Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon dioxide production technology, and in particular to a supersonic airflow pulverizer for preparing high-purity silicon dioxide. Background Technology
[0002] High-purity silicon dioxide, as a high-performance silicon material, occupies an indispensable position in high-tech fields due to its excellent physical properties, such as scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in the manufacture of quartz glass, integrated circuit boards, optical fiber communication, polycrystalline silicon, and optical instruments.
[0003] In recent years, with the widespread use of high-purity silica in materials, electronics, and pharmaceutical fields, its market demand has become increasingly strong. Different fields have different requirements for the particle size of high-purity silica, which needs to be obtained by grinding. In order not to introduce impurities and reduce purity, grinding is carried out using an air jet mill.
[0004] The working principle of an air jet mill is as follows: Compressed air (or inert gas), after being filtered and dried, is injected at high speed into the grinding zone through a Laval nozzle. At the confluence of multiple high-pressure airflows, the material is repeatedly pulverized through collision, friction, and shearing. The pulverized material, under the suction of a fan, moves with the rising airflow to the separation zone. Under the strong centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating classifying turbine, coarse and fine materials are separated. Fine particles that meet the particle size requirements are collected by the classifying wheel into a cyclone separator and dust collector, while coarse particles descend back to the grinding zone for further pulverization. However, since both coarse and fine particles rise, the separation load on the separating wheel is high, resulting in low overall grinding efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a supersonic airflow pulverizer for the preparation of high-purity silica, which solves the problems of high separation load and low grinding efficiency of existing airflow pulverizers.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A supersonic airflow pulverizer 1 for preparing high-purity silica includes: a main body 11, a feeding module 12, an air jet module 13, a separation module 14, and an adjustment module 15.
[0033] The main body 11 has a cylindrical structure and a grinding cavity 111 inside. A feeding module 12 is located in the upper part of the main body 11, conveying material into the grinding cavity 111. An air jet module 13 is arranged around the main body 11, simultaneously injecting compressed gas into the grinding cavity 111 through a Laval nozzle 131. The air jet module 13 is located below the feeding module 12. A separation module 14 is located at the top of the main body 11, separating particles within the grinding cavity 111. Specifically, the separation module 14 includes a separation motor 142 and a separation wheel 141. The separation motor 142 drives the separation wheel 141, located at the top of the grinding cavity 111, to rotate. A discharge pipe 143 is located at the center of the separation wheel 141, conveying the separated material out of the grinding cavity 111.
[0034] An adjustment module 15 is positioned below the separation module 14. The adjustment module 15 includes a blocking element 151 and a support element 152. One end of the support element 152 is mounted on the main body 11, and the other end is hinged to the blocking element 151. At least four blocking elements 151 are distributed radially along the main body 11. Specifically, the high-purity silica preparation supersonic airflow pulverizer 1 is vertically oriented, with the axial direction of the main body 11 being vertical and the radial direction being horizontal. That is, the blocking elements 151 are distributed horizontally, with multiple blocking elements 151 extending from the sidewall of the grinding cavity 111 towards the center of the grinding cavity 111, forming a large-area barrier on the edge region of the grinding cavity 111. The blocking elements 151 obstruct the rising airflow. Coarse particles in the rising airflow fall after contacting the blocking elements 151 and return to the grinding area to continue grinding. Fine particles in the rising airflow concentrate in the central region and do not contact the blocking elements 151. While a few fine particles at the edges lose some kinetic energy upon contact, they can still rise along the gaps between the barrier members 151 with the rising airflow. Operators can adjust the angle of the barrier members 151 as needed to control the size of the blocked area. Simultaneously, adjusting the angle of the barrier members 151 controls the direction of the rising airflow, allowing more material particles to rise with the airflow, thereby controlling the particle size distribution of the material reaching the separation module 14. Furthermore, compared to directly hinged barrier members 151 to the inner wall of the grinding cavity 111, using support members 152 to support barrier members 151 suspends the entire barrier member 151, creating a gap between the edge of the barrier member 151 and the inner wall of the grinding cavity 111. This allows coarse particles separated by the separation module 14 to settle through the gap and be re-ground, preventing the separated coarse particles from depositing on the barrier member 151.
