The terms "connected", "connected" used in the utility model should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixed connection, can also be detachable connection, can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate components, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.
[0034] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0035] As Figures 1-4 The utility model discloses a tailings thickening proportioning experiment machine for verifying the thickening change under different tailings and flocculating agent proportioning, including cylinder body 101, stirring mechanism, circulating pump 105 and isolating bush 110, cylinder body 101 sets up on the experiment frame, and the experiment frame is the square frame (not shown in the drawing) welded of stainless steel, is equipped with overflow launder 108 on the upper end of cylinder body 101, and overflow launder 108 is annular, is fixed through welding on the outer wall of cylinder body 101, and the section of overflow launder 108 is L-shaped, and the upper end surface of overflow launder 108 is higher than the upper end surface of cylinder body 101 by no less than 5cm, to ensure that the supernatant overflows stably. Overflow pipe 107 is welded on the bottom of overflow launder 108, and a valve is arranged on overflow pipe 107, which can control the discharge speed of the clear liquid, and overflow pipe 107 extends to the collecting tank correspondingly to collect the separated water, and a turbidimeter is arranged on overflow pipe 107 to detect the turbidity of the overflow water.
[0036] A support frame 102 is arranged on the upper end of overflow launder 108, which can be grid-shaped or cover-shaped and is fixedly connected with overflow launder 108 through bolts. The stirring mechanism is fixed above overflow launder 108 through support frame 102, and the stirring mechanism extends into the bottom of cylinder body 101 downward to stir and mix the raw materials entering cylinder body 101.
[0037] An isolation sleeve 110 corresponding to the stirring mechanism is provided on the support frame 102. The isolation sleeve 110 is fitted onto the outside of the stirring mechanism. A feed inlet connected to the feed pipe 4 is located in the middle of the isolation sleeve 110. The feed pipe 4 is equipped with a control valve and is connected to the tailings preparation tank 1 and the flocculant preparation tank 3 via branch pipes. After the material enters through the feed inlet in the middle of the isolation sleeve 110, it undergoes preliminary mixing inside the isolation sleeve 110. This also reduces interference with overflow material when the stirring mechanism rotates. The upper end of the isolation sleeve 110 is connected to the support frame 102, and the lower end of the isolation sleeve 110 extends to the middle of the cylinder 101. Preferably, the length of the isolation sleeve 110 is not less than one-third of the length of the cylinder 101.
[0038] In this embodiment, a tailings separation plate 117 is provided in the lower half of the isolation sleeve. The tailings separation plate 117 is set on the necessary channel for water overflow. The longitudinal reciprocating movement of the tailings separation plate 117 improves the flocculation and separation capacity of the tailings sand passing through it, ensuring the separation capacity of the tailings slurry. Specifically, the tailings separation plate 117 is an annular grid structure corresponding to the lower half of the isolation sleeve. The inner diameter of the tailings separation plate 117 is adapted to the outer diameter of the isolation sleeve, so that it can slide along the longitudinal direction of the isolation sleeve. A sliding sleeve 115 is provided in the middle of the tailings separation plate 117 and connected by a positioning rod 116. The sliding sleeve 115 is fixedly connected to the tailings separation plate 117. A limiting notch corresponding to the positioning rod 116 is provided on the lower edge of the isolation sleeve. The limiting notch extends longitudinally to the lower end face of the isolation sleeve, thereby limiting the movement of the positioning rod 116. The trajectory prevents the tailings separation plate 117 from rotating with the stirring shaft. The sliding sleeve 115 is correspondingly sleeved on the stirring shaft. The upper end of the sliding sleeve 115 is a first inclined surface with an angle of 20-30 degrees. The stirring shaft is provided with a corresponding squeezing sleeve 114. The squeezing sleeve 114 is concentrically fixed on the stirring shaft. The lower end of the squeezing sleeve 114 is a second inclined surface corresponding to the first inclined surface. The angles of the first and second inclined surfaces are the same. During the rotation of the squeezing sleeve 114 with the stirring shaft, the first and second inclined surfaces interact to drive the tailings separation plate 117 to move longitudinally. The inner wall of the cylinder is provided with a corresponding return spring 113 that supports the edge of the tailings separation plate 117. The return spring 113 drives the tailings separation plate 117 to return to its original position, thereby ensuring that the overflowing tailings are completely separated. In an optional embodiment, the stirring mechanism includes a motor 109, a stirring shaft 112, and a rake frame 104. The motor 109 is fixed to the support frame 102 by bolts. The motor 109 is a variable frequency motor, which can adjust the stirring speed. The main shaft of the motor 109 extends along the axis of the cylinder 101. The upper end of the stirring shaft 112 is connected to the main shaft of the motor 109 through a coupling. The lower end of the stirring shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the center position of the bottom surface of the cylinder 101 through a bearing. A corresponding upward-facing sleeve can be provided at the bottom of the cylinder 101 to ensure the stable rotation of the stirring shaft 112.
[0039] In the embodiment, the bottom of the barrel 101 is a conical bottom with a cone angle of 60°, which facilitates the tailings to converge to the center after deposition. The rake frame 104 is welded from a solid or hollow steel pipe, and is located at the middle and lower part of the stirring shaft 112. The main body of the rake frame 104 is an n-shaped frame, and the lower end of the n-shaped frame is provided with a V-shaped structure matched with the conical bottom of the barrel 101. The cone angle of the V-shaped structure is consistent with the cone angle of the conical bottom, which can fully scrape and stir the tailings at the conical bottom and effectively prevent the tailings from depositing and clogging at the conical bottom. The inside of the rake frame 104 is welded with spaced support rods parallel to the axis of the barrel 101. The spacing between adjacent support rods is 10-30 cm, which enhances the structural strength of the rake frame 104 and improves the stirring effect.
[0040] Furthermore, the stirring shaft 112 is provided with a stirring arm corresponding to the isolation sleeve 110, so that the material can be fully contacted and stirred after entering from the feed inlet, and direct diffusion of the material to the entire inner cavity of the barrel 101 is avoided to prevent insufficient mixing.

The circulating pump 105 can extract part of the mixed material at the bottom of the barrel 101 and re-deliver it to the middle part of the inner cavity of the barrel 101, forming a circulating flow of the material, promoting further uniform mixing of the tailings and the flocculating agent, and breaking the static stratification state of the material, simulating the dynamic processing environment of the tailings in actual engineering, and improving the authenticity of the experimental results.

Specifically, six sampling ports 103 are arranged on the outer wall of the barrel 101, and each sampling port 103 is provided with a control valve. When sampling, the control valve is opened to sample, so that the uniformity of the tailings concentration in the barrel 101 is comprehensively analyzed through multi-position sampling detection, and the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the experimental data are improved.
[0044] The barrel 101 is provided with a plurality of overflow notches 111 uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction thereof, and the lowest point of the overflow notch 111 is higher than the bottom surface of the overflow groove 108.
[0045] The barrel 101 is columnar, a plurality of overflow notches 111 are uniformly arranged on the barrel 101, the overflow notches 111 are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the barrel 101, the arrangement of the overflow notches 111 can ensure that the supernatant in the barrel 101 can flow into the overflow groove 108 smoothly and uniformly, and avoid that the material is overflowed due to too fast local overflow, and the lowest point of the overflow notch 111 is 2 cm higher than the bottom surface of the overflow groove 108.
