Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a granulation device and method, in particular to a method and system for enhancing granulation based on propeller blade disturbance, belonging to the field of sintering granulation. Background Art

[0002] In the steel industry, sintering machines are used to sinter concentrate powder, rich ore powder and secondary iron-containing raw materials of different compositions and particle sizes into blocks, and partially eliminate harmful impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus contained in the ore in preparation for use in blast furnace ironmaking.

[0003] Since concentrate powder, rich ore powder and secondary iron-containing raw materials are all fine-particle powders, they cannot be sintered directly. They need to be processed into granular materials with a certain volume before they can be put into the sintering machine for sintering. Therefore, granulation is an important part of the sintering process.

[0004] The existing technology of sintering raw material granulation mainly adopts the cylindrical granulator, which is a hollow cylindrical body arranged at a certain angle and continuously rotating around the center line of the barrel. The material of the cylindrical granulator enters from the higher end. As the barrel rotates, the material rolls from the higher end to the lower end with the help of gravity and is discharged from the lower end. The principle of cylindrical granulation is as follows Figure 8 a. Figure 8 As shown in b, the barrel of the granulator will lift the material in the barrel during the rotation process. When the material is lifted to a certain height, that is, when the lifting angle is greater than the angle of repose of the material, the pile will collapse, causing the material to slide relatively along its surface, and complete the particle growth during the sliding process to achieve granulation. The cylindrical granulator is a passive granulation device. The granulation motion obtained by the material is weak, and the core material cannot obtain regular relative sliding, which does not meet the granulation conditions. Therefore, the granulation effect is poor, and the critical conditions for material granulation are high, such as high moisture content requirements and high adhesive ratio requirements, which make the proportion of non-ferrous components in the raw materials high. It is difficult to meet the requirements of modern technological progress and has formed a technical bottleneck. In addition, CN201911401704 discloses a multi-disc excitation perturbation method forced granulator, which is provided with a disk perpendicular to the axis of the rotating disk cluster and a plurality of excitation disks distributed along the axis, which improves the existing granulation process. However, the direction of the force exerted by the excitation disk on the material is relatively single, resulting in a low contact frequency between the materials and an insufficient granulation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address existing issues such as poor granulation performance with cylindrical granulators, high critical conditions for granulation, and low granulation efficiency with existing disturbance granulators, the present invention proposes a method and system for enhancing granulation using propeller blade disturbance.

During the granulation process, these blades impart forces in different directions to the material, causing it to roll in three dimensions and enhancing the granulation effect. Furthermore, the propeller blades at the lower portion of the granulator shaft have a larger radius, enabling them to simultaneously contact more material and improve granulation efficiency.

[0021] 2) The material is transported into the granulation barrel, and the granulation barrel drive system is started to drive the granulation barrel to rotate along its own axis.

When the change in the value of α0 needs to be adjusted by △α, the change in the angle α between the upper surface of all granulating blades and the horizontal plane needs to be adjusted by △α;

Then α0=(α1+α1+α3+···+α n When the change value of α0 needs to be adjusted to △α, the change value of the angle α between the upper surface of all granulating blades and the horizontal plane needs to be adjusted to △α.

[0033] Preferably, step 3) is specifically as follows: setting the average particle size range of the granulated material required for actual production to [d min , d max The average particle size of the granulated material discharged by the discharge mechanism is detected and recorded as d0, mm.

Z0 is the initial speed of the paddle shaft, and Z1 is the adjusted speed. The d0 value is monitored in real time, and the paddle shaft speed is adjusted to control the particle size of the granulated material to meet production requirements.

[0047] In the present invention, the radius of the propeller blade is less than R / 2, where R is the diameter of the drum mixer.