[0035] Understandably, this invention uses the blocking component 151 to block the rising airflow, causing coarse particles in the edge area to settle upon contact with the blocking component 151 and be re-grinded, effectively reducing the load on the separation module 14 and improving grinding efficiency. Simultaneously, the hinged blocking component 151 can be adjusted in angle, allowing operators to adjust the range of the blocked rising airflow, enhancing adjustability.
[0036] In one embodiment, the barrier 151 is inclined, with the side of the barrier 151 closer to the axis of the main body 11 higher than the side of the barrier 151 farther from the axis of the main body 11. That is, the barrier 151 gradually rises from the side wall of the grinding cavity 111 to the center of the grinding cavity 111, blocking coarse particles while reducing the impact on the rising airflow, allowing as many fine particles as possible to rise to the separation module 14, thus improving efficiency.
[0037] In one embodiment, the barrier 151 includes a first spacer 1511 and a second spacer 1512, the second spacer 1512 being slidably connected to the first spacer 1511, and the first spacer 1511 being connected to the support 152. Specifically, the first spacer 1511 has a first groove 1513, and the second spacer 1512 slides within the first groove 1513. This arrangement allows the operator to adjust the gap between the barrier members 151 by adjusting the position of the second spacer 1512, thereby further adjusting the barrier area and enhancing the adjustability of the supersonic airflow pulverizer 1 for high-purity silica preparation.
[0038] In one embodiment, the first partition plate 1511 is provided with two second partition plates 1512, and a partition wall 1514 is provided between the second partition plates 1512. Specifically, the first slide groove 1513 is provided with a partition wall 1514 in the middle, dividing the first slide groove 1513 into two parts, and the two second partition plates 1512 slide on both sides of the partition wall 1514 respectively. This arrangement allows the first partition plate 1511 to provide more support for the second partition plates 1512. After the two second partition plates 1512 are fully extended, the force on the second partition plates 1512 can be evenly transmitted to the first partition plate 1511, preventing the second partition plates 1512 from shaking and loosening, and ensuring the stability of the structure.
[0039] In one embodiment, the longitudinal sections of the first spacer 1511 and the second spacer 1512 are arc-shaped. That is, the first spacer 1511 and the second spacer 1512 are arc-shaped plates. This arrangement allows the rising airflow to partially flow along the inner surface of the arc when it touches the spacer, forming a small airflow circulation, which accelerates the fall of coarse particles and thus improves grinding efficiency.
[0040] In one embodiment, the support member 152 is a telescopic rod, with its fixed end connected to the main body 11 and its movable end connected to the barrier member 151. This arrangement allows the operator to adjust the position of the spacer within the grinding cavity 111, further enhancing the adjustability of the adjustment module 15.
[0041] In one embodiment, the support member 152 is hinged to the barrier member 151 via a ball joint 1521. This configuration enhances the rotational range of the barrier member 151, thereby increasing the adjustability of the adjustment module 15. This allows the barrier member 151 to guide the rising airflow while simultaneously blocking it, creating a spiral airflow as needed to enhance suction. Preferably, the ball joint 1521 is equipped with a locking bolt, allowing the operator to quickly lock the angle of the barrier member 151.
[0042] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 15 further includes a central boss 153, which is disposed at the bottom of the main body 11. The height of the highest point of the central boss 153 is lower than the height of the Laval nozzle 131. Specifically, the central boss 153 is generally conical, guiding the bottom airflow after collision within the grinding cavity 111, so that the bottom airflow merges into the grinding airflow ejected from the Laval nozzle 131. After setting the central boss 153, the adjustment module 15 can guide and adjust the bottom airflow, improving the airflow circulation inside the device. Furthermore, by adjusting the height of the central boss 153, the central boss 153 is prevented from affecting the convergence of grinding airflow, and the grinding airflow is prevented from directly impacting the central boss 153, thus improving the lifespan of the central boss 153. Preferably, the central boss 153 is composed of multiple arc-shaped surfaces that gradually concave towards the axis of the grinding cavity 111, making the guidance of airflow by the central boss 153 smoother and able to carry away the material particles deposited at the bottom.
