[0021] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a ball adding mechanism for a vertical mill, including a vertical mill body 1. A storage bucket 2 is provided directly above the grinding chamber of the vertical mill body 1. The storage bucket 2 is fixedly connected to the vertical mill body 1. A disc 3 is rotatably connected to the storage bucket 2 through a connection component. A cavity for loading materials is formed between the storage bucket 2 and the disc 3. The disc 3 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft of the vertical mill body 1. A discharge pipe 6 is rotatably arranged through the disc 3. The discharge pipe 6 is located above the grinding chamber of the vertical mill body 1. When the rotating shaft on the vertical mill body 1 rotates, it can drive the discharge pipe 6 to revolve around the rotating shaft on the vertical mill body 1 through the disc 3.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 shown. During the use process, the pulp enters the vertical mill after being screened and processed by a hydrocyclone. The rotating shaft of the vertical mill body 1 drives the grinding disc to rotate to grind the pulp. The ground pulp then flows into the discharge chute from the discharge port of the vertical mill body. When it is necessary to add grinding balls to the grinding chamber of the vertical mill body, the staff adds the grinding balls into the storage bucket 2 through the feed funnel. The grinding balls entering the storage bucket 2 are discharged from the discharge pipe 6. The rotating shaft of the vertical mill body drives the disc 3 to rotate, and the disc 3 drives the discharge pipe 6 to rotate, so that the position where the grinding balls discharged from the discharge pipe 6 fall into the grinding chamber of the vertical mill body 1 changes constantly, reducing the occurrence of grinding ball accumulation and facilitating the grinding of the pulp.

[0023] The cross-sectional shape of the discharge pipe 6 is J-shaped, and the inner bottom surface of the horizontal pipe of the discharge pipe 6 is inclined downward along the output end direction of the discharge pipe 6.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, during use, the grinding balls are discharged along the discharge pipe 6. The inner bottom surface of the horizontal pipe of the discharge pipe 6 is inclined downward along the output end direction of the discharge pipe 6, facilitating the discharge of the grinding balls entering the discharge pipe 6 along the inner bottom surface of the horizontal pipe of the discharge pipe 6.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, for the connection component embodiment, the connection component includes a dovetail groove 5 and a plurality of dovetail blocks 4. The dovetail blocks 4 are slidably arranged in the dovetail groove 5. The dovetail blocks 4 are arranged around the disk 3 and fixedly connected to its outer arc surface. The dovetail groove 5 is annularly formed on the inner wall of the storage barrel 2.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, during use, the rotating shaft of the vertical mill body drives the disk 3 to rotate. The disk 3 drives the dovetail blocks 4 to slide in the dovetail groove 5. The combination of the dovetail blocks 4 and the dovetail groove 5 ensures the stability of the connection between the storage barrel 2 and the disk 3, facilitating the stable rotation of the disk 3 in the storage barrel 2.

[0027] The top surface of the disk 3 is an inclined surface and is inclined downward along the direction close to the input end of the discharge pipe 6.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, during use, the grinding balls entering the storage barrel 2 fall onto the top surface of the disk 3 and are discharged into the discharge pipe 6 along the inclined surface of the top surface of the disk 3, reducing the accumulation of grinding balls in the storage barrel 2.

[0029] A limit ring 7 is fixedly sleeved on the discharge pipe 6. The limit ring 7 is arranged directly below the disk 3 and is in contact with its surface.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, during use, the setting of the limit ring 7 effectively prevents the discharge pipe 6 from moving upward, ensuring the normal rotation of the discharge pipe 6.

[0031] An external gear ring 9 is fixedly sleeved on the vertical pipe of the discharge pipe 6. An internal gear ring 8 is meshed and sleeved on the external gear ring 9. The top surface of the internal gear ring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the storage barrel 2.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1As shown, during the use process, the disc 3 drives the discharge pipe 6 to revolve around the rotation axis of the vertical mill body 1. The discharge pipe 6 drives the outer tooth ring 9 to rotate on the inner tooth ring 8. The inner tooth ring 8 drives the outer tooth ring 9 to rotate self - rotatively. The outer tooth ring 9 drives the discharge pipe 6 to rotate self - rotatively, causing the output end of the discharge pipe 6 to rotate self - rotatively. As a result, the position where the grinding balls discharged from the discharge pipe 6 fall into the grinding chamber of the vertical mill body 1 changes constantly. The self - rotating discharge pipe 6 will discharge the grinding balls onto the grinding disc in the vertical mill body 1. The rotating grinding disc throws the grinding balls falling on the top surface of the grinding disc into the grinding chamber of the vertical mill body 1, reducing the occurrence of grinding ball accumulation phenomenon.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
