Description
Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separator
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of magnetic separation and
specifically relates to a
wet high intensity magnetic separator.
Background Technology
With the continuous progress of social modernization, the quantity demanded
for all kinds of metal
materials is also increasing, so the mineral resources are constantly being
mined and the quality of
mineral resources is decreasing. In order to use mineral resources more
efficiently, mineral
processing, especially fine mineral processing has become an inevitable trend.
In the field of mineral processing, magnetic separation has been a very
important method of
mineral processing. Especially in the separation of magnetic minerals,
magnetic separation is the
first choice in the industry for its advantages of stability, environmental
protection, low cost and
easy operation. In the resources containing magnetic minerals, compared to the
natural high pure
magnetic minerals which can be used directly without selection and the high
grade magnetic
minerals easy to select, the separation of most of the other weakly magnetic
minerals, especially
low-grade and weakly magnetic minerals, and strong, weakly symbiotic magnetic
minerals, and
non-metallic minerals that regard magnetic minerals as impurities is
relatively complex. With the
increase of the amount of mining in modern mines year by year, the total
amount of resources of
the natural high pure magnetic minerals which can be used directly and the
high grade magnetic
minerals easy to separate have been reduced, and the tailings after selecting
and also containing
available resources is increasing (this refers to magnetically available
resources). Therefore, the
separation of these other magnetic minerals and the available resources in
tailings has been highly
valued in the mineral processing enterprises.
In the separating process of these minerals, the core equipment must be a
magnetic separator
with strong magnetic trapping ability. Because of the wide variety and complex
and diverse forms
of these minerals, a strong magnetic separator with strong adaptability and
adjusting ability is
urgently needed. And because the sorting of these minerals is more complicated
and complex in
process and separating equipment, and there is strong correlation among all
processes in the
whole process, so the sorting index and safety and stability of the equipment
are also crucial.

the magnetic field passing through the middle shaft bearing 531 and the ring
drive motor 550 and
the reducer 560, thereby extending the service life of the middle shaft
bearing 531 and the ring
drive motor 550 and the reducer 560. The front-end of the ring drive motor 550
and the pulsating
motor 1230 and the pump 320 are equipped with motor protector 16, when the
detection of
hyper-flow or lack of phase it can timely protect and alarm.

high or the temperature difference is too large, it will send out the fault
alarm; The coil coolant inlet
pipeline 310 is provided with flow switch 18, monitoring the flow state of the
insulating coolant 230
and sending out the fault alarm when the flow is not up to the set
requirement.

the wet high intensity
magnetic separator coil 2. The excitation of the wet high intensity magnetic
separator is adopted

set unit 2011, and then
through constant current controller 2010, controlling SCR (or diode-coupled
IGBT) rectifier module
20 converts industrial electricity into a preset dc input into coil 2, in the
process of inputting the
current into the coil 2 the hall element or other similar function element 21
is provided to monitor
the current and feedback to constant current controller. Then the output
voltage is adjusted by the
constant current controller 2010 to match the detection value and the preset
value, thus ensuring
that the current of the wet high intensity magnetic separator input coil 2 is
in accordance with the
preset current of the current setting unit 2011.
The rotate speed of the ring 4 and the pulsation frequency of the pulsating
box 1210 of the wet
high intensity magnetic separator are realized by changing the output
frequency of relay ring
converter 22 and pulse frequency converter 23 in adjustment system
respectively.
The pulsating amplitude of the wet high intensity magnetic separator is
achieved by adjusting the
eccentricity of the eccentric wheel module 1211 in the pulsating box. The
liquid level height in the
liquid level observation hopper 13 is monitored by the manual or liquid level
meter 24 , and then
achieved manually or automatically by adjusting the open degree of one or more

The invention provides a wet high intensity magnetic separator, which
comprises a magnetic
excitation system, a sorting collection system, a safety and isolation system
and a adjustment
system. The magnetic excitation system is used to provide a background
magnetic field for wet
high intensity magnetic separator to sort; the sorting collection system, with
the background
magnetic field provided by the magnetic excitation system, makes the magnetic
material in the
pulp containing magnetic minerals separated from the non-magnetic material by
magnetic
separation and collected to the different collecting regions respectively; the
safety and isolation
system is used to isolate the particle from the wet high intensity magnetic
separator, to isolate the
impurities in the water, to isolate pollution from the insulating coolant, to
isolate the magnetic field
from the fear magnetic components (such as a bearing, a motor, a reducer,
etc.) and to provide
safety protection for important components (such as motors, coils, matrix box
modules, etc.) and
personal safety protection for operators; and the adjustment system is used
for adjusting the
background magnetic field intensity of the magnetic excitation system, and the
ring rotation speed
(equivalent to the sorting time of the material)of the sorting collection
system, the regulation of
pulsation amplitude and frequency (equivalent to the vibration intensity and
frequency of the
ore-selected pulp), the adjustment of the height of the liquid level (the
correlation division length)
and the adjustment of quantity/angle of the rinsing water and the discharge
water. The invention
has modular design to some parts which affect the sorting index and can
replace the
corresponding module according to the different material and working
conditions, thus achieving
the ideal beneficiation index.
The slower the rotary speed, the longer the sorting time of the material, the
smaller the processing
volume, when the ring speed is very slow the sorting effect is not obvious;
the pulsation amplitude
and frequency are positively correlated with the oscillation intensity and
frequency of the selected
pulp respectively, and the level of liquid level is positively correlated with
the length of the sorting
14
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

