  • 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: 8042753
    Abstract: A mobile crusher includes: a crusher having a fixed jaw and a swing jaw and adjusting an outlet gap between lower ends of the fixed jaw and the swing jaw, the crusher crushing raw materials by swing movement of the swing jaw toward the fixed jaw and discharging the raw materials crushed by the crusher from the outlet gap to produce crushed materials; a work implement disposed on an upper stream or a lower stream of the crusher to produce the crushed materials; and a controller that controls a work implement speed of the work implement depending on the outlet gap.

  • Publication number: 20110077821
    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 (49) that serves as a driving source at least for the crusher and the discharge conveyer; a fuel injection quantity controlling unit (711) that controls a speed of the engine (49); a crusher pressure sensor (57) that determines a change in a load of the crushed material in the crusher; and a pressure sensor (51) that determines presence or absence of the crushed material to be discharged on the discharge conveyor. When the crusher pressure sensor (57) determines that the load on the crusher is reduced and the pressure sensor (51) determines that the crushed material is not present on the discharge conveyor, the fuel injection quantity controlling unit (711) lowers the speed of the engine (49) to a decelerated speed.
