Definitions
- the present invention concerns a crushing plant, which comprises a crusher and a drive unit driving the crusher.
- the invention also concerns a method of monitoring the operation of a crushing plant which comprises a crusher and a drive unit driving the crusher.
- a crusher for example a stone crusher, incorporated in such a crushing plant is subjected to considerable variations in load, caused by varying hardness of* the material which is to be crushed, varying size of the material and varying quantity of material fed into the crusher. These variations affect the ability ' of the crusher to crush the material optimally, i.e. to produce the greatest possible amount of crushed material per unit of time with as even a size distribution as possible.
- control system is often used to increase the effectiveness of the crusher.
- ASR PlusTM which is marketed by Svedala-Arbra AB, SE, and which is described in
- This control system is suitable for the control of gyratory crushers, for example, and has as input signals both the pressure and position of the crusher's crushing shaft and also a signal from a converter which measures the current consumption of a motor which drives the crusher.
- the crusher's crushing shaft is adjusted vertically, thus adjusting the crusher's crushing setting, in such a way that the crusher continuously gives the greatest possible production of crushed material while the size distribution is permitted to vary slightly.
- the drive motor is not an electric motor or is an electric motor which, in addition to the crusher also drives some other device, the control system cannot obtain sufficient information to be able to control the crusher.
- US 5 803 376 describes a method of controlling a mobile crusher.
- the crusher is driven by an hydraulic motor and the motor's hydraulic fluid pressure and flow rate are measured. The measured values can then give a measure of the power which the hydraulic motor develops. It is also suggested that the rpm of the output shaft of the hydraulic motor is measured.
- This method has the disadvantage that measurement of the load on the crusher is impossible if the motor is of a type other than hydraulic, or if the hydraulic motor also drives some other component in addition to the crusher.
- US 5 833 150 describes a method of controlling a mobile crusher which is driven by an hydraulic pump.
- the hydraulic pump pumps hydraulic fluid to a number of hydraulic motors, one of which drives the crusher, one drives a feeding system, one drives a discharging system, etc.
- a tachometer measures the rpm of the crusher and transmits a signal to a control system.
- the crusher's rpm does not give reliable information on the load on the crusher. The crusher's rpm will thus vary when the crusher is being started or stopped and during variations in the performance of the hydraulic motor which drives the crusher, even though such rpm variations are not caused by variations in the load on the crusher.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a crushing plant in which a drive unit of arbitrary type can be used and which has a device for the reliable measurement of the load on a crusher, no matter what type of drive unit is used.
- a crushing plant which comprises a crusher and a drive unit driving the crusher and which is characterized by the drive unit being arranged to drive a coupling which transmits power to the crusher via the output shaft of the coupling, and by the crushing plant incorporating a measuring device which is arranged to determine the torque which the output shaft transmits to the crusher. Since the torque is determined on the output side of the coupling it is possible to arrange a drive unit of arbitrary type but still determine a reliable value for the torque. This means that the crushing plant can easily be adapted to varying conditions regarding for example the supply of different fuels.
- the drive unit can also drive additional devices through a gearbox which is placed between the drive unit and the coupling whilst still permitting the determination of the power which is transmitted to the crusher itself.
- the drive unit is selected from a group which consists of internal combustion engines and hydraulic motors.
- Internal combustion engines have the advantage that they are independent of a mains electricity supply. It is thus possible to use the crushing plant in places where there is no access to a mains electricity supply.
- Particularly suitable as a drive unit is a diesel engine. Diesel engines have several advantages : the fuel is relatively inexpensive and easy to handle and the engines are robust and provide a high torque even at a relatively low, constant rpm.
- the coupling is preferably an hydraulic slipping coupling. A major advantage of a slipping hydraulic coupling is that it slips if the crusher stalls, so that the input shaft to the coupling can continue to rotate even though the crusher and the coupling's output shaft are stationary.
- the coupling can slip.
- the flow of hydraulic fluid to the coupling can for example temporarily be cut off so that the drive unit can be accelerated up to full speed before the crusher is allowed to speed up at a smooth rate.
- the slipping coupling also has major advantages during normal operation since transmission shocks and vibrations from the drive unit are not transmitted to the crusher. In the same manner, vibrations from the crusher are not transmitted to the gearbox and the drive unit.
