In the huge system of modern industry, cone crushers play an important role and can be called "crushing experts" in the industrial field. The cone crusher can complete the crushing task excellently, which is inseparable from the coordinated operation of its main parts. Next, let's take a deep look at the main parts of the cone crusher and explore how they work together to create this powerful industrial equipment.
The core parts are revealed
Moving cone and fixed cone: the "core partners" of crushing
The moving cone and fixed cone can be called the "core partners" of the cone crusher. They are directly involved in the crushing process of the material. When working, the motor drives the eccentric sleeve to rotate through the transmission device, and the moving cone rotates and swings under the force of the eccentric sleeve. When the moving cone approaches the fixed cone, the area between the two forms a crushing chamber, and the material enters it, and is subjected to multiple extrusions, impacts and bendings of the moving cone and the fixed cone, and is gradually crushed.
The moving cone and the fixed cone are usually made of wear-resistant materials such as high manganese steel to withstand huge impact and friction. Once they are severely worn, not only will the crushing efficiency be reduced, but also the product particle size may be uneven, affecting the subsequent production process.
Eccentric sleeve: the "key hub" of power transmission
The eccentric sleeve plays the role of the "key hub" of power transmission in the cone crusher. It rotates around the main shaft driven by the motor, and drives the moving cone to do a swing motion through a unique eccentric structure. It can be said that the eccentric sleeve is the "power heart" of the crusher. Without its stable operation, the moving cone cannot achieve efficient crushing action.
In actual work, the wear of the eccentric sleeve is a common problem. Once the eccentric sleeve is worn, the movement trajectory of the moving cone will be unstable, which will affect the crushing effect. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance of the eccentric sleeve and timely replacement of severely worn parts are important measures to ensure the normal operation of the cone crusher.
Spindle: the "mainstay" of stable operation
As the "mainstay" of the stable operation of the cone crusher, the spindle bears the important responsibility of supporting the moving cone and transmitting power. One end of it is fixed to the frame, and the other end supports the moving cone to ensure that the moving cone can remain stable under high-speed rotation and strong impact.
Frame: Solid and stable "steel guard"
The frame is the solid and stable "steel guard" of the cone crusher, which provides reliable support and protection for other parts. The crusher will produce strong vibration and impact when working, which requires the frame to have sufficient strength and stability to ensure the normal operation of the entire equipment.
Tips for parts maintenance
After understanding the main parts of the cone crusher, how to effectively maintain these parts and ensure the long-term stable operation of the crusher has become the focus of everyone's concern. Next, I will share with you some practical tips for parts maintenance.
Regular inspection: "magic weapon" for timely detection of problems
Regular inspection is a "magic weapon" for timely detection of parts problems. Before and after each startup and shutdown, the appearance of the crusher should be checked to see if there are any loose, deformed or damaged parts. Every half a month to a month, a minor inspection should be carried out, focusing on the wear of spherical bearings, tapered sleeves, eccentric sleeves and other parts, and adjusting their matching conditions; check and clean the hydraulic device and lubrication device, and replace the lubricating oil if necessary. A medium repair should be carried out every 4-6 months. In addition to the minor repairs, it is also necessary to check and replace severely worn parts, such as large and small bevel gears. A major overhaul is carried out about every four years, and the equipment is fully disassembled and inspected, key parts such as frames and beams are repaired or replaced, and the equipment is technically transformed.
Lubrication maintenance: the "secret weapon" to extend the life
Lubrication maintenance is the "secret weapon" to extend the life of parts. Choose the right lubricant according to the season and working environment. In summer, the temperature is high, and No. 50 mechanical oil can be used; in winter, the temperature is low, and No. 20 or No. 30 mechanical oil is suitable. In winter in high-altitude cold areas, No. 10 or No. 15 mechanical oil can meet the normal operation of the equipment. When adding lubricating oil to the crusher, ensure that the oil is clean and avoid mixing lubricating oils of different properties. At the same time, attention should also be paid to controlling the temperature of the lubricating oil. The normal oil temperature should be maintained at 38-55℃, and the ideal working temperature is 38-46℃. Before starting the lubrication system, measure the return oil temperature first, and monitor and control the oil temperature through heaters, coolers and other equipment.
Correct operation: the "key step" to reduce loss
Correct operation is the "key step" to reduce parts loss. Operators must undergo professional training and be familiar with the operating procedures and safety precautions of the crusher. When feeding, keep the material evenly distributed in the crushing chamber to avoid excessive or too fast feeding, which may cause equipment overload. At the same time, the feed particle size must be strictly controlled, and the maximum feed block size must be smaller than the specified size to prevent large pieces of material or foreign matter from entering the crushing chamber and damaging parts. During the operation of the equipment, it is strictly forbidden to open the protective cover or safety door to avoid danger. If the equipment has abnormal sound, vibration or other faults, it should be stopped immediately for inspection and continue to operate after troubleshooting.
Summary: The importance of parts
The main parts of the cone crusher, from the moving cone and fixed cone that are directly involved in crushing, to the eccentric sleeve that transmits power, the main shaft that supports stability, and the frame that provides solid support, each has its own function and together constitutes an efficient crushing system. Maintenance measures such as regular inspection, lubrication maintenance and correct operation are like injecting a steady stream of vitality into this system to ensure its long-term stable operation.
In daily use, we must pay close attention to the working status of the main parts of the cone crusher and do a good job of maintenance. Only in this way can we give full play to the performance advantages of the cone crusher, improve production efficiency, and provide reliable support for industrial production.
