Abstract

The roller grinding mill for comminuting brittle grinding stock includes at least one grinding roller which co-operates with a counter-face in such a manner that the grinding stock is comminuted between the grinding roller and the counter-face and a pressing system for applying a force to the grinding stock via the grinding roller. The pressing system includes: at least one hydropneumatic store and at least one dual-articulation actuating cylinder. The dual-articulation actuating cylinder is connected to the hydropneumatic store and has two pistons and a housing which acts as a coupling rod.

Claims (14)

1. Roller grinding mill for comminuting brittle grinding stock having

a. at least one grinding roller which co-operates with a counter-face in such a manner that the grinding stock is comminuted between the grinding roller and the counter-face and

b. a pressing system for applying a force to the grinding stock via the grinding roller, the pressing system having the following components:

b1. at least one hydropneumatic store and

b2. at least one dual-articulation actuating cylinder which is connected to the hydropneumatic store and which has pistons and a housing,

characterised in that the dual-articulation actuating cylinder has two pistons and a housing which acts as a coupling rod.

2. Roller grinding mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the dual-articulation actuating cylinder has two pivot joints which have fixed spacing relative to each other.

3. Roller grinding mill according to claim 2 , characterised in that the two pivot joints are constructed as journals connected to the housing.

4. Roller grinding mill according to claim 3 , characterised in that the journals have ends which are constructed in the manner of a universal ball joint.

5. Roller grinding mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the two pistons are supported in such a manner that the force which can be produced by the actuating cylinder can be transmitted to the at least one grinding roller with lateral and angular displacement.

6. Roller grinding mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that both pistons are rotationally movable and at least one of the two pistons is supported for linear displacement.

7. Roller grinding mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the actuating cylinder provides for each piston a pivot joint) which has a first contact face on the housing and a second contact face on the pistons or an intermediate element arranged between the piston and the housing.

8. Roller grinding mill according to claim 7 , characterised in that there is provided the intermediate element which has the second contact face at one side and, at an opposite face, a third contact face which allows linear displacement between the piston and the intermediate element.

9. Roller grinding mill according to claim 1 , characterised in that the actuating cylinder is provided with pressure oil lubrication.
