DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(9) A rake-free thickening device including a driving area is provided. The thickening device includes a feed assembly, a horizontal support rod and a clean coal collection area. The clean coal collection assembly includes a driving area, a bubbles deforming area and a diversion and settlement area. The guide assembly 2 includes a central groove body 21 with a cylindrical part at the upper end and a funnel part at the lower end. The central groove body 21 is made of a cavity structure. The feed assembly is arranged above the cavity of the central groove body 21. The lower end of the central groove body 21 is provided with a first discharge port 24. The coarse slime gradually sinks to the top of the first discharge port 24 of the central tank body 21 and deposits to a certain amount, and is discharged through the first discharge port 24. The collected materials discharged from the first discharge port 24 can be used for blending of medium coal or as building materials to increase economic income.

(10) The materials and medicaments flow from the upper part of the central tank 21 to the middle of the central tank 21, as is shown in FIG. 1, the direction a. The materials and medicaments then diffuse outward from the middle in a direction b, and then enter into the funnel part of the central tank 21. After the reaction, coarse slime flows out from the first discharge port 24, and the diversion component causes the floating foam with fine slime to move upward, and then enters the driving zone to guide the foam to the bubbles deforming zone d. The defoamed slime water overflows the central tank body 21 in the direction of e to the diversion settlement area provided on the outer side wall of the central tank body, thereby separating the water and the settled clean slime. Specifically, the foam with fine coal slime can go up along the inner side wall of the central tank body 21 and then pass through the driving zone to enter the defoaming zone, or directly enter the defoaming zone through the middle of the central tank body 21.

(11) The components are described in detail below.

(12) 1. Feed Assembly

(13) As shown in FIGS. 2-3, the feed assembly 1 includes a main feeding pipe 11, a horizontal support rod 26 and a medicament ejection pipe 13.

(14) One end of the main feed pipe 11 is fed with slime water, and the other end is used as the output end of the feed assembly. The middle of the main feed pipe 11 includes a reducing section 12. In this scheme, the reducing section 12 is composed of a round ball and a round tube, forming a gourd-like tube with alternating sudden expansion and sudden contraction.

(15) Multiple medicament ejection pipes 13 are evenly distributed at the constriction of the reducing section 12 and communicates with the circular tube at the constriction. Because the flow velocity at the constriction suddenly increases, the junction of the reducing section 12 and the medicament ejection pipes 13 forms a negative pressure, it has a good suction effect on the flocculant in the medicament ejection pipes 13. At the sudden expansion, the pressure increases, the flow rate slows down, the turbulence intensity increases at this moment, and the flocculant and slime water are fully mixed.

(16) The opening degree of the inlet of the medicament ejection pipes 13 can be controlled by a superior valve to control the inhalation of the medicament. The material and the medicament are mixed by the suction effect of the reducing section 12 and the medicament slurry.

(17) 2. Guide Assembly

(18) Referring to FIGS. 2-3, the guide assembly 2 includes ejecting inlet pipe 22 and the dispersion deflector 23. The input end of the ejecting inlet pipe 22 is connected to the outlet end of the feed assembly 1. The dispersion deflector 23 diffuses the slime water output from the ejecting inlet pipe 22 to the surroundings. The materials and medicament are mixed and reacted at the funnel part of the central tank body 21. The coarse coal slime gradually sinks to the deep cone of the central tank body 21 for deposition, and reaches a certain amount of deposition and is discharged through the first discharge port 24. A bubble-inducing plate 25 is also arranged above the outlet of the dispersion deflector 23, and the foam produced after the reaction carries fine coal slime along with the bubble-inducing plate 25 and moves upward from the outer side wall of the central tank body 21 to the clean coal collecting assembly. In this scheme, the diversion component on the one hand discharges the coarse slime from the first discharge port 24, and on the other hand, the fine slime water is moved upwards along the inner side wall in the central tank 21 through the bubble-inducing plate 25. The clean coal collection component separates the fine coal slime from the water. Specifically, the bubble-inducing plate 25 has a spherical structure.

(19) In order to support the feed assembly and the ejecting inlet pipe 22, a horizontal support rod 26 is fixed on the outer side wall of the ejecting inlet pipe 22.

(20) 3. Clean Coal Collection Components

(21) The clean coal collection assembly 3 includes a driving zone located above the bubble-inducing plate 25 in the central tank body 21, multiple defoaming zones, and settling zones corresponding to the multiple defoaming zone. The dispersion deflector 23 in the deflector assembly is located below the defoaming zone. The multiple defoaming zones and the driving zones are annularly arranged on the outer side wall of the ejecting inlet pipe 22.

