Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sorting technology, and in particular to a sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the pretreatment process of heavy mineral separation, it is necessary to separate heavy minerals from other low-density minerals. Two common methods are used in related technologies to separate heavy minerals from other low-density minerals. Method one is manual separation, which mainly includes the following steps: the operator places the minerals in a washing pan and shakes the pan manually, using centrifugal force to remove the low-density minerals. Method two is vibration separation using a shaking table, which mainly includes the following steps: a series of baffles are set up from top to bottom on an inclined plane, and the minerals are shaken evenly using a shaking table. The low-density minerals are carried away by the water flow from the baffles, while the heavy minerals are blocked by the baffles and settle.

[0003] The two methods mentioned above have the following shortcomings: Method 1 is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, while Method 2 has poor sorting effect and cannot effectively remove some low-density minerals. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a sorting device, the technical solution of which is as follows.

[0005] This application provides a sorting device, comprising: a carrier, the carrier being rotatably disposed; a sorting member, the sorting member being provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating sorted samples, the sorting member being adjustablely connected to the carrier along an axis approaching or away from the center of the carrier, the sorting member and the carrier being mutually lockable; and a driving member, the driving member being connected to the carrier, the driving member being used to drive the carrier to rotate.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the connector includes a vacuum adsorption member disposed at the bottom of the sorting member, and the vacuum adsorption member can adsorb onto the surface of the carrier.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the center of the sorting component is offset from the axis of the carrier.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the accommodating cavity is provided with a spirally extending groove.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the sorting device further includes a housing, the drive member is housed within the housing, and the load member is mounted on top of the housing.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the outer casing is provided with a flow guide port and a discharge pipe that communicate with each other, and the flow guide port is connected to the receiving cavity of the sorting component.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, a control panel is provided on the housing, and the control panel is electrically connected to the drive component.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the use of terms such as "center," "middle," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" to indicate orientation or positional relationships is based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] See Figure 1 This application provides a sorting device that can improve sorting efficiency and enhance sorting effect. Optionally, the sorting device can be used for pretreatment in laboratory heavy mineral sorting. Of course, the sorting device in this application can also be applied to sorting in other scenarios, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0025] For example, see Figure 1The sorting device includes a carrier 100, a sorting component 210, and a driving component (not shown in the attached drawings). The carrier 100 is rotatably mounted. The sorting component 210 is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the sorted sample. The sorting component 210 is adjustablely connected to the carrier 100 along the direction of its axis, which is close to or away from the center of the carrier 100. The sorting component 210 and the carrier 100 can be locked to each other. The driving component is connected to the carrier 100 and is used to drive the carrier 100 to rotate.

[0026] It is understood that when the sorting device in this application embodiment is used, the sorting sample, including the target object and the non-target object, can be placed in the receiving cavity of the sorting member 210. After being sorted by the sorting device, the non-target object can be discharged and the target object can be left, thus achieving sorting.

[0027] On the one hand, the sorting device in this embodiment utilizes the driving action of the driving component on the carrier 100 to achieve the rotation of the sorting component 210, thereby realizing the automatic sorting of samples. Therefore, the sorting device in this application does not require manual sorting, saving time and effort and improving sorting efficiency. On the other hand, the sorting device in this embodiment can change the magnitude of the centrifugal force of the sorting component 210 by adjusting the position of the sorting component 210 relative to the carrier 100, making the sorting device applicable to the sorting of heavy minerals of different particle sizes and enhancing the sorting effect. For example, if the target object in the sorted sample is a small-particle-size heavy mineral, the sorting component 210 can be fixed near the axis of the carrier 100 to reduce the centrifugal force; if the target object in the sorted sample is a large-particle-size heavy mineral, the sorting component 210 can be fixed near the edge of the carrier 100 to increase the centrifugal force.

