Replaceable blade piece and blade piece holder of a working cylinder of a screen crusher

Abstract

The invention relates to a replaceable blade piece of a working cylinder of a screen crusher. A blade piecehas a frame portion and a blade portion, the longitudinally opposite front surfaces of which form work surfaces. The frame portion has a through hole extending in the longitudinal direction of the blade portion. A channel-like section is formed on opposite sides of the frame portion containing the hole and extends in the vertical direction of a frame portion, between the edge areas of the side with the hole. The invention further relates to a replaceable blade piece holder having a U-shaped frame portion including arm portions, through which extends a longitudinal hole of the frame portion, and a bottom portion. On the opposite surfaces of the arm portions, onto their middle area is formed a bulge, which extends in the vertical direction of the arm portion.

Description

(1) In the following, the invention is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying figures, in which:

(2) FIGS. 1-3 show a preferred embodiment of a blade piece according to the invention diagrammatically as an oblique view seen from above, as a view seen from directly in front and as an oblique view seen from below, respectively,

(3) FIGS. 4-6 show the blade piece of FIGS. 1-3 correspondingly as a view seen from below, as a view seen from the side and as a view seen from above,

(4) FIGS. 7-9 show a preferred embodiment of a blade piece holder according to the invention diagrammatically as an oblique view seen from above, as a view seen directly in front and as an oblique view seen from below, respectively,

(5) FIGS. 10-12 show the holder of FIGS. 7-9 correspondingly as a view seen from below, as a view seen from the side and as a view seen from above, and

(6) FIG. 13 shows an example of a working cylinder of a screen crusher according to prior art, in which a blade piece with its holder according to the invention can be used.

(7) The blade piece 1 shown in FIGS. 1-6 comprises a T-shaped body having a frame portion 2 forming the vertical shaft of the T and a blade portion 3 forming the horizontal arm of the T, the opposing longitudinal front surfaces of which form the actual work surfaces 4. The frame portion 2 has, extending in the longitudinal direction of the blade portion 3, a through hole 5 receiving the locking element (not shown).

(8) The blade piece holder 11 shown in FIGS. 7-12 comprises a U-shaped frame having arm portions 12 and 13 and connecting these a bottom portion 14, which is shaped as curved at its lower surface. The holder 11 is preferably connected by welding, for example, to the axis 19 of the working cylinder 20 shown in FIG. 13, between the screening discs 21 that are at an axial distance from each other, wherein the holder settles longitudinally in the circumferential direction of the axis 19. The curvature of the bottom portion of the holder corresponds substantially to the curvature of the outer surface of the axis 19. The holders are placed at the desired sites in the circumferential direction of the axis 19, adjacent holders being preferably at different circumferential sites on the axis.

(9) The arms 12, 13 of the holder have a hole 15 going through them which receives the locking element (not shown) and extends in the longitudinal direction of the holder. The blade pieces 1 are placed in the holder such that the hole 5 of the blade piece settles into alignment with the holes 15 of the corresponding holder 11 and are locked into place with a locking pin or corresponding locking element (not shown). In this case, the blade portion 3 of the blade piece 1 settles on top of the arms 12, 13 of the holder, the front surface 4 of the blade portion facing towards the rotational direction of the working cylinder. The frame portion 2 of the blade piece 1 and the lower surface 10 of the blade portion 3 are substantially at a 90 degree angle to each other with a smaller radius of curvature than earlier, making the edge site nearly sharp. In this case, the blade piece is also suitable for use in existing holders.

(10) The radial extension of the blade pieces 1 is greater than the extension of the screening discs 21, and the working cylinder 20 is placed next to the other working cylinder (not shown) of the screen crusher close enough to each other that the screening discs 21 nearly touch (or touch) each other, wherein the blade pieces 1 fall between the screening discs of the adjacent working cylinder.

(11) The use of such blade pieces in the working cylinders of a screen crusher is known, for example, from above said patent publication U.S. Pat. No. 7,506,461B2.

(12) Into the frame portion 2 of a blade piece according to the invention, on the opposite sides containing the hole 5, is formed a channel-like section 6, which extends in the vertical direction of the frame portion 2, between the edge areas 8, 9 of the side with the hole. The hole 5 is located substantially within the channel-like section. The channel-like section has a flat bottom, wherein between the bottoms of the channel-like sections of opposite sides is formed a substantially uniformly thick ridge 7. Onto the inner surface of the arms 12, 13 of the holder 11 is formed a bulge 16 to be placed into cooperation with the channel-like section of the blade piece 1, said bulge extending in the vertical direction of the arm portion, travelling at the hole 15. The bulge 16 has a substantially flat outermost surface 17 corresponding substantially to the flat bottom of the channel-like section 6 of the blade piece. When a blade piece 1 is placed into the holder 11, the channel-like section 6 and the bulge 16 form a form locking, serving to reduce the stresses directed to the locking element.

(13) In order to facilitate replacement of a blade piece 1, into the lower edge of the sides without holes is formed a bevel 7, which extends to the ridge 7. In this case, the tool (not shown) to be used to remove a blade piece is more easily made to settle between the lower surface of the blade piece and the holder for prying the blade piece off from the holder. Bevels 18 are also formed into the lower portion of the sides without holes in the arms 12, 13 of the holder, which provides for that the blade holder can be positioned tightly against the surface of the cylinder pipe between the screening discs. The bevels skirt the welding seam of the screening discs, enabling good compatibility.
