Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ore screening technology, specifically relating to a dual-track four-channel high-speed ore color sorter. Background Technology
[0002] Ore refers to a mineral aggregate from which useful components can be extracted or which possesses certain usable properties. It can be divided into metallic minerals and non-metallic minerals.
[0003] Before color sorting, quartz sand needs to undergo crushing and washing processes to remove the debris and dust adhering to it during crushing. However, after washing and simple drying, some moisture remains on the quartz sand. This moisture causes the quartz sand particles to stick together. When these stuck-together quartz sand particles fail the color sorting and are removed, the qualified quartz sand adhering to them is also discarded, resulting in a waste of this qualified quartz sand raw material. Therefore, this application proposes a dual-track, four-channel high-speed ore color sorter. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-track, four-channel high-speed ore color sorter to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where, after washing and simple drying, some moisture remains on the quartz sand. This moisture causes the quartz sand particles to adhere together. When these adhered quartz sand particles fail the color screening and are removed, the qualified quartz sand adhering to them is also discarded, resulting in the waste of this portion of qualified quartz sand raw material.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a double-track four-channel high-speed ore color sorter, including a conveyor for transporting quartz sand, a power mechanism for providing thrust to the conveyor, and a color sorting device with color recognition and screening functions. One end of the conveyor is provided with a feeding box containing quartz sand, and the other end is provided with a discharge pipe for receiving quartz sand after screening by the color sorting device. The bottom of the feeding box is equipped with a filter plate, and the filter plate is provided with filter holes that allow unadhesive quartz sand particles to pass through. The feeding box is equipped with a drying mechanism, which includes a main pipe that enters the feeding box, a power pump for sending air into the main pipe, and an exhaust port that is installed on the main pipe and faces away from the conveyor.
[0006] Preferably, a support frame is provided at the power mechanism, and the color sorting device is mounted on the support frame.
[0007] Preferably, the conveyor includes at least two main rollers and a conveyor belt for connecting the two main rollers.
[0008] Preferably, the conveyor further includes a frame for supporting the main roller, with idler rollers mounted on the frame, the idler rollers resting against the conveyor belt, and pads placed between the idler rollers and the frame.
[0009] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a drive motor mounted on a support frame, a first sprocket mounted on the output end of the drive motor, a second sprocket mounted on one of the main rollers, and a chain for connecting the first sprocket and the second sprocket.
[0010] Preferably, there are two conveyors, which are arranged vertically aligned, and there are two feeding boxes and two discharging pipes.
[0011] Preferably, the conveyor is provided with a support frame, the frame of the conveyor is mounted on the frame, the frame includes four vertically distributed square tubes, and a connecting plate for support is provided between two adjacent square tubes.
[0012] Preferably, the feeding box is provided with a feeding mechanism, which includes a cylinder that fits against the inner wall of the feeding box and has a storage groove inside, an inlet and outlet channel that communicates with the storage groove, and a power motor for providing thrust for rotating the cylinder. The cylinder is provided with a number of vent holes that allow gas to pass through.
[0013] Preferably, the main pipe is provided with a connected auxiliary pipe, which is inserted into the feeding box and located below the filter plate.
[0014] Preferably, the feeding box is provided with a drying mechanism, which includes a shell spaced apart from the inner wall of the feeding box, a heat-conducting plate installed on the shell, and a heating device installed inside the shell for providing heat to the heat-conducting plate.
[0015] Beneficial effects: I. This utility model provides a dual-track, four-channel high-speed ore color sorter. Quartz sand enters the cylinder through inlet and outlet channels. A power motor drives the cylinder and the quartz sand inside to rotate. Unadhesive quartz sand falls through the filter holes in the filter plate and onto the conveyor. Adhesive quartz sand rotates inside the cylinder and grinds against other quartz sand during rotation, gradually separating and falling onto the conveyor after passing through the filter holes. This separates the quartz sand that falls onto the conveyor and undergoes subsequent screening, facilitating the screening process and preventing the waste of raw materials caused by the adhesion of quartz sand particles, which would otherwise result in the screening of intact raw materials along with discolored raw materials.