[0048] In the prior art, since the cylindrical granulator is set at an angle, the granulation process relies on the rolling of the cylinder to drive the rolling of the material and then lift the material. When the material is lifted to a certain height, its lifting angle is greater than the angle of repose of the material, causing the material pile to collapse, and the material to slide relatively along the surface. During the sliding process, the particles grow and granulation is achieved. In this process, the granulation effect on the material is weak. Moreover, since the material has a certain accumulation volume in the cylinder, the core material cannot obtain regular relative sliding during the above-mentioned sliding granulation process, and the granulation conditions are not met, so the granulation effect is poor. This is mainly manifested in the high requirements for the critical conditions for material granulation; such as high moisture content requirements and high adhesive ratio requirements, which leads to a high proportion of non-ferrous components in the raw materials, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern technological progress. In addition, CN201911401704 discloses a multi-disc excitation disturbance method forced granulator, which is equipped with multiple excitation disks perpendicular to the axis of the rotating disk cluster and distributed along the axis. Although the process purpose of active granulation is achieved, the direction of the force exerted by the excitation disk on the material is relatively single, resulting in a low contact frequency between the materials and insufficient granulation efficiency.

[0049] In the present invention, propeller blades are installed in the pelletizer, subjecting the material to continuous, directional forces during the pelletizing process, causing the material to roll in three dimensions and enhancing the pelletizing effect. Furthermore, the lower radius of the propeller blades is larger than the upper radius, allowing the lower propeller blades to act on more material during operation, resulting in higher pelletizing efficiency.

[0050] In the present invention, material enters the granulation barrel through the feed port at the top of the bracket and falls to the bottom of the barrel. The granulation paddle drive system and the granulation barrel drive system are activated, driving the granulation barrel and the granulation paddle shaft to rotate about their own axes. The granulation paddle shaft drives the propeller blades to rotate. The propeller blades have a spiral structure, which ensures that the material is continuously and continuously subjected to forward and upward forces during the granulation process, causing the material to move forward and upward rapidly and roll. During this movement, the material continuously absorbs surrounding fine particles, gradually increasing in size. When the particle size of the material meets production requirements, it is discharged from the bottom of the barrel.

[0051] In the present invention, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, during the granulation process, the material is simultaneously subjected to forces from different directions from the propeller blades, causing the material to generate different velocities. Under the influence of these velocities, the material rolls along the propeller surface. The coarser material particles act as cores and continuously adhere to the surrounding fine particles during the rolling process, growing rapidly. At the same time, the propeller blades continuously apply external forces in different directions to the growing material particles, making it easier for the material to agglomerate into granules, reducing the critical conditions for material agglomeration, increasing the compactness of the granules, and improving the granulation quality.

[0052] In the present invention, Figure 5、 Figure 6 As shown, the force on the material at any point on the propeller blade at any time mainly includes the supporting force F N The force is composed of three parts: the force (upward perpendicular to the support surface), the friction force f (opposite to the relative motion direction of the particles), and the gravity G (vertically downward). Assuming that the blade diameter direction of the propeller is the x-axis, the tangent direction is the y-axis, and the axis direction is the z-axis, the force analysis is carried out and the result is:

[0053] Support force F N : Component F along the y-axis Ny , the component F along the z-axis Nz ;

[0054] Friction force f: component f along the x-axis x , provides the centripetal force for the particle's circular motion, and the component f along the y-axis y , the component f along the z-axis z ;

[0055] Combined, get

[0056]

[0057] Where α is F N The angle between f and the positive direction of the z-axis, β is the angle between the projection of f on the xoy plane and the positive direction of the x-axis.

[0058] Assume that the particle is spherical with radius d, F 向 is the initial centripetal force of the particle in circular motion, r is the radius of the circle, and w is the angular velocity of the blade. The resultant force in each direction is:

[0059] x direction: F 合x =f x =fcosβ,F 向 =mω 2 r

[0060] y direction: F Ny =f y , F N sinα=fsinβ

[0061] z direction: F 合z =GF Nz -f z =mg-F N cosα-fsinα

[0062] Combined, get

[0063]

[0064] Combined with the force analysis results, the motion state of the particles at any point on the propeller blade is analyzed and it is found that due to f x It is not enough to provide the centripetal force required for the particles to keep moving in a circular motion along the propeller blades. The particles will gradually deviate from the center of the circle under the action of inertia, produce centrifugal motion, and finally be thrown out from the edge of the blade along the tangential direction. Its motion trajectory is roughly as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0065] In the present invention, the movement process of the particles is mainly manifested as: circular motion in the xoy plane, accelerated motion along the negative direction of the z axis, and the overall motion trajectory is a spiral line with a gradually increasing radius along the negative direction of the z axis.

