Self-propelled crushing machine

A self-propelled crushing machine comprising:

• a mobile chassis suspended on a traveling device for self-propelled traveling;
• an operator's platform defined on said mobile chassis for operator's operation of the crushing machine;
• a motor powered crusher mounted on said mobile chassis for operation under control of the operator for object of crush charged thereinto;
• a hopper mounted on said mobile chassis and coupled with said crusher for charging the object to be crushed;
• a driving power source mounted on said mobile chassis and being coupled with said hopper and said crusher for providing the driving power thereto;
• said hopper, said crusher and said driving power unit being arranged substantially in alignment and in that order along a longitudinal axis of said mobile chassis;
• said operator's platform being arranged at a position laterally shifted from the line along which said hopper, said crusher and said driving power unit are aligned;
• and
• wherein said traveling device comprises a pair of left and right driving mechanisms provided substantially along left and right sides of said mobile chassis in mutually spaced apart relationship with a clearance, and which further comprises a discharge conveyer mounted to said mobile chassis below said hopper and within said clearance for discharging the crushed object discharged from said crusher, said hopper and said discharge conveyer being so arranged relative to each other that none of the operator's platform, crusher and driving power unit intervenes therebetween so as to minimize overall height of the crushing machine.

A self-propelled crushing machine comprising:

• a chassis having an elongated platform defined by two opposite ends at its longitudinal extremes, and two lateral sides;
• a pair of traveling devices attached to said chassis;
• a hopper having a particular height and mounted directly to one end of said opposite ends of said platform so as to project above said platform by substantially only said hopper height;
• a driving power unit mounted on said platform at the other end of said opposite ends;
• a crusher and an operator's station mounted on said platform intermediate said hopper and said driving power unit;
• and
• a discharge conveyer mounted below said platform and disposed between said traveling devices at said one end of the platform;
• said discharge conveyer and said hopper being arranged relative to each other without intervention of any of said crusher, said driving power unit or said operator's station so as to minimize overall height of the crushing machine.
