It is apparent that the described examples are only a part of the embodiments of the disclosure, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the disclosure, all other examples obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the disclosure.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in order to achieve the above objectives, the disclosure provides the following technical solutions:

[0035] FIG. 1 is a schematic structure diagram of a wet electrostatic classification device for ultrafine powder based on a rotating flow field. The device includes a rotating joint 1, a material conveying shaft 2, a second electrode piece 3, a second wire connector 301, a first outlet 4, a cylinder body 5, a second outlet 6, a third outlet 7, a mechanical seal 8, a coupling 9, a machine frame 10, a deceleration motor 11, a second bearing 12, a second bearing seat 13, a rotating shaft 14, a first electrode piece 15, a first wire connector 151, a spray head 16, a first bearing 17, a first bearing seat 18, a spray head base 19, a spray hole 191, and a spray head end cover 20.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the cylinder body 5 of the device is a hollow cavity and is of a multi-stage cone structure. The material conveying shaft 2, the rotating shaft 14, and the spray head 16 are located inside the cylinder body 5. Axes of the material conveying shaft 2 and the rotating shaft 14 coincide with each other. The spray head 16 acts as a flange that fixedly connects the material conveying shaft 2 and the rotating shaft 14 together.

[0037] The material conveying shaft 2 is a hollow shaft. The upper end of the material conveying shaft 2 extends out of the cylinder body 5. The first bearing 17 and the first bearing seat 18 are disposed at the connection between the material conveying shaft 2 and the cylinder body 5. The rotating joint 1 is mounted on the upper end of the material conveying shaft 2.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2, the spray head 16 includes the spray head base 19 and the spray head end cover 20. The spray holes 191 are uniformly formed in the circumferential wall of the spray head base 19 and configured to spray out materials. The spray head base 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 14. The spray head end cover 20 is fixedly connected to the material conveying shaft 2. The spray head base 19 is fixedly connected to the spray head end cover 20 through a bolt to form the hollow cavity.

[0039] The cylinder body 5 in the present embodiment is of a three-stage cone structure. The first outlet 4, the second outlet 6, and the third outlet 7 are sequentially formed in a circumferential wall of the cylinder body 5 from top to bottom. The three outlets are located at the lowest position of the circumferential wall of each cone respectively. The spray head 16 is located at the upper middle position of the uppermost cone of the cylinder body 5. A spiral track 201 is disposed on a hollow inner wall of the material conveying shaft 2. A material enters the material conveying shaft 2 from the rotating joint 1, rotationally flows downward into the spray head 16 along the spiral track 201 on the hollow inner wall of the material conveying shaft 2, and is sprayed out from the spray hole 191.

[0040] When the ultrafine powder is classified and separated by the device, the material is fed into the rotating joint 1 through a feeding device (the feeding device is not shown in the figure), then enters the material conveying shaft 2 and rotationally flows downward along the spiral track 201. In the process of rotating flow, agglomerated large-particle clusters are dispersed, and at the same time, the material has a certain initial kinetic energy, which makes the material have a better spraying effect when sprayed from the spray hole 191, thereby achieving better classification.

[0041] The arrangement of the rotating joint 1 causes the material conveying shaft 2 and the feeding device to rotate relatively, so that the material has a certain downward speed when entering the spiral track 201, and at the same time, the arrangement of the rotating joint 1 forms a good sealing effect.

[0042] The lower end of the cylinder body 5 is connected to the machine frame 10. The deceleration motor 11 is mounted on the machine frame 10. The rotating shaft 14 is connected to the deceleration motor 11 through the coupling 9. Three sections of the first electrode pieces 15 are disposed on the circumferential wall of the cylinder body 5. The three sections of the first electrode pieces 15 are disposed on an inner side of respective circumferential wall of a three-stage cone respectively. There are two sections of the second electrode pieces 3 disposed on outer walls of the material conveying shaft 2 and the rotating shaft 14 respectively. The first outlet 4, the second outlet 6, and the third outlet 7 are configured to collect coarse particles, medium-sized particles, and fine particles respectively, so as to achieve multi-stage particle collection. The deceleration motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate through the coupling 9. The deceleration motor 11 with small vibration is required to be selected, thereby avoiding disturbance to a multi-physics coupling classification operation space in the cylinder body 5.

