[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the present invention provides a cylindrical ore washing device for laterite nickel ore, comprising: a plurality of ore washing cylinders 1, a slurry inlet structure 2, a plurality of driving mechanisms 3 and a water injection mechanism 4, wherein a washing cavity is formed inside each of the ore washing cylinders 1, and the plurality of ore washing cavities are sequentially connected, and the plurality of ore washing cylinders 1 form an inclination angle with the horizontal plane, and the inclination angle of the ore washing cylinder 1 increases sequentially along the material conveying direction; the slurry inlet structure 2 has a main conveying channel 21 and a plurality of material conveying channels 22, the main conveying channel 21 is connected to the plurality of material conveying channels 22, and the plurality of material conveying channels 22 are connected to the plurality of material conveying channels 22. The delivery channel 22 is respectively connected to several ore washing cylinders 1. The main delivery channel 21 is provided with a viscosity detection module 23 for detecting the viscosity of the ore slurry, so as to control the ore slurry to be delivered to the corresponding ore washing cylinder 1 through the corresponding material delivery channel 22 according to the detected viscosity value, wherein the viscosity value of the ore slurry in the ore washing cylinder 1 closer to the first level is greater; several of the driving mechanisms 3 are respectively connected to several of the ore washing cylinders 1 to drive the ore washing cylinders 1 to rotate respectively; the water injection mechanism 4 is arranged in each of the ore washing cylinders 1 to provide a water source for washing the mineral material into the ore washing cylinder 1.

[0020] In this device, a plurality of washing cylinders 1 are provided, and a plurality of washing cavities are connected in sequence. A water source for washing mineral materials is provided into the washing cylinders 1 through a water injection mechanism 4. The driving mechanism 3 is used to drive each washing cylinder 1 to rotate so as to clean the materials. The washing cylinders 1 all form an inclination angle with the horizontal plane, and the inclination angle increases in sequence along the material conveying direction. In addition, a separate material conveying channel 22 is configured for each washing cylinder 1. The viscosity value of the conveyed slurry is detected by a viscosity detection module 23 provided in the main conveying channel 21, so that the slurry of the corresponding viscosity is conveyed to the corresponding washing cylinder 1, and the ores of different viscosities can be conveyed and cleaned in a targeted manner. Among them, the closer to the first stage, the greater the viscosity value of the slurry in the washing cylinder 1, and the smaller the viscosity of the slurry, the smaller the viscosity of the slurry. Combined with the graded cleaning form, when the viscosity of the raw material is relatively high, the mud content in the raw material is relatively high, so it is mainly necessary to remove the slurry containing mud and sand. Therefore, a cylinder with a smaller inclination is selected to fully separate the mud and sand in the raw material from the ore, and then the inclination of the cylinder is increased to increase the flow rate of the raw material in the subsequent cylinder, so that the accumulated raw material is dispersed step by step, which is conducive to cleaning the mud and sand attached to the ore; and the feed can also be controlled according to the viscosity of the raw material. For slurry with higher viscosity, it has a larger mud content and needs to be fed into the first-level washing cylinder 1 for multiple washings. The slurry with relatively lower viscosity is transported to the subsequent washing cylinder 1 according to the slurry viscosity setting. This relatively reduces the washing steps and ensures that the ore can be fully cleaned, which is conducive to improving the washing efficiency.

[0021] It should be noted that the specific structure of the viscosity detection module 23 for detecting the viscosity of the slurry is not limited. It can directly use a viscosity detector or other equipment that can detect the viscosity. The working principle of the viscosity detector is mainly to calculate the viscosity by measuring the flow rate of the liquid under the application of force.

[0022] In order to realize the transportation of raw materials through the corresponding material conveying channels 22 according to the viscosity of the materials, as shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, several of the material conveying channels 22 are provided with opening and closing valves 24, and the opening and closing valves 24 are electrically connected to the viscosity detection module 23, so that when the viscosity of the material reaches the set value of the processing viscosity of each washing cylinder 1, the corresponding opening and closing valves 24 are driven to open by the viscosity detection module 23 and the control system, and when one of the opening and closing valves 24 is opened, the other opening and closing valves 24 are all in a closed state. For example, when it is detected that the viscosity value is in the processing range of the first-level washing cylinder 1, the first opening and closing valve 24 is driven to open, and the following two opening and closing valves 24 are closed to ensure that the raw materials are accurately transported to the corresponding washing cylinder 1.

