Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for supporting a roller bearing housing of a two-roller roller press, both rollers each having a fixed bearing in a non-angularly movable version and a floating bearing in a non-angularly movable version, and at least one load distribution element being arranged between the machine frame of the two-roller roller press and the housing of each roller bearing , and a roller bearing that has a bearing housing support according to the invention.
  • Two-roller roller presses also referred to as good-bed roller mills, are used for the pressure reduction of medium-hard to brittle materials. They comprise two driven, counter-rotating rollers, between which there is a grinding gap.
  • One of the rollers is designed as a stationary fixed roller and the other roller as a loose roller that is movably mounted transversely to the grinding gap.
  • the loose roller is spring-loaded with a correspondingly high pressure, usually applied by hydraulic cylinders, and pressed against the fixed roller via the feed material located between the rollers.
  • the hydraulic elements on the loose roller side adjust the grinding force and thus the gap between the loose and fixed roller during operation (operating gap).
  • roller bearings are usually used for the roller bearings. From the DE 36 35 885 C2 the use of spherical roller bearings, which have an angular mobility of a few degrees, is known, on the bearing housing of which a thin rubber body is arranged on the fixed roller side to compensate for tolerances. A misalignment in the roller bearing, as it can occur with the loose roller, cannot be compensated for by non-angularly movable bearings due to the design.
  • the elastic bodies e.g. B. rubber cushions
  • the function is to ensure an optimal, ie as homogeneous as possible load distribution on the rolling bearings.
  • the forces acting as pressure elements on the bearings of the loose roller due to the introduction of force from the hydraulic cylinders should be optimally distributed over the bearing housings to the rolling elements.
  • a thick, soft rubber element per bearing is used on the loose roller side and a thin, hard rubber element per bearing on the fixed roller side.
  • this results in stiffening when loaded and thus no good load distribution on the bearing housing on the load side, so that few rolling elements are heavily stressed in the load direction.
  • a distribution of the load that is as homogeneous as possible in terms of amount over as many rolling elements as possible is optimal.
  • the invention is based on the object of overcoming the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art by optimizing the load distribution on the rolling bearings of the fixed and loose rollers or of adjusting the fixed and loose rollers to one another.
  • a load distribution element is arranged on the housing of each non-angularly movable bearing of the two rollers of the roller press, which has at least two separate, elastic individual elements, between which one is not with a solid or liquid medium filled intermediate space, this recess representing an interruption of the load distribution element in the vertical direction.
  • the recess is thus arranged in the area of the greatest acting bearing load.
  • the rolling elements are advantageously relieved of load in the area of the greatest acting bearing load and, compared to the known devices, the load is more evenly distributed over a larger number of rolling elements. This results in an increase in the bearing service life with the same performance or an increase in the contact pressure with the same bearing service life. This ultimately also results in the possibility of installing larger rollers with an increase in the throughput of the roller press.
  • the elastic individual elements of a load distribution element are preferably each acted upon by a precisely fitting, non-elastic pressure transmission element on their surface which is opposite the contact surface on the bearing housing.
  • These pressure transmission elements are preferably made of a steel.
  • the pressure transmission elements are arranged on the fixed roller side on a contact surface (vertical spars as end pieces) of the machine frame of the roller press.
  • the hydraulic cylinders with which the contact forces are applied are located on the roll side between the pressure transmission elements and the machine frame.
  • the load distribution element is designed symmetrically to a horizontal plane.
  • the horizontal plane is particularly preferably identical to the horizontal center plane of the bearing housing.
  • the plane of symmetry corresponds to the horizontal center plane of the recess between the individual elements, and the two individual elements have the same dimensions.
  • the load distribution element is structurally identical for all bearings of the two-roller roller press, i.e. for the fixed and floating bearings, both on the fixed and on the loose roller. It is advantageous that the load on the rolling elements of the bearings of the fixed and loose rollers is almost the same.
  • cylindrical roller bearings are used as non-angularly movable bearings. Typically these are designed in four rows. Cylindrical roller bearings stand out in comparison with angularly movable bearings, e.g. B. spherical roller bearings, mainly characterized by being more robust in operation and significantly cheaper for large bearings.
  • the elastic individual elements of a load distribution element are cuboid and have a rectangular cross section.
  • the elastic individual elements of a load distribution element are made from an elastomer.
  • the elastic individual elements of a load distribution element are made of rubber or polyurethane. It is advantageous that the load distribution elements, which are wearing parts, are thus inexpensive and easy to handle and replace.
