18 Claims.
This invention relates to machines especially designed for pulverizing limestone but of course adapted for pulverizing other similar materials.
The principal object of our invention is to provide a pulverizer in which virtually al1 of the internal surfaces that are subjected to wear and tear in the operation of the machine are provided on replaceabley liners which are furthermore quickly and easily accessible for removal and replacement, all of these liners being of hardened steel' with a view,toward increased eilciency of operation as well as greater durability.
Another important object of the invention lies in the use of a standard sized crossbar of rectangular cross-section as replaceable liners on all of the peripheral surfaces in the machine so that the user can purchase a quantity of thesel rip-rap, the bars in the throat and screen portions being placed with only their longitudinal edge portions exposed, but being placed throughout the rest of the machine with their broad sides exposed, and the bars being placedwith their broad sides in engagement for the throat portion and being placed with their broad sides in spaced relation for the screen portion, while in the rip-rap portion the bars are placed edge to edge but in such angular relationship that a saw tooth effect is obtained. Provision is also made in the throat portion for supporting the bars in stacked relation and so that the bars may be crowded tightly together to present a fairly smooth flat inner throat surface. Other provision is made for securing tight engagement between the liner bars of the rip-rapped portion and thesaw tooth peripheries of the replaceable side liner plates.
The invention is illustrated in the accompany- `ing drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section through a pulverizer made in accordance with our invention;
Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows;
Fig. 3 is a developed sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. l showing all of the liner bars in plan view;
Fig. 4 is a perspective of one of the spacers used in the screen portion of the machine;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of an end portion of one of the concave housing plates used in the rip-rap portion of the machine; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective of one of the adjacent replaceable side liner plates.
The same reference numerals are applied to corresponding parts throughout the views.
Referring to the drawings, the housing of the machine comprises a number of sections 1, 8, 9, Ill, II, I2, I3, and I4 assembled together between parallel end plates Il so as to form a generally cylindrical housing for the rotary hammer assembly. The sections II and I2 donot extend the length of the housing, like the other sections mentioned, so that said cylinder is provided with a large open bottom. This is clearly shown in Fig. 2. Ears I5 are formed integral with each section and there are nuts I6 on bolts I1 extended through holes in said ears and through holes in the end plates I8 serving to secure the parts together. Wear plates or liner members I9, 20, 2I, and 22 are fastened to the inside of the end plates by means or nuts 23 and bolts 24.
The hardened steel liner hars 25 provided in accordance with our invention are all of identical shape and size and hence are interchangeable. In the throat portion 25 of the housing the bars 25 are set on edge with relation to the hammer assembly and stacked in the recesses 26a and i 2Gb in housing sections I3 and I4. These bars collectively provide a smooth inner throat surrface which will not wear quickly. The set screws 21 which are spaced longitudinally of the top of the stack of bars crowd the bars tightly together-against the ilange 28 on section I3. A wedge-shaped piece 29 betweenk those bars in section I3 and those in the angularly related section I4 transmits the pressure from the upper group to the lower group. The we'ar plates I9 and 22 overlapping the ends of these bars keep them in place. l
The lower portion 30 of the housing is constructed to provide a screen. Here the bars 25 `stand on edge on the inner` edges of the housing sections II, I2, and on narrow extensions on the opposite ends of section I3, separated by means the end plates I8 and each has a laterally projecting ear 34 integral therewith. At each 'end of the inner member 33 is an outwardly projecting ear 35 stationed above the other ears 34. Bolts 31 extend through holes in the ears 34 and 35 and have nuts 36 threaded thereon which when tightened cause the parts ot the entire screen portion 3l to be drawn tightly together between the housing sections III and I3. The inner surface of member 33 serves also as a support for liner bars 25, the latter being set broad side to the hammer assembly as shown. and retained by the wear plates 2| which overlap the opposite ends of said bars.
