[0025] In order to solve the problem of low automation and intelligence of existing ore grinding and selection technology, please refer to Figure 1-3 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:

[0026] A self-adjusting grinding and selection system for a permanent magnet motor directly driven ball mill, comprising:

[0027] The drive control module includes a permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 and a high voltage frequency converter 7. The permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 is used to drive the cylinder of the ball mill 1 to rotate; the high voltage frequency converter 7 is used to drive the permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 and perform remote control and fault diagnosis;

[0028] Specifically, the transmission efficiency of the permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 is about 93%, and the energy consumption of the permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 adopted reaches the international IE4 (higher than the national first-level energy consumption standard), which is 15% higher than the efficiency of "asynchronous motor + reducer". The starting torque of the permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 is 220% of the rated torque. When the working condition requires full load or overload starting, it can be started directly without manual unloading, avoiding motor damage caused by stalling and overload;

[0029] The permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 is connected to a pinion through a drum coupling, and the pinion is meshed with a large gear provided on the ball mill 1, thereby driving the cylinder of the ball mill 1 to rotate;

[0030] The high-voltage inverter 7 is matched with the permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4. The high-voltage inverter 7 adopts the Internet of Things technology and supports the access of multiple communication interfaces such as CAN, ModBus485, PROFBUSDP, etc.

[0031] The high-voltage frequency converter 7 is also connected to the grinding sound monitoring unit 6, the automatic ball adding machine 2, the hydrocyclone 3, the ore feeding pump 11, the slurry concentration meter 12, the radar level meter 10, the vibration sensor, the speed sensor and the temperature sensor;

[0033] The state monitoring module, which is composed of a grinding sound monitoring unit 6, a vibration sensor, a rotation speed sensor and a temperature sensor, is used to monitor the internal operating state and environmental parameters of the ball mill 1 in real time;

[0034] The automatic feeding module includes an automatic ball adding machine 2 and a feeding trolley 5. The automatic ball adding machine 2 sets the number of balls to be added regularly according to the ball consumption of the ball mill 1 on site, and automatically replenishes the balls under the control of the high-voltage frequency converter 7. The feeding trolley 5 moves on the track. The main structure of the feeding trolley 5 is a feeding chute and a car body. The feeding chute is fixed on the car body to provide a continuous and stable material supply for the ball mill 1.

[0035] The grading and separation module includes a hydrocyclone 3 and a high-field strength magnetic separator 9, which is used to grade and separate materials according to their size and properties to ensure the quality of the concentrate;

[0036] The hydrocyclone 3 classifies the incoming materials, and the fine particles enter the high-field strength magnetic separator 9 through the overflow pipeline at the top of the hydrocyclone 3, and the coarse particles enter the feeding trolley 5 through the sand settling pipeline at the bottom of the hydrocyclone 3, and are then transported to the ball mill 1;

[0037] Among them, after the fine particle material enters the high field strength magnetic separator 9, the magnetic ore particles are magnetically aggregated under the action of the magnetic field to form magnetic clusters. The magnetic clusters are acted on by the magnetic force in the ore pulp and move toward the magnetic poles and are adsorbed on the cylinder. These magnetic particle concentrates move with the cylinder to the weakest magnetic point at the edge of the magnetic system, and are unloaded into the concentrate tank under the action of the flushing water flow sprayed from the unloading water pipe, and the non-magnetic impurities are discharged from the grinding and selection circulation system;

[0038] The mining pool control module includes a radar level meter 10, a feeding pump 11 and a slurry concentration meter 12. The radar level meter 10 is placed above the feeding pool 13 and is used to monitor and adjust the liquid level in the feeding pool 13, and transmit the liquid level data to the data processing and centralized control module in real time to maintain stable working conditions; the slurry concentration meter 12 is used to monitor the concentration of the transported material and adjust the feeding frequency and liquid level in time; the feeding pump 11 is used to transport the material to the hydrocyclone 3.

[0039] The data processing and centralized control module integrates Internet of Things technology and edge computing capabilities, is used to receive monitoring data and operating data transmitted by the network, uses mathematical models to calculate the operating load of the hydrocyclone 3, ball mill 1 and high-field strength magnetic separator 9, and automatically adjusts various parameters of the ore feeding process according to the detection signal to achieve unattended operation; it has the centralized control function of multiple devices to ensure the coordinated operation of the entire production line; and a centralized control room is set up to adjust the equipment parameters remotely.

[0040] The grinding sound monitoring unit 6 is connected to the ball mill 1 and is used to monitor the operating sound inside the cylinder of the ball mill 1 and determine the operating status inside the cylinder of the ball mill 1 according to the sound.

[0041] The permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 is connected to the motor water cooling device 8. A water filter is added to the water inlet of the permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4. Antifreeze can be added when working in a low temperature environment. The motor water cooling device 8 has a built-in cooling fan, a water pump and a matching motor. The water pump is made of stainless steel; the motor water cooling device 8 is powered by the high-voltage inverter 7 and is connected to the data and centralized control module for control.

[0042] Working principle: The feed pool 13 receives the materials after ultra-fine crushing, screening and coarse magnetic separation. The radar level meter 10 monitors the pump pool level in real time and feeds back the data to the data processing and centralized control module through network transmission to ensure that the liquid level remains within a safe range. The feed pump 11 adjusts the delivery rate according to the concentration information provided by the slurry concentration meter 12 to ensure the best feeding conditions. The materials are fed into the hydrocyclone 3 for efficient classification.

[0043] Among them, coarse-grained ore enters the feeding trolley 5 through the sand settling pipeline and is input into the ball mill 1 for grinding. The permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor 4 drives the cylinder of the ball mill 1 to rotate through the drum coupling and the gear transmission system. The high-voltage inverter 7 accurately controls the motor speed and collects data from the vibration, speed and temperature sensors. The grinding sound monitoring unit 6 monitors the sound in the cylinder, determines the grinding state and makes corresponding adjustments. The automatic ball adding machine 2 automatically replenishes steel balls based on the set time or the detected steel ball consumption. The ground material enters the ore feeding pool 13 again; the fine-grained ore enters the high-field strength magnetic separator 9 through the overflow pipeline, the magnetic ore particles are adsorbed and finally unloaded into the concentrate tank, and the non-magnetic part is discharged as tailings.
