  • Patent number: 8583322
    Abstract: A mobile crusher includes: a crusher that crushes raw material; a discharge conveyor being disposed on a downstream side of the crusher to discharge the material crushed by the crusher; an engine that serves as a driving source at least for the crusher and the discharge conveyer; a fuel injection quantity controlling unit that controls a speed of the engine; a crusher pressure sensor that determines a change in a load of the crushed material in the crusher; and a pressure sensor that determines presence or absence of the crushed material to be discharged on the discharge conveyor. When the crusher pressure sensor determines that the load on the crusher is reduced and the pressure sensor determines that the crushed material is not present on the discharge conveyor, the fuel injection quantity controlling unit lowers the speed of the engine to a decelerated speed.

  • Patent number: 7905343
    Abstract: A self-propelled crushing machine is provided which ensures that, even when crushed pieces of an object include a concrete reinforcing steel bar or other like material piece, it is prevented that the concrete reinforcing steel bar will pierce into a conveyor belt. To this end, the crushing machine has a memory for storing a relationship in belt velocities between a conveyor belt and a magnetic separator belt which relationship allows a concrete reinforcing steel bar attracted and adhered to the magnetic separator belt to be taken off of the conveyor belt before the trailing end of the concrete reinforcing steel bar travels past a leading end attraction/adhesion position at which the leading end of the concrete reinforcing steel bar is to be attracted and adhered to the magnetic separator belt.

  • Patent number: 7708218
    Abstract: A jaw crusher includes: a crusher frame to which a cross member for connecting a pair of side wall plates is provided; a fixed jaw; a swing jaw swingably hung between the side wall plates; a pair of toggle link pins both of which are disposed along a common axial direction having a first outer end pivoted on the side plate and a second inner end pivoted on a main supporter provided to the cross member; and a reaction force-receiving link mechanism including a toggle link rotatably supported by the toggle link pin. The main supporter of the cross member on which the second end of the toggle link pin is pivoted is box-shaped.

  • Patent number: 7686241
    Abstract: In a jaw crusher, cheek plates are mounted on side wall plates of a crusher frame by mounting bolts, and the mounting bolt adjacent to the outlet of the jaw crusher can be covered with the swing jaw by adjustment of an outlet gap-adjusting link mechanism. When the jaw crusher is in operation, the mounting bolt is covered by the swing jaw to avoid contact with raw materials, so that abrasion of and damages to the mounting bolt can be prevented. Thus, a longer lifetime of the jaw crusher can be promoted. Besides, since abrasion of and damages to the mounting bolt can be prevented, a mounting structure of the cheek plate can be stronger.

  • Patent number: 7293725
    Abstract: In an impact crusher, a rise of an advancing-retracting portion (65) of a gap adjuster (60) caused when a rebound plate (33) touches a rotor (32) or the rotation amount of the rotor (32) is detected to determine a zero-point position of the rebound plate (33) is determined based on the detected result, so that the zero-point position can be securely determined since it is not necessary to touch and vibrate the rebound plate with the rotor rotating at a high speed, and since the rebound plate (33) is not vibrated, the zero-point position can be securely determined without being influenced by the abrasion of the rebound plate (33) and the impact plate (322), thereby accurately adjusting gap (C).
