Definitions

  • roller press is used in technology synonymously with the term “material bed roller mill”.
  • the “support structure” refers to the substructure of the rollers of the roller press, that is, the construction that is required for the storage of the rollers.
  • the supporting structure can in particular comprise a supporting steel building construction and foundations.
  • the rollers are suitable for grinding the ground material.
  • such rolls generally have a diameter of at least 1.0 m, in particular of 1.5 m, and have a mass of 60 t to 100 t.
  • Operating forces can occur in the grinding operation, which are in the range of 50 MN to 100 MN and can therefore exceed the weight forces of the rollers by approx. A factor of 100.
  • the grinding gap typically has a width of a few centimeters, in particular it is in the range between 10 mm and 70 mm.
  • the term "swivel device” describes a part of the supporting structure on which at least one of the rollers, in particular exactly one roller, is mounted.
  • the swivel devices can be swiveled about their swivel axis, which means that the roller mounted on the swivel device can be moved relative to the rest of the supporting structure in the course of the swiveling of the swivel device, in particular on a circular arc.
  • the swivel devices can in particular be formed by a support arm formed by steel, wherein the swivel devices are pivoted by means of the at least one pressing device.
  • the “pressing device” is generally suitable for generating a compressive or a tensile force. It is therefore an active element that creates a force by supplying external energy. Such a pressing device can in particular be formed by a hydraulic device.
  • roller presses are used in particular to shred rock and minerals, so that individual fractions can be separated from the rock.
  • a typical area of application for such roller presses is the extraction of raw materials, in which overburden from a mine has to be crushed and broken up in order to extract the desired valuable materials from the rock.
  • the DE 10 2013 010 220 A1 shows a so-called "high pressure roller press", in which two rollers are movably mounted on respective pendulums.
  • the pendulums are each rotatably supported in a steel supporting structure, so that the rollers can move in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal axes.
  • the rollers jointly delimit a grinding gap, the pendulums being coupled to one another by means of a spring device, so that a pushing apart of the two rolls as a result of operating forces is counteracted by an opposite effect of the spring device on the pendulums.
  • the FR 2 755 881 A a roller mill, in particular for cereals or the like, that is to say foodstuffs, the roller mill being provided with pendulum-shaped bearing arms for storing both rollers in each case.
  • the bearing arms are aligned vertically and are each supported at their upper ends with the help of an axis in a machine frame.
  • On the underside of the bearing arms these are coupled to one another via a cylinder which is connected to a nitrogen gas reservoir, that is to say a gas spring, in order to keep the grinding pressure constant.
  • “adjustable stop means” are provided on the underside of the pendulum arms in the vicinity of each of the aforementioned cylinders, which stop means are intended to fix the nip.
  • WO 2006/045256 A1 a three-roller mill for dispersing and evenly distributing solid particles suspended in a binder.
  • the middle roll is fixedly mounted in the frame, whereas the two are movably mounted relative to it in relation to the outer rolls.
  • one roller is thus stationary, while the other is movable relative to it.
  • the mill comprises two rollers arranged parallel to one another, which together delimit a grinding gap.
  • One of the rollers is fixed, while the other roller is movably mounted.
  • the mobility of the latter roller serves to change the size of the grinding gap.
  • the movably mounted roller can be moved by means of a piston drive.
  • the roller is rotatably mounted on an upper pivot bearing.
  • actuating the piston drive a lower connection point of the bearing of the movable roller is moved in the direction of the fixed roller, the entire bearing including the roller rotating about the upper rotary bearing and thereby causing a translational movement of the roller.
  • the grinding gap between the two rollers is reduced by extending the piston of the piston drive.
  • the WO 2005/102531 A1 pointed.
  • This also shows a grain mill in which a grinding gap is limited by means of two rollers arranged parallel to one another.
  • This invention has set itself the task of automatically changing the distance between the two rollers from one another, the grinding gap depending on a loading of the same with regrind. It is particularly important that the rollers automatically move away from one another as soon as no regrind is added from above. In this way, excessive wear of the rollers by direct contact with them can be prevented. This is achieved in that - as soon as a regrind is introduced into the grinding gap - a vertically downward force is exerted on the right roller, which leads to the loose roller being moved towards the other roller. As soon as there is no more material to be ground, the contact pressure automatically drops out and the loose roller is moved away from the other roller again, which increases the grinding gap to its maximum size.
  • EP 2 662 143 A1 Another state of the art is the European patent application EP 2 662 143 A1 pointed.
  • This describes a roller press with two mutually assigned, horizontally oriented rollers, a method for exchanging one of the rollers being proposed in particular.
