Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mineral flotation auxiliary equipment, and in particular to a flotation foam sluice box processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the mineral flotation process, the flotation froth sluice is a key channel for conveying slurry froth. The cleanliness of its interior directly affects the efficiency and quality of subsequent operations. Since flotation froth usually carries a certain amount of sludge and reagent residue, after long-term flow and transmission, it is very easy to form stubborn deposits or scale layers on the inner wall, bottom corners, and areas with slower flow rates of the sluice. These deposits not only hinder the smooth flow of froth, but in severe cases, they can even cause the sluice to become blocked and lead to overflow accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to equip the sluice with appropriate flushing equipment to clean and maintain the interior of the sluice regularly.
[0003] However, most existing chute flushing devices use fixed-position spray pipe networks for full-coverage operation. While this method can complete basic cleaning to some extent, it is inadequate when faced with stubborn deposits that are unevenly distributed and located in uncertain positions inside the chute. Fixed nozzles cannot adjust the spray distance and angle, making it difficult to concentrate water energy on one point for strong stripping, resulting in poor cleaning effect. In order to cover these dead corners, it is often necessary to turn on all nozzles and flush with a large volume of water for a long time. This not only causes a great waste of production water, but also increases the burden on wastewater treatment.
[0004] To address these issues, while the industry has attempted to introduce mobile flushing pipelines, significant structural defects remain in practical applications. Firstly, there is a lack of integrated flow control mechanisms, making it difficult to adjust the water flow in real time based on the degree of scale buildup during movement. Secondly, there is a lack of reliable and convenient positioning and locking mechanisms. When the mobile pipeline delivers high-pressure water, the reaction force of the water flow can easily cause unexpected displacement or vibration of the pipeline. This not only affects the accuracy of flushing but may also lead to safety hazards due to pipeline instability. Furthermore, existing simple fixing methods often cause rigid damage to the pipe wall. There is a lack of dedicated equipment that integrates flexible sliding, precise flow control, and flexible, stable locking.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a flotation foam sluice box processing equipment to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the existing technology, most existing sluice box flushing devices use fixed-position spray pipe networks for full-coverage operation. This method has problems such as the inability to target and remove stubborn sediment points that are unevenly distributed and uncertain in location inside the sluice box, the need to open all nozzles for a long time and use large volume of water to cover dead corners, resulting in serious waste of water resources, and the lack of a dedicated device that integrates flexible sliding, precise flow control and flexible and stable locking. This utility model aims to provide a flotation foam sluice box processing device with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.
[0007] This utility model provides a flotation foam sluice box processing device, comprising: a processing tank, a fixing block 1 fixedly connected to the top of the processing tank, a transport pipe 1 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 1, the transport pipe 1 being connected to a water spray nozzle, the flotation foam sluice box processing device further comprising a transport pipe 2 slidably connected to the inner wall of the processing tank, a flange ball rotatably connected to the inner wall of the transport pipe 2, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the top of the flange ball, a handle fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, a water spray nozzle connected to the bottom of the flange ball, multiple fixing blocks 2 fixedly connected to the top of the processing tank, a rotating column fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing blocks 2, a squeezing ring rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, an elastic rope fixedly connected to the inner wall of the squeezing ring, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the squeezing ring, a threaded column rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate, a knob fixedly connected to the top of the threaded column, a threaded groove opened on the outer wall of the processing tank, a water outlet opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the processing tank, and a sealing plug slidably connected to the outer wall of the water outlet.
[0008] Preferably, to optimize the layout of the fixed flushing assembly and maintain the stability of the pipe body, the first fixing block is positioned at one edge of the top of the processing tank, and the first transport pipe vertically penetrates the first fixing block. To ensure that the water flow can effectively cover the bottom material accumulation area, the spray nozzle is located at the bottom end of the first transport pipe, and the nozzle orifice faces the inner bottom surface of the processing tank. To expand the coverage of the flushing operation and facilitate connection to external water sources at both ends, the second transport pipe slides horizontally along the length of the processing tank, and both ends of the second transport pipe extend outside the processing tank.
[0009] Preferably, to achieve precise control over the flow and interruption of flushing water, the flange ball is positioned at the center of the internal flow channel of the second transport pipe. A through hole is formed on the flange ball, and the connection between the through hole and the second transport pipe can be controlled by rotating the rotating rod. To facilitate external force application by the operator to adjust the valve core, the rotating rod passes vertically through the wall of the second transport pipe and connects to the flange ball, with a handle located at the top of the rotating rod. To provide flexible cushioning while fixing the pipe, the compression ring has a semi-circular structure, and after being flipped by the rotating column, the compression ring can cover the outer surface of the second transport pipe.