[0066] xoy plane: θ = ωt + θ0.

[0067] Radius of circle: r = f(a1, t).

[0068] Z-axis direction: z=z0-h(a2,t).

[0069] Where θ0 is the initial rotation angle of the propeller blade, ω is the angular velocity of the propeller blade, r is the radius of the circular motion of the particle, a1 is the tangential acceleration of the circular motion of the particle, z0 is the initial coordinate of the particle along the Z axis, a2 is the acceleration of the particle along the negative direction of the Z axis, and h(a2,t) is the displacement of the particle along the negative direction of the Z axis.

[0070] In the present invention, the radius of the propeller blades gradually increases from top to bottom, with the lower blades having a larger radius. This allows for the simultaneous entrainment of more material particles, increasing the contact rate between materials. Because the friction between the propeller blades and the material during movement is insufficient to provide the centripetal force for movement, the material gradually escapes from the propeller blades. Therefore, the radius of the upper portion of the propeller blades is reduced. Furthermore, as the height of the propeller increases, the radius of the propeller blades gradually decreases, allowing the material to escape from the propeller blades sooner after acquiring sufficient kinetic energy, allowing it to move more freely within the granulation barrel, increasing the probability of collision between materials and improving granulation efficiency.

[0071] In the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the helix angle of the propeller blade gradually increases from bottom to top. When the material is at the bottom of the granulation barrel, it is subjected to a greater upward lifting force from the propeller blade, and rises faster. When the material is in the upper middle part of the granulation barrel, it is subjected to a greater horizontal force from the propeller blade, which increases the speed of the material's horizontal movement. That is, the present invention gradually increases the helix angle of the propeller blade (i.e., the angle between the blade surface and the horizontal plane) from bottom to top according to the movement state of the material at different stages in the granulation barrel, conforming to the movement law of the material and improving the granulation efficiency.

[0072] In the present invention, Figure 4As shown in the figure, the interaction between the propeller blades and the pelletizing drum creates three zones of material movement in the horizontal plane: the pelletizing excitation zone, the turbulent flow zone, and the material conveying zone, from the inside out. In the material conveying zone, the rotation of the pelletizing drum drives the material particles toward the center of the drum, where they are transported to the turbulent flow zone and the pelletizing excitation zone. In the pelletizing excitation zone, the propeller blades impart a forward force to the material, causing the particles to move forward while simultaneously spinning horizontally. Particles from the material conveying zone and pelletizing excitation zone ultimately converge in the turbulent flow zone. Because the material movement in these zones is in opposite directions and the material rolls under the action of the propeller blades, the material contacts more frequently in the turbulent flow zone. As coarser particles roll in the horizontal plane, they continuously adhere to finer particles, forming larger particles.

[0073] In the present invention, when 0°<α0≤45°, the lifting force to which the material is subjected during the production process is relatively large. When α0 gradually decreases, the lifting force and horizontal force to which the material is subjected are gradually reduced, resulting in a decrease in the movement height and speed of the material in the granulation barrel, a shortened granulation time, and a reduced granulation efficiency, thereby reducing the particle size of the granulated material. When 45°<α0<90°, the horizontal force to which the material is subjected during the production process is relatively large. When α0 gradually increases, the lifting force decreases and the horizontal force increases, resulting in a decrease in the movement height of the material in the granulation barrel, a shortened granulation time, thereby reducing the particle size of the granulated material. According to production experience, it is concluded that when Z0 remains unchanged and α0 changes between 40°-55°, the horizontal force and lifting force to which the material is subjected in the granulation barrel are relatively balanced (the change amplitude is relatively small, reaching a peak), the lifting height and movement speed are both in a relatively ideal state, and the particle size of the granulated material obtained at this time is the largest.

