Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of flotation machine technology, and more specifically, to a flotation machine for splash-proof ore. Background Technology

[0002] Flotation machine is short for flotation mineral processing machine. It refers to mechanical equipment that completes the flotation process. In the flotation machine, mineral slurry treated with reagents is introduced. Through agitation and aeration, some mineral particles are selectively fixed on the air bubbles and float to the surface of the slurry to be scraped off to form a froth product. The rest remain in the slurry, so as to achieve the purpose of separating minerals.

[0003] Traditional flotation machines have relatively simple aeration devices with complex structures, high costs, and high energy consumption. The aeration devices also produce uneven and large bubbles. When large bubbles float to the surface of the flotation machine, they are prone to breaking. This not only causes the mineral particles attached to the bubble surface to sink back into the slurry, thus affecting the mineral flotation efficiency of the flotation machine, but also may cause the slurry attached to the bubble to splash onto the inner wall of the flotation machine, making the cleaning of the flotation machine extremely troublesome.

[0004] Therefore, improvements have been made to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a splash-proof flotation machine, which solves the technical problems in the prior art that not only cause the mineral particles attached to the surface of the bubbles to sink back into the slurry, thus affecting the mineral flotation efficiency of the flotation machine, but also cause the slurry attached to the bubbles to splash onto the inner wall of the flotation machine, making the cleaning of the flotation machine extremely troublesome.

[0006] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a flotation machine for splash-proof ore, comprising:

[0007] The processing box and the outer frame, wherein the outer frame is disposed outside the processing box;

[0008] An inner lubricating material layer and a cleaning and scraping assembly are provided, wherein the inner lubricating material layer is disposed inside the processing box and the cleaning and scraping assembly is disposed in the processing box;

[0013] As a further technical solution, a shovel plate is provided at one end of the rotating shaft, a discharge port is provided on the side surface of the processing box, the discharge port is located at the upper end of the inner sliding material layer, and a central cover is provided on the outer surface of the processing box, the central cover is located at the discharge port.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the homogenization component includes an air inlet pipe connected to the outer wall of the treatment tank, and an aeration hood is provided at one end of the air inlet pipe, with dispersion holes opened on the bottom surface of the aeration hood.

[0015] As a further technical solution, a partition is fixed inside the processing box, one end of the partition is located outside the processing box, a second motor is installed inside the partition, and an impeller is installed at the output end of the second motor.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the protective cleaning component includes a top cover, which is disposed on the top of the processing box. A horizontal pipe is disposed inside the top cover, and a flushing nozzle is disposed on the surface of the horizontal pipe.

[0017] As a further technical solution, side baffles are provided at both ends of the surface of the shovel plate.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the shroud portion located at the outer end of the processing box has an open structure.

[0020] As a further technical solution, the top cover has a semi-circular structure.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0022] 1. In this disclosure, a cleaning and scraping assembly is provided. Through the cooperation of the drive screw and the moving seat, the movement of the shovel plate can be flexibly controlled to promptly scoop up and discharge the foam generated by flotation, avoiding foam accumulation that would cause the mineral particles to sink again. Furthermore, the design of the side baffle, the inner sliding material layer, and the centralized cover effectively prevents foam overflow and accumulation, thereby improving flotation efficiency and the stability of equipment operation.

[0023] 2. In this disclosure, a homogenization component is provided. The dispersing pores of the aeration hood allow the gas to enter the slurry evenly. The agitation of the impeller further refines and evenly distributes the bubbles, reducing the problems caused by the collapse of large bubbles, increasing the adhesion probability of minerals to bubbles, thereby improving the mineral flotation efficiency of the flotation machine, while optimizing the aeration effect and reducing energy consumption.

[0024] 3. In this disclosure, a protective cleaning component is provided. The semi-circular structure of the top cover not only protects against slurry splashing but also facilitates observation of the internal condition of the equipment.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a splash-proof flotation machine for ore according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising:

[0038] Processing box 1 and outer frame 2, with outer frame 2 located outside processing box 1;

[0039] The inner sliding material layer 3 and the cleaning and scraping component 4 are provided inside the processing box 1.

[0040] Homogenization component 5 is located inside processing box 1;

[0041] Protective cleaning component 6 is located on top of the processing box 1;

[0042] The cleaning and scraping assembly 4 includes a side opening 4-1, which is located on the side surface of the processing box 1. A pair of slide rails 4-2 are provided inside the outer frame 2, and a movable seat 4-3 is slidably connected to the slide rails 4-2. A drive screw 4-4 is provided inside the outer frame 2, and the drive screw 4-4 is connected to the movable seat 4-3 by a threaded connection. A drive motor 4-5 is installed on the movable seat 4-3, and a rotating shaft 4-6 is provided at the output end of the drive motor 4-5. The rotating shaft 4-6 passes through the side opening 4-1 and is located inside the processing box 1. A scraper plate 4-7 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 4-6. A discharge port 4-8 is provided on the side surface of the processing box 1, which is located at the upper end of the inner material layer 3. A collection cover 4-9 is provided on the outer surface of the processing box 1, which is located at the discharge port 4-8.

