Detailed Implementation
[0027] The overall concept of this utility model is to change the traditional method by using gravity and centrifugal force to remove small particles from the granular silicon during sieving. Simultaneously, nitrogen gas and negative pressure vacuum are introduced to accelerate the product and remove silicon powder from the granular silicon. This achieves the goals of reducing maintenance and operating costs, more efficiently removing small particles and dust, and improving the product's market competitiveness. Specifically, this utility model adopts the following approach:
[0028] 1. Use gravity and centrifugal force to remove small particles.
[0029] 2. A nitrogen inlet and a vacuum outlet are provided to achieve the purpose of dust removal.
[0030] 3. Cutting is performed using only gravity and centrifugal force, without the use of electricity.
[0031] 4. Use polyurethane casting to reduce the disassembly and inspection cycle.
[0032] 5. Use nitrogen to assist blowing, giving the product acceleration.
[0033] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a screening and dust removal machine for granular silicon production includes:
[0034] The hollow cylindrical shell 14 is closed at the top and has a product inlet 1 at the top edge for the material to be screened and dusted to enter. A bottom discharge plate 10 is fixed at the bottom of the shell 14. The bottom discharge plate 10 is a downwardly protruding conical surface and has a discharge port 11 at the center for discharging the material on the bottom discharge plate 10.
[0035] Several legs 9 for supporting the housing 14 are also fixed to the lower part of the outer side wall.
[0036] An accelerated dust removal device is provided below the product inlet 1 inside the housing 14 to remove dust from the material entering the product inlet 1.
[0037] The dust removal acceleration device includes:
[0038] A spiral coil 3, spiraling downwards, has its inlet end positioned below the product feed inlet 1. A nitrogen-assisted blowing port 12 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the housing 14 at the corresponding position. This port injects nitrogen into the coil 3, accelerating the material's movement and achieving dust removal. A baffle plate 13 is fixedly installed below the coil 3. The baffle plate 13 is a downwardly protruding conical surface with an opening in the middle. Material falling from the coil 3 enters this opening.
[0039] The side wall of the housing 14 is located opposite the nitrogen blowing port 12 and has a negative pressure port 4 for drawing negative pressure to extract dust.
[0040] Below the dust removal device, there is a centrifugal screening device that uses centrifugal force to screen the material by size.
[0041] Centrifugal sieving device, including:
[0042] The spiral blade support frame 2, fixed on the bottom discharge tray 10, is used to install the spiral blades 6. The spiral blades 6 are downward spiral blades. When the material spirals down along the blades, the centrifugal force is different due to the different masses. The material with the larger mass slides out of the spiral blades and falls onto the bottom discharge tray 10.
[0043] The bottom end of the spiral blade 6 is fixed with a blade extension 61, which extends to the outside of the shell 14. A small particle discharge port 8 is fixed below the outer end of the blade extension 61 for outputting the screened small particle material.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the spiral blade support frame 2 includes: a bottom support bracket 202 fixed on the bottom discharge plate 10, a support column 201 fixed on the top of the bottom support bracket 202, and the support column 201 passing through the central axis of the spiral blade 6; there can be multiple bottom support brackets 202, which play a stabilizing role.
[0045] A flange face 5 is also fixed on the outside of the housing 14 for installing this screening and dust removal machine on other devices.
[0046] The inner wall of the housing 14 is also fixed with a clean casting layer or inner lining layer 7 to reduce dust adhesion.
[0047] During operation, granular silicon enters the feed inlet 1 and is accelerated by nitrogen injected through the nitrogen-assisted blowing port 12. It then accelerates within the coil 3 and falls onto the baffle plate 13. During rotation, some silicon powder detaches. Under the influence of gravity and centrifugal force, the granular silicon rotates and falls onto the spiral blades 6. Under centrifugal force, larger particles rotate out of the spiral blades 6 and fall onto the bottom discharge plate 10 of the screening and dust removal machine. Upon falling onto the discharge plate 10, silicon powder on the surface of the granular silicon detaches due to impact. Accompanied by nitrogen, under the negative pressure created by the negative pressure port 4, it enters the negative pressure pipe, thus achieving dust removal. The granular silicon enters the discharge port 11 and then the downstream product tank. Smaller particles remain on the spiral blades 6 until they rotate out of the dust removal screening machine and enter the small particle discharge port 8, achieving the separation of large and small particles.
[0048] This utility model provides a concept and method for a screening and dust removal machine used in the production of granular silicon. There are many methods and approaches to implement this technical solution; the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technology.
