Definitions

  • This invention relates to a horizontal shaft impact crusher having a curtain, mounted on a pivot shaft, against which material accelerated by an impeller can be crushed in which the crusher is provided with an impact relief system at the pivot shaft for relieving impact loads on the curtain.
  • Horizontal shaft impact crushers are utilized in many applications for crushing hard material such as pieces of rock, ore etc.
  • a horizontal shaft impact crusher is generally made up of a housing having an inlet for material to be crushed, an outlet for material that has been crushed, an impeller, mounted on a horizontal shaft in the crusher housing, operative for rotating around a horizontal axis, a curtain mounted between pivot points against which material accelerated by the impeller may be crushed, and an adjustment bar for adjusting the position of said curtain relative to the impeller.
  • Pieces of rock are fed towards the impeller and are struck by beater elements mounted on the impeller. The pieces of rock are disintegrated by being struck by the beater elements and are accelerated and thrown against the curtains where further disintegration occurs.
  • the action of the impeller thus causes the material fed to the horizontal shaft impact crusher to move freely in a crushing chamber and to be crushed upon impact against the beater elements, against the curtains, and against other pieces of material moving around at high speed in the crushing chamber.
  • the curtains are exposed to significant impact forces from the pieces of rock that are thrown against the curtains or from oversized material which can result in damage to the curtains and associated elements.
  • horizontal impact crushers can be provided with impact relief systems to mitigate the impact forces.
  • the known impact relief systems are typically made up of shock absorbers which absorb impact forces at the curtains by being disposed generally perpendicular to the curtains towards the rear of the crusher.
  • this configuration inhibits access to the crusher for servicing which is generally performed via the rear of the crusher.
  • the known impact relief systems occupy considerable space and increase the crusher footprint required to open and close the crusher housing.
  • An object of the invention is to overcome at least some of the problems of the prior art.
  • a horizontal shaft impact crusher comprising:
  • the shock absorber is configured to be in line or contiguous with the pivot point axis. This configuration optimises the available space in the impact crusher and minimises the required crusher footprint.
  • the shock absorber is configured to be in contact with the pivot shaft. Impact pressures on the pivot shaft are therefore resisted effectively.
  • the shock absorber is in contact with the pivot shaft towards a free end of the pivot shaft.
  • the impact relief system can therefore be easily incorporated into the crusher.
  • the free end of the pivot shaft extends beyond the crusher housing. This provides ease of access to the pivot shaft for the impact relief system.
  • the shock absorber is fixed to the crusher via a shock absorber mounting to resist movement of the pivot shaft under impact loads.
  • the shock absorber mounting therefore supports the shock absorber in place on the crusher.
  • the shock absorber mounting is fixed to the crusher housing.
  • the crusher housing therefore holds the shock absorber mounting in place.
  • the shock absorber mounting comprises a shock absorber housing surrounding the shock absorber.
  • the shock absorber is therefore contained within the shock absorber housing.
  • the shock absorber housing is fixed to the crusher housing at a fixed ring secured to the housing.
  • the fixed ring and the shock absorber housing are therefore maintained in a stationary position in use.
  • the shock absorber housing has a non-circular cross-sectional shape.
  • the non-circular cross-sectional shape therefore resists rotational movement in the fixed ring.
  • the pivot shaft free end of the pivot shaft has a non-circular cross-sectional shape.
  • the pivot shaft free end therefore complements the shock absorber housing.
  • the shock absorber comprises a spring.
  • a spring shock absorber is highly effective at resisting impacts.
  • the spring comprises a torsion spring.
  • a torsion spring is a compact spring and assists in minimising the space occupied by the impact relief system.
  • the torsion spring is a rubber torsion spring.
  • Rubber is a particularly suitable material for a torsion spring.
  • the torsion spring is configured to surround the pivot shaft. By surrounding the pivot shaft, the torsion spring assists in resisting impact loads from all directions.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a horizontal shaft impact crusher 10 provided with impact relief systems 20 of the invention.
  • the horizontal shaft impact crusher 10 comprises a housing 15 having an inlet 30 for receiving material to be crushed, an outlet 40 for material that has been crushed and an impeller 50 within the housing 15.
  • a crusher motor not illustrated for reasons of maintaining clarity of illustration, is operative for rotating a horizontal shaft 60 on which the impeller 50 is mounted.
  • the impeller 50 may rotate around the shaft 60. In either case, the impeller 50 is operative for rotating around a horizontal axis, coinciding with the centre of the horizontal shaft 60.
  • the housing 15 is provided with a plurality of wear protection plates 16 that are operative for protecting the walls of the housing 15 from abrasion and from impact by the material to be crushed. Furthermore, the housing 15 comprises a bearing 61 for the horizontal shaft 60. A lower feed plate (not shown) and an upper feed plate (not shown) are arranged at the inlet 30. The feed plates are operative for providing the material fed to the crusher 10 with a suitable direction with respect to the impeller 50.
  • the housing 15 houses a first upper curtain 70, and a second lower curtain 80.
  • Each curtain 70,80 comprises at least one wear plate 73,83 against which material may be crushed.
  • the illustrated impeller 50 has four beater elements 51, each such beater element 51 having a bent shape, as shown particularly in Figure 1 .
  • the area formed between the impeller 50 and the first and second curtains 70,80 can be called a crushing chamber 11 of the crusher 10.
