Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cement grinding technology, specifically to a low-energy external circulation vertical roller mill for cement and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical roller mills, also known as vertical mills, are a type of high-efficiency material grinding equipment that integrates crushing, grinding, pneumatic conveying, in-mill drying, grading, and sorting. They are widely used in industries such as cement, power, non-metallic minerals, and industrial waste treatment. They use a rotating grinding disc to drive the grinding rollers to move relative to each other. The particles form a material layer under the centrifugal force of the grinding disc and are subjected to strong extrusion force generated by the swinging of the grinding rollers driven by a hydraulic cylinder. The material is crushed by multiple compressions and shearings during the rolling of the grinding rollers, resulting in a product with good sphericity. Therefore, vertical mills are widely accepted and used as grinding equipment for producing fine or ultrafine powders.
[0003] Currently, mainstream vertical mills can be divided into internal circulation and external circulation types based on their material circulation methods. The traditional internal circulation vertical mill's workflow is as follows: newly fed material is ground by the grinding disc and rollers, and then thrown to the air ring under the centrifugal force of the grinding disc. It is then blown up by a high-speed hot airflow drawn from the bottom of the mill for pneumatic lifting. The blown-up material enters the dynamic classifier integrated at the top of the mill for sorting. Finished products with qualified fineness are carried out by the airflow and collected by the dust collector; coarse particles return to the grinding disc for further grinding under gravity or mechanical action, while large particles that are not blown up by the airflow fall to the bottom of the mill, are scraped out by the scraper, and returned to the mill via an external bucket elevator. However, the above internal circulation mode has the following drawbacks: high energy consumption, severe wear, stringent requirements for sealing, and difficulty in controlling the stability of the material layer.
[0004] The basic idea of external circulation vertical mill technology is to discharge most of the ground material mechanically and send it to a separate classifier for sorting, with only a small amount of fine powder or gas circulating inside the mill. Although the existing external circulation technology reduces the burden of pneumatic lifting, it still has the following shortcomings:
[0005] 1. Low efficiency of grading system: The common solution is to use a combination of "V-type classifier (V-type classifier) + high-efficiency dynamic classifier". V-type classifier mainly relies on material impact dispersion and gravity air separation. Its internal air velocity is low, which has limited effect on breaking up materials that are easy to agglomerate after grinding. The pre-grading efficiency is low, which may lead to a large load on the subsequent dynamic classifier. It still requires a large air volume for pneumatic conveying and separation, and the reduction of system air volume and resistance is not obvious.
[0006] 2. Overall energy saving effect is not significant: Since the grading efficiency has not been fundamentally improved, the energy consumption of the fan may still be high, and the energy saving effect of the grinding system is not significant.
[0007] Therefore, the present invention provides a low-energy external circulation vertical roller mill for cement and its usage method, which significantly reduces the energy consumption of the grinding system while improving the operational stability and service life of the equipment, while ensuring product quality.

[0021] A method for using a low-energy external circulation vertical roller mill for cement, the steps of which are as follows:
[0022] S1. Mixing and feeding: The newly fed cement raw materials and the recycled material from the low-resistance high-efficiency separator are mixed in the mixing and feeding device and then fed into the center of the grinding disc assembly of the grinding mechanism.
[0023] S2. Coarse crushing and grinding: By starting the drive device and pressurizing device of the grinding mechanism, the grinding disc assembly is rotated and pressure is applied to the grinding roller. Under the centrifugal force of the grinding disc assembly, the material enters the grinding track to form a material layer, so that a coarse crushing chamber and a grinding chamber with a reasonable distribution of multi-dimensional force field are formed between the grinding roller sleeve and the grinding disc assembly liner. Under the crushing of the grinding roller, the material is crushed in sequence through the coarse crushing chamber and the grinding chamber.
[0024] S3. Dispersion and Lifting: Most of the ground material is dispersed by the rotating scraper and discharged. It is then mechanically lifted by the external circulation elevator, and after being evenly distributed by the distribution bin, it is fed into the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier.
