Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to planetary ball mills, and more particularly to a ball milling mechanism for a fully automatic planetary ball mill. Background Technology

[0002] Ball mills are commonly used ball milling equipment. During ball milling, the grinding balls roll under the action of the ball milling jar (210) to grind the material in the ball milling jar (210) and achieve the purpose of crushing the material.

[0003] Currently, to improve the grinding efficiency of ball mills, multiple grinding jars (210) are typically used simultaneously for grinding. The grinding jars (210) rotate to complete the grinding process. However, since the grinding jars (210) only rotate around their own axis, the grinding effect is poor, making it difficult to achieve the required particle size in a short time. To pursue better grinding results, existing ball mills, in addition to the rotation of the grinding jars (210), also cause several grinding jars (210) to revolve around a central point, combining the rotational and revolving motions of the grinding jars (210) to improve the grinding effect.

[0004] However, ball mills for compound grinding are mostly used in laboratory conditions and are difficult to industrialize. The reason is that in laboratory conditions, the ball mill jar (210) is usually manually filled, while in industrial production, efficiency and automation are pursued. In order to achieve automation and improve efficiency, multiple ball mill jars (210) are often used to complete a large amount of grinding in one operation. At the same time, the feeding mechanism usually has the same number of feeding ports as the ball mill jar (210). Multiple feeding ports feed materials into the ball mill jar (210) at the same time to improve feeding efficiency.

[0005] Because the ball mill jar (210) revolves, it is difficult to ensure that the ball mill jar (210) is aligned with the feeding port after it stops, making it impossible to accurately feed materials into the ball mill jar (210).

[0006] For the reasons mentioned above, this application provides a ball milling mechanism for a fully automatic planetary ball mill, which can ensure that the ball milling tank (210) is aligned with the feeding port, avoid misalignment, and realize automated feeding. Utility Model Content

[0034] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a ball milling mechanism for a fully automatic planetary ball mill, including a rotating component 100, a ball milling jar assembly 200, a power component 300, and a position detection component. The rotating component 100 rotates under the drive of the power component 300. The ball milling jar assembly 200 is disposed on the rotating component 100, completing the revolution and rotation of the ball milling jar assembly 200. The position detection component detects whether the stopping position of the ball milling jar assembly 200 is directly opposite the feeding port.

[0036] Specifically, the rotating assembly 100 includes an upper plate 110 and a middle plate 120, with the upper plate 110 positioned above the middle plate 120. Both the upper plate 110 and the middle plate 120 are circular. A drive shaft 130 passes through the center of the middle plate 120, and a drive bearing is fitted onto the drive shaft 130. The drive shaft 130 is mounted on the middle plate 120 via the drive bearing, with its lower end located below the middle plate 120. A sun gear 140 is fixed to the upper end of the drive shaft 130. A transition gear 150 is also provided on the middle plate 120, rotating eccentrically on the middle plate 120 and meshing with the sun gear 140. Several planetary gears 160 are also provided on the middle plate 120, rotating eccentrically on the middle plate 120 and meshing with the transition gears 150. The sun gear 140, intermediate gear 150, and planet gear 160 are helical gears. A planet gear shaft 170 is fixed on the planet gear 160, and the upper end of the planet gear shaft 170 passes through the upper plate 110 and extends beyond the upper plate 110 by a certain distance.

[0037] The aforementioned grinding jar assembly 200 includes a grinding jar 210, which is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the planetary gear shaft 170.

[0038] The aforementioned power component 300 is connected to the drive shaft 130 and drives the drive shaft 130 to rotate.

[0039] The aforementioned position detection component includes a detection unit, a tested unit, and a central unit. The detection unit is mounted on the upper plate 110, and the tested unit is mounted on the feeding mechanism. The detection unit sends an acknowledgment signal to the tested unit. This acknowledgment signal is used to determine whether the feeding port is aligned with the ball mill jar 210. After receiving the acknowledgment signal, the tested unit, based on the positional relationship between the feeding port and the ball mill jar 210, if the feeding port is aligned, sends an alignment feedback signal to the central unit. The central unit receives the feedback signal and, based on this feedback signal, sends an adjustment signal to the power assembly 300, causing the power assembly 300 to stop outputting, thus achieving alignment between the feeding port and the ball mill jar 210. If the feeding port is not aligned, the tested unit sends a misalignment feedback signal to the central unit. The central unit receives the feedback signal and, based on this feedback signal, sends an adjustment signal to the power assembly 300, causing the power assembly 300 to continue outputting until the tested unit sends an alignment feedback signal to the central unit.

[0040] In this application, the algorithm for the central unit to determine whether the feeding port and the ball mill jar 210 are aligned adopts the prior art, and this application does not involve any improvement to the algorithm.

[0041] In this application, a detection unit is set on the rotating assembly 100, which, together with the test unit set on the feeding mechanism, determines the positional relationship between the grinding jar 210 and the feeding port. Furthermore, by adjusting the power assembly 300, the alignment of the grinding jar 210 and the feeding port is ensured, preventing spillage during loading. This application also incorporates a scheme with multiple grinding jars 210 and multiple feeding ports, ensuring both feeding efficiency and grinding efficiency.

[0042] The power unit 300 specifically includes a servo motor 310 and a three-phase motor 320. The output end of the servo motor 310 is connected to the input end of the three-phase motor 320, and the output end of the three-phase motor 320 is connected to the drive shaft 130. The servo motor 310 receives adjustment signals from the central unit.

