[0022] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the turntable structure of the present invention;

[0023] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the concentrate discharge device of the present invention. Implementation

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the heavy metal ore beneficiation machine of the present invention includes a frame 1, a turntable 7 and its driving device.

[0026] The turntable is tilted on the frame with its base tilted to the ground. The tilt angle of the turntable is preferably 10-50°.

[0027] The turntable is surrounded by a panel 71, with the turntable opening facing upwards and a concentrate outlet at the center of the bottom.

[0028] At least two rings of sorting plates 5 are fixed on the inner bottom plate of the turntable. The sorting plates are arranged with the concentrate outlet as the center, and a gap of 2-10 mm is provided between the bottom edge of the sorting plate and the bottom plate of the turntable to facilitate the passage of concentrate. Sorting channels are formed between adjacent sorting plates and between the sorting plates and the surrounding plates. A baffle 15 is provided between two adjacent rings of sorting plates. A tailings passage hole 14 is provided near the baffle on the outer ring of sorting plates. A baffle is provided between the sorting plates and the turntable surrounding plates.

[0029] The drive unit includes a motor 11 and a reducer 10. The bottom of the turntable is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reducer. The drive unit is fixed to the frame. The connection between the motor and the reducer is prior art.

[0030] A concentrate collection hopper 9 is provided below the concentrate outlet.

[0031] During operation, the ore enters the outermost sorting channel at the bottom of the turntable. The turntable rotates clockwise, causing the ore to rotate and generating centrifugal force, which separates the concentrate from the tailings. When the ore reaches the top of the turntable, the concentrate falls through the gap between the bottom edge of the sorting plate and the bottom plate of the turntable and enters the inner sorting channel for further sorting. Finally, the concentrate is discharged from the concentrate outlet at the bottom center and collected by the concentrate collection hopper, while the tailings in the inner circle are discharged through the tailings outlet under the action of the baffle.

[0032] To improve sorting accuracy, a concentrate discharge device is also installed. This device consists of 1-4 discharge plates. The discharge plates are overlapped and fixed above the concentrate outlet at the bottom of the turntable. There are 2-10 mm gaps between the discharge plates and between the lower discharge plate and the turntable bottom plate. Both the middle and lower discharge plates have discharge holes, which correspond to the concentrate outlet at the bottom of the turntable. The qualified concentrate enters through the gaps between the discharge plates and between the lower discharge plate and the turntable bottom plate, and exits through the concentrate outlet, preventing other impurities from entering the concentrate outlet.

[0033] To facilitate tailings discharge and improve work efficiency, a tailings separation device is also included. The tailings separation device is located above the lower part of the turntable. The tailings separation device includes a connecting rod 3 and separation plates 4. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the frame, and the other end is connected to the separation plates. One to four separation plates are provided. The separation plates extend downwards into the sorting channel near the surrounding plate. Under the action of the separation plates, the tailings are blocked to prevent further repeated sorting, and instead are squeezed downwards into the outer sorting channel and discharged.

[0034] To improve sorting efficiency, ore collecting bars 17 can be installed on the rotary table bottom plate, between the bottom edge of the sorting plate and the rotary table bottom plate, and radially along the rotary table bottom plate. Four or more ore collecting bars are symmetrically arranged. Under the action of the ore collecting bars, the concentrate can flow smoothly to the center of the rotary table for easy collection from the sorting process.

[0035] To accommodate the needs of different mineral beneficiation processes and facilitate adjustment of the turntable tilt, a turntable tilt adjustment device is also included. The turntable tilt adjustment device comprises a drive unit fixing plate 12 and an adjusting screw 13. The drive unit fixing plate is hinged to the frame in the middle. One end of the adjusting screw is hinged to the lower part of the drive unit fixing plate, and the other end is threaded into the adjusting screw hole of the frame.

[0036] To facilitate tailings discharge and improve work efficiency, as a further improvement, the height of the sorting plate is lower than the height of the surrounding plate, and the height of the inner sorting plate between two adjacent sorting plates is lower than the height of the outer sorting plate. This allows the tailings to flow continuously outward through the sorting channel.

[0037] To facilitate tailings discharge and improve work efficiency, a further improvement includes a flushing pipe 6. The flushing pipe is fixed to the frame, and its outlet is located above the turntable, facing downwards.

[0038] To avoid collecting tailings, a tailings hopper 2 is also included. The tailings hopper is located below the bottom of the turntable.

[0039] It also includes a feeding device 16. The feeding device has a discharge port, which is located above the lower part of the turntable and corresponds to the sorting channel near the side panel.
