Solution Overview

Problem

Current cone crushers suffer from low crushing efficiency and rapid lining plate wear due to inadequate design of crushing cavities and lining plate structures, which fail to account for material characteristic changes during the crushing process.

Innovation Solution

A multi-stage nested material crushing cavity structure with dynamic cavity shapes and a corresponding lining plate structure, featuring laminating crushing cavities with concave-convex and wedge-shaped designs, is implemented to create a continuous crushing channel that adapts to material characteristics at different stages, enhancing crushing efficacy and prolonging lining plate service life.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a conventional inverted cone cavity structure is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the crushing efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrushing efficiencyVSAvoidcavity structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The crushing cavity is divided into multiple zones along the material discharge direction, with each zone having different geometric parameters (inclination angles, diameters, lengths) optimized for specific crushing stages. This segmentation allows the cavity to adapt to material characteristic changes during crushing, improving overall crushing efficiency while maintaining a manageable structural complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If a laminating crushing cavity structure with high rotation speed is used, then the crushing efficiency is improved, but the lining plate wears quickly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrushing efficiencyVSAvoidlining plate service life
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Different zones of the lining plate are designed with different geometric parameters and material properties. The lining plate thickness, material composition, and cavity angle vary locally to match the specific crushing conditions in each zone, distributing wear more evenly and extending service life while maintaining high crushing efficiency through optimized local structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The cavity geometry is designed to dynamically adapt to material characteristics during the crushing process. By varying cavity parameters along the discharge direction, the structure responds to changing material properties, maintaining optimal crushing conditions that reduce excessive wear while preserving high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If a V-shaped crushing cavity with simple lining plate shape is used, then the manufacturing is easy, but the material cannot be crushed selectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselective crushing capabilityVSAvoidlining plate manufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The V-shaped cavity is segmented into multiple zones with progressively varying geometric parameters. Each zone is optimized for specific crushing requirements, enabling selective crushing of different material characteristics. The segmentation is designed to balance manufacturing complexity with enhanced functional capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design transitions from a simple two-dimensional V-shape to a three-dimensional zoned structure with varying parameters along the discharge direction. This dimensional evolution enables selective crushing by creating depth-based differentiation while maintaining manufacturability through systematic parameter variation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

4Strength

If high manganese steel alloy material is used for lining plate, then the strength is high, but the shape changes quickly due to wear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelining plate strengthVSAvoidcavity shape consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The lining plate is designed with locally optimized properties, including varying thickness and material composition across different zones. This local quality approach compensates for wear-induced shape changes by creating a gradient structure that maintains cavity geometry consistency longer, while preserving the high strength characteristics of high manganese steel alloy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
