DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(27) According to FIG. 1 the device according to the invention is illustrated, the ore to be comminuted respectively the slag to be comminuted being introduced into a funnel or feed funnel 1 which constitutes the ore feed unit. Alternatively, instead of a funnel a screw conveyor can also be provided which feeds the ore to be comminuted under pressure into the first comminuting means. The ore is fed through the funnel 1 to the cylinder-like housing 3 which is mounted on one foot 2 and one foot 6. The pulverisation of the ore to be comminuted takes place in this housing 3. Here a motor 8 transfers the torsional moment from the motor 8 to the pulveriser by means of a drive roller 11 and a belt 10 and a belt pulley 9.

(28) As can be gathered in particular from FIG. 2, a suction opening 4 is optionally possible through which the pulverised ore can be sucked out by means of negative pressure. Alternatively, and in particular as a rule, there is provided in the lower region of the housing 3 an outlet funnel 14 which generally forms the first outlet unit. By means of this outlet funnel 14 the pulverised ore is discharged from the device according to the invention with the aid of the force of gravity or by suction.

(29) A control flap 15 can be provided on the housing 3 in order to provide, if so required, access to the interior of the housing. However, this is not necessary for the function of the device according to the invention. As can be gathered in particular from FIG. 3, the control flap 15, like the feed funnel 1, is disposed in the upper region of the device according to the invention. Furthermore, the ore can be fed in a continuously manner to the first comminuting means through the feed funnel or also in a non-continuously manner to the first comminuting means if ore or slag is only fed sporadically to the device according to the invention.

(30) FIGS. 4 and 5 respectively show a side view of the device according to the invention from which it is evident that the outlet funnel 14 is provided in the lower region of the cylinder-shaped housing 3.

(31) One can see in particular from FIG. 6a the function and the structure of the pulveriser. The belt pulley 9 is, as already described, driven by the motor 8 and transfers this torsional moment via a shaft 21 onto a comminuting element 30 which is thus rotating. In its simplest form the comminuting element 30 is designed as a rotating turning element 30 with a disc-like configuration which together with a stationary fixed element 40 forms the first comminuting means 300. As can be seen from FIG. 6 the ore to be comminuted is fed via the inlet funnel 1 into the housing 3 by a feed opening 41 being provided substantially in the centre of the fixed element. The ore fed through the feed opening 41 is now pulverised between the fixed element 40 and the rotating turning element 30 and expelled or conveyed away radially outwards in pulverised form between the two comminuting elements 30, 40 and collected within the housing 3 in pulverised form and then discharged from the outlet funnel 14.

(32) Observing in detail the path of the material respectively rocks in the device according to the invention, thus primarily material respectively the stones get into the devices via a feed funnel. Via outlet opening in the centre of the fixed disc jaw respectively the fixed comminuting element 40 material enters the intermediate space, wherein the actuated disc jaw respectively the comminuting element 30 causes the acceleration of material respectively stoneware. Into the geometry of the disc jaws 30, 40 carrier elements are preferably integrated, which transfer the carried ore stones in a radial speed. With the gathered acceleration energy are the stones colliding with each other and that causes highly efficient comminuting of mill material.

(33) This Micro Impact is based on accelerated material by means of a relative movement of the comminuting elements 30, 40 respectively the jaws and due to the narrowness of the intermediate space comminuting takes place in very fast time intervals. The carrying elements on the disc jaws 30, 40 ensure high speeds in radial direction as well as in axial direction, thus that as a result the generated powder is pressed outwards of the intermediate space and gets as powder via outlet funnel 14 for further processing out of the device 290. The degree of comminutionrespectively the grain sizein particular defines the distance of both disc jaws respectively of both comminution elements 30, 40. The smaller the distance the finer the grain size. The work process further decreases by adding water into the mill. Therefore, the operating staff has multiple parameters for adjustment for the required grain sizeand this without any dust exposure.

