Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collector technology, and more specifically, to a collector mixing and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Collectors are flotation reagents that selectively adsorb onto mineral surfaces, increasing the hydrophobicity of the mineral surface and making it easier for the mineral to adhere to air bubbles. Collectors can be classified according to their molecular structure and dissociation properties in water. Common classifications include polar collectors and non-polar collectors. Polar collectors can be further subdivided into ionic (including anionic, cationic, and amphoteric) and non-ionic collectors. The main function of collectors is to alter the hydrophobicity of mineral surfaces, allowing suspended mineral particles to adhere to air bubbles, thereby improving the floatability of the minerals.
[0003] Cleaning the inner wall of the mixing chamber is crucial during the preparation of the collector. This is primarily because the collector raw materials may adhere to the inner wall during mixing, forming residues. If these residues are not cleaned promptly, they may affect the efficiency and effectiveness of subsequent mixing processes, and could even negatively impact the quality of the final product. Current cleaning methods typically involve injecting water into the chamber after the collector is mixed, followed by cleaning with brushes by workers. This significantly increases the workload, incurs high labor costs, reduces cleaning efficiency, prolongs the time required for subsequent mixing processes, and slows down the overall collector preparation process. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems of the prior art, this invention provides a collector mixing and cleaning device. The cleaning liquid in the water tank enters the annular pipe through the inlet and is then sprayed onto the wall of the mixing tank by the nozzle. The cleaning brush extends from the mixing blades under the action of the adjustment device and comes into contact with the tank wall to clean the residue on the tank wall, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency.
[0005] According to one aspect of this utility model, a collector mixing and cleaning device is provided, comprising a mixing tank, a mixing shaft installed inside the mixing tank, mixing blades fixedly installed on the mixing shaft, the mixing shaft being driven by a motor installed on the mixing tank, a water inlet provided at the top of the mixing tank and connected to a water tank, an annular pipe installed at the upper part of the mixing tank and connected to the water inlet, a plurality of nozzles facing the tank wall being installed on the annular pipe, a cleaning brush slidably connected inside the mixing blades, and an adjusting device connected to the cleaning brush for controlling the extension or retraction of the cleaning brush.
[0006] With this solution, when it is necessary to clean the residue of the collector on the wall of the mixing tank, the cleaning liquid in the water tank enters the annular pipe through the water inlet at the top of the mixing tank, and then is evenly sprayed onto the tank wall through the nozzle on the annular pipe. Then, under the action of the adjustment device, the cleaning brush extends the mixing blades to contact the tank wall, and the rotating mixing shaft cleans the residue on the tank wall, which greatly improves the efficiency of the cleaning of the collector mixture, eliminates the need for manual cleaning, and saves labor costs.
[0007] Preferably, the adjusting device includes an inner rod, a steel wire rope, a connecting plate, a spring, and a limiting plate. The inner rod is coaxially disposed inside the stirring shaft and movably connected to the stirring shaft. One end of the steel wire rope is fixedly installed on the inner rod, and the other end passes through the limiting plate fixedly installed inside the stirring blade and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The connecting plate slides inside the stirring blade and is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush. The spring is fixedly installed between the connecting plate and the limiting plate.
[0008] With this solution, since the inner rod is sequentially connected to the wire rope, the limiting plate, the spring, the connecting plate, and the cleaning brush, when the inner rod rotates clockwise, the wire rope also rotates and wraps around the inner rod, pulling the connecting plate inward. This, in turn, causes the spring to contract inward and press against the limiting plate, ultimately placing the cleaning brush inside the mixing blades without affecting the normal mixing of the collector. When the inner rod rotates counterclockwise, the wire rope gradually loosens, and the spring applies a pushing force outward, pushing the cleaning brush out of the mixing blades to clean the residue on the tank wall. Thus, the tank wall can be cleaned immediately after mixing, making the cleaning method simple, efficient, and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0009] Preferably, the inner rod has multiple annular grooves, and one end of the wire rope is fixedly installed on the annular grooves.