[0010] Preferably, to increase friction and prevent damage to the pipe surface from rigid components by utilizing its own elastic deformation, the elastic rope is positioned on the inner concave surface of the compression ring. When the compression ring presses against the second transport pipe, the elastic rope is tightly fitted against the outer wall of the second transport pipe. To provide reliable mechanical locking force to prevent pipe displacement during flushing, the external thread of the threaded post matches the internal thread of the threaded groove. Rotating the knob drives the threaded post into the threaded groove to lock the connecting plate. To ensure complete drainage of cleaning wastewater and improve sealing performance using material properties, the outlet is located at the lowest point of the processing tank, and the sealing plug is made of rubber.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model solves the problem that fixed flushing pipes in the prior art cannot flexibly adjust the position of specific key parts in the chute and have many blind spots by setting a fixedly connected transport pipe 1 and a slidably connected transport pipe 2 at the top of the processing tank. It achieves the effect of integrating large-scale basic flushing and movable fine flushing. It can flexibly change the flushing focus according to the actual material accumulation, significantly improve the cleaning efficiency of key parts of the chute and expand the operation coverage.
[0012] 2. This utility model solves the problem of water waste caused by the difficulty of accurately adjusting the water flow of a single pipeline in existing cleaning equipment by integrating a flange ball valve structure driven by a rotating rod and a handle inside the second transport pipe. It achieves the effect of easily controlling the internal water flow and flow rate through the action of the external handle, realizing efficient and precise cleaning with low water volume for stubborn stains or key areas, and effectively saving production water costs.
[0013] 3. This utility model, through the combined use of a compression ring, an elastic rope, and a threaded locking assembly, solves the problems of easy displacement of mobile pipelines under the reaction force of water flow and easy damage to pipe materials by traditional rigid fixing methods. It achieves the effect of quickly locking the position of the transport pipe through the mechanical cooperation of the thread, and protecting the pipe wall by the flexible contact of the elastic rope. The friction and buffering effect of the elastic rope ensures the structural stability during flushing operations and extends the service life of pipeline components. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0017] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a flotation foam sluice processing device, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where fixed flushing pipelines cannot flexibly adjust the position of specific key parts in the sluice, and the water volume is difficult to control, resulting in low flushing efficiency, as well as the lack of an effective pipeline position locking structure.
[0018] like Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the flotation foam sluice processing equipment includes a processing tank 1, which serves as the main support structure and waste liquid collection container. A fixing block 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the processing tank 1. The fixing block 2 provides support for the installation of the first water supply pipeline. The fixing block 2 is located at one edge of the top of the processing tank 1. A transport pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 2. The transport pipe 3 vertically penetrates the fixing block 2 and is used to connect to an external water source for targeted water delivery. The transport pipe 3 is connected to a spray nozzle. Water inlet 4 is located at the bottom end of transport pipe 3, and the nozzle of water inlet 4 faces the inner bottom surface of processing tank 1. Water inlet 4 is used to spray water into the processing tank 1 for concentrated rinsing. Water outlet 18 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of processing tank 1. Water outlet 18 is located at the lowest point of the bottom of processing tank 1. Water outlet 18 is used to discharge wastewater after cleaning. A sealing plug 19 is slidably connected to the outer wall of water outlet 18. The sealing plug 19 is made of rubber and is used to seal water outlet 18 to achieve water storage function.
[0019] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the core of the technical solution of this embodiment is that the flotation foam sluice processing equipment also includes a control component for finely adjusting the flow rate and a clamping component for locking the position of the pipe. Furthermore, the control component is integrated inside the sliding pipe, and the clamping component is set on the top of the processing tank 1 and forms a wrapping fixed fit with the sliding pipe.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 To achieve flexible adjustment of the rinsing position and precise control of the water flow, transport pipe 2 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of processing tank 1. Transport pipe 2 5 slides horizontally along the length of processing tank 1. Transport pipe 2 5 serves as the carrier of the mobile rinsing unit. A flange ball 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of transport pipe 2 5. The flange ball 8 is located at the center of the internal flow channel of transport pipe 2 5 and has a through hole. The flange ball 8 serves as the core valve core for controlling the water flow. Rotating rod 6 passes vertically through the pipe wall of transport pipe 2 5 and is fixedly connected to flange ball 8. Handle 7 is fixedly connected to the top of rotating rod 6. By operating handle 7, rotating rod 6 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives flange ball 8 to rotate to change the overlap between the through hole and the flow channel of transport pipe 2 5, thereby controlling the on / off state and flow rate of water inside transport pipe 2 5. A water spray pipe 9 is connected to the bottom of flange ball 8. The water spray pipe 9 moves with transport pipe 2 5 and is used to finely guide the water flow to the surface of the target to be cleaned.
[0021] Meanwhile, to ensure that the transport pipe 2 5 remains stable after being moved to the designated position, multiple fixing blocks 2 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the processing tank 1. A rotating column 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 2 11, and a compression ring 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 12. The compression ring 10 has a semi-circular structure and can rotate around the rotating column 12 and cover the outer surface of the transport pipe 2 5. An elastic rope 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the compression ring 10. The elastic rope 13 is located in the inner concave surface of the compression ring 10. When the compression ring 10 covers the transport pipe 2 5, the elastic rope 13 fits tightly against the outer wall of the transport pipe 2 5. The elastic rope 13 is used to increase the friction between itself and the transport pipe 2 5 by utilizing its own elastic deformation and to prevent rigid components from damaging the pipe surface.
