[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides an implementation manner of a grinding medium lifting and adding device, including a cylinder body 1, a blocking member 2, a pull rod 3 and a bushing 4.
[0030] Among them, both ends of the cylinder body 1 are open structures; one end is the feed port 11 for grinding media, and the other end is the discharge port 12 for grinding media, which is used to hold the grinding media.
[0031] In this embodiment, the shape of the cylinder body 1 is not limited. A cylindrical cylinder body 1 is preferred, and steel balls are preferably used as the grinding media.
[0032] The blocking member 2 is located outside the cylinder body 1. Under the action of an external force, the blocking member 2 can move towards the discharge port 12, so that the blocking member 2 can fit with the discharge port 12 of the cylinder body 1, covering the entire discharge port 12, to restrict the steel balls from leaving the cylinder body 1 from the discharge port 12.
[0033] Moreover, the blocking member 2 can move away from the discharge port 12 under the action of the steel balls inside the cylinder body 1, so that the blocking member 2 can be separated from the discharge port 12, to relieve the restriction imposed on the steel balls, and realize the unloading of the steel balls in the cylinder body 1.
[0034] The pull rod 3 is vertically arranged at the central position of the blocking member 2. The pull rod 3 passes through the cylinder body 1 through the feed port 11 and the discharge port 12, and the end of the pull rod 3 is located outside the cylinder body 1; a lifting ring 31 is provided at the end of the pull rod 3 for lifting the cylinder body 1.
[0035] Moreover, during the lifting process, the lifting equipment can continuously apply an upward pulling force to the blocking member 2 through the pull rod 3, and the cylinder body 1 moves downward under the action of the steel balls inside, so that the blocking member 2 can always be in a state of fitting with the discharge port 12 of the cylinder body 1, ensuring the sealing performance at the bottom of the cylinder body 1, to avoid the steel balls inside the cylinder body 1 falling from the discharge port 12 during the lifting process.
[0036] The bushing 4 is arranged inside the cylinder body 1, and the bushing 4 and the cylinder body 1 are coaxially arranged. The outer side wall of the bushing 4 is connected to the inner side wall of the cylinder body 1 through a connecting rod 41 to fix the bushing 4, and the pull rod 3 passes through the bushing 4 to restrict the pull rod 3.
[0037] Since a plurality of steel balls are contained inside the cylinder body 1, once the steel balls move inside the cylinder body 1 during the lifting process, the pull rod 3 will shift inside the cylinder body 1, and there will be a gap between the edge position of the blocking member 2 and the discharge port 12 of the cylinder body 1, resulting in the situation that the steel balls fall from the gap, posing a major safety hazard; the pull rod 3 is restricted by the bushing 4 to prevent the pull rod 3 from shifting inside the cylinder body 1 and eliminate the above-mentioned safety hazard.
[0038] This embodiment provides an example of the cylinder body, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown:
[0039] The portion of the barrel 1 close to the discharge port 12 is a conical barrel 13, in which the end with a large opening in the structure of the conical barrel 13 faces the feed port 11, and the end with a small opening in the conical barrel 13 serves as the discharge port 12; wherein, the diameter of the end with a large opening of the conical barrel 13 is consistent with the barrel diameter of the barrel 1, and is larger than the diameter of the steel ball inlet of the ball mill; the diameter of the end with a small opening of the conical barrel 13 is equivalent to the diameter of the steel ball inlet of the ball mill; so that the discharge port 12 of the barrel 1 can enter the interior of the steel ball inlet of the ball mill, and the conical barrel 13 portion of the barrel 1 can be stuck at the steel ball inlet of the ball mill, so as to achieve relative fixation of the two, and prevent the steel balls from falling to the outside of the ball mill during the unloading process.
[0040] In this state, the hook of the lifting equipment moves downward, so that the blocking member 2 can be separated from the discharge port 12 of the cylinder 1 under the action of the gravity of the steel balls inside the cylinder 1, so that the steel balls in the cylinder 1 enter the ball mill.
[0041] Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the docking between the cylinder 1 and the steel ball inlet of the ball mill, it is necessary to avoid the cylinder 1 tilting when docking with the steel ball inlet of the ball mill, which may eventually cause the cylinder 1 to topple over and cause the steel balls in the cylinder 1 to fall, posing a safety hazard.
[0042] Therefore, in this embodiment, a second support plate 14 is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 1 along a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder 1. During the docking process between the cylinder 1 and the ball inlet of the ball mill, the second support plate 14 contacts the ball inlet of the ball mill to prevent the cylinder 1 from tilting.
[0043] A second reinforcing rib 15 is provided between the side surface of the second support plate 14 facing the feed port and the outer side wall of the cylinder 1 to improve the rigidity of the connection between the second support plate 14 and the cylinder 1 .