[0023] In order to further improve the cleaning effect of the ore, as shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, the cylindrical ore washing device for laterite nickel ore also includes a plurality of filtering and cleaning structures 5, and the plurality of filtering and cleaning structures 5 are respectively arranged in the ore washing cylinder 1 after the first stage. The ore after the first stage cleaning contains less mud and sand, which can avoid mud and sand from mixing in the filtering and cleaning structure 5, and the filtering and cleaning structures 5 all include a filtering cylinder 51, which is concentrically arranged in the ore washing cylinder 1 and fixedly connected to the ore washing cylinder 1 through a support rod 52, and can rotate with the ore washing cylinder 1, and the diameters of the plurality of filtering cylinders 51 increase successively along the material conveying direction and are connected successively, so that the ore can be conveyed to the next filtering cylinder 51 in sequence. In order to supply water to the ore washing cylinder 1 and the filtering and cleaning structure 5, the water injection mechanism 4 includes a first cleaning component 41 and a second cleaning component 42. The first cleaning component 41 is arranged inside the ore washing cylinder 1 of the first stage to transport water to the inside of the ore washing cylinder 1 of the first stage. The second cleaning component 42 is arranged inside the ore washing cylinder 1 after the first stage and is located in several filter cylinders 51 to transport water to the inside of the several filter cylinders 51. The ore cleaned by the ore washing cylinder 1 is then transported to the filter cylinder 51. When the filter cylinder 51 rotates with the ore washing cylinder 1, it cooperates with the second cleaning component 42 to spray water into the filter cylinder 51, which can further clean the ore inside the filter cylinder 51. The cleaned water is directly discharged into the ore washing cylinder 1, making full use of water resources.

[0024] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the water injection mechanism 4 also includes a discharge flushing member 43, which is arranged at the discharge end of the ore washing cylinder 1 at the last stage, and one end of which extends toward the interior of the ore washing cylinder 1 to further clean the material. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first cleaning member 41, the second cleaning member 42 and the discharge flushing member 43 all include a plurality of nozzles and water pipes, which are connected to a water source and are fixed to an external fixed structure and will not rotate with the rotation of the ore washing cylinder 1 and the filter cylinder 51. A plurality of the nozzles are evenly arranged along the length direction of the water pipe and are connected to the water pipe, and the nozzles are directed toward the raw materials below to achieve flushing of the ore.

[0025] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments, the ore washing cylinder 1 includes an inner cylinder 11 and an outer cylinder 12, and the inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12 are coaxially sleeved together. The inner cylinder 11 is arranged inside and a filter is provided in the middle. The inner cylinder 11 and the outer cylinder 12 are fixed by circumferentially arranged support blocks. An interlayer for discharging mud and sand is formed therebetween. The interlayer is connected to a mud discharge pipe so that the filter part can be used to filter and discharge the mud and sand in the internal ore into the interlayer during rotation, and finally transported out through the mud discharge pipe. Furthermore, each inner cylinder 11 is the same size.

[0026] In order to set a feeding structure at one end of each ore washing cylinder 1 so as to use the material conveying channel 22 to convey raw materials of corresponding viscosity into the inside of the ore washing cylinder 1, as shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, each of the ore washing cylinders 1 is arranged in an interval type, and two adjacent ore washing cylinders 1 are arranged at intervals, and a material guide pipe 13 is provided at the interval, which can guide the ore from one of the ore washing cylinders 1 into the other ore washing cylinder 1.

[0027] Specifically, in order to reduce equipment costs without affecting the efficiency of ore washing, in this embodiment, three ore washing drums 1 are arranged, among which the inclination angle of the first-stage ore washing drum 1 is 0°~5°, the inclination angle of the second-stage ore washing drum 1 is 5°~15°, and the inclination angle of the third-stage ore washing drum 1 is 15°~30°. The three ore washing drums 1 are easy to install and can meet the needs of classified cleaning of ore. For ore pulp with higher viscosity, its mud content is larger, so it is sent to the first-stage ore washing drum 1 and washed multiple times through the three ore washing drums 1. The ore pulp with relatively lower viscosity is transported to the second-stage ore washing drum 1 or the third-stage ore washing drum 1 according to the mud content for two-stage cleaning or one-stage cleaning, thereby relatively reducing the number of ore washing steps. At the same time, since the second-stage and third-stage ore washing drums 1 have relatively large inclinations, their conveying speed is faster, and at the same time, it can meet the needs of cleaning ore with less mud, which is beneficial to improving ore washing efficiency.

[0028] In order to achieve stable operation of the ore washing drum 1, as shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the number of the driving mechanisms 3 is the same as the number of the ore washing drum 1, and the driving mechanism 3 includes an outer gear ring 31, a gear 32, a transmission member 33 and a driving motor 34. The outer gear ring 31 is embedded in the middle part of the outer side of the ore washing drum 1, and the outer side of the outer gear ring 31 is provided with a tooth groove. The gear 32 is rotatably mounted on the base at the bottom and is provided on one side of the outer gear ring 31, meshing and rotating with the tooth groove of the outer gear ring 31. The driving motor 34 is connected to the central axis of the gear 32 through the transmission member 33. Specifically, the transmission member 33 can adopt a belt-type reduction box, which can also be a gear-type or other form of structure that can transmit rotation. During implementation, the driving motor 34 drives the gear 32 to rotate through the transmission member 33, and drives the outer gear ring 31 and the ore washing drum 1 to rotate through the gear 32 to wash the ore. In addition, a support structure 14 is provided at both ends of each of the ore washing cylinders 1. The support structure 14 includes a support ring 141 and two support wheels 142. The support rings 141 are respectively embedded in the outer sides of the two ends of the ore washing cylinder 1. The two support wheels 142 are also rotatably mounted on the base at the bottom and are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the ore washing cylinder 1. The support wheels 142 are supported below the support rings 141 and are rotatably connected to the support rings 141, so that the ore washing cylinder 1 can rotate stably.

