The tailings are deposited at the bottom of the workbench 104 through the filter hole 303, and are discharged through the excess material pipe 113, the tailings yield is 68%, and the alumina grade is 11.3%. After the batch operation is completed, the drive motor 106 continues to run for 30 s, and the workbench 104 completes self-cleaning under the inertial vibration, and the residual tailings are completely discharged through the excess material pipe 113. The stepping motor 501 is then started, the speed is set to 100 r / min, the bidirectional screw rod 502 has a pitch of 4 mm, and the moving block 503 completes ±50 mm reciprocating movement. The camera 507 carries out secondary confirmation on the inner wall of the workbench 104, the image shows that there is no visible attachment, and the system enters standby state, waiting for the next batch of feeding.
[0047] Working principle: the drive motor 106 outputs rotary motion after being powered, which is transmitted to the cam 108 through the drive shaft 107; the cam 108 rolls continuously in the cam groove 111 of the cam seat 110, converting the rotary motion into periodic lifting displacement of the workbench 104, which is amplified to high-frequency micro-vibration by the elastic support system composed of the telescopic rod 102 and the spring 103, so that the mineralized foam or reagent attached to the inner wall of the workbench 104 is detached under the action of inertial force, realizing the self-cleaning function.
[0048] The stirring motor 202 is synchronously started, and its output end drives the driving gear 204 to rotate through the driving shaft 203, the driving gear 204 meshes with the driven gear 206, and drives the whole jet pipe 205 to rotate around its own axis; the stirring blade 209 at the lower end of the jet pipe 205 forms a tangential flow field in the ore pulp, and at the same time, the external air source enters the jet pipe 205 through the hose 207 and is uniformly released by the nozzle 208, after the ore pulp is injected into the inner cavity of the workbench 104, the target mineral is attached to the bubble to float and form a mineralized foam layer.
[0049] The lifting motor 402 is started according to the process program, the driving bevel gear 403 drives the driven bevel gear 404 and drives the left lifting threaded rod 301 to rotate, and through the synchronous wheel 306 and the belt 307, the right lifting threaded rod 301 is synchronously rotated; the lifting plate 302 is vertically lifted under the guidance of the limiting rod 305, the filter hole 303 lifts the mineralized foam layer to the height corresponding to the discharge pipe 112, and the foam is discharged through the discharge pipe 112; the mineral particles and tailings that do not reach the flotation particle size are deposited at the bottom of the workbench 104 through the filter hole 303, and finally discharged through the excess material pipe 113, completing a single flotation cycle.
[0050] The camera 507 collects the thickness, color and fluidity images of the mineralized foam layer in the flotation process in real time, and outputs the image signal to the external monitoring terminal; the operator adjusts the rotating speed of the stirring motor 202, the air volume entering the jet pipe 205 through the hose 207 or the action timing of the lifting motor 402 according to the feedback information, so as to optimize the flotation index. After the batch operation is completed, the camera 507 performs secondary scanning on the inner wall of the workbench 104 to confirm that there is no residual material attached, and ensures the process consistency of the next batch operation.
