[0002] In the mining and building material industries, large rod mills play an important role as key equipment for material grinding. However, the problem of slurry leakage between the lining plate bolt and the cylinder of the rod mill has long plagued the industry.

[0032] A rod mill liner bolt sealing device according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-3 includes a bolt 2, a nut 3, a gland 4, a sealing element 5 and a packing box 6.
[0033] One end of the bolt 2 penetrates the barrel 11 of the rod mill, and is connected with the liner plate 12 in the barrel 11. The nut 3 is screwed on the other end of the bolt 2 outside the barrel 11.
[0034] The gland 4 is sleeved on the other end of the bolt 2 outside the barrel 11, one side of the gland 4 is in contact with the nut 3, and the other side is provided with a groove 41. The gland 4 transmits the pressure of the nut 3 and cooperates with the sealing element 5. The gland 4 is made of metal material, which has high strength and rigidity, can withstand large pressure, and does not deform during extrusion, effectively transmitting the pressure.
[0035] The sealing element 5 has a mounting hole 51, the sealing element 5 is sleeved on the other end of the bolt 2 through the mounting hole 51, a threaded filler rib 52 is arranged on the hole wall of the mounting hole 51 to seal the gap between the bolt 2 and the mounting hole 51, one side of the sealing element 5 close to the gland 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the groove 41, and the other side is provided with an annular groove 53 around the mounting hole 51. The threaded filler rib 52 is in threaded cooperation with the bolt 2 to block dust, liquid and the like from entering.
[0036] The sealing element 5 is made of rubber material, which has good elasticity and sealing performance, can better fill the gap, adapt to different working environments and deformation conditions, and improve the sealing effect and reliability of the device.
[0037] The packing box 6 is embedded in the annular groove 53 and connected with the barrel 11. The packing box 6 and the outer peripheral wall of the barrel 11 are welded and connected. The welding connection makes the packing box 6 and the barrel 11 firmly connected, enhances the stability of the whole sealing device, ensures that the packing box 6 does not loosen or fall off during the operation of the equipment, and guarantees the sealing effect and normal operation of the equipment.
[0038] The nut 3 is rotated along the bolt 2 towards the barrel 11 to extrude the gland 4, the sealing element 5 and the packing box 6 on the barrel 11, and fix the liner plate 12 in the barrel 11.
[0039] When the device is assembled, one end of the bolt 2 penetrates the barrel 11 of the rod mill and is connected with the liner plate 12 in the barrel 11. The packing box 6 and the sealing element 5 are sleeved on the bolt 2 in sequence, the packing box 6 is embedded in the annular groove 53 of the sealing element 5, the threaded filler rib 52 on the hole wall of the mounting hole 51 cooperates with the bolt 2 to seal the gap between the bolt 2 and the mounting hole 51.
[0040] The gland 4 is sleeved on the other end of the bolt 2, and one side of the gland 4 is in contact with the nut 3, and the other side is in contact with the sealing element 5 close to one side of the gland 4.
[0041] The nut 3 is threadedly connected to the other end of the bolt 2, and the nut 3 is rotated to rotate along the bolt 2 towards the cylinder 11, and at the same time, the gland 4 and the sealing element 5 are extruded, and the packing box 6 is extruded on the cylinder 11, and further the liner plate 12 is fixed in the cylinder 11.
[0042] Finally, the connection part of the packing box 6 and the cylinder 11 is welded to ensure that the packing box 6 and the cylinder 11 are firmly connected.
[0043] In addition, during installation, by tightening the nut 3, the gland 4 generates pressure on the sealing element 5 from top to bottom and side, preliminarily fixes the bolt 2, and prevents it from tilting. That is, no matter which direction the bolt 2 tilts, the sealing element 5 can tightly hold the packing box 6 and the bolt 2, reducing the occurrence of leakage.
[0044] The application realizes effective fixation of the rod mill liner plate 12, ensures the stability of the liner plate 12 in the cylinder 11, improves the sealing performance of the device through the thread filling ribs 52 of the sealing element 5 and the extrusion fit of each part, prevents dust, liquid and the like from entering the cylinder 11, protects the working environment in the cylinder 11, and reduces equipment wear.
[0045] Moreover, by simply rotating the nut 3 along the bolt 2, the gland 4, the sealing element 5 and the packing box 6 can be extruded on the cylinder 11, and the liner plate 12 is firmly fixed in the cylinder 11. This connection method is simple to operate, and reduces the difficulty and cost of installation and maintenance.
[0046] In addition, the cooperation between each part enhances the stability of the connection, ensures that the liner plate 12 can still maintain a fixed position under the harsh working conditions of high-speed rotation of the rod mill and impact of the material, and guarantees stable operation of the equipment.
[0047] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 the thread filling ribs 52 are provided in plurality. When the sealing element 5 is sleeved on the bolt 2, the plurality of thread filling ribs 52 threadedly cooperate with the bolt 2, further enhancing the sealing effect.
[0048] The application can better fill the gap between the bolt 2 and the mounting hole 51 through the plurality of thread filling ribs 52, enhance the sealing performance, reduce the possibility of leakage, and improve the reliability and service life of the equipment.
