[0020] See Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses a ball mill steel ball screening device, comprising a vibrating frame 1, on which a chute 2 is inclinedly arranged, and a filter screen plate 3 is provided within the chute 2; the filter screen plate 3 is inclined to one side along its length and the included angle β between it and the bottom surface of the chute 2 is 3-6°; a feed hopper 4 is provided on the vibrating frame 1 located on the upper side of the chute 2, and a feed pipe 5 is provided at the bottom of the feed hopper 4 on the inclined upper side of the filter screen plate 3; and collection boxes 6 are provided on both sides of the lower end of the feed hopper 4. The vibrating frame is prior art, and its specific structure is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0021] As the steel balls slide downwards on the filter screen plate, smaller steel balls fall into the chute below, while larger steel balls, due to the filter screen plate tilting to one side along its length, will roll quickly along the diagonal, while irregular steel balls will slide in a straight line to the other side. This effectively separates severely worn steel balls, ensuring the efficiency and quality of the ball mill.
[0022] In this embodiment, the angle α between the chute 2 and the horizontal plane is 3-10°, and the angle β between the filter screen plate 3 and the inner bottom surface of the chute 2 is 3-6°. Multiple experiments have shown that when the inclination angles of the chute and the filter screen plate are within the above range, the rounded steel balls can quickly roll to one side of the filter screen plate as they roll down, while the irregular steel balls roll more slowly and remain on the other side, effectively separating the irregular steel balls.
[0023] In this embodiment, a gentle slope 7 is provided on the filter screen plate 3 located below the feed pipe 5, and the angle γ between the gentle slope 7 and the plane is 1-2°; an inclined acceleration section 8 is provided at the end of the gentle slope 7 away from the feed pipe 5. With this structure, when the steel ball falls on the filter screen plate, it first lands on the gentle slope with a smaller slope. At this time, the irregular steel ball is difficult to roll, while the round steel ball can quickly roll diagonally along the slope. When the round steel ball reaches the inclined acceleration section, the rolling speed will increase, which can effectively improve the screening effect.
[0024] In this embodiment, a Y-shaped outlet 9 is integrally formed at the lower end of the filter screen plate 3. A Y-shaped baffle 10 that cooperates with the Y-shaped outlet 9 is provided on the filter screen plate 3, and the collection boxes 6 are respectively arranged below the Y-shaped outlet 9. The straight section in the middle of the Y-shaped baffle blocks the slower-falling irregular steel balls, further improving the screening effect. The blocking length of the Y-shaped baffle can be determined based on a limited number of experiments. The Y-shaped outlet guides round and irregular steel balls to both sides of the chute for easy placement of the collection boxes for collection.
[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, both the chute 2 and the filter screen plate 3 are trapezoidal, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Mounting bosses 11 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the chute 2, and the filter screen plate 3 is placed on the mounting bosses 11. With this structure, the filter screen plate can be directly placed on the mounting bosses, and due to its wider-than-narrower shape, it will fit snugly against the inner wall of the chute, preventing it from falling off. This effectively reduces installation steps and facilitates assembly and disassembly.
[0026] More preferably, a plurality of mounting blocks 12 are provided on the inner wall of the slide groove 2 above the mounting boss 11. Screws 13 are threaded onto the mounting blocks 12, and rubber pads 14 that cooperate with the filter screen plate 3 are provided at the lower end of the screws 13. By setting the screws and rubber pads to press the filter screen plate, vibration is prevented from causing the filter screen plate to bounce up. The rubber pads cooperate with the inclined filter screen plate to ensure installation.
[0027] During operation, steel balls taken from the ball mill are fed into the feed hopper. The steel balls fall through the feed pipe onto the flat section at the top of the filter screen plate and roll down the filter screen plate under the vibration of the vibrating frame. Steel balls that are too small fall through the filter screen plate into the chute below. Larger, rounder steel balls will roll quickly along the diagonal to the Y-shaped outlet located diagonally opposite the feed pipe and fall into the collection box. Irregular steel balls are blocked by the Y-shaped baffle when they slide down to the bottom and roll into the Y-shaped outlet located on the same side of the feed pipe and fall into the collection box.
[0028] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
