Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of uniform and continuous feeding of filter press coal slime, and in particular to a novel online uniform feeding buffer device for ultra-high pressure filter press dry coal slime. Background Technology

[0002] The online uniform feeding buffer device for coal slime is a supporting equipment for the uniform and continuous feeding of coal slime for filter press. Coal slime generally refers to the semi-solid material formed by the moisture content of coal powder, and is one of the by-products generated in the current wet coal washing process. Currently, the mature coal slime dewatering processes include hot air drying systems, ordinary drum drying, and filter press. As a by-product of coal washing plants, coal slime has unfavorable characteristics such as high moisture content, high viscosity, high water holding capacity, high ash content, and low calorific value. The comprehensive utilization of coal slime has become a major challenge, and its value has not been fully realized. Drying technology generally cannot directly process concentrated slurry, is dependent on heat sources, and is greatly affected by environmental protection policies. Outdoor drying occupies a large area; the drying time is long; it is greatly affected by the season; it cannot be continuously produced; and it is prone to secondary dust and water pollution. High-temperature flue gas drying technology has poor safety performance and is difficult to obtain environmental impact assessment approval for hot air use, and has now been phased out by the market; low-temperature drying technology requires additional supporting equipment from thermal power plants, which is costly and easily subject to energy conservation and environmental protection policies. Currently, various ultra-high pressure filter presses have been developed in China, mainly using two technical routes: water pressing and mechanical pressing. These two types of filter presses can reduce the moisture content of coal slime by 6-10% compared to ordinary filter presses. After crushing, the coal slime is in a dry powder form, exhibiting excellent blending properties. Due to the reduced moisture content, the calorific value of ultra-high pressure coal slime is generally increased, allowing it to be blended into middlings, mixed coal, and other products for sale. However, because filter presses operate cyclically, the discharge is concentrated within a short period, resulting in a large instantaneous volume. This puts significant pressure on subsequent crushing and transfer processes. Therefore, solving the problem of uniform material discharge from filter presses is a core issue that the filter press industry needs to address. With continuous technological advancements, the manufacturing process requirements for online uniform feeding buffer devices for coal slime are also becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] Existing online uniform feeding buffer devices for coal slime have certain drawbacks in use. Currently, many coal preparation plants use ultra-high pressure filter presses for coal slime, which have lower moisture content and better product quality. Coal slime can be used as a blended coal product or mixed with clean coal for sale. Coal slime products account for a high proportion of the products of coal preparation plants, and the sales of coal slime products directly affect the economic benefits of coal preparation plants.

[0004] During the filter press operation in a coal preparation plant, a single work cycle of the filter press can take 30-60 minutes. Taking the production data of a certain coal preparation plant as an example:

[0005] Mold closing and pressure holding for 3 minutes

[0006] Total feeding time: 13 minutes

[0007] Backdraft for 5 minutes

[0008] Press for 8 minutes

[0009] 5 minutes of backflow

[0010] Mold opening and unloading in 6 minutes

[0011] One cycle lasts 40 minutes, with a discharge time of 4-6 minutes. The discharge of coal slime from the filter press is discontinuous and involves a relatively large instantaneous volume, with the filter cake being pulsed into the collection belt piece by piece. Simultaneously, the coal slime has a certain viscosity, and coupled with the high-pressure pressing during the filtration process, the coal slime material discharged from the filter press is in the form of relatively compact, large cakes that are not easily broken naturally. This causes the following problems:

[0012] Due to the discontinuous discharge of filter press material, the impact on the discharge scraper is large, the filter cake is large, and material overflow occurs. Overload tripping accidents occur frequently, and the workshop environment is unsanitary.

[0013] Due to the uneven feeding of materials into the blended product, the instantaneous quantity is large, resulting in oversized particles. The moisture and calorific value are lower than those of the mixed coal product, which can easily cause periodic fluctuations in the quality of the final product. The particle size of the final product may exceed the standard or the quality of some parts of the product may be substandard, which can easily affect the sales of the final product.

[0014] Because the filter cake blocks are large and sticky, they cause blockages when mixed with coal and put into the silo.

[0015] The coal slime filter cake is discharged unevenly with a large instantaneous volume. When selecting subsequent coal slime transfer scraper conveyors and crushers, the instantaneous capacity must be based on 300t / h. Moreover, the transfer and crushing equipment only works during the unloading of coal slime filter cake within one hour, resulting in short effective working time, large equipment selection, high energy consumption, and uneconomical operation.

[0016] To avoid significant periodic fluctuations in the quality of the filter cake after discharge, the discharge speed was manually controlled to reduce the amount of coal slime cake mixed in. This extended the normal discharge time of the filter press from approximately 5 minutes to approximately 20 minutes, reducing the efficiency of the filter press and affecting its processing capacity.

[0017] In view of this, uneven discharge from the filter press and difficulty in breaking the filter cake seriously affect production and make it difficult to mix coal slime into clean coal, severely impacting economic benefits. Therefore, it is necessary to install a coal slime homogenization equipment system. We propose a new type of ultra-high pressure filter press dry coal slime online uniform feeding buffer device. Utility Model Content

[0018] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel online uniform feeding and buffering device for ultra-high pressure filtered coal slime.

This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0019] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a novel online uniform feeding and buffering device for ultra-high pressure filter press dry coal slime, comprising a walking mechanism, a feed chute, a buffer box, and an ultra-high pressure filter press.

[0024] Preferably, the crushing impeller moves horizontally inside the feed chute and initially crushes the filter cake inside the feed chute, while feeding it evenly into the conveyor at the bottom.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel online uniform feeding and buffering device for ultra-high pressure filter-dried coal slime, which has the following beneficial effects: In this novel online uniform feeding and buffering device for ultra-high pressure filter-dried coal slime, the coal slime falling from the filter press falls into a modified chute, which serves as a buffer chamber. An impeller driven by a variable frequency motor in the middle of the chute pre-crushes the filter cake stored in the buffer chamber, while simultaneously feeding it evenly into the conveyor below. Below the impeller mounting bracket are two wheels driven by variable frequency motors, which travel along a track installed below to achieve continuous operation. The impeller speed and wheel travel speed are controlled by a frequency converter to pre-crush the coal slime filter cake, ensuring uniform particle size of the discharged material after pre-crushing. The unloading time of the novel uniform and continuous coal slime feeding device is automatically controlled by an intelligent control cabinet, ensuring synchronization with the filter press cycle time. This ensures that after the coal slime in the buffer chute of the previous cycle is evenly unloaded onto the scraper below, the coal slime of the next cycle can be unloaded into the empty buffer chute.