part, and when the liquid level to small the sorting effect is obviously
decreased, a calibration liquid
level is generally set; the automatic monitoring device designed in the
invention is mainly to
monitor the liquid level, in which manual or automatic adjustment can be used
to monitor the liquid
level.
In the present invention, whether for weakly magnetic minerals or for non-
metallic minerals which
considers magnetic minerals as impurities, the purpose of the separation is to
separate the
magnetic particles from the non-magnetic particles or particles with
insufficient purity, and if the
magnetic particles are to be separated from the original mixed minerals, a
strong enough magnetic
trapping force must be provided.
The magnetic trapping force of magnetic particles is mainly determined by the
average specific
coefficient of magnetic particles, the intensity of separation magnetic field
and the gradient. The
average specific magnetic coefficient of magnetic impurity particles in weakly
magnetic and
nonmetallic ores is relatively low. If you want to be able to generate enough
magnetic trapping
force in such a case, we should start with improving the intensity and
gradient of the separation
field.
The wet high intensity magnetic separator, based on the long-term research
results of the
magnetic separation technology, uses the principle of inductive magnetization
to realize the
coordinated application of the magnetic field intensity and gradient, that is,
the magnetic soft
magnetic material in the background magnetic field will be magnetized,
magnetized soft magnetic
material will affect the direction of magnetic field lines in the background,
a small range of induction
magnetization sites are formed on the near surface, and different magnetic
fields will be formed by
various materials and soft magnetic materials of different shapes. Soft
magnetic material with a
conductivity magnetic field and a tip (a variety of points, also including a
round bar form) in the
background magnetic field will be at the tip of a higher magnetic field than
the background
magnetic intensity, gradient magnetization field, the invention is based on
this magnetized field to
strongly capture the weak magnetic particles and the magnetic impurities in
the non-metallic
mineral particles in the material.
When the magnetic excitation system involved in the wet high intensity in the
invention works, it
will produce a background magnetic field area that can magnetization the soft
magnetic material,
here defines this area as a sorting area. Further, the magnetic excitation
system comprises of a
magnetic yoke, coil and heat exchanger, the coil generates a magnetic field
when it is energized,
and the magnetic field creates a semi-closed arc-shaped magnetic field region
in the coil and the
center of the magnetic yoke when it is converged and strengthened by the
magnetic yoke, the
magnetic field intensity of the field is changed with the input current of the
excitation coil, which is
the background magnetic field, and the region is the sorting region.
In order to introduce and discharge the pulp into the separation area, a
certain number of the flow
clearance can be set in the upper pole iron core and the lower magnetic pole
iron core which can
guide the ore pulp. As in the separation process some of the ore dressing
plants will add some
chemical agents to the pulp, so its separation slurry has different degrees of
corrosion, and these
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

