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.

First claim

We claim:

1. A mobile material processing vibrating screen, comprising:
a vibrating screen, of the type having a rear portion having at least four wheels and being configured to be towed on a public roadway by a semi-tractor, and 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 said sheave;
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;
a double row ball bearing;
wherein said drive motor is an electric drive motor system;
an interface which includes an adapter plate;
wherein said adapter plate is coupled to a ring feeder hub and to said first universal joint which is coupled to a drive shaft;
said second universal joint which is coupled to an opposing end of the drive shaft; and
a stub-shaft and said double row ball bearing.

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 said sheave;
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;
a double row ball bearing;
wherein said drive motor is an electric drive motor system;
an interface which includes an adapter plate;
wherein said adapter plate is coupled to a ring feeder hub and to said first universal joint which is coupled to a drive shaft;
said second universal joint which is coupled to an opposing end of the drive shaft; and
a stub-shaft and said double row ball bearing; 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.

3. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 2 further comprising a flanged yoke which bolts to a face of the sheave.

4. The mobile material processing vibrating screen of claim 3 further comprising a first c-clip groove and a second c-clip groove.

5. A method of processing material with a vibrating screen at multiple locations comprising the steps of:
providing, at a first location, a vibrating screen, of the type having a rear portion having at least four wheels and being configured to be towed on a public roadway by a semi-tractor, and 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 said 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 said 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.
