Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball mill technology, and in particular to an elastic support mechanism for a vibratory ball mill. Background Technology

[0002] A vibratory ball mill is a high-efficiency pulverizing device that uses high-frequency vibration to drive grinding media to impact, rub, and shear materials. It mainly consists of a frame, vibrator (including an eccentric block or vibratory motor), grinding jar (cylinder), cooling system, grinding media (steel balls, steel rods, etc.), and control system. The vibratory motor or eccentric block drives the grinding jar to generate high-frequency vibration (typically 16-20 Hz, amplitude 7-14 mm), causing the grinding media to collide violently with the material, achieving a combined effect of impact, compression, and friction. The vibration energy transfer efficiency is 2-5 times that of traditional ball mills, making it particularly suitable for preparing micron- to nano-scale ultrafine powders.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN222240558U discloses a horizontal vibrating ball mill, including a frame, a barrel body, and a motor mounted on the frame. The barrel body is placed horizontally and positioned above the frame. A rotating shaft is horizontally inserted into the barrel body, with its two ends extending out of the barrel body and connected to corresponding bearings, and mounted on a support frame located above the frame. The motor is horizontally positioned on the other side of the frame, and the motor is connected to the rotating shaft via a transmission structure. A bidirectional buffer unit is installed between the support frame and the frame. This utility model mounts the barrel body on the frame via a support frame and installs a bidirectional buffer unit between the support frame and the frame. This facilitates the absorption of vibrations and displacements generated during the ball mill's vibration process, providing timely buffering and stabilizing of the barrel body and the connection strength between the barrel body and the transmission structure and motor, ensuring stable operation of the ball mill and improving production efficiency.

[0004] In the above scheme, vibration reduction is achieved through a bidirectional buffer unit between the support frame and the machine frame. While this structure can effectively buffer and stabilize the barrel and the connection strength between the barrel and the transmission structure and motor, ensuring stable operation of the ball mill, the core working principle of a vibratory ball mill is to transmit energy to crush materials through high-frequency vibration (1000-3000 times / minute) and a specific amplitude (2-4mm). The vertical spring design is mainly to match the vibration requirements in the vertical direction, while the introduction of a horizontal spring will change the overall stiffness of the system, potentially disrupting the original balance of vibration frequency and amplitude. For example, if the stiffness of the horizontal spring does not match that of the vertical spring, it will cause the vibration trajectory to deviate from the design direction, reducing energy transmission efficiency and even causing resonance risks. In addition, the energy transmission of the vibratory ball mill is asymmetrically distributed, mainly concentrated in the lower edge area of ​​the barrel, while the upper and middle parts are prone to forming low-energy zones. The constraint of the horizontal spring may restrict the horizontal degree of freedom of the barrel, exacerbating the unevenness of energy distribution, making it difficult for the material to fully participate in vibration in the horizontal direction, resulting in a decrease in crushing efficiency.

[0005] On the other hand, when the grinding cylinder is rotating and discharging material, if it is only supported by the buffer unit between the vibrating table and the direct shaft, the grinding cylinder is in a suspended state. During the discharge process, it is very easy to be affected by the discharge of internal material, causing vibration or slight displacement, which in turn affects the discharge effect. For example, the material should be accurately discharged into the collection bucket corresponding to the discharge port.

[0006] Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the problems of the prior art and provide an elastic support mechanism for a vibratory ball mill. This mechanism addresses the technical problems of existing technologies where the use of horizontal springs restricts the horizontal freedom of the cylinder, exacerbates the uneven distribution of energy, makes it difficult for materials to fully participate in vibration in the horizontal direction, and leads to a decrease in crushing efficiency; and the lack of support at the inlet and outlet ports during discharge makes them highly susceptible to vibration or slight displacement due to the discharge of internal materials, thus affecting the discharge effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the tray elastic support assembly includes an upper tray spring support connected to the right-angle flange of the upper tray and a middle tray spring support connected to the right-angle flange of the middle tray, and the connection is achieved through tray springs.

[0015] Furthermore, the vibration table plate elastic support assembly includes an upper connecting portion disposed on the bottom surface of the vibration table plate and a lower connecting portion disposed on the surface of the support, wherein the upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion are connected by an elastic component.

A second movable space 201 for the grinding cylinder 3 to rotate is provided on the support 2. The first movable space 101 and the second movable space 201 are interconnected.