[0022] Based on this, in order to achieve mechanical locking of the extrusion ring 10, a connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the extrusion ring 10, a threaded post 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 14, a knob 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded post 15, and a threaded groove 17 is opened on the outer wall of the processing groove 1. The internal thread of the threaded groove 17 matches the external thread of the threaded post 15. When it is necessary to fix the second transport tube 5, the extrusion ring 10 is flipped so that it presses the second transport tube 5, the connecting plate 14 is aligned with the threaded groove 17, and the threaded post 15 is driven to screw into the threaded groove 17 by rotating the knob 16, thereby locking the connecting plate 14 on the outer wall of the processing groove 1. Then, the second transport tube 5 is firmly pressed against the inner wall of the processing groove 1 by the extrusion ring 10 and the elastic rope 13.
[0023] In order to optimize the installation layout of the fixed flushing components and ensure that the flushing water flow can effectively cover the bottom material, the fixed block 2 is set at one side edge of the top of the processing tank 1, the transport pipe 3 penetrates the fixed block 2 vertically to keep the pipe body stable, and the spray nozzle 4 is located at the bottom end of the transport pipe 3, with the nozzle of the spray nozzle 4 facing the inner bottom surface of the processing tank 1.
[0024] To expand the coverage of the rinsing operation and facilitate connection to external water sources at both ends, the second transport pipe 5 slides horizontally along the length of the processing tank 1, with both ends extending outside the processing tank 1. To achieve precise control over the flow and interruption of the rinsing water, a flange ball 8 is positioned at the center of the internal flow channel of the second transport pipe 5. A through hole is provided on the flange ball 8, and the connection between the through hole and the second transport pipe 5 is controlled by rotating the rotating rod 6. The rotating rod 6 passes vertically through the pipe wall of the second transport pipe 5 and connects to the flange ball 8. A handle 7 is located at the top of the rotating rod 6 for easy operation by the operator.
[0025] In order to provide flexible cushioning and prevent hard wear while fixing the pipe, the compression ring 10 is designed with a semi-circular structure. After the compression ring 10 is flipped by the rotating column 12, it covers the outer surface of the second transport pipe 5. The elastic rope 13 is set in the inner concave surface of the compression ring 10. When the compression ring 10 presses the second transport pipe 5, the elastic rope 13 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the second transport pipe 5.
[0026] To provide reliable mechanical locking force to prevent pipe displacement during flushing, the external thread of the threaded post 15 matches the internal thread of the threaded groove 17. The threaded post 15 is screwed into the threaded groove 17 by rotating the knob 16 to lock the connecting plate 14. To ensure that the cleaning wastewater can be completely discharged and to improve the sealing performance by utilizing the material properties, the outlet 18 is located at the lowest point of the bottom of the processing tank 1, and the sealing plug 19 is made of rubber.
[0027] Working principle: When using the flotation foam sluice processing equipment, first connect the water pipes of the external water source to the inlet ends of transport pipe 3 and transport pipe 5 respectively. Fixing block 2 stably supports transport pipe 3 to keep its position fixed. Water is transported through transport pipe 3 to spray nozzle 4. Water is sprayed out from spray nozzle 4 to achieve a large-scale rinsing of the interior of the processing tank 1.
[0028] When it is necessary to perform fine rinsing on key areas or control the water volume, the operator turns the handle 7, which drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The rotating rod 6 drives the flange ball 8 to rotate inside the transport pipe 2 5. The rotation of the flange ball 8 changes the degree of overlap between the through hole on the flange ball 8 and the flow channel of the transport pipe 2 5, thereby controlling the flow of water from the transport pipe 2 5 to the spray pipe 9 and the flow rate.
[0029] When the rinsing position of the water spray pipe 9 needs to be adjusted, slide the transport pipe 2 5 to the target position on the inner wall of the processing tank 1, then press the squeezing ring 10 to make it rotate around the rotating column 12 and cover the transport pipe 2 5. The squeezing ring 10 drives the elastic rope 13 to squeeze the outer wall of the transport pipe 2 5. Align the connecting plate 14 with the threaded groove 17 on the outer wall of the processing tank 1. Drive the threaded column 15 into the threaded groove 17 by rotating the knob 16. The cooperation between the threaded column 15 and the threaded groove 17 locks the connecting plate 14 on the processing tank 1. Then, the squeezing ring 10 and the elastic rope 13 fix the transport pipe 2 5 in the current position. Thus, the centralized water supply of the water spray nozzle 4 and the fine diversion of the water spray pipe 9 achieve efficient and low-volume rinsing of key parts.
[0030] Wastewater generated during rinsing collects at the bottom of the processing tank 1. The sealing plug 19 is slid outward to separate it from the outlet 18, and the wastewater is discharged outward through the outlet 18. If water storage and soaking are required, the sealing plug 19 is slid in the opposite direction to block the outlet 18.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
