Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ball mill technology, specifically a ball mill for glass powder production. Background Technology
[0002] A ball mill consists of a horizontal cylindrical body containing grinding media. The cylinder is made of steel plate and is fixed to the body with steel liners. The grinding media are generally steel spheres, which are loaded into the cylinder in different diameters and proportions. The material is fed into the cylinder through the hollow shaft at the feed end of the ball mill. When the ball mill cylinder rotates, the grinding media, due to inertia and centrifugal force, adhere to the cylinder liner and are carried away by the cylinder. When they are carried to a certain height, they are thrown down due to their own gravity. The falling grinding media, like projectiles, crush the material inside the cylinder.
[0003] Existing ball mills first add material into the cylinder, and only after all the material has been ground are the mills stopped and the ground material discharged before new material can be added for the next batch of grinding. During the grinding process of a batch of material, qualified material will be formed one after another, but this qualified material can only be discharged after all the material has been ground, which results in the qualified material not being discharged in a timely manner. At the same time, the fine glass powder that has been ground can interfere with the grinding steel balls to grind the remaining large glass particles, which greatly reduces the grinding effect of the ball mill.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a ball mill for glass powder production to solve the technical problem that the ball mill cannot discharge the ground material in a timely manner.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0048] Research has revealed that existing ball mills first add material into the cylinder, and only after all the material has been ground are the mills stopped and the ground material discharged before new material can be added for the next batch of grinding. During the grinding process of a batch of material, qualified material will gradually form, but this qualified material can only be discharged after all the material has been ground, resulting in the qualified material not being discharged in a timely manner. At the same time, the fine glass powder that has been ground can interfere with the grinding steel balls' ability to grind the remaining large glass particles, greatly reducing the grinding effect of the ball mill.
[0049] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure below should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.
[0050] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described below can be combined with each other. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the thickness of components may be exaggerated or reduced for the purpose of effectively describing the technical content.
[0051] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0052] Based on the above research, and referring to Figure 1 This disclosure provides a ball mill for glass powder production, including an outer sleeve 1, a grinding cylinder 2, and several sieve plates 3. The outer sleeve 1 is hollow and suitable for feeding materials. The grinding cylinder 2 is fitted inside the outer sleeve 1 and is rotatably connected to the outer sleeve 1. The rotation of the grinding cylinder 2 causes the materials and grinding media to tumble inside, achieving the effect of grinding the materials. (Refer to...) Figure 3 Several sieve plates 3 are arranged circumferentially on the inner side of the grinding cylinder 2.
[0053] At the same time, refer to Figure 4 The grinding cylinder 2 is hollow inside, and the sieve plate 3 has several return channels 31 opened in the axial direction. Several sieve holes 4 are located between adjacent sieve plates 3, and the sieve holes 4 communicate with the inside of the grinding cylinder 2. The grinding cylinder 2 is also connected to the sieve plate 3. Material that has been thoroughly ground in the grinding cylinder 2 can enter the grinding cylinder 2 through the sieve plate 3. Then, qualified material can be discharged out of the grinding cylinder 2, while unqualified material can enter the sieve plate 3 and return to the grinding cylinder 2 through the return channels 31 for further grinding. In this way, qualified material can be screened out and discharged in a timely manner during the grinding process.
[0054] Reference Figure 4 In at least one embodiment, the screen plate 3 has a reflux chamber 32 inside, and the grinding cylinder 2 has a discharge chamber 21 inside. The discharge chamber 21 is connected to the screen hole 4, and the reflux channel 31 is connected to the reflux chamber 32. At the same time, the reflux chamber 32 has a plurality of reflux screen holes 33 on the side facing the discharge chamber 21.
[0055] Reference Figure 2 The bottom of the outer sleeve 1 is provided with a discharge port 12, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The discharge chamber 21 has several discharge holes 13 on its outer side. That is, the material can enter the discharge chamber 21 through the screening holes 4 and then be screened. As the material enters the discharge port 12 under the action of gravity, if the material is qualified, it can be discharged from the discharge chamber 21 through the discharge holes 13. The material that cannot pass through will be transported to the top of the outer sleeve 1 under the action of the rotation of the grinding cylinder 2. Then, the material falls again under the action of gravity and enters the return chamber 32 through the return screen holes 33. Then, it enters the return channel 31 through the return chamber 32 and returns to the grinding cylinder 2 to continue grinding.
[0056] Reference Figure 4To guide the material as it rotates with the grinding cylinder 2 to the top of the outer sleeve 1, several guide scrapers 22 are provided on the side of the discharge chamber 21 near the return screen hole 33. The guide scrapers 22 are inclined on the side away from the return screen hole 33. With the above arrangement, when the grinding cylinder 2 rotates, the material that cannot pass through the discharge hole 13 can follow the rotation of the grinding cylinder 2 under the push of the guide scrapers 22 until it reaches the top of the outer sleeve 1. Then, the guide scrapers 22 guide the material to slide towards the return screen hole 33.
[0057] Reference Figure 4 The guide scraper 22 and the return screen hole 33 are staggered so that one guide scraper 22 corresponds to one return screen hole 33.
[0058] Reference Figure 4 To further guide the material towards the return channel 31, a feeding ramp 35 is provided between the return channel 31 and the return screen 33. The narrow opening of the feeding ramp 35 faces the return channel 31.
[0059] Reference Figure 5 To prevent material inside the grinding cylinder 2 from blocking the outlet of the return channel 31, several elastic elements 36 are provided at the outer end of the return channel 31. When material inside the grinding cylinder 2 impacts the return channel 31 from the outside, the elastic elements 36 eject the material outward, thereby preventing the material from blocking the return channel.

The apparatus embodiments described above are merely illustrative. For example, the division of units is only a logical functional division, and in actual implementation, there may be other division methods. Furthermore, multiple units or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or some features may be ignored or not executed. Based on the above-described ideal embodiments of this utility model, and through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification; its technical scope must be determined by the scope of the claims.