[0044] In this embodiment, if the blocking member 2 is a planar structure, the steel balls inside the cylinder 1 will be squeezed against each other, resulting in a stuck situation, so that even if the blocking member 2 at the bottom of the cylinder 1 is opened, the steel balls in the cylinder 1 cannot fall out; therefore, this embodiment also provides an embodiment of the blocking member 2, as shown in the figure:
[0045] The blocking member 2 is a conical cavity to ensure that when the blocking member 2 moves downward, there is excess space inside the cylinder 1, so that the steel balls in the cylinder 1 do not get stuck with each other; and the bottom diameter of the blocking member 2 is larger than the diameter of the discharge port 12, and is used to get stuck in the discharge port 12 of the cylinder 1 to achieve complete coverage of the discharge port 12.
[0046] Further, since the cylindrical body 1 is vertically placed on the ground when containing steel balls, the bottom of the blocking member 2 directly contacts the ground. To improve the stability of the entire cylindrical body 1 and prevent the cylindrical body 1 from tipping over; in this embodiment, at the edge position of the bottom of the blocking member 2, a first support plate 21 extends outward perpendicular to the plane where the pull rod 3 is located, expanding the contact area between the bottom of the blocking member 2 and the ground, so as to improve the stability of the entire cylindrical body 1 under the load state.
[0047] At the same time, since the blocking member 2 needs to enter the ball inlet of the ball mill, the size of the first support plate 21 needs to ensure that it can enter the ball inlet of the ball mill.
[0048] Since the cylindrical body 1 contains multiple steel balls, during the unloading process, the steel balls fall unevenly and will impact the outer side wall of the blocking member 2 with a conical cavity structure from multiple angles, resulting in uneven force on the outer side wall of the blocking member 2. If the pull rod 3 is directly connected to the top of the blocking member 2 with a conical cavity structure, the connection part will break, and the side wall of the blocking member 2 will also be dented under the impact of the steel balls.
[0049] In view of the above situation, in this embodiment, one end of the pull rod 3 connected to the blocking member 2 extends into the interior of the blocking member 2, and a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 22 are equidistantly arranged between the outer side wall of the part of the pull rod 3 located inside the blocking member 2 and the inner side wall of the blocking member 2; making the connection between the pull rod 3 and the blocking member 2 more firm, and at the same time avoiding deformation of the side wall of the blocking member 2.
[0050] Further, in this embodiment, a baffle 5 is provided on the end face of the bushing 4 facing the feed port 11. A through hole 52 is provided on the baffle 5, and the pull rod 3 passes through the through hole 52. The through hole 52 and the pull rod 3 are in clearance fit to block the gap between the pull rod 3 and the bushing 4; to prevent waste chips or other small debris on the grinding medium from falling into the gap, so as to avoid affecting the movement of the pull rod 3 relative to the bushing 4.
[0051] Further, a baffle 5 is also provided on the end face of the bushing 4 facing the discharge port 12, so that the pull rod 3 always maintains the same axis position as the bushing 4, so as to avoid the pull rod 3 from shifting in the vertical direction, resulting in the bottom of the bushing 4 being stuck with the pull rod 3 that is offset from the axis position of the bushing 4, causing the pull rod 3 to be unable to move and affecting the unloading.
[0052] Further, as Figure 3 shown, at least two groups of rollers 51 are respectively provided on the outer side faces of the two baffles 5. The rollers 51 are in rolling contact with the outer side wall of the pull rod 3, and the rollers 51 provided on the same baffle 5 are centrosymmetrically distributed with the axis of the pull rod 3 as the center, so as to convert the sliding friction between the pull rod 3 and the bushing 4 into the rolling friction between the pull rod 3 and the rollers 51, so as to reduce the friction force exerted on the pull rod 3 by the external structure during the movement of the pull rod 3.
[0053] In order to prevent the steel balls from hitting the rollers when loading the steel balls, a housing 53 covering the roller 51 is provided on the baffle 5, and the pull rod 3 passes through the housing 53 without contacting the housing 53.
[0054] Meanwhile, since a plurality of steel balls are loaded in the cylinder body 1, during the unloading process, the steel balls fall unevenly, which will cause extrusion on the bushing 4 in different directions.
[0055] Therefore, in this embodiment, at least two connecting rods 41 are respectively provided on the outer side wall of the bushing 4 at both ends. Among them, the connecting rods 41 located at the same end of the bushing 4 are symmetrically distributed with the axis of the bushing 4 as the center; and all the connecting rods 41 can be radially distributed at equal intervals with the axis of the bushing 4 as the center on the projection plane projected along the bushing 4, so as to ensure the stability of the bushing 4 inside the cylinder body 1.
[0056] Furthermore, considering that setting too many connecting rods 41 will hinder the falling of the steel balls, preferably, two connecting rods 41 are respectively arranged at both ends of the shaft end, and the two connecting rods 41 at each end are arranged in a straight line; and the four connecting rods 41 at the two ends are in a cross shape on the projection plane projected along the bushing 4.
[0057] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