[0025] S4. Pre-selection and fine selection: The material entering the low-resistance high-efficiency air classifier is fluidized and initially dispersed in the stratified fluidized dispersion chamber, and then enters the strong vortex classification zone. Coarse particles are separated under the action of centrifugal force and velocity gradient shear and fall into the external collection hopper. Fine particles and powdery materials enter the forced vortex classification zone, where they are separated under the combined action of centrifugal force generated by the sorting rotor and airflow suction. Powdery materials with qualified fineness are discharged from the air outlet with the airflow and collected by the dust collector. Fine particles with unqualified fineness are separated and fall into the internal collection hopper. Coarse particles and fine particles are returned to the mixing and feeding device as recycled materials and re-enter the grinding mechanism for a new round of grinding.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0027] (1) The low-energy external circulation cement vertical roller mill and its usage method described in this invention separate the grinding and classification functions of the traditional internal circulation cement vertical mill through the external circulation elevator and the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier. After the material is ground, more than 95% of the material is discharged to the outside of the mill for external circulation. It is mechanically lifted into the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier for horizontal airflow gradient classification of coarse and fine particles. The classified finished product enters the dust collector. The material with unqualified fineness is returned to the vertical mill for re-grinding. It is mechanically lifted into the classifier to reduce the power consumption of the circulating fan. The airflow is horizontal and tangential during the classification, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of gas-carrying material transportation. Only a small amount of ventilation is provided in the vertical mill to stabilize the material layer and collect dust. The pressure head and air volume of the circulating fan of the system are greatly reduced, which truly achieves the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.
[0028] (2) The low-energy external circulation cement vertical roller mill and its usage method described in this invention optimize the relative position of the roller and the disk under force by forming a grinding mechanism through the spherical groove liner plate installed on the grinding disc and the conical drum spherical roller sleeve installed on the grinding roller, and reasonably establish the energy distribution of the material layer crushing. After the material on the grinding disc is ground, it is thrown out under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the grinding disc. Therefore, the thickness of the material layer on the disc is thinner than that of the traditional internal circulation vertical mill, which greatly improves the grinding efficiency, reduces the grinding energy consumption, reduces the circulating load, stabilizes the material layer, reduces the mill vibration, and improves the equipment stability.
[0029] (3) The low-energy external circulation cement vertical roller mill and its usage method described in this invention adopt the form of top feeding, layered fluidized spreading, tangential horizontal air intake, and horizontal airflow gradient classification of coarse and fine particles for classification. This solves the problems of large mill vibration, low roller pressure, low output, and high power consumption. Through zoned gradient classification, the pressure head and air volume of the circulating fan required for powder classification are greatly reduced, effectively reducing the resistance of the powder classifier and achieving high solid-to-gas ratio, low resistance, and high-efficiency powder classification.
[0030] (4) The low-energy external circulation vertical roller mill for cement and its usage method described in this invention replaces the pneumatic conveying inside the mill with mechanical lifting outside the mill, which greatly reduces the pressure head and air volume of the circulating fan in the system, avoids the high-speed airflow carrying materials to scour the surface of various parts inside the mill, reduces wear, and extends the service life of the grinding body and various components.
[0031] (5) The low-energy external circulation cement vertical roller mill and its usage method described in this invention, through a fully enclosed structure and micro negative pressure operation, produces dust-free production processes, realizes intelligent production equipment, is conducive to large-scale production, and reduces production energy consumption.

