AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

With the increase in equipment size, the diameter of the circular flotation tank is too large, and the conveying distance of the foam carrying the concentrate is too long, which slows down the movement speed of the foam and increases the possibility of bubble collapse. This causes valuable minerals to sink to the bottom of the flotation tank and be lost along with the tailings. The multiple conveying channels affect the stability of the foam flow, and the excessive flow paths increase the residence time of the foam in the sluice, causing the foam to collapse and settle, and it cannot be efficiently conveyed to the main flotation tank.

Method used

A central foam tank was designed, comprising a first half foam tank, a second half foam tank, a sealing gasket, and a limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism prevents bolts from loosening, reduces the residence time of foam in the flotation tank, improves foam recovery rate, and reduces foam conveying distance.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces the residence time of foam in the flotation tank, improves the foam recovery rate, ensures stable delivery of foam to the main foam tank, and improves flotation efficiency.

A slider 72 is slidably connected inside the annular groove 71. A support ring 73 is fixedly connected to the end of the slider 72 away from the annular groove 71. A pull rod 74 is fixedly connected to the side of the support ring 73 away from the slider 72. A handle 75 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 74 away from the support ring 73. By designing the handle 75, the pull rod 74 can be moved. A connecting seat 76 is provided on the first half foam tank 2 and the second half foam tank 3. A connecting seat 76 is provided on the first sealing gasket 4 and the second sealing gasket 5. A pull rod 74 is slidably connected inside the connecting seat 76.

[0022] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: Before using the device, pull the handle 75 to move away from the connecting seat 76. The movement of the handle 75 drives the pull rod 74 to move. The movement of the pull rod 74 drives the support ring 73 and the slot 710 to move. The movement of the slot 710 causes misalignment with the locking block 711, thereby causing the locking block 711 to move towards the elastic sponge 714. The movement of the locking block 711 drives the sliding groove 712 to move. The movement of the locking block 711 compresses the elastic sponge 714. The movement of the support ring 73 drives the guide block 79 and the slider 72 to move. The movement of the support ring 73 causes the spring 714 to move. 7. After the slider 72 is compressed and moved to the designated position, the bolt 6 is installed in the designated position on the device. Then, the handle 75 is released. The elastic force of the spring 77 pushes the support ring 73 to move. The movement of the support ring 73 drives the pull rod 74, slider 72 and slot 710 to move. After the slider 72 moves into the annular groove 71, the elastic force of the elastic sponge 714 pushes the locking block 711 to move. The locking block 711 moves into the slot 710, thereby limiting the pull rod 74 and thus limiting the bolt 6, preventing the bolt 6 on the device from loosening after long-term use.

[0023] This device collects foam into the sluice box in a timely manner, reducing the residence time of foam in the flotation tank and maximizing the foam recovery rate. The foam sluice box device fundamentally reduces the foam conveying distance to the edge of the sluice box, reduces the residence time of foam in the flotation tank, and maximizes the foam recovery rate. The internal foam pusher of the circular flotation machine and the external foam pusher cone of the tank body work together to push the foam towards the first half foam tank 2 and the second half foam tank 3, conveying all the rapidly floating and fully dissociated particles to the first half foam tank 2 and the second half foam tank 3.
