Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mineral processing equipment technology, and specifically to an ultrasonic synchronous control flotation device based on ultrasonic standing waves. Background Technology

[0002] Flotation, as a core separation technology in mineral processing, is a crucial step in achieving efficient utilization of mineral resources. This technology leverages the differences in the physicochemical properties (especially wettability) of mineral particle surfaces. By adding flotation reagents and introducing air bubbles, valuable minerals selectively adhere to the surface of the air bubbles and float to the surface of the slurry, thus achieving separation from gangue minerals. However, traditional flotation technologies suffer from limitations such as low separation efficiency for fine and very fine-grained minerals, high reagent consumption, poor selectivity for complex minerals, and high energy consumption.

[0003] Ultrasonic simultaneous flotation is a separation method that combines ultrasonic technology with traditional flotation processes. It enhances the dispersibility of mineral particles and the dissolution and diffusion efficiency of flotation reagents through the cavitation effect of ultrasound, thereby improving mineral separation. Its technical principle is as follows: high-frequency vibration generates cavitation in the slurry. The resulting cavitation bubbles collapse, forming microjets that impact mineral particles, breaking up particle agglomerates and promoting reagent penetration. Simultaneously with the ultrasonic action, mechanical stirring and interfacial disturbance accelerate the separation of valuable minerals from gangue minerals, making it particularly suitable for separating fine-grained or difficult-to-float minerals. Ultrasonic simultaneous flotation not only enhances mineral surface activity and shortens the flotation cycle through cavitation, but also reduces energy consumption and reagent consumption.

[0004] In traditional ultrasonic flotation cells, the ultrasonic transducers are assembled to the side of the cell body using bolts and nuts. This not only makes the operation of disassembling and assembling the transducers cumbersome, but also makes it impossible to move the position of the ultrasonic transducers after installation. Furthermore, during synchronous flotation, leakage is prone to occur through the installation gaps of the bolts and nuts. In addition, long-term contact with the slurry liquid environment will cause the bolts and nuts to wear and corrode, thus affecting the accuracy of the experimental results. Summary of the Invention

[0007] After the ultrasonic transducer is installed on the flotation cell, the position of the ultrasonic transducer can be moved again through the cooperation of the track assembly and the sliding assembly. The ultrasonic transducer is easy and quick to install, remove and move.

[0008] Furthermore, the track assembly includes a track plate disposed on the side wall of the flotation cell, with inverted L-shaped blocks symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the track plate; a sliding groove is provided through the inverted L-shaped blocks.

[0013] Furthermore, a positioning post is provided on the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the inner cylinder, and a positioning groove that matches the limiting post is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder.

Detailed Implementation The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.

[0024] Example 1 refer to Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides an ultrasonic synchronous control flotation device based on ultrasonic standing waves, which aims to solve the problem that the ultrasonic transducer of the ultrasonic flotation cell cannot be moved after installation. The specific structure of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0025] An ultrasonic synchronous control flotation device based on ultrasonic standing waves includes a flotation tank 1 and an ultrasonic transducer 2. Specifically, a track assembly 3 is provided on the side wall of the flotation tank 1, and a sliding assembly 4 is provided at the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 2; the sliding assembly 4 is embedded in the track assembly 3, so that the ultrasonic transducer 2 moves up and down along the track assembly 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, after the ultrasonic transducer 2 is installed on the flotation tank 1, the position of the ultrasonic transducer 2 can be moved again through the cooperation of the track assembly 3 and the sliding assembly 4, and the ultrasonic transducer 2 is easy and quick to install, remove and move.

[0027] Specifically, the track assembly 3 includes a track plate 31 disposed on the side wall of the flotation tank 1, and inverted L-shaped blocks 32 are symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of the track plate 31; a sliding groove 33 is disposed through the inverted L-shaped blocks 32.

[0028] In this embodiment, the track plate 31 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the flotation tank 1. Inverted L-shaped blocks 32 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the track plate 31, so that a sliding space is formed between the track plate 31 and the two inverted L-shaped blocks 32, allowing the sliding component 4 at the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 2 to move and be fixed within it.

[0029] Specifically, the inner wall of the sliding groove 33 is wavy, forming a wave track 34 within the sliding groove 33.

[0030] In this embodiment, a wave track 34 is provided in the sliding groove 33 to facilitate the movement and fixation of the sliding component 4 at the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 2.