corrosive pulp flow through the magnetic pole of the gap between the iron core
will cause
corrosion. lithe pole core is subjected to long-term corrosion, it will change
its original thickness,
thereby reducing the magnetic conductivity, resulting in weakening and
changing the background
field strength and magnetic field distribution of the wet high intensity
magnetic separator, and
ultimately affecting the stability of the sorting index; If the welding site
is seriously corroded for a
long time, it will affect its structural strength and service life. Even if it
is a pulp that does not
contain corrosive agents, the water contained in the long-term immersion will
also make the
magnetic pole iron core rust, although this part of the rust almost does not
affect the device's
magnetic properties and structural strength, but to the non-metallic minerals
with very low iron
content considering the magnetic material as impurities is particularly
important.
In order to solve the corrosive effect on the performance index and service
life, the upper pole iron
core and the lower magnetic pole iron core of the magnetic yoke part are
modular designed, and
according to the required level of protection for three different levels of
treatment: the first grade is
no special treatment, applicable to the general non-corrosive separation
process; and the second
grade is to spray water resistant and abrasion resistant coating on the
contact surface of the
magnetic pole iron core and the pulp, suitable for a slightly corrosive or non-
metallic mineral
separation process; and the third grade is to increase the replaceable
sacrificial anode on the
basis of the second grade, suitable for the separation process of pulp with
strong corrosive and
especially corrosive ions, because the sacrificial anode can be replaced at
any time, so this grade
has a stronger anti-corrosion capacity.
In addition, if the concentration of strong magnetic minerals in the
separation pulp is too high, the
strong magnetic minerals flowing into the magnetic poles can easily be
adsorbed in the sharp
corner of the upper magnetic pole iron core module, it will occur on the pole
iron core flow
clearance blockage phenomenon in the long run. In view of this special
condition, comparing with
the lower magnetic pole iron core module, the upper magnetic pole iron core
module is used to do
the acute angle roundness treatment and add nonmagnetic stainless steel
magnetic separation
processing around the flow clearance. This configuration can greatly weaken
the negative effect
caused by the tip induction magnetic field of the upper pole iron core flow
clearance and prevent
the flow clearance of the upper pole iron core from clogging up.
The coil in the wet high intensity magnetic separator of the invention is the
core part of the
background magnetic field source, the coil can produce the background magnetic
field onliy when
it is energized, so the working stability of the coil directly determines the
stability of the background
magnetic field, future determines the stability of the sorting index. In order
to obtain a stable
excitation environment, the wet high intensity magnetic separator coil part of
the invention adopts
the forced insulating coolant circulating cooling mode. The coil windings are
placed in the shell,
and an insulating bar is used to pad the insulation coolant flow passage in
the inner coil winding
and between the coil winding and the shell to ensure the coil insulation and
the heat generated by
the coil winding excitation will be taken away when the insulation coolant
flow through the passage.
However, because the main body of the invention is a magnetic separator, it is
necessary to
16
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

combine the structure characteristics of wet high intensity magnetic separator
with the need of the
magnetic circuit in the process of making the coil; and since the coils are
just a part of the wet high
intensity magnetic separator, so the structure of the coils must be compact.
According to the need
of the magnetic field, the inner enclosure of the coil shell is made of non-
magnetic stainless-steel
material to prevent the magnetic field from being shorted out, while the upper
magnetic conductive
plate, the lower magnetic conductive plate and the outer enclosing plate are
manufactured by high
magnetic steel plate, which has the function of reducing the flux leakage and
the converging
magnetic field.
The coolant inlet is arranged at the lower part of the end of the coil length
direction, and the
.. corresponding coolant outlet is arranged at the upper part of the other end
which is far away from
the inlet. At the coolant inlet and outlet inside the coil shell there
provides the distributary cavity
and the conflux cavity respectively, it may cause the coolant flow more even
and the stability inside
the coil, avoids the generation of the flow dead angle, and guarantees the
coil winding heat
dissipation stability simultaneously also prevents the coolant from flushing
the coil winding for long
time that causes the winding damage. As the total amount of coolant required
in the coil and inside
the heat exchanger system is very large, so many liquids are routinely
injected with a liquid
injection pump. The drain valve of the coolant is arranged between the pump
and the coolant outlet
of the coil, and the outlet is arranged at the lowest point of the heat
exchanger device. This valve
can be used both in removing the insulation coolant that in the coil and the
heat exchanger and
can cooperate with the pump to inject the insulation coolant to the coil and
the heat exchanger.
Secondly, the sorting collection system can create a high strength inductive
magnetic field in the
division made by the magnetic excitation system of the wet high intensity
magnetic separator, and
use this induction magnetic field to capture the magnetic particles, then take
the magnetic particles
captured out of the division, and use the discharging water flushing the
particles into the magnetic
.. material collecting hopper, while the non-magnetic part is not captured, it
can flow through this
induction magnetic field freely, then enter into the non-magnetic material
collecting hopper, that is,
the separation process between magnetic material and non-magnetic material is
completed.
Sorting collection system comprises a ring, a ring drive part, a feeding
hopper, a flushing hopper, a
discharging water tank, a magnetic material collecting hopper, a non-magnetic
material collecting
hopper, a middling hopper, a pulsation mechanism, and a liquid level
observation hopper. A large
number of matrix boxes made of high conductivity magnetic soft magnetic
materials are carried in
the ring, and a ring structure is designed which can be fed into and out of
the sorting area
continuously. The sorting collection system also designs the ore feeding,
discharging mechanism
and magnetic material, non-magnetic material, middling collection mechanism,
and pulsation,
water washing mechanism helpful to improve the separation index, and the
observation
mechanism of separating liquid level which is necessary for sorting.
When the matrix box enters into the separation zone with the ring, the high
magnetic medium
made of by the high conductivity magnetic soft magnetic material is
magnetized, and forms a high
field strength, high gradient magnetization site at the tip, at this time the
material to be selected
17
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