(34) The device according to the invention of FIG. 6a is illustrated modified in FIG. 6b. According to this illustration a pumping means 410 is connected to the outlet funnel 14, in turn a separating means 413 is connected to the pumping means 410. The ore feeded via outlet funnel 14 to pumping means 410 is preferably accelerated and/or pressure is applied to it by means of pumping means 410 and via conduit section 419, in particular a pipe or a hose, feeded into the separating means 413. It is also conceivable, that pumping means 410 is directly respectively straight connected with separating means 413. Ore is outputted via the first outlet 414, which again shall be fed to the first comminuting means, in particular the comminuting elements 30, 40. The feeding of the ore outputted via the first outlet 414 happens preferably transport path T2, that means the ore to be further comminuted is preferably fed to feeding funnel 1. Housing 3 particular preferably comprises the first comminuting means 300 and/or the feeding funnel 1 a feeding connection 520 via which flowable substances are feedable to the first comminuting means 300. In particular ore fed via T2 is hereby considered as flowable substance. Further, feeding connection 520 can comprise multiple connection spots for coupling one or a plurality of further conducting elements. Hence, it is also conceivable that a conduit respectively a conduit element for feeding a liquid, in particular water or a water comprising liquid, is coupled via feeding connection 520 with the device 290 according to the invention. The separating means 41 preferably has a second outlet 416 from which already sufficiently comminuted ore is outputted. The sufficiently comminuted ore respectively ore which does not shall or must be fed to the first comminuting means 300, that means comminuting elements 30, 40, preferably gets according to transport path T3 directly conducted to a further processing means, in particular a second comminuting means (cf. FIG. 17) or a floating means.

(35) Further, FIGS. 6a and 6b show a spring means 504 schematically in the area of a first axial end 521 of shaft 21. The spring means 504 can be formed e.g. as mechanical, pneumatical or hydraulic spring means and is preferably arranged between belt pully 9 and shaft 21. However, it is conceivable that the spring means 504 can be formed respectively arranged at other positions in the area of shaft 21. Reference number S1 characterizes a displacement range, on which shaft 21 is moveable respectively between which shaft 21 is variably mounted, in case shaft 21 is moved in axial direction and a deflection of spring means 504 is caused.

(36) During a comminution of ore in the first comminuting means 300 an initial pressure application on the ore clumps yet only a little or not comminuted takes place. The pressure application is caused by a ramp region 31, which is designed volutely and formed at one or both comminuting elements 30, 40. Due to the voluted design a feeding effect is caused by a rotation of a comminuting element 30, due to which ore between the comminuting elements 30, 40, in particular between the ramp region 31 of a comminuting element 30 and a corresponding region 42 of the other comminuting element 40, is compressed respectively applied to increasing pressure. Pressure applied to ore clumps normally causes that the ore clumps are falling apart in very small pieces and therefore succumb to the pressure. In presence of ore clumps which do not succumb the generated pressure threatens to further increase, whereby the workload on the device components, in particular comminuting elements 30, 40, shaft 21, bearings 506, 508, etc. also strongly increases and can even reach a level, from which damage of single or multiple of said components is possible. Due to the inventive utilization of a spring means 504 overloading of the components in the range of the first comminuting means 300 can be prevented. There is to say, the spring means 504 deflects in case the workload is to high respectively surpasses a specific, in particular adjusted, level. Because of the deflection of spring means 504 a sliding of a comminuting element 30 results, whereby the comminuting elements 30, 40 are spaced apart from each other. After respectively during a pressure decrease between comminuting elements 30, 40 the deflected spring means 504 causes a return of the comminuting element 30 in the starting position. Due to the sliding of the comminuting element 30 a slit between the comminuting elements 30, 40 is increased, whereby larger ore particles respectively ore clumps can escape from the first comminuting means 300. All ore particles respectively ore clumps escaping from the first comminuting means 300 are fed to a separating means 413, by means of which a separation of the already sufficient comminuted particles and the not yet sufficient comminuted particles respectively ore clumps are caused. The ore particles respectively ore clumps not yet sufficiently comminuted are again fed to the first comminuting means 300 or to a second comminuting means 301.

