Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon carbide particle pretreatment technology, specifically a silicon carbide airflow milling system. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon carbide, an inorganic compound with the chemical formula SiC, is produced by smelting raw materials such as quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), and sawdust (salt needs to be added when producing green silicon carbide) at high temperatures in an electric resistance furnace. Silicon carbide is a semiconductor that exists in nature in the form of the extremely rare mineral moissanite.
[0003] Silicon carbide is typically crushed using a jaw crusher and then fed into an air jet mill for grinding. To address the requirements of high-performance silicon carbide ceramic products for high purity (SiC ≥ 98%), low impurities (Cf < 0.1%, Fe2O3 < 0.1%, magnetic content < 0.01%), and high mesh size (≥ 1500) of silicon carbide powder, this paper addresses the challenges of controlling mesh size and impurity content during the current silicon carbide fine powder preparation process. Furthermore, meeting these requirements often involves chemical methods for impurity removal, resulting in poor grinding efficiency, high costs, and environmental impact. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This silicon carbide air classifier system utilizes a two-stage crushing method—a jaw crusher followed by a Barmac double crusher—to better control the size of silicon carbide particles. An ultrasonic screener further ensures uniform particle size input to the air classifier, thus improving grinding efficiency. Coarse material screened by the ultrasonic screener is then transported back to the previous process via a pneumatic conveying pipeline, achieving coarse material recirculation and reprocessing, further enhancing particle size control. Simultaneously, a purification and sorting system is integrated to improve product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Please see Figure 1In this embodiment of the present invention, a silicon carbide airflow milling system includes a jaw crusher 1 and an airflow mill 7. The discharge end of the jaw crusher 1 is equipped with a Barmac double crusher 3, and the discharge end of the Barmac double crusher 3 is equipped with an ultrasonic screener 4. The fine material output end of the ultrasonic screener 4 is sent to a purification and sorting system. The fine material output from the purification and sorting system enters the airflow mill 7 for grinding. Through the primary crushing method of the jaw crusher 1 and the secondary crushing method of the Barmac double crusher 3, the silicon carbide blocks are crushed into granules to reduce the range of particle size unevenness and determine the minimum particle size fluctuation range, so that the fluctuation is controlled from the original 0-10mm to within 0-3mm, reducing the impurity content of the granules and providing the basic conditions for high-quality grinding.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the impurity removal and sorting system includes a vibrating conveyor 5, a magnetic separator 6, and a dust collection pipeline 13. The fine material output end of the ultrasonic screening machine 4 is connected to the feed inlet of the vibrating conveyor 5, and the output end of the vibrating conveyor 5 is connected to the feed inlet of the magnetic separator 6. A dust collection pipeline 13 is installed above the discharge port of the vibrating conveyor 5. The dust collection pipeline 13 is equipped with a fan. Under the action of the fan, the dust collection pipeline 13 recovers the dust generated by the vibration inside the vibrating conveyor 5 and performs preliminary dust removal. The dust then enters the magnetic separator 6 for magnetic separation and screening. The magnetic separator 6 is a prior art technology. Minerals are divided into strongly magnetic minerals, weakly magnetic minerals, and non-magnetic minerals. Magnetic separation is a mineral processing method that separates minerals in an uneven magnetic field based on the differences in the magnetic properties of minerals in the ore, separating impurities and silicon carbide.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic separator 6 is provided with a magnetic material output end and a non-magnetic material output end. The magnetic material output end is provided with a waste discharge pipeline 11. The non-magnetic material output end of the waste discharge pipeline 11 is connected to the feed port of the air jet mill 7. Since silicon carbide does not have magnetic separation, the magnetic separator 6 can separate silicon carbide from magnetic impurities such as iron and cobalt.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the air classifier mill 7 is equipped with an air compressor 10, a cyclone collector 8, a bag filter 9, and an exhaust duct 12. The air inlet of the air classifier mill 7 is connected to the air compressor 10 via the duct, and the discharge port of the air classifier mill 7 is connected to the cyclone collector 8. The air output end of the cyclone collector 8 is connected to the bag filter 9. The bag filter 9 is equipped with an exhaust duct 12. The air compressor 10 provides air pressure. The characteristic of the mill is that the material is injected into the mill through a nozzle or other means using gas (compressed air or heated steam) as the energy carrier. After the airflow is injected, the material generates high-speed (in many cases, exceeding the speed of sound) motion due to pressure reduction or other reasons.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge end of the jaw crusher 1 is provided with a Barmac double crusher 3 and a transfer chamber a2 is provided between them. The bottom of the transfer chamber a2 is a feeder. The transfer chamber a2 has two functions: first, to control the feeding speed, and second, to collect the screened coarse material.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the coarse material output end of the ultrasonic screening machine 4 is provided with a transfer chamber b14. The dust suction line 13 is connected to the output end of the transfer chamber b14 and the air conveying line 15 through a three-way pipe. The other end of the air conveying line 15 is connected to the transfer chamber a2. The coarse material enters from the top of the three-way pipe, and the airflow blows the coarse material falling into the three-way pipe into the air conveying line 15, and then into the transfer chamber a2 through the air conveying line 15, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the particle size of the raw materials.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the transfer chamber a2 is connected to the air inlet of the bag filter 9 via an airflow pipeline 16. The recovered airflow contains silicon carbide powder and enters the bag filter 9 for recycling through the airflow pipeline 16.
[0024] It should be noted that all the above embodiments belong to the same utility model concept, and the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. Where the description in a particular embodiment is not detailed, please refer to the description in other embodiments.
[0025] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