enters into the wet high intensity magnetic separator from the feeding hopper,
then flow into the
ring through the flow clearance of the upper pole iron core. When the material
flows through the
ring it must go through this magnetic field area, at this time magnetic
material particles are
captured under the role of magnetic absorption, non-magnetic material
particles are free from the
.. role of magnetic force and flow through this magnetic field area into the
non-magnetic material
collecting hopper. The captured magnetic material rotates out of the
separation area with the ring,
after leaving the separation area, the magnetic medium's induced magnetic
field disappears, and
the magnetic trapping force disappears. When go to the top of the magnetic
material collecting
hopper, the captured material particles begin to fall and are collected by the
magnetic material
collecting hopper, and the material particles that fail to fall in time will
be discharged into the
magnetic material collecting hopper when transferred to the bottom of the
discharging water tank,
then the matrix box becomes clean again and then enters into sorting area with
the ring, and that
completes a sorting process.
The ring in the wet high intensity magnetic separator of the invention is the
core component of the
sorting collection system, and the matrix box is the most important part of
the ring. Because the
material is of many kinds and various forms, even the same type of mineral
generally, there may
be different differences such as different degrees of dissociation and
different magnetic particle
inlay size. In order to better adapt to the separation of these materials, the
matrix box of the wet
high intensity magnetic separator is modular designed, by changing the form
and arrangement of
.. soft magnetic material in the matrix box to make wet high intensity
magnetic separator has
stronger adaptability.
According to the different particle size of the site condition, the magnetic
content of materials and
the distribution of magnetic particle size, the matrix box module is divided
into many forms.
Selecting from the materials or forms, the high magnetic medium includes both
rod and mesh
media, as well as steel wool or any other form of magnetic material which can
be placed on the
ring and can produce induction magnetic field when using in the wet high
intensity magnetic
separator; Classified by the arrangement, the high magnetic medium includes
both tight
arrangement and loose arrangement, both uniform arrangement of the media gap
and matrix gap
gradient increasing or decreasing arrangement, both a single form of magnetic
conductionmatrix
arrangement and a variety of forms of magnetic conduction matrix blending
arrangement.
In the concrete application of the wet high intensity magnetic separator of
the invention, for the
pulp with corrosive material, the matrix box module is divided into three anti-
corrosion grades: the
first grade is the use of anti-corrosion material in the highly conductive
magnetic medium, which is
suitable for the general non-corrosive separation process; the second grade
provides overall
coating treatment of the matrix box module on the basis of first level, which
is suitable for the
separation process with slight corrosive working condition; the third grade
increases the sacrificial
anode corrosion on the basis of the second grade, which is suitable for the
separation process with
moderate and severe corrosion, especially the corrosive ionic working
condition. According to
different working conditions different matrix box modules are equipped with
the wet high intensity
18
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

magnetic separator, thereby enhancing the adaptive capacity of the wet high
intensity magnetic
separator and getting better and more stable sorting indicators.
In the production field, magnetic particles captured by magnetic media rotate
out of the separation
area with the ring, and the magnetic media induced magnetic field disappears
after leaving the
separation area, and the magnetism trapping force disappears. All the magnetic
particles in the
matrix box module should be flush into the magnetic material collecting hopper
when the ring
roates to the bottom of the discharging water tank, however, due to the
diversity and complexity of
the field conditions, the phenomenon of inadequate ore discharging is often
occurred, and the
inadequate ore discharging of the matrix box module will undoubtedly affect
the sorting effect after
the next step if it enters into the sorting area again. In order to discharge
the mine better, the
discharging water spray module is designed in the discharging water tank in
the wet high intensity
magnetic separator. By replacing this module, it is easy and quick to change
the size of the
blowhole (change the quantity of the water spray under the condition that the
discharging pressure
is not changed), the shape of the water spray (such as columnar, curtain,
fan), form (continuous,
pulse, parallel, cross) and a certain range of water spray position and spray
angle (with the
arrangement of the magnetic media in the matrix box module). Combined with the
working
condition field and the device parameters of the wet high intensity magnetic
separator and the type
of the matrix box module, then the better discharging effect can be achieved
by changing the water
spray module.
The pulsating push plate in the pulsation mechanism of the sorting collection
system is connected
with the right collection interval of the non-magnetic material collecting
hopper through the rubber
soft connection. The function of pulsating mechanism is to produce
reciprocating pulsating
vibration force and pass this pulsating vibration force to the pulp in the
magnetic material collecting
hopper.This pulsating shock force will extend along the pulp to the sorting
area, so that the pulp in
the induction magnetization field in the sorting area also has pulsating
oscillation, which can help
to reduce the inclusions caused by the adsorption and capture of magnetic
material particles under
the action of magnetic force and improve the purity of the selected magnetic
particle materials.
The safety and isolation system are the core component of the wet high
intensity magnetic
separator of the invention, which can guarantee the operation stability of the
device. As the feeding
.. of the wet high intensity magnetic separator generally is milled out
material, this part of the material
will inevitably be mixed with a number of large-grained materials or sundries,
and these
large-grained materials or debris in the feeding link blockage in any position
will have a serious
impact on the sorting index, so the invention provides the large particle
isolation mechanism in the
feeding process, which can prevent large particles of material plugging the
upper pole iron core
.. flow clearance or matrix box module of the wet high intensity magnetic
separator, thus reducing the
interference of the separation process, improving the sorting stability of the
device.
Because of the large amount of discharge water required to discharge ore, the
industrial circulating
water is usually used as discharging water in the production of the plant. In
industrial circulating
water, it is unavoidable that it contains large particles, especially
lightweight floats, which fail to
19
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

