Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mineral processing equipment technology, and relates to ball mills, and more particularly to a ball mill liner structure. Background Technology

[0002] In mineral processing, the task of grinding is to completely or substantially separate the valuable components in the ore into individual particles, while minimizing over-grinding, and to provide the beneficiation process with a suitable feed slurry (particle size and mass fraction) to create conditions for better recovery of the valuable components from the ore. The quality of the beneficiation results largely depends on the quality of the grinding product. Grinding ore is typically carried out in a grinding mill. Ball mills are widely used in mineral processing plants to grind various ores.

[0003] A ball mill typically consists of a horizontal cylindrical body, hollow inlet and outlet shafts, and grinding heads. The cylindrical body is a long cylinder with liners fixed inside. It contains a considerable number of steel balls. As the cylinder rotates, centrifugal force and friction propel the steel balls to higher positions. As friction decreases, the balls fall back down, impacting the minerals on the bottom wall of the inner chamber, continuously crushing them until they reach the desired particle size. However, the constant impact of the steel balls against the inner wall generates a significant amount of heat. Excessive heat can cause mineral deterioration, negatively impacting the machine's operation and lifespan.

[0004] In existing ball mill technology, cooling is mainly achieved through heat exchange between the outer wall and cooling water, such as by spraying the cooling medium directly onto the ball mill body using a spray device. However, during ball mill operation, heat is concentrated inside, and heat exchange solely through the outside is inefficient and has limited heat dissipation effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a ball mill liner structure to solve the technical problem that the ball mill cannot quickly and fully dissipate heat during operation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A ball mill liner structure includes a sleeve, wherein multiple liners are arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the sleeve, and a spacer rib is provided between two adjacent liners. The two adjacent liners clamp and fix the spacer rib. A first limiting protrusion is provided at one axial end of the liner, and a second limiting protrusion is provided at the other axial end of the liner.

[0008] This utility model also has the following technical features:

[0009] The liner is composed of a first outer arc surface, a first inner arc surface and first oblique cut surfaces on both sides. The first inner arc surfaces of two adjacent liners are connected to each other, and the first outer arc surface of the liner is in contact with the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0010] The arc length of the first outer arc surface is less than the arc length of the first inner arc surface, and the cross-section of the liner is a fan shape that contracts outward and expands inward.

[0011] The first inner arc surfaces of the multiple liners are connected to each other to form a cylindrical inner cavity of the ball mill.

[0012] The spacer rib is composed of a central angle, a second outer arc surface, and second oblique cut surfaces on both sides. The second oblique cut surfaces on both sides of the spacer rib are in contact with the first oblique cut surfaces on both sides of the liner. The central angle of the spacer rib is in contact with the first inner arc surface of the liner. The second outer arc surface of the spacer rib is in contact with the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0013] The sleeve is provided with an end mounting plate at its left end. The end mounting plate has multiple mounting grooves that are closed on the left and open on the right. Each mounting groove is provided with a spring element and an elastic block in sequence. One end of the elastic block is in contact with the spring element to push the spring element. The other end of the elastic block has a limiting groove that cooperates with the first limiting protrusion. The other end face of the elastic block protrudes from the right opening of the mounting groove.

[0014] The right end of the sleeve is provided with an end mating plate, and the end mating plate has multiple mating grooves that are closed on the right and open on the left. The mating grooves cooperate with the second limiting protrusion.

[0015] The end mounting plate and the sleeve are fixedly connected to each other or integrally formed; the end mating plate and the sleeve are fixedly connected to each other or integrally formed.

[0016] Multiple mounting countersunk holes are formed on the outer wall of the sleeve, and fasteners are placed in the mounting countersunk holes. The fasteners pass through the sleeve and are fastened to the liner.

[0017] The spacer bars are provided with heat dissipation channels.

[0018] The first and second limiting protrusions are rectangular block structures.

