Description
Technical Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a jaw crusher
comprising a stationary jaw and a movable jaw forming
between them a variable crushing gap, a toggle beam
having a piston rod arrangement seat, a toggle plate ar-
ranged between the toggle beam and the movable jaw,
a first toggle plate seat arranged between the toggle plate
and the movable jaw, a second toggle plate seat arranged
between the toggle plate and the toggle beam, and a
positioning device having a movable piston rod arrange-
ment, which is received by the piston rod arrangement
seat of the toggle beam, for positioning the movable jaw.
Background Art
[0002] Jaw crushers are utilized in many applications
for crushing hard material, such as pieces of rock, ore,
etc. A jaw crusher has a movable jaw that cooperates
with a stationary jaw. Between the jaws a crushing gap
is formed. The size of the crushing gap is often adjustable
by means of a hydraulic ram which is connected to the
movable jaw via a toggle plate and a toggle beam. Ad-
justment of the movable jaw position may be carried out
to compensate for wear of wear parts and/or to adjust
the size of the crushed material. In order to secure that
the toggle plate is seated in a proper manner a jaw crush-
er may be provided with an arrangement that exerts a
tensioning force acting to tension the toggle plate against
toggle plate seats.
[0003] US 4 637 562 discloses a jaw crusher with a
toggle plate tensioning device where a compression
spring exerts a force acting to tension the toggle plate
against its respective toggle seats. US 4 637 562 also
discloses a hydraulic mechanism for adjusting the posi-
tion of the movable jaw.
[0004] However, with the design described in US 4 637
562 it may be difficult to secure a proper positioning of
the toggle plate due to backlash arising during a crusher
operation. Especially, upon presence of un-crushable
material in the crusher such backlash may arise.
[0005] Another example of a jaw crusher with a toggle
plate tensioning device is disclosed in US 2005/0082403
A.
Summary of the Invention
[0006] It is an object of the present invention to solve,
or at least mitigate, parts or all of the above mentioned
problems.
[0007] This object is achieved by means of a jaw crush-
er comprising a stationary jaw and a movable jaw forming
between them a variable crushing gap, a toggle beam
having a piston rod arrangement seat, a toggle plate ar-
ranged between the toggle beam and the movable jaw,
a first toggle plate seat arranged between the toggle plate
2
and the movable jaw, a second toggle plate seat arranged
between the toggle plate and the toggle beam, and a
positioning device having a movable piston rod arrange-
ment, which is received by the piston rod arrangement
5 seat of the toggle beam, for positioning the movable jaw,
wherein the jaw crusher further comprises a toggle plate
squeezing device comprising a contraction member, the
squeezing device having a first mounting member which
is connected to the movable jaw, and a second mounting
10 member which is connected to the movable piston rod
arrangement, to exert a pressing force on the first toggle
plate seat, the second toggle plate seat and the piston
rod arrangement seat.
[0008] An advantage of this jaw crusher is that the tog-
15 gle beam may be freely and movably arranged to a piston
rod arrangement of the positioning device allowing the
toggle beam to twist independently upon presence of un-
crushable material, sometimes referred to as "tramp ma-
terial", in the crusher, and/or upon uneven feeding of ma-
20 terial to an intake of the crusher. A further advantage of
this jaw crusher is that a backlash free connection be-
tween the toggle beam and the positioning device for
positioning the movable jaw may be achieved. This is
possible since the squeezing device is connected to the
25 hydraulic device in such a manner that the squeezing
device always exerts a pressing force to each of the first
toggle plate seat, the second toggle plate seat and the
piston rod arrangement seat during a crusher operation
and thus compensates for wear not only at the toggle
30 plate seats but also at the piston rod arrangement seat.
The pressing force exerted to each of the first toggle plate
seat, the second toggle plate seat and the piston rod
arrangement seat acts to avoid backlash and to hold the
toggle plate in a proper position during a crusher opera-
35 tion. Hence, a backlash-free connection that fully squeez-
es the toggle plate against its seats and simultaneously
squeezes the piston arrangement against its seat is pro-
vided. Even upon the relative movements arising due to
the presence of un-crushable material in the crusher
40 backlash will be avoided.
