Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of powder impurity removal equipment, specifically to an attapulgite clay impurity removal equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Attapulgite clay is a natural hydrous magnesium silicate mineral. With its unique layered chain structure, abundant pores, and excellent colloidal, adsorption, bonding, and reinforcing properties, it has been widely used in many industries such as petroleum, building materials, and metallurgy. Its good plasticity also makes it useful in the making of handmade models and handicrafts. Attapulgite clay contains a variety of impurities such as quartz, dolomite, calcite, and gypsum. These impurities need to be removed using attapulgite clay impurity removal equipment before it can be processed and used.
[0003] After attapulgite clay is crushed by a ball mill, it can be separated by high-speed cyclone separation using an attapulgite clay impurity removal device (cyclone classifier). Centrifugal force is used to separate fine clay particles from larger or denser impurities, achieving one-time impurity removal. The attapulgite clay impurity removal device requires operators to connect and fix two receiving boxes to the coarse powder outlet and fine powder outlet of the cyclone classifier, respectively. When the receiving boxes are full of material, operators need to remove them and empty the material. In some existing attapulgite clay impurity removal devices, the receiving boxes are connected to the device body by pipes and threads, lacking a quick disassembly and assembly mechanism, making disassembly and assembly cumbersome and time-consuming and labor-intensive for operators. Therefore, to address the above problems, an attapulgite clay impurity removal device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0018] Workflow: This device needs to be used in conjunction with an attapulgite clay feeding device and a gas pump. Before use, the device must be powered on. The device is equipped with an external controller, which is electrically connected to the classifier body 11. Manual operation of the external controller can adjust the operating status of the classifier body 11. All of the above are existing technologies. Before using the device, the operator first bolts the guide pipe 26 to the outer shell 21, places the support frame 16 on the upper side of the outer shell 21, inserts the coarse powder outlet 14 into the rubber sleeve 23, and bolts the guide pipe 26 to the fine powder outlet 15. Then, the discharge port of the attapulgite clay feeding device is placed in the inlet. Above the feed inlet 12, the exhaust port and air inlet 13 of the gas pump are connected. When using this device, the operator first starts the classifier body 11 through the external controller, and at the same time starts the attapulgite clay feeding device and the gas pump. The attapulgite clay feeding device can convey attapulgite clay into the feed inlet 12, and the gas pump can convey air into the air inlet 13. Impurities are then separated by the classifier body 11. The separated small particles are discharged from the coarse powder outlet 14 and enter the collection box 31 located at the rear. The large particles are discharged from the fine powder outlet 15 and enter the collection box 31 located at the front through the guide pipe 26. The positioning tube 22 and rubber sleeve 23 ensure the sealing of the connection between the coarse powder outlet 14 and the outer shell 21; the connecting flange 25 and guide pipe 26 ensure the sealing of the connection between the fine powder outlet 15 and the outer shell 21; and the sealing rubber frame 32 ensures the sealing of the connection between the collection box 31 and the outer shell 21. This ensures that the separated small and large particles enter the two collection boxes 31 respectively without leakage. Simultaneously, the first filter plate 24 and the second filter plate 27 allow excess air to escape from the outer shell 21, balancing the air pressure inside. The collection box 31 can be made of transparent material, or... 1. A viewing window is added so that the staff can observe the amount of material stored in the collection box 31. After a period of time, when there is a lot of material stored in the collection box 31, the staff can hold the two first handles 29 and lift the locking frame 28 and the first handles 29 upward to separate the locking frame 28 from the outer shell 21. Then, hold the second handle 33 and pull the collection box 31, the sealing rubber frame 32 and the second handle 33 to the left to remove the collection box 31 from the outer shell 21. After emptying the material, the collection box 31 is reinstalled into the outer shell 21. Then, the locking frame 28 is reinstalled on the left side of the outer shell 21, and the collection box 31 can be locked by the locking frame 28.The device tightly connects the outer shell 21 and the coarse powder outlet 14 via the positioning tube 22 and rubber sleeve 23, and tightly connects the outer shell 21 and the fine powder outlet 15 via the connecting flange 25 and guide tube 26. The collecting box 31 is tightly connected to the outer shell 21 via the sealing rubber frame 32. The two collecting boxes 31 collect the materials separated from the classifier body 11 separately, and the collecting boxes 31 are locked by a sliding locking frame 28, enabling quick assembly, disassembly, and positioning of the collecting boxes 31. This device is simple, quick, time-saving, and labor-saving when assembling and disassembling the collecting boxes 31.
