Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of geological and mineral technology, and specifically relates to a rock sample processing device for mineral exploration. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of geological and mineral exploration, rock sample processing is a key step in obtaining mineral sample information. Among them, rock sample surface cleaning and pretreatment are important steps that directly affect the accuracy of subsequent operations such as component analysis and preservation.

[0003] While the existing technology CN222153131U discloses a rock sample processing device for geological and mineral exploration, which achieves automatic flipping of rock samples through a clamping and flipping mechanism and solves some manual operation problems, it only addresses the flipping requirements of the cleaning stage and does not fully cover the automation requirements of the entire rock sample pretreatment process. It also has the following shortcomings: Existing devices typically only have a single cleaning function, and water stains are easily left on the surface of the rock sample after cleaning. If not dried in time, the residual moisture may dissolve soluble components on the rock sample surface, affecting the accuracy of subsequent component detection; at the same time, a humid environment may also cause mold or oxidation of the rock sample, reducing its preservation quality.

[0004] In summary, existing rock sample processing devices still have room for improvement in the treatment of residual moisture, and there is an urgent need for a more rationally structured and more conveniently operated rock sample processing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a rock sample processing device for mineral exploration. In order to address the problem of improper handling of residual water after cleaning, an integrated cleaning and drying mechanism is added to solve the problems of residual water and impurities on the surface of the rock sample after cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a rock sample processing device for mineral exploration, including a first base, a housing is provided on the top of the first base via a fixed seat, a drive mechanism is installed inside the housing, a connecting groove is opened through the shell wall of the housing, a cleaning component is slidably arranged in the connecting groove, the cleaning component is also connected to the drive mechanism, and clamping components are provided on both sides of the housing. The cleaning assembly includes a second base connected to a drive mechanism. A first shaft seat and a second shaft seat are mounted on the second base. A first support rod is rotatably mounted inside the first shaft seat, and a cleaning brush is fixedly mounted on the end of the first support rod away from the housing. A second support rod is rotatably mounted inside the second shaft seat, and a drying brush is fixedly mounted on the end of the second support rod away from the housing. A first gear is mounted on the connecting shaft between the first shaft seat and the first support rod, and a second gear is mounted on the connecting shaft between the second shaft seat and the second support rod. The first gear and the second gear mesh.

[0007] In one embodiment, the system further includes an adjustment assembly, which includes a grooved ring. The grooved ring is located on the side of the first shaft seat away from the first support rod. A limiting groove is also provided inside the grooved ring. A limiting ring is slidably disposed inside the grooved ring in cooperation with the limiting groove. A return spring is provided between the limiting groove and the limiting ring. A limiting boss is fixedly provided at the end of the limiting ring away from the housing. A limiting stop is fixedly provided on the side of the first support rod near the adjustment assembly. A torsion spring is provided between the first support rod and the first shaft seat.

[0008] In one embodiment, an L-shaped top rod is fixedly provided on the clamping assembly.

[0009] In one embodiment, a water inlet is provided on the first support rod, and the water inlet is connected to the cleaning brush.

[0010] In one embodiment, the drying brush is an absorbent sponge.

[0011] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a driving assembly, which includes a lead screw. The lead screw is rotatably mounted in the housing via a bearing. Two guide rods are fixedly mounted in the housing about the lead screw as an axis of symmetry. A first slide block is slidably mounted on the two guide rods. The first slide block is threadedly connected to the lead screw and is also connected to a second base.

[0012] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism further includes a drive compartment, which is fixedly mounted on the housing. A third gear and a fourth gear are rotatably mounted inside the drive compartment on the side near the housing. A motor is fixedly mounted on the drive compartment, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the third gear. The fourth gear is also connected to a lead screw.

[0013] In one embodiment, a first pulley is provided on the fourth gear, and a second pulley is rotatably provided on the side of the drive chamber away from the housing. A transmission belt is sleeved on the first pulley and the second pulley. The clamping assembly includes two chucks, one of which is rotatably provided on the drive chamber and connected to the second pulley. An adjustment groove is provided through the shell wall of the housing, and a second slide is slidably provided in the adjustment groove. The other chuck is rotatably provided on the second slide, and the second slide is also slidably connected to two guide rods.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are: 1. The cleaning and drying functions are linked. Through the meshing transmission of the first gear and the second gear, the cleaning brush automatically moves away from the rock sample when it is in contact with the rock sample, and the cleaning brush rebounds after cleaning and drives the drying brush to move closer to the rock sample. This synchronous switching avoids impurities from sticking to the drying brush during the cleaning process and improves the surface cleaning quality of the rock sample.

