[0002] Carbide ball teeth, with their unique properties, are widely used in oilfield drilling and snow removal, snowplows, and other equipment. They also find excellent applications in cutting tools, mining machinery, road maintenance, and coal drilling tools. Mining carbide ball teeth are primarily used as excavation tools in quarrying, mining, tunneling, and civil engineering. Additionally, they are used as drill bit accessories in heavy-duty rock drills or deep-hole drill bits. Depending on their design, carbide ball teeth come in many types, including conical balls, wedges, coal cutting teeth, road cutting teeth, flat-topped teeth, pointed teeth, spoon-shaped teeth, and mushroom teeth. Carbide ball teeth are an alloy material composed of a hard compound of refractory metals (such as tungsten carbide powder) and a binder metal (such as cobalt or nickel powder), and are widely used in various mechanical transmission systems.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a ball milling device for producing cemented carbide ball teeth, including a ball milling cylinder 1 and a cooling assembly 2. The ball milling cylinder 1 has a first sieve plate 11 inside, a first ball milling chamber 12 is formed on one side of the first sieve plate 11, and a second ball milling chamber 13 is formed on the other side of the first sieve plate 11. A second sieve plate 16 is provided at the discharge end of the ball milling cylinder 1. Grinding bodies 14 and liners 15 are provided in both the first ball milling chamber 12 and the second ball milling chamber 13. The cooling assembly 2 includes a water tank 21 and a water pump 22. One end of the water pump 22 is connected to the water tank 21, and the other end of the water pump 22 is connected to a water supply pipe 23. One end of the water supply pipe 23 is connected to a spray pipe 24, and the spray pipe 24 is located above the ball milling cylinder 1.
[0024] Cooling water is pre-introduced into the water tank 21. During the ball milling process, the water pump 22 works to extract the cooling water from the water tank 21 and deliver it to the spray pipe 24 through the water pipe 23. Finally, the cooling water is sprayed out through the spray pipe 24 and evenly sprayed onto the outer wall of the ball mill 1. It then flows down the outer wall and eventually returns to the water tank 21. During the ball milling process, the ball mill 1 is cooled by spraying cooling water onto the outer wall of the ball mill 1, thereby dissipating the heat inside the mill in a timely manner, avoiding the phenomenon of clogging, and improving the quality of ball milling.
[0025] The raw material first enters the first ball mill chamber 12 through the feed end 17, and then enters the second ball mill chamber 13. Inside the first ball mill chamber 12, the raw material moves continuously towards the discharge end under the action of centrifugal force, impact force, and extrusion force. The raw material that has passed through the first screen plate 11 enters the second ball mill chamber 13. The raw material that has not been completely ground continues to be ground in the first ball mill chamber 12 until it is ground to a qualified state. Similarly, inside the second ball mill chamber 13, the raw material moves continuously towards the discharge end under the action of centrifugal force, impact force, and extrusion force. The raw material that has passed through the second screen plate 16 is discharged. The raw material that has not been completely ground continues to be ground in the second ball mill chamber 13, so that the raw material discharged from the discharge end of the ball mill 1 is all completely ground, thus improving the grinding quality.
[0026] The ball mill cylinder 1 is driven by an electric motor 7. A driven wheel 19 is provided on the outside of the ball mill cylinder 1. The output shaft of the electric motor 7 is fixedly connected to the driving wheel 71. The driving wheel 71 and the driven wheel 19 are connected by a synchronous belt 72.
[0027] When the electric motor 7 is working, it drives the drive wheel 71 at one end to rotate. Through the synchronous belt 72, it drives the driven wheel 19 to rotate. The driven wheel 19 drives the ball mill cylinder 1 to make a circular motion. When the ball mill cylinder 1 rotates, the grinding media 14 adheres to the liner plate 15 due to inertia. As the ball mill cylinder 1 accelerates, the grinding media 14 is carried to a certain height by centrifugal force, forming a projectile state. At this time, the grinding media 14 impacts the raw materials in the cylinder at high speed, producing a crushing effect. During the revolution, the grinding media 14 generates friction with the cylinder and adjacent grinding media 14, further grinding the raw materials to achieve finer grinding and mixing of different raw materials.
[0028] The ball mill cylinder 1 has a feed end 17 at one end and a support end 18 at the other end. The raw material enters the interior of the ball mill cylinder 1 through the feed end 17.
[0029] The ball mill cylinder 1 has a first bearing seat 4 on one side and a second bearing seat 5 on the other side. The feed end 17 is connected to the first bearing seat 4 by a bearing, and the support end 18 is connected to the second bearing seat 5 by a bearing. The ball mill cylinder 1 is supported by the first bearing seat 4 and the second bearing seat 5. At the same time, the feed end 17 of the ball mill cylinder 1 can rotate relative to the first bearing seat 4, and the support end 18 of the ball mill cylinder 1 can rotate relative to the second bearing seat 5.
[0030] The feed end 17 of the ball mill cylinder 1 is connected to the feed hopper 6, and the feed hopper 6 and the feed end 17 are connected by a bearing.
[0031] The feed hopper 6 is fixed to the base frame by the fixing frame 61. The feed hopper 6 is in a fixed state, and the feed end 17 of the ball mill cylinder 1 can rotate relative to the feed hopper 6. During the rotation of the ball mill cylinder 1, the feed hopper 6 can feed the material normally.
[0032] The water tank 21 is equipped with a drain pipe 25, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe 25, which can drain the water in the water tank 21 by opening the drain pipe 25.
[0033] The liner 15 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the ball mill cylinder 1. Multiple sets of liners 15 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ball mill cylinder 1. When the ball mill cylinder 1 rotates, the grinding media 14 adheres to the liner 15 due to inertia and is carried to a certain height.
[0034] A collection box 3 is placed below the discharge end of the ball mill cylinder 1. The raw materials discharged from the discharge end of the ball mill cylinder 1 enter the collection box 3 and are collected by the collection box 3.
[0035] Working principle: During operation, a certain proportion of raw materials are fed into the ball mill cylinder 1 through the feed hopper 6. The motor 7 drives the ball mill cylinder 1 to rotate. The raw materials first enter the first ball mill chamber 12 through the feed end 17. Inside the first ball mill chamber 12, the raw materials move continuously towards the discharge end under the action of centrifugal force, impact force, and extrusion force. The ground raw materials pass through the first sieve plate 11 and enter the second ball mill chamber 13. The incompletely ground raw materials continue to be ground in the first ball mill chamber 12 until they are ground to a satisfactory state. Inside the second ball mill chamber 13, the raw materials are ground under the action of centrifugal force, impact force, and extrusion force. The material continuously moves towards the discharge end. After being properly ground, the raw material passes through the second screen plate 16 and is discharged. The incompletely ground material continues to be ground in the second ball mill chamber 13. The discharged material enters the collection box 3. During the ball milling process, the water pump 22 works to extract the cooling water in the water tank 21 and deliver it to the spray pipe 24 through the water pipe 23. Finally, the cooling water is sprayed out through the spray pipe 24 and evenly sprayed onto the outer wall of the ball mill 1. It flows down along the outer wall and eventually flows back into the water tank 21. The ball mill 1 is cooled by spraying cooling water onto the outer wall of the ball mill 1.