(37) Further, it is also conceivable that ore particles respectively ore clumps can occur in the region of comminuting protrusions 35, 45 and do not fragment in consequence of the applied pressure. Since the comminuting protrusions 35, 45 of comminuting elements 30, 40 are radially spaced apart from the centre ore particles respectively ore clumps in this region cause the generation of high momentums, which can cause damaging of the first comminuting means 300, in particular of one or both comminuting elements 30, 40, shaft 21, etc. The inventive arrangement of a spring means 504 enables preferably also in that case, that a deflection of a comminuting means 30, 40, in particular a comminuting element 30, which is coupled with shaft 21, takes place.

(38) The inventive manner of comminuting only requires a short time due to the small floor requirements of the comminuting space, wherein the comminuted ore is fed to the outside through the intermediate space 60 between the comminuting elements 30, 40 during a rotation of the rotation element and away from both comminuting elements 30, 40, as it is e.g. illustrated by comminuted ore 55 in FIG. 7. This means, that ore clumps are comminuted by means of the relative movement in form of a rotation between the two comminuting elements 30, 40, wherein according to a further embodiment two comminuting elements 30, 40 can be used with different rotational speeds as well as equal or opposed directions of rotation.

(39) The pulverisation is described in more detail, in particular with regard to FIG. 7. In the same way as in FIG. 6a the ore to be comminuted is fed via the feed opening 41, which is preferably located substantially in the centre of the fixed element preferably being formed as comminuting section 40, into a comminuting space between the fixed element 40 and the turning element 30. FIG. 7 shows by way of example several lumps of ore 50 which represent the ore to be comminuted. After the lumps of ore 50 to be comminuted come into contact through the feed opening 41 with the turning element 30, the rotation of the turning element 30 causes the lumps of ore 50 to be accelerated radially outwards and in the rotational direction of the turning element 30. For this purpose the two comminuting elements form a comminuting space, one or more accelerating elements being disposed on at least the turning element or the fixed element in order to bring about acceleration and corresponding comminution of the ore that has been fed in. By means of the rotation of the turning element 30 the ore to be comminuted is pulverised directly by the contact with the turning element 30 and also by the contact between lumps of ore which have already been partially comminuted and also by contact with the fixed element 40 in the comminuting space.

(40) FIG. 8 shows the two comminuting elements of FIG. 7 in the opened up state together with ore 50 to be comminuted and pulverised ore 55 positioned by way of an example. The ore 50 to be comminuted is fed via the feed opening 41 through the fixed element 40 into the comminuting space between the two comminuting elements, as already described. Optionally, the turning element 30 has a ramp region 31 which has a rising incline from the start of the ramp 32 to the end of the ramp 33 and can be part of the comminuting space. By means of the rotation of the turning element 30 the ore 50 to be comminuted is already comminuted due to the rising ramp region 31, as shown diagrammatically by the spherical particles of ore 51 and 52 which become smaller and smaller. The ramp region 31 co-operates here with an annular region 42 of the fixed element 40. Next the ore is accelerated and pulverised by protrusions 35 which act as accelerating elements due to the rotation of the turning element 30 and which are arranged equal distances apart in the circumferential direction of the turning element 30 in FIG. 8. The fixed element 40 can also have protrusions 45 which are arranged in the same way as the protrusions 35 of the turning element 30. Corresponding recesses 36 are provided on the end face of the turning element 30 between the protrusions 35 of the turning element as part of the comminuting space. The protrusions 35 are in particular at a predetermined angle in the cross-over to the recesses 36 in order to accelerate the ore to be comminuted both in the radial direction according to the rotation and also in the axial direction of the axis of rotation of the turning element. In this way the ore to be comminuted is accelerated into the centre of the comminuting space and strikes against other accelerated ore elements here so that notional pulverisation is produced by the micro-impact.

(41) Optionally, the fixed element 30 has corresponding recesses 46 between the protrusions 45 of the fixed element 30. After the ore has been pulverised between the fixed element 40 and the turning element 30, in particular by the acceleration by means of the protrusions 35, the ramp region 31 and the protrusions 45 of the fixed element due to the rotation, the pulverised ore 45 passes into the intermediate space 60 between the two comminuting elements 30, 40.