[0043] The rotating shaft 14 is a solid shaft. The upper end of the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the spray head base 19 in the spray head 16. The horizontal position of the connection between the upper end of the rotating shaft 14 and the spray head base 19 in the spray head 16 is higher than the horizontal position of the first outlet 4. The lower end of the rotating shaft 14 extends out of the cylinder body 5 and is connected to the deceleration motor 11 through the coupling 9. The mechanical seal 8 is disposed at the connection between the rotating shaft 14 and the cylinder body 5. The second bearing 12 and the second bearing seat 13 are disposed at the connection between the rotating shaft 14 and the machine frame 10.

[0044] The first electrode pieces 15 and the second electrode pieces 3 are disposed oppositely. The first electrode pieces 15 are closely attached to an inner wall of the cylinder body 5. The three sections of the first electrode pieces 15 are connected by wires. The first electrode pieces 15 are connected to a power supply through the first wire connector 151 disposed on an outer wall of the cylinder body 5. A certain gap exists between the two sections of the second electrode pieces 3 and the outer walls of the material conveying shaft 2 and the rotating shaft 14 respectively. The two sections of the second electrode pieces 3 are connected by a wire. The two sections of the second electrode pieces 3 are fixed to an end cover of the cylinder body 5 and a clamping groove of a base of the cylinder body 5 respectively. The second electrode piece 3 located on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14 is connected to the power supply through the second wire connector 301 disposed on an outer side of the rotating shaft 14. The first electrode pieces 15 and the second electrode pieces 3 are connected to two poles of a DC stabilized power supply respectively.

[0045] Material of the cylinder body 5, the material conveying shaft 2, and the rotating shaft 14 are insulating material, so as to prevent disturbance to an electrostatic field generated by the first electrode pieces 15 and the second electrode pieces 3, thereby avoiding influencing the classification of the ultrafine powder.

[0046] An inner diameter of the spray hole 191 ranges from 1 mm to 2 mm.

[0047] A rotation speed of the deceleration motor 11 ranges from 30 r/min to 90 r/min.

[0048] Although the disclosure 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 equivalently replace some of the technical features. Within the spirit and principle of the disclosure, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, and the like should be included in the protection scope of the disclosure.

[0049] Working Principle of the Disclosure:

[0050] The deceleration motor 11 rotates to drive the rotating shaft 14, the material conveying shaft 2, and the spray head 16 to rotate. At the same time, the material that is uniformly mixed rotationally flows downward into the spray head 16 along the spiral track 201 from the material conveying shaft 2 through the rotating joint 1. The material is subjected to a vertical downward pressure due to the rotation of the material conveying shaft 2 and the internal spiral track 201. The material is sprayed out from the spray hole 191 under the action of the pressure and then enters the cylinder body 5. When sprayed out from the spray hole 191 into the cylinder body 5, the material has a certain circumferential and radial movement speed. Since a single particle is low in weight, the influence on a gravity field in a vertical direction is small. Particles are mainly influenced by an electrostatic field force and a fluid drag force. Under the action of the electrostatic field between the first electrode pieces 15 and the second electrode pieces 3, due to more charges, large electric field force and higher radial movement speed, coarse particles will first reach the inner wall of the cylinder body 5, settle along the inner wall of the cylinder body 5 corresponding to the uppermost cone part, and then are discharged from the first outlet 4 for collection. Medium-sized particles then reach the inner wall of the cylinder body 5. Since the medium-sized particles reach the inner wall of the cylinder body 5 later than the coarse particles, the medium-sized particles will drop a bit longer than the coarse particles in the vertical direction, so that the medium-sized particles will settle along the inner wall of the cylinder body 5 corresponding to the intermediate cone part and then are discharged from the second outlet 6 for collection. Since fine particles reach the inner wall of the cylinder body 5 later than the medium-sized particles, the fine particles will drop a bit longer than the medium-sized particles in the vertical direction, so that the fine particles will settle along the inner wall of the cylinder body 5 corresponding to the lowermost cone part and then are discharged from the third outlet 7 at the bottom of the cylinder body 5 for collection, thereby achieving multi-stage particle classification of ultrafine powder.

[0051] The design point of the disclosure is that a radial movement speed is provided for particles based on a rotating flow field, the surface charging characteristics of ultrafine particles are utilized, when the surface Zeta potential of the particles is the same, coarse particles have more charges and fine particles have less charges, electrode pieces are disposed on the inner wall of the cylinder body 5 and the outer side of the material conveying shaft 14 and the rotating shaft 2 to generate an electrostatic field in a radial direction, so that the particles are subjected to an electric field force directed to the circumferential wall of the cylinder body 5, thereby increasing the movement speed difference of particles of different particle sizes, and effectively improving the classification efficiency of the ultrafine powder.
