Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is specifically a discharge port adjustment mechanism for a cone crusher, and relates to the field of cone crusher technology. Background Technology

[0002] The core components of a cone crusher are the eccentric main shaft, the moving cone liner, and the fixed cone liner. The eccentric main shaft causes the moving cone liner to rotate eccentrically, thereby crushing the material through compression. After a period of operation, the discharge opening size between the moving and fixed cone liners will increase due to wear. At this time, it is necessary to raise and lower the fixed cone liner to adjust the discharge opening size. Currently, existing cone crushers adjust the discharge opening size through a motor, gear ring, and threaded structure, which has the drawbacks of complex structure and high manufacturing cost. In addition, existing cone crushers use springs to connect the upper and lower frames to reduce the crushing impact. According to design requirements, the springs need to have high rigidity, but it has been found that the springs are prone to breakage during use, which greatly affects the smooth operation of production.

[0015] A discharge port adjustment mechanism for a cone crusher is disclosed, relating to the field of cone crushers, primarily to address the problems of complex discharge port adjustment structures and easy spring breakage in existing technologies. The composition and working principle of this cone crusher discharge port adjustment mechanism are described in detail below.

[0016] See attached document Figure 1-3This cone crusher mainly consists of an upper frame 1, a lower frame 2, a moving cone liner 3, and a fixed cone liner 4. The lower frame 2 has eight spline grooves along its circumference. The upper frame 1 has a spline key 11 that mates with the spline grooves. A hydraulic cylinder 6 and a height adjustment block 5 are located between the spline key 11 and the lower frame 2. The mating structure of the spline grooves and the spline key 11 prevents the upper frame 1 from rotating relative to the lower frame 2, allowing only vertical movement of the upper frame 1 relative to the lower frame 2.

[0017] Specifically, the hydraulic cylinder 6 consists of a cylinder body 61, a piston rod 62, a spring 63, and a damper 64. The top end of the piston rod 62 is screwed to the keyway 11, and the bottom end of the cylinder body 61 is hinged to the lower frame 2. The spring 63 is located in the upper chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 6, and the damper 64 is connected to the upper chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 6. The lower chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to the oil pump 7. Normally, the oil pump 7 is not working, and the lower chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is open to the outside atmosphere. The function of the spring is to apply a downward preload to the upper frame 1 through the piston rod 62, so that the height adjusting block 5 is pressed tightly between the upper frame 1 and the lower frame 2, thereby forming a minimum gap between the moving cone liner 3 and the fixed cone liner 4. This gap is the size K of the discharge port. Another function of the spring is that when encountering hard materials that cannot be crushed, the contraction of the spring 63 can move the fixed cone liner 4 upward, thereby providing overload protection for the cone crusher.

[0018] According to the design requirements of existing cone crushers, the springs need to have high rigidity. If the spring rigidity is too low, the discharge opening size K will increase when encountering slightly harder materials, failing to guarantee the crushed particle size. However, high rigidity can cause the spring to break brittlely, affecting production. To solve the problem of easy spring breakage, this invention uses a spring 63 with lower rigidity, but uses a damper 64 to compensate for the insufficient rigidity of the spring 63, ensuring that the preload applied by the entire cylinder 6 to the upper frame 1 meets the design requirements.

[0019] Dampers are existing technology and are widely used in shock absorbers and gas springs. In this embodiment, a damping orifice 641 and a nitrogen tank 642 are provided inside the damper 64. When the piston rod 62 moves upward, nitrogen in the upper chamber of the cylinder 6 enters the nitrogen tank 642 through the damping orifice 641. Due to the small diameter of the damping orifice 641, the flow velocity of nitrogen in the damping orifice 641 is very high, which provides rigid damping for the upward movement of the piston rod 62, effectively increasing the stiffness of the spring 63. When the piston rod 62 moves downward, nitrogen in the nitrogen tank 642 enters the upper chamber of the cylinder 6 through the damping orifice 641, providing a buffering effect for the downward movement of the spring 63 and the piston rod 62.

[0020] The height adjustment block 5 is composed of multiple pairs of stepped blocks 51, each stepped block 51 having multiple steps of equal height, each step being 0.5-2mm high. In this embodiment, each set of height adjustment blocks 5 is composed of four pairs of stepped blocks 51, each step being 1mm high. When it is necessary to adjust the size K of the discharge port, oil is supplied to the lower chamber of the oil cylinder 6 through the oil pump 7, which in turn lifts the upper frame 1 upwards through the upward movement of the piston rod 62. At this time, it is only necessary to rearrange the stepped blocks 51 to a suitable height. Then, the oil pump 7 is turned off, allowing the lower chamber of the oil cylinder 6 to reconnect with the outside atmosphere. At this time, the oil cylinder 6 applies downward preload to the upper frame 1 again.

[0021] In summary, the discharge port adjustment mechanism of this cone crusher has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation, low processing difficulty, and low manufacturing cost. This cone crusher uses a damper to compensate for the insufficient rigidity of the spring, thus solving the problem of spring breakage while ensuring preload and rigidity.

[0022] It is worth noting that the content not described in detail in the above embodiments is prior art. It is also worth noting that any additions, subtractions, substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the structure and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
