Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal nanopowder preparation, and in particular relates to a metal nanopowder preparation system. Background Art
[0002] Nanopowder, also known as nanoparticles, generally refers to ultrafine particles with a size between 1-100nm. The shapes of nanoparticles include spherical, plate-like, rod-like, angular, sponge-like, etc. The components of nanoparticles can be metals, oxides, or various other compounds. Metal nanomaterials are an important branch of nanomaterials. Metal nanopowders are zero-dimensional nanomaterials, and their atomic and electronic structures are different from those of metal particles with the same chemical composition. They have unique properties in magnetism, light, electricity, sound, heat, force and chemistry that are different from those of macroscopic objects and single atoms.
[0003] Existing metal nanopowders are mostly prepared by mechanical ball milling. However, simple mechanical ball milling equipment has disadvantages such as high noise and large vibration when preparing metal nanopowders. At the same time, since the mechanical ball milling method obtains metal nanopowders by grinding, the grinding parts are easily damaged. In addition, the metal nanopowders prepared by simple mechanical ball milling have problems such as irregular shape and difficulty in deep processing.
[0004] In addition, when a simple mechanical ball milling method is used to obtain metal nanopowders, a long grinding time is required to obtain metal nanopowders of suitable specifications. The grinding materials used are mostly metal powders. When grinding large metal particles or metal blocks, the grinding efficiency is extremely low, and long-term continuous grinding can easily cause equipment damage or breakage, and the quality of the ground metal nanopowder cannot be guaranteed.
[0005] The Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN113019588A discloses an adjustable gap conical grinding device for the preparation of nano powders. The conical grinding device of the invention consists of two symmetrical parts, both of which include: a conical grinding cylinder, the radial dimension of which gradually decreases along the center direction of the conical grinding device; a multi-stage blade stirring paddle, the multi-stage blade stirring paddle is arranged at the center of the conical grinding cylinder; a stirring main shaft, the multi-stage blade stirring paddle is connected to the stirring main shaft; the multi-stage blade stirring paddle includes: a stirring paddle body and a plurality of stirring blades, the outer diameter of the stirring blades decreases in sequence along the center direction of the conical grinding device; the rotation of the stirring main shaft is driven by a transmission device. The invention has the characteristics of compact structure and convenient assembly and disassembly. It can adjust the distance between the multi-stage blade stirring paddle and the inner wall of the conical grinding cylinder according to actual needs, effectively concentrate the grinding energy density, improve grinding efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The adjustable gap cone grinding device for preparing nano powder adopts the mechanical ball milling method to prepare metal nano powder, and its grinding material is metal powder. The invention cannot directly grind large metal particles or metal blocks. When grinding large metal particles or metal blocks, it is easy to cause damage or breakage of the equipment, and the quality of the ground metal nano powder cannot be guaranteed.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention adopts a gas atomization method to prepare metal nanopowders, which can directly prepare metal nanopowders from large metal particles or metal blocks, making it convenient to select suitable large metal particles or metal blocks according to the metal nanopowders required. The large metal particles or metal blocks selected by the present invention do not need to crush metal powders to achieve the preparation of metal nanopowders; the present invention uses a reaction structure to quickly and efficiently melt large metal particles or metal blocks, and the atomization structure uses an inert gas flow to impact the molten metal at high speed, so that it is broken and atomized into fine metal droplets. Under the action of the radiator, the molten fine metal droplets are quickly cooled and solidified to form metal nanopowders, and then the metal nanopowders that meet the standards are screened out through a screening structure, thereby achieving the purpose of preparing metal nanopowders from large metal particles or metal blocks. The metal nanopowder prepared by the present invention has the characteristics of fine particle size, high sphericity, low oxygen content, etc., and is suitable for large-scale production and low cost; the powder atomizer of the present invention uses an inert gas to impact the molten metal, which can significantly reduce the oxygen content and impurity content in the metal nanopowder and improve the purity of the metal nanopowder. The inert gas is preferably helium, nitrogen, or argon.