[0052] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0053] Example 1: As Figures 1-10As shown, the present invention discloses a low-energy external circulation vertical roller mill for cement and its usage method, comprising a mixing and feeding device 100 disposed inside the mill, and a grinding mechanism 200 disposed at the bottom of the mixing and feeding device 100. The grinding mechanism 200 includes a housing 230 and a grinding disc assembly 210 disposed inside the housing 230. An external circulation elevator 300 fixed to the foundation is disposed outside the grinding mechanism 200. The inlet of the external circulation elevator 300 is connected to the outlet of the grinding mechanism 200. The external circulation elevator 300 discharges the ground material in the grinding mechanism 200 to the outside of the grinding mechanism 200 for external circulation, and feeds it into a low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400 located above the grinding mechanism 200 by mechanical lifting. The mixing and feeding device 100 is configured to receive and feed the material. The newly fed raw materials are mixed with the recycled material from the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400, and the mixture is fed into the center of the grinding disc assembly 210 of the grinding mechanism 200. The low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 230 of the grinding mechanism 200. A set of feeding ports 422 at the top of the classifier is connected to the discharge port of a set of material bins 310 of the external circulation elevator 300. An air outlet 421 on one side of the top of the classifier is connected to the dust collector 500. The prepared material is fluidized and dispersed in the stratified fluidized dispersion chamber FS located in the middle of the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400. The shear force of the horizontal velocity gradient is used to break up the particle agglomerates. The material enters the strong swirling classification zone XL and the forced vortex classification zone WL. In the swirling and vortex fields, the material is centrifugally settled and classified according to particle size, so as to achieve the classification of coarse particles A and fine particles B.
[0054] In this embodiment, the crushed cement raw material enters the mill through the feeding pipe 110, and is mixed with the recycled material returned from the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400 after grinding, coarse selection, and fine selection. The mixture is then fed into the mixing and feeding device 100, where it is pre-mixed evenly. The material is then fed into the center of the grinding disc assembly 210 of the grinding mechanism 200. The coarse and fine particles fall into the center of the grinding disc assembly 210. Under the centrifugal force of the rotating grinding disc assembly 210, the material is carried into a special crushing zone formed by the spherical grooved liner 212 and the conical drum-shaped spherical roller sleeve 221. The material first enters the relatively low-pressure coarse crushing chamber PS, undergoes pre-crushing and compaction to form a flat material bed, and then enters the high-pressure grinding chamber NM. Under strong extrusion and shearing forces, it is effectively crushed. Most of the crushed material is thrown away from the grinding disc assembly 210 in the form of a cake and falls into the annular area at the bottom of the mill. The scraper 215, which rotates with the grinding disc, mechanically breaks it down into loose particles. The particles then fall into the external circulation elevator 300 and are mechanically and vertically lifted to the top distribution bin 310. The material then enters the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400. The material is dispersed by the spreading disc 424 and, with the assistance of the dynamic fluidization system 425, achieves full single-particle dispersion in the stratified fluidized dispersion chamber FS. The dispersed material enters the strong vortex classification zone XL, where the tangentially entering high-speed horizontal airflow forms a rotating flow field. The huge velocity gradient between the high speed of the outer ring and the low speed of the inner ring generates strong horizontal shear force, which performs secondary separation of the particle agglomerates. Coarse particles B are thrown out under the action of centrifugal force, and after impacting the outer ring annular S-shaped blades 414, they fall at a loss and are collected as coarse return material. The finer material enters the forced vortex classification zone WL. In the vortex field formed by the high-speed rotating cage-shaped sorting rotor 426, the particles are subjected to the combined force of centrifugal force and airflow suction force. By precisely adjusting the rotation speed of the sorting rotor 426, the "cutting particle size" is controlled. Particles that do not meet the fineness requirements are thrown out due to the large centrifugal force and collected as fine return material. The qualified ultrafine powder is drawn through the rotor by the airflow and becomes the finished product. The horizontal airflow gradient classification of coarse and fine particles can significantly reduce the finished product content in the recycled material, improve the powder selection efficiency, reduce the recycling load rate, and at the same time help stabilize the material layer, reduce mill vibration, improve grinding efficiency, and reduce system energy consumption.