[0043] In one embodiment, a converging wall 154 is provided around the central boss 153. The converging wall 154 extends from the inner wall of the main body 11 to the bottom of the main body 11. Specifically, the converging wall 154 is composed of multiple arc-shaped walls. Each converging wall 154 is recessed towards the bottom of the main body 11, thereby guiding the airflow and forming a bottom circulation.
[0044] Preferably, in the vertical direction, the projection area of the barrier 151 partially overlaps with the projection area of the confluence wall 154.
[0045] In one embodiment, a spacer annular surface 155 is provided between the confluence wall 154 and the central boss 153. Discharge holes 156 are evenly distributed on the spacer annular surface 155, and a control valve is installed in each discharge hole 156. The spacer annular surface 155 is positioned between the central boss 153 and the confluence wall 154 to buffer the airflow. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the discharge holes 156 and the control valve allows the device to discharge material from the grinding cavity 111 through the discharge holes 156 during continuous grinding, facilitating operations such as sampling by the operator.
[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 Embodiment 1 of this utility model is: a supersonic airflow pulverizer 1 for preparing high-purity silica, comprising:
[0047] The main body 11 has a grinding cavity 111 inside;
[0048] The feeding module 12 is installed on the main body 11 to transport materials into the grinding cavity 111;
[0049] The jet module 13 is arranged around the main body 11 and injects compressed gas into the grinding cavity 111 through the Laval nozzle 131;
[0050] Separation module 14, located on top of main body 11, separates particles in grinding cavity 111;
[0051] The adjustment module 15 is located below the separation module 14. The adjustment module 15 includes a barrier 151 and a support 152. One end of the support 152 is located on the main body 11, and the other end of the support 152 is hinged to the barrier 151. Four barrier 151s are distributed radially along the main body 11.
[0052] The barrier 151 is inclined, with the side of the barrier 151 closer to the axis of the main body 11 higher than the side of the barrier 151 furthest from the axis of the main body 11. The barrier 151 includes a first partition plate 1511 and a second partition plate 1512, the second partition plate 1512 being slidably connected to the first partition plate 1511, and the first partition plate 1511 being connected to the support member 152. Two second partition plates 1512 are provided on the first partition plate 1511, and a partition wall 1514 is provided between the second partition plates 1512. The longitudinal section of the first partition plate 1511 and the second partition plate 1512 is arc-shaped.
[0053] In this embodiment, the adjustment module 15 also includes a central boss 153, which is located at the bottom of the main body 11, and the height of the highest point of the central boss 153 is lower than the height of the Laval nozzle 131.
[0054] In this embodiment, four sections of confluence walls 154 are provided around the central boss 153. The confluence walls 154 extend from the inner wall of the main body 11 to the bottom of the main body 11. A spacer annular surface 155 is provided between the confluence walls 154 and the central boss 153. Discharge holes 156 are evenly distributed on the spacer annular surface 155, and a control valve is provided in the discharge holes 156.
[0055] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator adjusts the position of the second partition plate 1512 on the first partition plate 1511, and then adjusts the angle of the partition members as a whole so that the four partition members surround and form a ring structure with gaps. After preparation, the high-purity silica to be ground is conveyed into the grinding cavity 111 through the feeding module 12. The jet module 13 uses the Laval nozzle 131 to form a supersonic grinding airflow with compressed gas. The grinding airflow drives the high-purity silica to converge and grind. The separation module 14 generates an upward airflow. The upward airflow carries the ground high-purity silica particles. The barrier 151 blocks the upward airflow, so that the upward airflow in the central area directly reaches the separation module 14. The hollow cavity in the blocked area is driven by the upward airflow to generate a secondary airflow with lower intensity, which carries the material upward. The coarse particles of the material in the secondary airflow settle and are re-ground after touching the barrier 151. The fine particles merge into the upward airflow in the central area and enter the separation module 14. The central boss 153 and the confluence wall 154 form a circulating airflow at the bottom, so that the material deposited at the bottom re-enters the grinding airflow. During the grinding process, the operator opens the control valve to discharge some of the deposited material.
