Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tower mill equipment technology, specifically a tower mill liner. Background Technology
[0002] Tower mills, as highly efficient grinding equipment, are widely used in industries such as mining, metallurgy, and building materials. Their core working components include the grinding cylinder, the spiral agitator, and the liners. The liners, as protective components of the inner wall of the tower mill grinding cylinder, not only need to withstand the impact and wear of the grinding media and materials, but also need to work with the spiral agitator to guide the movement trajectory of the materials to ensure grinding efficiency and effect.
[0003] Existing tower mill liners mostly employ straight plate or single-inclined spiral liner structures. While straight plate liners are simple in structure, they offer poor material guidance, leading to localized material accumulation within the grinding cylinder, resulting in uneven grinding and low grinding efficiency. Single-inclined spiral liners, although providing some material guidance, are prone to excessively rapid material slippage or prolonged residence time during material ascent or descent, similarly affecting grinding performance and equipment operational stability. Furthermore, existing liners exhibit concentrated wear areas, resulting in short service life and frequent replacements, increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime.
[0004] Therefore, developing a tower mill liner that can optimize material movement trajectory, improve grinding efficiency, and extend service life has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to overcome the defects of existing tower mill liners, such as poor material guiding effect, low grinding efficiency, and short service life. It provides a tower mill liner that, by setting inclined portions with different inclination directions at both ends of the spiral liner, achieves precise control of the material movement trajectory, improves grinding efficiency and effect, and at the same time reduces liner wear and extends service life.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tower mill liner, comprising a spiral liner body, wherein the spiral liner body extends spirally along the inner wall of the tower mill grinding cylinder, characterized in that: one end of the spiral liner body is provided with an upwardly inclined first inclined portion, and the other end is provided with a downwardly inclined second inclined portion.
[0007] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the first inclined part is 15°-45°, and its tilt direction is consistent with the spiral upward direction of the spiral liner body. It is used to guide the material to slowly climb up along the inner wall of the grinding cylinder, thereby increasing the contact time between the material and the grinding medium.
[0008] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the second inclined part is 10°-30°, and its inclination direction is consistent with the spiral descent direction of the spiral liner body. This is used to guide the material to slide smoothly down the inner wall of the grinding cylinder and avoid material accumulation.
[0009] Furthermore, the spiral liner body, the first inclined portion, and the second inclined portion are integrally formed structures, made of high-chromium cast iron, and their surfaces are provided with a wear-resistant coating with a thickness of 0.5-2mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the spiral helix angle of the spiral liner body is 8°-15° and the pitch is 200-500mm, ensuring that the material can achieve continuous and stable movement under the guidance of the spiral liner.
[0011] Furthermore, the length of the first inclined portion is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the pitch of a single turn of the spiral liner body, and the length of the second inclined portion is 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the pitch of a single turn of the spiral liner body, so as to ensure a smooth transition of material movement at the turning point.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a tower mill liner with the following advantages:
[0013] 1. An upward-sloping first inclined section and a downward-sloping second inclined section are respectively set at both ends of the spiral liner. This can guide the material to achieve a continuous movement of "slowly climbing and smoothly sliding" in the grinding cylinder, avoiding the accumulation of material or the phenomenon of sliding too fast. This allows the material to fully contact the grinding media and grind evenly, significantly improving the grinding efficiency and the fineness uniformity of the ground product.
[0014] 2. Reduce liner wear: The one-piece molded high-chromium cast iron structure combined with the wear-resistant coating on the surface improves the overall strength and wear resistance of the liner; at the same time, the reasonable tilt angle and length design disperses the impact of materials on the liner, avoids the concentration of wear points, extends the service life of the liner, and reduces equipment maintenance costs and downtime.
[0015] 3. Simple structure and easy installation: The liner structure of this invention is reasonably designed and highly compatible with the existing tower mill grinding cylinder. It can be directly installed and used without modifying the main structure of the tower mill, and has strong practicality and promotional value.