[0010] With this solution, the wire rope is always wound along the annular groove, which can effectively limit the wire rope and prevent multiple wire ropes from getting tangled together, thus affecting the normal progress of the collector mixing and cleaning work.
[0011] Preferably, a drive device is connected to the inner rod, and the drive device is used to control the rotation of the inner rod.
[0012] This solution allows for the separate operation of the inner rod by using a drive device, enabling more effective control of the inner rod's movement by separating it from the stirring shaft.
[0013] Preferably, the driving device includes a first gear, a second gear, and a second motor. The first gear is coaxially sleeved on the inner rod, the second motor is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing tank, the drive shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the second gear, and the first gear meshes with the second gear.
[0014] With this solution, motor two drives gear two to rotate, the rotation of gear two drives the rotation of gear one, which in turn drives the rotation of the inner rod, thus realizing the extension and retraction of the cleaning brush, which is highly practical.
[0015] Preferably, the stirring shaft is connected to the inner rod bearing, and the stirring shaft has an opening, at which the gear is disposed.
[0016] The design of the opening on the stirring shaft not only makes it easier for gear two to drive gear one to rotate, but also limits the rotation range of gear one, thus meeting the requirements for the use of the cleaning brush.
[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the mixing tank is provided with a discharge port.
[0018] With this solution, the discharge port is located at the bottom of the mixing tank, which not only facilitates the rapid discharge of the collector after mixing, but also allows for the timely discharge of cleaning wastewater from the mixing tank, thus improving cleaning efficiency.
[0019] The technical advantage of this invention is that the collector mixing and cleaning device achieves automated cleaning of residues on the barrel wall, replacing the traditional manual cleaning method, greatly reducing the workload of workers, saving labor costs, improving the cleaning efficiency of collector residues, and ensuring the smooth progress of collector mixing.

[0034] Example
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the collector mixing and cleaning device in this embodiment includes a mixing tank 1, a mixing shaft 2 installed inside the mixing tank 1, a mixing blade 3 fixedly installed on the mixing shaft 2, the mixing shaft 2 being driven and connected to a motor 4 installed on the top of the mixing tank 1, a water inlet 5 provided on the top of the mixing tank 1, a feed inlet 16 provided on the mixing tank 1, the water inlet 5 being connected to a water tank 6 through a connecting pipe 17, a water pump 18 being installed at the water inlet 5, an annular pipe 7 being installed on the upper part of the mixing tank 1, the annular pipe 7 being connected to the connecting pipe 17, a plurality of nozzles 8 being installed on the annular pipe 7 facing the tank wall of the mixing tank 1, the nozzles 8 being evenly distributed, a cleaning brush 9 being slidably connected inside the mixing blade 3, the cleaning brush 9 in this embodiment being a wire brush, an adjusting device 10 being connected to the cleaning brush 9, the adjusting device 10 being used to control the extension or retraction of the cleaning brush 9.
[0036] When it is necessary to clean the residue of the collector on the wall of the mixing tank 1, the cleaning liquid in the water tank 6 enters the annular pipe 7 through the water inlet 5 at the top of the mixing tank 1, and then is evenly sprayed onto the tank wall through the nozzle 8 on the annular pipe 7. Then, under the action of the regulating device 10, the cleaning brush 9 extends out of the mixing blade 3 and touches the tank wall, and the mixing shaft 2 rotates to clean the residue on the tank wall, which greatly improves the efficiency of the collector mixing and cleaning, eliminates the need for manual cleaning, and saves labor costs.
[0037] Furthermore, the adjusting device 10 includes an inner rod 101, a steel wire rope 102, a connecting plate 103, a spring 104, and a limiting plate 105. The inner rod 101 is coaxially disposed inside the stirring shaft 2 and movably connected to the stirring shaft 2. One end of the steel wire rope 102 is fixedly installed on the inner rod 101, and the other end passes through the limiting plate 105 fixedly installed inside the stirring blade 3 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 103. The connecting plate 103 slides inside the stirring blade 3 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 9. The spring 104 is fixedly installed between the connecting plate 103 and the limiting plate 105. In this embodiment, both ends of the connecting plate 103 are connected to the steel wire rope 102, which enhances the stability and firmness of the steel wire rope 102 during the pulling process.