[0043] In some examples, to achieve a rapid splash-proof cleaning effect, a cleaning assembly 4 is designed, including a side opening 4-1, which is opened on the side surface of the processing box 1. A pair of slide rails 4-2 are provided inside the outer frame 2, and a movable seat 4-3 is slidably connected to the slide rails 4-2. Inside the outer frame 2, there is also a drive screw 4-4 that is threadedly connected to the movable seat 4-3. The drive screw 4-4 can control the reciprocating movement of the movable seat 4-3. A drive motor 4-5 is mounted on the movable seat 4-3. The output end of the motor 4-5 is equipped with a rotating shaft 4-6 that passes through the side opening 4-1 and is located inside the processing box 1. One end of the rotating shaft 4-6 is equipped with a shovel 4-7. The shovel 4-7 can scoop up the foam by moving in a straight line and flip it outward to the surface of the inner sliding material layer 3. The side surface of the processing box 1 has a discharge port 4-8 located at the upper end of the inner sliding material layer 3. The outer surface of the processing box 1 is equipped with a collection cover 4-9 at the discharge port 4-8. The foam is discharged outward through the discharge port 4-8 and the collection cover 4-9.

[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a homogenization component 5 including an air inlet pipe 5-1, which is connected to the outer wall of the treatment box 1. An aeration hood 5-2 is provided at one end of the air inlet pipe 5-1. A dispersion air hole 5-3 is opened on the bottom surface of the aeration hood 5-2. A partition 5-4 is fixed inside the treatment box 1. One end of the partition 5-4 is located outside the treatment box 1. A second motor 5-5 is provided inside the partition 5-4. An impeller 5-6 is provided at the output end of the second motor 5-5.

[0045] In some examples, to achieve the effect of homogenized aeration, a homogenization component 5 is designed, including an air inlet pipe 5-1. The air inlet pipe 5-1 is connected to the outer wall of the treatment box 1 and can be connected to the aeration equipment. One end of the air inlet pipe 5-1 is provided with an aeration hood 5-2 and a dispersion air hole 5-3 is opened on the bottom surface. Aeration can be introduced into the treatment box 1 through the dispersion air hole 5-3. A diaphragm 5-4 with one end located outside the treatment box 1 is fixed inside the treatment box 1. A second motor 5-5 is provided inside the diaphragm 5-4, and an impeller 5-6 is installed at its output end, which can rotate and agitate during the aeration process.

[0046] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a protective cleaning component 6 including a top cover 6-1, which is located on the top of the processing box 1. A horizontal pipe 6-2 is provided inside the top cover 6-1, and a flushing nozzle 6-3 is provided on the surface of the horizontal pipe 6-2.

[0047] In some examples, a protective cleaning component 6 is designed to achieve both protection and washability. A top cover 6-1 is provided on the top of the treatment tank 1. A horizontal pipe 6-2 and a flushing nozzle 6-3 are installed in the top cover 6-1, which can be connected to a water supply device to flush the inner sliding material layer 3 and the surface of the shovel plate 4-7.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, side baffles 7 are provided at both ends of the surface of the shovel plate 4-7.

[0049] In some examples, by providing side baffles 7, overflow at the side opening 4-1 can be prevented by blocking the sides of the shovel plate 4-7.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shroud 5-4 located at the outer end of the processing box 1 has an open structure.

[0051] In some examples, the open structure facilitates the external dissipation of heat from the internal second motor 5-5.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner lubricating layer 3 is fixed at an inclined angle, and the concentrated cover 4-9 has the same inclined angle as the inner lubricating layer 3.

[0053] In some examples, by tilting the foam at an angle, it can be quickly slid outwards, preventing it from piling up.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top cover 6-1 has a semi-circular structure.

[0055] In some examples, a semi-circular structure is used to provide protection while allowing easy viewing of the interior.

[0056] In practical use: The treated slurry is injected into the treatment tank 1, and the air inlet pipe 5-1 is connected to the aeration equipment. Gas enters the slurry evenly through the dispersion holes 5-3 on the bottom surface of the aeration hood 5-2. At the same time, the drive motor 4-5 inside the diaphragm 5-4 drives the impeller 5-6 to rotate and agitate the slurry, making the bubbles more uniform and fine, reducing the occurrence of mineral particles re-sinking due to bubble breakage and slurry splashing. During the flotation process, the drive screw 4-4 drives the moving seat 4-3 to move on the slide rail 4-2, and the drive motor 4-5 on the moving seat 4-3 rotates... The rotating shaft 4-6 drives the shovel plate 4-7 to move inside the processing box 1. The shovel plate 4-7 scoops up the foam generated by flotation and discharges it through the outlet 4-8 and the collection hood 4-9. The side baffles 7 at both ends of the shovel plate 4-7 prevent foam from overflowing. The inclined design of the inner sliding material layer 3 allows the foam to slide out quickly. When cleaning is required, the horizontal pipe 6-2 of the top cover 6-1 is connected to the water supply equipment, and the flushing nozzle 6-3 flushes the inner sliding material layer 3 and the surface of the shovel plate 4-7. The semi-circular structure of the top cover 6-1 serves both a protective function and facilitates the viewing of the internal conditions.

[0057] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