settle in time, may clog the blowhole in the discharging water tank. If a
blowhole is blocked, it will
directly lead to the matrix box which should be cleaned under the blowhole
cannot be well
discharged, when the matrix box enters into the sorting area again it will not
be able to complete
the separation of the normal work. In the past encountered such cases, it can
only be allowed to,
or turn down to clean the discharging water tank blowhole. Since the whole
process of separation
processes are highly correlated, and the wet high intensity magnetic separator
is the core device of
the whole process, so shutting down the wet high intensity separator must shut
down the entire
production line associated with all devices. The shutdown of these devices
will have a great impact
on production, while laissez-faire will also affect the separation of
indicators, reduce the recycling
utilization of resources, resulting in a huge waste of resources.
In order to solve this problem, before the entrance of discharging water there
provides the slag box
of discharging water of the wet high intensity magnetic separator, and the
bottom of the slag box is
provided with manual or automatic slag discharging valve which can
conveniently remove the
isolated impurities in time, thus ensure that the discharging water blowhole
does not occur
clogging phenomenon, reduce the effect of the separation index due to the
inadequate discharging
of the mine, and improve the stability of the sorting effect of the wet high
intensity magnetic
separator.
The coil is an important core component of the wet high intensity magnetic
separator. The coil
must be in a state of power to generate magnetic field, so that making the wet
high intensity
magnetic separator with magnetic power, and powering on the coil will lead to
heat generated in
the coil windings, if this part of the heat is not being transferred out in
time, it will burn the coil.
The wet high intensity magnetic separator cools the coil windings by closed
loop of the insulating
coolant liquid. The insulating coolant flows through the inside of the coil
and is fully thermally
exchanged with the coil windings, then the heat is brought to the outside of
the coil and the heat
exchange with the outside occurs at the heat exchanger, the heat generated by
the coil winding is
transfered to the cooling water or air, after cooling in the heat exchanger
the insulation coolant
flows into the coil inside again, forming the closed-circuit cycle. The
insulation coolant is not
directly contact with the outside world in the entire process, it will not
bring the external impurities
into the coil inside and it will not produce the phenomenon that often occurs
in water cooling coil
due to the scale and the impact of the coil heat rediation, ensuring that the
internal cleaning of the
coil system without interference, so that the coil can stable work.
In order to ensure the stability, safety and reliability of the coil, the
temperature probe is provided
on the coil coolant inlet pipeline and near the coolant outlet and at the top
of the insulation coolant,
real-time monitoring the temperature and temperature difference of the
insulation coolant in coil
inlet and outlet, when the temperature is too high or the temperature
difference is too large, it will
send out the fault alarm; The coil coolant inlet pipeline is provided with
flow switch, monitoring the
flow state of the insulating coolant and sending out the fault alarm when the
flow is not up to the
set requirement. When the above fault parameter reaches a preset high value,
the wet high
intensity magnetic separator will stop excitation automatically and enter into
the self-protection
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