[0009] The toggle plate squeezing device is preferably
at least partly turnable around an axis extending through
the first and second mounting members in order to allow
relative movements, e.g. upon presence of un-crushable
45 material in the crusher, in several directions.
[0010] Preferably, at least one of the toggle beam and
the piston rod seat comprises a curved joint surface to
provide a robust and stable connection between the tog-
gle beam and the piston rod arrangement and to allow
50 relative movement between the toggle beam and the hy-
draulic positioning device in a smooth and safe manner.
[0011] The piston rod arrangement preferably com-
prises a piston rod head member having a curved joint
surface facing the piston rod seat.
55 [0012] The second mounting member of the toggle
plate squeezing device is preferably mounted turnable
on the movable piston rod arrangement. This has the
advantage that relative turning between the piston rod
2
 3 EP 2 564 928 B1
arrangement and the toggle plate squeezing device
around an axis parallel to the piston rod is allowed.
[0013] Preferably, the second mounting member of the
toggle plate squeezing device comprises a guide sleeve
which is arranged around the piston rod of the piston rod
arrangement to allow relative rotation between the piston
rod arrangement and the toggle plate squeezing device
around an axis parallel to the piston rod.
[0014] The piston rod head member preferably com-
prises a shoulder portion forming an abutment surface
which is configured for abutment against the guide sleeve
of the second mounting member. This has the advantage
that a pressing force is exerted from the device to the
seat via the piston rod arrangement in a very robust and
stable manner.
[0015] The contraction member of the toggle plate
squeezing device preferably comprises a compression
spring and/or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0016] Furthermore, a method of squeezing a toggle
plate of a jaw crusher comprising: a stationary jaw and
a movable jaw forming between them a variable crushing
gap, a toggle beam having a piston rod arrangement seat,
a toggle plate arranged between the toggle beam and
the movable jaw, a first toggle plate seat arranged be-
tween the toggle plate and the movable jaw, a second
toggle plate seat arranged between the toggle plate and
the toggle beam, and a hydraulic device having a mov-
able piston rod arrangement, which is received by the
piston rod arrangement seat of the toggle beam, for po-
sitioning the movable jaw is considered. The method in-
volves applying a squeezing force between the movable
jaw and the movable piston rod arrangement to exert a
pressing force on the first toggle plate seat, the second
toggle plate seat and the piston rod arrangement seat.
[0017] This method has the advantage that a toggle
plate is held in position in a very robust and stable man-
ner. Furthermore, backlash between the positioning de-
vice and the toggle beam will be avoided.

Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments of the
Invention
[0019] Fig. 1 is a cross-section and illustrates, sche-
5 matically, a jaw crusher 1 according to an embodiment
of the present invention. The jaw crusher 1 comprises a
movable jaw 3 and a stationary jaw 5 forming between
them a variable crushing gap. The movable jaw 3 is driven
by an eccentric shaft 7 which causes the movable jaw 3
10 to move back and forth, up and down relative to the sta-
tionary jaw 5.
[0020] The inertia required to crush material fed to the
crusher is provided by a weighted flywheel 9 operable to
move the eccentric shaft 7 on which the movable jaw 3
15 is mounted. A motor (not shown) is operative for rotating
the flywheel 9. The stationary jaw 5 is provided with a
wear plate 6, and the movable jaw 3 is provided with a
wear plate 8. The movement of the eccentric shaft 7 thus
causes an eccentric motion of the movable jaw 3. Material
20 to be crushed is fed to an intake 2 for material to be
crushed. The crushed material leaves the crusher via an
outlet 4 for material that has been crushed. The jaws 3,
5 are farther apart at the material intake 2 than at the
material outlet 4, forming a tapered crushing chamber so
25 that the material is crushed progressively to smaller and
smaller sizes as the material travels downward towards
the outlet 4 until the material is small enough to escape
from the material outlet 4 at the bottom of the crushing
chamber.
30 [0021] The crusher 1 comprises a toggle plate 11, a
toggle beam 13, a first toggle plate seat 15 arranged at
the lower end of the movable jaw 3 and a second toggle
plate seat 17 arranged along a front edge of the toggle
beam 13. The toggle plate 11 is seated between the first
35 15 and second 17 toggle plate seats.
