Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a grinding machine.
Description of Related Arts
The grinders reported by the Chinese patent literatures include a wide variety of items, from vertical multilayer combined floating grinders, stacked planetary vertical grinders, pendulum roller grinders to loop grinders.
The basic principle is as follows. The rotation of the center shaft drives the grinding wheel on every layer to revolve not only publicly but on its own axis, the grinding wheel grinds the falling materials on the loop wall relying on the inertial centrifugal force, the falling materials layer by layer pass through the even material plate and are pushed to the barrel wall, and then fall into a next layer grinding ring layer by layer. The grinding wheel on every layer depends on the driving of the center shaft to work on the materials at a basically constant same grinding pressure, so that the materials on an upper layer with large specific surface area grind excessively the fine materials falling layer by layer to produce the over grinding, the next layer only can grind the rough particles falling from the upper layer to a fineness capable of being ground, the lower layers of the multilayer combination only can reshape the materials. In general, in the conventional broken grinding ore, the energy consumption of the broken crushing ore is low, that of the grinding ore is high, according to the statistics, the energy consumption of the broken crushing ore is only 12%-15% that of the grinding ore. The efficiency of the broken ore is higher than that of the grinding ore, which meets the principle that the power consumed by the grinding ore is in direct proportion to the newly generated surface area in the grinding products.
Improving the rotational speed and increasing the centrifugal force will aggravate the over crushing on the upper layers, which is not capable of grinding the materials by grading. The above multilayer loop grinders is not capable of playing a role in “more crushing and less grinding”, thereby having larger shortcomings as follows. The structure of the machine is unstable while being operated under variable loading, the service life is short, the efficiency is lower, no work increases the energy consumption, and the wear-resistant parts consume greatly.

While starting, the main shaft 3 drives three sets of hammer wheel grinding devices to operate, the hammer wheel 17 gradually closes to the inner wall of the grind ring 12, produces a linear pressure to the inner wall of the grind ring 12 under the effect of the inertial centrifugal force and rotates relying on the friction; while materials falling, the hammer wheel 17 grinds the materials, an inertial centrifugal force is simultaneously produced at the other end of the swing arm 18, the swing arm shaft 15 of the swing arm 18 is taken as a fulcrum, based on the principle of planar force system, a balancing moment is produced on the fulcrum, a ground pressure of the hammer wheel 17 can be adjusted by adjusting a corresponding position of the balance hammer 23 or changing a weight thereof According to material grinding levels, the ground pressure of every layer can be set, the ground pressure of the grinding layer without meeting the level requirements is correspondingly adjusted to achieve the best effect.
The rubber material-sorting balance wheel 14 of the material-sorting balance wheel device and the hammer wheel 17 are evenly dislocated and distributed at the same rotary plane. While operating the main shaft 3, the three sets of material-sorting balance wheel devices are driven, the rubber material-sorting balance wheel 14 runs along the inner wall of the grind ring 12 under the effect of the inertial centrifugal force and flexibly contacts with the inner wall of the grind ring 12. Under the loop wall friction, the rubber material-sorting balance wheel 14 also can revolve on its own axis. While materials falling, the rubber material-sorting balance wheel 14 presses the materials to the inner wall of the grind ring 12. After the rubber material-sorting balance wheel 14 leaves, the materials are transiently stagnated and ground by the subsequent hammer wheel 17. If the material bed of the falling materials is uneven, the rubber material-sorting balance wheel 14 is capable of flexibly crushing the materials on the loop wall to the vacancy of the inner wall of the grind ring 12 for stabilizing the material bed so as to allow the hammer wheel 17 to continuously evenly grind the materials.
The material scraping plate 21 is capable of being mounted to the lower portion of every hammer wheel shaft 16, and the shape of the material scraping plate 21 can be a straight line or a curve. While the hammer wheel 17 grinding the materials, the radial micro swing is produced to drive the material scraping plate 21 to vibrate for scraping the materials accumulated on the inner wall of the casing 2.