mode and send out the alarm signal, thus ensuring the coil portion of the wet
high intensity
magnetic separator is not damaged. When the alarm is issued, the point of
failure and the cause of
the failure can be identified, and the cause of the failure is found and
resolved in time without any
significant impact on the production, thus ensuring the stability of the
operation of the device.
Further, as a strong magnetic separator, the inside of the device and around
the magnetic yoke are
filled with magnetic fields. The bearing that supports the rotating ring
operation is prone to electric
corrosion in the magnetic field, it is also easy to cause the phenomenon of
small magnetic particles
entering into the bearing, these conditions will shorten the life of the
bearing; the magnetic field
has more serious impact on the reducer whose internal gear main material is
the magnetic
conductive steel and motor containing rotor inside, it will increase the load
of the reducer invisibly,
reducing the working stability of the speed reducer and the motor.
In the invention, the magnetic flux is designed in accordance with the
divergence direction of the
magnetic field line, the magnetic line of force diverges outward with the coil
as an energized
solenoid and forms a magnetic line of force closed circuit and the magnet yoke
is designed
according to the direction of divergence of the magnetic line of force. Set
the magnetic material in
this direction can shield most of the magnetic field inside the magnetic
material.
Usually, due to the structure formed by the combination of the ring web,
middle shaft, middle shaft
bearing housing, gear group, reducer, motor is basically consistent with the
closed direction of the
magnetic line of force, so in any case the combination of the web, middle
shaft, middle shaft
bearing housing, gear group, reducer, motor will become a closed magnetic
circuit. Without any
treatment, there will be a large number of magnetic lines of force passing
through the bearing,
reducer, motor, reducing its working stability. To solve this problem, the
invention adopts cutting
isolation method, that is, by increasing the air gap on this closed circuit
and reducing the contact
area (all in order to increase the reluctance of the magnetic circuit), the
magnetic flux flowing
through the closed circuit can be reduced, thus reducing the effect of
bearing, reducer and motor
on the magneitc field force, extending the overall service life of the wet
high intensity magnetic
separator.
The wet high intensity magnetic separator also sets the motor protector for
all motors, protects and
emits alarms in time of lack of phase or overload, prevents the motor from
being damaged, and
sets up a shield for the running parts to ensure the safety of the operator.
In order to observe the
operation of the device, the observation window has been set up and a
protective net has been set
up on the observation window to prevent the operator from accidentally
contacting the running
parts to be harmed.
The adjustment system in the wet high intensity magnetic separator of the
invention is used to
adjust the working parameters, thereby improving the adaptability of the wet
high intensity
magnetic separator and getting better sorting index.
The separation field strength is the power source of the magnetic induction
magnetic field, the size
of the separation field strength is directly reflected in the sorting index,
so the stability of the
separation field strength is the most important index of working stability of
the wet high intensity
21
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

magnetic separator. The size of the separation field strength is achieved by
changing the excitation
current of the wet high intensity magnetic separator, the excitation coil of
the wet high intensity
magnetic separator is powered by DC, so the excitation current must be
constant DC. Coil
windings in the process of electricity will produce heat, resulting in coil
temperature rise, with the
temperature rise of the changes the winding resistance value will also change.
The input voltage at
the plant site may not be very stable, and small changes will occur at any
time. In order to realize
the excitation current does not fluctuate with the external fluctuation and
ensure the stability of the
separation magnetic field, the excitation current of the wet high intensity
magnetic separator coil is
regulated through inputting preseted current in the current set unit, and then
through constant
current controller, controlling SCR (or diode-coupled IGBT) rectifier module
converts industrial
electricity into a preset dc input into coil, in the process of inputting the
current into the coil the hall
element or other similar function element is provided to monitor the current
and feedback to
constant current controller. Then the output voltage is adjusted by the
constant current controller to
match the detection value and the preset value, thus ensuring that the current
of the wet high
intensity magnetic separator input coil is in accordance with the preset
current of the current
setting unit.
According to the nature and quantity of the different feed materials, and the
requirements of the
sorting index that are hopeful to realize, we need to adjust the separation
field strength, and adjust
the ring speed and pulsation frequency and pulsating amplitude accordingly. In
order to adjust the
ring speed and pulsation frequency of the wet high intensity magnetic
separator, the wet high
intensity separator has set up the ring frequency converter and the pulsating
frequency changer
respectively in its front end and can realize the corresponding adjustment to
the ring speed and
pulsation frequency by adjusting the output frequency of the ring frequency
converter and the
pulsating frequency converter. In order to adjust the pulsating amplitude of
the wet high intensity
magnetic separator, the eccentric wheel in the pulsating box is modular
designed, which can be
adjusted by changing the eccentric wheel module to realize the pulsating
amplitude.
In addition, the sorting area of the wet high intensity magnetic separator of
the invention needs to
be immersed under the sorting liquid level in the sorting work. This is
because the material under
the sorting liquid level is looser, it is easier to realize the separation of
magnetic granular materials
and non-magnetic granular materials. At the same time, only the sorting area
immersed under the
sorting liquid level, the pulse power of the pulse box will be extended with
the pulp, so that the pulp
in the region of the induction magnetizing field also produces pulsating
vibration, the inclusion
phenomenon resulting from the adsorption and capture of magnetic particle
material under the
action of magnetic force is reduced, and the purity of the selected magnetic
particle material is
improved.
In order to observe the height of the liquid surface in time and provide the
basis for the regulation
of the sorting liquid surface, the wet high intensity magnetic separator of
the invention designed a
liquid level observation hopper communicated with the non-magnetic material
collecting hopper,
and the liquid level in the hopper can be monitored by manual or liquid level
meter. When the
22
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