[0022] The crusher 1 comprises a hydraulic positioning
device 23 for positioning the movable jaw 3 to a desired
position, i.e. to a desired closed side setting. By "closed
side setting" is meant the shortest distance between the
40 wear plate 6 of the stationary jaw 5 and the wear plate 8
of the movable jaw 3. For instance, the hydraulic posi-
tioning device 23 can be used to adjust the position of
the movable jaw 3 to compensate for wear of the wear
plates 6, 8 against which material is crushed. Further-
45 more, the hydraulic positioning device 23 may also be
used for adjusting the position of the movable jaw 3 to
adapt the jaw crusher 1 for crushing various types of ma-
terials, and to obtain various average sizes of the crushed
material.
50 [0023] Referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, which show parts
of the crusher shown in Fig. 1, the jaw crusher 1 will
hereinafter be further described. The toggle beam 13,
which has a generally rectangular cross section, is slid-
ably arranged along guide plates 14, of which one is vis-
55 ible in Fig. 2. Upper and lower guide plates 14, best il-
lustrated in Fig. 4, are mounted in elongated apertures
at respective side walls of the crusher 1. The toggle beam
13 and, hence, the movable jaw 3, are thus displaceable
3
 5 EP 2 564 928 B1
towards and away from the stationary jaw 5 under the
guidance of the guide plates 14. Since the toggle beam
13 is slidable various closed side settings can be set, as
will be described hereinafter.
[0024] Returning to Fig. 2, the hydraulic positioning de-
vice 23 comprises a double acting hydraulic cylinder hav-
ing a piston rod arrangement 25. The piston rod arrange-
ment 25 abuts the toggle beam 13. The piston rod ar-
rangement 25 comprises a piston rod 27 and a piston
rod head member 29 rigidly attached to the piston rod 27
such that the head member 29 moves with the piston rod
27. The piston rod head member 29 has a curved front
portion 31 facing the toggle beam 13. The curved front
portion 31 of the piston rod head member 29 is arranged
to abut the back edge of the toggle beam 13. The toggle
beam 13 thus comprises a curved piston arrangement
seat 21, in the form of a toggle beam portion having a
surface facing the piston rod arrangement 25. The curved
front portion 31 of the piston rod head member 29 abuts
the curved piston arrangement seat 21 as illustrated in
Fig. 2. The piston rod head member 29 has a radially
projecting shoulder portion 33 forming an abutment sur-
face that abuts a guide sleeve of a toggle plate squeezing
device 35, as will be described in more detail hereinafter.
[0025] The toggle plate squeezing device 35 compris-
es a contraction member, in the form of a compression
spring 37, a first mounting member 39 which is connected
to the movable jaw 3 and a second mounting member
41, best illustrated in Fig. 3, which is connected to the
piston rod arrangement 25. The toggle plate squeezing
device 35 is pivotally connected to a mounting bracket
of the movable jaw 3 by the first mounting member 39.
A rod 45 is at one end 45a connected to the first mounting
member 39 and is at the other end 45b connected to a
spring seat 47. The compression spring 37 is seated be-
tween the spring seat 47 and an annular collar 49 which
is pivotally connected to a first 51 and second 53 linkage
rods respectively. Each of the linkage rods 51, 53 is piv-
otally connected to the second mounting member 41 of
the toggle plate squeezing device 35. The second mount-
ing member 41 comprises a guide sleeve 55 which is
movably arranged around the piston rod head member
29 of the piston rod arrangement 25 for abutment against
the shoulder portion 33 of the piston rod head member
29. The toggle plate squeezing device 35 is at least partly
turnable around the piston rod head member 29 to which
the toggle plate squeezing device 35 is connected by the
guide sleeve 55. The toggle plate squeezing device 35
is turnable around a geometrical axis extending through
the piston rod 27. As best illustrated in Fig. 2, the guide
sleeve 55 has a certain ability to move freely, and to be
turned around an axis extending through the guide sleeve
55, by means of a gap formed between the shoulder por-
tion 33 of the piston rod head member 29 and the piston
rod 27.
