Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated recycling technology for polymetallic mineral tailings, specifically to an intelligent equipment for material batching and feeding. Background Technology
[0002] Polymetallic mineral tailings contain large amounts of sulfates. On the one hand, lead sulfate has a high smelting temperature; on the other hand, it contains lead oxides in different valence states. Without proper recycling and effective utilization, it easily creates new sources of pollution such as lead dust and sulfur dioxide, and leads to further waste of resources. Therefore, the selection of treatment technologies is not only about reducing costs and improving quality, but also about providing a strong guarantee for environmental protection, pollution control, and sustainable development. Currently, the main processes for recovering polymetallic mineral tailings include pyrometallurgical methods, hydrometallurgical methods, and combined beneficiation and smelting methods.
[0003] Pyrometallurgical technology is a method of obtaining rare and precious metals by adding reducing agents such as carbon powder and iron filings, and using specialized furnace types such as reverberatory furnaces, rotary furnaces, and blast furnaces for smelting. There are two main methods for pyrometallurgical smelting: one is to directly smelt mineral tailings, and the other is to convert them into carbonates or hydroxides for smelting.
[0004] Traditional pyrometallurgical processes suffer from problems such as unreasonable material ratios, untimely feeding, and inaccurate control of feeding amounts. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problems of unreasonable material proportioning, untimely feeding, and inaccurate feeding control in existing pyrometallurgical technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent equipment for material batching and feeding.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the intelligent material batching and feeding equipment provided by this utility model, the feed inlet of the roller screen is located below the discharge outlet of the first silo, and the discharge outlet is located above the feed inlet of the first weighing belt conveyor; the discharge outlet of the first weighing belt conveyor is located above the main belt conveyor; the feed inlet of the vibrating feeder is located below the discharge outlet of the second silo, and the discharge outlet is located above the feed inlet of the second weighing belt conveyor; the discharge outlet of the second weighing belt conveyor is located above the main belt conveyor.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the intelligent equipment for material batching and feeding provided by this utility model, both the discharge port of the first silo and the discharge port of the second silo are equipped with pallet gate valves.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the intelligent material batching and feeding equipment provided by this utility model, a PLC control device is further provided. The PLC control device is electrically connected to the main belt conveyor, the roller screening machine, the first weighing belt conveyor, the return conveyor belt, the vibrating feeder, the second weighing belt conveyor, and the jaw gate valve.

[0016] Compared to existing technologies, the intelligent material batching and feeding equipment provided by this utility model, through the setting of the roller screen and the vibrating feeder, achieves uniform feeding, which also improves the metering accuracy of the first and second weighing belt conveyors. By using the first or second feeding device to feed and batch different materials in different ways, the feeding is more timely and the feeding amount is easier to control. The pallet gate valve can control the material falling. Each pallet gate valve can be controlled individually or in conjunction with others, playing a very important role in normal operation, shutdown, or fault repair. Coke and lumpy polymetallic materials are separated into small particles smaller than 3 cm by the roller screen to meet the minimum particle size requirements of the furnace feed material. Dust is collected and the air is purified by the cooperation of the dust suction port, the negative pressure fan, and the bag filter. Through PLC control, the timing, quantity, and ratio are controllable, and the flexible human-machine switching mode can achieve efficient and accurate batching and feeding.