[0018] (2) The present invention can prepare metal nanopowders in a vacuum environment. By using a vacuum pump to draw a vacuum into the atomization tube, the influence of the environment on the metal nanopowders during atomization can be reduced, thereby improving the purity and uniformity of the metal nanopowders, increasing the particle size of the metal nanopowders, reducing the oxygen content of the metal nanopowders, and improving the quality of the metal nanopowders.
[0019] (2) The atomization structure uses a powder atomizer to atomize the molten metal liquid flowing out of the inverted cone guide tube, so that the molten metal liquid is broken and atomized into fine metal droplets. The fine metal droplets are dissipated by a radiator, and the fine metal droplets are quickly cooled and formed to obtain metal nanopowders with fine particle size and high sphericity. The powder atomizer uses an inert gas, such as helium, to impact the molten metal at a high speed, so that it is quickly broken and atomized into fine metal droplets. The use of inert gas can prevent air from contacting the metal fine metal droplets, reduce the oxygen content of the metal nanopowder, and improve its quality.
[0020] (3) The present invention screens the metal nanopowders that have been atomized through a screening structure. The metal nanopowders that have been atomized flow into the vertical hollow screening shaft along the funnel guide tube. The screening structure drives the spherical screening cage to rotate along the vertical hollow screening shaft in the screening tube through the screening motor. The metal nanopowders that have been atomized in the vertical hollow screening shaft escape into the spherical screening cage along the hollow part of the vertical hollow screening shaft. Under the action of the screening filter, the metal nanopowders that meet the standards pass through the screening filter and fall into the screening tube, while the metal nanopowders that do not meet the standards are blocked in the screening filter, thereby completing the screening of the metal nanopowders that have been atomized.
[0021] (4) The screening structure of the present invention will not clog the screening filter during the screening process, and there is no need to clean or replace the screening filter, thereby improving the screening efficiency of metal nanopowders. After the screening is completed, the metal nanopowders that do not meet the standards will flow into the waste barrel along the vertical hollow screening axis, and the metal nanopowders that meet the standards will be collected along the conical discharge barrel, thereby meeting the screening needs of metal nanopowders.
[0022] In summary, the present invention prepares metal nanopowders in a vacuum environment, which can reduce the impact of the environment on the metal nanopowders during atomization, reduce the oxygen content of the metal nanopowders, and improve the quality of the metal nanopowders; the present invention adopts a gas atomization method to prepare metal nanopowders, which can directly prepare large metal particles or metal blocks into metal nanopowders, and can prepare metal nanopowders with the characteristics of fine particle size, high sphericity, low oxygen content, etc. at a low cost.

[0036] A method for preparing a metal nanopowder system, the steps comprising: S1, melting large metal particles or metal blocks or metal powder through reaction structure 3; Open the sealing plug 303, add large metal particles, metal blocks or metal powder into the reactor 301 on the preparation frame 1 through the material guide cavity, the large metal particles, metal blocks or metal powder flow into the reactor 301 along the material guide hole, use the electric heating wire in the reaction structure 3 to heat the reaction shaft 302, the arc-shaped reaction plate 307, the fan-shaped reaction rod 310 and the reactor 301, so that the temperature in the reactor 301 is rapidly increased, the stirring motor 304 drives the stirring heater to rotate through the reaction shaft 302, the reaction shaft 302 rotates along the reaction bearing 308, drives the arc-shaped reaction plate 307 and the fan-shaped reaction rod 310 in the reaction hole 309 to rotate, continuously stirs the metal in the reactor 301, makes it evenly heated, facilitates the rapid melting of the metal in the reactor 301, and monitors the reaction temperature in the reactor 301 in real time through the temperature sensor; the design of multiple reactors 301 can realize continuous preparation of metal nanopowders.