(22) 3.1 Driving Area

(23) As shown in FIGS. 2-5, in order to drive the foam generated after the reaction to the bubbles deforming zone, the driving area includes a rotating bearing 311, an arc-shaped dial plate 312, a second impact tube 313 and a jet-driven curved plate 314. The defoaming area includes a clean coal collection tank 347, all clean coal collection tanks 347 and the jet-driven curved plate 314 are alternately arranged and connected to form an annular structure. The inner surface of the annular structure is set on the central feed pipe 22 through the rotating bearing 311. The second impact tube 313 is a branch tube separated from the central feed tube 22. The second impact tube 313 drives the curved plate 314 obliquely by impinging jets, such that the annular structure rotates around the central feed pipe 22. The arc-shaped dial plate 312 is circularly provided on the outside of the jet-driven curved plate 314. The other end of the arc-shaped dial plate 312 faces the inner side wall of the central groove body 21. In this way, the foam is transferred to the bubbles deforming area through the arc-shaped dial plate 312.

(24) 3.2 Bubbles Deforming Area

(25) As shown in FIGS. 2-5, the bubbles defoaming zone includes multiple defoamer. The multiple defoamer are arranged in an annular array on the outer side wall of the central feed pipe 22 to improve the defoaming effect.

(26) As shown in FIG. 4, the defoamer includes a hammer unit and a drive unit.

(27) The hammering unit includes a hammering defoaming plate 343, a clean coal collecting tank 347, and a hammering rod 344. One end of the hammer rod 344 is hinged with the outer side wall of the central feed pipe 22, and the other end of the hammer rod 344 is hinged with the hammering defoaming plate 343. The clean coal collecting tank 347 and the jet-driven curved plate 314 form an annular structure and are arranged on the central feed pipe 22 through a rotating bearing 311.

(28) The driving unit includes a first impact tube 341, a grooved roller 342, and a reciprocating spring 346. The central feed tube 22 is divided into a branch as the first impact tube 341. The lower end of the impact tube 341 faces the inner wall of the clean coal collecting tank 347 on the grooved roller 342. The middle part of the hammer rod 344 is connected to the middle part of the two side rods of the bracket 348 through a reciprocating spring 346. The grooved roller 342 is arranged on the hammer rod 344 and is connected by a rotating shaft. The hammering defoaming plate 343 hammers downward. After the hammering rod 344 is impacted, the deflection along the center is less than the compression of the reciprocating spring 346. When the material in the central feed pipe 22 flows from the first impact tube 341 into the grooved roller 342, the grooved roller 342 is rotated at a non-uniform speed. Due to the increase in the mass of the entire drive unit and the hammer unit, the reciprocating spring 346 is in a compressed state. The hammering defoaming plate 343 is compressed into the clean coal collecting tank 347 until there is too much material in the grooved roller 342, which causes the roller to rotate and dump all the materials. The energy accumulated by the reciprocating spring 346 makes the hammering defoaming plate 343 far away from the clean coal collecting tank 347. The cyclic movement realizes a reciprocally beats to the clean coal collecting tank 347 in the clean coal collecting tank 347, thus deforming the bubbles. The slime water thrown out of the first impact tube 341 will also wash the clean coal on the hammering defoaming plate 343, so that the clean coal is discharged from the concentrate discharge port to the clean coal collection tank 347 and collected.

(29) In summary, the unsettled clean coal slime and the mineralized foam regenerated due to residual flotation reagents and clean coal will be converged to the driving area along with the water flow. Then being driven to the defoaming area, and a defoaming in the deforming area, the slime water containing fine slime overflows from the gap in the side wall of the central tank body 21.

(30) 3.3 Diversion and Settlement Area

(31) There are many schemes for the diversion and settlement zone, as described below:

(32) B 3.3 the First Scheme of Diversion Settlement Area

(33) As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the diversion sedimentation zone includes an annular diversion sedimentation screen and a magnetic concentrating shower. The annular diversion sedimentation screen is spirally arranged downward around the central tank 21. The slime water overflowing from the gap of the central tank body 21 reaches the entrance of the annular diversion sedimentation screen. A magnetic concentrating shower is arranged above the overflow port of each defoaming zone.

(34) B3.3.1 Annular Diversion Sedimentation Screen

(35) As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the annular flow-guided sedimentation screen includes an annular groove 371 spirally arranged around the central groove body 21, and second spoiler baffles 3711 are sequentially arranged in the annular groove 371. The second underflow discharge port 3712 is provided on the bottom plate between two adjacent second turbulence partitions 3711, and the second turbulence partition 3711 increases the interference sedimentation effect of the fine coal slime. A second inclined plate diversion discharge pipe 372 is provided below the several second underflow discharge ports 3712, and the outlets of all the second inclined plate diversion discharge pipes 372 converge to the second underflow discharge pipe 373. That is, the settled material is discharged from the second underflow discharge pipe 373, and the settled water passes through the second baffle plate 3711 in the annular groove 371, and then flows from the second overflow discharge pipe 374 arranged at the end of the annular groove 371 and enters the washing process again as circulating water to realize a closed loop.

