAT MEMBER FOR GYRATORY ROCK CRUSHER BOWLS
Background of the Invention This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a seat member for gyratory rock crusher bowls.
In my ~.S. Patent No. 4,192,472 relating to a gyratory-type rock crusher, a separate seat member is provided between the bowl of the crusher and the base for minimizing shock forces between these members and furthermore to provide a convenient method for the renewal of the support for the bowl. Because of the violent metal to metal con-tact resulting from the action of a gyratory-type crusher, mating metal surfaces of the seat with the bowl sometimes produce undesirable wear such as cold welding, gouging and cratering. This requires substantial machining, re-placement, or other methods for renewing these bearing surfaces.
_mmary of the Invention According to the present invention and forming a pri-mary objective thereof, a seat member is provided for gyratory rock crusher bowls which eliminates metal to metal contact and consequent undesirable wear, which is capable Of bearing heavy off-center thrust loads between the bowl and the base member, and which is readily and inexpensively renewed when worn.
A more particular object of the invention is to provide insert means mounted in grooves in the seat member ~203S21 which project from the grooves so as to maintain a low friction contact between the seat member and the rock crusher bowl, and furthermore to provide such insert means which are readily removable and replaceable for renewing the bearing surface.
In carrying out the function of the invention in association with a gyratory type rock crusher, the seat member is annular in configuration and is supported on the annular base of the rock crusher. The bowl of the crusher is supported on the seat member. The bowlhas a downwardly facing groove and the seat member has upwardly facing surfaces arranged to project into the groove of the load receiving member. These upwardly facing surfaces have grooves arranged to receive inserts which provide a long wearing bearing surface with the metal of the bowl. The inserts are of a thickness greater than the depth of their grooves and thus project from the grooves so as to bear against opposite walls of the groove in the bowl to main-tain the latter in a low friction supported relation.
The invention will be better understood and additional objects and advantages will become apparent from the follow-ing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
Brief Description of the Drawing Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of a portion of a gyratory rock crusher and showing a seat member therein to which the concept of the invention may be applied;
~Z03~21 Figure 2 is a cross sectional view similar to Figure 1 but greatly enlarged in scale and showing details of the invention; and Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing structure for locking the inserts in their grooves.
Detailed Description of a Preferred Embodiment With reference to the drawings and particularly to Figure 1, a gyratory rock crusher has an annular bowl 10 with a hopper portion 12 and an inturned flange 14 below its upper edge which supports a liner 16 by means of eye-bolts 18 in a conventional manner. Liner 16 is associated with a crusher head and other mechanism, not shown, opera-tive in gyratory rock crusher functions. Bowl 10 has a vertical threaded connection 20 with a bowl nut 22 and includes a top angular housing 24 bolted thereto, the peripheral portion of such housing having evenly spaced vertical projections or lugs 26 secured thereon which are engageable by power rotating means not shown.
The bowl nut 22 is a heavy duty annular member and is the load transfer connection between the inner crusher parts and the annular base 28 of the crusher. Base 28 has a top surface 30 and an integral vertical inner wall 32. Nut 22 has an annular inverted V-shaped groove 34 on its undersurface defined by opposed tapered walls 34a and 34b, the latter wall being substantially longer than wall 34a and being disposed inwardly of the crusher from wall 34a. An annular seat member 36 has a flat bottom lZ0352~
surface portion 38 freely supported on the surface 30 of the crusher base, and a depending flange portion 40 thereof projects down along the inner surface of the crusher wall 32. The upper portion of the seat memb~r 36 is tapered, having angled surfaces 42 and 44 assuming substantially the same configuration as the inverted V-shaped defining surfaces 34a and 34b,respectively, of the groove 34 in the bowl nut.
According to the invention, the surfaces 42 and 44 are provided with parallel annular grooves 46 which receive inserts 48 of a material that provides a long wearing bearing surface with the metal of the bowl nut.
The inserts 48 are of a dimension to project a short dis-tance beyond the surfaces 42 and 44 and thus maintain the metal surfaces 34a and 34b of the bowl nut off the metal surfaces 42 and 44 of the seat member. In a preferred construction, inserts 48 are square and the grooves have a width equal to the dimension of one side of the inserts.
Such grooves are shallower however so that the inserts will project therefrom. In installation, the inserts can be installed with any side out.
End to end compression holds the inserts in place on surface 44 since the latter is an inside curve. To prevent springing out of the inserts on surface 42 when the bowl nut 22 lifts off the seat member 36, referring to Figure 3, portions of the walls between the grooves 46 at spaced points around the seat member are provided with distortions 50, such as by making chisel grooves 52 in the walls between the grooves, so as to bite -- 120352~
slightly into these inserts and maintain them in place.
While this bite will assist in holding the inserts in place, the inserts can be forcefully pulled from the grooves for replacement and new ones forced into place past the distortions SO. Adhesive may also possibly be used on both surfaces if desired.
The material used for the inserts can be any material that provides a low friction bearing surface with the metal of the bowl nut. That is, the bowl nut is formed of a ferrous material and the inserts are formed of a non-ferrous material such as bronze and preferably a non-metallic material such as a hard plastic. The plastic may comprise that sold under the trade-marks Delrin or Nylon or a plastic of equivalent or better shock and wear character-istics. It may also be desirable to use bronze inserts on one of the surfaces 42 or 44 and plastic inserts on the other.
With the surface 44 substantially longer than the surface 42, the use of plastic inserts on the surface 44 and bronze in-serts on the surface 42 is an efficient and yet inexpensive arrangement.
The inserts 48 thus reduce the friction of movement that occurs in the movable support of the bowl nut 22 on the base of the crusher and thus prevent any substantial wear and eliminates cold welding, cratering and fretting from occurring between metal surfaces. The bowl nut 22 and the seat member 36 themselves do not require replacement or repair since it is merely necessary to re-place the inserts when worn. In addition to providing substantial permanent life of the bowl nut and base, as well as the seat member, the inserts allow for slight distortion or movement of the bowl nut and seat member !
12035Z~ `
and thus this joint absorbs damaging distortional and impacting forces in the machine.
Lateral stability of the bowl on the seat member 36 is maintained in part by a depending flange 58 on the bowl nut 22 which is horizontally aligned with a vertical outer edge 36a of the seat member. sy extending the con-cept of the invention an insert 60 of a material similar to that described for inserts 48 is inserted in a groove 62 in the flange 58 and projects from such groove for engagement with the seat member to prevent metal to metal contact.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herein shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention, or the scope of the subjoined claims. Although the invention has novel and particular use in combination with a gyratory rock crusher, it is to be understood that the concept thereof may have application in other structures as well, namely, in bearing areas where metal parts ordinarily have mating engagement.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