(42) As already described, the intermediate space 60 is formed by the variable distance between the two comminuting elements 30, 40, in addition to the variable distance star-shaped outlet notches 61 leading away from the axis of rotation of the turning element 30 also possibly being provided in the turning element 30. Similarly, outlet notches 62 are provided equal distances apart in the fixed element 40. As shown diagrammatically with regard to the turning element 30 in FIG. 8, the pulverised ore 44 is discharged outwards through the outlet notches 61 and 62. If the distance between the turning element 30 and the fixed element 40 is not provided, i.e. the two elements are substantially resting against one another, the pulverised ore 55 is substantially discharged outwards through the outlet notches 61 and 62. The variable distance between the two comminuting elements can be adjusted in particular by a hydraulic unit, and preferably the fixed element 40 can be positioned variably in the axial direction in relation to the turning element 30 in order to be able to adjust the pulverisation as regards size and composition, in particular for a different ore.

(43) According to a further embodiment the fixed element 30 or the turning element 40 or both comminuting elements can be separated from one another hydraulically in the axial direction for repair and fitting work. Alternatively, the comminuting elements can be moved apart from one another out of the operating position by means of a pivot movement of one of the two comminuting elements. In this way the accelerating elements 35, for example, or other elements of the first comminuting means subjected to high mechanical stress can be worked on or replaced. Furthermore, this makes it possible for elements subjected to high mechanical stress within the first comminuting means or for example the accelerating elements of protrusions 35 to be able to be made of different materials and to be exchanged as required. In this way wearing parts within the comminuting space, such as for example the protrusions, can also be further adapted to different ores.

(44) With regard to FIG. 6, which shows a diagrammatically enlarged distance between the turning element 30 and the fixed element 40, it is evident that with only a small distance the ore to be comminuted is thrown outwardly in the radial direction by the rotation and is contained by the housing 3 before the pulverised ore is discharged from the device 290 according to the invention via the outlet funnel 14, for example by the force of gravity alone or additionally by a suction device or similar.

(45) FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of a fixed element 140 which has a feed opening 141 in the centre. The fixed element 140 is substantially identical to that of FIG. 8, the fixed element 140 having outlet notches 162 set at an angle through which the pulverised ore is conveyed away to the outside.

(46) In the form illustrated the fixed element 41 shown in FIG. 9 can also be used as a second turning element which can have a relative speed different to the turning element 30 illustrated in FIG. 8.

(47) The embodiment of a comminuting element shown in FIG. 9 has an angular region 144 which extends respectively to both sides from the accelerating element 143 to the recess 145. However, these two angular regions 144 can also be provided on just one side of the accelerating element 143 depending on the rotational direction in order to accelerate the ore to be comminuted, depending on the direction of rotation of the comminuting element, both in the radial and in the axial direction in relation to the rotation of the comminuting element. In this way, together with the accelerating elements of the turning element 30 shown in FIG. 8, particularly effective pulverisation can be produced, in particular when the accelerating elements of the turning element 30 also have an angular region which is congruent to the angular regions 144 of the comminuting element of FIG. 9 or are arranged substantially in a mirror image of one another.

(48) FIG. 10 shows a cross-section of the fixed element 40 of FIG. 8, the feed opening 41 having a funnel-shaped structure.

(49) According to FIG. 11 a further embodiment of the comminuting elements according to the present invention is shown.

(50) Alternatively to the comminuting elements according to FIGS. 7 to 10, in FIGS. 11 to 13 further embodiments for co-operating comminuting elements are shown which can be arranged within the device according to the invention according to FIG. 6.

(51) In FIG. 11 a fixed element 240 and a rotating turning element 230 are shown, the ore 50 to be comminuted being fed via the feed opening 241 into the comminuting space between the fixed element 240 and the turning element 230. As can be seen, furthermore, from FIG. 11, the comminuting space between the fixed element 240 and the turning element 230 is formed such as to taper substantially conically outwards from the axis of rotation of the turning element 230, by means of which on the one hand pulverisation of the ore is brought about. On the other hand it is evident from FIG. 12 that the turning element 230 has recesses 236 which are arranged equal distances apart around the axis of rotation of the turning element. By means of the cross-overs of the recess 236 arranged at an angle, these recesses 236 provide in particular acceleration and so pulverisation of the ore due to the rotation which provides a relative movement between the turning element 230 and the fixed element 240.

