Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air classifier technology, specifically to a vortex combined air classifier. Background Technology
[0002] Air classifiers separate materials by particle size, that is, they separate powders of different particle sizes in the material to obtain powders of various particle sizes. They are generally divided into three categories: three-stage air classifiers, centrifugal air classifiers, and cyclone air classifiers.
[0003] Traditional air classifiers have relatively fixed structures for their air classifier components, which means that the air classifier holes can only meet the air classifier requirements for a specific size range, thus limiting their applicability. In addition, the powder at the bottom is prone to clumping due to the pressure from the powder above, which reduces the powder output efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vortex combined air classifier, which has the advantages of convenient air classification, wide applicability, and high air output efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A vortex combined air classifier includes an air classifier box, a sealing cover, a rotating frame, an air classifier plate, and a motor. The sealing cover is detachably connected to the top opening of the air classifier box. The sealing cover has an air inlet that communicates with the upper and lower parts of the air inlet. A cover plate A is hinged to the air inlet. The rotating frame is located inside the air classifier box below the air inlet. The rotating frame has a bowl-shaped structure resembling an inverted frustum. The sealing cover covers the upper opening of the rotating frame. The side of the rotating frame has several layers of evenly distributed mounting grooves along its circumference, arranged sequentially from top to bottom. An air classifier plate is detachably connected to each mounting groove. The air classifier plate has evenly distributed air classifier holes that communicate with each other internally and externally. The powder selection holes of the square powder selection plate are larger than those of the powder selection plate below it. The powder selection holes of the powder selection plates at the same height are of similar size. The powder selection box has powder receiving grooves on the outside of the rotating frame from top to bottom, corresponding to the powder selection plates of different heights. The inner edge of the powder receiving groove is rotatably connected to the rotating frame. The powder selection box has powder outlets corresponding to each powder receiving groove.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the powder receiving trough is lower at the end near the powder outlet than at the end away from the powder outlet.
[0012] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. The powder to be screened is poured into the rotating frame inside the powder separator through the powder inlet. The rotating frame is driven to rotate by the motor via the rotating rod.

The powder selection holes 9 of the powder selection plates 4 at the same height are of similar size. The powder selection box 1 is provided with powder receiving grooves 10 corresponding to powder selection plates 4 at different heights from top to bottom on the outside of the rotating frame 3. The inner edge of the powder receiving groove 10 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 3.

[0024] The powder to be screened is poured into the rotating frame 3 inside the powder sorting box 1 through the powder inlet 6. The rotating frame 3 is driven to rotate by the motor 5 via the rotating rod 13. The powder placed in the rotating frame 3 adheres to the powder sorting plate 4 under centrifugal force and falls into the corresponding powder receiving tank 10 through the appropriate powder sorting hole 9. Larger and heavier powders are thrown out from the powder sorting hole 9 of the upper powder sorting plate 4, while smaller and lighter powders are thrown out from the powder sorting hole 9 of the lower powder sorting plate 4. Finally, powders of different sizes leave the powder sorting box 1 from different powder outlets 11. The powder sorting is convenient, and the staff can change the powder sorting standard by changing the powder sorting plate 4 with different sized powder sorting holes 9, thus expanding the scope of application.
[0025] Furthermore, the bottom of the powder sorting box 1 is provided with an annular fixing seat 14, the top of the fixing seat is provided with an annular groove 15, and an annular air passage A17 is provided along the circumference of the annular groove 15. The bottom of the rotating frame 3 is provided with an annular protrusion 16, and an annular air passage B18 is provided along the circumference of the annular protrusion 16. The annular groove 15 and the annular protrusion 16 are rotatably connected. The upper end of the annular air passage A17 is connected to the lower end of the annular air passage B18. The upper end of the annular air passage B18 is connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 3. The upper end is provided with a dust-blocking screen A19.

The lower end of the air supply pipe 21 is connected to the air inlet of the vacuum pump 20. The air outlet of the vacuum pump 20 is connected to the annular air passage A17 through the air supply pipe 23 that passes through the powder classifier 1. The inner end of the exhaust pipe 22 is provided with a dust-blocking screen B24.
[0026] By using the combined use of the vacuum pump 20, exhaust pipe 22, air supply pipe 21, air delivery pipe 23, annular air passage A17, and annular air passage B18, rising air that can disperse the powder is created at the bottom of the rotating frame 3, reducing the possibility of powder clumping at the bottom of the rotating frame 3 and improving powder output efficiency; the powder baffle A19 and powder baffle B24 are used to prevent powder from mixing into the annular air passage B18 and exhaust pipe 22, the air delivery pipe 23, annular air passage A17, and annular air passage B18 are used to form a flow path for air from the vacuum pump 20 to the bottom of the rotating frame 3, and the exhaust pipe 22 and air supply pipe 21 are used to form a flow path for air from the powder separator 1 to the vacuum pump 20.
[0027] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating frame 3 is provided with an annular groove 25 along the circumference of the lower edge of each layer of the mounting groove 8, and the inner edge of the powder receiving groove 10 is rotatably connected to the corresponding annular groove 25.
[0028] The stability of the rotating frame 3 is improved by using the combination of the annular slide 25 and the inner edge of the powder receiving groove 10.
[0029] Furthermore, the mounting slot 8 is connected to the powder selection plate 4 by fixing screws 26.
[0030] The powder separator plate 4, which is connected by fixing screws 26, is securely installed and easy to install and remove.
[0031] Furthermore, an annular slider 27 is provided along the circumference of the outer edge of the top of the rotating frame 3, and an annular slide rail 28 corresponding to the annular slider 27 is provided inside the powder selection box 1. The annular slider 27 and the annular slide rail 28 are rotatably connected.
[0032] The stability of the rotation of the rotating frame 3 is improved by using the combination of the annular slider 27 and the annular slide rail 28.
[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the powder receiving trough 10 is lower at the end near the powder outlet 11 than at the end far from the powder outlet 11.
[0034] The bottom of the powder receiving trough 10 is inclined downward toward the powder outlet 11, which facilitates the powder falling into the powder receiving trough 10 to roll toward the powder outlet 11, thereby improving the powder discharge efficiency.
[0035] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0036] Before powder selection, the staff removes the sealing cover 2 and installs the appropriate powder selection plate 4 with the powder selection hole 9 into the installation slot 8 according to the powder selection requirements. During the powder selection process, the staff lifts the cover plate A7 and pours the powder to be selected into the powder inlet 6. After passing through the powder inlet 6, the powder falls into the rotating frame 3. Then, the staff closes the cover plate A7 and starts the motor 5 and the vacuum pump 20. The motor 5 drives the rotating frame 3 to rotate via the rotating rod 13. Under centrifugal force, the powder in the rotating frame 3 is thrown up onto the powder selection plate 4 and rises until it encounters the appropriately sized powder selection hole 9. After passing through the powder selection hole 9, the powder falls into the corresponding receiving port. Inside the powder tank 10, the air pump 20 delivers air to the bottom of the rotating frame 3 via the air supply pipe 23, the annular air passage A17, and the annular air passage B18. The air rushing out from the powder baffle A19 disperses the accumulated powder, preventing it from clumping. The air in the powder selection box 1 returns to the air pump 20 via the exhaust pipe 22 and the air supply pipe 21, providing the air source required for the air pump 20 to continuously blow air. After the powder in the rotating frame 3 is dispersed into its corresponding powder receiving tank 10, the operator turns off the motor 5 and the air pump 20, and then opens the cover plate B12 of the powder outlet 11 to release the powder that has been selected.
[0037] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
