Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grinding, in particular to a sand grinder. Background Art

[0002] As a type of grinding equipment developed from a ball mill, the sand mill boasts finer grinding particle sizes and better grinding quality. It disperses, crushes, grinds, homogenizes, and deagglomerates materials flowing through the cavity through the shear and collision forces between the friction media (zirconium beads or glass beads) within the cavity, making it one of the most applicable, advanced, and efficient grinding equipment for materials with the widest range of particle sizes. Current sand mills generally achieve a higher degree of mixing by increasing the stirring speed. However, as the speed increases, the material and friction media will move in a high-speed circular motion around the cylinder along with the stirring shaft, forming a laminar flow. This, in turn, reduces the shear force acting on the friction media during movement, resulting in reduced grinding efficiency and a poorer grinding effect.

[0030] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0031] First embodiment

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a sand mill 100 for grinding materials. The sand mill 100 can avoid the occurrence of laminar flow, increase the shear force of the friction medium during movement, ensure grinding efficiency, and enhance the grinding effect.

[0033] The sand mill 100 includes a barrel 110, a baffle 120, a drive motor (not shown), a main shaft 130, and an agitator shaft 140. The drive motor is connected to the main shaft 130, which is rotatably mounted within the barrel 110 and coaxially disposed with the barrel 110. The drive motor is used to drive the main shaft 130 to rotate relative to the barrel 110. The agitator shaft 140 is connected to the main shaft 130 and extends radially therefrom. The main shaft 130, via the agitator shaft 140, is used to drive the friction medium and the material to move within the barrel 110. During this process, the shear and collision forces between the friction medium achieve the grinding function of the material. Specifically, the baffle 120 is connected to the cylinder 110 and is spaced apart from the stirring shaft 140 to avoid interfering with the rotation of the stirring shaft 140. The baffle 120 can block the friction medium and the material to prevent the friction medium and the material from forming laminar flow as the stirring shaft 140 makes high-speed circular motion around the cylinder 110, thereby increasing the turbulence of the friction medium and the material during the circular motion, thereby increasing the shear force between the friction media while ensuring the mixing degree, ensuring the grinding efficiency, and enhancing the grinding effect.

[0034] Furthermore, the difference between the minimum distance between the baffle 120 and the agitator shaft 140 and the diameter of the friction medium is 1 mm to 2 mm. The minimum distance between the baffle 120 and the agitator shaft 140 is the distance between the baffle 120 and the agitator shaft 140 when the agitator shaft 140 rotates to a position corresponding to the baffle 120. If the difference between the minimum distance between the baffle 120 and the agitator shaft 140 and the diameter of the friction medium is too large, it will cause excessive flow resistance within the cylinder 110, increasing the equipment load. If the difference between the minimum distance between the baffle 120 and the agitator shaft 140 and the diameter of the friction medium is too small, the friction medium may become stuck between the baffle 120 and the agitator shaft 140, causing equipment failure. For ease of understanding, the minimum distance between the baffle 120 and the agitator shaft 140 is denoted as a.

[0035] In this embodiment, the friction medium is zirconium beads, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the friction medium may also be glass beads. The type of friction medium is not specifically limited.

[0036] It is worth noting that there are multiple stirring shafts 140, and the multiple stirring shafts 140 are divided into multiple groups. The multiple groups of stirring shafts 140 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the axial direction of the main shaft 130, and a material transfer space is formed between two adjacent groups of stirring shafts 140. The multiple stirring shafts 140 in each group are arranged in a circular array on the circumference of the main shaft 130. The multiple groups of stirring shafts 140 work together to simultaneously drive the friction medium and the material to move in the cylinder 110, thereby improving the stirring efficiency and thus improving the grinding efficiency.

