Specific implementation manners

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying 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 of 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 shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] This embodiment provides an automatic grinding medium adding device for a grinding mill, specifically as Figures 1-6 shown, including a plurality of ball storage components 1 for storing grinding balls of different sizes and a lifting component 2 for lifting the grinding balls.

[0028] The ball storage component 1 includes a ball storage barrel 101, a ball dividing frame 104 is rotatably connected to the ball storage barrel 101, the ball dividing frame 104 is in transmission connection with a stepping motor 102 installed on the ball storage barrel 101, the outer wall of the ball dividing frame 104 is attached to the inner wall of the ball storage barrel 101, a plurality of ball storage grooves are provided on the ball dividing frame 104, and limiting strips 107 are provided on the ball storage grooves; a plurality of cleaning brushes 110 are rotatably connected to the ball dividing frame 104, a movable gear 109 is fixedly installed on the cleaning brush 110, a fixed gear 108 is fixedly installed on the ball storage barrel 101, and the fixed gear 108 is engaged with the movable gear 109; a filter plate 106 is fixedly installed on the ball storage barrel 101, a ball outlet hole is opened on the side wall of the ball storage barrel 101, and a ball blocking plate 105 is provided at a position corresponding to the ball outlet hole.

[0029] Add grinding balls of multiple different specifications into different ball storage barrels 101 respectively. After that, some grinding balls fall into the ball storage grooves. When a certain amount of grinding balls need to be discharged, drive the stepping motor 102 to rotate. At this time, the ball distribution rack 104 will start to rotate self - clockwise, and at the same time drive multiple cleaning brushes 110 to rotate around the center. Since the movable gear 109 meshes with the fixed gear 108, the movable gear 109 starts to drive the cleaning brush 110 to rotate self - clockwise. The grinding balls in the ball storage grooves are restricted by the inner wall of the ball storage barrel 101, the limiting strips 107, and the cleaning brushes 110 and cannot move horizontally. Therefore, when the cleaning brush 110 rotates self - clockwise, the cleaning brush 110 starts to clean the grinding balls. At the same time, the force exerted by the cleaning brush 110 on the grinding balls causes the grinding balls to rotate self - clockwise in the horizontal direction. The impurities cleaned from the surface of the grinding balls fall to the bottom of the ball storage barrel 101 through the through - holes on the filter plate 106. When the grinding balls follow the ball distribution rack 104 and rotate to the ball outlet, due to the loss of the restriction of the inner wall of the ball storage barrel 101, under the action of centrifugal force, the cleaned grinding balls are discharged from the ball storage barrel 101.

[0030] Through the above settings, the rotation angle of the stepping motor 102 can be controlled, thereby controlling the amount of balls discharged. After the grinding balls are discharged, the remaining grinding balls contained in the ball storage barrel 101 will automatically fill the position and fall into the ball storage grooves; at the same time, the cleaning brush 110 is used to clean the grinding balls to ensure that the surface of the grinding balls is clean.

[0031] Embodiment 2:

[0032] This embodiment is further extended on the basis of Embodiment 1, specifically as Figure 6 shown, a slag discharge valve 111 is provided on the side wall of the ball storage barrel 101.

[0033] After using for a period of time, opening the slag discharge valve 111 can facilitate the cleaning of the impurities accumulated at the bottom of the ball storage barrel 101.

[0034] As Figure 6 shown, the surface of the filter plate 106 in contact with the grinding balls is inclined.

[0035] Through the inclined setting of the surface of the filter plate 106, when the grinding balls are discharged, they are not only affected by the centrifugal force but also by the gravity, which can accelerate the discharge speed of the grinding balls.

[0036] An anti - slip pad is coated on the filter plate 106, and the anti - slip pad is made of any one of rubber, plastic, and silica gel.

[0037] By setting the anti - slip pad, when the ball distribution rack 104 rotates self - clockwise, it will rotate self - clockwise in the vertical direction due to the friction with the anti - slip pad, cooperating with the self - rotation in the horizontal direction, thereby further strengthening the cleaning range of the cleaning brush 110 and improving the cleaning effect.

[0038] As Figure 2As shown, a conical plate 103 is installed on the ball distributing rack 104.

[0039] By providing the conical plate 103, the grinding balls in the ball storage barrel 101 can be scattered into the surrounding ball storage grooves under the action of gravity, preventing individual grinding balls from being unable to be discharged.

[0040] Embodiment 3:

[0041] This embodiment is further extended on the basis of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2. Specifically, Figures 7-8 the lifting assembly 2 includes a grinding ball slideway 201 which is inclined. The grinding ball slideway 201 is connected to the ball outlet holes on a plurality of ball storage barrels 101, and a limiting claw plate 202 is arranged on the grinding ball slideway 201; the lifting assembly 2 further includes a bracket 209, on which a slide rail 205, a servo motor 206 and a sprocket 210 are arranged. The sprocket 210 is rotatably connected to the bracket 209, the servo motor 206 is drivingly connected to one sprocket 210, a chain 207 is sleeved on the two sprockets 210, a sliding frame 204 is slidably connected to the slide rail 205, a transport claw plate 203 is slidably connected to the sliding frame 204, the transport claw plate 203 is rotatably connected to the chain 207, and the transport claw plate 203 cooperates with the limiting claw plate 202; an adding slideway 208 is installed on the servo motor 206, and a limiting claw plate 202 is arranged on the adding slideway 208.

[0042] After the grinding balls are discharged from the ball outlet holes on the ball storage barrel 101 onto the grinding ball slideway 201, due to the inclined arrangement of the grinding ball slideway 201, the grinding balls finally gather at the limiting claw plate 202; start the servo motor 206, at this time the sprocket 210 and the chain 207 start to operate, the chain 207 drives the transport claw plate 203 and the sliding frame 204 to move upward. The transport claw plate 203 picks up the grinding balls from below the limiting claw plate 202 on the grinding ball slideway 201 and then moves upward. When approaching the top, the chain 207 drives the transport claw plate 203 to slide horizontally along the sliding frame 204. Then the transport claw plate 203 and the sliding frame 204 start to move downward. At this time, the transport claw plate 203 places the grinding balls on the adding slideway 208 from above the limiting claw plate 202 on the adding slideway 208. Subsequently, the grinding balls roll to the grinding ball adding position on the grinding mill through the adding slideway 208, while the transport claw plate 203 and the sliding frame 204 continue to move downward. When approaching the bottom, the chain 207 drives the transport claw plate 203 to slide horizontally in the reverse direction along the sliding frame 204. Then the transport claw plate 203 and the sliding frame 204 start to move upward and continue to pick up the grinding balls, and so on in a cycle.

[0043] By setting up a lifting component, the discharged grinding balls can be lifted and transported in sequence, and then the addition operation can be carried out, without manual handling, reducing the labor intensity of personnel; during the lifting process, due to the limitation of the transportation claw plate, the grinding balls can be effectively prevented from slipping.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
