Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a coal slime buffer tank with surface modification function, belonging to the field of coal processing and utilization technology. Background Technology
[0002] Coal is a solid combustible mineral formed gradually from ancient plants buried underground through complex biochemical and physicochemical changes. Known as "black gold" and the "food of industry," coal has been one of the main energy sources used by humankind since the 18th century. Although its value has diminished considerably in the 21st century, it will remain an indispensable energy source for human production and daily life for a considerable period.
[0003] Coal production inevitably generates a large amount of coal slime, which needs to be transported to a coal slime buffer tank for storage in subsequent flotation processes. Conventional coal slime buffer tanks are round or square tanks, which only provide a large-capacity buffering function and do not treat the coal slime in any way. The coal slime in the buffer tank needs to be extracted to a coal slime conditioning equipment for further processing before it can enter the flotation stage, which increases the investment in coal slime conditioning equipment and civil engineering in the coal preparation plant's process flow. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a coal slime buffer tank with surface modification function. In view of the problem that conventional coal slime buffer tanks do not perform any treatment on the coal slime, a multi-stage scrubbing impeller is added inside the coal slime buffer tank to simplify the coal slime flotation process and improve the coal slime flotation efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0006] In the first aspect, this utility model provides a coal slime buffer tank with surface modification function, including an outer tank. The outer tank is axially fixedly connected from top to bottom to a sleeve stator frame and an inner tank. The top of the outer tank is fixedly connected to a geared motor through a frame. The output end of the geared motor is coaxially connected to a stirring impeller through a coupling. The stirring impeller is provided with two-stage scrubbing impellers, which are located in the sleeve stator frame and the inner tank, respectively.
[0007] Furthermore, the impeller includes an agitator shaft, and the agitator shaft is provided with an upper blade, a conical ring, a lower blade, a circular ring plate, radial blades and tangential blades from top to bottom. The upper blade, conical ring, lower blade and circular ring plate are all located in the sleeve stator frame, and the radial blades and tangential blades are all located in the inner barrel.
[0008] Furthermore, both the radial blades and the tangential blades are cuboids, with the radial blades positioned in the radial direction of the stirring shaft and the tangential blades forming an angle of 10° to 80° with the centerline of the stirring shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer barrel includes a straight barrel section and a conical barrel section. The upper part of the straight barrel section is provided with a first supporting steel frame and the middle part is provided with a second supporting steel frame. The side wall of the straight barrel section above the second supporting steel frame is provided with a feed pipe. The lower part of the conical barrel section is provided with a discharge pipe. Both the feed pipe and the discharge pipe are provided with flanges. The first supporting steel frame has bolt holes and is connected to the frame by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner barrel includes a conical section, a straight section, a feed pipe, and a connecting plate. The straight section has a feed pipe on its side wall. The number of feed pipes and the feed pipe are the same, the same diameter, and coaxial. The connecting plate has bolt holes and is connected to the second support steel frame by bolts. There is a gap of 0.1mm to 50mm between the feed pipes and the feed pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the sleeve stator frame is provided with a connecting flange, a straight pipe, a tapered pipe, stator blades and an annular plate from top to bottom. The connecting flange is provided with bolt holes and is connected to the first support steel frame by bolts. The straight pipe has a funnel-shaped agent tube on its side wall. The angle between the center line of the stator blades and the annular plate is 5° to 60°.
[0012] Furthermore, the angle between the upper edge of the upper blade and the center line of the stirring shaft is the same as the cone angle of the conical tube, and the angle between the lower edge of the upper blade and the center line of the stirring shaft is the same as the cone angle of the conical ring.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0014] I. This utility model integrates multiple stages of scrubbing impellers within the coal slime buffer tank, enabling the surface modification of coal slime to be completed within the buffer tank. This solves the problem that conventional coal slime buffer tanks do not perform any treatment on the coal slime, reducing investment in subsequent coal slime preparation equipment and civil engineering, simplifying the coal slime flotation process, and improving coal slime flotation efficiency.
[0015] II. This utility model uses a geared motor to sequentially drive the coupling and the agitator impeller to rotate. The coal slime slurry enters the inner tank through the feed pipe, and passes through the shearing blades and radial blades in sequence, which strongly scrubs the surface of the coal slime particles, completing the surface modification treatment of the coal particles. The coal slime slurry continues to move upward, passing through the lower blades and stator blades before being discharged into the outer tank. The flotation reagents and air enter the upper blades through the reagent pipe, and after being crushed and dispersed by the upper blades, they are discharged into the outer tank through the stator blades, realizing the functions of coal slime surface modification and flotation reagent crushing and dispersion.