(52) FIG. 13 shows the fixed element 240 of FIG. 11 which co-operates with the turning element 230 of FIG. 12. The fixed element 240 shows in the cross-section in FIG. 13 the feed opening 241. Similarly to the turning element 230 the fixed element 240 has recesses 246 in the radial direction around the centre of the axis of rotation. In particular, the sloped regions of the recesses 236, 246 of the turning element 230 and the fixed element 240 provide acceleration and comminution of the ore which is discharged outwards in pulverised form through the intermediate space 260 between the turning element 230 and the fixed element 240.

(53) According to the invention a method for comminuting ore and/or in particular slag is thus provided, the ore feed unit 1 being provided for feeding ore 50 to be comminuted to a first comminuting means. The first comminuting means is composed of at least two comminuting elements 30, 40 that can be moved relative to each other, which elements form a comminuting space for the ore to be comminuted with each other such that by a relative moment in the form of a rotation of at least one of the two comminuting elements 30, 40 the ore to be comminuted is pulverised in that one or more accelerating elements, in particular protrusions, are provided on at least one of the comminuting elements 30, 40, said accelerating elements being arranged in particular on the end face of one of the two comminuting elements 30, 40, and accelerating and comminuting the ore to be comminuted by the rotation of one of the two comminuting elements 30, 40. Between the two comminuting elements 30, 40 and/or in at least one of the two comminuting elements an intermediate space 60 is provided through which during the rotation the pulverised ore is conveyed away outwards from the centre of the rotation or from the axis of rotation of the turning element and from the two comminuting elements 30, 40. The ore pulverised in this way between the two comminuting elements is discharged outwards through a outlet unit which is at least functionally connected to the intermediate space 60.

(54) Purely optionally, during the comminuting process water can also be fed into the comminuting chamber through a water inlet (not shown) or by feeding water through the ore feed unit. The water thus forms together with the ore during and after pulverisation a sludge-like compound, the water being conveyed away through the outlet unit together with the pulverised ore.

(55) As already explained with regard to FIG. 8, the ramp region 31 is particularly advantageous for the comminuting of slag because such a ramp region on the turning element provides pre-comminution of slag by means of the rotation of the turning element, protrusions and/or recesses being provided according to the invention in the comminuting elements after the ramp region in the direction of conveyance in order to pulverise the particularly brittle and hard slag.

(56) For the person skilled in the art it is quite obvious that the number of protrusions on the two comminuting elements can respectively be equal, it also being possible, however, to provide a different number of accelerating elements on the two comminuting elements.

(57) According to one embodiment (not shown), the two comminuting elements can rotate in opposite directions in order to increase the relative movement between the two comminuting elements. However, this leads to greater structural complexity, and is only to be implemented in special cases.

The forth means 307 preferably serves for alignment respectively holding of the rotation body 345, 380 with respect to mill ring 344. However, it is also conceivable that the forth means 307 comprises an actuation means for active actuation of one respectively the rotation bodies 345, 380 receptively is coupled with such an actuating means. The forth means 307 preferably can be considered as axis or shaft 351 and preferably comprises an outer cover element 354, a fixing means 366, an inner cover element 352, a spacing element 348 for receiving and/or spacing the axes 347, bearing cover elements 348, axes 347 and/or roller bearings 346. The rotation bodies 345, 380 are therefore rotatable mounted by bearings 346.

The device housing 3 is gatherable from this illustration, which is held by means of feats 6 with respect to the underground respectively a receiving rack (cf. FIG. 19 or FIG. 20a/b). Housing 3 preferably surrounds the second comminuting means 301 in circumferential direction completely. On the inner surface of housing 3 respectively on the surface side facing the second comminuting means of the housing preferably multiple holding means are arranged, in particular exactly three holding means namely a first holding means 402, a second holding means 403 and a third holding means 404.

