Wear Law and Parameter Optimization Study on the Split Cone of a Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher

During the sand-making process, the wear of the split cone will affect the dynamic balance of the rotor and the sand-making effect of the crusher. This paper focuses on experiments and simulations with the rotor of a vertical shaft impact crusher. A wear model for predicting the wear value of the split cone is established and its effectiveness is verified. The orthogonal test of L16(44) is designed. By using the range analysis method, the influence of the rotor speed, the feed height, the installation angle, and the number of the guide plate on the wear resistance of the split cone are studied. By using the multiple linear regression analysis method, the optimal parameter combination of each factor is obtained. The results of this paper show that the wear resistance of the split cone is the best when the installation angle of the guide plate is 40°, the installation number of the guide plate is 3, the rotor speed is 2800 r/min, and the feed height is 40 mm. © 2021 Jie Yang et al.
