[0027] The actions of the movable screen 300 include vibration, rotation, and shaking, which will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1: like Figure 2 As shown, the movable screen 300 in this embodiment is a vibrating screen 310 , which vibrates to screen scum in the slurry.

[0030] In one embodiment, the elastic member 313 includes a plurality of springs 313a, and the vibration frame 311 is connected to the pool body 100 via the plurality of springs 313a. When the vibration motor 314 is turned on, the plate-shaped screen 312 connected to the vibration frame 311 vibrates through the compression and extension of the springs 313a.

[0031] To ensure stable vibration, the elastic member 313 also includes two connecting rods 313b, a plurality of limiting rods 313c and a plurality of connecting blocks 313d arranged in parallel.

The plurality of connecting blocks 313d are all fixedly connected to the vibration frame 311, and the plurality of springs 313a are respectively mounted on the plurality of limiting rods 313c, and the two ends of the plurality of springs 313a are respectively in contact with the connecting rods 313b and the connecting blocks 313d.

[0032] Example 2: like Figure 4 As shown, the movable screen 300 in this embodiment is a cylindrical screen 320, which is rotated to screen scum in the slurry.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cylindrical screen 320 includes a screen drum 321, a cylindrical screen 322 and a rotating member 323. The cylindrical screen 322 is coaxially built into the screen drum 321 and is rotatably connected to the screen drum 321 via the rotating member 323. The slurry outlet 110 extends into the cylindrical screen 322, and the cylindrical screen 322 is arranged to be inclined downward in a direction away from the slurry outlet 110.

[0035] In one embodiment, the rotating member 323 includes four bearing seats 323a, two rotating shafts 323b, and four rollers 323c. The two rotating shafts 323b are arranged in parallel on both sides of the cylindrical screen 322.

A single conveyor belt can handle the dross transported by multiple movable screens, effectively reducing labor costs.

[0040] The present embodiment further includes a discharge assembly 500 for receiving the slurry screened out by the movable screen 300.

[0041] In one embodiment, the discharge assembly 500 includes a discharge pipe 510. However, due to the action of the movable screen 300, the ore slurry cannot be effectively introduced into the discharge pipe 510, so a transfer box 520 can also be provided, which is arranged at the bottom of the movable screen 300, and the top end of the discharge pipe 510 is in communication with the transfer box 520, thereby solving the above problem.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the ore material is introduced into the double-spiral washing machine, the double-spiral washing machine performs scrubbing on the ore material, the scrubbed ore slurry flows from the slurry outlet 110 to the movable screen 300, the movable screen 300 performs screening on the ore slurry, intercepts the dross in the ore slurry, and makes it fall onto the conveyor belt, which is transported to the designated position through the conveyor belt 400.

[0043] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