(36) B3.3.2 Magnetic Concentrating Shower

(37) As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the magnetic concentrating shower 39 includes a second magnetic concentrating ejection tube 361, a second magnetic powder feeding pipe 362, and a second distributor 363. The upper end of the second magnetism collecting and ejecting tube 361 is communicated with the feed distribution tank 11, and the lower end is communicated with the second distributor 363. One end of the second magnetic powder feed pipe 362 is connected to the pipe at the magnetic powder supply, and the other end is connected to the second magnetism collecting ejection pipe 361. The outlet of the lower end of the second distributor 363 is fan-shaped and is separated by a plurality of partitions, so that the magnetism collecting material at the outlet flows down evenly along the side wall of the deflector to realize fine coal accelerated sedimentation of mud. When the slime water passes through the annular diversion sedimentation screen, the magnetic concentrating shower sprays the magnetic seeds to obtain efficient sedimentation.

(38) C3.3 the Second Scheme of Diversion Settlement Area

(39) As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the diversion sedimentation zone includes a tiered diversion sedimentation screen and a magnetic concentrating shower. The tiered diversion sedimentation screen is arranged downwardly along the outer wall of the central tank body 21. In this embodiment, the first diversion sedimentation screen 32 in the defoaming zone extends to the inner side wall of the central tank body 21, and the slime water that has not settled at the first diversion sedimentation screen after defoaming overflows the central tank body 21 to the stratification diversion settling inside the screen. A magnetic concentrating shower is arranged above the overflow port of each defoaming zone.

(40) C3.3.1 Laminar Diversion Sedimentation Screen

(41) As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the laminar diversion sedimentation screen includes multiple third diversion and sedimentation subgroups sequentially arranged downward along the outer wall of the central tank body 21, and each third diversion and sedimentation subgroup includes a sedimentation tank 391. Multiple third spoiler baffles 3911 are alternately arranged in the settling tank 391, and the third spoiler baffles 3911 can be alternately arranged on both sides of the settling tank 391 according to the arrangement of the high board 322 and the low board 323. Among them, the third spoiler baffle 3911 increases the interference sedimentation effect of fine slime.

(42) The bottom plate of the sedimentation tank 391 is provided with a third underflow discharge port, and each sedimentation tank 391 is provided with a third inclined plate guide discharge pipe 392. The third inclined plate guide discharge pipe 392 collects the fine slime discharged from all the third underflow discharge ports in each sedimentation tank 391. All the outlets of the third inclined plate guide discharge pipe 392 are collected into the third underflow discharge pipe 393, and finally, the settled fine slime is discharged from the third underflow discharge pipe 393.

(43) After the unsettled part of the slime water passes through all the third baffle plates 3911 in each third diversion and settlement subgroup, it is output from the connecting pipe 395 to the entrance of the next third diversion and settlement subgroup to the lowest third diversion and sedimentation subgroup. The completely settled water is output from the third overflow discharge pipe 394 at the output end of the bottom third flow sedimentation subgroup, and enters the washing process again as circulating water to achieve closed loop.

(44) C3.3.2 Magnetic Concentrating Shower

(45) Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the magnetic concentrating shower 39 includes a third magnetism-concentrating ejection tube 381, a third magnetic powder feeding pipe 382 and a third distributor 383. The upper end of the third magnetism-concentrating ejection tube 381 also communicates with the feed distribution tank 11, and the lower end communicates with the third distributor 383. One end of the third magnetic powder feed pipe 382 is communicated with the pipe at the magnetic powder supply, and the other end is communicated with the third magnetism-concentrating ejection tube 381. The outlet at the lower end of the device 383 is fan-shaped, and is separated by multiple baffles, so that the magnetizing materials at the outlet flow down evenly along the side wall of the deflector to realize the accelerated settlement of the fine slime. When the slime water passes through the stratified diversion settling screen, the magnetic concentrating shower sprays the magnetic seeds to obtain high-efficiency settlement. Then, the fine slime is fully settled in this process and separated from the water more thoroughly. In order to achieve a better sedimentation effect, in this solution, magnetic concentrating showers are respectively arranged at the input ends of the multiple third diversion sedimentation subgroups.

(46) As shown in FIG. 10, the structures of the first distributor 353, the second distributor 363, and the third distributor 383 are all the same. The use of a multi-channel distributor makes the distributor more uniform and does not require rake stirring during the working process, thoroughly solving the “harrowing” phenomenon and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the thickener.

(47) To sum up, in the clean coal collection assembly, the structure of the central collection area 31, the foam suppression area, and the two diversion and settlement areas are arbitrarily combined to form different technical solutions.

(48) The above are only the preferred embodiments created by the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the creation of the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure should be included in the disclosure.