The actuating and/or guiding elements 355 are preferably rollers, which are arranged rotatable at the holding means 402, 403, 404. At least one of the actuating and/or guiding elements 355 is preferably actuated by means of a motor. Particular preferably two or all actuating and/or guiding elements 355 are actuated, in particular by means of a motor or by means of a respective motor.

The feeding means 408 preferably extends in such a manner inside housing 3 respectively into a region surrounded by mill ring 344, that the material fed by means of the feeding means 408 is inserted before the first mill drum 345. Mill ring 344 preferably rotates in the direction characterized with reference sign R, whereby the material introduced before the first mill drum 345 is fed between mill ring 344 and mill drum 345. The material is further comminuted respectively pulverized due to the interaction of mill ring 344 and mill drum 345. Further, a second mill drum 380 is shown, it is therefore conceivable that multiple mill drums 345, 380 are installed. It is preferably conceivable that any number of mill drums 345, 380, in particular exactly, more or less than one, two, three, four or five mill drums, are installed. The individual mill drums 345, 380 are preferably rotatable and particular preferably active actuated by means of an actuating means. Further it is conceivable that mill drums 345, 380 are rotated respectively actuated only passive, that means as a result of a rotation of mill ring 344. The mill drums 345, 380 are preferably arranged at the wall of housing 406 by means of spacing elements 349 for receiving the mill drums 345, 380 via coupling locations 412. It is hereby conceivable that the positions of mill drums 345, 380 are adjustable respectively modifiable by means of spacing elements 349. A distance, in particular a maximum distance, of the outer mill drum surface to the inner mill ring surface is preferably adjustable.

(74) It is further conceivable, that mill drums 345, 380 or one of those mill drums 345, 380 is spring loaded respectively is pressed againsted the mill ring respectively is pretensioned.

(75) A ore comminuting device 290 according the invention is shown in FIG. 17 broadend with respect to FIG. 6a by the second comminuting means 301. The ore comminuting device 290 comprises a feeding funnel 1 via which coarse material to be comminuted is inserted into the device. The material is comminuted by means of the first comminuting means 300, in particular by means of interacting elements 30, 40, that means comminuting element 30 and fixing element 40. The comminuted material parts are moved outwardly from the region between the elements 30, 40, in particular by means of gravitation, and get to a funnel 14. The elements 30, 40 are preferably arranged with respect to each other in a distance of essentially, exactly or at most 7 cm and further preferred in a distance of essentially, exactly or at most 5 cm and particular preferred in a distance of essentially, exactly or at most 3.5 cm. Hereby it is conceivable that the distance between the elements 30, 40 is adjustable, in particular variable. The distance between elements 30, 40 can be particular preferably stepless or in predefined steps adjusted. Funnel 14 conducts the comminuted material according to arrow T1 via a pumping means 410 in a separator respectively in a separating unit 413. Separator 413 divides, in particular cyclone-like, sufficiently crushed material parts from not sufficiently crushed material parts. Not sufficiently crushed material parts, which are separated from the sufficiently crushed material parts by separator 413, are outputted from the separator 413 via a first outlet opening 414 or a junction and according to the feeding line characterized by reference sign T2 fed to an inserting means 408 (cf. FIG. 16). Inserting means 408 is preferably arranged in the region of wall 406 and serves for inserting of material parts to be further comminuted into the second comminuting means 301. Additionally or alternatively it is also conceivable that the material parts to be further comminuted are again fed to the first comminuting means 300. Reference number 416 characterizes a second outlet opening respectively a further junction. By means of the second outlet opening 416 respectively by means of the further junction sufficiently comminuted ore is channeled of respectively conveyed according to feeding line T3 out of the region of device 290, wherein the ore is preferably immediately fed respectively conducted to a floating means. It is further conceivable that separator 413 comprises three outlet unit and assignes the comminuted material to three ranges of material size, wherein the already sufficiently comminuted material is fed according to T3 and the not sufficiently comminuted material is separated into a coarse portion and a fine portion. Then, the coarse portion is again feedable to the first comminuting means 300 and the fine portion is feedable to the second comminuting means 301, in particular according to T2.

