ATTORNEY United States Patent CE ice DEVICE TO SEPARATE MINERALS BY SPECIFIC WEIGHT Ernst Cloos, Sinn, Dillkreis, Germany, assignor of onehalf to Paul 0. Tobeler, doing business under the name of Trans-Oceanic, Los Angeles, Calif.
Application May 23, 1955, Serial No. 510,360
9 Claims. (Cl. 209-211) This invention relates to a device to separate minerals by specific weight and, more particularly, to separate fines of minerals by specific weight.
In attempting to separate minerals by specific weight in accordance with the law of gravity, it has been found that grains of minerals of a certain size and smaller cannot be separated as the surface forces on the grains are greater than the force of gravity. To separate these fine grains it is, therefore, necessary to exert additional forces which will produce a greater component than the sole force of gravity. In this invention the additional force applied is centrifugal.
The centrifugal force is effected in a spiral-shaped tube, having the configuration of the outer edges of screw thread, which is rotated at a fast rate. The tube is formed having straight and vertical intake and outlet ends with the spiral portion in between. It can be made of most metals and can be of any conventional cross-section, such as, round or square. The inlet and outlet ends have a common axis about which the tube is rotated by a motor means. The spiral portion of the tube has one or more horizontal discharge openings which can be closed and opened by individual shutters.
A sludge containing the mineral fiows through the spiral in a continuous stream and the fast rotation creates the centrifugal force. This force in the spiral portion causes the heavy particles to move to the outside tube wall where they can be emptied through the adjustable discharge openings. The velocity of revolution can be varied for the individual mineral to be treated. It is also possible to regulate the quantity of the centrifuged product by changing the position of the shutters of the discharge openings correspondingly and in certain cases it may be of special advantage to place discharge openings on the inner wall as well as on the outer wall of the spiral.
Therefore, an object of this invention is to provide an improved method of ore dressing by employing a fast revolving spiral tube having horizontal discharge openings.
A principal object of this invention is to provide a device for the separation of minerals by specific weight in which heavy and light particles are discharged separately from adjustable openings in a fast rotating spiral tube.
A further object of this invention is to provide a device by which mineral fines can be separated from heavier particles by means of centrifugal force.
Other objects of invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway view showing the screw thread shaped spiral tube mounted in operating position;
Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the spiral tube taken along the lines 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view of a discharge opening with closed shutter on an outer surface of the spiral u Patented June 2, 1959 Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional side view of a discharge opening with the shutter closed taken along the lines 4-4 of Fig. 3;
And Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a discharge port with closed shutter on an inner surface of the spiral tube.
Referring to Fig. 1, showing the separator in position for operation, spiral tube 1 has three portions, namely, inlet portion 9, spiral portion 1a, and outlet portion 10. Inlet 9 and outlet 10 are straight and vertical, having the same vertical axis about which they rotate. inlet portion 9 is mounted in bearing structure 3 and outlet portion 4 is mounted in bearing structure 4. The entire tube is rotated about its vertical axis by motor 2 via driving pulleys and belt system 2a. Discharge openings 5b are shown on the outer surface of spiral portion 1a with shutters 5 in the closed position. Shutter arms or levers 5a are extending substantially radially outward from spiral portion 1a toward jacket 7 and truncated-cone rollers or casters 6 are mounted on the outward ends of arms 5a. Jacket 7 has an outer cylindrical surface 7b and an inner trtmcated-cone surface 7a, having both ends open. Casters 6 roll on truncated-cone jacket surface 711 of jacket 7 which substantially surrounds spiral portion 1a. Inner discharge openings 15b can be employed and are shown on the inner surface of spiral portion 1a with shutters 15 in closed position. Shutter arm 15a extends substantially radially outward having caster L6 in position to roll on cone surface 7a when tube 1 is rotated. Openended separation cylinder 17 is mounted to rotate with tube 1, although it need not be so mounted.
Referring to Fig. 1 and to Fig. 2, showing a view taken along lines 22 of Fig. 1, a plan view of the lower part of spiral portion 1a is illustrated. Shutters 5 and 15 are shown closed with casters 6 and 16 against cone surface in. Outer cylindrical surface 7b of jacket 7 is shown in crosssection with upright mounting posts 8 having keys 11 on surface 7b riding in key slot 8a. Motor 18 which could be on either of posts 8 drives gear 19 which is engaged in rack 20 to raise and lower jacket 7.
In Fig. 3, an enlarged plan view of an outer discharge opening is shown in the closed position. Opening 5b is covered by shutter 5 and arm 5a, partially cutaway, extends outward therefrom.
Fig. 4, taken along the lines 4--4 of Fig. 3, shows a side cross-sectional view of outer opening 5b in spiral portion 1a with shutter 5 closed and arm 5a extending outward therefrom.
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 except that it shows a cross-section of inner opening 15b in spiral portion 1a with shutter 15 closed and arm 15a extending outward therefrom, having roller 16 attached thereto.
In operation, tube 1 is caused to rotate at a pre-determined high speed, depending upon the size and type of mineral separation desired. The sludge containing the mineral flows into tube 1 through intake 9 and downward through spiral portion 1a toward outlet 10. By the fast revolution of tube 1, heavy particles of the mineral are forced to the outside wall of spiral portion 1a where they can be emptied through outer openings 5b when shutters 5 are opened. Shutters 5 are caused to open by centrifugal force when jacket 7 is raised when motor 18 turns gear 19 in rack 20. That is, when jacket 7 is raised, cone suraway through another drain also not shown. The re;
'assaost maining sludge and any unseparated minerals flow outward through outlet into a third drain, not shown.
In this device the treatment of the minerals can also be accomplished by a heavy liquid, as may be desirable, instead of by the use of pure water. 7
Although the invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is to be clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the spirit and scope of this invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