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the mixing and feeding device 100 includes an inverted conical shell 120 and a cylindrical shell 130 fixedly connected to the lower end of the inverted conical shell 120. A feeding pipe 110 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inverted conical shell 120, and the feeding pipe 110 is inclined. The grinding mechanism 200 also includes a driving device 201 for driving the grinding disc assembly 210 to rotate, and a set of grinding rollers 220 located above the grinding disc assembly 210 and cooperating with the top of the grinding disc assembly 210. One end of the grinding roller 220 is fixedly connected to a roller sleeve 221, and the other end of the grinding roller 220 is fixedly connected to a pressurizing device 202. The bottom plate of the outer shell 230 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 231 and an air inlet 232. An air guide ring 233 is fixedly connected inside the outer shell 230. An annular air duct is formed between the upper outer periphery of the grinding disc assembly 210 and the air guide ring 233. The grinding disc assembly 210 includes a disc base 211. The bottom of the disc base 211 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive device 201, and the upper surface of the disc base 211 is fixedly connected to... A set of liner plates 212 are connected, forming a spherical groove grinding track between the liner plates 212. A baffle ring 213 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer edge of the disc base 211. A scraper frame 214 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower surface of the upper part of the disc base 211. A set of scraper plates 215 are fixedly connected to the scraper frame 214. The scraper plates 215 are distributed in the lower outer periphery of the disc base 211, located in the annular space between the grinding disc assembly 210 and the housing. The grinding disc assembly 210 is located at the top center. There is a mixer 216; grinding rollers 220 are distributed at equal angles around the center of the grinding disc assembly 210, and the axial center line of each grinding roller 220 is inclined at an angle less than or equal to 12° with the horizontal plane. Each grinding roller 220 is arranged at equal angles and distances to each other on the horizontal plane. The grinding surface of the roller sleeve 221 is a conical drum-shaped spherical surface, and an annular groove is provided in the middle of the spherical surface. Its outer surface is made of wear-resistant material. The total projected area of the grinding rollers 220 on the grinding disc assembly 210 is 45% to 60% of the grinding track area.
[0056] In this embodiment, the drive device 201 drives the grinding disc assembly 210 to rotate and can be frequency-controlled to provide power to the grinding mechanism 200. The pressurizing device 202 provides controllable hydraulic grinding pressure to the grinding roller 220. The crushed cement raw material enters the mill mixing and feeding device 100 through the feeding pipe 110. The recycled material (including coarse particles A and fine particles B) after grinding, coarse selection and fine selection enters the mill mixing and feeding device 100 through the discharge port 418 at the bottom of the external collection hopper 416 and the internal collection hopper 417. 0. The mixing and feeding device 100 feeds the newly fed material and the recycled material into the center of the grinding disc assembly 210. The surface of the annular groove on the top of the grinding disc assembly 210 is made with wear-resistant material. The material throughput is controlled by adjusting the height between the discharge port of the mixing and feeding device 100 and the grinding disc assembly 210. At the same time, the material level in the mixing and feeding device 100 is controlled to lock the air. With the help of the mixer 216 on the grinding disc, the block material and the recycled material are evenly mixed to form a particle group with a combination of coarse and fine particles, which is continuously and stably fed into the grinding mechanism 200 for crushing.
[0057] Specifically, under the centrifugal force generated by the rotating grinding disc assembly 210, the material moves towards the edge of the grinding disc assembly 210, enters the grinding track, forms a material layer, and drives multiple grinding rollers 220 to rotate. This causes the roller sleeves 221 of the grinding rollers 220 and the grinding disc liner 212 to form a coarse crushing chamber PS and a grinding chamber NM with a reasonable distribution of multi-dimensional force fields. The grinding disc and grinding rollers 220 perform high and low pressure zone crushing of the fed cement raw material particles. The material in the coarse crushing chamber PS experiences low pressure, mainly through impact and extrusion, pre-compressing the material and preparing a smooth and compacted material layer for the grinding chamber NM. The material is subjected to high and concentrated pressure. Under the action of multi-dimensional force fields such as extrusion, shearing, and friction, the granular cement raw materials are extruded and ground into fine powder by utilizing the velocity difference generated when the particle group moves in layers within the material layer. The protruding edges and corners on the fine particles are ground off. There is a structure with an internal air exhaust function between the coarse crushing chamber PS and the grinding chamber NM, forming an annular material dam to prevent large particles from entering the grinding chamber NM and avoid the escape of large particles. The grinding mechanism 200 with coarse crushing and grinding zones is conducive to forming a stable material layer with uniform thickness, reducing vibration, improving grinding efficiency, and optimizing cement particle size distribution and particle morphology.
