[0002] Ore washing tanks are one of the main pieces of equipment in ore washing plants. The flushing water in these tanks plays a crucial role in impacting and cleaning ore and sludge. Currently, most ore washing tanks use drilled holes as simple outlets for the flushing water. During operation, the flushing water flow is scattered and its direction is uncontrollable, affecting the ore cleaning effect. Furthermore, these simple outlets are prone to blockage, making unblocking them inconvenient and unsafe. Utility Model Content

[0022] The cleaning rod is a hollow round tube with openings at both the top and bottom.
[0023] The assembly process of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] The water outlet nozzle is installed on the corresponding threaded groove of the water outlet pipe via the external thread I on the connector head. The upper and lower hemispheres are connected by the threaded sleeve I and the screw sleeve I. After adjusting the desired water outlet direction based on the sliding fit between the hemispheres, the threaded sleeve I and the screw sleeve I are tightened to press and fix the upper and lower hemispheres, while simultaneously tightening the sealing ring I. The intermediate pipe and the water outlet nozzle assembly are connected via the external thread II and the internal thread II. By axially rotating the water outlet nozzle assembly, the water outlet is positioned in the desired direction. The threaded sleeve II and the screw sleeve II are tightened to press and fix the intermediate pipe and the water outlet nozzle assembly. Then, the water outlet pipe is opened, and water is supplied from the water outlet in the adjusted direction. When the water outlet is blocked, the blockage can be cleared by pulling the cleaning rod below the water outlet nozzle.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0026] The water outlet of this utility model for controlling water flow in ore washing tanks can adjust the angle and direction of the water outlet by matching a spherical connector with a circular connector, thereby controlling the direction of the flushing water. The trapezoidal outlet at the end of the water outlet assembly controls the shape of the flushing water flow to be a straight fan shape, improving the cleaning effect of ore washing tanks.
[0027] This invention increases the water flow collection speed and pressure through the sand collection port, which can better prevent the outlet from becoming blocked.
[0028] This invention utilizes a cleaning component to achieve convenient and safe unblocking of water outlets when they are clogged, achieved by using a cleaning rod in conjunction with a small-angle sweeping motion. It has promising application prospects. Attached Figure Description
