Abstract:The model of vibrating cone crusher is simplified as the model of locomotory cone motion in horizontal plane. The materials layers between the locomotory cone and immovable cone will affect the motion of locomotory cone. The dynamics equations are built with the materials layers as piecewise line contract force model. Then the dynamics equations are analyzed. The result indicates the materials layers is the main source of the nonlinear system. The materials layers make the system having complex motion instead of harmonic motion with single frequency. These affect fragmentation of the vibrating cone crusher.
