Definitions
- ABSTRACT There is disclosed herein an apparatus for detecting and separating a desired ore or mineral from a quantity of ore.
- the apparatus includes a plurality of selectively deflectable flowing fluid streams.
- the streams are controlled to displace the desired mineral particles from the quantity of ore.
- Pivotally mounted arcuate tubes normally divert the fluid streams when then are not acting to displace particles, but these tubes are selectively movable to allow the streams to hit desired particles.
- a screen is used for conveying the ore past the fluid streams in such a manner that the streams may act through the screen to displace the selected particles.
- Some systems heretofore imployed in making a primary separation of minerals have significant limitations based on mandatory requirements on ore input.
- One factor constraining such an input is the speed with which the selecting means can separate. This reaction speed affects the volume of material which can be processed in a given time, and is particularly important when small particles or low grade material is to be separated.
- the reaction time of the system also may reduce the accuracy of selection because the process is less able to initiate and terminate a selection response in an almost instantaneous period of time. With reduced accuracy, the density of'particle input must correspondingly be reduced.
- the constraint on the density of particles input also reduces the amount of material which can be processed in a given period of time.
- Another factor which acts as a limitation on the input is the need for an accurate trajectory for the particles passing the selection device.
- the particles When the particles are allowed to fall past the selection device, their original release should impart a particular velocity to the particles.
- the particles will then reach the sensor and selection means at a predicted location and time. This is desirable because of the usual reduction in the sensitivity of sensing devices, and the accuracy of separating means, as the distance from the desired particles SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
- the present invention involves several novel concepts particularly useful in separations where the desired particles are relatively small.
- An example, although not intending to be limined thereby, is the separation of diamonds as small as one twenty thousandth inch.
- the separation of small particles requires the use of a separation device of relatively low mass which can be actuated rapidly, and which can be made sufficiently small so as to separate out the desired particles without also separating out undesired particles.
- the present concepts accordingly involve means for controlling a flowing fluid stream in a rapid and precise manner.
- a plurality of arcuate tubes are employed to normally divert a like number of flowing fluid streams away from the particle selection area. These tubes are pivotally mounted so as to greatly reduce theinertia which must be overcome in controlling the fluid streams.
- an arcuate tube is displaced or moved out of the naturalpath of the flowing stream to allow the stream to impinge upon the particle being selected. In this manner the trajectory ofthe selected particle is changed so that it may be collected in a suitable receptacle.
- the arcuate tubes can be made relatively small, and actuated rapidly, they allow-short and precise pulses of fluid to impinge upon the desired particles for separation, and function well in separating either wet or dry particles.
- the concepts of the present invention also include the use of a perforated conveyor in the form of a screen.
- the slurry preferably is applied to the screen in a layer approximately one particle thick.
- the screen type belt allows the liquid from the slurry to drain off as the material is conveyed to the detection and separation area.
- the use of a screen also allows separation of the desired particles through the belt.
- the - belt conveys the material past sensors which detect the characteristic of the desired particles, such as radiation thereof or radiation from a preferential coating thereon as described in said above patents.
- the arcuate tubes are mounted under the belt and are actuated in response to the signals from the sensing system to cause liquid to flow through the screen belt and deflect desired particles therefrom into a receptacle.
- This arrangement eliminates the problems associated with developing a desired trajectory for the particles.
- the screen arrangement further allows the material tobe introduced in either a wet state or a dry state, and allows the use of a wide range of belt feed speeds.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of the separating apparatus according to the present invention showing an arcuate tube in a position to normaliy deflect flowing liquid streams away from the separation area;
- FIG. 2 is a similar illustration showing an arcuate tube displaced to allow a flowing stream to impinge upon, and thus change the trajectory of, a desired particle;
- FIG. 3 is a detailed side elevational view of apparatus similar to that of FIGS. 1 and 2 but including a screen type conveyor;
- FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view of the arrangement of FIG. 3.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate apparatus according to the present concepts employing a plurality of pivotally mounted arcuate tubes which are used to normally deflect'a like plurality of continuously flowing liquid streams, but which may be moved or otherwise displaced about a pivot axis to allow one or more streams to impinge upon one or more respective desired particles to be separated.
- FIGS. 3 and-4 illustrate construction details of this arrangement, and further illustrate its use in conjunction with a moving screen type conveyor or belt wherein the deflecting apparatus is mounted beneath the belt to displace desired particles from the belt rather than accomplishing this operation during free-fall of the particles as schematically illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- a sensor 14 is located adjacent the trajectory plane 12 and generates a timed response when a desired or preferred particle passes any one of many discrete areas of observation across the trajectory plane 12 respectively associated with the plural tubes.
- the sensor response is supplied to one of a bank of double acting actuators 16 which are mechanically linked to pivotally mounted arcuate tubes 18.
