Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is specifically a handheld ore analyzer for detecting altered rock zones in mining areas, and relates to the field of ore detection technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of mineral exploration, analyzing altered rock zones and constructing alteration maps are important methods for mineral exploration. This requires the use of handheld ore analyzers to conduct extensive on-site orebody testing within the mining area to identify altered rock zones.
[0003] See attached document Figure 1 A handheld ore analyzer is a portable testing instrument that uses X-rays to analyze the composition of ores. By pointing the detection head 11 at the ore and pressing the detection button 13, the test results are displayed on the screen 12. For large pieces of ore, the ore composition can be detected simply by pointing the handheld ore analyzer at the ore. However, for fine fragments of ore extracted from the tunnel, if the fine fragments are placed on the ground for testing, the test results will be affected by the background mineral composition of the ground.
[0004] Patent application CN120064350A discloses a device and method for analyzing ore body alteration. This device has an adjustable clamping mechanism connected to the lower part of a handheld ore analyzer to fix the ore body for alteration detection. While this patent can eliminate interference from background mineral composition, its complex structure and inconvenient operation make it unsuitable for large-scale testing.
[0005] In addition, in open-air working environments, the display screen of a handheld ore analyzer can become difficult to see due to sunlight exposure. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a handheld ore analyzer for detecting altered rock zones in mining areas, adopting the following technical solution:
[0007] A handheld ore analyzer for detecting altered rock zones in mining areas includes an ore analyzer body, a plastic disc, and two U-shaped steel wire hinges. The ore analyzer body has a detection head at the front and a display screen at the rear, with three pairs of triangularly distributed hinge holes A symmetrically arranged on both sides. The plastic disc is used for placing objects or blocking light, and a pair of hinge holes B are coaxially arranged at both ends of the plastic disc. The two ends of the two U-shaped steel wire hinges are respectively hinged to the pair of hinge holes B and two of the pairs of hinge holes A.
[0008] Further improvement of the technical solution: The plastic tray is a rectangular tray with a storage cavity, and an arc-shaped surface is provided at the bottom of the storage cavity.
[0009] Further improved technical solution: The main body of the ore analyzer has a plastic shell, and three pairs of hinge holes A are set on the plastic shell.
[0010] Further improvement of the technical solution: The U-shaped steel wire hinge is made of elastic steel wire, with the open end inserted into a pair of hinge holes A and the closed end inserted into a pair of hinge holes B.
[0011] Further improve the technical solution: the two pairs of hinge holes A near the detection head are equidistant from the detection head.
[0012] Further improve the technical solution: The remaining pair of hinge holes A are located near the display screen.
[0013] After implementing the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:
[0014] 1. In one of the installation states of this handheld ore analyzer, the plastic disc can be positioned directly below the detection head as a carrier for finely crushed ore, so that the detection results are not affected by the background mineral composition.
[0015] 2. In one of the installation states of this handheld ore analyzer, the plastic disc can be used as a light shield above the display screen to prevent the screen from being difficult to see under sunlight.

[0027] A handheld ore analyzer for detecting altered rock zones in mining areas is disclosed, belonging to the field of ore testing technology. It primarily addresses the problem that ore testing results in existing technologies are affected by the background mineral composition on the ground. The composition, structure, and working principle of this handheld ore analyzer are described in detail below.
[0028] See attached document Figure 2 This handheld ore analyzer mainly consists of the ore analyzer body 1, a plastic disc 2, and two U-shaped steel wire hinges 3.
[0029] See attached document Figure 3 , attached Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the ore analyzer body 1. (See attached diagram.) Figure 3As can be seen, the ore analyzer body 1 has a pistol-shaped plastic housing. A detection head 11 is provided at the front of the plastic housing, and a display screen 12 is provided at the rear of the plastic housing. Three pairs of hinge holes A14 arranged in a triangular pattern are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plastic housing. In this embodiment, the two pairs of hinge holes A14 closest to the detection head 11 are equidistant from the detection head 11, and the remaining pair of hinge holes A14 are close to the display screen 12.
[0030] For ease of operation, a detection button 13 is provided on the handle of the plastic housing.
[0031] See attached document Figure 4 , attached Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of plastic disc 2. (See attached diagram.) Figure 4 As can be seen, the plastic disc 2 is a rectangular disc with a storage cavity 22. The bottom of the storage cavity 22 has an arc-shaped surface, and a pair of hinge holes B21 are coaxially arranged at both ends of the plastic disc 2. The plastic disc 2 does not contain any metallic mineral components and will not affect the test results. The plastic disc 2 has two functions: first, to hold objects; and second, to block light.
[0032] See attached document Figure 5 , attached Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the U-shaped steel wire hinge 3. (See attached diagram.) Figure 5 It can be seen that the U-shaped steel wire hinge 3 is made of elastic steel wire, with the open end inserted into a pair of hinge holes A14 and the closed end inserted into a pair of hinge holes B21.
[0033] Please refer to the appendix again. Figure 2 The two ends of the two U-shaped steel wire hinges 3 are respectively hinged in a pair of hinge holes B21 and two pairs of hinge holes A14 near the detection head 11. At this time, due to the obstruction of the U-shaped steel wire hinges 3 and the plastic disc 2, the detection button 13 cannot be pressed, thus avoiding the accidental generation of X-rays by the ore analyzer.
[0034] See attached document Figure 6 When testing fine mineral fragments, place the detection head 11 downwards, with the plastic disc 2 directly below it. After placing the fine mineral fragments into the plastic disc 2, they will automatically roll to the bottom of the storage cavity 22, allowing for the analysis of their composition. Since the plastic disc 2 contains no metallic minerals and the minerals are suspended, the test results are accurate and unaffected by background mineral composition.
[0035] See attached document Figure 7 When it is not necessary to detect fine ore, pull out the uppermost U-shaped steel wire hinge 3 from the hinge hole A14 near the detection head 11, and then insert it into the hinge hole A14 near the display screen 12. At this time, the plastic disc 2 acts as a light shield above the display screen 12 to prevent the display screen 12 from being difficult to see under sunlight.
[0036] See attached document Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 In the other two connection methods between the U-shaped steel wire hinge 3 and the hinge hole A14, the plastic tray 2 can be used as a storage box to hold items such as markers.
[0037] It is worth noting that the content not described in detail in the above embodiments is prior art. It is also worth noting that any additions, subtractions, substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the structure and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
