Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hydrocyclones, and in particular relates to a hydrocyclone with tangential pneumatic control to reduce the content of fine particles in the sediment. Background Technology
[0002] The hydrocyclone has an overflow port at the top and a sand-collecting port at the bottom. When the hydrocyclone is running, a high-speed rotating flow field is generated inside, and the resulting negative pressure creates a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the hydrocyclone. Since both the overflow port and the sand-collecting port are connected to the atmosphere, air is drawn in through these two outlets, thus forming an air column that is connected vertically during normal operation of the hydrocyclone.
[0003] The fine particle content at the hydrocyclone underflow outlet needs to be controlled according to production requirements. Currently, water flushing is used to control the fine particle content in the underflow, but this method affects the underflow concentration and makes it difficult to control, resulting in poor performance in controlling the fine particle content. Therefore, we propose a hydrocyclone with tangential pneumatic control to reduce the fine particle content in the underflow. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydrocyclone with tangential pneumatic control to reduce the content of fine particles in the sediment, thereby overcoming the defects existing in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives of this utility model, the technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0006] A hydrocyclone for reducing the fine particle content of sediment by tangential pneumatic control includes a hydrocyclone body, an overflow pipe installed at the top of the hydrocyclone body, a feed inlet connected to the upper part of the outer side wall of the hydrocyclone body, a pneumatic mechanism installed on the hydrocyclone body, and a sedimentation port installed at the lower end of the hydrocyclone body.
[0007] The pneumatic mechanism includes a frustum-shaped annular shell, which is coaxially fixed to the hydrocyclone body. Multiple air inlet pipes are evenly distributed and tangentially connected on the outer wall of the frustum-shaped annular shell. The multiple air inlet pipes are connected to a circular air supply pipe, which is connected to an air source through an air inlet pipe.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the circular air supply pipe is coaxially arranged with the frustum-shaped outer shell;
[0009] The air inlet pipe is tangentially connected to the circular air supply pipe.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, an electric valve is installed on the air inlet pipe, and the electric valve is electrically connected to the control cabinet.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the end of the intake pipe that connects to the frustum-shaped outer shell is tangent to the inner wall of the frustum-shaped outer shell, and the angle between the direction of gas flow at the other end of the intake pipe and the tangent of the annular air supply pipe at the connection position with the intake pipe is less than 45°.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the number of air intake pipes is four.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the hydrocyclone body includes a large conical shell, a middle conical shell, and a small conical shell. The large conical shell, the middle conical shell, and the small conical shell are sequentially and coaxially fixedly connected, and the frustum-shaped annular shell is coaxially installed between the middle conical shell and the small conical shell.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This utility model has a simple structure and reasonable design. It uses the tangential flow of airflow into the hydrocyclone body to control the content of fine particles in the sediment. There is no need to worry about the sediment concentration, saving time and effort, and the manufacturing cost is low. Controlling and reducing the content of fine particles in the sediment is also low-cost. Attached Figure Description
