[0037] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel hydrocyclone includes:

[0038] Hydrocyclone assembly 1, wherein the hydrocyclone assembly 1 is fixedly connected to the output end of slurry pump 3 via delivery pipe 2;

[0039] A first buffer tank 5, and a second buffer tank 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first buffer tank 5;

[0040] The sensing component 7 is fixedly installed at the first buffer tank 5. The sensing component 7 is electrically connected to the conveying control component 8. When the slurry level in the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 changes, the sensing component 7 can automatically control the conveying control component 8 to work.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, this application designs a first buffer tank 5, a second buffer tank 6, a sensing component 7, and a conveying control component 8. Through the above structure, the device can have buffering capacity, which can temporarily store and buffer when the slurry volume suddenly increases, and automatically call up and replenish after the slurry volume decreases, thereby realizing the function of automatic buffering and avoiding the problem of grading caused by fluctuations in slurry volume.

[0042] The hydrocyclone assembly 1 includes a cylindrical structure 101, a conical structure 102, a sedimentation port 103, a feed port 104, and an overflow pipe 105. The conical structure 102 is provided at the bottom side of the cylindrical structure 101, the overflow pipe 105 is provided at the upper end of the cylindrical structure 101, the sedimentation port 103 is provided at the bottom end of the conical structure 102, and the feed port 104 is provided at the arc-shaped surface of the cylindrical structure 101.

[0043] The output end of the slurry pump 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the input pipe 4, and the other end of the input pipe 4 extends into the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 and is fixedly connected to the first buffer tank 5. A flow valve 401 is installed on the input pipe 4. The flow valve 401 can control the flow rate of the slurry.

[0044] An input pipe 9 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5. Through this technical solution, the slurry to be processed is transported to the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 through the input pipe 9 and temporarily stored in the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5. Then, the slurry in the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 is transported to the hydrocyclone assembly 1 for processing by the slurry pump 3. By setting the first buffer tank 5, the slurry conveying speed can be effectively controlled, and the fluctuation of slurry volume caused by sudden increase or decrease in slurry volume can be avoided from affecting the processing effect of the hydrocyclone assembly 1.

[0045] The sensing component 7 includes a rectangular fixed shell 701, a movable slider 702, a connecting rod 703, a float 704, a first conductive base 705, and an electrical receiving part. The rectangular fixed shell 701 is fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the first buffer tank 5, and the movable slider 702 is slidably connected in the inner cavity of the rectangular fixed shell 701.

[0046] One end of a connecting rod 703 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the movable slider 702, and the other end of the connecting rod 703 extends into the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5. A float cylinder 704 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 703. With this technical solution, when the amount of slurry in the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 changes, the float cylinder 704 floats on the surface of the slurry, which allows the float cylinder 704 to move. In turn, the movement of the float cylinder 704 can drive the movable slider 702 to move.

[0047] A first conductive seat 705 is fixedly disposed on the upper wall of the inner cavity of the rectangular fixed shell 701, and a second conductive seat 706 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the rectangular fixed shell 701.

[0048] The movable slider 702 is provided with a power receiving part on both the upper and lower sides. The power receiving part includes a movable rod 707, a power receiving plate 708 and a spring 709. The movable rod 707 is disposed on the movable slider 702 and slides with the movable slider 702. The power receiving plate 708 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod 707. One end of the spring 709 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the power receiving plate 708. The other end of the spring 709 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable slider 702.

[0049] The conveying control component 8 includes a fixed chamber 801, a power supply 802, a first conveying pump 803 and a second conveying pump 804. The fixed chamber 801 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first buffer tank 5. The power supply 802 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the fixed chamber 801. The power supply 802 is electrically connected to two terminals 708 through wires.

[0050] A first delivery pump 803 and a second delivery pump 804 are fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the fixed chamber 801. The input end of the first delivery pump 803 is connected to the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 through a hose, and the output end of the first delivery pump 803 is connected to the inner cavity of the second buffer tank 6 through a hose. The input end of the second delivery pump 804 is connected to the inner cavity of the second buffer tank 6 through a hose, and the output end of the second delivery pump 804 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 through a hose.

[0051] The first delivery pump 803 is electrically connected to the first conductive base 705 via a wire, and the second delivery pump 804 is electrically connected to the second conductive base 706 via a wire. According to this technical solution, when the slurry temporarily stored in the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 is excessive, the slurry level rises, causing the float 704 to rise, thereby pushing the connecting rod 703 upwards. This causes the movable slider 702 to move upwards, and the upward movement of the movable slider 702 causes the contact plate 708 to contact the first conductive base 705, thus connecting the power supply 802 to power the first delivery pump 803, enabling the first delivery pump 803 to operate. The operation of the first delivery pump 803 allows the slurry in the inner cavity of the first buffer tank 5 to be transported to the inner cavity of the second buffer tank 6. Temporary storage allows for further storage of excess slurry. When the slurry level in the first buffer tank 5 is insufficient, the drop in liquid level causes the sliding block 702 to descend, thereby bringing the grounding plate 708 on the bottom side of the sliding block 702 into contact with the second conductive seat 706 and energizing it. This allows the power supply 802 to power the second delivery pump 804, enabling the second delivery pump 804 to transport the slurry in the second buffer tank 6 to the first buffer tank 5, thus achieving automatic replenishment. As described above, this application has the functions of slurry buffering, automatic temporary storage, and retrieval, which can greatly ensure the stability of the slurry, reduce fluctuations in slurry quantity, and improve the performance of the hydrocyclone assembly 1.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