  • An upper end 71 of the first curtain 70 is mounted on a horizontal first pivot shaft 90 extending between first and second oppositely disposed pivot points 110,120 defined by respective openings 111,121 in the housing 15 so that the first pivot shaft 90 is suspended in the housing 15 and can pivot or rotate about a longitudinal and horizontal curtain shaft pivot point axis 150 defined between the pivot points 110,120.
  • an upper end 81 of the lower curtain 80 is mounted on a horizontal second pivot shaft 100 extending between first and second pivot points 130,140 defined by respective openings 131,141 so that the second pivot shaft 100 is also suspended in the housing 15 and can pivot or rotate about a longitudinal and horizontal curtain shaft pivot point axis 160 defined between the pivot points 130,140.
  • Material to be crushed first reaches the first curtain 70, being located upstream of the second curtain 80 as seen with respect to the direction of travel of the material.
  • the material is directed towards the impeller 50 rotating at, typically, 400-850 rpm.
  • the material is hit by the beater elements 51 it is crushed and accelerated against the wear plates 73 of the first curtain 70 where further crushing occurs.
  • the material bounces back from the first curtain 70 and is crushed further against material travelling in the opposite direction and, again, against the beater elements 51.
  • the material has been crushed to a sufficiently small size it moves further down the crusher chamber 11 and is accelerated, by means of the beater elements 51, towards the wear plates 83 of the second curtain 80, being located downstream of the first curtain 70.
  • the material moves freely around in the crushing chamber 11 and is crushed against the beater elements 51, against the wear plates 73,83 respectively of the curtains 70,80 and against other pieces of material circling around, at a high velocity, in the crusher 10.
  • an impact relief system 20 is provided in proximity with the pivot point axes 150,160 to mitigate impact forces on the upper and lower curtains 70,80.
  • the impact relief system 20 is made up of a shock absorber 170 such as a spring or springs 180 (hereinafter referred to as a spring 180) disposed in line (i.e. parallel) or contiguous with the pivot point axes 150,160 e.g. the spring 180 can be made up of a body 190 disposed in line with the pivot point axes 150,160.
  • the first pivot shaft 90 extends beyond the openings 111,121 in the housing 15 to define first and second free ends 200,210 of the first pivot shaft 90 and an impact relief system 20 is provided at both the first free end 200 and the second free end 210.
  • the second pivot shaft 100 extends beyond openings 121,131 in the housing 15 to define first and second free ends 220,230 of the second pivot shaft 100 and an impact relief system 20 is provided at the first free end 220 and the second free end 230.
  • an impact relief system 20 can be provided at either free end 200,210 and 220,230 of the pivot shafts 90,100 respectively as required.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show enlarged views of the impact relief system 20 of Figures 1 and 2 at the free end 200 of the pivot shaft 90 - the impact relief system 20 at the opposite free end 210 of the pivot shaft 90 being identical in configuration.
  • impact relief systems 20 provided at the free ends 220,230 of the pivot shaft 100 are identical in construction to the impact relief system 20 described in more detail below.
  • the impact relief system 20 is configured to be in line or contiguous with the pivot point axis 150 and is in the form of a shock absorber 170 in contact with the pivot shaft 90 towards the free end 200 of the pivot shaft 90 which extends beyond the crusher housing 15.
  • the impact relief system 20 is generally made up of a shock absorber 170 in the form of a spring 180 which surrounds the pivot shaft 90.
  • the spring 180 can be a torsion spring 270 such as rubber torsion spring 270.
  • the longitudinal axis of the torsion spring 270 is in line and contiguous with the pivot point axis 150 of the pivot shaft 90 and is fixed to the crusher 10 via a shock absorber mounting 240 which is fixed to the crusher housing 15.
  • the shock absorber mounting 240 together with the torsion spring 270 resist movement of the pivot shaft 90 under impact loads.
  • the shock absorber mounting 240 is made up of a tubular shock absorber housing 250 having a crusher housing end 251 surrounding the pivot shaft opening 111 in the housing 15 and an opposite open end 252.
  • the shock absorber housing 250 is shaped and configured to have a non-circular cross-section and more particularly a rectangular cross-section such as a square cross-section as shown in the drawings.
  • the free end 200 of the pivot shaft 90 is sized, shaped and configured to have a rectangular shape, such as a square shape as shown in the drawings, which is offset with respect to the rectangular shape of the outer shock absorber housing 240 to define elongate channels 280 around the pivot shaft 90 to accommodate the torsion spring 270.
  • the shock absorber mounting 240 is further made up of an outer fixed annular ring 290 surrounding the shock absorber housing 250 and extending between the shock absorber housing 250 and the housing 15 to prevent rotational movement of the shock absorber housing 250 so that the shock absorber housing 250 remains static.
  • the annular ring 290 is provided with a rectangular central opening 291 sized and shaped to receive the shock absorber housing 250 in a complementary fit.
  • the annular ring 290 is fixed to the housing 15 via bolts 292 inserted in an outer flange 293 of the annular ring 290.
  • the torsion spring 270 relieves impact loads on the pivot shaft 90 and the hence the upper curtain 70 by resisting rotational movement of the pivot shaft 90.
  • resistance to rotational movement of the pivot shaft 90 is reinforced by the shock absorber housing 250 being maintained in a fixed stationary position by the outer fixed annular ring 290 while resistance to movement of the pivot shaft 90 and the upper curtain 70 is optimised by locating the torsion spring 270 in proximity to the curtain shaft pivot point axis 150.