  • a lifting tool is used, which is positioned next to the roller press.
  • This lifting tool comprises a swivel mount, by means of which the roll to be changed can be "pivoted" laterally out of the latter after its release from the other roller press and can thus be transferred to the lifting tool. The roll can then be removed using the lifting tool.
  • roller presses have in common that changing the rollers is particularly complex. It goes without saying that the rollers of a roller press suitable for grinding stone and minerals are exposed to particularly high loads and are subject to a correspondingly high level of wear. An exchange of the rolls is therefore necessary at certain intervals in order to maintain the performance of the roll press.
  • rollers In the prior art, to change the rollers, it is regularly necessary to dismantle a considerable part of the roller press so that the rollers can be "exposed” and then removed.
  • the rollers are removed upward and / or laterally, in each case perpendicular to their axes of rotation, from their bearings from the supporting structure, in particular by means of a load crane.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method which simplifies a change of roles compared to the prior art.
  • the underlying object is achieved on the basis of a method of the type described in the introduction by the following method step: c) The idler roller is lowered relative to the supporting structure from its operating position before it moves parallel to the rotary axis.
  • both rollers are transported away from the supporting structure and lowered relative to the supporting structure parallel to their axes of rotation relative to the supporting structure.
  • the method according to the invention has many advantages. These result from the fact that, in contrast to the prior art, the loose roller cannot be moved perpendicular to its axis of rotation but parallel to it.
  • dismantling directions which are used in the state of the art, in particular a direction upwards as well as perpendicular to the axis of rotation to the side come into question.
  • the idler roller is lowered relative to the supporting structure prior to its movement parallel to the axis of rotation and is thus moved, so to speak, "down" from its operating position in which it was previously mounted on the supporting structure. In this way, a later collision of the idler roller with the support structure in the course of the axis-parallel movement of the idler roller can be avoided.
  • This procedure is particularly simple if a free space is available below the idler roller, the height of which is suitable for transporting the idler roller.
  • the "downward" removal described is also particularly advantageous if the space below the idler roller is free even when the roller press is in operation load-bearing components, so that in advance of the dismantling of a role, complex preparatory work such as dismantling essential parts of the supporting structure can be omitted.
  • the idler roller is preferably lowered to such an extent that a collision of the idler roller with the supporting structure in the course of its movement parallel to the axis of rotation is avoided, preferably lowering the idler roller within a range between 3 cm and 30 cm, preferably between 4 cm and 25 cm, more preferably between 5 cm and 20 cm.
  • the movement of at least the idler roller in a direction parallel to its axis of rotation largely avoids a collision with the supporting structure, so that little or no measures have to be taken to remove the respective roller. This considerably speeds up the process of changing the loose roll and shortens the service life of the roll press accordingly.
  • the idler roller In order to completely remove the idler roller from the support structure, it is particularly advantageous if it is first moved parallel to its axes of rotation by at least its entire length, the "length" of the roller including its stub shaft end. It goes without saying that one end of the idler roller facing away from the direction of movement should be completely removed from the supporting structure so that it can then be transported away freely. In order to pass a bearing of the roller of its end facing the direction of movement, it is therefore advantageous if it is moved at least over its entire length.
  • the idler roller With regard to the direction of movement of the idler roller, it is also particularly advantageous if it turns away from its associated drive device.
  • the latter serve to drive the roller and for this purpose are connected to a shaft of the roller in a torque-transmitting manner.
  • the associated drive device Before dismantling a roller, the associated drive device must be disconnected from the roller, the drive device being arranged next to the roller in an axial extension of the respective roller. In order to avoid dismantling the drive device, the roller should therefore be moved in a direction facing away from the drive device.
  • the idler roller is released from the supporting structure by lifting bearing surfaces of the idler roller from corresponding bearing surfaces of the swivel devices, the idler roller preferably being lifted by a maximum of 3 cm, more preferably by a maximum of 1.5 cm.
  • the purpose of lifting the roller is only to lift it from its bearing seat. Therefore is basically already a minimal increase is sufficient, at the end of which the idler roller and the pivoting devices should be disconnected, so that the pivoting devices can be moved independently of the idler roller and can be moved away accordingly.
  • the lowering of the idler roller is advantageously the first step in the course of its movement relative to the supporting structure. In other words, the idler roller is advantageously first lowered from its operating position and only then moved parallel to its axis of rotation.