- a typical conveyor belt is 30 to 40 inches wide and, thus, a large plurality of actuators and tubes are employed to select particles falling from any point along the width of the belt; likewise, the sensor 14 includes a like plurality of sensors to completely cover the plane 12 of interest. That is, there is a sensor corresponding to each tube, each sensor observing the area of its respective tube.
- the actuators 16 serve to pivot respective arcuate tubes 18,to the position shown in FIG. 2 and to return v the tubes to the normal position shown in FIG. 1.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 a conveyor 10 is shown onto which ore material is applied for feeding the ore into a trajectory plane symbolicallyillustrated by an arrow 12.
- the latter have a measurable property not possessed by the other material fed to the conveyor. Examples of such property are natural radiation, or fluorescence imparted by minerals to electromagnetic radiation to cause at least a portion thereof to fluorescence at a characteristic wavelength.
- the latter can be achieved by preferentially coating some of the particles with a tinuous fluid streams are supplied to the inlet ends of the arcuate tubes 18 from a manifold 20 through respective nozzles 22.
- the arcuate tubes 18 are positioned relative to the streams so that each stream is chanelled through a corresponding arcuate tube 18 onto a deflection plate 24 which diverts the fluid from the system.
- the ore particles fall along the trajectory plane 12 and into an ore receptacle 26.
- the sensor 14 observes a particle which is to be separated from the main body of the ore
- the sensor 14 responds to the observation by triggering the appropriate actuator 16.
- the actuator pivots its respective arcuate tube 18 for the sensed area away from the continuous fluid stream thereby allowing thestream to directly impinge upon the selected particle, causing the particle to be diverted into the mineral receptacle 28.
- tubes 18 and nozzles 22 are employed, and the sensor 14 includes a like number of detectors.
- the arcuate tubes 18 are mounted apart on A; inch centers, and the water jet from eachnozzle 22 is approximately 1/16 inch in diameter.
- the conveyor belt may be approximately 30 inches wide.
- the arcuate tube arrangement is particularly advantageous in providing a fast acting deflection system.
- the arcuate tubes can be made relatively small and light weight so that the same can be moved rapidly by an electromagnetic actuator 16. Furthermore, in the normal position shown in FIG. 1, the .water flow through the arcuate tube 18 tends to maintain the tube I in the fluid-deflecting position as shown, but when the arcuate tube is' partially deflected (rotated counterclockwise as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2) by the actuator 16,
- the fluid jet on the entry end of the tube from the nozzle 22 and partial amount of fluid remaining toward the outlet end of the tube aids in quickly deflecting the 18 when the entry end of the tube intercepts the fluid stream.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 there is shown a screen type conveyor 30 and the sensor 14 mounted above the screen, and the actuator assembly mounted beneath the screen for deflecting desired particles therefrom rather than deflecting the particles from the free-fall trajectory 12 upon leaving the conveyor as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the sensor 14 may be any of several types of sensors incorporating a plurality of sensing elements across the lateral dimension, or width, of the conveyor for sensing the unique characteristic of desired particles. Exemplary sensing arrangements are disclosed in said aforementioned patents. Suitable sensing devices include electromagnetic radiation sensors, color sensors, reflectivity sensors, radioactivity sensors, thermo-magnetic sensors, and the like. The sensing system employed is principally dictated by the characteristics of the ore to be separated.
- the sensor 14 includes a row of individual sensing units, as noted above, the number and spacing thereof depending upon the width of the conveyor and the size of the particles to be selected, in order to determine the lateral location of such particles on the screen 30, or in the trajectory plane 12 if the free-fall arrangement of FIGS. 1 and 2 is used. Furthermore, the sensor system 14 includes appropriate electrical circuits for detecting the responses of the respective sensing elements upon detection of a desired particle, and for translating such signals into respective gating signals timed to actuate the selection system at the appropriate instant, and to allow or enable return of the selection system to its normal state following the selection.
- An exemplary system and sircuits are described and illustrated in said U.S. Pat. No. 3,472,375.
- the arrangement thereon illustrated describes an exemplary arrangement wherein ore has been treated with a fluorescent material, is irradiated by a radiation source, and the characteristic radiation emitted by desired particles of ore is-detected by an electromagnetic wave sensing means, such as a plurality of photomultiplyers.
- the sensing or detecting means then provides signals to an amplifier and control circuit which in turn actuates one or more electromagnetic actuators, the particular one or more actuated depends upon the number'and position of desired'particles when were detected.
- These actuators according to said U.S. Pat; No. 3,472,375, then pivot tubes flexibly coupled with a manifold to supply a stream of fluid for deflecting the desired particle or particles from the nor mal trajectory thereof.
- arcuate tubes 18 allows a more closely spaced selection apparatus and eliminates the need for flexible connections.
