[0017] The present invention is not limited by the following embodiments, and specific implementation methods can be determined based on the technical solution of the present invention and actual conditions.
[0018] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0019] like Figure 1-5As shown, a security filter for the inlet of the thickener underflow pump includes a filter barrel 1, a slurry inlet pipe 2, a slurry outlet pipe 3, a stainless steel 4-mesh filter screen 4 and a control valve 5. The filter barrel 1 is radially symmetrically provided with a slurry inlet pipe 2 and a slurry outlet pipe 3 fixedly connected to the inner side of the filter barrel 1, and the control valve 5 is fixedly installed on the slurry inlet pipe 2; a stainless steel 4-mesh filter screen 4 is provided on the inner side of the filter barrel 1, and the slurry inlet pipe 2 and the slurry outlet pipe 3 are respectively located on both sides of the stainless steel 4-mesh filter screen 4, a blind plate 6 is fixedly installed above the filter barrel 1, an exhaust valve 10 is installed on the upper side of the blind plate 6, and the bottom of the blind plate 6 is lined with wear-resistant rubber.
[0020] The filter barrel body 1 has multiple specifications to choose from, including D820, D1020, D1120, D1230, D1330, D1430, and D1530 according to the diameter of the filter barrel body 1, and its pressure resistance level has multiple levels to choose from, including 1.00MPa, 1.60MPa, 2.00MPa, 2.50MPa, and 4.00MPa.
[0021] The above-mentioned slurry inlet pipe 2 and slurry outlet pipe 3 have multiple specifications to choose from, including DN100, DN150, DN200, DN250, DN300, DN350, DN400, DN450, DN500, DN550, and DN600 according to the diameter of the slurry inlet pipe 2 and the slurry outlet pipe 3, and the pressure resistance level has multiple levels to choose from, including 1.00MPa, 1.60MPa, 2.00MPa, 2.50MPa, and 4.00MPa.
[0022] The blind plate 6 is lined with 12mm thick wear-resistant rubber, which extends the service life of the filter barrel 1 and the tube body and saves costs. The wear-resistant rubber is made of elastic airbags, which does not scale or accumulate dust, closes tightly, does not leak slurry, and is safe and reliable. Among them, at least four water lines 9 are provided on the bottom of the blind plate 6, which are concentric with the blind plate 6, to increase the contact friction and sealing between the blind plate 6 and the wear-resistant rubber.
[0023] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] When in use, first install the device between the slurry inlet pipe 2 and the slurry outlet pipe 3. If connection difficulties occur, rubber force transmission joints or pressure-resistant rubber steel wire hoses can be installed on the slurry inlet and outlet pipes 3 to correct joint deviations and smoothly install the device in place, completing the installation. Subsequently, connect the equipment or slurry outlet pipe 3 to be connected, and control the slurry inlet through the control valve 5. The slurry in the filter barrel 1 is filtered through the stainless steel 4-mesh filter screen 4 and flows out from the slurry outlet pipe 3, which can effectively filter out large particles of debris in the thickener underflow slurry and pass the slurry through the filter with low resistance, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the underflow pump and ensuring the application of the safety filter for the inlet of the thickener underflow pump. In addition, the device has a simple structure, which solves the problem of easy blockage caused by the traditional filter filtering with too dense filter screen at the inlet of the existing thickener underflow pump, facilitates normal production, and is convenient for operation and maintenance, thereby improving the service life of the device and the production efficiency of the workshop.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a lower connecting flange 11 is provided on the outer side of the upper portion of the filter barrel 1, and an upper connecting flange 7 matching the lower connecting flange 11 is provided on the outer ring of the blind plate 6. The upper connecting flange 7 and the lower connecting flange 11 are connected together by bolts. Thus, a fixed connection between the blind plate 6 and the filter barrel 1 is achieved.
[0026] The flange and sealing blind plate 6 are available in various specifications including DN800, DN1000, DN1200 and DN1500 according to their diameters, and their pressure resistance grades are available in various levels including 1.00MPa, 1.60MPa, 2.00MPa, 2.50MPa and 4.00MPa.
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a handle 8 is provided at the top center of the blind plate 6. It is used to open the blind plate 6 for disassembly during maintenance and to facilitate the lifting of the entire distribution barrel.
[0028] As needed, wear-resistant rubber is provided on the inner wall of the filter barrel 1, the inner wall of the slurry inlet pipe 2, the inner wall of the slurry outlet pipe 3, and the top of the lower connecting flange 11. By providing the wear-resistant rubber, the service life of the distribution barrel 1 and the pipe body is extended, and costs are saved. The wear-resistant rubber is made of elastic airbags, which does not scale or accumulate dust, closes tightly, does not leak slurry, and is safe and reliable.
[0029] like Figure 1 、 2As shown, control valve 5 is an ash valve or gate valve. When conveying slurry, a dedicated ash valve for slurry management is recommended. This valve is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and has a long service life. Available diameters include DN100, DN150, DN200, DN250, DN300, DN350, DN400, DN450, DN500, DN550, and DN600. Pressure ratings include 1.00 MPa, 1.60 MPa, 2.00 MPa, 2.50 MPa, and 4.00 MPa.
