Description
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of energy recovery devices, and particularly relates to a nonferrous metal vortex separator.
Background
With the increasing of the mass of urban household garbage, garbage disposal is more and more difficult, and the problems of environmental pollution and the like caused by the garbage disposal gradually draw great attention to all communities of society. When the conventional household garbage in China is treated, the mixed and collected household garbage is sent to a roller screening machine for comprehensive separation, small inorganic residue soil, mixed organic matters, metals and large combustible matters are screened out in a classification mode, the small inorganic residue soil, the mixed organic matters, the metals and the large combustible matters are respectively sent to the next procedure for combustion treatment, then particles with different sizes are primarily screened out, and a large amount of metal and nonmetal resources are contained in the particles, wherein the resources contain various nonferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, nickel, lead, silicon and the like, and nonmetal materials such as plastics, glass fibers and the like. And these resources are all renewable resources. If the waste is caused by discarding a large amount of materials, the phenomena of environmental pollution and human health damage exist at the same time. Therefore, the method has the advantages that the household garbage is reasonably and safely treated, the contained metal and nonmetal resources are efficiently recycled and utilized, considerable economic benefit and remarkable environmental benefit are generated, and the method has important significance for sustainable development of China.
While the separation of these treated metal and non-metal sized particles is typically accomplished using an eddy current separator that is used to separate the nonferrous metals in the mixed particles or to separate the nonferrous metals of different conductivity, the magnet drum into which the permanent magnets are embedded rotates at high speed, creating an alternating magnetic field that will create eddy currents in the metal as it passes through the magnetic field. The eddy current itself generates alternating magnetic field, and the direction of the alternating magnetic field is opposite to that of the magnetic drum, namely repulsive force (Lorentz force) is generated on the metal, so that the metal is separated from the material flow, and the purpose of separation is achieved.
However, the factors influencing the sorting effect are many, wherein the granularity of the material is very critical, and the sorting effect with small particle diameter range is better, so that before entering the sorting, the granularity of the material is ensured to be within a certain range through an additional screening process, and the throwing distances of the materials are approximately equal. If the granularity difference is large, a phenomenon that metal particles enter a nonmetallic collecting box is formed, however, the added extra working procedures lead to lengthening of working procedures, and the work such as material transfer and the like also lead to increase of labor cost and the like.
In order to solve the problems, a nonferrous metal vortex separator is provided.