- the measuring device is arranged to measure a first rpm with a first measuring unit, which rpm is representative for an input shaft to the coupling, and a to measure a second rpm with a second measuring unit, which rpm is representative for the output shaft.
- first measuring unit which rpm is representative for an input shaft to the coupling
- second measuring unit which rpm is representative for the output shaft.
- the coupling's input shaft and the coupling's output shaft will rotate at slightly different rpms .
- the difference in rpms depends on the load under which the crusher is operating at that particular instant. The larger the difference in rpms, the greater the power which is transmitted to the crusher.
- the measuring units which are used to measure rpms are inexpensive and give very reliable measurement data.
- the slipping coupling has a first blade wheel and a second blade wheel, said blade wheels being separated by a gap, said first measuring unit being arranged to measure the rpm of the first blade wheel and said second measuring unit being arranged to measure the rpm of the second blade wheel .
- Slipping couplings usually incorporate at least two blade wheels, which are also known as impellers, wheels, rotors, etc.
- the housing of the slipping coupling and also the gap between the blade wheels contain hydraulic fluid. The viscosity of the hydraulic fluid and the gap result in a tendency for the first blade wheel, which is powered by the drive unit, to pull the second blade wheel around with it.
- the crushing plant preferably incorporates a calculating device which is arranged in such a way that the measured rpms and a calibration curve for the coupling are used to establish the torque which the output shaft transmits to the crusher.
- the calculating device can use the rpms to calculate a value for the torque.
- the calibration curve is specific for a given coupling with a given hydraulic fluid and makes it possible to obtain a very reliable value for the torque in question.
- the calculating device can also measure very rapid changes in load, which means that faults can rapidly be corrected and damage can be avoided.
- a display device is arranged to show at least one value in a group of values which consists of the determined torque, a power calculated from the determined torque, a measured first rpm and a measured second rpm.
- the display of the values mentioned above gives an operator information about conditions in the crusher. The operator can then adjust the crusher so that the greatest possible production of crushed material is obtained within the limits prescribed for the values mentioned above. The operator can also discover faults in the crushing plant and the components which feed material and the operator also obtains an indication when the characteristics of the fed material change with respect to hardness and size, for example.
- the crusher can be a gyratory crusher, a jaw crusher, a roll crusher or an impact breaker. All of these types of crusher are driven by a drive unit and are subjected to varying loads depending on the hardness, flow rate, size, etc. of the fed material. Since the load is determined, the operation of the crusher can be improved with regard to the size of the crushed material and the amount of material which is crushed per unit of time, and damage can be avoided.
- the crushing plant preferably has a control system which is intended to control the operation of the crusher in accordance with the determined torque.
- the control system makes it possible to obtain, without manual supervision, the maximum possible production of crushed material with as even a size distribution as possible.
- the control strategy can for example include the following parameters: The rate at which material is fed, the size of the fed material which arrives after crushing in a foregoing stage, the crusher's rpm, the crusher's crushing setting, etc.
- the control system can also incorporate alarm and emergency stop functions for the avoidance of injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
- the crusher is a gyratory crusher
- the control system is arranged in such a way that it controls the crushing setting of the gyratory crusher in accordance with the determined torque and signals from pressure and position sensors arranged on the gyratory crusher.
- the crushing setting of the crusher is a critical parameter for the operation of gyratory crushers. If the crushing setting is too large, the size of the crushed material increases and if the crushing setting is too small, the output of crushed material decreases and the load on the crusher increases, with a consequent risk of stalling.
- the position sensor measures the position of the crusher's crushing shaft and indirectly the crushing setting
- the pressure sensor measures the pressure which affects the crusher's crushing shaft in the vertical direction, to prevent the ⁇ 4H .. 0 ⁇ 0 in -. in 4J
- the torque transmitted to the crusher by the output shaft can conveniently be determined from the measured rpms and a calibration curve for the coupling. This determination can be made with high precision and in real time, thus permitting the optimisation of the crusher for a very high output of crushed material per unit of time within the size limits which have been established for the crushed material .
- the crusher is a gyratory crusher, with a control system used to control the crusher's crushing setting with the help of the determined torque and signals from pressure and position sensors arranged on the crusher.
- control of the crusher's crushing setting makes it possible to optimise the operation of a gyratory crusher.