[0058] Specifically, the ground material continues to move towards the edge of the grinding disc assembly 210 under the action of centrifugal force. There is gas flowing obliquely upward in the discharge annular channel. A small part of the material will be blown back into the grinding disc assembly 210. Among them, the finer particles are carried into the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400 by the airflow. Most of the material enters the shell annular groove downward. Under the centrifugal impact of the rotating scraper 215, the large clumps of material are broken up and discharged from the discharge pipe 231 into the external circulation elevator 300 for lifting and feeding into the feed inlet of the distribution bin 310. Multiple branch pipes of the distribution bin 310 are connected to the feed port 422 at the top of the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400. The number of feed ports 422 is set to 4, 6 or 8. After the material is evenly distributed from the distribution bin 310, it enters the feed port 422 of the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400 and is classified and separated into coarse and fine particles by horizontal airflow gradient classification in the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400.

[0060] In this embodiment, the material entering the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400 from the distribution bin 310 is fully fluidized by the high-speed rotating spreading disc 424, the dynamic fluidization system 425, and the layered impact guiding component 412 before entering the strong cyclone classification zone XL, forming a uniformly thick material curtain. The fluidized mixture (coarse particles A + fine particles B + powdery material C) enters the strong cyclone classification zone XL for pre-classification and dispersion. In this classification zone, the nozzle wind speed V1 (15m / s to 25m / s) at the outer ring annular S-shaped blades 414 and the inner ring plate-shaped combined guide vanes 41 The inlet wind speed V2 at 5a (4m / s to 5m / s) differs significantly, resulting in a large velocity gradient. The high-speed rotating airflow in the annular region causes the coarse particles A in the material to gain significant kinetic energy. They then impact the inner arc surface of the S-shaped guide vane 414b and lose velocity. Under the action of gravity, the coarse particles A are separated. The tangential shear force formed by the velocity gradient peels off the sticky particle clusters layer by layer, thus breaking them up and preparing them for further separation in the forced vortex classification zone WL. The separated coarse particles A are then ground by their own gravity and returned to the grinding mechanism 200 through the external collection hopper 416 for further grinding.
[0061] Specifically, a dynamic fluidization system 425 is provided on one side of the layered impact guiding assembly 412, which includes a high-pressure axial flow fan 425a, a connecting pipe 425b, and a set of air nozzles 425c. The air nozzles 425c are located at the bottom of the air outlet housing 420 and close to the layered impact guiding assembly 412. The air nozzles 425c are aligned with the layered fluidization dispersion chamber FS and are evenly distributed. The primary air inlet 411, the secondary air inlet 432, and the tertiary air inlet 419 constitute the air inlet system of the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400. The low-resistance high-efficiency classifier 400 and the grinding mechanism 200 housing 2 30. Fixed connection. The stratified fluidized dispersion chamber FS is located on the upper layer of the sorting shell 410. The lower layer of the sorting shell 410 is equipped with a classification zone, namely the strong cyclone classification zone XL and the forced vortex classification zone WL. The stratified fluidized dispersion chamber FS is enclosed by the feeding disc 424 and the stratified impact guiding assembly 412. The strong cyclone classification zone XL is annular, enclosed by the outer ring annular S-shaped blades 414 and the inner ring plate-shaped combined guide vanes 415, forming a channel for separating coarse and fine particles and guiding fine particles B. The forced vortex classification zone WL is annular, enclosed by the inner ring plate-shaped combined guide vanes 414 and 415. The separator 15 and the sorting rotor 426 enclose each other, forming a channel for separating small particles from powdery materials C and guiding the refined finished product. The outer ring S-shaped blades 414 are located outside the strong cyclone classification zone XL, and the inner ring plate-shaped combined guide vanes 415 are located inside the strong cyclone classification zone XL. The outer collecting hopper 416 is located at the lower part of the strong cyclone classification zone XL to collect large particles after coarse separation, and the inner collecting hopper 417 is located