Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] A powder particle classifier is configured at the discharge end of a grinding mill to separate powder particles of different sizes. The classifier includes a frame 1 and a separator cylinder mounted on the frame 1. The separator cylinder is composed of a vertically connected straight feed cylinder 7 and a conical cylinder 8. A vortex-cutting guide shroud 11 is circumferentially connected to the straight feed cylinder 7. The outer end of the vortex-cutting guide shroud 11 is a feed inlet 10. The side of the vortex-cutting guide shroud 11 that is in contact with the straight feed cylinder 7 is integrally connected to it in a spiral cutting manner. The function of the vortex-cutting guide shroud 11 is to create a spiral airflow channel, thereby forming a vortex-cutting pneumatic fluid containing powder particles inside the straight feed cylinder 7. The top of the straight-through material cylinder 7 is equipped with a top cover 6. The top cover 6 has a through hole in the middle, and a sleeve is sealed and installed at the through hole. The lower end of the sleeve is connected to the straight-through material cylinder 7, and the upper end is connected to the fine powder hopper 3 located above the top cover 6 to form a fine powder channel. The fine powder hopper 3 has a fine powder outlet 4 and is connected to an external fan and dust collector via the fine powder outlet 4. A motor 2 is installed above the fine powder hopper 3. The output shaft of the motor 2 passes through the top cover end of the fine powder hopper 3 and downwards through the fine powder hopper 3 and the sleeve into the interior of the straight-through material cylinder 7, where it is fixedly connected to the classifying wheel 5 located inside the straight-through material cylinder 7. The straight feed cylinder 7 has an anti-backflow cone shroud 14 in its inner middle section. The anti-backflow cone shroud 14 has a straight section 14a that is fixed to the inner wall of the straight feed cylinder 7 and a cone section 14b with a predetermined slope. The anti-backflow cone shroud 14 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the straight feed cylinder 7 through the straight section 14a. The cone section 14b has a circular guide channel in the middle and guides the screened coarse powder to the space below through the circular guide channel.
[0021] The grading wheel 5 is a cylindrical sieve cylinder structure, specifically including a tubular filter element and a first end seat and a second end seat located at the upper and lower ends of the tubular filter element; the tubular filter element includes several longitudinal wedge-shaped filter strips arranged circumferentially, and several filter slits arranged circumferentially and formed between two adjacent longitudinal wedge-shaped filter strips; the shape of the filter slits has a radial transition from small to large along the filtration direction.
[0022] The bottom of the cone 8 is a discharge end for connection with the discharge device. A pair of opposing vent pipes 9 are horizontally arranged below the cone 8, each tangentially connected to the outer periphery of the cone 8 and extending into the interior of the cone. The two vent pipes 9 are connected to an external air source. Pressurized airflow enters the interior of the cone 8 through the two vent pipes 9, forming an upward spiral airflow at the bottom of the cone 8. This intercepts some of the falling fine powder, which is then pushed upwards by the airflow until it is pushed to the fine powder hopper 3 for separation.
[0023] The equipment frame 1 is also equipped with a lifting cylinder 12. The cylinder rod end of the lifting cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 6 through a connector. When it is necessary to open the upper cover 6, the upper cover 6 can be pushed open by controlling the lifting cylinder 12. The outer wall of the straight material cylinder 7 is equipped with a locking hinge 13, which can seal and lock the upper cover 6 to the top of the straight material cylinder 7.
[0024] The working process of the feeder in this embodiment is as follows:
[0025] First, start all the fans and motors to put the equipment into operation. The material is first fed into the straight-through material cylinder at the top of the separator cylinder through the feed inlet. With the airflow direction and the high-speed rotation of the classifying wheel, the material forms a swirling airflow in the straight-through material cylinder. At the same time, the negative pressure created by the fan outside the fine powder bin above the separator cylinder also generates an upward airflow, which causes the smaller fine particles in the material to pass through the classifying wheel and be carried upward into the fine powder bin, and finally separated and discharged through the fine powder outlet. The larger coarse particles are blocked by the classifying wheel and fall downward, passing through the anti-backflow cone and entering the cone inside the cylinder. The fine particles that are still present in the material inside the cone are pushed upward again by the upward swirling airflow formed by the bottom air pipe as they descend, and pass through the anti-backflow cone into the fine powder bin above for separation and discharge.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
