Wear part, processing apparatus and processing plant for mineral material
View Patent ↗A wear part for a mineral material processing apparatus includes an outer wear surface which includes an initial phase wear surface to be put in crushing contact with an opposite wear surface, and an end phase wear surface to be taken vertically into use in the crushing process from under the initial wear surface when the wear is progressing. The wear part includes an end phase wear surface with a protrusion to be put in use when the wear of the outer wear surface is progressing. As a result of the wear part including the protrusion working life of the wear part can be prolonged. A mineral material processing apparatus and a mineral material processing plant.
1. An inner wear part having a conical shape and centered along a vertical rotation axis and configured for use with a mineral material processing apparatus to create a crushing chamber with an opposite outer wear part, the inner wear part, comprising:
an outer wear surface which comprises an initial phase wear surface and an end phase wear surface located below the initial phase wear surface, wherein the initial phase wear surface is configured to be in crushing contact with the outer wear part during initial use and the end phase wear surface is configured to be in crushing contact with the outer wear part when wear of the inner wear part is progressing;
the end phase wear surface comprising an upper region joined to the initial phase wear surface;
the end phase wear surface comprising a lower region that comprises a protrusion that has a horizontal upper end surface, wherein
the outer wear surface is formed to have surface portions next to the upper end portion both upwards and downwards from the upper end portion which the surface portions are most close to vertical relative to the conical shape; and
the protrusion extends to a lower end of the wear part.
2. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is configured to limit flow-through of material between the outer wear surface of the wear part and the outer wear part when wear is progressing.
3. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the upper end of the protrusion is directed along a horizontal plane.
4. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the upper end of the protrusion is inclined in relation to a horizontal plane.
5. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the wear part comprises two or more successive protrusions.
6. The wear part according to claim 5 , wherein the upper end of the protrusion is directed along a horizontal plane.
7. The wear part according to claim 5 , wherein the upper end of the protrusion is inclined in relation to a horizontal plane.
8. The wear part according to claim 5 , wherein the wear part comprises two or more successive protrusions.
9. The wear part according to claim 5 , wherein the end phase wear surface with the protrusion is formed of a material which is more wear resistant than a base material of the wear part.
10. The wear part according to claim 5 , wherein the wear part comprises a separate skirt part vertically under the initial phase wear surface, which skirt part comprises the end phase wear surface with the protrusion.
11. The wear part according to claim 5 , wherein the radius of the crushing surface from the rotation axis of the wear part is continuously increasing when measuring from the top edge part to the bottom edge part.
12. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the end phase wear surface with the protrusion is formed of a material which is more wear resistant than a base material of the wear part.
13. The wear part according to claim 12 , wherein the end phase wear surface with the protrusion is formed of a material which is more wear resistant than a base material of the wear part.
14. The wear part according to claim 12 , wherein the wear part comprises a separate skirt part vertically under the initial phase wear surface, which skirt part comprises the end phase wear surface with the protrusion.
15. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the wear part comprises a separate skirt part vertically under the initial phase wear surface, which skirt part comprises the end phase wear surface with the protrusion.
16. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein a radius of the crushing surface from the vertical rotation axis of the inner wear part is continuously increasing when measured from a top edge part to a bottom edge part.
17. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the wear part is configured to be supported by a support cone and the protrusion resides entirely at a radius that exceeds greatest radius of the support cone.
18. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the outer wear surface is formed to have a substantially vertical part next to said upper end upwards from the upper end.
19. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the outer wear surface is formed to have a substantially vertical part next to said upper end downwards from the upper end.
20. The wear part according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion has a height that is seven times the length of the wear part.