At 38 is indicated what we call the rip-rap portion of the housing in which the bars 25 are disposed broad side to the hammer assembly but in angular relationship to one another. 'I'he bars are held at their ends between the stepped inner periphery 8a on the housing sections 8 and 9 and the stepped outer periphery 28a of the Wear plates 28. The breadth and depth of the individual steps are made to accommodate the,
In operation, the limestone or other material to be pulverized is delivered into the throat portion of the housing through the inlet opening 40 from the chute 40a. The rotating hammer assembly in the housing acts to crush the stone between the hammers and the liner bars 25 until the pieces are sufciently small to pass out through the screen section 38. The rotating hammer assembly comprises a heavy drive shaft 4| which passes through the housing and is supported in bearings as shown, and has a iiywheel 1I fixed on one end and a drive pulley 12 iixed on the other end to permit belt drive. The shaft 4l has the hammer iiang'es 43, 44, 45, and
46 keyed thereon as indicated at 42. `Each of said hammer flanges consists of a relatively broad collar surrounding shaft 4| and having a circumferential flange on one side thereof. Each of said hammer anges 43, 44, 45, and is of substantially clover leaf form providing three c ircumferentially spaced recesses 41, 48, and 49. The hammers 5U, 5l, and 52, which are provided with concave or recessed outer faces 53, 54, and 55, are mounted on the aforesaid flanges by means of pairs of pintles 56, 51, and 58, and cotter pins shown entered in holes in the opposite ends thereof, the pintles being passed through holes in the arms 59, 60, and 6|. Other holes 66, 61, and 68 are provided farther from center to receive the pintles when the hammers are to operate on a larger radius. The construction of the hammer assembly permits hammers 56,51, and 52 to swing in a wider arc than would otherwise be possible, and also permits the hammers to work closer to the shaft 4| in the event that tools or any abnormally hard materials or extra large stones are introduced into the machine by accident.
In order that easy access may be had to the interior of the housing of the machine, the riprap portion of the housing is so constructed and mounted as to constitute a door 13. 'I'he door 13 has the segmental side plates .|811 forming the side portions thereof and it therefore opens substantially all of the way to the shaft 4I. 'I'he plates I8a carry the wear plates 28 and hence when the door 13 is opened all of the bars 25 of the rip-rap portion are exposed. The door 13 is pivotally attached to the remainder of the machine by means of knuckles 14 and pintles 15.
The said door 13 is retained in a closed position 25 when reversed will expose for wear the opporsi;- site unworn edge or broad face, as the case ma'yf'. be. Thus in the strainer portion where one edge of a bar wears away at a time, three new settings are possible before the bar is no longer usable there. Moreover, inasmuch as all of the peripheral lining bars 25 are identical they may be in-l terchanged, so that when a bar has become so worn on both usable surfaces that it is no longer eilicient in one portion of the housing in which it has been employed, it may still be usable in some other portion where the requirements are different. For example, after the bars in portions 36 and 26 of the housing have become worn on their edges, they may still be employed in the rip-rap section 36 where their broad surfaces are exposed; similarly some of the worn bars 25 from the rip-rap section 38 may be subsequently employed in sections 26 and 30, depending on how they have worn. When a bar is no longer usable in any section, it is a simple and inexpensive matter to replace it. Opening. of the door 13 also gives access to the hammers 50, 5|, and 52 for -purposes of reversing or replacing them. After the surfaces receiving the brunt of the wearwith the hammers in the positions shown in the drawings have become badly worn, the rst step is to change the hammers end for end. When the newly exposed surfaces also have become worn, the pintles 56,51, 58 maybe mounted in the other holes 66, 61, and 68 whereby the worn hammers are caused to rotate on a longer radius. The said hammers may also be reversed end for end in the holes 66, 61, and 68 when that becomes n It is believed the foregoing description conveys a good understanding of the objects and advantages of my invention. The appended claims have been drawn with a view to covering all legitimate modiiications and adaptations.