[0074] Through experiments, it was found that when the rotation speed of the granulating blade shaft is constant (for example, 150r / min-300r / min), the average particle size d0 of the granulated material required for actual production and the average angle α0 between the upper surface of the granulating blade and the horizontal plane have the following rules:

[0075] When 0°<α0≤8° or 80°≤α0<90°, the average particle size d0 of the granulated material required for actual production is ≤1mm.

[0076] When 8°<α0≤18° or 70°≤α0<80°, the average particle size of the granulated material required for actual production is 1mm<d0≤3mm.

[0077] When 18°<α0≤36° or 60°≤α0<70°, the average particle size of the granulated material required for actual production is 3mm<d0≤5mm.

[0078] When 36°<α0≤45° or 55°≤α0<60°, the average particle size of the granulated material required for actual production is 5mm<d0≤8mm.

[0079] At that time, when 45°<α0<55°, the average particle size of the granulated material required for actual production is 8mm<d0.

[0080] In the present invention, once α0 is determined, within the range of 150 r / min-300 r / min, the faster the rotation speed of the granulating paddle shaft, the greater the force exerted on the material in the granulating barrel, the faster the movement speed of the material, the higher the contact frequency, and the larger the particle size of the granulated material obtained. The slower the rotation speed, the smaller the force exerted on the material in the granulating barrel, the slower the movement speed of the material, the lower the contact frequency, and the smaller the particle size of the granulated material obtained.

[0081] In the present invention, a coarse adjustment and fine adjustment method is used to control the particle size of the granulated material. Based on production experience, the average initial angle between the upper surface of the propeller blade and the horizontal plane is adjusted to α0,°, and the initial rotational speed of the granulating paddle shaft is adjusted to Z0, r / min (50r / min≤Z0≤100r / min). The particle size of the granulated material obtained under the above production conditions is compared with the particle size of the granulated material required for production. The theoretical granulating paddle shaft rotational speed Z1 under the current α0 condition is calculated according to the formula, and the rotational speed of the granulating paddle shaft is adjusted to Z1. To adjust the initial angle between the upper surface of the propeller blade and the horizontal plane, it is generally sufficient to directly replace the granulating paddle shaft with a propeller blade having a different inclined surface.

[0082] In this invention, a discharge device and a load cell are installed at the discharge port. The load cell carries the weight of the metering disturbance enhanced granulation system, providing real-time information on the amount of material in the barrel, providing basic data for controlling the material filling rate. The discharge device controls the granulator's discharge speed, while a push rod can freely control the opening of the discharge disc, thereby jointly controlling the filling rate in the granulation barrel with the load cell to ensure the granulation effect. A motor rotates the discharge disc to prevent blockage at the granulation outlet, which would otherwise hinder discharge.

[0083] In the present invention, swivel supports are installed on both sides of the bottom of the granulation barrel. Each swivel support is mounted on a track of a fixed support and can move along the track. Furthermore, the height of each swivel support can be freely adjusted to change the inclination angle of the granulation barrel. As a preferred embodiment, the swivel supports are adjusted to tilt the granulation barrel toward the granulation unit. This allows the material to accumulate at the bottom of the granulation unit, facilitating contact between the propeller blades and the material, thereby improving granulation efficiency.

[0084] In the present invention, a barrel wall scraper is provided in the granulating barrel body, which is fixed on a bracket and extends into the granulating barrel body. When the granulating barrel body is running, the barrel wall scraper scrapes off the materials splashed on the barrel wall of the granulating barrel body for granulation again.

[0085] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0086] 1. The present invention adopts a spiral propeller blade. During the granulation process, the material is simultaneously acted upon by the force from the propeller blade, so that the material generates component velocities in different directions. Under the action of the component velocities in different directions, the material rolls along the surface of the propeller blade, thereby reducing the critical condition for the material to agglomerate into granules, increasing the compactness of the granules, and improving the granulation quality.

[0087] 2.
