Abstract

Disclosed is a deflection distributor refitting kit for a roller crusher. According to the disclosure the deflection distributor refitting kit comprises a deflection distributing shaft, thrust rods each having first and second ends and mounts for attachment of the deflection distributing shaft at a frame of the roller crusher, wherein a first end of each of said thrust rods is attached to the deflection distributing shaft via a lever, and wherein a second end of each of the thrust rods is arranged to be attached to a movable bearing housing of the roller crusher. Also disclosed is a method for mounting the deflection distributor refitting kit, as well as a roller crusher comprising a deflection.

Claims (22)

1. A deflection distributor refitting kit for a roller crusher having a movable crusher roll mounted between first and second movable bearing housings located on opposite first and second sides of a frame of the crusher, comprising:

a deflection distributing shaft having a first end and a second end;

a first thrust rod and a second thrust rod each positionable on one of said opposite first and second sides of said crusher, each thrust rod having a first end and a second end;

a first pivot bracket arranged to be attached to said first movable bearing housing and a second pivot bracket arranged to be attached to said second movable bearing housing; and

mounts for attachment of said deflection distributing shaft at said first side and said second side of said roller crusher,

wherein said first end of said first thrust rod is attached to said first end of said deflection distributing shaft via a first lever and said first end of said second thrust rod is attached to said second end of said deflection distributing shaft via a second lever , and wherein said second end of each of said first and second thrust rods is attached to one of said first and second pivot brackets.

2. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 1 , wherein said deflection distributing shaft is rotatably suspended in said mounts.

3. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one replacement roll for the roll crusher, which at least one replacement roll has a flange attached to each end thereof, and which flange extends in a radial direction of the roll and has a height above an outer surface of the roll.

4. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 1 , wherein at least one accumulator is arranged to be connected to a hydraulic system of the roller crusher.

5. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 1 , further comprising a cross bar arranged to extend between moveable bearing housings and wherein said second end of each of said first and second thrust rods is arranged to be attached to said cross bar.

6. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 5 , wherein said cross bar is arranged to be pivotably connected to each of the first and second moveable bearing housings.

7. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 1 , wherein an offset bracket is arranged to be mounted at each of the moveable bearing housings and said second end of each thrust rod is connected to a corresponding offset bracket.

8. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 1 , further comprising a control system configured to monitor a skew of said movable crusher roll and wherein the control system is further configured to reduce pressure in a hydraulic system on said first or second side in response to a determination that the skew exceeds a predefined threshold value.

9. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 8 , wherein the control system is configured to reduce pressure in the hydraulic system on the first or second side where the movable crusher roll is least deflected.

10. A deflection distributor refitting kit for a roller crusher, comprising:

a deflection distributing shaft;

thrust rods each having first and second ends; and

mounts for attachment of said deflection distributing shaft at a first and a second side of a frame of said roller crusher,

wherein a first end of each of said thrust rods is attached to said deflection distributing shaft via a lever, and wherein a second end of each of said thrust rods is arranged to be attached to a movable bearing housing of said roller crusher,

wherein said first end of each of said thrust rods is attached to said lever via a lever arm.

11. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 10 , wherein a first portion of said lever arm is arranged to be connected to the frame of the roller crusher and a second portion of said lever arm is connected to said lever.

12. The deflection distributor refitting kit according to claim 11 , wherein said first end of each of said thrust rods is attached to said lever arm at a position between said first portion and said second portion.