[0037] The amount of large metal particles, metal blocks or metal powder added and the melting effect in the reactor 301 are observed through the observation window 306 and the scale 305; the stirring heater is started before adding large metal particles, metal blocks or metal powder, so as to evenly distribute the added metal materials in the reactor 301. After the molten metal is added, the sealing plug 303 is used to close the material guide cavity to prevent the metal materials from clogging and affecting the use of the stirring heater.
[0038] S2, atomizing and forming the melted metal molten liquid through the atomizing structure 2; After the metal in the reactor 301 is completely melted, before atomization and forming, a vacuum pump is used to draw the atomization pipe 5 into a vacuum state, and the atomization valve 205 is opened. The melted metal molten liquid flows to the atomization pipe 5, and when it flows through the inverted cone guide plate 202 and the inverted cone guide pipe 201, it flows along the guide hole at the tip of the inverted cone guide pipe 201. The powder atomizer 204 is used to impact the metal molten liquid flowing out of the tip of the inverted cone guide pipe 201 with a high-speed airflow. Specifically, the inert gas is used to high-speed The molten liquid metal is impacted at high speed, and the pressure valve is opened. An inert gas, such as helium, is pressurized and filled into the hollow atomizing shaft 210 through the pressure tube 209 of the atomizing structure 2. The inert gas flows along the hollow atomizing shaft 210 toward the side of the spherical atomizing tube 212, and high-pressure inert gas is sprayed toward the flowing molten metal liquid through the atomizing micropores at the tip of the atomizing cone convex 211 on the spherical atomizing tube 212.

[0042] S3, screening the metal nanopowders meeting the standards through the screening structure 6; The metal nanopowder after atomization forming flows into the vertical hollow screening shaft 603 after passing through the funnel guide cylinder 609. The screening structure 6 drives the spherical screening cage 604 and the vertical hollow screening shaft 603 to rotate along the screening bearing 605 in the screening cylinder 601 through the screening motor 602. The metal nanopowder after atomization forming in the vertical hollow screening shaft 603 escapes into the spherical screening cage 604 along the hollow holes 610 of the vertical hollow screening shaft 603. Under the action of the screening filter 608, the metal nanopowder that meets the standards passes through the screening filter 608 and falls into the screening cylinder 601, and the metal nanopowder that does not meet the standards is blocked in the screening filter 608, thereby screening and classifying the metal nanopowder after atomization forming.
[0043] After the screening and classification is completed, the discharge cover 606 is opened first, and the metal nanopowder that meets the standards in the screening cylinder 601 flows out along the conical discharge cylinder 607 and is collected. After the metal nanopowder that meets the standards is collected, the screening valve 611 is opened, and the metal nanopowder that does not meet the standards in the spherical screening cage 604 flows into the waste cylinder through the hollow vertical hollow screening shaft 603, which is convenient for re-melting and preparing metal nanopowder processing, thereby completing the classification and screening of the prepared metal nanopowder.

[0045] The amount of large metal particles, metal blocks or metal powder added and the melting effect in the reactor 301 are observed through the observation window 306 and the scale 305; the stirring heater is started before adding large metal particles, metal blocks or metal powder, so as to evenly distribute the added metal materials in the reactor 301. After the molten metal is added, the sealing plug 303 is used to close the material guide cavity to prevent the metal materials from clogging and affecting the use of the stirring heater.