[0026] The toggle plate squeezing device 35 is thus
arranged to exert a pressing force, exerted by the com-
pression spring 37, simultaneously acting on the first tog-
6
gle plate seat 15, the second toggle plate seat 17 and
the piston rod arrangement seat 21. Furthermore, the
toggle plate squeezing device 35 has the ability to be
turned around various axes, as an effect of, for example,
5 un-crushable objects entering the crusher, or as an effect
of uneven feeding of material over the intake 2, without
losing its squeezing effect.
[0027] Initially, i.e. before running a crusher operation,
the movable jaw 3 is normally adjusted using the hydrau-
10 lic positioning device 23 until a desired closed side setting
is reached. The size of the crushing gap may thus be
adjusted by means of the hydraulic positioning device 23
which abuts the movable jaw 3 via the toggle plate 11
and the toggle beam 13.
15 [0028] During operation, the movable jaw 3 may be
held in a desired position, i.e., in a desired closed side
setting, either by means of the hydraulic positioning de-
vice 23, or by means of mechanical spacer elements.
Typically, the hydraulic positioning device 23 would be
20 utilized for holding the movable jaw 3 in position when
the crushing forces are moderate, and/or when there is
a substantial risk that un-crushable objects are fed to the
jaw crusher 1 via the intake 2. The hydraulic positioning
device 23 may be provided with a relief system relieving
25 hydraulic pressure, and hence relieving crushing forces,
when an un-crushable object is fed to the jaw crusher 1.
On the other hand, when crushing occurs with high crush-
ing forces and/or at a low risk of un-crushable objects
being fed to the jaw crusher 1, then the jaw crusher 1
30 may be operated with mechanical spacer elements keep-
ing the movable jaw 3 in position during crushing. Hence,
the jaw crusher 1 may be operated in two different modes:
either with the hydraulic positioning device 23 or with
mechanical spacer elements keeping the movable jaw 3
35 in position.
[0029] When operating the jaw crusher 1 with mechan-
ical spacer elements in order to set the movable jaw 3 in
a desired position spacer elements, in the form of shims
57, may be arranged between the toggle beam 13 and
40 a shim supporting element 59, as illustrated in Fig 4.
Shims of various widths may thus be used to set a desired
closed side setting. The shims enable an operator to se-
lect a suitable combination of shims for a particular po-
sition of the toggle beam 13, and thereby the movable
45 jaw 3, relative to the stationary jaw 5. The crusher 1 com-
prises a set of shims 57 comprising shims with various
widths arranged between the toggle beam 13 and the
supporting element 59. During operation in this mode
crushing forces are transmitted from the movable jaw 3,
50 via the toggle plate 11, the seats 15, 17, the toggle beam
13, and the set of shims 57, to the supporting element
59 and further to the support structures of the jaw crusher
1.
[0030] When operating the jaw crusher 1 with the hy-
55 draulic positioning device 23 holding the movable jaw 3
in position, the hydraulic positioning device 23 is kept
pressurized during crusher operation, such that crushing
forces are transmitted from the movable jaw 3, via the
4
 7 EP 2 564 928 B1
toggle plate 11, the seats 15, 17, the toggle beam 13,
the curved piston arrangement seat 21, and the curved
front portion 31, to the piston rod 27 and further to the
support structures of the jaw crusher 1.
[0031] It will be appreciated that numerous modifica-
tions of the embodiments described above are possible
within the scope of the appended claims.
[0032] Hereinbefore, it has been described that the
contraction member 37 comprises a compression spring
37, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. It will be appreciated
that other types of contraction members 37 could also
be utilized. Examples of other types of contraction mem-
bers 37 include hydraulic cylinders, and combinations of
hydraulic cylinders and springs.
[0033] Hereinbefore it has been described that the po-
sitioning device 23 is a hydraulic positioning device 23
for hydraulically controlling the position of the movable
jaw 3. It will be appreciated that other types of the posi-
tioning devices could also be utilized. Examples of such
other types of the positioning devices include spring-
loaded positioning devices, positioning devices involving
threaded bars, and motor controlled positioning devices.
[0034] Hereinbefore it has been illustrated that the first
and second mounting members 39, 41 of the squeezing
device 35 are connected to the movable jaw 3, and the
piston rod arrangement 25, respectively. It will be appre-
ciated that such connections could include various link-
ages, rods, etc., connecting the respective mounting
member 39, 41 to the respective jaw 3 and piston rod
arrangement 25.
