The height is adjusted according to the size of the steel ball, ensuring that the steel ball is only transported out on the conveying trough 3 each time. The cleaning effect on the steel ball is ensured by adjusting the distance between the cleaning sleeve 804 and the steel ball.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 The cleaning mechanism 8 includes a cleaning drum 801 rotatably connected to a lifting bracket 703. The outer circumference of the lifting bracket 703 is equal to the inner circumference of the cleaning drum 801. A motor 802 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base frame 1.

The outer circumference of the pressure rod 907 is equal to the inner circumference of the pressure sleeve 908. The liquid inside the absorbent sleeve 903 is squeezed out when squeezed by the pressure sleeve 908 and flows into the collection box 906 along both sides, so that the absorbent sleeve 903 can maintain the water absorption effect.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] In this ball mill steel ball cleaning device, steel balls in the feeding box 4 fall into the conveyor trough 3 and are transported out row by row by the conveyor belt 2 via the baffle 6. Rotating the screw 702 causes the lifting bracket 703 to drive the baffle 6, adjusting the height according to the size of the steel balls to ensure that the steel balls are only transported out on the conveyor trough 3 each time. The cleaning effect of the steel balls is ensured by adjusting the distance between the cleaning sleeve 804 and the steel balls. The steel balls are first sprayed with cleaning liquid through the cleaning liquid box 10, and the cleaning sleeve 804 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the motor 802, thereby better removing the stains on the surface of the steel balls. Then the rinsing liquid box 11 sprays to remove the surface cleaning liquid, thus realizing efficient and automated cleaning operation of the steel balls.

[0033] In this ball mill steel ball cleaning device, the motor 802 drives the cleaning sleeve 804 to clean while simultaneously rotating the water suction drum 902. This allows the water suction sleeve 903 to absorb the liquid from the surface of the steel balls. The liquid inside the water suction sleeve 903 is squeezed out by the pressure sleeve 908 and flows into the collection box 906 along both sides, thus maintaining the water suction effect of the water suction sleeve 903.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0035] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