(76) The sufficiently comminuted, in particular pulverized, material parts are discharged from the ore comminuting device according to the arrow characterized by reference sign T3 and particular preferable immediately fed to a floating means.

(77) It is gatherable from this illustration that at least two shafts 357, 371 are provided. Shafts 357, 371 serve for actuation of the elements for guiding and/or actuating 355. The individual shafts 357, 371 are preferably connected with actuating means 304. Further a third shaft (cf. FIG. 14) for actuating a third element for guiding and/or actuating 355 (cf. FIG. 15) is particular preferably provided.

(78) Further, mill drums 345, 380 are illustrated, which are surrounded in circumferential direction by the mill ring.

(79) Further, reference number 504 characterizes a spring means, which can be e.g. formed as mechanical pressure spring respectively coil spring, gas spring or as hydraulic spring. The spring means 504 causes that a force of several tons is axially applied to shaft 21 and therewith the comminuting element 30. This means that an axial sliding of shaft 21 in X-direction happens only then, if e.g. as a result of a material jam forces are generated between comminuting elements 30, 40, which are directed into X-direction and exceed the spring force. The spring means 504 therefore causes in beneficial manner, that shaft 21 and comminuting elements 30, 40 are in X-direction only subjected to a predefined respectively adjusted maximum force, whereby those elements are protected against damage. The sliding path S1 of shaft 21 due to a displacement of spring means 504 preferably is in the range of a few respectively several millimeters up to a few respectively several centimeters.

(80) Further is conceivable that the spring force is adjustable respectively predefinable in such a manner, that defined ore particle sizes are generatable. The smaller the spring force, the larger are the resulting sizes of the ore particles.

(81) The spring force is preferably stepless respectively continuously or in steps adjustable.

(82) Reference numbers 506 and 508 characterize roller bearings, by means of which shaft 21 is preferably mounted. Roller bearings 506 are preferably formed as ball bearings and roller bearings 508 are preferably formed as cone bearings or needle bearings.

(83) FIG. 18 shows the embodiment of FIG. 17 in an open configuration. In this configuration preferably at least the comminuting element 30 and preferably the complete internal space of device 290 is accessible to a human for maintenance work. The housing cover 420 is thereby moved by means of an actuator 434 respectively by means of multiple actuators, in particular exactly two actuators 434, of a hydraulic means (cf. FIG. 21a/b) into the opened position.

(84) A transportation means 386 is shown in FIG. 19a in a top view, on which a comminuting device 290 according to the invention is arranged. Transportation means 386 is preferably formed as trailer, which can be pulled by a motor driven vehicle. Transportation means 386 therefore comprises a frame 388 on which the comminuting means 290 is preferably permanently arranged. However it is also conceivable that comminuting means 290 is detachable coupled with transportation means 386. On frame 388 are preferably at least or exactly two wheels arranged for each axis. In the illustrated embodiment transportation means 386 comprises exactly one axis, wherein it is conceivable that it comprises multiple, in particular two or three axes. Transportation means 386 is coupleable via coupling location 392 with a vehicle or a further trailor.

(85) In FIG. 19b a sideview of the illustration shown in FIG. 19a is depicted.

(86) In FIG. 20 a comminuting device 290 according to the invention is arranged on a pedestal 393. However, in place of pedestal 393 comminuting device 290 can be arranged alternatively on a scaffold or a platform. The arrangement shown in FIG. 20 is beneficial since the outputting region 394 from which the comminuted material is outputted is easily accessible because of the distance between comminuting means 290 and the underground.

(87) Further, the actuating means respectively the motors are characterized by reference numbers 450, 452, by means of which rotation ring body 344 (cf. FIG. 15) is actuatable.