  • the pivoting device should be moved after its release from the idler roller such that the idler roller is freely movable relative to the pivoting devices, in particular in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • Such a movement of the swivel devices can be generated particularly easily by means of the pressing device (s), which, instead of exerting a compressive force for pressing the idler roller against the other roller, advantageously exert a tensile force on the swivel device (s) around a bearing point of the idler roller on the swivel device as far as possible from the other roll, preferably at least so far that the idler roll is free.
  • the loose roller is removed from the supporting structure by means of a transport vehicle after it has been dismantled.
  • the vehicle is preferably positioned below the roller so that the roller can be placed on the transport vehicle and can then be driven off.
  • the transport vehicle can be positioned directly below the idler roller, that is, within a free space that extends below the roller.
  • the transport vehicle is preferably guided on rails which extend at least partially below the rollers, so that the transport vehicle can travel under the rollers.
  • a transport vehicle it is particularly advantageous if the latter is equipped with a lifting device which is arranged from the transport vehicle.
  • a roller to be dismantled can first be raised - as described above - in order to lift it with its bearing surfaces from corresponding bearing surfaces of the supporting structure or the pivoting devices and in this way to detach them from the supporting structure.
  • no further device in particular no load crane, is necessary to lift the respective roller.
  • Such a hoist can in particular be designed in the form of a hydraulically driven table which can be raised perpendicularly to a transport plane of the transport vehicle. It is advantageous if a contact surface on which the respective roll is to lie is curved and in particular is adapted to a curvature of a lateral surface of the roll. In this way the roller can be stored on the hoist in a stable equilibrium and in particular cannot "roll down" to the side of the same.
  • the transport vehicle has a hoist
  • the hoist can be positioned relative to the roll to be lifted, while a position of the transport vehicle does not have to be adjusted.
  • the latter preferably has a width which corresponds to at least a sum of the diameters of the two rollers, so that the hoist can be easily moved under both rollers.
  • the other roller is further dismantled after the loose roller, in particular in the same way as the loose roller.
  • the loose roll is first dismantled and only then the other roll. This is especially true if the other role is a fixed role.
  • rollers are each supported on stub shaft ends.
  • this is carried out by means of the swivel devices, in the case of a fixed roller by means of corresponding bearing points on the supporting structure.
  • the rollers In order to be able to be moved parallel to their axes of rotation, the rollers must be free at least to one side, that is to say with one that is parallel to the axis of rotation Do not collide movement with the supporting structure.
  • the idler roller such a “release” is particularly simple, as explained above, by pivoting the pivoting devices into a changing position. A comparable release is not possible with a fixed roller, however, because the bearing points of the fixed roller are not movable.
  • the method according to the invention can be carried out particularly well by means of a roller press and a transport vehicle for dismantling rollers of the roller press, the roller press comprising at least one supporting structure and at least two rollers mounted on the supporting structure, the rollers being rotatable about an axis of rotation when the roller press is in operation, wherein each axis of rotation extends in the longitudinal direction of the associated roller, the axes of rotation being oriented parallel to one another and horizontally, so that the rollers jointly delimit a grinding gap into which the ground material can be input and then can be ground between the rollers, the transport vehicle comprising at least one lifting device, the hoist being movable perpendicular to a horizontal transport plane relative to the rest of the transport vehicle, perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the transport vehicle and parallel to the transport plane relative to the rest of the transport vehicle.
  • the support structure has a free space below the rollers, into which the transport vehicle can enter, so that the transport vehicle can come into contact with at least one of the rollers from its underside, wherein at least one roller can be lowered relative to the support structure by means of the lifting device.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly well suited to grip at least one roller, preferably both rollers, from the underside thereof and then to lower it relative to the supporting structure to such an extent that a collision with a subsequent movement of the respective roller in its direction parallel to the axis of rotation with the supporting structure is not to be feared.
  • disassembly of further parts of the supporting structure can largely be dispensed with.
  • the change of the role (s) is therefore considerably simplified when using the device according to the invention.
  • the one below the space created by the rollers is particularly well suited for accommodating a transport vehicle described above and in this way completely dismantles the rollers without the use of a goods crane or the like.
  • free space is to be understood in such a way that the associated space is free “components that support the loose roller”. This is of particular importance insofar as the free space does not have to be used to support the loose roll. This means that all components that could be set up in the free space (regrind hopper, partition walls, press housing, etc.) may extend within the free space, but are only important for the operation of the roller press, not for their static integrity. It follows from this that a “free space” referred to here is also free space in the sense of the present application if it is spatially blocked by various components in an operating state. In any case, these components can be easily removed, so that the described advantage of accessibility of at least the idler roller from its underside is retained in the course of a roller change.