- These tubes may be operated in any suitable manner, such as by means of electromagnetic actuators of the nature of those illustrated in said U.S. Pat. No. 3,472,375. Any other suitable arrangement may be employed, such as a staggered'arrangement of groups of electromagnetic actuators 34 and 36 mounted approximately 90 apart, each of which is double acting for moving its respective tube in two directions. These actuators are staggered to allow a more compact, or close, spacing of the tubes.
- the actuators 34 operate the first, third, fifth, etc., tubes and the actuators 36 operate the second,-fourth, sixth, etc., tubes.
- energization of actuator 34 will pivot the arcuate tube 18 counter-clockwise and thus allow a stream of fluid, such as water, from the nozzle 22 to flow through the screen 30 and impinge upon a particle thereon. Reverse energization of the actuator 34 will return the tube to its normal, fluid deflecting, position.
- the actuator 36 similarly rotates the next arcuate tube.
- Any other suitable arrangement for moving the arcuate tubes 18 may be employed, such as a pair of single-acting electromagnetic actuators coupled to each tube, one actuator for moving the tube in one direction and the other actuator for moving the tube in the other direction; a single actuator 34 or 36 for pivoting the tube 18 counter-clockwise and a spring for returning it to its normal position; and the like. The arrangement as illustrated in FIG.
- Each arcuate tube 18 is secured to a suitable bracket 41 and the linkages 38 and 40 are pivotally coupled with'the brackets for respective pairs of tubes at 42 and 43. That is, the'linkages 38 are connected at the lower ends of the brackets at 42 for the first, third, etc., tubes; whereas, the linkages 40 are connected at the upper ends of the brackets at 43 for the second, third, etc. tubes.
- Pivot rings 46 are secured to the arcuate tubes 18, and these rings are pivotally mounted on a rod 48. The rings 46 are mounted at a position on the arcuate tubes 18 so as not to interfere with fluid streams from the nozzles 22.
- the radius of the tubes 18 is selected to sufflciently divert the fluid streams so that the streams will not come in contact with the ore whenthe tube is in a normal, fluid deflecting, position as indicated at FIG. 1 so as to prevent inadvertant selection of worthless material.
- the stroke of each actuator 34 and 36 is selected to provide sufficient clearence in swinging the upper end of a respective tube 18 from the path of a stream from a nozzle.22 upon. particle selection.
- the number of arcuate tubes l8' is selected to correspond with the number of sensing elements in the sensor system 14, and is sufficient to cover the width of the selection area. With a 30 inch wide screen, an arrangement for selecting relatively small particles as described previously may include approximately 240 arcuate tubes 18 mounted on inch centers across the width of the screen.
- a receptacle or collection box 54 is located relatively close to the outer surface of the screen 30, and exand precise positioning thereof are dependent upon the.
- the trajectory of the material falling from the screen is relatively unpredictable as noted earlier; on the other hand, it is relatively crushed, and put through heavy media separation to derive a material having particle sizes in the range desired.
- This material is slurred with water to provide a dispersion sufficient to spread on the screen, such as approximately two to five parts of water per one part material, and then is spread on the feed end of the screen belt 30 in a thin layer approximately one particle size thick.
- the screen has openings of approximately one-twenty thousandth inch, and allows dewatering of the slurry without loss of the material.
- the screen 30 may be approximately 30 inches wide and be formed of stainless steel thirteen thousandths diameter wire, and
- the force of gravity on retaining particles on the screen is reduced by approximately 50 to 80 percent. This reduces the force required in deflecting a particle from the outer surface of the screen, while obviating the problems of sensing and deflecting particles freely falling from the screen.
- the angle of the belt in the separation area also aids in collecting particles in the container 54.
- the angled portion of the screen may be providedby employing single or plural (so as not to abruptly change the direction of the belt) rollers at upper and lower locations 60 and 61.
- the screen size or mesh is determined by the minimum particle size desired to be separated.
- the optimum size isthat which will barely retain the smallest desired particle on the screen. With a coarser screen, the fluid streams are more effective in deflecting particles therefrom.
- tubes 18 may be mounted on approximately 1s inch centers.
- the desired material such as diamonds as noted above, are preferentially coated with a fluorescent agent prior to slurrying or as part of the slurry.
- the sensor 14 is mounted relatively close to the layer of material, and preferably as close as possible inand at a belt speed of 400.feet per minute, approximately 6 feet of belt prior to thedetecting and separating area thereof is sufficient to allow the material to sufficiently drain, unless. the material includes clay which requires a longer draining time.
- Each arcuate tube 18 may have an inside diameter of approximately 1/16 inch and a radius of approximately 2 inches, with the pivot at. rod 48 falling on a radial line essentially half-way between the ends of the tube.
