Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball mill steel ball technology, specifically a detachable and replaceable ball mill steel ball. Background Technology
[0002] Ball mill steel balls are key basic components in ball mill equipment used for grinding materials. Acting as grinding media, they rely on the collision and friction between the steel balls and between the steel balls and the material during ball mill operation to generate abrasive action, grinding the material into fine powder. Their working principle is based on their own impact force; when the impact energy exceeds the material's strength limit, the material is pulverized. Simultaneously, increasing the number of impacts improves grinding fineness and output. Ball mill steel balls are made of various materials, such as high-manganese steel, which has good toughness, excellent processability, and low price; under greater impact or contact stress, its surface is easily work-hardened, thus improving wear resistance. Low-carbon alloy steel balls have good toughness and are inexpensive, with a relatively long service life. High-chromium cast iron has excellent wear resistance but low toughness, is easily brittle and broken, and is expensive. High-carbon high-manganese alloy steel has high hardness, good toughness, and a long service life.
[0003] Currently, ball mill steel balls, relying on collision and friction with materials and other components for grinding, inevitably experience wear, deformation, and even breakage during long-term operation. Replacing the entire steel ball each time significantly increases production costs, squeezing profit margins and potentially putting companies at a competitive disadvantage. Furthermore, different steel balls wear out at different locations; when wear is concentrated in the same area, replacing the entire ball is a huge waste, resulting in unnecessary resource consumption, violating sustainable development principles, and further increasing the economic burden on companies and environmental pressure. Therefore, we propose a detachable and replaceable ball mill steel ball. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A detachable and replaceable ball mill steel ball includes a ball body 1, a filling port 2 on the outer surface of the ball body 1, a filling chamber 3 on the inner surface of the ball body 1, a splitting mechanism 4 on the inner surface of the ball body 1, and a reinforcing mechanism 5 on the outer surface of the ball body 1. The splitting mechanism 4 includes a sliding device and a locking device.
[0025] In this embodiment, the sliding device includes a groove 401. The groove 401 is provided on the outer surface of the ball 1, and a slider 403 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the groove 401. With the setting of the sliding device, when the ball 1 needs to be replaced, the locking device of the ball 1 to be replaced is activated, so that the slider 403 can slide out from the groove 401, thereby removing the ball 1 to be replaced.
[0026] Furthermore, the engaging device includes a limiting groove 402. The limiting groove 402 is formed on the inner surface of the ball 1, and the engaging groove 404 is formed on the outer surface of the slider 403. An electric push rod 405 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the engaging groove 404, and an engaging block 406 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the electric push rod 405. With the engaging device, when in use, the electric push rod 405 is activated, and the electric push rod 405 drives the engaging block 406, so that the engaging block 406 can move within the engaging groove 404. When the engaging block 406 is fully engaged within the engaging groove 404, the sliding device can be driven, thereby removing the ball 1 that needs to be replaced and realizing disassembly and replacement.
[0027] Furthermore, multiple sets of sliding grooves 401 are provided on the outer surface of the ball 1, and multiple sets of engaging grooves 404 are provided on the outer surface of the slider 403. Through the arrangement of sliding grooves 401 and engaging grooves 404, the engaging grooves 404 can provide precise positioning for the installation of the ball 1 during use, ensuring that the ball 1 is quickly and accurately installed in the designated position during installation, reducing the adjustment time during the installation process.
[0028] In addition, the reinforcement mechanism 5 includes a buffer ball 501. The buffer ball 501 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ball 1. A first reinforcement layer 502 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the buffer ball 501. A reinforcing rib 503 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first reinforcement layer 502. A second reinforcement layer 504 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the reinforcing rib 503. A ball shell 505 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second reinforcement layer 504. A grinding groove 506 is formed on the outer surface of the ball shell 505. Through the setting of the reinforcement mechanism 5, the buffer ball 501 can absorb energy and reduce impact force when the steel ball collides with the material or the inner wall of the ball mill during use. To reduce wear on the steel balls and equipment, the first reinforcing layer 502 and the second reinforcing layer 504 enhance the overall structural strength of the steel balls, improve their impact and wear resistance, extend their service life, and prevent deformation, cracking, and other damage during grinding. The reinforcing rib 503 further improves the structural strength and rigidity of the steel balls, rationally distributes the stress, avoids local stress concentration, and ensures that the steel balls maintain good shape and performance in complex working environments, guaranteeing continuous and stable grinding operations. The grinding groove 506 increases the contact area and friction between the steel balls and the materials, which helps to better grind, crush, and mix the materials, improving grinding efficiency and quality.
[0029] In addition, multiple sets of buffer balls 501 are provided on the outer surface of the ball 1, and multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 503 are provided on the outer surface of the first reinforcing layer 502. With the provision of buffer balls 501 and reinforcing ribs 503, during use, buffer balls 501 can absorb energy when the steel balls collide with the material and the inner wall of the ball mill, reduce the impact force, reduce the wear of the steel balls and equipment, and reduce operating noise. At the same time, the buffering effect can make the movement of the steel balls more stable, which is conducive to improving grinding efficiency.
[0030] It is worth noting that the grinding groove 506 is provided in multiple sets on the outer surface of the ball shell 505, and the filling port 2 is provided in multiple sets on the outer surface of the ball 1. Through the setting of the grinding groove 506 and the filling port 2, the grinding groove 506 increases the contact area and friction between the steel ball and the material during use, which helps to better grind, crush and stir the material, improve grinding efficiency and quality, and also allows the material to be more fully processed in the groove, promoting material refinement.
[0031] In use, when ball 1 needs to be replaced, the electric push rod 405 is activated. The electric push rod 405 drives the locking block 406, allowing the locking block 406 to move within the locking groove 404. When the locking block 406 is fully engaged within the locking groove 404, the sliding device is activated, and the slider 403 can slide out from the sliding groove 401, thereby removing the ball 1 to be replaced and achieving disassembly and replacement. During grinding, the buffer ball 501 absorbs energy when the steel ball collides with the material or the inner wall of the ball mill, reducing impact force and wear on the steel ball and equipment. The first reinforcing layer 502 and the second reinforcing layer 504 enhance the overall structural strength of the steel ball. This design enhances the impact and wear resistance of the steel balls, extends their service life, and prevents deformation and cracking during grinding. The reinforcing rib 503 further improves the structural strength and rigidity of the steel balls, rationally distributes the stress, and avoids local stress concentration, allowing the steel balls to maintain good shape and performance in complex working environments and ensuring continuous and stable grinding. The grinding groove 506 increases the contact area and friction between the steel balls and the materials, which helps to better grind, crush, and stir the materials, improving grinding efficiency and quality. This also allows for precise replacement of the corresponding ball components, solving the problem of wasted resources in ball mill steel balls in existing technologies.
