Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ore dressing, particularly to a slag slurry pump constant discharging system which is beneficial to the stability of the flotation liquid level. BACKGROUND

[0002] Flotation is an important method of mineral separation. After the useful minerals and waste rocks are separated and meet the suitable particle size of the flotation equipment, the ore is adjusted to a certain concentration of slurry, which is fully mixed with flotation reagents in the agitation tank and then sent to the flotation machine. Through the air suction and agitation of the flotation machine, the target minerals adhere to the bubbles and move upward to form a mineralized froth layer on the surface of the slurry. The froth layer is scraped out by the scraper to become the froth product (concentrate), while the non-froth product is discharged from the tank bottom.

[0003] In the production of ore dressing in mines, in order to ensure the normal operation of flotation, the flotation liquid level is usually controlled within a reasonable range to ensure that the scraper can scrape out the mineralized froth layer. If the flotation liquid level is too high, the slurry and the mineralized froth layer will be scraped out together, resulting in "run-off" phenomenon. If the flotation liquid level is too low, the mineralized froth layer cannot be scraped out, resulting in "sink" phenomenon. Both "run-off" and "sink" phenomena will disrupt the flotation process and cause the quality and recovery rate of mineral products to decrease.

[0004] In the traditional flotation liquid level control method, the discharge valve of the flotation tank is often manually adjusted to control the height of the flotation liquid level. This method often has problems such as untimely adjustment and high labor intensity. In recent years, with the development of intelligent mine production technology, an automatic liquid level control system has been integrated into the flotation machine, which has preliminarily realized the automatic control of the liquid level of the flotation machine. Intelligent flotation liquid level control is usually achieved by comparing the detected flotation liquid level height with the standard value and controlling the opening and closing of the tailings valve of the flotation tank through the operator. The biggest problem of this automatic liquid level control technology is that it does not solve the stability problem of the flotation feed slurry, which makes the automatic control valve open and close frequently, causing the service life of the valve to be shortened.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] As Figure 1 The utility model provides a technical scheme:

[0027] A kind of slurry pump 32 constant discharge system of being beneficial to float liquid level stability, it at least includes but is not limited to feed pipe 1, storage pool 2, discharge pipe 3, flotation tank 4 and PID operator 5;Feed pipe 1 is connected with storage pool 2, storage pool 2 is connected with flotation tank 4 by discharge pipe 3, backflow pipe 6 is also provided between discharge pipe 3 and storage pool 2, auxiliary pipe 7 is also connected on storage pool 2, auxiliary pipe 7 is connected with external water source, detection assembly is provided on discharge pipe 3 and feed pipe 1, the acquisition end of PID operator 5 is connected with detection assembly, and the control end of PID operator 5 is connected with valve on backflow pipe 6 and auxiliary pipe 7.

[0028] Based on the above structure, in the present scheme, the flow of the ore slurry from the upstream into the storage pool 2 and the flow of the ore slurry from the discharge pipe 3 into the flotation tank 4 can be detected by the detection assembly. When the upstream ore slurry flow Q1 decreases and causes the discharge pipe 3 flow Q2 to fluctuate, the PID operator 5 controls the auxiliary pipe 7 to open for water replenishment operation. At this time, the backflow pipe 6 is in a short-circuit state until the discharge flow value of the discharge pipe 3 reaches the operating standard value. The operating standard value is the average value within a certain time when the system is normally operating. When the upstream ore slurry flow Q1 increases and causes the discharge pipe 3 flow Q2 to fluctuate, the PID operator 5 controls the backflow pipe 6 to open for backflow operation. At this time, the auxiliary pipe 7 is closed until the discharge flow value of the discharge pipe 3 reaches the operating standard value. Through the present scheme, dynamic balance of the discharge flow and the feed flow can be achieved, and the problem of large fluctuation of the flotation liquid level caused by unstable feeding of the flotation ore slurry is solved.

[0029] As an example, the backflow pipeline 6 can include a backflow flowmeter 61 and a first electric valve 62, which are sequentially arranged along the liquid flow direction.

[0030] Based on the above structure, the backflow flowmeter 61 can measure the flow size of the backflow in the backflow pipeline 6, and the first electric valve 62 provides the backflow pipeline 6 with backflow power. When the upstream self-flowing ore slurry flow Q1 increases to cause the fluctuation of the discharge pipeline 3 flow Q2, the PID operator 5 controls the backflow pipeline 6 to start backflow operation, and the ore slurry is temporarily stored in the storage pool 2 and accurately transported to the flotation tank 4 through the pump body on the discharge pipe.

[0031] As an example, the auxiliary pipeline 7 can include a water inlet flowmeter 71 and a second electric valve 72, which are sequentially arranged along the liquid flow direction.

[0032] Based on the above structure, the water inlet flowmeter 71 can measure the flow size of the water entering the storage pool 2 from the external water source, and the second electric valve 72 provides power for the auxiliary pipeline 7.

[0033] As an example, a feeding ore slurry flowmeter 11 can be arranged on the feeding pipeline 1, which is connected to the collection end of the PID operator 5 through a cable.

[0034] Based on the above structure, the feeding ore slurry flowmeter 11 can detect the ore slurry flow from the upstream and transmit the detected data to the PID operator 5 for internal comparison.

[0035] As an example, a discharge ore slurry flowmeter 31 can be arranged on the discharge pipeline 3, which is connected to the collection end of the PID operator 5 through a cable.

[0036] Based on the above structure, the discharge ore slurry flowmeter 31 can detect the ore slurry flow from the storage pool 2 into the flotation tank 4 and transmit the detected data to the PID operator 5 for internal comparison.

[0037] As an example, a slurry pump 32 is further arranged on the discharge pipeline 3, which is connected to the control end of the PID operator 5 through a cable.

[0038] Based on the above structure, the slurry pump 32 provides power for the discharge pipeline 3, and the PID operator 5 can control the slurry pump 32.

[0039] As an example, the slurry pump 32 is a variable frequency pump, and the PID operator 5 can control the working frequency of the slurry pump 32.

[0040] Based on the above structure, the control of the frequency of the slag slurry pump 32 realizes the control of the flow of the discharge pipeline 3.

[0041] As an example, the sampling end of the PID operator 5 is connected with the back slurry flow meter 61, the water inlet flow meter 71, the feed ore slurry flow meter 11 and the discharge ore slurry flow meter 31 respectively, and the control end of the PID operator 5 is connected with the first electric valve 62, the second electric valve 72 and the slag slurry pump 32 respectively.

[0042] The second electric valve 72 can be a high-pressure water electric valve.

[0043] The principle of the scheme is that the feed amount Q1+ the correction amount q= the discharge amount Q2. In order to ensure that the flotation feed ore slurry is constant, the slag slurry pump 32 discharge control system is innovatively introduced, the automatic controller is used to collect the storage tank, the variable frequency slag slurry pump 32, the feed ore slurry flow meter 11, the discharge ore slurry flow meter 31, the back slurry electric valve and the high-pressure water electric valve into an organic whole, so that the constant discharge ore slurry of the slag slurry pump 32 is realized, and good conditions for the flotation liquid level stability are created.

[0044] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