[0028] Optionally, the sorting component 210 is a circular sorting disk, and the carrying component 100 is a circular carrying disk. For example, the sorting component 210 is a recessed circular sorting disk with a diameter of 80 mm. The carrying component 100 is a flat circular carrying disk with a diameter of 254 mm. Optionally, both the sorting component 210 and the carrying component 100 are made of non-magnetic stainless steel.

[0029] Of course, the sorting component 210 and the carrier component 100 can also adopt other shapes and structures. The specific dimensions and materials of the sorting component 210 and the carrier component 100 can also be selected according to actual needs, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0030] Optionally, the driving component can be a drive motor. Of course, the driving component can also adopt a gear drive structure or other drive structures, without specific limitations.

[0031] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sorting device further includes a connector, through which the sorting member 210 is adjustablely connected to the carrier 100.

[0032] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connector includes a vacuum adsorption member 220, which is disposed at the bottom of the sorting member 210 and can be adsorbed onto the surface of the carrier 100.

[0033] Optionally, the vacuum suction component 220 can be a vacuum suction cup, that is, the sorting component 210 can be directly fixed on the carrier component 100 by the vacuum suction cup.

[0034] It is understandable that the sorting component 210 and the carrier component 100 can also be connected in an adjustable manner through other connection structures such as snap-fit ​​structures and locking structures, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0035] It should be noted that, compared with other connection structures, using a vacuum suction cup can ensure that the sorting component 210 is fixedly connected to the carrier 100, while also facilitating the movement of the sorting component 210 relative to the carrier 100. Furthermore, there is no need to set other connection structures on the surface of the carrier 100, which can ensure the smoothness of the surface of the carrier 100, which is conducive to the discharge of water and non-target objects in the sorting component 210 and will not accumulate on the surface of the carrier 100.

[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, the center of the sorting member 210 is offset from the axis of the carrier 100.

[0037] It is understandable that when the sorting component 210 is a circular sorting disk, the center of the sorting component 210 is the center of the sorting disk; when the carrier component 100 is a circular carrier disk, the axis of the carrier component 100 is the center of the carrier disk. The center of the sorting component 210 and the axis of the carrier component 100 are offset, so that the sorting disk can simulate manual screening and uniformly sort the samples in the entire sorting component 210. This prevents the problem that heavy sand samples at the center position of the sorting component 210 (i.e., the center position of the sorting disk) cannot be screened out when there is a concentric design, thereby improving the sorting efficiency and enhancing the sorting effect.

[0038] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 2 The inner wall of the receiving cavity of the sorting component 210 is provided with a spirally extending groove 211. This structural design can create a gradient inside the sorting component 210, which is beneficial for separating different minerals and enhancing the sorting effect.

[0039] Of course, other structures that facilitate sorting can be provided inside the sorting component 210, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sorting device further includes a housing, in which a drive unit is housed, and a carrier 100 is mounted on top of the housing. Optionally, the drive unit and the housing may together constitute the main unit 300.

[0041] Optionally, the outer casing can be rectangular. It is understood that the specific shape of the outer casing can be set according to actual needs, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0042] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The outer casing includes an outer casing body 310 and a chassis 320. The chassis 320 is rotatably mounted on the outer casing body 310. The load 100 is fixedly mounted on the chassis 320. A drive unit is connected to the chassis 320. The chassis 320 is recessed. It can be understood that the drive unit drives the chassis 320 to rotate, thereby causing the load 100 to rotate.

[0043] Optionally, the chassis 320 is provided with a first connecting part 321, and the carrier 100 is provided with a second connecting part (not shown in the figures) for cooperating with the first connecting part 321, so that the carrier 100 can be mounted on the chassis 320. Optionally, the first connecting part 321 can be a slot, and the second connecting part can be a buckle.

[0044] For example, two slots are symmetrically arranged on the chassis 320, and two buckles are correspondingly arranged on the bottom of the load 100. By inserting the two buckles into the two slots respectively, the load 100 can be fixedly installed on the chassis 320.