  • a vertically measured height of the free space is advantageously at least 0.5 m, preferably at least 0.75 m, more preferably at least 1.0 m. These dimensions make it possible to disassemble the loose roller from its underside, for example by means of a transport vehicle that can move on rails.
  • the free space thus defined extends, at least in the case of the loose roller, preferably in the case of both rollers, over the entire width of the respective roller and / or over an entire axial length of the respective roller, which has this measured parallel to its axis of rotation. This ensures that the respective roller can move within the free space, in particular can be lowered into the free space and can be moved parallel to its axis of rotation within the free space.
  • the supporting structure comprises at least two half frames, the half frames being arranged one behind the other as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the rollers and each half frame interacting with at least one of the swivel devices and in each case at least one support and has at least one rigid bar connected to the support.

A deflection of the rollers 3, 4 relative to one another as a result of operating forces can consequently be recorded in the roller press 1 shown here exclusively by means of a movement of the idler roller 4 and an associated (minimal) pivoting of the pivoting devices 9, 10 .
  • the roller press 1 shown has the particular advantage that its geometric design enables a particularly favorable course of forces and thus a particularly slim design of the two half frames 25, 26 . This results particularly well from the representations according to the Figures 1 and 5 , In the following consideration, only operating forces are taken into account which act on the rollers 3, 4 during the operation of the roller press 1 . These operating forces are about an order of magnitude 10 2 above the weight forces exerted by the rollers 3, 4 , so that a pure consideration of the operating forces to explain a state of force during operation of the roller press 1 is permissible.
  • the operating forces acting on the rollers 3, 4 act almost exclusively in the horizontal direction on the rollers 3, 4.
  • the rollers 3, 4 accordingly endeavor to move away from one another.
  • the fixed roller 3 has no possibility for this due to its fixed mounting.
  • the idler roller 4 can move at least minimally against forces applied to the swivel devices 9, 10 by means of the pressing devices 5 , with deflections of a maximum of a few centimeters occurring during operation.
  • the loose roller 4 it emerges that the operating forces, starting from the loose roller 4, are first introduced into the swivel devices 9, 10 and then starting from the same into the rest of the supporting structure 2 .
  • this introduction takes place at two locations per swivel device 9, 10 , namely on the swivel bearing 34 and by means of the associated pressing device 5.
  • the pressing device 5 is designed in the static sense as a so-called pendulum rod, it follows that the pressing device 5 is not suitable for the transmission of torques, but can only transmit compressive and tensile forces.
  • a line of action of a transferred by means of a respective pressing device 5 motor 32 extends through the end articulated connection points of the pressing device 5, in this case by the engagement point 12 and the spherical bearings 52.
  • the line of action 29 of the fixed roller 3 (or of their bearing points 37) and the action line 32 of the pressing devices 5 intersect with each other at an action line intersection 41.
  • a resultant 36 which is introduced into the respective bolt 28 of the other supporting structure 2 on the pivot bearing 34 by means of the associated pivoting device 9, 10 , has an action line 35 , which extends between the pivot axis 13 and the effective line intersection 41 .
  • an inclination and a position of the action lines 35 of the resultants 36 acting on the pivot bearings 34 can be determined directly.
  • stiffening rib 57 can be seen , which is suitable for absorbing the forces occurring along this line of action 35 and thus reinforcing the support structure 2 in a targeted manner.
  • the course of the line of action 35 of the largest resultant 36 within the supporting structure 2 contributes to the fact that the occurrence of unfavorable bending moments is reduced and the acting forces can be transferred in substantial parts via compressive and in particular tensile forces.
  • This helps to achieve a particularly slim design of the support structure 2 and here in particular the latch 28 of the half-frames 25, 26.
  • the slim latch 28 in turn has a favorable effect on the height 17 of the free space 16 extending below the rollers 3, 4 , which makes a particular advantageous disassembly of the rollers 3, 4 "from below” is made possible, as follows.
  • the construction of the roller press 1 provides the particular advantage that there is a free space 16 below the rollers 3, 4 which is free of components carrying the rollers 3, 4 . It is basically conceivable that the free space 16 is not completely free of any components; in particular, it is conceivable that auxiliary structures for the removal of the ground material or supporting structures are located within the free space 16 . However, these auxiliary constructions have in common that they are not absolutely necessary for the derivation of either weight forces or operating forces of the rollers 3, 4 and are therefore easily removable.
  • the free space 16 makes it possible to support the rollers 3, 4 from their undersides and to remove them to a certain extent "below" the supporting structure 2 . Since the free space 16 is at least essentially free of solid and non-removable components, it is either constantly free or can be freed of any components using only very little effort, so that a roll change can take place. A time-consuming partial disassembly of the roller press 1, in particular the supporting structure 2, or at least individual essential parts of the same can thus be avoided and consequently downtimes of the roller press 1 can be reduced.
