[0002] Vertical grinding mill (abbreviated as verter mill) is a high-efficiency and energy-saving large-scale grinding equipment, widely used in industries such as cement, power, metallurgy, chemical, and non-metallic minerals. It is mainly used for grinding materials with medium or lower hardness, such as cement raw materials, clinker (slag), coal, phosphate rock, and quartz sand.

[0003] Traditional steel ball mills typically use a rotating cylinder to drive steel balls for impact grinding, which suffers from high energy consumption and inconvenient particle size adjustment. Some vertical mills use grinding rollers to crush materials, but these rollers are prone to wear and have uneven pressure distribution. For example, utility model patent CN2309892Y discloses a vertical centrifugal grinding device with spherical grinding media and fixed-gap annular grinding discs that work with steel balls, but it cannot dynamically adjust the grinding pressure, resulting in inflexible fineness control and difficulty in adapting to diverse material requirements.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a steel ball grinding mill, comprising:

[0036] The frame 1 has a housing 11 on the outside, and a processing cavity is formed inside;

[0037] The grinding assembly is installed inside the frame 1 and includes a grinding ring and grinding balls 2, wherein the grinding ring drives the grinding balls 2 to rotate;

[0038] A pressure device includes a pressure application component 3, which provides pressure to the tumbling assembly;

[0039] Power unit 4 is used to drive the grinding assembly to rotate.

[0040] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are that the material is crushed under the extrusion and grinding of the grinding balls 2 and the lower grinding ring 32, the contact area between the material and the grinding balls 2 is large, and the grinding efficiency is high. The upper grinding ring 31 is fixed to the pressure device, the grinding pressure is controlled by the pressure device, and the particle size of the material exiting the mill is controllable.

[0041] The grinding ring includes an upper grinding ring 31 and a lower grinding ring 32. Both the upper and lower grinding rings 31 have arc-shaped roller tracks in their middle sections for the movement of grinding balls 2. Multiple grinding balls 2 are arranged within these roller tracks. The arc-shaped roller tracks of both the upper and lower grinding rings 31 and 32 have textured surfaces to increase friction, causing the grinding balls 2 to roll within the roller tracks and continuously change their axis of rotation, maintaining a spherical shape. The grinding balls 2 roll between the upper and lower grinding rings 31 and 32, achieving the crushing and grinding of materials. Due to the arc-shaped roller tracks, the grinding balls 2 remain between the upper and lower grinding rings 32 throughout the grinding process, ensuring a long grinding life.

[0042] Furthermore, the grinding assembly also includes a transmission seat 33, which is a plate-shaped part with a step on its upper surface for positioning the lower grinding ring 32. The transmission seat 33 of the lower grinding ring 32 is fixed by screws. The power unit 4 drives the transmission seat 33 to rotate, and the transmission seat 33 drives the lower grinding ring 32 to rotate.

[0043] The power unit 4 includes a transmission shaft 42, a reducer 43, and a motor 41. The motor 41 is connected to the reducer 43, and the reducer 43 is connected to the transmission shaft 42. The top of the transmission shaft 42 is fixedly connected to the transmission seat 33, and the lower side is connected to the reducer 43 via a coupling. The reducer 43 converts the high-speed, low-torque motor 41 into a low-speed, high-torque motor, meeting the high torque required for the lower grinding ring 32 to drive the grinding balls 2 to crush materials, especially for high-hardness materials. At the same time, the reducer 43 shares the load on the bearings of the motor 41, preventing the mill load from directly acting on the motor 41 and extending the life of the motor 41.

[0044] In some embodiments, the pressure device further includes a pressure seat 34, which is fixedly connected to the upper grinding ring 31 by bolts, and the pressure assembly 3 is connected to the pressure seat 34 to control the height of the upper grinding ring 31;

[0045] Among them, the pressurizing component 3 is a hydraulic cylinder, which is symmetrically installed. The frame 1 is equipped with a base plate 6, which can be fixed by welding or other means. The main body of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the base plate 6, and the output end is connected to the pressure seat 34. An installation block is fixed on the upper side of the pressure seat 34. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the pressure seat 34. The pressure cylinders on both sides extend or descend at the same time to change the position of the upper grinding ring 31 and adjust the grinding pressure of the grinding ball 2 so that the particle size of the ground material can be controlled.

[0046] In some implementations, a separator 5 is installed on the frame 1. The separator 5 has a material outlet on its upper side for discharging qualified materials. The separator 5 also has a rotor and a drive assembly. The rotor rotates under the drive assembly to achieve grading. The structure and working principle of the separator 5 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. A material plate 51 is provided on the lower side of the separator 5. The material plate 51 has a channel in the middle for the product to pass through. The material plate 51 is fixedly installed in the frame 1 and has an outwardly expanding opening on its upper side. It is located on the lower side of the separator 5, and its channel faces the middle position of the upper grinding ring 31 installed below, so that the material that does not meet the fineness requirements falls from the material plate 51 back to the middle of the grinding ring for re-grinding.

[0047] Furthermore, the housing 11 is provided with a feed inlet 16. The housing 11 is divided into an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing and the lower housing are detachably fixed. The housing 11 is provided with multiple seals. The feed inlet 16 is provided with a downwardly inclined flow channel inside the housing 11. The flow channel guides the material to fall to the center of the grinding ring and is ground by the grinding balls 2.

[0048] Furthermore, the frame 1 is equipped with an air duct 12, which is located below the tumbling mill device. The air duct 12 is equipped with an air inlet 13, which is connected to a blower. The interior of the air duct 12 is connected to the processing chamber. Air is introduced through the air inlet 13 to classify the ground product, and the ground material is blown upward to the separator 5 for further classification.

[0049] In operation, the material first enters the grinding mill through the feed inlet 16. Under centrifugal force, the material is thrown into the roller conveyor of the lower grinding ring 32. The grinding balls 2 grind the material in the roller conveyor. The ground material is carried by the rising airflow to the upper separator 5. Qualified powder passes through the separator 5, while excessively coarse material enters the collection hopper and falls back to the lower grinding ring 32 for further grinding. During the grinding process, the relative height of the upper grinding ring 31 and the lower grinding ring 32 is controlled by a pressurizing device. The pressure of the grinding balls 2 crushing the material is provided by the upper grinding ring 31. Adjusting the height of the upper grinding ring 31 allows for the production of materials of different particle sizes.

[0050] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
