[0038] In order to solve the problem of low operation efficiency of the existing bubble generator for a flotation machine, the application provides a bubble generator for a flotation machine.

[0039] The bubble generator for a flotation machine is used with the flotation machine, and the flotation machine comprises a flotation bin and a second pulp inlet pipe communicated with the flotation bin; the bubble generator for a flotation machine is used to realize the mixing of the pulp and the gas in the flotation bin of the flotation machine quickly.

[0040] In the embodiment, the flotation machine further comprises a scraper arranged at the top opening of the flotation bin, and the scraper can rotate around the shaft to scrape the foam layer at the top opening of the flotation bin.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 10 The bubble generator for a flotation machine comprises a shell 20, a driving member, a rotating shaft 80 and a pulp conveying assembly 40, the pulp conveying assembly 40 is arranged outside the shell 20, and the driving member is arranged on the flotation bin.

[0042] The shell 20 is vertically arranged in the flotation groove of the flotation bin, and the shell 20 comprises a top pipe 210, a middle pipe 220 and a bottom pipe 230 which are arranged in communication along the height direction; a square plate 260 is fixedly arranged on the top pipe 210, the square plate 260 is fixed above the middle pipe 220, and the square plate 260 is mounted on the cross beam at the top of the flotation bin through bolts; the middle pipe 220 is arranged below the top pipe 210 through a flange plate, and the upper end of the middle pipe 220 has a smaller diameter than the lower end; this arrangement provides a channel for the gas and the slurry to enter the shell 20; and the bottom pipe 230 is arranged below the middle pipe 220.

[0043] In the embodiment, the shell 20 has an inner cavity, an air inlet pipe 240 and a first pulp inlet pipe 250 which are communicated with the inner cavity; the top of the air inlet pipe 240 protrudes into the slurry; and the first pulp inlet pipe 250 is connected with the second pulp inlet pipe on the flotation bin; therefore, the gas and the slurry can flow into the shell 20 through the air inlet pipe 240 and the pulp inlet pipe, which facilitates the mutual mixing of the gas and the slurry and the generation of bubbles floating to the surface of the slurry.

[0044] The air inlet pipe 240 and the first pulp inlet pipe 250 are both arranged in communication with the middle pipe 220, and the air inlet pipe 240 is arranged above the first pulp inlet pipe 250.

When the driving component is working, it drives the inner impeller 291 to rotate at high speed in the flotation cell. A stirring zone is formed between the inner impeller 291 and the outer impeller 271. The shape and structure design of the impeller causes the slurry to generate strong turbulence and vortex in the stirring zone, which in turn continuously draws air from the surface of the slurry into the slurry. At the same time, through the shearing and squeezing action of the impeller, the drawn-in air is broken into tiny bubbles and evenly dispersed in the slurry, so as to achieve full mixing of the slurry and the bubbles.

[0047] The bubble generator for flotation machines in this application uses the cooperation of an inner impeller 291 and an outer impeller 271 to agitate the gas and slurry. Under the action of the impeller, the entrained air is broken into tiny bubbles and evenly dispersed in the slurry, so as to achieve full mixing of slurry and bubbles and further improve the mixing efficiency of slurry and gas.
