Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mill technology, specifically to a mill cylinder with an externally opening door. Background Technology

[0002] Mills (such as ball mills and rod mills) are key equipment in industries such as mining, building materials, and chemicals, used for crushing and grinding materials. To facilitate equipment maintenance, repair, and cleaning, manholes are usually provided on the mill cylinder for personnel to enter and exit the mill cylinder or perform related operations.

[0003] Traditional manhole doors mostly adopt an inward-opening structure, meaning the door panel opens into the mill. This design requires personnel to enter the mill shell for operation, which is space-constrained, especially when there is a lot of residue inside the equipment or the internal environment is poor. Opening or closing the manhole door is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Secondly, if the inward-opening manhole door does not seal well during mill operation, it may lead to material leakage, dust spillage, and even safety accidents. At the same time, due to structural limitations, traditional inward-opening manhole doors have weak sealing performance, especially in high-pressure or strong vibration environments, where leakage is more likely to occur. Moreover, disassembly and assembly are complex, hindering quick inspection and routine maintenance, reducing equipment operating efficiency and causing inconvenience to users. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an outward-opening manhole door for the mill shell to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
