Description

W~ 93/12~83 2 12 7 3 ~ 3 PCI/CA92/00567 IMPACT CRUSHER

Technical Field The invention re,ates to pulverizers of the type which use rotating hammers.

Background Art Pulverizing apparatus, known as hammer mills, for crushing rocks, etcetera, are known, which use swinging hammers, pivotally mounted on a rotating axis within a casing. See, for example, United States Patent No.
1,646,720. Typically, one or more hammers rotate rapidly about a central shaft. The rapidly rotating hammers strike and crush the rocks. The rocks are then screened to ensure crushing to the appropriate size. See also, U.S. patents 1,013,527; 1,721,821 and 2,169,684. These existing hammer mill rock pulverizers tend to jam frequently, particularly if traces of moisture are present, and are not useful for produc-ing a continuous supply of pulverized rock of the proper consistency.
Current environmental concerns dictate that glass bottles be recycled rather than disposed of in land fills.
For a number of reasons, including cost, it is prefera~le in many situations to crush the glass bottles into a fine sand, and use such sand for other purposes such as covering land fill. Such sand should be of uniform particle size to avoid hazards. Hence there is a need for a pulverizing apparatus which is well suited for crushing glass into a uniform sand.
Summarv of the Invention _T~e present invention therefore provides a crushing apparatus comprising a housing comprising first and second cylindrical chambers, the first chamber having an inlet for input of material to be crushed, and the second chamber having an outlet for expulsion of crushed material. An axle is mounted for rotation in the housing and provided with means for rotating the axle. Hammers are mounted for rotation in the first chamber. Blades are mounted for WO93/12883 PCT/CA92/00~67 ro~ation in the second chamber and have an extended surface adapted for moving air in the second chamber. A flywheel is mounted for rotation on the rotating axle and forms a central wall between the first and second chamber while being adapted to leave a clearance between the first and second chamber sufficient for movement of crushed par-ticles.

Brief Description of Drawinas Figure 1 is a front view of the invention, with the in~erior details shown;
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken through lines 2 - 2 of Figure 1 ;
Figure 3 is a rear view of the invention, with the interior details shown;
Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken through lines 4 - 4 of Figure 3; and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view similar to that of Figure 2, with inlet and outlet chutes removed for ease of reference, of a s~cond embodiment of the invention incor-porating means for facilitating adjustment of the flywheel clearance.

Best Mode(s) For Carryinq Out the Invention With reference to the drawings, the apparatus of the invention is designated generally as 10. It has a casing 12, provided with an inlet chute 13, into which glass bottles are fed and an outlet chute 15 from which the crus ~d glass is expelled from the machine. Casing 12 is secured to base 11 and has two hollow cylindrical compart-ments 14 and 16. Power-driven shaft 17 extends through the central axis of both compartments and rotates in bearings 54, 55. Suitable power supply means (not shown) is pro-vided to rotate shaft 17. A number of "hammers" 8 aremounted on shaft 17 for rotation in compartment 14.
Hammers 8 are pivotally mounted at the end of arms 20, on WO93~12883 2 12 7 3 6 3 PCT/CA92/00567 axles 21. The ends of axles 21 are fixed in flanges 29 of ~ammer support rotor 27 on shaft 17. The hammer is typical-ly constructed of a heavy, wear-resistant metal such as iron, and faced with a wear resistant material such as carbide.
In chamber 16, flat metal plates 22 are mounted on the ends of arms 24 which similarly rotate on shaft 17.
Plates 22 are fixed rigidly at the ends of arms 24 to act as fans, and are also of metal and are carbide faced, but are lighter and thinner than hammers 8. The radius o~ the circle circumscribed by the end of plates 22 is greater than that of hammers 8. Blades 22 are angled slightly forwardly in the direction of motion and thus provide a surface at an angle slightly less than perpendicular to the direction of angular motion of arms 24. Typically, there will be at least two hammers 8 (only one is shown in Fig.
2 and 4), and possibly a greater number, and four blades 22.
Also mounted on shaft 17 between chambers 14 and 16, is a circular flywheel 26 consisting of a holding plate 33, outer wear ring 31 and ceramic annulus 32. Flywheel 26 is larger in diameter than hammer 8 and is mounted on hammer support rotor 27 and completely separates chambers 14 and 16 except for a small clearance gap 18 between the inside face of the circular flywheel 26 and casing 12. Such inside face is also ~inished with a wear resistant material such as ceramic or carbide. By moving the flywheel 26 in a horizontal direction, the ~imension of gap 18 can be altered, thereby adjusting the particulate size that will pass through the gap. Bolts at 30 connect an outer wear ring 31 to the holding plate 33. Flywheel 26 is constructed of a heavy metal to provide it with considerable angular momentum when rotated. An outer annulus 32 of the flywheel is preferably a ring made of a hard ceramic to improve the wear characteristics of the device. An access hatch 42 is hinged at 44 to permit access to the primary chamber for removal of unwanted objects etc. A water couplin~ ~ is WO93/12~3 PCT/CA92/~567 also provided to permit introduction of water for dust control purposes.
In operation, bottles to be crushed are inserted into inlet 13 and are crushed by rotating hammers 18.
Plates 22 act as fans, forcing air out inlet 15 and creat-ing a low pressure in chamber 16, sucking air and fine particles through gap 18 into chamber 16. Blades 22 further reduce the size of the particles which are there-by sucked into chamber 16 and drive the particles out through outlet 15. Flywheel 26 also acts as-an energy storing device to maintain a constant crushing action. A
screen (not shown~ may also be provided across outlet 15 to ensure that the particles have been crushed to the appro-priate size.
Blades 22 may be slightly raked towards the flywheel across the face to increase the output of the device by grading the material towards the flywheel gap.
Also, chamber 16 may be off centre to allow blades 22 to come close to the upper walls of chamber 16 while allowing particles to collect on the screen across the outlet.
With reference to Fig. 5, in this embodiment a lock nut or collar 50 is provided at the rear of the crusher around the axle 17. Axle 17 is locked in the rear bearings 55 but is free to slide in the front bearings 54.
Pipe 52 is fixed at one end to housing 2 and threaded on the inside diameter of its other end. 8earings 54 are secured to an adjustment plate 56 mounted on pipe 58 which is threaded on its outside diameter. By loosening lock nut 50, adjustment plate 56 may be rotated to move axle 17 relative to the housing 2 and thus changing the flywheel gap 18. When the desired gap has been attained, lock nut 50 is re-tightened.
Also as shown in the embodiment of Fig. S, the casing 12 is divided into a primary housing 1 and secondary housing 2 which are joined by pins 3 along flanges 4. This permits easy access to the interior of the machine for maintenance.
3 2 12 7 ~ 13 3 PCT/CA92/00567 As will be apparent to those skilled in the art in the light of the foregoing disclosure, many alterations and modifications are possible in the praciice of this invention without departing from the spirit or scope thereof. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is to be construed in accordance with the substance defined by the following claims.