[0015] 2. Adjusting the component settings: By pressing the first support rod, the limiting stop bar and the limiting boss are engaged to limit the position of the cleaning brush, ensuring that the cleaning brush is in close contact with the rock sample surface; at the same time, when cleaning is completed, the limiting ring is released by pressing the L-shaped top rod, realizing the automatic switching between the cleaning brush and the drying brush. The operation is convenient and the structure is reliable, improving the stability of the cleaning process. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the rock sample processing device for mineral exploration provided in this application includes a first base 1, a housing 4 is provided on the top of the first base 1 via a fixed seat 3, a drive mechanism 5 is installed inside the housing 4, a connecting groove 10 is provided through the shell wall of the housing 4, a cleaning component 6 is slidably arranged in the connecting groove 10, the cleaning component 6 is also connected to the drive mechanism 5, and clamping components are provided on both sides of the housing 4.

[0021] The rock sample is placed in the clamping assembly, which holds both ends of the sample in place. Once the sample is secured, the drive mechanism 5 is activated. The drive mechanism 5 moves the cleaning assembly 6 along the connecting groove 10. During this movement, the cleaning assembly 6 cleans and dries the surface of the rock sample, ensuring its cleanliness for subsequent analysis.

[0022] The cleaning assembly 6 includes a second base 61, which is connected to the drive mechanism 5. A first bearing 62 and a second bearing 63 are mounted on the second base 61. A first support rod 64 is rotatably mounted inside the first bearing 62. A cleaning brush 69 is fixedly mounted on the end of the first support rod 64 away from the housing 4. A second support rod 65 is rotatably mounted inside the second bearing 63. A drying brush 610 is fixedly mounted on the end of the second support rod 65 away from the housing 4. A first gear 67 is mounted on the connecting shaft between the first bearing 62 and the first support rod 64. A second gear 68 is mounted on the connecting shaft between the second bearing 63 and the second support rod 65. The first gear 67 and the second gear 68 mesh.

[0023] When cleaning the rock sample, the operator first presses the first support rod 64 towards the rock sample to make the cleaning brush 69 adhere tightly to the surface of the rock sample. When the first support rod 64 is pressed down, it will drive the first gear 67 to rotate. When the first gear 67 rotates, it drives the second gear 68 to rotate synchronously, so that the drying brush 610 moves away from the surface of the rock sample. This ensures that the drying brush 610 will not interfere with the cleaning brush 69 when cleaning the surface of the rock sample, and prevents impurities from adhering to the drying brush 610 during the cleaning process.

[0024] When the cleaning brush 69 finishes cleaning the surface of the rock sample, it can be driven to leave the surface of the rock sample. At the same time, the first gear 67 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the second gear 68 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the drying brush 610 is close to the surface of the rock sample. At this time, the drive mechanism 5 drives the cleaning component 6 to move in the opposite direction along the connecting groove 10. The drying brush 610 wipes the surface of the rock sample dry to ensure that there is no residual moisture on the surface, so as to facilitate the subsequent preservation and experimental analysis of the rock sample.

[0025] Optionally, it also includes an adjustment component 9, which includes a grooved ring 91. The grooved ring 91 is opened on the outside of the first shaft seat 62. A limiting groove 93 is also opened in the grooved ring 91. A limiting ring 92 is slidably disposed in the grooved ring 91 in cooperation with the limiting groove 93. A return spring is provided between the limiting groove 93 and the limiting ring 92. A limiting boss 94 is fixedly provided at the end of the limiting ring 92 away from the housing 4. A limiting stop bar 95 is fixedly provided on the side of the first support rod 64 near the adjustment component 9. A torsion spring 66 is provided between the first support rod 64 and the first shaft seat 62.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the cleaning brush 69 is pressed down, the limiting stop 95 contacts the limiting boss 94. The continued pressing of the limiting stop 95 will cause the limiting ring 92 to slide inward along the limiting groove 93 by pressing down the limiting boss 94. During the sliding process, the limiting ring 92 compresses the return spring until the limiting boss 94 is submerged in the limiting groove 93. At this time, the limiting stop 95 continues to move down. When the limiting stop 95 disengages from the limiting boss 94, the return spring pushes the limiting ring 92 back to its original position. The limiting boss 94 will then be located directly above the limiting stop 95. When the pressing on the first support rod 64 is released, under the action of the torsion spring 66, the first support rod 64 rebounds through the limiting stop 95 and abuts against the limiting boss 94, thereby completing the limiting of the first support rod 64. While ensuring the adhesion between the cleaning brush 69 and the rock sample surface, the drying brush 610 is kept at an appropriate distance when the cleaning brush 69 cleans the rock sample surface to prevent impurities from adhering to the drying brush 610.

[0027] Optionally, an L-shaped push rod 96 is fixedly provided on the clamping assembly.