  • an elastic individual element of a load distribution element has a closed border that is open to the surface opposite the contact surface on the roller bearing housing or to the contact surface on the roller bearing housing and the surface opposite the said contact surface.
  • the properties of an elastic individual element are thus analogous to those of an incompressible hydraulic fluid.
  • the border can consist of support plates, usually made of a steel. Particularly preferably, the height of the border is greater than the height of the elastic individual element and protrudes in the horizontal direction beyond the surface opposite the contact surface on the bearing housing. Inelastic pressure transmission elements are then arranged precisely in the protruding border of the individual element.
  • the closed border of an elastic individual element is formed by inserting the individual element into a precisely fitting recess or groove arranged on the roller bearing housing, and supporting elements connected to the bearing housing in a force-fit manner on the side surfaces of the individual element that are not covered by the boundary surfaces of the groove to be ordered.
  • the object according to the invention is achieved by a roller bearing that has a support according to the invention for the roller bearing housing in accordance with one of the configurations described above.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a vertical section of an embodiment of a bearing housing support 1 according to the invention of the loose roll of a two-roll roller press, the axis of rotation of the loose roll being perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • the shaft of the loose roller is mounted in cylindrical roller bearings with cylindrical rolling elements (not shown).
  • a load distribution element 3 rests on the bearing housing 2 of a cylindrical roller bearing and has two similar, cuboid elastic individual elements 31a, 31b, for example rubber bodies, the elastic individual element 31a being arranged on the upper half of the bearing housing and the elastic individual element 31b being arranged on the lower half of the bearing housing is.
  • the individual elements 31a, 31b extend in the horizontal direction over the entire width of the bearing housing 2.
  • the load distribution element 3 closes approximately with the upper and lower cover surfaces of the bearing housing 2. Between the individual elements 31a, 31b there is a recess 32 which, like the load distribution element 3, is symmetrical with respect to the horizontal center plane of the bearing housing 2. On the surface 33a, 33b of an individual element 31a, 31b, which is opposite the surface 34a, 34b resting on the bearing housing 2, precisely fitting metallic punches 4a, 4b are arranged as pressure transmission means, the size of the contact surface of the metallic punches 4a, 4b with the Individual elements 31a, 31b corresponds to the size of the surface 33a, 33b. Each individual element 31a, 31b is surrounded by a closed border.
  • Support walls 21a, 21b and the support plates protrude beyond the respective individual element 31a, 31b on the surface 33a, 33b, so that the section of the stamp 4a, 4b facing the surface 33a, 33b also encompasses the border of the individual element 31a, 31b and is supported.
  • the punches 4a, 4b are each connected to intermediate pieces 5a, 5b via an articulated and resilient screw connection.
  • the intermediate pieces 5a, 5b are connected to a hydraulic cylinder 6 for applying the pressing force.
  • Figure 2 shows a detail of a side view of the loose roll side of a two-roll roller press with the bearing housing support 1 according to the invention, as shown in FIG Fig. 1 .
  • the axis of rotation of the roller (not shown) is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • the bearing housing 2 has a load distribution element 3 with two spatially separated, elastic individual elements (hidden here), between which there is a recess 32 which is symmetrical with respect to the horizontal center plane of the bearing housing 2 (indicated by the horizontal dashed line).
  • the closed border of the individual elements (covered here) is formed in the horizontal direction by support walls 21a, 21b (partially covered) cast on the bearing housing 2 and in the vertical direction by support plates 22a, 22b frictionally connected to the support walls.
  • the closed border also supports a section of the stamps 4a, 4b resting on the individual elements.
  • the punches 4a, 4b are connected via an articulated and resilient screw connection with intermediate pieces 5a, 5b, which in turn are connected to a hydraulic cylinder 6 for applying the contact pressure.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 6 is attached to the vertical bars 7 of the machine frame of the two-roll roller press.
  • the bearing housing support 1 according to the invention is structurally identical for the fixed bearing and the floating bearing side of the loose roller.
  • Figure 3 shows a detail of a side view of the fixed roller side of a two-roller roller press with a bearing housing support 1 'according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is the axis of rotation of the roller (not shown) perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • the bearing housing support 1 'on the fixed bearing and loose bearing side of the fixed roller side is structurally identical to the bearing housing support 1 on both bearing sides of the loose roller, as in FIG Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown.
  • the intermediate pieces 5a ', 5b' on the fixed roll side are attached directly to the vertical spars 7 'of the machine frame of the two-roll roller press.
