Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steel ball recycling and sorting devices, and in particular to a steel ball recycling and sorting device for a ball mill. Background Technology
[0002] Ball mills are widely used grinding equipment in industries such as mining, metallurgy, building materials, and chemicals. Their main function is to pulverize materials through the collision and friction between steel balls and the material. During operation, the steel balls continuously wear down and break, causing their size to gradually decrease and affecting grinding efficiency. Therefore, regular replacement and replenishment of steel balls are essential to ensure efficient operation of the ball mill. Since the replaced steel balls vary in size, worn steel balls are sorted by size for efficient recycling. Traditional methods rely on manual sorting, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. In recent years, some automated sorting devices have been applied, but they suffer from problems such as low sorting accuracy and complex equipment. Developing an efficient and reliable ball mill steel ball recycling and sorting device is of great significance for improving ball mill operating efficiency, reducing production costs, and minimizing environmental pollution. Existing technologies have certain limitations and urgently require innovation and improvement. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a ball mill steel ball recycling and sorting device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A ball mill steel ball recycling and sorting device includes a feeding hopper, a sorting track, segmented chutes, and segmented recycling boxes. The bottom of the feeding hopper is equipped with a support, and a feeding port is provided on one side of the feeding hopper. The feeding port is fixedly connected to one end of the sorting track. The sorting track includes multiple equilateral right-angled plates arranged in a fan shape with right angles pointing upwards. Multiple segmented chutes are arranged side by side at the bottom of the sorting track. An opening is provided on one side of each segmented chute, and a segmented recycling box is provided at the opening.
[0006] A baffle is installed on the hopper at the discharge port. The baffle is located above the connection between the sorting track and the hopper. In order to prevent all the recycled steel balls in the hopper from flowing to the sorting track, a vertically downward baffle is installed on the baffle. The baffle is a rubber baffle that acts as a buffer when the recycled steel balls flow from the hopper to the sorting track.
[0007] The sorting track has a small diameter end at one end and a large diameter end at the other end. The sorting track is set at an angle with one end higher than the other, and the small diameter end is higher than the large diameter end.
[0008] The small-diameter end of the sorting track is connected to the hopper. The small-diameter end of the sorting track is provided with a semi-conical diverting head, which diverts the flow of the recycled steel balls from the hopper to the sorting track. A fixing rod is provided at the bottom of the small-diameter end of the sorting track for fixing the sorting track.
[0009] L-shaped baffles are provided on the segmented chute at the large-diameter end of the sorting track.
[0010] The segmented chute is equipped with an inclined slide plate, the lower end of which extends out of the opening of the segmented chute. A corresponding segmented recycling box is provided at the opening of the segmented chute. The segmented recycling box is provided with a splicing interface at the position corresponding to the opening of the segmented chute, so that the slide plate extends into the segmented recycling box and the recycled steel balls slide directly into the segmented recycling box through the slide plate.
[0011] The sorting track has multiple equilateral right-angle plates made of angle steel. The size of the fan-shaped arrangement of the multiple equilateral right-angle plates is set according to the diameter of the steel balls to be sorted and recycled. The bottom of the sorting track within a certain diameter range is provided with corresponding segmented chutes and segmented recycling boxes.
[0012] The hopper is sloped, and the discharge port is the lower end of the slope.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by recovering the weight of the steel balls themselves, they are automatically rolled and sorted through the sorting track, which greatly improves the sorting efficiency and reduces labor costs; compared with complex automated sorting devices, it has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and greatly reduces operating costs without generating additional operating costs.
