Abstract

The invention relates to a roller mill having a mill housing, a mill path which is supported so as to be rotatable about a mill axis inside the mill housing, and at least one mill roller which can be rotated about a mill roller shaft and which is engaged with the mill path in terms of rolling action. There is further provided a pivot lever which is for rotatably retaining the mill roller and which has a pivot shaft arranged parallel with the mill roller axis and which is supported outside the mill housing. The pivot lever is further in operational contact with a hydropneumatic resilient system in order to adjust the pressing pressure of the mill roller. The pivot lever is supported outside the mill housing with spacing therefrom in such a manner that the forces which are produced by the hydropneumatic resilient system are dissipated into the mill foundation directly or via pillars.

Claims (22)

1. Roller mill having

a mill housing ( 1 ),

a mill path which is supported so as to be rotatable about a mill axis ( 2 ) inside the mill housing,

at least one mill roller ( 4 ) which can be rotated about a mill roller axis ( 5 ) and which is engaged with the mill path in terms of rolling action,

at least one pivot lever ( 6 ) which is for rotatably retaining the mill roller ( 4 ) and which has a pivot shaft ( 7 ) arranged parallel with the mill roller axis ( 5 ) and which is supported outside the mill housing,

and having at least one pressing system which is in operational contact with the pivot lever in order to adjust the pressing pressure of the mill roller ( 4 ),

wherein the pressing system is formed by a hydropneumatic resilient system ( 8 ) and the pivot lever ( 6 ) is supported with spacing from the mill housing ( 1 ) in such a manner that the forces which are produced by the pressing system are dissipated into a mill foundation directly or via pillars,

wherein the bearing of the pivot lever ( 6 ) has a first bearing ( 12 a ) and a second spaced-apart bearing ( 12 b ) having a common pivot axis ( 7 ) and

the ratio of the distance (L 2 ) between the mill roller ( 4 ) and the first bearing ( 12 a ) relative to the distance (L 1 ) between the two bearings ( 12 a , 12 b ) is from 1:0.5 to 1:2.

2. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the hydropneumatic resilient system ( 8 ) has at least one traction cylinder having a storage system.

3. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the hydropneumatic resilient system ( 8 ) engages with the pivot lever ( 6 ) below the mill roller axis.

4. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the hydropneumatic resilient system ( 8 ) has at least one pressure cylinder having a storage system.

5. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the mill roller ( 4 ) is retained at one end of the pivot lever ( 6 ) whilst the hydropneumatic resilient system ( 8 ) moves into operational contact with the pivot lever ( 6 ) at the other end and the pivot lever is supported in a central region.

6. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the pivot axis ( 7 ) of the pivot lever ( 6 ) is arranged upstream of the mill roller axis ( 5 ) in the direction of rotation ( 13 ) of the mill path ( 3 ).

7. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the pivot axis ( 7 ) of the pivot lever ( 6 ) is arranged downstream of the mill roller axis ( 5 ) in the direction of rotation ( 13 ) of the mill path ( 3 ).

8. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the pivot axis ( 7 ) of the pivot lever ( 6 ) is arranged so as to be displaced upwards relative to the mill roller axis ( 5 ).

9. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the pivot axis ( 7 ) of the pivot lever ( 6 ) is arranged so as to be displaced downwards relative to the mill roller axis ( 5 ).

10. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the pivot axis ( 7 ) of the pivot lever ( 6 ) is arranged so as to be inclined relative to the mill roller axis ( 5 ).

11. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the mill roller axis ( 5 ) is arranged so as to be displaced relative to the mill axis ( 2 ).

12. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the bearing ( 12 ) of the pivot lever ( 6 ) has roller bearings.

13. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the bearing of the pivot lever ( 6 ) has sliding bearings.

14. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the ratio of the distance (L 3 ) between the pivot axis ( 7 ) and the mill roller axis ( 5 ) relative to the distance (L 4 ) between the pivot axis ( 7 ) and operational contact of the hydropneumatic resilient system ( 8 ) is from 1:0.8 to 1:2, preferably from 1:0.9 to 1:1.2.