height of liquid level in the hopper is found to be changed, the opening of
one or more
non-magnetic material discharging valves can be manually or automatically
adjusted at the bottom
of the non-magnetic material collecting hopper to ensure that the liquid level
is stable near the
design height.
In order to obtain more pure magnetic materials, a rinsing process is set up
before the magnetic
material captured by the magnetic medium leaves the division selection. The
source of the rinsing
water is the same as the discharging water, and it is industrial circulating
water. By adjusting the
flushing water, it can selectively flush the trapped mineral and the impure
mineral in the captured
magnetic material from the matrix box module to allow it to enter the non-
magnetic material
collecting hopper, so as to obtain more pure magnetic materials.
In order to make the matrix box module clean without affecting the next period
of the separation, it
is very important to the ore-discharging of the discharging water tank.
Further, in order to discharge
the mine better, the discharging spray water module is designed in the
discharging water tank in
the wet high intensity magnetic separator. By replacing this module, it is
easy and quick to change
the size of the blowhole (change the quantity of the water spray under the
condition that the
discharging pressure is not changed), the shape of the water spray, form and a
certain range of
water spray position and spray angle. Combined with the working condition
field and the device
parameters of the wet high intensity magnetic separator and the type of the
matrix box module,
then the better discharging effect can be achieved by changing the water spray
module.

and comprises pipeline
310, pump 320 and heat exchanger 330. Wherein, the inlet of the pump 320 is
connected with the
coolant outlet 216 of the coil 2 by the pipeline 310, and the outlet of the
pump 320 is connected
with the heat exchanger 330, while the other end of the heat exchanger 330 is
connected with the
coolant inlet 215 of the coil. According to different conditions of the field,

exchange device 3.
The ring 4 is located directly above the lower magnetic pole core module 152.
The ring 4
comprises a ring frame 410 and a matrix box module 420. The ring frame 410
comprises hub 411,
web 412, support ring 413, skeleton 414. Due to the need of magnetic field
design (for avoiding
magnetic short-circuit phenomenon), the support ring 413 and skeleton 414 are
made of
24
CA 3015206 2018-09-13

non-magnetic stainless steel, skeleton 414 and support ring 413 isolates a
number of small space
on the ring frame 410 which can fix the matrix box module 420. The ring frame
410 is connected
with the ring drive parts 5 through the web 412 and hub 411, and the small
space used for fixing
the matrix box module will enter and leave the sorting space in turn by the
driving of the ring drive
parts 5.
The matrix box module 420 is installed between two skeletons 414 which are
circumferential
adjacent, in addition to that small wet high intensity magnetic separator is
arranged with a single
row of matrix box module 420, the matrix box module 420 on the two sides of
the web 412 is in the
same staggered arrangement. That is, the number of matrix boxes on both sides
of the web is the
same, and every time a matrix box module 420 starts to enter the sorting
space, there must be a
corresponding matrix box module 420 which is in half of the separation space.
The matrix box module 420 comprises two or more pieces of non-magnetic frame
plate 421 and a
high magnetic medium 422 which is located between the non-magnetic frame plate
421. According
to the difference of material granularity, the magnetic content of materials
and the distribution of
magnetic particle size in the separated slurry, the matrix box module 420 is
divided into many
forms. Selecting from the materials or forms, the high magnetic medium 422
includes both rod and
mesh media, as well as steel wool or any other form of high magnetic soft
magnetic material that
can be filled between the non-magnetic frame plate 421 and will eventually be
placed on the ring
frame 410 for producing induction magnetic field when using in the wet high
intensity magnetic
separator; Selecting from the arrangement, the high magnetic medium 422

arrangement and loose arrangement, both uniform arrangement of the media gap
and medium
gap gradient increasing or decreasing arrangement, both a single form of
magnetic conduction
media arrangement and a variety of forms of magnetic conduction media blending
arrangement.