[0037] In this embodiment, the baffle 120 is arranged in a rectangular shape, the length direction of the baffle 120 is the axial direction of the cylinder 110, and the width direction of the baffle 120 is the radial direction of the cylinder 110. The position of the baffle 120 corresponds to the position of the multiple groups of stirring shafts 140. The baffle 120 can simultaneously block the friction medium and material driven by the multiple groups of stirring shafts 140 to prevent them from making high-speed circular motion around the cylinder 110 and forming laminar flow. The baffle has a good baffle effect, ensures the stable formation of turbulence, increases the shear force of the friction medium during movement, ensures grinding efficiency, and enhances the grinding effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, the baffle 120 is welded to the cylinder 110, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the baffle 120 may be snap-fitted to the cylinder 110 or connected to the cylinder 110 by mortise and tenon joints. The connection method between the baffle 120 and the cylinder 110 is not specifically limited.

[0039] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the cylinder 110 is horizontal, that is, the sand mill 100 is a horizontal sand mill. At this time, the baffle 120 is arranged at the top of the cylinder 110. Due to the gravity of the object, the friction medium and material blocked by the baffle 120 will fall downward to avoid forming a stirring dead angle. Similarly, if the baffle 120 is set at the bottom of the cylinder 110, a stirring dead angle will be formed, and the friction medium and material blocked by the baffle 120 will not easily flow out, resulting in insufficient mixing.

[0040] In this embodiment, there is one baffle 120, which is located in the center of the top of the cylinder 110. However, this is not limiting. In other embodiments, there may be three baffles 120, each of which is spaced apart and serves to block the friction medium and material, further preventing laminar flow, improving the blocking effect, increasing turbulence, and enhancing grinding efficiency.

[0041] In another embodiment, the axial direction of the cylinder 110 is vertical, that is, the sand mill 100 is a vertical sand mill, and the baffles 120 are arranged on the circumference of the cylinder 110. Furthermore, there are four baffles 120, which are arranged in a circular array. The four baffles 120 are used to block the friction medium and the material, further preventing the occurrence of laminar flow, improving the blocking effect, increasing turbulence, and improving grinding efficiency.

[0042] The sand mill 100 provided by the present invention has a main shaft 130 rotatably mounted within a barrel 110 and coaxially disposed with the barrel 110. A stirring shaft 140 is connected to the main shaft 130 and extends radially along the main shaft 130. The main shaft 130 is used to drive the friction medium and the material to move within the barrel 110 via the stirring shaft 140. The baffle 120 is connected to the barrel 110 and spaced apart from the stirring shaft 140. The difference between the minimum spacing between the baffle 120 and the stirring shaft 140 and the diameter of the friction medium is 1 mm to 2 mm. Compared with the prior art, the sand mill 100 provided by the present invention can avoid the occurrence of laminar flow, improve the shear force of the friction medium during movement, ensure grinding efficiency, and enhance the grinding effect due to the use of the baffle 120 connected to the barrel 110 and the stirring shaft 140 having a minimum spacing greater than the diameter of the friction medium.

[0043] Second embodiment

[0044] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides a sand mill 100 . Compared with the first embodiment, the difference of this embodiment is that the structure of the baffle 120 is different.

[0045] In this embodiment, the baffle 120 includes a connecting portion 121 and a plurality of extension portions 122. The connecting portion 121 is rectangular, with the length of the connecting portion 121 being axially aligned with the cylinder 110 and the width of the connecting portion 121 being radially aligned with the cylinder 110. The position of the connecting portion 121 corresponds to the position of the plurality of stirring shafts 140. One side of the connecting portion 121 is connected to the cylinder 110, and the other side is connected to the plurality of extension portions 122. The plurality of extension portions 122 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and each extension portion 122 extends into a feed space. The extension portions 122 are used to block a portion of the friction medium and material in the feed space, thereby further preventing the occurrence of laminar flow, enhancing the blocking effect, increasing turbulence, and improving grinding efficiency.

[0046] Preferably, the extension portion 122 is rectangular, triangular or trapezoidal in shape to meet different grinding requirements and facilitate processing.

[0047] The beneficial effects of the sand grinder 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