[0049] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the inner wall of the mounting hole 51 is provided with an annular groove 41 to form a deformation absorption groove 54 between any two adjacent threaded filling ribs 52.
[0050] In this embodiment, the annular groove 41 on the inner wall of the mounting hole 51 is used to absorb the deformation of the bolt 2 and is located between adjacent threaded filling ribs 52. When the bolt 2 deforms due to stress or temperature changes, the deformation absorption groove 54 can accommodate such changes by deforming itself.
[0051] Specifically, when the nut 3 rotates and presses each component, the bolt 2 may deform due to stress, and at this time, the deformation absorption groove 54 can absorb the deformation of the bolt 2 to prevent damage to the sealing element 5, gland 4, and other components caused by the deformation of the bolt 2.
[0052] The present application can adapt to the deformation of the bolt 2 by providing the deformation absorption groove 54, thereby improving the stability and durability of the device, avoiding sealing failure or component damage caused by the deformation of the bolt 2, and prolonging the service life of the equipment.
[0053] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the hole wall of the mounting hole 51 and the inner wall of the annular groove 53 form a first end 55, the outer wall of the annular groove 53 and the outer wall of the sealing element 5 form a second end 56, the bottom surface of the second end 56 is higher than the bottom surface of the gland 4, and the bottom surface of the first end 55 is lower than the bottom surface of the second end 56.
[0054] In this embodiment, during the process of rotating the nut 3 to press the gland 4, sealing element 5, and packing box 6, due to the structure that the bottom surface of the second end 56 is higher than the bottom surface of the gland 4 and the bottom surface of the first end 55 is lower than the bottom surface of the second end 56, the stress distribution of each part of the sealing element 5 is more reasonable when it is pressed, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.
[0055] The present application optimizes the stress condition of the sealing element 5 by the first end 55 and the second end 56, so that the sealing element 5 can better play a sealing role during the pressing process, further improving the sealing performance of the device, while also helping to maintain the shape and stability of the sealing element 5, thereby prolonging its service life.
[0056] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the end of the bolt 2 connected to the lining plate 12 is provided with a limiting column 21, and the diameter of the limiting column 21 decreases from the end away from the cylinder 11 to the end close to the cylinder 11.
[0057] In the embodiment, the limiting column 21 is a component for limiting the position of the liner plate 12, which is arranged at the connecting end of the bolt 2 and the liner plate 12, and has a large diameter at one end and a small diameter at the other end. When the bolt 2 is connected with the liner plate 12, the limiting column 21 is inserted into the corresponding hole of the liner plate 12 to limit the position of the liner plate 12.
[0058] The application improves the accuracy and stability of the installation of the liner plate 12 by arranging the limiting column 21, prevents the displacement or shaking of the liner plate 12 in the cylinder 11, ensures the normal operation and grinding effect of the rod mill, and reduces the damage to the equipment caused by the loosening of the liner plate 12.
[0059] In summary, when installing, the bolt 2 with the limiting column 21 is inserted through the liner plate 12 in the cylinder 11 of the rod mill, and the limiting column 21 plays a positioning role to prevent the liner plate 12 from being offset during installation.
[0060] First, the packing box 6 is sleeved on the bolt 2, and then the sealing element 5 with the threaded filler rib 52 and the annular groove 53 is sleeved on the other end of the bolt 2 through the mounting hole 51. The threaded filler rib 52 is engaged with the threads of the bolt 2 to preliminarily seal the gap between them. At the same time, the packing box 6 is embedded in the annular groove 53 of the sealing element 5, and then the packing box 6 is connected with the cylinder 11 of the rod mill through the welding process to ensure firm connection.
[0061] Then, the gland 4 made of metal material is sleeved on the same end of the bolt 2, so that one side of the gland 4 is in contact with the nut 3, and the other side of the recess 41 is tightly fitted with the side of the sealing element 5 close to the gland 4.
[0062] Finally, the nut 3 is rotated to move along the bolt 2 towards the cylinder 11, the nut 3 pushes the gland 4, and the sealing element 5 and the packing box 6 are sequentially extruded, and finally the liner plate 12 is firmly fixed in the cylinder 11.
[0063] In use, the rod mill grinds the internal materials after starting. In this process, the equipment will be vibrated, the temperature will change, and other factors will cause the bolt 2 to deform. At this time, the deformed absorption groove 54 plays a role in absorbing the deformation of the bolt 2 caused by stress or temperature change, preventing the deformation of the bolt 2 from damaging the sealing device and the connecting structure.
[0064] At the same time, the plurality of threaded filler ribs 52 continuously seal the gap between the bolt 2 and the mounting hole 51, preventing dust, liquid and other impurities from entering the cylinder 11, and maintaining a clean environment inside the equipment. In addition, the tight connection between the components formed by mutual extrusion continuously fixes the liner plate 12 in the cylinder 11, ensuring the stability of the liner plate 12 during the grinding process.
[0065] The above examples are only exemplary embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the present application within the spirit and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements are also considered to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
