Abstract

A screen drive for a mobile material processing screen which can be at a travel width without having to fold or disable the screen drive. The screen drive system includes a drive motor, which is tucked at least partially under the vibrating screen; a sheave, having a double row ball bearing being supported by a shaft; a belt, coupling sheave and drive motor; a drive shaft coupled to a first universal joint, and a second universal joint, which is coupled to an opposing end of the drive shaft and to sheave.

Claims

1. A mobile material processing vibrating screen, comprising:

a variably inclinable vibrating screen 110 with a predetermined travel width dimension;

a screen drive system 120 operatively coupled to said variably inclinable vibrating screen 110, said screen drive system configured with;

an electric drive motor system 240, which is tucked at least partially under the variably inclinable vibrating screen 110;

a sheave 220, having a double row ball bearing 504 being supported by a stub shaft 603;

a belt 230, coupling sheave 220 and electric drive motor system 240;

a drive shaft 430 coupled to a first universal joint 420;

a second universal joint 500, which is coupled to an opposing end of the drive shaft 430 and to sheave 220; and

said screen drive system 120 further being configured to drive the variably inclinable vibrating screen 110 without being folded and without being disabled to attain said predetermined travel width dimension.

2. A mobile material processing vibrating screen, comprising:

a vibrating screen with a predetermined travel width dimension;

a screen drive system operatively coupled to said vibrating screen, said screen drive system configured with;

a drive motor, which is tucked at least partially under the vibrating screen;

a sheave, having a bearing being supported by a shaft;

a belt, coupling the sheave and the drive motor;

a drive shaft coupled to a first universal joint;

a second universal joint, which is coupled to an opposing end of the drive shaft and to sheave; and

said screen drive system further being configured to drive the vibrating screen without being folded and without being disabled to attain said predetermined travel width dimension.

3. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 2 further comprising a double row ball bearing.

4. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 3 wherein said drive motor is an electric drive motor system.

5. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 4 further comprising an interface which includes an adapter plate.

6. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 5 wherein said adapter plate is coupled to a ring feeder hub and to a first universal joint which is coupled to a drive shaft.

7. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 6 further comprising a second universal joint which is coupled to an opposing end of the drive shaft.

8. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 7 further comprising a stub-shaft and a double row ball bearing.

9. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 8 further comprising a first C-Clip which retains an interior diameter (I.D.) of bearing and second C-Clip which retains an outside diameter (O.D.) of the double row ball bearing.

10. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 9 further comprising a flanged yoke which bolts to a face of the sheave.

11. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 10 further comprising a first c-clip groove and a second c-clip groove.

12. A method of processing material with a vibrating screen at multiple locations comprising the steps of:

providing a vibrating screen at a first location which comprise a screen drive system with;

a drive motor, which is tucked at least partially under the vibrating screen;

a sheave, having a double row ball bearing being supported by a shaft;

a belt, coupling sheave and drive motor;

a drive shaft coupled to a first universal joint;

a second universal joint, which is coupled to an opposing end of the drive shaft and to sheave; and

operating said vibrating screen at said first location;

transporting said vibrating screen to a second location without folding said screen drive system and without disabling said screen drive system; and

operating said vibrating screen at said second location.
