TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ball mill equipment, and particularly relates to a ball mill feeding structure capable of preventing slurry backflow. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the conventional feeding structure of the ball mill, there are some problems difficult to overcome. Generally, when the ball mill grinds raw materials, the raw materials need to be delivered to the inside of the ball mill in the form of slurry. However, in this process, due to the change of the pressure in the system, the inertia when the equipment starts and stops, and the complexity of the process, the phenomenon of slurry backflow often occurs. The backflow of the slurry will cause many adverse effects on the whole production system.
[0003] For the related technologies in the above, the inventor finds that the existing device only relies on a simple pipeline design and has no special backflow prevention mechanism, which makes the slurry easily backflow in the process of equipment operation once the pressure fluctuates, the equipment starts and stops or other abnormal conditions occur. When the ball mill stops running, due to the lack of an effective one-way flow control device, the pressure difference between the upstream and downstream causes the slurry to flow backward and impact the upstream equipment. This backflow will damage the raw material bin and the conveying equipment, and will affect the normal operation of the equipment at the next start, cause the system to be unstable, and reduce the overall performance and service life of the equipment.

[0031] It needs to be further explained that:
[0032] Prevent backflow and control flow direction: The primary function of the anti-backflow mechanism 5 is to prevent backflow of the slurry. Among them, the check valve 512 plays a key role, which allows the slurry to pass smoothly in the specified flow direction and automatically closes when there is a tendency for backflow, ensuring that the slurry can only enter the ball mill body 2 or subsequent processes in the predetermined path, and will not flow in reverse. When the ball mill is running, due to pressure fluctuations or shutdown, etc., the slurry may backflow, and the check valve 512 can prevent this from happening, ensuring the normal operation of upstream equipment such as the raw material bin 3 and the slurry circulation assembly 4. At the same time, the flow guide pipe 513 can reasonably guide the flow direction of the slurry, and the slurry flowing out of the overflow chamber shell 510 is introduced into the waste slurry collection bin 405, realizing orderly control of the flow direction of the slurry.
[0033] Adjust and stabilize system pressure: The overflow chamber shell 510 and pressure relief hole 511 in the mechanism can adjust and stabilize the pressure in the system. When the ball mill is working, different pressure changes will occur inside the system, and excessive pressure will cause damage to the equipment. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the excess pressure will be released through the pressure relief hole 511, avoiding the damage or failure of the equipment caused by excessive pressure in the system. This pressure adjustment mechanism ensures that the ball mill feed structure can operate stably within a safe pressure range, reducing the risk of equipment downtime and damage caused by sudden pressure changes, and prolonging the service life of the equipment.
[0034] Adjust flow and ensure sealing: The adjustment pipe 502 and the flow limiting plate 504 cooperate to adjust the flow of the slurry according to production needs. The operator can control the effective flow area of the inlet hole 503 by adjusting the position of the flow limiting plate 504 in the adjustment pipe 502, thereby adjusting the flow of the slurry to meet the production requirements under different working conditions. In addition, components such as the sealing plate 505, the ball mill sealing pipe 509, and the overflow chamber sealing side plate 507 ensure the sealing of the system to prevent slurry leakage. This not only avoids waste of slurry and pollution to the environment, but also ensures the stability of the pressure in the system, enabling the entire feed structure to operate efficiently and avoiding performance degradation and reduced production efficiency caused by leakage.
[0035] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:
[0036] First, the raw material bin 3 stores the raw materials to be processed, and the raw materials exist in the form of slurry. During operation, the slurry in the raw material bin 3 enters the booster pump 402 through the first liquid inlet pipe 401. The booster pump 402 increases the pressure of the slurry, and then delivers the pressurized slurry to the booster bin 403. The booster bin 403 serves as an intermediate buffer area to store the pressurized slurry, maintaining a certain pressure and flow rate for stable subsequent processes.
[0037] Secondly, the slurry in the pressurized bin 403 enters the first adapter pipe 501 of the anti-backflow mechanism 5 through the second liquid inlet pipe 404. In the anti-backflow mechanism 5, the slurry will pass through the adjusting pipe 502, the main liquid inlet pipe 506 and other components in sequence. Among them, the adjusting pipe 502 can adjust the flow of the slurry by adjusting the position of the flow limiting plate 504 to change the effective flow area of the liquid inlet hole 503, so as to meet different production needs. At the same time, the sealing plate 505, the overflow cavity sealing side plate 507 and other components ensure the sealing of the slurry to prevent leakage.
[0038] Finally, when the slurry flows in the system, the one-way valve 512 ensures that the slurry can only flow in one direction to avoid backflow. If the pressure in the system is too high, the pressure relief hole 511 of the overflow cavity shell 510 will play a role in pressure relief to prevent the system from being damaged due to excessive pressure. And the slurry overflowing from the inside of the ball mill body 2 will flow into the waste slurry collection bin 405 through the flow guide pipe 513, enter the elevator 407 through the first liquid outlet pipe 406, and then be lifted and sent back to the pressurized bin 403 by the elevator 407 through the second liquid outlet pipe 408, realizing the recycling of waste slurry and making the slurry form a complete circulation loop in the system.
[0039] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