[0031] Optionally, an opening is made at the lowest point of the sliding groove 33 to facilitate the entry of the sliding component 4. After the sliding component 4 enters, the two side plates of the sliding groove 33 are connected by a connecting plate. The connection method can be bolt connection, by opening through holes in the connecting plate and threaded holes in the two side plates of the sliding groove 33, and bolts are connected by passing through the through holes and threaded holes.

[0032] Specifically, the sliding component 4 includes a fixing ring 401 disposed at the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 2, and two sliding plates 402 disposed opposite to each other on the fixing ring 401; each of the two sliding plates 402 is provided with a locking component.

[0033] Specifically, the engaging component includes an engaging inner cylinder 403 disposed on the slide plate 402, an engaging outer cylinder 404 slidably sleeved on the engaging inner cylinder 403, and a pressing component disposed between the engaging inner cylinder 403 and the engaging outer cylinder 404.

[0034] In this embodiment, a fixing ring 401 is fixedly arranged on the outer circumferential direction of the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer 2. Two sliding plates 402 are arranged opposite to each other on the fixing ring 401. The two sliding plates 402 are used to slide in the sliding space formed by the track plate 31 and the inverted L-shaped stop 32. The ultrasonic transducer 2 is moved and fixed by the engaging components on the sliding plates 402 passing through the wave track 34 in the sliding groove 33.

[0035] Optionally, the outer diameter of the inner cylinder 403 is smaller than the narrowest point of the wave track 34, and the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 404 is equal to the widest point of the wave track 34.

[0036] Specifically, a locking block 405 is provided on the outer wall of the top of the locking inner cylinder 403 in the circumferential direction, and a locking groove 406 that cooperates with the locking block 405 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the locking outer cylinder 404 in the circumferential direction.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cooperation of the locking block 405 and the locking groove 406 prevents the locking outer cylinder 404 from falling off the locking inner cylinder 403.

[0038] Specifically, the pressing assembly includes a pressing spring 409 disposed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the locking inner cylinder 403. The top of the pressing spring 409 is connected to a sliding post 410 embedded in the inner cavity of the locking inner cylinder 403. A top plate 411 is disposed on the top of the sliding post 410.

[0039] In this embodiment, when fixing the position of the ultrasonic transducer 2, the top plate 411 adheres to the top wall of the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 404, thereby pressing the outer cylinder 404 and compressing the pressing spring 409, causing the outer cylinder 404 to move downward along the inner cylinder 403, and then causing the outer cylinder 404 to fall into the wave track 34, forming an engagement structure, preventing the engagement assembly from moving in the sliding groove 33, thereby fixing the slide plate 402 and determining the position of the ultrasonic transducer 2 relative to the flotation tank 1.

[0040] When the position of the ultrasonic transducer 2 is moved, the pressing spring 409 is released. Under the elastic potential energy of the pressing spring 409, the sliding column 410 and the top plate 411 are pushed upward, which in turn pushes the locking outer cylinder 404 to move upward along the locking inner cylinder 403 until the locking outer cylinder 404 is disengaged from the wave track 34. Then, the locking inner cylinder 403 moves in the sliding groove 33, which drives the fixed slide plate 402 to move, and finally drives the ultrasonic transducer 2 to move.

[0041] Optionally, the diameter of the top plate 411 is larger than the inner cavity diameter of the engaging inner cylinder 403.

[0042] Specifically, a positioning post 407 is provided on the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 403, and a positioning groove 408 that matches the positioning post 407 is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 404.

[0043] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 408 is an inverted L-shape, including a vertical groove and two horizontal grooves at the top and bottom of the vertical groove. The positioning post 407 passes through the vertical groove of the positioning groove 408, and rotates to engage the outer cylinder 404 when it is at its highest and lowest positions, so that the positioning post 407 enters the horizontal groove to achieve a pressure stabilizing effect.

[0044] Specifically, two limiting posts 412 are arranged opposite each other on the side wall of the sliding post 410, and the inner cavity of the engaging inner cylinder 403 is provided with a limiting groove 413 that matches the limiting posts 412, so that the limiting posts 412 fall into the limiting groove 413.

[0045] In this embodiment, the limiting post 412 falls into the limiting groove 413 to limit the movement of the sliding post 410 within the inner cavity of the inner cylinder 403. At the same time, it prevents the pressing spring 409 from being driven when the outer cylinder 404 is rotated to engage.

[0046] Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, this should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this patent. Various modifications and variations that can be made by a person skilled in the art without inventive effort within the scope described in the claims still fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
