Abstract

The invention relates to a roller mill having a grinding table, at least one grinding roller and at least two drives with a rotor winding for driving the roller mill and at least one adjustment device for adjusting the motor torque of at least one drive, the adjustment device being connected to the rotor winding of at least one drive in order to influence the rotor current.

Claims (19)

1. Roller mill comprising: a grinding table, at least one grinding roller and at least two drives including a rotor winding and stator winding for driving the roller mill, wherein one of the at least two drives has an adjustment device associated therewith for adjusting the motor torque of the associated drive, characterised in that the adjustment device is connected to the rotor winding of at least one drive in order to influence the rotor current, and further characterized in that actual values of the drives are derived via a co-rotating motor model.

2. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the drives are formed by asynchronous motors.

3. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that at least n−1 of the at least two drives are formed by slip-ring motors, wherein “n” equals the number of drives.

4. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the power of the adjustment device is less than 50% of the nominal power of the associated drive.

5. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the power of the adjustment device is a maximum of 30% of the nominal power of the associated drive.

6. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the adjustment device is a frequency converter.

7. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the adjustment device is a cascade arrangement of power converters.

8. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the adjustment device is a matrix converter.

9. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the adjustment device is a low voltage system.

10. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the voltage of the low-voltage system is a maximum of 690 V.

11. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the at least one grinding roller has at least one associated drive.

12. Roller mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the grinding table—has at least one associated drive.

13. Roller mill comprising: a grinding table, at least one grinding roller and at least two drives including a rotor winding and stator winding for driving the roller mill, wherein one of the at least two drives has an adjustment device associated therewith for adjusting the motor torque of the associated drive, characterised in that the adjustment device is connected to the rotor winding of at least one drive in order to influence the rotor current, and characterised in that the adjustment device rotates with the rotor of the drive.

14. Method for comminuting grinding stock with a roller mill, which has a grinding table, at least one grinding roller, at least two drives with a stator and a rotor winding for driving the roller mill, and at least one adjustment device for adjusting the motor torque, wherein a compensation adjustment operation is carried out by adjusting the motor torque of at least one drive, characterised in that actual values of the drives are derived via a co-rotating motor model and the adjustment device is connected to the rotor winding of at least one drive and the adjustment is carried out by influencing the current in the rotor winding in order to adjust the power of the drives in a predetermined relationship relative to each other.

15. Method according to claim 14 , characterised in that the compensation adjustment is a load compensation adjustment.

16. Method according to claim 15 characterised in that the speed of the drives is adjusted in such a manner that a predetermined speed of the grinding table is further maintained.

17. Method according to claim 14 , characterised in that the compensation adjustment is a power compensation adjustment.

18. Method according to claim 17 characterised in that the speed of the drives is adjusted in such a manner that a predetermined speed of the grinding table is further maintained.

19. Method according to claim 14 , characterised in that the speed of the drives is adjusted in such a manner that a predetermined speed of the grinding table is further maintained.