[0016] II. This utility model provides a dual-track, four-channel high-speed ore color sorter. The power pump sends air from the outside into the feeding box. The air flows to the top of the feeding box and carries away the moisture mixed in with the quartz sand during the flow, allowing the quartz sand to dry quickly. The dried quartz sand has reduced adhesion, which facilitates subsequent color sorting. The gas sent by the power pump flows through the main pipe to the auxiliary pipe and then enters the feeding box from the auxiliary pipe. The air flows from bottom to top, carrying away the moisture mixed in with the quartz sand and allowing the quartz sand to dry. Compared with natural drying, ventilation can accelerate the drying speed of quartz sand. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a dual-track, four-channel high-speed ore color sorter, including a conveyor 1 for transporting quartz sand, a power mechanism 2 for providing thrust to the conveyor 1, and a color sorting device 4 with color recognition and screening functions. A support frame 3 is provided at the power mechanism 2, and the color sorting device 4 is mounted on the support frame 3. Quartz sand is the main raw material for producing lenses. Before melting, the impurities in the quartz sand need to be screened, therefore, the color sorting device 4 is needed to separate the parts of the quartz sand that are not the correct color.
[0021] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The conveyor 1 includes at least two main rollers 101 and a conveyor belt 102 for connecting the two main rollers 101. The conveyor 1 also includes a frame for supporting the main rollers 101. Idler rollers 103 are provided on the frame. Idler rollers 103 abut against the conveyor belt 102. Pads are provided between the idler rollers 103 and the frame. By changing pads of different heights, the idler rollers 103 can abut against the conveyor belt 102, so that the conveyor belt 102 can be kept taut, and the quartz sand on the conveyor belt 102 can be transported normally and stably.
[0022] For reference Figure 3 The power mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 201 mounted on the support frame 3, a first sprocket 202 mounted on the output end of the drive motor 201, a second sprocket mounted on one of the main rollers 101, and a chain 203 for connecting the first sprocket 202 and the second sprocket.
[0023] Specifically, one end of the conveyor 1 is equipped with a feeding box 5 containing quartz sand, and the other end is equipped with a discharge pipe 6 for receiving quartz sand after it has been screened by the color sorting device 4.
[0024] It should be noted that there are two conveyors 1, and the two conveyors 1 are arranged vertically aligned. There are also two feeding boxes 5 and two discharging pipes 6. Thus, the entire color sorter, including two feeding channels and two discharging channels, together forms a color sorter with four channels. The two conveyors 1 and the two color sorting devices 4 simultaneously transport and screen the quartz sand, which is more efficient than a single conveyor 1.
[0025] For details, please refer to Figure 3 A support frame 7 is provided at the conveyor 1. The frame of the conveyor 1 is installed on the support frame 7. The support frame 7 includes four vertically distributed square tubes, and a connecting plate for support is provided between two adjacent square tubes.
[0026] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5The feeding box 5 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 8. The feeding mechanism 8 includes a cylinder 801 that fits against the inner wall of the feeding box 5 and has a storage tank inside, an inlet / outlet channel 802 that communicates with the storage tank, and a power motor 803 that provides thrust for rotating the cylinder 801. The cylinder 801 is provided with several vent holes that allow gas to pass through. A filter plate 9 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 801. The filter plate 9 is provided with filter holes that allow unadhesive quartz sand particles to pass through. There are two inlet / outlet channels 802, and the two inlet / outlet channels 802 are aligned vertically.
