Abstract
A system and method for absorbing shock and reducing wear on a V seat of a cone crusher, where a plurality of sheets of brass, each having slots therein extending into the sheet from opposing sides, are bolted to a top portion of the V seat and made to conform so as to extend over an exterior portion of the V seat, a top portion of the V seat and an inside portion of the V seat, when the top of the cone crusher bends the sheets as the top of the cone crusher is moved closer to the V seat.
Claims20
A cone crusher comprising;
- a base with a top seat;
- a bowl with a mating seat which is made to nest with the top seat;
- and
- a wear member of a different metal than used for one of the top seat and the mating seat, where the wear member extends from an external portion of the top seat, over top of the top seat, and then down inside the cone crusher.
The cone crusher of clam 1 wherein said wear member is coupled to the top seat by a plurality of bolts.
A cone crusher wear member comprising:
- a sheet of brass alloy;
- said sheet of brass alloy being configured to be long enough to extend on an exterior side of a V seat of a cone crusher and on an interior side of the V seat;
- and
- said sheet of brass alloy is configured with an open hole therethrough configured to be large enough to receive a bolt therein and is further configured to be in registration with a hole in a top portion of the V seat which is configured to receive therein the bolt.
A method of absorbing shock between a cone crusher top and a cone crusher base V seat comprising the steps of:
- providing a sheet of material which is a dissimilar material from both a cone crusher top and a V seat:
- bolting said sheet of material to one of said V seat and said cone crusher top;
- and
- causing said sheet of material to conform to a shape of the V seat when a gap between said V seat and said cone crusher top is reduced.