[0045] It is understandable that the specific number and location of the card slots and buckles can be set according to actual needs, and no specific restrictions are imposed here. Of course, the first connecting part 321 and the second connecting part can also adopt other connecting structures such as a locking structure, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, the housing is provided with a flow guide 322 and a discharge pipe 311 that communicate with each other, and the flow guide 322 communicates with the receiving cavity of the sorting component 210. Optionally, see Figure 3 The guide port 322 can be set on the chassis 320, and the discharge pipe 311 can be installed on the outer shell 310.

[0047] Understandably, non-target materials in the sorted sample can be discharged from the sorting member 210 into the guide port 322 along with the water flow, and then discharged from the discharge pipe 311. Optionally, the non-target materials and water discharged from the discharge pipe 311 can be collected in a basin.

[0048] Optionally, the recessed design of the chassis 320 facilitates the drainage of water and non-target objects in the sorting component 210 into the guide port 322, and also prevents water and non-target objects from splashing out.

[0049] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1The outer casing is equipped with a control panel 312, which is electrically connected to the drive unit.

[0050] Alternatively, in some embodiments, see Figure 1 The control panel 312 is equipped with a speed adjustment knob 3121, a speed display 3122, and a timer 3123. The speed adjustment knob 3121 is used to adjust the speed of the driving component, the speed display 3122 is used to display the speed of the driving component, and the timer 3123 is used to time the rotation time of the driving component. Optionally, the speed adjustment knob 3121 is a stepless speed adjustment knob.

[0051] It is understandable that by adjusting the position of the sorting component 210 relative to the carrier 100 (i.e., adjusting the centrifugal force of the sorting component 210) and the rotation speed of the drive component, the sorting device can be adapted to the sorting of heavy minerals of different particle sizes.

[0052] Optionally, the sorting device further includes a water source for injecting water into the sorting member 210 to enable the sorting member 210 to perform sorting. Optionally, the water source is a spray water source.

[0053] This application also provides a sorting method, including the following steps:

[0054] Step S100: Install the carrier 100 on the chassis 320 of the outer casing, and then install the sorting component 210 on the carrier 100 through the vacuum adsorption component 220.

[0055] Understandably, the specific installation position of the sorting component 210 on the carrier 100 can be determined based on the sorted sample. If the target material in the sorted sample is small-diameter heavy mineral, the sorting component 210 can be fixed near the axis of the carrier 100 to reduce centrifugal force; if the target material in the sorted sample is large-diameter heavy mineral, the sorting component 210 can be fixed near the edge of the carrier 100 to increase centrifugal force.

[0056] Step S200: Place the sample to be sorted into the receiving cavity of the sorting component 210.

[0057] For example, 10g of a sample to be sorted with a particle size of 0.063mm-0.25mm is placed in the sorting component 210.

[0058] Step S300: Water is supplied vertically at a uniform speed to the receiving cavity of the sorting component 210 through a water source.

[0059] Step S400: Turn on the drive unit and adjust its rotation speed using the speed control knob 3121. The rotation speed of the drive unit can be displayed on the speed display 3122. The rotation time of the drive unit is timed using the timer 3123. For example, the rotation speed of the drive unit and the sorting time (i.e., the rotation time of the drive unit) can be determined according to the number of samples to be sorted.

[0060] In step S500, when the drive unit stops rotating, the target material (e.g., heavy minerals such as hematite, magnetite, and barite) and non-target material (e.g., low-density minerals such as quartz, mica, and feldspar) in the sorted sample can be collected separately and dried.

[0061] Step S600: Observe the purity of the target object under a microscope. If the purity of the sorted target object is greater than or equal to 98%, the sorting is completed; if the purity of the sorted target object is less than 98%, the sorting is repeated.

[0062] Optionally, the sorting effect can be optimized by increasing the sorting time, increasing the rotation speed of the drive component, or adjusting the position of the sorting component 210 relative to the carrier component 100 during re-sorting.

[0063] In the description of this specification, the use of terms such as "an embodiment," "some examples," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples" indicates that the specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in the embodiment or example of this application.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
