The jaw crusher is mainly composed of a frame, a movable jaw assembly, a movable jaw, a fixed jaw, a triangular wheel, a flywheel, a bracket, a side guard, a discharge port adjusting device and a driving device. Because of its simple structure, easy manufacture, reliable operation and convenient maintenance, it has been widely used in crushing operations in metallurgy, chemical industry and mining industries.
The material is crushed between the two jaws, so the wear of the liner is the main problem of the jaw crusher. And the types of wear and tear are mainly divided into the following cases.
Bruise wear
In the jaw crusher, the ore is crushed and reduced to the required particle size. When the moving plate moves away from the fixed plate, the ore is sliding down freely from the upper portion of the crushing chamber to the discharge port under the action of gravity. During this process, the ore slides down along the surface of the jaw plate and causes sliding friction which makes the jaw plate be worn. Therefore, the abrasive wear is an important wear type caused by the squeezed ore.
Chiseling wear
When the ore is squeezed and ground under the huge mechanical force of the jaw plate, it is easy to form hard sharp edges and corners, and continual interaction between ore and the jaw plate makes the surface of the jaw plate appear very deep scratches, dense grooves and large-area deep pits. As a result, under the strong chiseling action, the jaw plate develops plastic deformation, metal rheology, brittle fracture and spalling, causing the material of jaw plate continuously to migrate and lose, and gradually become thinner. Therefore, chiseling wear is the main form of wear.
Fatigue wear
Jaw crusher has a large crushing force and fast running speed. Under the action of the huge impact and crushing stress, it withstands long-term and periodic contact fatigue load and is prone to fatigue crack. Therefore, fatigue spalling is also one of the causes of wear.
Corrosion wear
In order to protect the environment and improve working conditions, a water spray facility is installed on the site of the jaw crusher for dust suppression. At the same time, the water directly contacts the raft which accelerates the oxidation and corrosion of the raft and causes corrosion and wear of the raft.
The wear of the jaw plate presents complexity and diversity and is affected by factors such as materials, abrasives, environmental media, and relative motion. The value of the moving motion is usually reduced to solve the wear problems. In recent years, with the rapid development of computer technology, software simulation is used to comprehensively consider various factors that cause wear, and dynamically imitate of the crushing movement of the jaw plate, so as to more comprehensively analyze the wear rules of the jaw plate and finally reduce its wear rate.
In addition to the wear problem of the jaw plate, there are many other problems caused by parts and components can not be ignored. Next, we will introduce the failure analysis and troubleshooting of the jaw crusher.
The main engine suddenly stopped
Cause analysis:
1The discharge port is blocked, causing full cavity blocking.
2The V-belt that drives the sheave to rotate is too loose, causing the belt to slip.
3The eccentric shaft tightening bushing is loose, causing no gap on both sides of the bearing housing of the frame, so that the eccentric shaft is stuck and cannot be rotated.
4the work site voltage is too low, and the main engine is unable to crush large material.
5Bearing damage.
Solutions:
1Clear the blockage at the discharge opening to ensure unimpeded discharge.

The output does not meet the factory standards
Cause analysis:
1The hardness or toughness of the material to be crushed exceeds the range specified in the instruction manual.
2The motor wiring position is reversed, and the movable jaw rotates clockwise, or the motor should have been connected in a delta connection but a star connection.
3The discharge size is smaller than the specified limit.
4The jaw plate is displaced, and the top of the tooth is opposite to the top of the tooth.
5The voltage at the work site is too low.
6The clearance between the movable jaw and the bearing is too large because of the abrasion, so that the outer ring of the bearing rotates relative motion.
Solutions:
1Replace or increase the crusher.
2Change the motor wiring.
3The discharge opening is adjusted to the nominal discharge opening specified in the manual and the crusher used for fine crushing is added.
4Check the tooth gap size of the tooth plate. If it does not meet the standard, the jaw plate must be replaced, and the relative position of the fixed jaw plate and the movable jaw plate should be adjusted to ensure that the tooth top is fixedly pressed against the tooth root to prevent displacement.
5Increase the voltage of the work site to adapt it to the heavy load requirements of the host.
6Replace the bearing or movable jaw plate.
There is a beating or percussion when the movable and the fixed jaw plate work.
Cause analysis:
1The fastening bolts of the jaw plate are loose or dropped.
2The discharge opening is too small, and the bottoms of the two jaw plates collide with each other.
Solutions:
1Tighten or matching bolts.
2Adjust the discharge opening to ensure the correct clearance between the two jaws.
The fracture of the bracket
Cause analysis:
1The main engine is overloaded or the material is larger than the feeding size.
2Non-crushed materials are entering the crushing chamber.
3The bracket is not parallel with bracket pad.
4Casting parts have serious defects.
Solutions:
1Replace the bracket and control the feed size to prevent the main engine from being overloaded.
