[0023] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a deep cone concentrator and an underground tunnel processing system, which can improve the processing capacity of the concentrator within a limited floor space.

[0025] For ease of understanding, a deep cone concentrator provided by an embodiment of the present invention is first described. Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of a deep cone concentrator provided by the embodiment of the utility model is shown as follows: Figure 1As shown, the deep cone concentrator includes a body 10, and a spiral lifting device 20 installed in the body 10; the spiral lifting device 20 is used to lift the material in the body 10. The body 10 is the outer shell of the concentrator, which is usually made of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or special coatings. The bottom surface of the body 10 has an inclined angle relative to the plane where the body 10 is located, which can make the solid material deposited at the bottom slide toward the discharge port 30 more easily for discharge. The spiral lifting device 20 lifts the solid material deposited at the bottom upward by rotation, prevents bottom blockage, and promotes uniform distribution of materials, which includes a central shaft: a shaft with spiral blades, installed at the center of the concentrator. Motor and reducer: provide power to drive the central shaft to rotate. Bearing: supports the central shaft, reduces friction, and ensures its smooth operation.

[0026] In the present invention, a pump is installed at the discharge port 30 of the housing 10 to extract the concentrated solid material (underflow) and transport it to the outside. Furthermore, a flushing gun 40 is installed at a predetermined position within the housing 10, with its flushing nozzle facing the bottom surface of the housing 10. The input end of the flushing gun 40 is connected to the output end of the pump, and the pressure provided by the pump can be used to spray high-pressure water into the housing 10, clearing the bottom-deposited material and preventing clogging.

[0027] The present utility model provides a deep cone concentrator, in which the bottom of the machine body 10 has an inclination angle, so that the material can slide down naturally, reducing the formation of bottom sediment. The optimized inclination angle can ensure the smooth flow of materials and avoid blockage. Under the same floor space, a smaller inclination angle can increase the volume and improve the processing capacity. Moreover, the present utility model can extract the concentrated liquid from the discharge port 30 through the pump body, and a part of the concentrated liquid is transported to the flushing gun 40, and then sprayed to the bottom surface of the machine body 10 by the flushing gun 40 in a high-pressure spray manner. Through the inclination angle design and self-circulating flushing technology, the problems of bottom material accumulation and inclined surface deposition that are prone to occur in traditional deep cone concentrators when processing high-concentration slurry are solved. The utility model can not only keep the machine body 10 clean, but also improve the concentration efficiency and the long-term operating performance of the equipment. Through the above-mentioned technological innovations, the deep cone concentrator of the present utility model can better adapt to special sites such as underground tunnels, and improve the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, based on the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention also provides another deep cone concentrator, Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of another deep cone concentrator provided by the embodiment of the utility model is shown. Figure 2The body 10 is equipped with a feed pipe 50, which extends to the bottom surface of the body 10 at one end of the cavity of the body 10. The feed pipe 50 is installed on the upper part or side of the body 10. In the present invention, the feed pipe 50 extends into the interior of the body 10 and faces the bottom surface of the body 10. This ensures that mud or other materials to be processed can be directly deposited at the bottom, and then solid-liquid separation is carried out through the action of the spiral lifting device 20, thereby improving the efficiency of solid-liquid separation. In addition, this design can also reduce the impact on the internal structure, reduce the risk of blockage, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0029] The inclination angle is 7.5 to 20 degrees. Among them, a smaller inclination angle (such as 7.5 degrees) can make the equipment more compact and suitable for application scenarios with limited space. Moreover, a larger volume can be provided within the same footprint, thereby accommodating more materials. A larger inclination angle (such as 15 degrees or 20 degrees) can make the material slide to the discharge port 30 faster, reduce the accumulation of sediment at the bottom, and improve the separation efficiency. Since the material flow is smoother, more materials can be processed, thereby improving the processing capacity of the equipment. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the bottom surface of the body 10 is tilted at 10 degrees, which balances material flowability and throughput and is suitable for most application scenarios. The appropriate tilt angle can be determined based on material characteristics, throughput requirements, and site constraints. In summary, the bottom surface of the body 10 of the present invention facilitates material flow and allows it to slide more easily to the bottom of the body 10, helping to prevent the material from forming a difficult-to-move sediment layer at the bottom and reducing the risk of clogging.

[0030] A honeycomb inclined plate 60 is also installed in the body 10, and the honeycomb inclined plate 60 is installed on the inner wall of the body 10 through a fixed bracket. The honeycomb inclined plate 60 is usually composed of a plurality of inclined small plates to form a structure similar to a honeycomb. The gaps between these small plates can promote the rise of the liquid while allowing the solid particles to settle to the bottom. The honeycomb inclined plate 60 is usually made of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or special plastics, to ensure long-term stable operation. In specific implementation, it can be installed on the inner wall of the body 10 through a fixed bracket to ensure that the honeycomb inclined plate 60 can be firmly fixed in the appropriate position. The bracket can be made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, to ensure its long-term use in harsh environments. The inclination angle of the honeycomb inclined plate 60 can be set between 30 degrees and 45 degrees to effectively promote the rise of the liquid, while the solid particles slide along the inclined plate to the bottom, preventing the solid particles from adhering to the inclined plate, thereby achieving efficient solid-liquid separation.