[0029] In order to improve the cleaning quality of each washing drum 1, as shown in Figures 2 to 5, in some embodiments, the interior of the washing drum 1 is sequentially provided with a first stirring assembly 6 and a second stirring assembly 7 along the material conveying direction, and the first stirring assembly 6 and the second stirring assembly 7 respectively include a first stirring plate 61 and a second stirring plate 71 arranged along the circumference of the washing drum 1, and the first stirring plate 61 and the second stirring plate 71 are both fixedly connected to the washing drum 1 at one end and extend toward the center of the washing drum 1 at the other end, and can rotate therewith when the washing drum 1 is in operation. Specifically, in this embodiment, each of the first stirring plates 61 is arranged in a spiral manner, and two groups of the second stirring components 7 are provided. The second stirring plates 71 of the two groups of the second stirring components 7 are staggered to disperse the silt and ore, and the installation position of the second stirring plates 71 is consistent with the length direction of the washing drum 1. When the raw material enters the interior of the washing drum 1, it is first spirally stirred and transported by the first stirring plate 61, and then sequentially passed through the two second stirring components 7 for multiple stirrings to disperse the silt and ore. Finally, the silt can be filtered out through the washing drum 1. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, in the first-stage washing drum 1, the second stirring plate 71 is a C-shaped structure, which can drive the raw material upward and lift the material at the top of the washing drum 1 to ensure sufficient contact and friction, which is convenient for removing the silt on the ore or in blocks. As shown in Figure 5, in the washing drum 1 after the first stage, the second stirring plate 71 is an L-shaped structure.

[0030] Working principle: During implementation, the slurry is transported through the main conveying channel 21, and its viscosity is detected by the viscosity detection module 23. The opening and closing valve 24 of the corresponding material conveying channel 22 is triggered to open according to its viscosity value, so that the material passes through the corresponding material conveying channel 22 and enters the corresponding ore washing drum 1. The driving motor 34 drives the gear 32 to rotate through the transmission member 33, and the gear 32 drives the outer gear ring 31 and the ore washing drum 1 to rotate. The cleaning water is respectively transported to the ore washing drum 1 and the filter drum 51 through the first cleaning member 41, the second cleaning member 42 and the discharge flushing member 43. The raw material is turned over by the first stirring plate 61 and the second stirring plate 71 in the ore washing drum 1 to clean the mud and sand therein. After the multi-stage ore washing drum 1 is cleaned, the ore is transported to the filter drum 51 again. The filter drum 51 can rotate with the rotation of the ore washing drum 1, and the second cleaning member 42 can supply water to the inside of the filter drum 51 to clean the ore in a small path, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0031] The present invention is provided with a plurality of washing cylinders 1, a slurry inlet structure 2, a plurality of driving mechanisms 3 and a water injection mechanism 4. The washing cavities of the plurality of washing cylinders 1 are connected in sequence, and the washing cylinders 1 form an inclination angle with the horizontal plane, and the inclination angle increases in sequence along the material conveying direction. In addition, a separate material conveying channel 22 is configured for each washing cylinder 1. The viscosity value of the conveyed slurry is detected by the viscosity detection module 23 provided in the main conveying channel 21, so that the slurry of the corresponding viscosity is conveyed to the corresponding washing cylinder 1. Ores of different viscosities can be conveyed and cleaned in a targeted manner. Among them, the closer to the first level, the greater the viscosity value of the slurry in the washing cylinder 1. It is combined with a graded cleaning form, and the raw materials When the viscosity is high, it is mainly necessary to remove the slurry containing mud and sand. Therefore, a cylinder with a smaller inclination is selected to extend the cleaning time of the raw material in the first-stage washing cylinder 1, so as to facilitate the full discharge of mud and sand. Then the inclination of the cylinder is increased to increase the flow rate of the raw material in the subsequent cylinder, thereby dispersing the accumulated raw material step by step, which is conducive to cleaning the mud and sand attached to the ore; and the feed can also be controlled according to the viscosity of the raw material. For slurry with higher viscosity, it has a larger mud content and needs to be fed into the first-stage washing cylinder 1 for multiple washings. The slurry with relatively lower viscosity is transported to the subsequent washing cylinder 1 according to the slurry viscosity setting. This relatively reduces the washing steps and ensures that the ore can be fully cleaned, which is beneficial to improving the washing efficiency.