[0046] S2, atomizing and forming the melted metal molten liquid through the atomizing structure 2; After the metal in the reactor 301 is completely melted, before atomization and forming, a vacuum pump is used to draw the atomization pipe 5 into a vacuum state, and the atomization valve 205 is opened. The melted metal molten liquid flows to the atomization pipe 5, and when it flows through the inverted cone guide plate 202 and the inverted cone guide pipe 201, it flows along the guide hole at the tip of the inverted cone guide pipe 201. The powder atomizer 204 is used to impact the metal molten liquid flowing out of the tip of the inverted cone guide pipe 201 with a high-speed airflow. Specifically, the inert gas is used to high-speed The molten liquid metal is impacted at high speed, and the pressure valve is opened. An inert gas, such as helium, is pressurized and filled into the hollow atomizing shaft 210 through the pressure tube 209 of the atomizing structure 2. The inert gas flows along the hollow atomizing shaft 210 toward the side of the spherical atomizing tube 212, and high-pressure inert gas is sprayed toward the flowing molten metal liquid through the atomizing micropores at the tip of the atomizing cone convex 211 on the spherical atomizing tube 212. The inert gas impacts the molten metal liquid at high speed, causing it to be atomized and broken into nanometer-level fine metal droplets.
[0047] At the same time, the atomizing motor 203 drives the hollow atomizing shaft 210 to rotate on the atomizing tube 5 along the atomizing bearing 207, and the pressurizing tube 209 rotates on the hollow atomizing shaft 210 along the sealing bearing 208, so that the spherical atomizing tube 212 and the atomizing sleeve 206 continue to rotate in the atomizing tube 5, stirring the atomized and broken fine metal droplets, causing them to slide down quickly along the atomizing tube 5.
[0048] Then, the radiator 4 is used to quickly dissipate the heat of the fine metal droplets in the atomizing tube 5, and the fine metal droplets are quickly cooled and formed to obtain metal nanopowders with fine particle size and high sphericity. The radiator 4 drives the heat dissipation sleeve 401 to rotate on the atomizing tube 5 along the heat dissipation bearing 403 through the heat dissipation motor 404. The heat dissipation fan rotates with the heat dissipation sleeve 401 to generate a heat dissipation airflow, so that the airflow flows into the heat dissipation sleeve 401 along the annular air inlet 402, and then discharges the heat dissipation sleeve 401 along the annular exhaust hole, and the spiral heat dissipation tube on the atomizing tube 5 is heat-dissipated. At the same time, the material guide motor 407 drives the material guide shaft 406 to rotate along the material guide bearing 405 in the atomizing tube 5, so that the staggered arc-shaped material guide plates 408 rotate in the atomizing tube 5, so that the fine metal droplets gradually pass through the heat dissipation area along the arc-shaped material guide plates 408, so that the molten fine metal droplets are quickly cooled and solidified to form metal nanopowders, and the atomization molding process of the metal nanopowder is completed.
[0049] The use of inert gas can prevent air from coming into contact with tiny metal droplets, reduce the oxygen content of metal nanopowders, and improve the atomization molding quality of metal nanopowders.
[0050] S3, screening the metal nanopowders meeting the standards through the screening structure 6; The metal nanopowder after atomization forming flows into the vertical hollow screening shaft 603 after passing through the funnel guide cylinder 609. The screening structure 6 drives the spherical screening cage 604 and the vertical hollow screening shaft 603 to rotate along the screening bearing 605 in the screening cylinder 601 through the screening motor 602. The metal nanopowder after atomization forming in the vertical hollow screening shaft 603 escapes into the spherical screening cage 604 along the hollow holes 610 of the vertical hollow screening shaft 603. Under the action of the screening filter 608, the metal nanopowder that meets the standards passes through the screening filter 608 and falls into the screening cylinder 601, and the metal nanopowder that does not meet the standards is blocked in the screening filter 608, thereby screening and classifying the metal nanopowder after atomization forming.
[0051] After the screening and classification is completed, the discharge cover 606 is opened first, and the metal nanopowder that meets the standards in the screening cylinder 601 flows out along the conical discharge cylinder 607 and is collected. After the metal nanopowder that meets the standards is collected, the screening valve 611 is opened, and the metal nanopowder that does not meet the standards in the spherical screening cage 604 flows into the waste cylinder through the hollow vertical hollow screening shaft 603, which is convenient for re-melting and preparing metal nanopowder processing, thereby completing the classification and screening of the prepared metal nanopowder.