[0031] A flushing pipe is installed at the upper end of the side wall of the body 10. One end of the flushing pipe is connected to the flushing gun 40, and the other end of the flushing pipe is connected to the output end of the pump body. The utility model provides a flushing pipe to connect the output port and the flushing gun 40 through the pump body, so that the material output by the body 10 can be used to achieve self-cleaning of the body 10. This not only avoids wasting water resources, but also prevents material deposition and realizes the recycling of resources. There are multiple flushing pipes, and multiple flushing pipes are arranged around the top of the side wall of the body 10, which can conveniently cover the entire interior of the equipment and ensure a wide cleaning range. Specifically, the flushing pipe can be made of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or special plastics, to ensure long-term use. The nozzle of the flushing gun 40 can be designed in various forms, such as fan nozzles, straight nozzles, etc., to meet different cleaning needs. In addition, different types of pump bodies can be selected according to specific needs, such as centrifugal pumps, diaphragm pumps, etc. Furthermore, a cleaning mechanism can be provided on the pump body to filter and process the mud at the output port before supplying it to the flushing gun 40, thereby achieving self-cleaning of the machine body 10 without wasting water. A valve can be connected between the pump body and the flushing pipe to control whether the material at the output port is delivered to the flushing gun 40.

[0032] Furthermore, the body 10 of the present invention includes side panels, a top panel, and a bottom panel. The side panels form the sides of the body 10, while the top panel covers the top of the body 10, providing protection and sealing, protecting the interior of the body 10 from external environmental influences such as dust and water droplets. The top panel is a rectangular structure. This rectangular top panel design better accommodates the spatial limitations of underground tunnels and improves the installation flexibility of the equipment. Figure 3 A top view of the deep cone concentrator is shown. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the transmission device of the spiral lifting device 20 is installed on the top plate, which drives the spiral blades of the spiral lifting device 20 to rotate to prevent the central bottom of the body 10 from being blocked. Figure 2 The end of the bottom plate near the side plate is higher than the end of the bottom plate near the center of the body 10. This inclined design helps materials or liquids flow toward the center of the body 10, facilitating collection and processing, and reducing the risk of blockage. In addition, the inclined design also facilitates the self-cleaning of the equipment. In summary, the present utility model not only improves the applicability and working efficiency of the equipment in underground tunnels, but also can adapt to narrow spaces, and facilitates the centralized processing of materials or liquids, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0033] Furthermore, a bracket is provided at the lower end of the above-mentioned base plate, and there are multiple brackets, and the lengths of the multiple brackets are adapted to the inclination angle of the bottom surface of the body 10. The design of multiple brackets can evenly distribute the weight of the equipment and improve the overall stability. In addition, the bracket can be made of high-strength materials, such as steel or special alloys, to ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity and durability. The surface of the bracket can also be treated with anti-corrosion, such as galvanizing or spraying anti-corrosion paint, to extend the service life. The bracket can be connected to the base plate by welding, bolting or other fixing methods to ensure firmness and reliability. In some cases, the bracket can be designed to be adjustable in height so that it can be fine-tuned on site to adapt to different ground conditions.

[0034] Furthermore, a sedimentation tank is provided at the bottom of the body 10 for collecting sediment or sediment generated during the processing. The sedimentation tank can be designed to be conical or funnel-shaped to facilitate the collection of sediment at the discharge port 30. The capacity of the sedimentation tank can be determined according to the processing capacity and working cycle of the equipment to ensure that frequent cleaning is not required within a certain period of time. In the utility model, a discharge port 30 is provided at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, and the discharge port 30 is connected to the discharge port 30 of the body 10 through a pipe. A valve can be installed at the discharge port 30 to control the discharge time and flow rate of the material. The pipe can be fixed by flange connection or other reliable connection methods to ensure sealing and stability. In addition, the material of the pipe can be corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or special alloys, to adapt to the characteristics of different materials. The discharge port 30 of the body 10 is arranged at the lower end of the body 10, which can ensure the smooth discharge of sediment through the pipe.

[0035] In summary, the present invention provides another deep cone concentrator, which allows the material to flow naturally to the lower point through the inclined design of the bottom surface of the machine body 10, reducing the accumulation and blockage of the material inside the equipment and improving the material processing efficiency. In addition, the pump body and the discharge port 30 are used to achieve a self-circulating flushing of the mud, which not only reduces water waste and realizes the effective utilization of resources, but also cleans the bottom surface, keeps the interior of the equipment clean, prevents sediment accumulation, and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment. In addition, the present invention also designs the feed port to be deep feed, ensuring that the material can quickly enter the interior of the equipment and reducing the retention of the material at the entrance. It not only improves the feeding efficiency, but also can flush the central bottom to prevent the central bottom from clogging.

[0036] Furthermore, the present invention, when used in conjunction with the spiral lifting device 20, can effectively lift the material deposited at the bottom to a higher level for further processing or discharge, thereby improving the material processing efficiency. The design of the honeycomb inclined plate 60 increases the contact area between the material and the liquid, helping to more effectively separate the solid and liquid and improve the concentration effect. The honeycomb inclined plate 60 can also reduce turbulence, allowing the material to settle more evenly. In summary, the present invention not only expands the scope of application of the equipment, but also enables efficient operation within a limited space.

[0037] Furthermore, based on the above embodiment, the present invention further provides an underground tunnel treatment system, which is equipped with the deep cone thickener of the above embodiment.

For the sake of simplicity, any details not mentioned in the underground tunnel treatment system embodiment can be referred to the corresponding content of the above deep cone thickener embodiment.

[0038] The underground tunnel treatment system can be a comprehensive mine wastewater treatment system suitable for treating wastewater, slurry, and other materials in underground tunnels. Based on the aforementioned deep-cone concentrator, this embodiment can significantly improve the treatment efficiency of underground tunnel materials, reduce waste volume, and lower operating costs, while also being environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain. This system is particularly suitable for underground operating environments such as coal mines and metal mines, effectively solving underground wastewater and slurry treatment problems.
