During manual operation, workers need to use measuring tools based on experience to measure the reagents and then pour them into the mixing equipment to mix with water. This process has many drawbacks. First, the accuracy of manual operation is difficult to guarantee. Errors in measuring tool readings and spillage when pouring reagents can lead to deviations in the reagent-to-water ratio, directly affecting the stability of the flotation effect.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic emulsification device for flotation reagents, including an integral mechanism 1. A set of support structures 2 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the integral mechanism 1. The integral mechanism 1 includes a base 101 and a movable plate 109. An emulsification tank 112 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 109. A stirring rod 118 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the emulsification tank 112. A servo motor 117 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the emulsification tank 112. A set of regulating valves 119 are fixedly connected to the top of the emulsification tank 112. The top of the movable plate 109... A set of brackets 110 is fixedly connected. A medicine storage tank 116 and a water storage tank 113 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the brackets 110 respectively. A set of centrifugal pumps 122 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the medicine storage tank 116 and the water storage tank 113. The output end of the centrifugal pumps 122 is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe 120. An external electromagnetic flow meter 123 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the delivery pipe 120. The delivery pipe 120 is connected to the inside of the regulating valve 119. Through the above components, the whole system has the function of automatic control, which improves the overall operation efficiency.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a self-locking wheel 103 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base 101, and a PLC controller 105 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base 101. The self-locking wheel 103 facilitates the user to move the whole unit and improves the overall flexibility. The PLC controller 105 is electrically connected to the components to control the opening and closing of multiple components.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, an electric push rod 106 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 101. The shaft end of the electric push rod 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 109. The electric push rod 106 serves as a power source, enabling the movable plate 109 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the medicine storage tank 116 and the water storage tank 113 so that people of different heights can pour the liquid.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a cylinder 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 101, and a connecting rod 104 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 102. The top end face of the connecting rod 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 109. The base 101 and the movable plate 109 are connected through the cylinder 102 and the connecting rod 104.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, dampers 107 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 102, and springs 108 are sleeved on the outer wall of the dampers 107. The shaft end of the damper 107 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 104. Through the dampers 107, springs 108 and connecting rods 104, the stability of the movable plate 109 during up and down movement can be ensured, and the movement is slow, avoiding sudden impacts or vibrations.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, an electromagnetic valve 111 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the emulsion tank 112. The output end of the servo motor 117 is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring rod 118. Through the electromagnetic valve 111, the emulsion stirred in the emulsion tank 112 can be discharged normally to the outside so that it can be used normally in subsequent flotation operations.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, a first inlet pipe 114 is provided through the outer wall of the medicine storage tank 116 and the water storage tank 113, and a second inlet pipe 121 is provided through the outer wall of the emulsification tank 112. A sealing cap 115 is movably inserted into the inner wall of both the first inlet pipe 114 and the second inlet pipe 121. Through the first inlet pipe 114, water and medicine from the outside can flow normally into the water storage tank 113 and the medicine storage tank 116. Through the second inlet pipe 121, emulsifier from the outside can flow normally into the emulsification tank 112. The sealing cap 115 can cover the first inlet pipe 114 and the second inlet pipe 121 to prevent foreign objects from entering when not in use.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support structure 2 includes a fixed plate 201. A set of sliders 205 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 201. Fixed rods 204 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of each slider 205. A set of anti-slip pads 203 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each fixed rod 204. Through the sliders 205, the fixed rods 204 and the anti-slip pads 203 can move up and down, so that the anti-slip pads 203 come into contact with the ground, thereby improving the overall stability during use.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a set of screws 202 are threaded through the top of the fixed plate 201. The outer wall of the screws 202 is threaded through the inner wall of the slider 205. Through the screws 202, the slider 205 connected to it can be driven to move up and down within the fixed plate 201, which indirectly enables the anti-slip pad 203 to move up and down.

[0037] The usage and working principle of this device: After the entire assembly is moved to the designated location via the self-locking wheel 103, the brake block on the self-locking wheel 103 is manually operated to make it press tightly against the wheel, locking the wheel in its current position and preventing it from rolling further. Then, the screw 202 is turned, which simultaneously moves the connected slider 205 downward within the fixed plate 201. During this downward movement, the fixed rod 204 and the anti-slip pad 203 are also moved, allowing the anti-slip pad 203 to contact the ground. This contact improves the overall stability during use. Then, P... The control panel on the LC controller 105 activates the electric actuator 106, which, through its extension and retraction, allows for height adjustment of the movable plate 109, water storage tank 113, emulsification tank 112, and medicine storage tank 116. This enables users of different heights to add liquid to the storage tanks. Adding liquid is done by removing the sealing cap 115 from the first inlet pipe 114. After adding liquid, the sealing cap 115 is replaced. The control panel then activates two centrifugal pumps 122, which pump the water and medicine from the storage tanks into the delivery pipe 120. The solution is fed into the regulating valve 119, while the external electromagnetic flowmeter 123 monitors the flow rate of the reagent and water in real time. Based on the flow signal fed back from the flowmeter, the PLC controller 105 can precisely adjust the speed of the centrifugal pump 122, thereby achieving a precise ratio of reagent and water. With the assistance of the regulating valve 119, the flow rate of the reagent and water can be adjusted to ensure that the ratio of reagent and water entering the emulsification tank 112 meets the process requirements. After delivery, the user removes the sealing cap 115 from the second inlet pipe 121. The required amount of emulsifier is poured in. After pouring, the sealing cap 115 is reset, and the servo motor 117 is started so that the stirring rod 118 can rotate. When rotating, the liquid in the emulsion tank 112 can be stirred to fully mix the reagent and water. After a certain period of stirring, a uniform and stable emulsion is formed. The emulsified reagent emulsion can be discharged through the solenoid valve 111. The overall operation process is highly automated, avoiding the need for manual intervention, reducing the impact of inconsistent manual operation on the emulsification effect, and ensuring the stability of the flotation effect.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
