Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rock sample processing device for mineral exploration, belonging to the technical field of rock sample processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Mineral resources refer to all natural mineral or rock resources buried underground that can be used by humans. Mineral resources can be classified into metallic, non-metallic, and combustible organic categories. They are non-renewable resources. With the deepening of geological research, during geological and mineral exploration, workers often need to collect samples of geological rocks from mines for research. However, freshly collected geological rocks are often quite large, making them inconvenient to study. Therefore, freshly collected geological rocks first need to be crushed to a certain size before further research can be conducted. Of course, crushing them too finely is also not conducive to further research.

[0003] However, existing rock sample processing equipment can only cut rock samples during the crushing process, and cannot completely crush them, resulting in poor subsequent research results. Furthermore, the cutting process causes rock fragments to fly around, causing pollution. In addition, collected mine geological rocks often contain soil and other contaminants, and the dust generated during crushing further contributes to this problem. Therefore, using crushed rock samples directly for research will also affect the research results.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a rock sample processing device for mineral exploration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a mineral exploration rock sample processing device.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a rock sample processing device for mineral exploration is designed, characterized by comprising a shell, a crushing roller assembly, a first filter plate, a second filter plate, a cleaning component, and a dewatering mechanism. A crushing chamber is provided at the upper end of the shell, and the crushing roller assembly is arranged inside the crushing chamber to crush the rock sample. A first filter plate is arranged below the crushing chamber, and a second filter plate is arranged below the first filter plate. The first and second filter plates are respectively provided with densely packed filter holes, and the diameter of the filter holes on the first filter plate is larger than that on the second filter plate. The crushed rock sample is sequentially conveyed and filtered along the first and second filter plates inside the crushing chamber. A cleaning component is arranged above the lower end of the second filter plate to wash the rock sample passing below the second filter plate. A dewatering mechanism is provided at the discharge end of the second filter plate, and the washed rock sample enters the dewatering mechanism for collection and dewatering.

[0007] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided below the second filter plate. The first filter plate, the second filter plate, and the guide plate are respectively inclinedly arranged inside the outer shell. A coarse material outlet is opened on the outer shell at the lower end of the first filter plate, a qualified material outlet is opened on the outer shell at the lower end of the second filter plate, and a fine material outlet is opened on the outer shell at the lower end of the guide plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a water pump, a connecting pipe, a cleaning pipe, and nozzles. Multiple cleaning pipes are arranged above the lower end of the second filter plate, and multiple nozzles are axially arranged on the cleaning pipes. The water pump is installed inside the housing and connected to an external water source. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the water pump, and the other end is connected to all the cleaning pipes.

[0009] Furthermore, the crushing chamber is located above the center of the second filter plate, a pump chamber is located on the right side of the crushing chamber, the water pump is installed in the pump chamber, and the cleaning pipe is located below the pump chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the range of filter holes on the second filter plate does not extend beyond the crushing chamber to the right.

[0011] Furthermore, the dewatering mechanism includes a dewatering hopper and a warm air blower. The warm air blower and the dewatering hopper are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the qualified material outlet. The dewatering hopper includes a dewatering base plate and baffles installed on both sides of the dewatering base plate. Dense dewatering slits are opened on the dewatering base plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the water removal base plate is inclined upwards.

[0013] Furthermore, this design also includes a coarse material collection box and a wastewater collection tank. A shelf is provided below the coarse material outlet, and the coarse material collection box is placed on the shelf. The wastewater collection tank is placed below the dewatering hopper. Both the coarse material collection box and the wastewater collection tank have an open top structure.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a mineral exploration rock sample processing device includes a shell 1, a crushing roller group 2, a first filter plate 3, a second filter plate 4, a cleaning component 5, and a water removal mechanism.

[0024] A crushing chamber 6 is provided at the upper end of the outer shell 1. The bottom of the crushing chamber 6 is a sloping surface, and a discharge port is provided at the lower end of the sloping surface to facilitate the rapid discharge of rock samples from the crushing chamber 6. The crushing roller assembly 2 is installed inside the crushing chamber 6 to crush the rock samples. It is understood that a drive motor is generally installed outside the outer shell 1 to drive the crushing roller assembly 2 to rotate. A first filter plate 3 is provided below the crushing chamber 6, with its upper end connected to the discharge port of the crushing chamber 6. A second filter plate 4 is provided below the first filter plate 3. Both the first and second filter plates have densely packed filter holes, with the diameter of the filter holes on the first filter plate 3 being larger than that on the second filter plate 4. After the crushed rock samples exit the discharge port of the crushing chamber 6, they are sequentially filtered along the first filter plate 3 and the second filter plate 4. The crushed rock samples pass through the first filter plate 3 to remove larger rock samples, and then through the second filter plate 4 to remove smaller rock samples. The rock samples exiting the second filter plate 4 are the appropriately sized samples required for experimental testing.

[0025] A cleaning component 5 is installed above the lower end of the second filter plate 4. The cleaning component 5 washes the rock sample passing through the lower end of the second filter plate 4, removing the mud and dust originally carried by the rock sample and generated during the crushing process, facilitating subsequent testing and experiments. A dewatering mechanism is installed at the discharge end of the second filter plate 4. The washed rock sample enters the dewatering mechanism for collection and dewatering. On the one hand, the washed rock sample accumulates on the dewatering mechanism, awaiting use or transfer; on the other hand, the washed rock sample undergoes dewatering at the dewatering mechanism, improving drying efficiency.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] This embodiment is a further optimization and refinement of the rock sample processing device structure based on Embodiment 1, specifically as follows:

[0028] The mineral exploration rock sample processing device described in this embodiment includes a guide plate 7 below the second filter plate 4, through which the fine material filtered by the second filter plate 4 is discharged out of the outer shell 1. The first filter plate 3, the second filter plate 4, and the guide plate 7 are respectively inclined inside the outer shell 1, generally at an angle of 5-25°, preferably at an angle of 10°. A coarse material outlet 8 is opened on the outer shell 1 at the lower end of the first filter plate 3, a qualified material outlet 9 is opened on the outer shell 1 at the lower end of the second filter plate 4, and a fine material outlet 10 is opened on the outer shell 1 at the lower end of the guide plate 7. The coarse material outlet 8 and the fine material outlet 10 are located on the same side of the outer shell 1, and the qualified material outlet 9 is located on the opposite side of the coarse material outlet 8, which facilitates the collection and processing of qualified material.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] This embodiment is a further optimization and refinement of the structure of the cleaning component 5 based on embodiment 2, specifically as follows:

[0031] The cleaning assembly 5 includes a water pump 11, a connecting pipe 12, cleaning pipes 13, and nozzles 14. Three cleaning pipes 13 are arranged above the lower end of the second filter plate 4, running horizontally across the second filter plate 4 and arranged side by side. Multiple nozzles 14 are axially arranged on each cleaning pipe 13, and the spray range of all nozzles 14 on each cleaning pipe 13 completely covers the second filter plate 4 laterally, so that the rock sample transported on the second filter plate 4 is thoroughly cleaned. The water pump 11 is installed inside the housing 1, and its input end is connected to an external water source (not shown in the attached figure, conventional technology). One end of the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the output end of the water pump 11, and the other end is connected to all the cleaning pipes 13.

[0032] Example 4

[0033] This embodiment is a further optimization and refinement of the rock sample processing device structure based on Embodiment 3, specifically as follows:

[0034] In this embodiment, the mineral exploration rock sample processing device has a crushing chamber 6 located above the middle of the second filter plate 4, so that the rock samples that initially fall onto the first filter plate 3 and the second filter plate 4 can pass through a certain distance of filtration to achieve effective filtration and sorting. A pump chamber 15 is provided on the right side of the crushing chamber 6 to make full use of the installation space. The water pump 11 is installed in the pump chamber 15, and the cleaning pipe 13 is provided below the pump chamber 15.

[0035] In this embodiment, the range of the filter holes on the second filter plate 4 does not extend beyond the crushing chamber 6 to the right, so that when the rock sample falling onto the second filter plate 4 enters the cleaning range of the cleaning component 5 after being filtered and sorted over a certain distance, the water flow for cleaning the rock sample will not enter the guide plate 7 along the filter holes of the second filter plate 4, which facilitates the drying and collection of fine materials. The wastewater after cleaning falls into the dewatering mechanism along with the rock sample, which also facilitates the collection of wastewater.

[0036] Example 5

[0037] This embodiment is a further optimization and refinement of the water removal mechanism based on Embodiment 4, specifically as follows:

[0038] The dewatering mechanism includes a dewatering hopper 16 and a warm air blower 17. The warm air blower 17 and the dewatering hopper 16 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the qualified material outlet 9. The dewatering hopper 16 includes a dewatering base plate 18 and baffles 19 installed on both sides of the dewatering base plate 18. Dense dewatering slits are opened on the dewatering base plate 18. The rock sample filtered by the second filter plate 4 enters the dewatering hopper 16.

[0039] In this embodiment, the water removal base plate 18 is inclined upward to prevent the rock sample from entering the water removal hopper 16 after coming out of the second filter plate 4 from continuing to move and spill out of the water removal hopper 16. In addition, the upward inclination of the water removal base plate 18 also facilitates water removal.

[0040] Example 6

[0041] This embodiment is a further optimization and refinement of the rock sample processing device structure based on Embodiment 5, specifically as follows:

[0042] The mineral exploration rock sample processing device described in this embodiment further includes a coarse material collection box 20 and a wastewater collection tank 21. A shelf 22 is provided below the coarse material outlet 8, and the coarse material collection box 20 is placed on the shelf 22. The wastewater collection tank 21 is placed below the dewatering hopper 16. Both the coarse material collection box 20 and the wastewater collection tank 21 have an open top structure. In use, the material collected by the coarse material collection box 20 can be poured back into the crushing chamber 6 for reuse.

[0043] It is understandable that the rock sample processing device of this application will generally also be equipped with a control panel, which controls the start and stop of the crushing roller group 2, the cleaning component 5 and the dewatering mechanism warm air blower 17, or is used for emergency shutdown, etc.

[0044] When using this application, start the crushing roller group 2 and the cleaning component 5, and then put the rock sample to be crushed into the crushing chamber 6. After the rock sample is crushed in the crushing chamber 6, it enters the first filter plate 3. The larger rock samples are removed by the first filter plate 3, and then it enters the second filter plate 4. The smaller rock samples are removed by the second filter plate 4. The qualified and suitable rock samples roll out along the second filter plate 4. When passing through the cleaning component 5, they are washed clean by the clean water sprayed by the nozzle 14. The washed rock samples enter the dewatering hopper 16 and are left to stand to remove water. When the rock samples in the crushing chamber 6 are crushed and no more rock samples are discharged from the qualified material outlet 9, turn off the crushing roller group 2 and the cleaning component 5, and start the warm air fan 17 of the dewatering mechanism to speed up the dewatering and drying of the rock samples in the dewatering hopper 16. Then the rock samples in the dewatering hopper 16 can be transferred for later use.

[0045] It should be noted that the crushing, washing, and dehydration drying processes of the rock samples described above can be set to continuous automated control, which is a means that can be achieved with existing technology and will not be described in detail here; of course, semi-automatic manual control of start and stop is also possible.

[0046] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the terms "multiple," "multiple roots," and "multiple groups" mean two or more, and "several," "several roots," and "several groups" mean one or more. In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0047] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