at the lower part of the forced vortex classification zone WL to collect small particles that fall vertically after separation. The inner collecting hopper 417 is fixedly connected to the outer collecting hopper 416. The hopper 416 is located inside the lower shell 430 and is fixedly connected to the lower air ring 431; the wind speed V in the annular channel between the upper outer periphery of the grinding disc and the air guide ring 233 inside the outer shell 230 is 6 m / s to 8 m / s; the adjustable range of the wind speed V1 at each nozzle in the strong vortex classification zone is 15 m / s to 25 m / s; the inlet wind speed V2 at the inner ring plate-shaped combined air guide blade 415 is 4 m / s to 5 m / s; the design range of the wind speed V3 at each nozzle in the forced vortex classification zone is 9 m / s to 12 m / s; the design range of the diameter-to-height ratio D / H of the sorting rotor 426 is 1.5 to 1.6; the design range of the inlet wind speed V4 between the blades of the sorting rotor 426 is 2.7 m / s to 3.5 m / s; and the adjustable range of the rotational linear velocity V5 of the outer diameter of the sorting rotor 426 is 22 m / s to 27 m / s.
[0062] In this embodiment, fine particulate material B and powdered material C, under the suction force of the wind, continue to enter the forced vortex classification zone WL for further sorting. In this classification zone, the wind speed V3 (9m / s to 12m / s) at each nozzle of the inner ring plate-shaped combined guide vane 415 and the inlet wind speed V4 (2.7m / s to 3.5m / s) between the blades of the sorting rotor 426 differ significantly, resulting in a large velocity gradient. The tangential shear force formed by the velocity gradient further peels off the powdered material C adhering to the surface of the fine particulate material B. In the forced vortex classification zone WL, the classification of fine particulate material B and powdered material C is strictly based on the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the sorting rotor 426 and the suction force of the wind. Larger particles receive greater centrifugal force, and the fine particulate material B that does not meet the fineness requirements is thrown out and enters the rotating airflow in the inner ring plate. The particles stall in the small vortex field generated inside the combined guide vane 415 and enter the mixing and feeding device 100 through the internal collection hopper 417 under their own gravity. The particles with small mass receive less centrifugal force, and the fine powder material C (cement finished product) with qualified fineness enters the dust collector 500 for collection as finished product through the suction force of the airflow by the high-speed rotating sorting rotor 426. By adjusting the angle of the S-shaped guide vane 414b, the speed of the sorting rotor 426 and the air volume of the circulating fan 600, the tangential airflow velocity in the strong swirling classification zone XL and the forced vortex classification zone WL is maximized, and the uniformity of airflow distribution in the strong swirling classification zone XL and the forced vortex classification zone WL is improved. Therefore, the horizontal tangential shear force formed by the wind speed gradient in the two classification zones is enhanced, and the ability to break up particle agglomerates is improved under the condition of high solid-gas ratio. The air passage area of the sorting rotor 426 is increased and the system resistance is reduced.
[0063] Specifically, the vortex grading zone WL is annular, enclosed by an inner ring of plate-shaped combined guide vanes 415 and a sorting rotor 426, forming a channel for separating small particles from powdery materials C and guiding the selected finished product. The fineness of the finished product is adjusted by controlling the rotation speed of the sorting rotor 426 and the powder-selecting air volume. The internal collecting hopper 417 collects the vertically falling small particles after separation. Both the internal collecting hopper 417 and the external collecting hopper 416 have wear-resistant treatment at the material flow points. The number of primary air inlets 411 is set to 4 and 6 respectively. There are one or eight evenly distributed secondary air inlets 432, which are enclosed by the lower shell 430 and the external collection hopper 416 to form a ventilation channel inside the mill. The ventilation volume inside the mill is controlled at about 15% of the system air volume. The discharge port 418 is located at the lower part of the external collection hopper 416 and the internal collection hopper 417 and is connected to the mixing and feeding device 100. The tertiary air inlet 419 is located at the lower part of the external collection hopper 416 and the internal collection hopper 417. Air enters from the feeding pipe 110. There is no need to install an air lock device on the upper part of the feeding pipe 110.

