Definitions
- This invention relates to comminuting devices and more particularly to systems and processes for clearing a crusher of tramp material.
- a crusher is a machine designed to reduce larger materials such as large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, sand, and/or dust. Crushers may be used to reduce the size or change the form of waste materials. Crushing involves transferring forces amplified by mechanical advantage through robust crushing surfaces which are generally parallel or tangent to each other. Entering material is held between the crushing surfaces, and sufficient forces are applied to bring the crushing surfaces together. Energy is delivered to the material being crushed so that its molecules separate (i.e., fracture), or change alignment in relation to each other (i.e., deform).
- Gyratory crushers can be used for primary or secondary crushing and generally comprise a conical head moveable with respect to a corresponding concave in close proximity.
- the surfaces of the head and concave are typically lined with manganese steel liners.
- the head moves slightly in a small circular motion via an eccentric arrangement, but does not rotate, whereas the concave remains stationary. Entering material falls between the head and concave and resides there while it is progressively crushed until its pieces are small enough to escape through a predetermined gap between the head and concave.
- the crushing action is caused by progressive opening and closing of the predetermined gap between the head and the concave.
- Cone crushers such as the one illustrated in FIG. 1 operate similarly to gyratory crushers, however, they generally comprise less steepness in the crushing chamber and more of a parallel zone between crushing surfaces 404, 504.
- Cone crusher 1 breaks up incoming entrance feed material 602 by squeezing it between a bowl 400 having a bowl liner 402 and a wear resistant mantle 502 supported by a head 500 mounted over top of a main shaft 700.
- the head 500 comprises a head bore 507 which receives an eccentric 900 spinning around main shaft 700 by virtue of a drive shaft 800 and one or more transmission members 802, 902 (e.g., bevel gears).
- the eccentric 900 comprises a bore 907 which accepts main shaft 700.
- Main shaft 700 is received by a shaft receiving portion 307 in a main frame hub 310.
- An axis 509 of the head bore 507 is generally offset from the axis 709 of the main shaft 700 as shown.
- One or more bushings may be placed between the eccentric 900 and the head bore 507 and/or between the main shaft 700 and the eccentric bore
- Some cone and gyratory crushers comprise hydraulic tramp release systems which serve to provide overload protection and minimize damage to the crusher when tramp passes through the crushing chamber.
- Such tramp release systems generally comprise two sets of hydraulic cylinders, as shown and described in U.S. Patent No. 4,750,681.
- a first set of cylinders is activated to separate an upper crushing member from a lower crushing member and open the crushing chamber. This is generally called a clearing stroke.
- Another second set of cylinders serves to pull the upper crushing member towards the lower crushing member to close the crushing chamber so that crushing can take place.
- Having two sets of hydraulic cylinders adds to the cost, complexity, and failure mode of conventional crushers.
- an object of the invention to provide an improved crushing system which reduces the number of parts by providing dual-acting cylinders configured for both maintaining a constant crushing force between a head and mantle, and also providing a clearing stroke to facilitate passage of tramp material.
- a crusher comprises a first member such as an adjustment ring having a first mounting portion, a second member such as a main frame having a second mounting portion, a dual-acting cylinder having a body and a piston rod movably disposed in relation to said body, the body being securely mounted to the second mounting portion of the second member via a cylinder mount.
- the piston rod comprises first and second securing members, wherein the first mounting portion of the first member is captured between said first and second securing members to secure the piston rod thereto.

- the method further comprises the step of filling a second chamber of the dual-acting cylinder to provide a clearing force between said first member and said second member.
- the method may comprise the step of passing a fluid directly from the first chamber to the second chamber via a crossover tube extending between a first crossover port communicating with the first chamber and a second crossover port communicating with the second chamber.
- the method comprises the step of passing a fluid through a relief valve separating the first and second chambers.

Even more alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, a second securing member 1020 may comprise a collar 1022 which is integral with the piston rod 1030 and provided as a single unitary piece.
- hydraulic fluid such as oil is pumped through a first port 92 of the dual-acting cylinder 70, into a transfer tube 95 at T- junction 94, then past a second lower crossover port SS, subsequently through crossover tube 87, and then through the first upper crossover port 85, and finally into the first upper chamber 84.
- the first upper chamber 84 expands, pushing the piston 39 and the piston rod 30 attached thereto down towards the second end plate 80.
- the piston rod 30 moves
- Gap “G” (representing a "close size setting” for the crusher 1) generally determines the average size of the comminuted material 604, and may be adjusted by moving bowl 400 along adjusting surfaces 210, 406.
- fluid from an accumulator may be pumped into the second port 96, past relief valve 90, through second lower chamber feed channel 98, and then into the second lower chamber 86 to provide a clearing stroke to piston 39, which moves (by virtue of the piston rod 30) the adjustment ring 200, bowl 400, and bowl liner 402 far enough away from the mantle 502 to allow tramp material to pass therebetween.
- collar 22 contacts, supports, and urges the mounting portion 202 of the adjustment ring 200 upward.
- the bowl 400 and bowl liner 402 are moved upward to widen the predetermined gap "G" between bowl liner 402 and mantle 502.
- contact between the mounting portion 202 and collar 22 may improved by providing a self- centering/self-seating frustoconical, tapered, or spherical upper surface to the collar 22 which is configured to mate with a corresponding frustoconical, tapered, or spherical lower surface on mounting portion 202 (e.g., provided on a tapered counterbore within opening 204).
- tramp material enters into the crusher 1 between the mantle 502 and bowl liner 402
- an inherent increase in reaction forces between the bowl 400 and head 500 is experienced and pressure builds in the first upper chamber until it exceeds a predetermined blow off pressure regulated by relief valve 90.
- hydraulic fluid automatically flows from the first upper chamber 84, through the first upper crossover port 85, subsequently through crossover tube 87, and then past the second lower crossover port 88, along transfer tube 95, through relief valve 90, out the second lower chamber feed channel 98, and finally into the second lower chamber 86.
- the piston 39 moves piston rod 30 upwards until collar 22 contacts a lower surface of the mounting portion 202, thereby pushing the adjustment ring 200, bowl 400, and bowl liner 402 upwards away from the mantle 502. As the bowl liner 402 moves away from the mantle 502, tramp is allowed to pass through the crusher 1 without mechanical overload.

If used, fasteners may communicate with one or more corresponding receiving portions located within mounting portion 1302. Receiving portions (not shown) may comprise threaded apertures, but may also comprise grooves, tracks, protrusions, or recesses which correspond to
- lip 1043 may comprise one or more bearing surfaces or features (e.g., conical, spherical, or tapered centering geometries), but may be generally planar as shown, in order to allow the cylinder 1070 small amounts of sideways movement.
- a centering portion 1042 may also be integrally provided to an upper portion of the support 1044 adjacent the mounting portion 1302 of the main frame 1300 to assist with self-seating and re-seating of the cylinder 1070 after a clearing stroke and during normal crushing operation.
- a centering bushing 1048 may also be provided within the support 1044 which contacts bearing surfaces on the lip 1043 and/or centering portion 1042.
