Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a wet grinding and mixing device for medium mineral powder, belonging to the field of mineral powder grinding technology. Background Technology
[0002] In many industrial sectors such as metallurgy, chemical industry, and building materials, middlings minerals are an important intermediate raw material, and their processing quality directly affects the performance and quality of subsequent products. To meet the requirements of industrial production regarding the fineness, uniformity, and activity of middlings minerals, wet grinding technology is widely used in the deep processing of middlings minerals due to its advantages such as effectively reducing dust pollution, improving grinding efficiency, and enhancing product performance.
[0003] Currently, ball mills are one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment in wet grinding of medium-sized minerals. They primarily utilize the rotation, collision, and grinding action of grinding media (such as steel balls or steel segments) within the mill cylinder to crush and grind the medium-sized minerals, while simultaneously adding water to form a slurry, achieving the wet grinding effect. However, existing ball mills have significant technical shortcomings in actual operation: the intense collisions and friction between the grinding media and the medium-sized minerals, and between the grinding media and the mill cylinder, generate substantial amounts of frictional and impact heat. The existing ball mill design lacks an effective cooling mechanism, failing to promptly dissipate or remove this heat.
[0004] As the grinding process continues, the temperature inside the ball mill cylinder rises steadily. In wet grinding scenarios, the higher temperature causes the water in the slurry to evaporate and dry rapidly, making it difficult to maintain the slurry's humidity within a suitable range. This phenomenon leads to a series of adverse consequences: on the one hand, rapid water loss increases the adhesion between medium mineral particles, making them prone to agglomeration, hindering further crushing and grinding of the medium mineral particles by the grinding media, and reducing grinding efficiency; on the other hand, unstable humidity reduces the grinding uniformity of the medium mineral particles, resulting in uneven particle size distribution, which seriously affects subsequent processing of the medium mineral particles (such as mixing, molding, etc.) and the quality of the final product. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a wet grinding and mixing device for medium mineral powder.
[0006] A wet grinding and mixing device for medium mineral powder includes a base plate, on which a grinding cylinder for grinding is rotatably mounted. The grinding cylinder has a cooling chamber inside. Both ends of the grinding cylinder are rotatably mounted with collars, which are fixed to the base plate. The collars have water grooves distributed circumferentially inside them. The collars also have through holes and inlet / outlet water holes communicating with the water grooves. Both ends of the grinding cylinder have inlet / outlet water holes, with the through holes facing the inlet / outlet water holes. When the grinding cylinder rotates, the through holes can communicate with the inlet / outlet water holes.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a drive assembly disposed on the substrate for driving the grinding cylinder to rotate. The drive assembly includes a transmission gear mounted on the outer wall of the grinding cylinder. A mounting base is mounted on the top surface of the substrate. A drive motor and a gearbox are mounted on the mounting base. The drive end of the drive motor is connected to the main shaft of the gearbox. The countershaft of the gearbox is connected to a drive gear that meshes with the transmission gear.
[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the substrate is symmetrically equipped with supports, and a shaft cylinder is rotatably mounted on the supports, with the grinding cylinder connected between the two shaft cylinders.

A connecting sleeve is provided inside the annular groove. One end of the connecting sleeve is connected to a collar, and the other end of the connecting sleeve extends into the interior of the cooling cavity and is connected to a first connecting rod. The end of the first connecting rod away from the connecting sleeve is connected to a second connecting rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the first connecting rod extends radially along the inlet and outlet water holes, and the second connecting rod extends axially along the grinding cylinder. Both the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are disposed inside the cooling chamber.

[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, the cooling chamber inside the grinding cylinder and the collar form a closed-loop water circulation through the through hole and the water inlet and outlet holes. The cooling medium can continuously enter and exit the cooling chamber as the grinding cylinder rotates, quickly dissipating the heat generated by grinding, suppressing the temperature rise inside the cylinder from the source, and solving the problem of rapid drying of slurry moisture caused by high temperature in traditional ball mills.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod rotate synchronously with the grinding cylinder, which stirs the cooling medium in the cooling chamber in multiple directions, breaks the static state of the medium, makes the heat distribution more uniform, avoids the difference in water evaporation caused by local high temperature, and further improves the temperature control accuracy.
[0017] 3. In this invention, the sealing membrane of the connecting sleeve and the sealing lip of the collar form a double seal, effectively preventing leakage of the cooling medium and ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the water circulation system. The stable cooling effect maintains constant moisture content in the medium-mineral powder slurry, reduces particle agglomeration, and significantly improves grinding uniformity and final product quality.

[0040] The overall working principle of this wet grinding and mixing device for medium mineral powder is as follows:
[0041] The device uses a base plate 1 as its supporting foundation.

The grinding cylinder 4, connected between the two shaft cylinders 3, serves as the grinding core, achieving overall rotation through the support of the shaft cylinder 3. When the device is started, the drive assembly begins operation: a transmission gear 5 mounted on the outer wall of the grinding cylinder 4 meshes with a drive gear 9, which is driven by a gearbox 8. The gearbox 8 receives power from a drive motor 7. The drive motor 7 and gearbox 8 are fixed to the mounting base 6 on the base plate 1.

[0043] Cooling medium circulation path: The collar 10 is fixed on the base plate 1 and rotates to fit against both ends of the grinding cylinder 4. The water tank 15 inside is connected to the external cooling water source through the inlet and outlet water holes 17. When the grinding cylinder 4 rotates, the through hole 16 on the collar 10 will periodically connect with the inlet and outlet water holes 14 on the end face of the grinding cylinder 4, allowing the cooling medium to enter the cooling chamber 11 inside the grinding cylinder 4 through the through hole 16 and the inlet and outlet water holes 14.
[0044] Enhanced cooling effect: A connecting sleeve 18 is provided in the annular groove on the right end face of the grinding cylinder 4. One end of the sleeve is connected to the collar 10, and the other end extends to the cooling chamber 11 and connects to the first connecting rod 12 and the second connecting rod 13.
