Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reverse crusher technology, and in particular to a reverse crusher and its rotor locking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In mining, construction, and resource recycling, crushers serve as key equipment, undertaking the crucial task of material crushing and processing. Impact crushers are widely used in mines, quarries, and construction waste treatment. However, existing impact crushers present a safety hazard that urgently needs to be addressed. During shutdown maintenance, troubleshooting jams, or routine upkeep, the rotor continues to rotate due to mechanical inertia and other factors. This uncontrolled rotor rotation can easily cause serious mechanical injuries to workers operating near the equipment, significantly threatening their personal safety and impacting the efficiency of equipment maintenance and troubleshooting. Therefore, effectively preventing rotor rotation in non-operating states and ensuring worker safety has become a crucial area for improvement and refinement in the field of impact crusher technology.

The embodiments of this utility model will now be described based on its overall structure.

[0024] See Figure 1 A rotor locking mechanism for an anti-crusher includes a rotor assembly 1 and a bearing assembly 2.

[0025] The rotor assembly 1 includes a rotor 11 and a turntable 12 connected to the rotor 11. A hammer 13 is connected to the turntable 12. The rotor 11 is rotatably installed in the crushing chamber of the crusher. A threaded hole 110 is provided on the rotor 11. The rotor 11 is driven to run by a belt mechanism.

[0026] The bearing assembly 2 includes a bearing housing 21, a bearing end cover 22 connected to the bearing housing 21, and a bearing body disposed within the bearing housing 21. The bearing assembly 2 is located outside the crushing chamber of the reverse crusher, and the bearing end cover 22 is provided with an arc-shaped elongated hole 220.

[0027] A detachable fixing bolt 330 is connected between the threaded hole 110 and the arc-shaped elongated hole 220.

[0028] The rotor 11 is fixed to the bearing end cover 22 by fixing bolts 330, so that the rotor 11 is in a state where it cannot rotate. When the crusher is stopped, stuck, or under maintenance, the rotor 11 is prevented from rotating, thereby preventing injury to the operators caused by the rotor 11 rotating.

[0029] To verify whether the fixing bolts can truly fix the rotor 11 to the bearing end cover 22 without causing it to rotate, a specific implementation method is used for verification, as follows:

[0030] In one specific implementation, the self-weight of the turntable and the four hammers is m = 4246 kg. At this point, the gravity on the rotor is evenly distributed, and the center of gravity is centered above the rotor's center of gravity axis. The weight of a single hammer is 395 kg.

[0031] Considering extreme conditions, such as wear or failure of a single hammer plate, the rotor's self-weight is m1 = 4246 - 395 = 3851 kg. The rotor's center of gravity shifts, generating a lever arm of L1 = 31 mm = 0.031 m. The torque generated by the entire rotor's rotation due to the failure of the single hammer plate is:

[0032] M1=(m1)*g*(L1)=3851*9.8*0.031≈1170N.m.

[0033] At this point, the selection of the fixing bolt 330 is based on the bolt's preload, choosing a fixing bolt 330 that can lock the rotor under extreme conditions, as shown in Table 6-4 below.

[0034] 6-4 Preload F0 of steel bolts for general connections

[0035]

[0036] According to Table 6-4 above, the preload of grade 12.9 M16 is F0 = 120.9 KN = 120900 N. Since the rotor is fixed by bolts and washers, the coefficient of friction between the bolts and washers is μ = 0.3, as shown in the table below.

[0037] Table 6-2 Tightening Torque Coefficient K

[0038]

[0039] Among them, the lever arm L2 between the locking bolt and the central spindle is 72.5mm = 0.0725m. It can be known that the frictional force generated by the locking screw, washer and locking surface is: F1 = (F0) * μ = 120900 * 0.3 = 36270N.

[0040] The torque generated by the locking bolt washer is M2 = (F1) * (L2) = 36270 * 0.0725 ≈ 2630 N·m.

[0041] As can be seen from the above, under extreme conditions, the torque M1 caused by the imbalance due to the failure of the hammer plate is less than the torque M2 caused by the locking bolt washer. The safety factor ratio i = M2 / M1 = 2630 / 1170 ≈ 2.25. Therefore, even under extreme conditions, the rotor can be fixed with M16 bolts of grade 12.9.

[0042] As shown in Tables 6-4 and 6-2, the bolts currently selected are M16 bolts of grade 12.9, with a preload of 120900 N and a friction coefficient of 0.21 for the washer. According to the tightening torque formula T2=K*F0*d, T2=0.21*120900*0.016≈406N.m can be calculated.

[0043] A normal adult can provide a force of about 500N. According to the formula M=L*F, the length of the wrench required for a single adult to clamp the rotor by tightening the bolt is L=M / F=406 / 500≈0.812m.

[0044] In summary, a single adult holding a 0.812m long wrench can lock the rotor from rotating by tightening a 12.9 grade M16 bolt.

[0045] The above provides a specific embodiment. It should be understood that, depending on the actual situation of the rotor of the anti-crusher, the corresponding fixing bolts, threaded holes, and arc-shaped elongated holes should also fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the number of the arc-shaped elongated holes 220 is three, and the three arc-shaped elongated holes 220 are arranged in a circular array on the bearing end cover 22.

[0047] This embodiment also provides a reverse crusher, including the reverse crusher rotor locking mechanism described above.

[0048] The reverse crusher includes a casing 3, on which a feed port 30, a crushing chamber 31 and a discharge port 32 are provided. The feed port 30 and the discharge port 31 are respectively connected to the crushing chamber 31.

[0049] The crushing chamber 31 is connected to an impact frame 4, and an impact plate 5 is connected to the impact frame 4. The casing 3 is provided with a mounting hole, and an impact frame adjustment mechanism 6 is connected to the mounting hole. The impact frame adjustment mechanism 6 is connected to the impact frame 4.

[0050] During the operation of the impact crusher, the high-speed rotation of the rotor assembly 1 generates a powerful kinetic energy field. Material enters the crushing chamber 31 through the feed inlet 30 and moves towards the discharge outlet 31 along the gap between the impact plate 5 and the rotor assembly 1. In this process, the material is first initially crushed by the impact of the high-speed rotating rotor assembly 1, and then thrown against the impact plate 5, where it undergoes secondary impact crushing. The rebounded material returns to the rotor assembly 1 area for tertiary crushing, while also experiencing mutual impact crushing between materials. This cycle of "impact-rebound-re-crushing" is repeated continuously until the material reaches the predetermined particle size and is finally discharged through the discharge outlet 31.

[0051] The impact frame adjustment mechanism 6 is used to change the gap between the impact plate 5 and the rotor assembly 1 to obtain the required discharge particle size.

[0052] Inspection doors 34 are provided on the side and top of the housing 3.

[0053] The housing 3 includes a base 35 and an upper shell 36, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the base 35.

[0054] Two auxiliary opening mechanisms 7 are connected to the base 35, and the two auxiliary opening mechanisms 7 are located on both sides of the housing 3. When the upper shell 36 is opened, both auxiliary opening mechanisms 7 must operate simultaneously to prevent damage to the upper shell 3 due to inconsistency between the two mechanisms.

[0055] In summary, the present invention provides an impact crusher and its rotor locking mechanism. A threaded hole is provided on the rotor in the rotor assembly of the impact crusher, and an arc-shaped elongated hole is provided on the bearing end cover of the bearing assembly of the impact crusher. The rotor is fixed to the bearing end cover by fixing bolts, which prevents the rotor of the impact crusher from rotating on its own when it is not working, ensures the safety of the staff, and improves the efficiency of equipment maintenance and fault handling.

[0056] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