[0028] During the cleaning process of the cleaning brush 69 on the surface of the rock sample, the cleaning brush 69 moves along the connecting groove 10 and gradually approaches the L-shaped top rod 96. When the L-shaped top rod 96 contacts the limiting ring 92, the continued movement of the cleaning brush 69 will cause the L-shaped top rod 96 to push the limiting ring 92 into the groove ring 91, compressing the return spring. When the limiting ring 92 slides to the limit position inside the groove ring 91 (the cleaning of the rock sample surface is completed), the limiting boss 94 is completely submerged in the limiting groove 93, that is, the limiting boss 94 is released from contact with the limiting stop rod 95. At this time, under the action of the torsion spring 66, the first support rod 64 quickly rebounds, driving the cleaning brush 69 to withdraw from the surface of the rock sample. At the same time, due to the rebound of the first support rod 64, the first gear 67 rotates in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the second gear 68 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the drying brush 610 quickly comes into contact with the rock sample surface. Then the drive mechanism 5 starts again, driving the cleaning component 6 to move in the opposite direction along the connecting groove 10, so that the drying brush 610 wipes the rock sample surface dry to ensure that the surface is dry.

[0029] Optionally, a water inlet 611 is provided on the first support rod 64, and the water inlet 611 is connected to the cleaning brush 69. The water inlet 611 is connected to an external water source, and during cleaning, water flows into the cleaning brush 69 through the water inlet 611, which enhances the cleaning effect and improves the cleaning of the rock sample surface.

[0030] Optionally, the drying brush 610 is an absorbent sponge. The soft absorbent sponge effectively absorbs residual moisture, removing water stains after cleaning and ensuring the rock sample surface is dry and free of marks, thus improving the overall cleaning effect.

[0031] Optionally, the drive mechanism 5 includes a drive assembly, which includes a lead screw 58. The lead screw 58 is rotatably mounted in the housing 4 via a bearing. Two guide rods 511 are fixedly mounted in the housing 4 with the lead screw 58 as the axis of symmetry. A first slide block 59 is slidably mounted on the two guide rods 511. The first slide block 59 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 58 and is also connected to the second base 61.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the lead screw 58 rotates, it drives the first slide block 59 to slide along the guide rod 511, thereby pushing the second base 61 to move, realizing the control of the sliding of the cleaning component 6 in the connecting groove 10, and ensuring the precision and efficiency of the cleaning and drying process.

[0033] Optionally, the drive mechanism 5 also includes a drive chamber 51, which is fixedly mounted on the housing 4. A third gear 52 and a fourth gear 54 are rotatably mounted on the side of the drive chamber 51 near the housing 4. A motor 57 is fixedly mounted on the drive chamber 51. The output shaft of the motor 57 is connected to the third gear 52, and the fourth gear 54 is also connected to the lead screw 58.

[0034] In this embodiment, during the start-up and drive transmission of the motor 57, the third gear 52 meshes with the fourth gear 54, the fourth gear 54 rotates, driving the lead screw 58 to rotate, causing the first slide block 59 to slide along the smooth rod 511, thereby controlling the movement of the wiping brush 610 and the cleaning brush 69, further improving the cleaning and wiping efficiency.

[0035] By changing the rotation direction of motor 57, the cleaning mechanism can perform forward cleaning and reverse drying of the rock sample surface, flexibly adjusting the operation mode, improving the overall cleaning effect, and ensuring that the rock sample surface is clean and flawless.

[0036] Optionally, a first pulley 53 is provided on the fourth gear 54, and a second pulley 55 is rotatably provided on the side of the drive chamber 51 away from the housing 4. A transmission belt 56 is sleeved on the first pulley 53 and the second pulley 55. The clamping assembly includes two chucks 8, one of which is rotatably provided on the drive chamber 51 and connected to the second pulley 55. An adjustment groove 11 is provided through the shell wall of the housing 4. A second slide block 510 is slidably provided in the adjustment groove 11. The other chuck 8 is rotatably provided on the second slide block 510. The second slide block 510 is also slidably connected to two guide rods 511.

[0037] In this embodiment, the chuck 8 is a four-jaw chuck as in the prior art. The tight clamping of the four-jaw chuck ensures that the rock sample is firmly fixed, preventing displacement during cleaning and drying. When the third gear 52 rotates, it drives the first pulley 53 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 55 to rotate synchronously via the transmission belt 56, ensuring stable drive transmission. At the same time, one of the chucks 8 is rotatably mounted on the drive chamber 51, and driven by the second pulley 55, the rock sample and the other chuck 8 rotate synchronously during the cleaning and drying process, further improving the uniformity of cleaning and ensuring that every angle of the rock sample is treated, thereby improving the overall cleaning and drying effect of the rock sample.

[0038] Since another chuck 8 is mounted on the second slide 510, changing the position of the second slide 510 within the adjustment groove 11 adjusts the distance between the two chucks 8, accommodating the clamping requirements of rock samples of different sizes, ensuring stable and flexible clamping, and further improving the applicability and ease of operation of the equipment. It should be noted that the lead screw 8 passes through the second slide 510 but is not threadedly connected to it; therefore, the rotation of the lead screw 8 does not affect the position of the second slide 510.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
