Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of material classification equipment, specifically relating to a central feeding classifier drive system for use in vertical mill classifiers. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical roller mill classifier mainly consists of several parts: feeding, classifying, discharging, and transmission. Different types of classifiers require different transmission mechanisms based on their structural form and operating conditions; this requires careful consideration of factors such as equipment stability, reliability, and economy. Materials ground by vertical roller mills generally include pulverized coal, cement raw materials, cement meal, slag, and sandstone. Different vertical roller mills and matching classifiers are selected based on material characteristics and product output requirements. Medium and small-sized classifiers typically use a center-feed method, which prevents material accumulation, as seen in coal mill classifiers. Large-sized classifiers, such as those used for cement raw meal and clinker vertical roller mills, generally use a chute-feed method.

[0003] Due to structural limitations, center-feed air classifiers, considering the characteristics of gear drives, chain drives, and belt drives, ultimately choose belt drives. Belt drives offer advantages such as a larger center distance, low noise, simple structure, easy installation, flexible connection, low cost, easy maintenance, and high transmission efficiency. The drive end uses a variable frequency motor directly connected to a small pulley. However, also due to structural limitations, these air classifiers are typically low-torque. For high-torque center-feed air classifiers, structural and cost constraints preclude the use of a direct-drive variable frequency motor, leading to reduced drive reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of high-torque center-feed classifiers, which cannot use direct-drive variable frequency motors, resulting in reduced drive reliability. This invention provides a center-feed classifier drive system that meets the drive requirements of high-torque center-feed classifiers, thereby improving production safety and reliability.

The lifting lug bolt 401 is mounted on the drive device 1 via the positioning pin 403. The lifting lug bolt 401 is also mounted on the upper housing of the classifier via the adjusting nut 402. The belt tension is achieved by adjusting the adjusting nut 402. The protective cover 205 includes a left upper pressure cover 2051, a right upper pressure cover 2052, a left half 2054, and a right half 2053. The adjusting bolt 107 is mounted on the drive base 105. The adjusting bolt 107 includes bolts for adjusting the left and right spacing and bolts for adjusting the alignment of the front and rear center faces. The housing sealing device 3 is equipped with an air interface flange 305, an inspection door 307, and an observation door 310. The large pulley 201 is equipped with a ring of signal blocks 309. The inner cavity of the housing 302 is equipped with a proximity switch 308.

[0033] The air classifier in this center uses a belt drive system. The drive motor 101 and reducer 103 are both mounted on the drive base 105. Adjusting the shims 106 ensures the centerlines of the motor and reducer are on the same horizontal plane.

When the large pulley 201 operates, it drives the signal blocks 309 to rotate. The proximity switch 308 can detect periodic pulse signals. The number of signal blocks 309 corresponds to the number of pulse signals per rotation. By detecting the number of pulse signals over a fixed period, the rotational speed is converted and compared with the rotational speed converted from the frequency of the variable frequency motor, thus determining whether slippage has occurred. The housing 302 is designed with an inspection door 307 and an observation door 310, which can be used to observe the working wear condition of the large pulley 201 and multiple sets of belts 203, and can also be used to assist in replacing multiple sets of belts 203 and disassembling and assembling the proximity switch 308.