[0043] In this application, the three-phase motor 320 is responsible for the main power output, while the servo motor 310 performs precise control of the three-phase motor 320 to achieve rapid response and accurate positioning.

[0044] Furthermore, the power assembly 300 also includes a reducer 330 and an electromagnetic clutch 340. The output end of the servo motor 310 is connected to the input end of the reducer 330, the output end of the reducer 330 is connected to the input end of the electromagnetic clutch 340, and the output end of the electromagnetic clutch 340 is connected to the input end of the three-phase motor 320.

[0045] In this application, the output speed of the servo motor 310 is adjusted by the reducer 330, so that the output speed is more suitable for driving the three-phase motor 320 after the adjustment by the reducer 330. At the same time, the use of the electromagnetic clutch 340 can make the grinding jar 210 decelerate evenly, reducing the inertia generated by the sudden stop of the grinding jar 210.

[0046] In this embodiment, the specific structure and connection method of the power assembly 300 are detailed. Specifically:

[0047] The power assembly 300 also includes a bracket, which includes a middle plate 351 and an upper plate 352 disposed above the middle plate 351. The aforementioned reducer 330 is a servo right-angle reducer, which is fixed on the middle plate 351. The output end of the servo right-angle reducer passes through the middle plate 351 and the upper plate 352. A first bearing and a second bearing are also provided on the output end of the servo right-angle reducer. The first bearing is fixed on the middle plate 351, and the second bearing is fixed on the upper plate 352. The electromagnetic clutch 340 is fixed on the upper plate 352. After passing through the middle plate 351 and the upper plate 352, the output end of the servo right-angle reducer is connected to the input end of the electromagnetic clutch 340 through a coupling. The input end of the servo right-angle reducer is connected to the output end of the servo motor 310 through a coupling.

[0048] An output gear 341 is provided at the output end of the electromagnetic clutch 340, and a driven gear 321 is provided at the input end of the three-phase motor 320. A chain is provided between the output gear 341 and the driven gear 321. Under the combined action of the output gear 341, the driven gear 321 and the chain, the electromagnetic clutch 340 transmits power to the three-phase motor 320, driving the three-phase motor 320 to rotate.

[0049] Preferably, a tensioner 360 is also provided on the upper plate 352. The tensioner 360 is used to adjust the tension of the chain. This application provides a structure for the tensioner 360, which includes a support with a groove. The direction of the groove is perpendicular to the length direction of the chain. A screw is slidably disposed in the groove. The screw passes through the groove and is screwed to a slide block at the upper end of the support. An auxiliary bearing for abutting the chain is provided on the slide block. The position of the slide block on the groove can be adjusted by adjusting the tightness of the bolt, thereby adjusting the tension of the chain.

[0050] Understandably, other tensioner structures may also be used in this application, requiring that the tensioner 360° does not interfere with the chain drive.

[0051] The aforementioned rotating assembly also includes a chassis and a compartment. The chassis is mounted on the upper surface of the compartment, and the lower end of the drive shaft 130 passes through the base plate and the upper surface of the compartment. The drive shaft 130 is driven by a sprocket at the output end of the three-phase motor 320 below the upper surface of the compartment. Preferably, the drive shaft 130 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the compartment. Specifically, a third bearing is provided at the lower end of the drive shaft 130, and the outer ring of the third bearing is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the compartment. The third bearing is preferably an angular contact bearing, which can withstand a certain axial force, enabling the drive shaft 130 to provide support and rotation.

[0052] A transition shaft 180 is also provided on the transition gear 150. Transition bearings are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the transition shaft 180. The outer ring of the upper transition bearing is fixedly connected to the upper disk 110, and the outer ring of the lower transition bearing is fixedly connected to the middle disk 120. Under the action of the two transition bearings, the transition shaft 180 can rotate relative to the middle disk 120, thereby driving the transition gear 150 to rotate. Planetary bearings are provided at both ends of the planetary gear shaft 170. The outer ring of the planetary bearing at the upper end of the planetary gear shaft 170 is fixedly connected to the upper disk 110, and the outer ring of the planetary bearing at the lower end of the planetary gear shaft 170 is fixedly connected to the middle disk 120. Under the action of the two planetary bearings, the planetary shaft can drive the planetary gear 160 to rotate. Simultaneously, driven by the middle disk 120, the planetary shaft drives the planetary gear 160 to rotate around the driving gear.

[0053] Preferably, the rotating assembly 100 further includes a cylindrical body 190, wherein the aforementioned upper plate 110, middle plate 120 and chassis are spaced apart along the axial direction of the drive wheel within the cylindrical body 190.

[0054] In this embodiment, the number of grinding jars 210 is set to four, and the four grinding jars 210 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the central plate 120. The number of corresponding position detection components is the same as the number of grinding jars 210, and each detection unit is located in the middle of adjacent grinding jars 210.

[0055] This application does not specify the specific structure of the feeding mechanism. However, to achieve high-efficiency feeding, the feeding mechanism should have the same number of feeding ports as the ball mill jar 210, and the feeding ports should be positioned opposite to the ball mill jar 210 to ensure that the material can fall freely into the ball mill jar 210. The test unit is located in the middle of adjacent feeding ports. A solenoid valve is installed at each feeding port, and the solenoid valve is controlled by the central unit.

[0056] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
