ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mobile crushing apparatus provided with a crusher for rocks or the like, a supply conveyor for a material to be crushed and a power source for the crusher and the supply conveyor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the conventional art, there has been frequently employed a mobile crushing apparatus for crushing rocks or the like and manufacturing a concrete aggregate or the like, and in recent years, in order to manufacture the aggregate near a rock mining field or the like, there has been seen a mobile crushing apparatus freely traveling between the working fields. As a first embodiment of the prior arts, there is a structure disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2809598. 
FIG. 27
 is a side elevational view of a mobile crushing apparatus 
50
 disclosed in the publication mentioned above, and 
FIG. 28
 is a plan view of the same. In 
FIGS. 27 and 28
, a frame 
51
 is attached on a crawler type traveling apparatus 
3
, and a cone type crusher 
10
 is mounted in a substantially center portion of the frame 
51
. A supply conveyor 
41
a 
for supplying a material to be crushed to the crusher 
10
 is arranged in a right side of the frame 
51
 with respect to a vehicle in such a manner as to be substantially parallel to a longitudinal direction. A vibrating screen 
40
 for separating a product and supplying the material to the crusher 
10
 is arranged in a front side in the longitudinal direction of the frame 
51
. A product conveyor 
42
 for discharging the separated product to an external portion is provided below the vibrating screen 
40
 so as to be directed forward and upward, and a discharge conveyor 
43
a 
for discharging the crushed material is provided below the crusher 
10
 so as to be directed rearward and upward. Although no specific description is given in the publication mentioned above, a power source 
30
a 
such as an engine for generating power for the traveling apparatus 
3
, the crusher 
10
, the vibrating screen 
40
, the supply conveyor 
41
a 
and the like is mounted on a rear portion of the frame 
51
.
The cone type crusher 
10
 is structured such as to crush in accordance with a rotary power output from an input shaft 
16
. In 
FIG. 28
, the input shaft 
16
 is provided so as to be directed to an opposite side to the vibrating screen 
40
 in the longitudinal direction of the frame 
51
, that is, rearward, and an electric motor 
52
 arranged in the vehicle side portion opposite to the supply conveyor 
41
a 
and a belt pulley (not shown) of the input shaft 
16
 are connected by a V belt 
23
. A hydraulic unit 
53
 (a hydraulic pump) for driving the conveyor or the like and a power generator 
54
 driven by the engine are arranged at the rear of the crusher 
10
. A hydraulic apparatus 
55
 for driving the traveling apparatus 
3
 is mounted on a rear portion of the electric motor 
52
, the electric motor 
52
 and the hydraulic apparatus 
55
 constitute a drive source, and the hydraulic unit 
53
 and the power generator 
54
 constitute a power source 
30
a. 
FIG. 30
 is a plan view of a mobile crushing apparatus 
60
 in accordance with a second embodiment of the prior art. The crusher 
10
 is mounted on a substantially center portion of a frame 
61
, and the vibrating screen 
40
 is provided in a front portion in a longitudinal direction of the frame 
61
. A supply conveyor 
41
b 
is arranged in the frame 
61
 disposed in a left side of the crusher 
10
 and the vibrating screen 
40
 so as to be along the longitudinal direction. The input shaft 
16
 of the crusher 
10
 is arranged in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal direction and toward the side of the supply conveyor 
41
b
. The electric motor 
52
 for driving the crusher is arranged at the rear of the crusher 
10
, and both of the elements are connected by a belt pulley (not shown) of the input shaft 
16
 and a V belt 
23
.
However, the prior arts mentioned above have the following problems.
(1) In the first embodiment, since the input shaft 
16
 of the crusher 
10
 is arranged so as to be directed in the longitudinal direction as mentioned above, it is necessary to provide a gap T (a working space) longer than the input shaft 
16
 between the crusher 
10
 and the hydraulic unit 
53
 and the power generator 
54
 in order to easily perform a drawing operation at a time of dissembling and assembling the input shaft 
16
, as shown in FIG. 
29
. Accordingly, since the length in the longitudinal direction is increased and a whole size of the mobile crushing apparatus is increased, a weight thereof is increased and a cost therefor is increased.
(2) In the first embodiment, since the electric motor 
52
, the hydraulic unit 
53
, the power generator 
54
 and the hydraulic apparatus 
55
 are respectively arranged on the frame 
51
 in an independent manner, as shown in 
FIG. 28
, a lot of time is required for an assembling operation and a wide space for mounting is required, so that a size of the apparatus is increased and a cost therefor is increased.
(3) In the second embodiment, since the input shaft 
16
 of the crusher 
10
 is arranged so as to be directed to the side of the supply conveyor 
41
, as shown in 
FIG. 30
, earth and sand dropped down from the supply conveyor 
41
 fall on the drive portion such as the V belt 
23
, the electric motor 
52
 and the like, thereby causing an early abrasion of the V belt 
23
 and a trouble of the drive portion. Further, since the input shaft 
16
 is positioned below the supply conveyor 
41
b
, it is hard to use a crane for assisting the work at a time of dissembling and assembling the input shaft 
16
, so that it is hard to perform the dissembling and assembling work.
Further, as a third embodiment of the prior art, there is a structure disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-138059. 
FIG. 31
 is a side elevational view showing a working attitude of a mobile crushing apparatus 
90
 disclosed in the publication mentioned above. In 
FIG. 31
, the crusher 
10
 for crushing the rocks or the like is mounted on a substantially center portion in a longitudinal direction of a frame 
95
 provided with the traveling apparatus 
3
. The vibrating screen 
40
 for classifying a grain size of the product is mounted in a front portion in the longitudinal direction of the frame 
95
 via a vertically moving apparatus 
91
 in such a manner as to freely move vertically. Further, a supply conveyor 
41
c 
for transferring the material to be crushed to the vibrating screen 
40
 is arranged in a left side portion of the frame 
95
 so as to be inclined upward in the side of the vibrating screen 
40
. The supply conveyor 
41
c 
is attached so as to be freely swung around the a supporting point 
92
 in the longitudinal direction by a swinging link apparatus 
93
. Further, a product conveyor 
42
 for discharging the product forward and upward is provided below the vibrating screen 
40
. Outriggers 
94
 and 
94
 are provided in right and left of a front end portion of the frame 
95
, and are structured such as to be grounded at a time of crushing work.
FIG. 32
 is a side elevational view showing a traveling attitude of the mobile crushing apparatus 
90
. At a time of traveling, as shown in 
FIG. 32
, the ground of the right and left outriggers 
94
 and 
94
 is canceled, and the vibrating screen 
40
 and the product conveyor 
42
 are descended by the vertically moving apparatus 
91
. Further, the supply conveyor 
41
c 
is vertically swung around the supporting point 
92
 by the swinging link apparatus 
93
 so as to be in a substantially horizontal attitude, whereby a height of a whole of the apparatus is reduced so as to make the apparatus easily pass through a tunnel or the like.
Further, in the mobile crushing apparatus 
50
 in accordance with the first embodiment, as shown in 
FIG. 27
, the crusher 
10
 is mounted on the substantially center portion in the longitudinal direction of the frame 
51
 provided with the traveling apparatus 
3
, and the vibrating screen 
40
 is mounted in the front portion in the longitudinal direction