  • the method for roll change is presently carried out using a guided on rails 47 transport vehicle 45, wherein the transport vehicle 45 along its longitudinal axis 49 along the rails 47 is movable.
  • the rails 47 extend parallel to the axes of rotation 6, 7 of the rollers 3, 4 and up to below the rollers 3, 4.
  • a press housing 54 Before dismantling the rollers 3, 4 , a press housing 54 must first be removed, which only serves to house the rollers 3, 4 , in order to avoid unwanted dust and the like during operation of the roller press 1 and to protect the operating personnel from between them rotating rollers 3, 4 to get.
  • the transport carriage 45 can be moved on the rails 47 directly under the rollers 3, 4 .
  • the idler roller 4 is still in an operating position in which it, together with the fixed roller 3, limits the grinding gap 8 .
  • the rollers 3, 4 are positioned at least with part of their circumference or cross-section between the half frames 25, 26 such that a movement of the rollers 3, 4 parallel to their axes of rotation 6, 7 is not possible directly because the rollers 3, 4 would otherwise collide with the supporting structure 2 . It is therefore necessary in the example shown to first move the rollers perpendicularly to their axes of rotation 6, 7 , that is to say in particular to lower them in order to “expose them”. Only then can the rollers be moved along the rails 47 in the axial direction by means of the transport vehicle 45 and finally transported away.
  • the idler roller 4 is supported by means of its roller bearings 56 at the bearing points 11 of the swivel devices 9, 10 .
  • the roller bearings 56 lie here with corresponding bearing surfaces 43 on corresponding bearing surfaces 44 of the swivel devices 9, 10 .
  • their bearing surfaces 43 are first lifted off the bearing surfaces 44 .
  • the transport vehicle 45 has a lifting device 46, which is designed in the form of a hydraulically driven circular arc shell. A curvature of this circular arc shell is adapted to a curvature of the outer surface of the rollers 3, 4 , so that the rollers 3, 4 can rest on the lifting device 46 at least approximately with an accurate fit and with a stable balance.
  • the transport carriage 45 has a width 50 which corresponds approximately to a sum of the diameters of the two rollers 3, 4 .
  • the hoist 46 in turn has a width 51 which corresponds approximately to a diameter of a roller 3, 4 ; in the example shown, the width 51 of the lifting device 46 is somewhat smaller than the diameter of the rollers 3, 4.
  • it can advantageously be moved on the transport vehicle 45 , and in a direction perpendicular to the axes of rotation 6, 7 of the rollers 3, 4 and parallel to a transport plane 48 of the transport vehicle 45, that is to say in the horizontal direction. In this way, the hoist 46 can be moved individually under the respective roller 3, 4 to be dismantled.
  • the transport vehicle 45 is moved under the rollers 3, 4 and the lifting device 46 is moved under the loose roller 4 .
  • the hoist 46 is then raised until it comes into contact with the idler roller 4 .
  • the hoist 46 is raised by a further amount in order to lift the roller bearings 56 of the idler roller 4 or the bearing surfaces 43 of the idler roller 4 from their contact surfaces 44 .
  • This further lifting of the hoist 46 together with the loose roller 4 is preferably only a few millimeters up to 1.5 cm.
  • the swivel devices 9, 10 are then moved into their disassembly positions by corresponding actuation of the pressing devices 5 , in which they release the idler roller 4 .
  • the Pressing devices 5 In order to move the swivel devices 9, 10 into these disassembly positions, the Pressing devices 5 at least retracted so far that the idler roller 4 is released. In the course of this retraction of the pressing devices 5 , their respective reciprocating pistons 55 are typically completely retracted into their associated lifting cylinders, the pivoting devices 9, 10 being pivoted about their pivot axes 13 .
  • the idler roller 4 can then be freely moved downwards.
  • a movement in the direction of the axis of rotation 7 of the idler roller 4 is not yet possible, since the idler roller 4 would collide with the bolt 28 of the front half frame 25 , which is remote from the respective drive device. It goes without saying that removal of the rollers 3, 4 along parallels to their axes of rotation 6, 7 is particularly advantageous in the direction in which the drive devices of the rollers 3, 4 are not located.
  • the former is then lowered again by means of the lifting device 46 ( Figure 6i ) and the loose roller 4 is then transported along the rails 47 ( Figure 6i ).
  • the lowering of the loose roller 4 takes place here by a dimension of approx. 50 mm.
