[0031] Working principle:
[0032] First, the staff pours lime into the storage tank 1 and starts the first motor 2 to drive the stirring rod 4 to rotate. The stirring rod 4 drives the lime in the storage tank 1 to stir. By controlling the flow sensor 6 to open, after the mixing and stirring is completed, the lime milk is sucked out of the storage tank 1 and then transported out through the discharge pipe.

[0033] Then the mixed lime milk enters the interior of the processing box 15 through the feed port 5, and the third motor 17 on the outside of the base 16 at the bottom end of the processing box 15 is started. After the third motor 17 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 18 drives the protrusion 20 set on the outside to rotate, and the protrusion 20 drives the top rod 21 inside the outer shell 19 to slide up and down in the slide groove of the inner wall of the outer shell 19. During the up and down sliding of the top rod 21, the processing box 15 is knocked and slapped to prevent internal precipitation. When the inside of the processing box 15 is processed, the mineralized bubbles rise from the lower part of the flotation tank to the surface of the ore pulp to form a mineralized foam layer, and the foam containing the useful minerals gathers on the surface of the flotation tank. The scraper 12 rotated by the second motor 8 scrapes out the foam attached to the top of the foam collecting box 7, and discharges the mineralized foam to the inside of the collecting box 24 to become a concentrate product.