[0027] Quartz sand enters the cylinder 801 through the inlet / outlet channel 802. The power motor 803 drives the cylinder 801 and the quartz sand inside to rotate. Unadhesive quartz sand falls through the filter holes in the filter plate 9 and onto the conveyor 1. Adhesive quartz sand rotates inside the cylinder 801 and grinds against other quartz sand during rotation, gradually separating and falling onto the conveyor 1 after passing through the filter holes. This separates the quartz sand that falls onto the conveyor 1 for subsequent screening, facilitating the screening process and preventing the waste of raw materials caused by the adhesion of quartz sand particles, which would otherwise result in the screening of intact raw materials along with discolored raw materials.
[0028] To reduce the moisture content of the quartz sand in feed hopper 5, please refer to... Figure 5 The feeding box 5 is equipped with a drying mechanism 10, which includes a main pipe 1002 that enters the feeding box 5, a power pump 1001 for supplying air into the main pipe 1002, and an exhaust port 1003 located on the main pipe 1002 and facing away from the conveyor 1. A heating mechanism may be installed in the main pipe 1002 to heat the gas entering the main pipe 1002.
[0029] The power pump 1001 sends air from the outside into the feeding box 5. The air flows to the top of the feeding box 5 and carries away the moisture mixed in with the quartz sand during the flow, allowing the quartz sand to dry quickly. The dried quartz sand has reduced adhesion, which facilitates the subsequent color sorting work.
[0030] Specifically, an auxiliary pipe is connected to the main pipe 1002. The auxiliary pipe is inserted into the feeding box 5 and located below the filter plate 9.
[0031] The gas supplied by the power pump 1001 flows through the main pipe 1002 into the auxiliary pipe, and then enters the feeding box 5 from the auxiliary pipe. The air flows from bottom to top, carrying away the moisture mixed in the quartz sand and drying the quartz sand. Compared with natural drying, ventilation can speed up the drying speed of quartz sand.
[0032] To dry the quartz sand, a drying mechanism 11 is provided in the feeding box 5. The drying mechanism 11 includes a shell 1101 spaced apart from the inner wall of the feeding box 5, a heat-conducting plate 1102 installed on the shell 1101, and a heating device 1103 installed inside the shell 1101 to provide heat to the heat-conducting plate 1102. By providing the drying mechanism 11 at the top of the feeding box 5, i.e. above the drying mechanism 10, the various components inside the drying mechanism 11 can heat the quartz sand, accelerate the evaporation rate of moisture in the quartz sand, and keep the quartz sand dry.
[0033] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a dual-track, four-channel high-speed ore color sorter. Quartz sand enters the cylinder 801 through the inlet / outlet channel 802. The power motor 803 drives the cylinder 801 and the quartz sand inside to rotate. Unadhesive quartz sand falls through the filter holes in the filter plate 9 and onto the conveyor 1. Adhesive quartz sand rotates inside the cylinder 801 and grinds against other quartz sand during rotation, gradually separating and falling onto the conveyor 1 after passing through the filter holes. This separates the quartz sand that falls onto the conveyor 1 for subsequent screening, facilitating the screening process and preventing the waste of raw materials caused by the adhesion of quartz sand particles, which would otherwise result in the screening of intact raw materials along with discolored raw materials.
[0034] The power pump 1001 sends air from the outside into the feeding box 5. The air flows to the top of the feeding box 5 and carries away the moisture mixed in with the quartz sand during the flow, allowing the quartz sand to dry quickly. The dried quartz sand has reduced stickiness, which facilitates the subsequent color sorting work. The gas sent by the power pump 1001 flows through the main pipe 1002 into the auxiliary pipe and enters the feeding box 5 from the auxiliary pipe. The air flows from bottom to top, carrying away the moisture mixed in with the quartz sand and allowing the quartz sand to dry. Compared with natural drying, ventilation can accelerate the drying speed of quartz sand.
[0035] By setting a drying mechanism 11 at the top of the feeding box 5, that is, above the drying mechanism 10, the various components inside the drying mechanism 11 can heat the quartz sand, accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the quartz sand, and keep the quartz sand dry.
[0036] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
