Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grinding equipment technology, specifically to a low-temperature pressure-limiting ball mill jar. Background Technology

[0002] Ball milling is a commonly used grinding method. During ball milling, the grinding balls in the milling chamber move at high speed due to the shaking of the instrument, thereby impacting, squeezing, and rubbing the material to achieve pulverization. After being subjected to high-frequency impacts, the material breaks into small pieces, thus achieving fine pulverization of the sample.

[0003] During ball milling, friction generates a large amount of heat. Over time, this heat buildup can alter the properties of certain materials. Simultaneously, the gas medium in the enclosed space expands, increasing the air pressure in the ball mill chamber. This further increases the risk of material deterioration and the inherent dangers of ball milling.

[0004] Currently, common methods for controlling ball mill temperature include pre-cooling the mill jar before milling and introducing refrigerant gas into the working area. However, these methods suffer from drawbacks such as low cooling efficiency and sample contamination. Pressure control in ball mills is typically achieved using a pressure relief valve, but this method has limitations such as unadjustable pressure and material leakage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-temperature pressure-limiting ball mill jar, which features timely pressure adjustment, low risk of material leakage, and simple structure.

[0006] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] This utility model discloses a low-temperature pressure-limiting ball mill jar, including a jar body and a jar cover that are sealed and interlocked with each other. The jar body includes an outer shell and a hollow inner liner. The jar cover is provided with a pressure relief valve that is connected to the air passage of the inner liner. The pressure relief valve is provided with a filter membrane in the pressure relief channel to block the material and prevent leakage.

[0008] Furthermore, a space for storing refrigerant is provided between the outer shell and the inner liner, and the space is provided with vent holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom inner wall of the outer shell is provided with a fixing groove, and the bottom outer wall of the inner liner is provided with a fixing post corresponding to the fixing groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the can lid is equipped with a connector, and the pressure relief valve is connected to the connector via a thread.

[0011] Furthermore, the opening of the inner liner is provided with a step, and the step is connected to the inner wall of the outer shell opening by a thread.

[0012] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the contact point between the tank body and the tank lid.

[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the filter membrane is consistent with the outer diameter of the connector. During assembly, the filter membrane is placed flat on the connector, and the pressure relief valve is screwed in to fix the filter membrane.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer ring of the can lid is provided with multiple fixing through holes for screw locking the can lid to the can body.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressure relief valve includes a valve body and a valve cover, with a threaded connection between the valve body and the valve cover forming a movable space. The piston and spring abut against each other and are disposed inside the movable space.

[0016] Furthermore, a rubber sealing ring is provided at the contact point between the lower end of the piston and the valve body, and the valve body is provided with an exhaust port that connects to the atmosphere.

[0017] This utility model discloses a low-temperature pressure-limiting ball mill jar, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention relates to a ball mill jar equipped with a pressure relief valve and a filter membrane. The pressure relief pressure can be set by adjusting the valve cover. A channel connecting the pressure relief valve to the ball mill chamber is located at the bottom of the valve. When the pressure inside the jar exceeds the pressure relief pressure during ball milling, it pushes the piston inside the valve upwards to the upper part of the vent hole, allowing gas to escape. When the pressure inside the jar drops to the pressure relief pressure, the piston moves downwards to close the vent hole due to the spring force. Furthermore, a filter membrane is installed at the pressure relief valve channel to effectively prevent low-particle-size materials from being ejected with the vented gas.

[0019] This grinding jar has a jacket inside. By adding a low-temperature medium inside, the temperature of the ball-milled material can be effectively reduced, while also preventing the material from directly contacting and reacting with the low-temperature medium. Attached Figure Description
