Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present scheme belongs to the technical field of flotation machines, and particularly relates to a flotation machine tailing liquid level control box. BACKGROUND

[0002] The flotation machine liquid level measurement and control system is composed of an ore pulp liquid level measuring device, a liquid level control box and a pneumatic regulating valve. It is used for automatically controlling the liquid level of each flotation operation to ensure stable operation, effectively improve the concentrate grade and recovery rate, and meet the process index requirements.

[0003] The flotation machine liquid level automatic control system is composed of a liquid level measuring device, a liquid level controller and a pneumatic regulating valve. The liquid level controller controls the liquid level pneumatic regulating valve based on the liquid level measurement value transmitted by the liquid level measuring device and the liquid level set value of the operator, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the liquid level. The electric regulating valve control system is composed of an electric actuator, a cone valve and a control part. The system is an auxiliary system of the liquid level automatic control system. When the liquid level automatic control system is maintained or fails, the electric regulating valve control system can be used for manual control of the ore discharge amount of the (tail) ore tank.

[0004] Referring to the existing document (announcement) No. CN207514258U, a flotation liquid level precise control device is disclosed, which comprises a conical valve core, a conical valve base, a driving mechanism, the conical valve core is a truncated cone structure and the bottom is connected with the driving mechanism through a connecting rod, the conical valve base is a flange structure and the center is provided with a conical hole matched with the truncated cone of the conical valve core, the bottom outer edge of the conical valve base is provided with a through hole or a screw hole in the axial direction, and the conical valve base is fixedly connected with the flotation device through the bolts passing through the through hole or the screw hole.

[0005] The above-mentioned flotation device changes the conical valve base from a straight pipe shape to a corresponding conical sleeve structure, so as to play a drainage role on the ore sand accumulated at the bottom of the intermediate tank to avoid blockage. However, since the cone valve is usually installed at the discharge port of the flotation column or the tailing tank and the intermediate tank of the flotation machine, the solid particles in the ore pulp deposit at the bottom of the tank, which causes the tailing tank and the intermediate tank to easily deposit and block the ore pulp during use, the ore pulp flows not smoothly, and the flotation efficiency is affected. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0006] The purpose of the present scheme is to provide a flotation machine tailing liquid level control box to solve the problem of poor ore pulp flow in the tailing tank of the existing flotation machine.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the scheme provides a flotation machine tailings liquid level control box, which comprises a hollow control box body, the top of the control box body is provided with an opening, the back of the control box body is provided with a pulp inlet, the pulp inlet is rectangular, the front of the control box body is provided with a pulp outlet, the pulp outlet is higher than the pulp inlet, and the diameter of the pulp inlet is larger than that of the pulp outlet.

[0008] The principle of the scheme is that the cone valve spool of the control valve control system enters the control box through the opening at the top of the control box. Since the rectangular pulp inlet at the back of the control box has a large diameter, the resistance of the pulp flowing in can be reduced. The pulp outlet at the front is higher than the pulp inlet and has a smaller diameter, so that the cross-sectional area of the pulp inlet is larger than that of the pulp outlet. The pulp forms a certain liquid level difference in the box body, promoting the smooth flow of the pulp, thereby avoiding the deposition and blockage of the pulp at the bottom of the box body, and improving the fluidity and flotation efficiency of the pulp.

[0009] The effect of the scheme is that the pulp can flow more smoothly by setting the pulp inlet and the pulp outlet of the control box, avoiding the deposition and blockage of the pulp at the bottom of the box body, thereby improving the fluidity and flotation efficiency of the pulp.

[0010] Further, the pulp outlet is connected with a flange connector.

[0011] The principle and effect of the scheme are that the flange connector is connected with the pulp outlet, so that the control box can be connected with the external pipeline, thereby transferring the pulp to the next process.

[0012] Further, the control box body is provided with a rubber lining.

[0013] The principle and effect of the scheme are that the rubber lining is arranged to reduce the corrosion of the control box by the corrosive medium in the pulp.

[0014] Further, the side wall of the control box body is provided with a connecting lug.

[0015] The principle and effect of the scheme are that the connecting lug is arranged to fix and install the control box at a predetermined position.

[0016] Further, the top of the control box body is provided with a support frame, and the support frame is used to fix the control valve control system.

[0017] The principle and effect of the scheme are that the support frame is arranged to facilitate the installation of the control valve control system.

[0018] Further, the control valve control system comprises a cone valve spool and a cone valve valve base, the cone valve valve base is fixedly arranged in the control box body, the cone valve spool is movably arranged in the control box body and cooperates with the cone valve valve base, the cone valve spool is connected with a movable rod, and the movable rod is connected with a driving assembly for driving the movable rod up and down.

[0019] The principle and effect of the present scheme are that the movable rod is driven to move up and down by the driving assembly, the cone valve core is driven to move synchronously, the flow area between the cone valve core and the cone valve base is changed, and the flow of the ore pulp is adjusted.

[0020] Further, the cleaning assembly is arranged in the control box body, the cleaning assembly comprises a threaded pipe and a plug, the threaded pipe is arranged on the outer wall of the movable rod, one end of the threaded pipe is rotatably connected with the movable rod, and the other end of the threaded pipe is fixedly connected with the movable rod, the plug is arranged in the control box body, and the plug is arranged in cooperation with the threaded pipe.

[0021] The principle and effect of the present scheme are that the solid particles in the ore pulp are easily deposited on the valve base due to the decrease of flow speed or the change of flow direction when the ore pulp flows through the cone valve base. The deposited sand changes the cooperation between the cone valve core and the valve base. Therefore, when the cone valve core moves towards the cone valve base and approaches the cone valve base, the plug cooperates with the threaded pipe, the plug provides guidance for the rotation of the threaded pipe, the threaded pipe can drive the cone valve core to rotate, the deposited sand on the cone valve base is disturbed, the deposited sand is prevented from being accumulated in the valve base, and the cooperation between the cone valve core and the valve base is affected.

[0022] Further, the reset assembly is arranged in the control box body, the reset assembly comprises a reset spring and a support rod, the support rod is fixedly arranged in the control box body, the reset spring is arranged on the support rod, one end of the reset spring is fixedly connected with the plug, and the other end of the reset spring is fixedly connected with the control box body.

[0023] The principle and effect of the present scheme are that the general cone valve adopts a cylinder provided with a positioner to control the opening degree, the cylinder is provided with an air compressor to provide power for the up-and-down movement, but in the case that the equipment suddenly stops, the air compressor stops working, the cylinder cannot apply power to the cone valve, the cone valve core stays in the ore pulp, and cannot be reset in the valve base, so that the ore pulp leaks. In order to avoid this situation, a manual driving assembly is generally used, but workers need to be on site all the time, and the cone valve core cannot be closed in the first time. In the present scheme, the movable rod normally moves up and down under the driving of the driving assembly, the pre-tightening force of the reset spring is overcome, and the opening degree of the cone valve core can be normally adjusted. After the equipment stops, the pre-tightening force of the reset spring drives the plug to reset to the initial position, the threaded pipe rotates to the initial position, and the valve core of the cone valve is reset to the valve base.

[0024] Further, the plug is slidably arranged on the outer wall of the support rod.

[0025] The principle and effect of the present scheme are that the support rod is used for guiding the movement of the plug.

[0026] Further, the inner wall of the control box body is provided with a guide groove, and the bolt is in sliding connection with the guide groove.

[0027] The principle and effects of the present application are that the guide groove is used for providing positioning and guiding for the movement of the bolt, thereby avoiding dislocation of the bolt. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