Figures 1 to 3 As shown, multiple liner plates 2 are arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the sleeve 1. A spacer rib 3 is provided between two adjacent liner plates 2.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the liner 2 is composed of a first outer arc surface 201, a first inner arc surface 202 and first oblique cut surfaces 203 on both sides. The first inner arc surfaces 202 of two adjacent liners 2 are connected to each other, and the first outer arc surface 201 of the liner 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the sleeve 1.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the arc length of the first outer arc surface 201 is less than the arc length of the first inner arc surface 202, and the cross-section of the liner 2 is a fan shape that is contracted outward and expanded inward.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the first inner arc surfaces 202 of multiple liner plates 2 are interconnected to form the cylindrical inner chamber 6 of the ball mill.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the spacer rib 3 is composed of a central angle 301, a second outer arc surface 302, and second oblique cut surfaces 303 on both sides. The second oblique cut surfaces 303 on both sides of the spacer rib 3 are attached to the first oblique cut surfaces 203 on both sides of the liner plate 2. The central angle 301 of the spacer rib 3 is attached to the junction of the first inner arc surface 202 of the liner plate 2. The second outer arc surface 302 of the spacer rib 3 is attached to the inner wall of the sleeve 1.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, an end mounting plate 7 is provided at the left end of the sleeve 1. Multiple mounting grooves 701 with the left side closed and the right side open are provided in the end mounting plate 7. A spring element 702 and an elastic pressure block 703 are arranged in sequence in each mounting groove 701. One end of the elastic pressure block 703 contacts the spring element 702 to push the spring element 702. The other end of the elastic pressure block 703 is provided with a limiting groove 704. The limiting groove 704 cooperates with the first limiting protrusion 4. The other end face of the elastic pressure block 703 protrudes from the right opening of the mounting groove 601.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the right end of the sleeve 1 is provided with an end mating plate 8, and the end mating plate 8 has multiple mating grooves 9 that are closed on the right and open on the left. The mating grooves 9 cooperate with the second limiting protrusion 5 on the right side of the liner 2.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the end mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 1 or integrally formed; the end mating plate 8 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 1 or integrally formed.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple mounting countersunk holes 10 are formed on the outer wall of the sleeve 1. Fasteners 11 are installed in the mounting countersunk holes 10. The fasteners 11 pass through the sleeve 1 and are fastened to the liner 2, so that the liner 2 is firmly fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 1 in the axial direction. Two adjacent liners 2 are fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 1, and the spacer rib 3 between them is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the sleeve 1. The liner 2 and the spacer rib 3 together constitute the inner lining layer of the sleeve 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, preferably, the spacer rib 3 has a honeycomb structure inside, and a heat dissipation channel is provided inside the spacer rib 3. The heat dissipation channel uses a sound-absorbing material, such as a sound-insulating pad, which can reduce the noise of the ball mill. Preferably, the heat dissipation channel uses a magnetic material, such as a magnet block, which can improve the grinding effect by utilizing the magnetic field effect.

[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the first limiting protrusion 4 and the second limiting protrusion 5 are cuboid block structures, and the first limiting protrusion 4 and the second limiting protrusion 5 are located at the center of the left and right end faces of the liner plate 2.

One end of the liner 2 first moves towards the mounting groove 701 of the end mounting plate 7, at which point the liner 2 and the sleeve 1 are at a slightly inclined angle. The first limiting protrusion 4 on the end face of the liner 2 contacts the elastic pressure block 703 and forms a pressing action. The elastic pressure block 703 acts on the spring element 702, and the limiting groove 704 on the elastic pressure block 703 forms a limiting fit with the first limiting protrusion 4. Then, the liner 2 squeezes the extra space formed by the elastic pressure block 703, causing the second limiting protrusion 5 at the other axial end of the liner 2 to engage with the mating groove 9 on the end mating plate 8. When the second limiting protrusion 5 is inserted from the outside of the end mating plate 8 into the mating groove 9, a plug-in fit is formed. Next, spacer ribs 3 and liner plates 2 are added in an alternating sequence, with the liner plates 2 and spacer ribs 3 arranged alternately and abutting against the inner wall of the sleeve 1. The first inner arc surfaces 202 of multiple liner plates 2 are interconnected to form a cylindrical inner chamber 6 of the ball mill. Finally, the liner plates 2 are axially and firmly fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 1. Several mounting countersunk holes 10 are provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 1. Fasteners 11 are installed in the mounting countersunk holes 10. The fasteners 11 extend from the outer wall of the sleeve 1 into the mounting countersunk holes 10, pass through the sleeve 1, and form a threaded fastening fit with the liner plates 2 inside the sleeve 1, thereby firmly fixing the liner plates 2 axially to the inner wall of the sleeve 1.
