Solution Overview

Problem

Existing roll crushers with movable screening devices require a separate drive motor and have a complex design, limiting their compactness and increasing costs.

Innovation Solution

The screening device is supported on a stationary abutment and the crusher roller, utilizing the roller's movement to create a shaking motion, eliminating the need for a separate drive motor and allowing for a more compact design.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a separate drive motor is used to operate the screening device, then the screening function can be performed, but the device complexity increases and installation space requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreening device operationVSAvoiddrive system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The screening device is designed to be self-driven by utilizing the rotational movement of the crusher roller itself. The roller's rotation automatically causes the screening device to vibrate and perform its screening function, eliminating the need for a separate drive motor and reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The crusher roller serves multiple functions: it performs the primary crushing function and simultaneously drives the screening device through its rotational movement. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed and simplifies the overall system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If a separate drive motor is installed above the crushing roller, then the screening device can be driven, but the installation space requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreening device driveVSAvoidinstallation space above roller
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The screening device uses the existing rotational energy of the crusher roller to drive its vibration and screening action, eliminating the need for a separate drive motor that would occupy space above the roller.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The driving function for the screening device is merged with the crusher roller's rotational movement. The roller's rotation directly translates into vibrational motion for the screening device, combining two functions into one mechanical system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If the screening device is vibrated using an external drive, then screening performance improves, but the construction complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreening performanceVSAvoidvibration drive system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The screening device utilizes mechanical vibration generated by the crusher roller's rotation to improve screening performance. The roller's rotational movement creates vibrational forces that prevent material accumulation on the screen and enhance particle separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration

Solution Approach 2:

The vibration function is achieved self-service style by using the roller's own rotational energy to generate the necessary vibrational forces for effective screening, without requiring an external vibration drive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