(88) FIG. 21a shows the device 290 according to the invention in a closed configuration. In this closed configuration the housing cover 420, which is in contact with the feeding funnel 1, lies, in particular sealingly, on the housing 3. The housing cover 420 is preferably holded by means of a closing means 430, which is particular preferably formed as hydraulic means, and preferably pressed against housing 3. The hydraulic means 430 preferably comprises a stator 432, which is particular preferably arranged in the region of housing 3 or on housing 3. Stator 430 is preferably coupled with the actuator 434 in such a manner, that it is slideable in the direction of extention of the rotation axis of comminuting element 30. On both sides of housing 3 a hydraulic means 430 is preferably arranged. Further, it is conceivable that the mentioned hydraulic means are also arranged in the region of the upper and lower wall regions of housing 3. It is also conceivable that more than two, in particular three or four, hydraulic means 430 are provided, in particular in the upper and lower housing region and in the lateral housing regions. In case of multiple hydraulic means 430 these are preferably simultaneously, in particular via a control means, selectable. Actuator 434 is preferably coupled respectively connected with housing cover 420 by means of an actuator-housing-cover-coupling-location 436.

(89) Device 290 is illustrated in FIG. 21b in an open respectively opened configuration. The open respectively opened configuration is thereby characterized that housing cover 420 is at least sectionally removed respectively spaced apart from housing 3. Such spacing apart can take place as shown, that means housing cover 420 can in total be spaced apart from housing 3 about a preferably defined path. Spacing apart preferably takes place by means of one or multiple hydraulic means 432. However it is also conceivable that housing cover 420 lies on the one hand side on the housing 3 and is pivoted by means of the locking means respectively holding means 430 around a contact point.

(90) The feeding funnel 1 and the comminuting element 40 are preferably arranged at housing cover 420. By means of feeding funnel 1 the ore to be feeded is preferably funnelable through housing cover 420 and through comminuting element 40 into the closed housing 3 (cf. FIG. 21a).

(91) Further the illustration of FIG. 21b show as a human characterized by reference number 500. It can be further gathered from this illustration, that by means of hydraulic means 432 the housing cover 420 with the thereon arranged means, in particular the comminuting element 40, is particular preferably movable that far, that a human 500 can access the device through opening 502 resulting from the movement of the housing cover respectively can maintain single or all components therein. As maintenance work wear elements, like e.g. the ramp region 31, the protrusions 35, the protrusions 45 of both comminuting elements 30, 40, can be exchanged.

(92) Hydraulic means 432 can serve additionally or alternatively as spring means for variable mounting of comminuting element 40.

(93) The device according to the invention has procedural benefits in dry and/or wet processing. In this context a process independence from water is important. The device according to the invention works dry as well as wetta benefit, which the process chain of crushers and mills has to differentiate according to the function. Further crushes the Micro Impact Mill also slag or a mixture of slag and ore material, which overcharges the crushing technique of classic facilities due to the hardness of the material.

(94) It is further beneficial, that this device can process rocks and/or slag. Even bricks of furnaces do not affect it. In view of the scope of performance the device according to the invention can even replace the overall process chain consisting of crushers and ball mills. Rocks preferably with up to 80 cm, further preferably with up to 50 cm and particular preferably with up to 40 cm are directly processed suitable for flotation in one process step. This is faced with multiple crushing stages with crushers until the ball mills are in charge.

(95) Due to the micro impact in particular only small wear takes place in the device according to the invention, that means due to the repetitive collision of ore differently accelerated, whereby the mechanical elements are only subjected to small load, wherein also no further loose milling elements or iron balls have to be used.

(96) Furthermore, the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention enables that slag itself or together with ore material can be comminuted and pulverized, since due to the small dimensions of the comminuting space as well as the relative small dimensioned comminuting elements with a respective rotation high forces are applied on the ore material to be comminuted respectively the slag to be comminuted and thus an effective comminuting takes place. Due to the rotation, which comprises because of the dimensions 100 up to more or less 2000 revolutions per minute of a comminuting element, also slag can be pulverized in an effective manner, which is very brittle and comprises a hard structure.

(97) With the device according to the invention the productivity of resources as well as the conserving of resources can be enhanced. With this innovation there is no need for pre-crushing with crushers and millsin a very energy efficiency and ecological manner. This innovative device is further beneficial, because it connects energy and resource efficiency and simultaneously provides a totally new human-machine-cooperation completely without silicosis and noise-induced deafness.