The material flow rate is fast, the grinding pressure is high, the material layer is moderate, the crushing efficiency is high, and the power consumption is low, about 15 to 17 (kWh / t).

System complexity Simple Simple
[0067] Working Principle: For cold grinding of cement raw materials with a comprehensive moisture content of less than 2.5%, the grinding device adopts a grinding mechanism 200 formed by a spherical grooved liner 212 and a conical drum-shaped spherical roller sleeve 221, based on the principle of material layer crushing under the action of a multi-dimensional force field. This optimizes the relative position of the rollers and discs, rationally establishes the energy distribution of material layer crushing, improves grinding efficiency, and reduces circulating load. Based on the density and particle size of the ground material, the sorting device adopts a high solid-to-gas ratio, low-resistance, high-efficiency air classifier 400 with top feeding, layered fluidized feeding, tangential horizontal air intake, and multi-stage gradient classification of coarse and fine particles. It utilizes the multi-force field action of swirling current, eddy current, centrifugal force, suction force, and gravity to repeatedly impact, fluidize, disperse, shear, peel, and sort multi-scale particles. The required head and air volume of the circulating fan 600 for air classification are... Significantly reducing and effectively lowering the resistance of the classifier, significantly improving sorting efficiency, and reducing the circulating load, the lifting device replaces the internal pneumatic conveying with an external mechanical lifting method, based on the fact that the energy consumption of pneumatic material lifting is much greater than that of mechanical material lifting. This significantly reduces the pressure head and air volume of the system's circulating fan 600, while avoiding the high-speed airflow carrying material to scour the surfaces of various parts inside the mill, reducing wear, and extending the service life of the grinding media and other components. The grinding and classifying functions of the traditional internal circulation cement vertical mill are separated, and the production equipment is made intelligent by using methods such as mixing and feeding, coarse crushing and grinding, dispersing and lifting, and pre-selection and fine selection, thus achieving the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

9. The method of using the low-energy external circulation cement vertical roller mill according to any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that, The steps are as follows: S1. Mixing and feeding: The newly fed cement raw materials and the recycled material from the low-resistance high-efficiency separator are mixed in the mixing and feeding device and then fed into the center of the grinding disc assembly of the grinding mechanism. S2. Coarse crushing and grinding: By starting the drive device and pressurizing device of the grinding mechanism, the grinding disc assembly is rotated and pressure is applied to the grinding roller. Under the centrifugal force of the grinding disc assembly, the material enters the grinding track to form a material layer, so that a coarse crushing chamber and a grinding chamber with a reasonable distribution of multi-dimensional force field are formed between the grinding roller sleeve and the grinding disc assembly liner. Under the crushing of the grinding roller, the material is crushed in sequence through the coarse crushing chamber and the grinding chamber. S3. Dispersion and Lifting: Most of the ground material is dispersed by the rotating scraper and discharged. It is then mechanically lifted by the external circulation elevator, and after being evenly distributed in the distribution bin, it is fed into the low-resistance high-efficiency classifier. S4. Pre-selection and fine selection: The material entering the low-resistance high-efficiency air classifier is fluidized and initially dispersed in the stratified fluidized dispersion chamber, and then enters the strong vortex classification zone. Coarse particles are separated under the action of centrifugal force and velocity gradient shear and fall into the external collection hopper. Fine particles and powdery materials enter the forced vortex classification zone, where they are separated under the combined action of centrifugal force generated by the sorting rotor and airflow suction. Powdery materials with qualified fineness are discharged from the air outlet with the airflow and collected by the dust collector. Fine particles with unqualified fineness are separated and fall into the internal collection hopper. Coarse particles and fine particles are returned to the mixing and feeding device as recycled materials and re-enter the grinding mechanism for a new round of grinding.