anti-corrosion grades:
the first grade is high magnetic medium 422 using anti-corrosion material; the
second grade
provides overall coating treatment of the matrix box module 420 on the basis
of first level; the third
grade increases the sacrificial anode corrosion on the basis of the second
grade, for the sacrificial
anode can be replaced at any time, so this grade has a stronger anti-corrosion
capacity. Finally,
according to different working conditions, the wet high intensity magnetic
separator is equipped
with different matrix box module 420.
The middle shaft 510 of the ring drive parts 5 goes through the ring 4 from
the hub 411, the middle
shaft 510 and the hub 411 are connected by a magnetic flux-tight sleeve 520,
and the torque from
the middle shaft 510 can be transmitted to the ring 4 by the magnetic flux-
tight sleeve 520. The
middle shaft bearing housing 530 is positioned above the outer side of the
left upper magnetic pole
110 and the right upper magnetic pole 120, supporting the middle shaft 510 and
producing a
distance within ten mm between the ring 4 and the upper magnetic pole iron
core module 112 and

scraping between the upper magnetic pole iron core module 112 and the lower
magnetic pole iron
core module 152 when the ring is operating, and also the separation space is
fully utilized. The one

upper magnetic
pole 110 and the right upper magnetic pole 120 is isolated through the non-
magnetic
stainless-steel plate, further reducing the magnetic flux of the middle shaft
bearing 531 and the ring
drive motor 550 and the reducer 560, and thus prolonging the service life of
the middle shaft
bearing 531 and the ring drive motor 550 and the reducer 560.

the discharging water tank 8 are respectively provided with rinsing water
outlet 820 and water flow
exit 830, and all the water supply ports using industrial circulating water
are unified to the water
inlet of the discharing water tank 8. The discharging water tank 8 washes out

can make the rinsing
water flow evenly into the flushing hopper 7, and then through the mine
clearance flow to the
division within the district of the transfer ring. The smuggled minerals and
the mineral impurities in
the captured magnetic materials are selectively flushed away from the matrix
box module to allow
them to enter the non-magnetic material collecting hopper so as to obtain more
purer magnetic
materials. The pipeline is extended from the water flow exit 830 to the gentle
slope position of the
magnetic material collecting hopper 9, controlling the direction of the water

more non-magnetic material discharging valve 1130, which can control the
height of the mineral
slurry level of the sorting area by adjusting the valve opening. When the non-
magnetic material

expansion box is provided with a structure of a respirator, a junction hopper,
a liquid level
observation etc. A pulsation box pushes the pulsating push plate to do
reciprocating motion, and
the pulsating push plate is connected with the right collection interval of
the non-magnetic hopper
through rubber or other soft waterproof material to seal pulp in the non-
magnetic hopper.
Further, in the vertical ring wet high intensity magnetic separator with
forced oil cooling of the
invention, a pulsation stroke and pulsation frequency of the pulsation box is
preferably adjustable
to adapt to different ore properties, and the pulsation stroke refers to the
amplitude of reciprocating
motion, the pulsation frequency refers to the speed of reciprocating motion.
The non-magnetic
hopper is positioned below the magnetic yoke, the valve is provided under the
hopper body to
adjust the height of liquid level by adjusting the valve opening and feeding
quantity. A liquid level
observation hopper is provided on the side of the device, and the liquid level
observation hopper is
connected with the non-magnetic hopper to control the pulp surface height in
the liquid level
observation hopper by manual or automatic adjustment of the valve opening of
the valve below the
.. nonmagnetic material hopper. The valve of the nonmagnetic material hopper
is provided with an
extension rod, and the valve opening can be adjusted outside device; the
regulating point can also
be transferred to the top of the device through the flexible shaft or other
steering device to observe
the height of the liquid level while adjusting the valve. The ring cover can
cover the whole ring to
protect the personal safety, and each part of the cover body is connected with
an inserting type to
prevent slurry spill. The cover body is provided with an observation window.
The bracket is made
of section steel welded together, and the bracket is composed of two parts of
a magnetic yoke
bracket and a pulsation hopper bracket, wherein the magnetic yoke bracket and
the pulsation
hopper bracket are connected by welding or bolt fastening mode, there is a
positioning structure
on the bracket.
Adjusting different parameter and replacing different component module, based
on the difference
of the selected material and working environment of the wet high intensity
magnetic separator or
the vertical ring wet high intensity magnetic separator with forced oil
cooling, it will realize the
biggest degree of adaptation with the using site and therefore gain a better,
more stable separation
index.
The invention has the advantages of reasonable and novel structure, high
safety, energy saving
and beautiful appearance, while ensuring the good separation index.
