Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a combined steel ball screening machine for classifying and screening steel balls for mills according to their diameter, belonging to the field of material screening technology. Background Technology

[0002] Ball mills are crucial grinding equipment in industries such as mining, cement, and power. Over long-term operation, the steel balls inside the mill wear and break, resulting in inconsistent ball diameters and affecting mill efficiency. Therefore, periodic shutdowns are necessary to remove and screen the steel balls, separating qualified balls from broken and small balls, and then reloading them with new steel balls. Currently, steel ball screening often uses fixed grid screens, drum screens, or simple vibrating screens. These devices have the following disadvantages: 1. Low efficiency: The screening process is mostly intermittent, with low automation and high labor intensity; 2. Frequent replacement: Changing the screening specifications is very troublesome with traditional screens, requiring the removal of numerous bolts and sometimes even the replacement of the entire screen box, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; 3. Prone to clogging: The heavy weight and strong impact of steel balls easily cause screen deformation or clogging, affecting screening efficiency and accuracy; 4. Limited functionality: Most equipment can only perform two-stage or limited-level screening, making it difficult to meet the needs of multi-stage precision grading. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a special steel ball screening equipment that has high screening efficiency, allows for quick and easy replacement of screen specifications, has strong impact resistance, and can achieve multi-stage precision screening.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a combined steel ball screening machine, including a ball-collecting device 1, a screening device 2, a drive device 3, and a frame 4. The ball-collecting device 1 is located below the manhole door of the mill cylinder and guides the steel balls cleared from the mill cylinder to the first-stage screening unit 22. The screening device 2 includes a ball storage bin 21, a screening unit 22, a ball outlet pipe 23, and shock-absorbing springs 24. The screening unit 22 includes at least two screening unit bodies 221 with gradually decreasing gaps from top to bottom. The screening device 2 is elastically supported on the frame 4 by multiple shock-absorbing springs 24. The drive device 3 is installed at the bottom of the ball storage bin 21 and is bolted together to drive the entire screening device 2 to move up and down.

[0019] The ball-collecting device 1 includes a ball-receiving hopper 11 and a ball-receiving pipe 12. The ball-receiving hopper 11 is a funnel-shaped feed hopper installed below the manhole door of the mill cylinder, which guides the steel balls to the screening unit 22.

[0020] The screening device 2 is connected inside the ball storage bin 21 via a quick-connect fitting.

[0021] The screening unit 221 includes a screen 2211 and a screen frame 2212 for fixing the screen. The screen frame 2212 is welded from angle steel, and the screen 2211 is welded from round steel onto the screen frame 2212. Five round holes are drilled on both sides of the screen frame 2212, and it is connected to the internal support of the ball storage bin 21 by wing bolts, which can realize the quick connection and release between the screening unit and the ball storage bin 21. The screening unit 221 is detachable and is installed sequentially from top to bottom inside the ball storage bin. The ball outlet pipe 23 is installed at the lowest inclined point of the screen 2211.

[0022] The screen 2211 has five levels, and the gap between the screen meshes of adjacent screening units gradually decreases from top to bottom. The first level is 60mm, the second level is 50mm, the third level is 40mm, the fourth level is 30mm, and the fifth level is 20mm, thus realizing multi-level screening.

[0023] The ball storage bin 21 has a waste discharge port 211 at the bottom for cleaning up garbage and smaller waste steel balls.

[0024] The five screening units 221 cut five ball outlets 212 into the lower part of the ball storage chamber 21. Ball outlet pipes 23 are welded below the ball outlets 212 to discharge steel balls for easy collection.

[0025] Multiple hoisting mechanisms 25 are welded to both sides of the ball storage bin 21 to facilitate the hoisting and transportation of the entire equipment.

[0026] The drive device 3 includes a vibration motor, which is bolted to the bottom of the ball storage bin 21 and connected to the frame via a metal helical spring to achieve elastic vibration. The vibration motor provides power to the entire device. When the vibration motor is working, it drives the entire screening device 2 to move up and down in a straight line. When screening steel balls, the vibration motor works continuously, driving the ball storage bin 21 to vibrate up and down, thereby increasing the efficiency of ball screening.

[0027] The frame 4 is welded from steel profiles and forms the main support structure of the equipment.

[0028] When this invention is in operation, the vibration motor of the drive device 3 is started, and the entire screening device 2 moves up and down under the action of excitation force. The mixed steel balls to be screened are fed in from the ball-infeeding device 1. The steel balls enter the screening device 2 below through the ball-receiving hopper and ball-receiving pipe of the ball-infeeding device. They first fall onto the first-stage screening unit 22. Steel balls smaller than the mesh gap of this layer fall quickly into the next-stage screening unit 22, while steel balls larger than the mesh gap fall from the ball-outlet of the ball storage bin 21 into the ball-outlet pipe. This cycle continues until all sizes of steel balls are screened. After 5 layers of screening, the steel balls are accurately screened into 6 sizes and discharged from the ball-outlet pipe 23, completing the entire screening process.

[0029] When it is necessary to change the screen size or perform maintenance, simply unscrew the wing bolts to remove the individual screening unit 22 for maintenance, which is convenient.

[0030] This utility model adopts a modular design: through the combination of multiple detachable screening units, users can quickly and flexibly configure the screening process according to the required number and specifications of grading. One machine can achieve multi-stage screening, making it highly versatile. Maintenance is extremely convenient: when it is necessary to replace the screen or change the screening sequence, simply loosen the quick-connect parts to remove a single screening unit, greatly reducing labor time and labor intensity. Screening efficiency and accuracy are high: the optimized vibration model effectively prevents screen clogging, ensuring the continuity and high precision of screening. The equipment has good stability: the overall structure is robust, and the design is reinforced to withstand the large impact of steel balls, resulting in a long service life.

[0031] The above-described embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative examples and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or equivalent to this utility model are encompassed by this utility model.
