Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a roller mill that is provided with: a rotary table; a raw coal adding tube that supplies solid fuel to the rotary table; and a roller that rotates about a rotating shaft by being pressed against a grinding surface of the rotary table and grinds solid fuel along with rotation of the rotary table. In such a roller mill, a position where an outer peripheral surface of the roller and the grinding surface of the rotary table come into contact with each other and a circumferential velocity of the outer peripheral surface equals a circumferential velocity of the grinding surface is located further to an inner circumferential side of the rotary table than a position where the outer peripheral surface and the grinding surface come into contact with each other at a center position in a width direction of the roller.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A roller mill comprising: a rotary table that rotates about a drive shaft by a driving force from a drive unit; a fuel supply unit that supplies solid fuel to the rotary table; and a roller that rotates about a rotating shaft by being pressed against a grinding surface of the rotary table and grinds the solid fuel along with rotation of the rotary table; a first position where an outer peripheral surface of the roller and the grinding surface of the rotary table come into contact with each other and a circumferential velocity of the outer peripheral surface equals a circumferential velocity of the grinding surface being located further to an inner circumferential side of the rotary table than a second position where the outer peripheral surface and the grinding surface come into contact with each other at a center position in a width direction of the roller; a radius of curvature of the outer peripheral surface of the roller being constant; a first radius of curvature of the grinding surface at a third position corresponding to a first end surface of the roller on the inner circumferential side of the rotary table being less than a second radius of curvature of the grinding surface at a fourth position corresponding to a second end surface of the roller on an outer circumferential side of the rotary table; and a distance in the rotating shaft direction from the first position to the third position being within 0.3 or 0.15 times a width of the roller. 2. A roller mill according to claim 1 , further comprising: a dam ring provided on an end portion on the outer circumferential side of the rotary table, the dam ring suppressing discharge of the ground solid fuel to the outside of the rotary table and having a tapered surface that is inclined so as to decrease in height from the outer side toward the inner circumferential side of the rotary table. 3. A roller mill according to claim 1 , further comprising: an adjustment mechanism that allows a distance of the roller to the drive shaft of the rotary table to be adjusted. 4. A method for manufacturing a roller mill including a rotary table that rotates about a drive shaft by a driving force from a drive unit; a fuel supply unit that supplies solid fuel to the rotary table; and a roller that rotates about a rotating shaft by being pressed against a grinding surface of the rotary table, grinds the solid fuel along with rotation of the rotary table, and has an outer peripheral surface with a constant radius of curvature; the method comprising: a rotary table installing step of installing the rotary table; a roller installing step of installing the roller so that a first position where the outer peripheral surface of the roller and the grinding surface of the rotary table come into contact with each other and a circumferential velocity of the outer peripheral surface equals a circumferential velocity of the grinding surface is located further to an inner circumferential side of the rotary table than a second position where the outer peripheral surface and the grinding surface come into contact with each other at a center position in a width direction of the roller; and a rotary table forming step of forming the rotary table so that a first radius of curvature of the grinding surface at a third position corresponding to a first end surface of the roller on the inner circumferential side of the rotary table is less than a second radius of curvature of the grinding surface at a fourth position corresponding to a second end surface of the roller on an outer circumferential side of the rotary table, and a distance in the rotating shaft direction from the first position to the third position is within 0.3 or 0.15 times a width of the roller.