[0038] Since the inner rod 101 is connected in sequence to the wire rope 102, the limiting plate 105, the spring 104, the connecting plate 103, and the cleaning brush 9, when the inner rod 101 rotates clockwise, the wire rope 102 will also rotate and wrap around the inner rod 101, thereby pulling the connecting plate 103 inward and causing the spring 104 to contract inward and abut against the limiting plate 105. Ultimately, the cleaning brush 9 is placed inside the stirring blade 3, without affecting the normal operation of the collector stirring. When the inner rod 101 rotates counterclockwise, the wire rope 102 gradually loosens, and the spring 104 applies a pushing force outward, thereby pushing the cleaning brush 9 out of the stirring blade 3 to clean the residue on the barrel wall. In this way, the barrel wall can be cleaned after the mixing is completed. The cleaning method is simple and efficient, improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0039] Furthermore, the inner rod 101 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 11, and one end of the wire rope 102 is fixedly installed on the annular groove 11. The wire rope 102 is always wound along the annular groove 11, which can play a good limiting effect on the wire rope 102 and prevent multiple wire ropes 102 from getting tangled together, thus affecting the normal progress of the collector mixing and cleaning work.
[0040] Furthermore, a driving device is connected to the inner rod 101, which is used to control the rotation of the inner rod 101.
[0041] Using a separate drive device to rotate the inner rod 101 allows the inner rod 101 to operate separately from the stirring shaft 2, enabling more effective control of the movement of the inner rod 101.
[0042] Furthermore, the driving device includes a first gear 12, a second gear 13, and a second motor 14. The first gear 12 is coaxially sleeved on the inner rod 101. The second motor 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing tank 1. The drive shaft of the second motor 14 is fixedly connected to the second gear 13. The first gear 12 meshes with the second gear 13.
[0043] Motor 2 14 drives gear 2 13 to rotate, and the rotation of gear 2 13 drives the rotation of gear 1 12, which in turn drives the rotation of inner rod 101, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of cleaning brush 9, which is highly practical.
[0044] Furthermore, the stirring shaft 2 is connected to the inner rod 101 bearing, and the stirring shaft 2 is provided with an opening, at which the gear 12 is provided.
[0045] The open design on the stirring shaft 2 makes it easier for gear 2 13 to drive gear 1 12 to rotate, thus meeting the requirements for using the cleaning brush.
[0046] Furthermore, the bottom of the mixing tank 1 is provided with a discharge port 15, which not only facilitates the rapid discharge of the collector after mixing, but also enables the timely discharge of cleaning wastewater from the mixing tank 1, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.
[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0048] When the collector is mixed and the residue on the wall of the mixing tank 1 needs to be cleaned, the water pump 18 is started to draw the cleaning liquid mixed with detergent in the water tank 6 into the annular pipe 7 through the connecting pipe 17, and then spray it onto the tank wall through the nozzle 8. Then the motor 14 is started to drive the gear 13 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the gear 12 and the inner rod 101 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the wire rope 102 gradually loosens under the rotation of the inner rod 101, and the spring 104 in the compressed state applies a thrust outward, which pushes the cleaning brush 9 to extend the stirring blade 3 and abut against the tank wall. Then the motor 4 is started to drive the stirring shaft 2 to rotate, which finally drives the cleaning brush 9 to rotate, completing the cleaning of the residue on the tank wall. The cleaned wastewater is discharged through the discharge port 15.
[0049] The technical effect of this utility model embodiment is that the collector mixing and cleaning device realizes the automated cleaning of residues on the barrel wall, replacing the traditional manual cleaning method, greatly reducing the workload of workers, saving labor costs, improving the cleaning efficiency of collector residues, and ensuring the smooth progress of collector mixing work.
