The front portion of the grinder house is partitioned by drying house partition board 13-5 so that a drying house 13-3 is formed. A cylindrical material-flying board 13-4 is provided in the drying house 13-3, and can be rotated synchronously with the grinder. Twenty two rectangular material-flying ribs 13-14 are evenly provided on the inner watt of the cylindrical material-flying board 13-4. On the two sides of the material-flying ribs 13-14 there are provided triangular enforcing boards 13-15. The material-flying board 13-4 can not only disperse the material with high water content throughout the entire space of the drying house 13-3, but also crack and scatter the material simply, therefore, the wind sweeping-drying efficiency is improved effectively.
The above mentioned drying house partition board 13-5 comprises a drying house partition board body 13-16, a fixing ring 13-17, a stop ring 13-19, a material-flying ring 13-18, an enforcing ring 13-20, a wave type of arcuate material-flying board 13-21. The fixing ring 13-17 is provided in the middle of the inner watt of the cylindrical drying house partition board body 13-16. The stop ring 13-19 and the fixing ring 13-17 are provided concentrically on the same diameter plane, and connected with each other by means of several wave type of arcuate material-flying boards 13-21 which are evenly distributed. The material-flying ring 13-18 is provided on the inner end port of the cylindrical drying house partition board body 13-16. The enforcing ring 13-20 and the material-flying ring 13-18 are provided on the same diameter plane. The enforcing ring 13-20 is connected with the tail end of the wave type of arcuate material-flying board 13-21. This kind of dying house partition board 13-5 has a big area for material passage, the area is more than 40% of the section area of the grinder, the resistance of the material and gases is low, the passage capability of the material is high, the material transferred to the drying house partition board 13-5 can be forced into the first powder grinder house 13-6, and it is assured that the steel balls in the house can not be returned into the drying house 13-3.
Three spaced tilt guiding boards 13-1 are provided in the middle of the material input port of the head of the wind sweeping-drying powder grinder 13, and constitute a separation mechanism for the material and gases. Thus, the material flows into the grinder from between the guiding boards 13-1, and the hot air flows into the grinder from two sides of the guiding board 13-1. In this way, it is assured that not only the material can easily enter into grinder, but also the resistance of the hot gases is decreased, therefore it meets the need of high flowrate of the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13.
Using the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13, the drying process and the powder grinding process of the material are accomplished at one time, therefore, the investment of the apparatus is decreased, and the energy consumption is also decreased. During the drying and the powder grinding process, through the forced ventilation within the grinder, the material is rapidly interchanged with the hot gases so as to be dried rapidly. The steam resulted from drying process and the grinded fine powder can be drawn out in time through the wind guiding device 18 which is connected with the grinder tail, this accelerates the flow of material within the grinder, therefore the phenomena of over-grinding and micro-over-grinding of the material can be avoided completely, and the powder grinding efficiency is improved dramatically. When the water content of the material is less than 1.5%, the dying house 13-3 can be stopped, i.e. stopping the supply of the hot gases, therefore the energy consumption can be further decreased. When water content of the material is more than 8%, the drying house can not meet the need of the production, so that a separate drying apparatus must be equipped.
Said deduster 17 is an anti-dew bag type deduster which comprises a divisional chamber pulse sprayer and an input gas flow homogenization mechanism and an overflow type locking wind twist knife. The filtering speed of the deduster is high, and it would not produce the secondary flying dust. The deduster can handle the dust of high concentration, the discharging concentration standard is superior to the regulated discharging standard; furthermore, it can increase the air flowrate for handling, and has a pressure difference dedusting function. Therefore, the times of dedusting and the compressed air consumption can be decreased, the system can be operated stably, the service fife of the filtering bag can be prolonged, and the maintenance cost is low. In addition, the leaking airflow can also be decreased; this facilitates to prevent the filtering bag form dewing.
Said powder screening device 10 is a wind circulation powder screening device which comprises an air allocating chamber, a cage rotor, a material scattering disc, an air input pipe, a dispersed pre-grading chamber, a tangent air pipe, an air input ring pipe, an air transferring pipe, an adjusting air valve, an air guiding assembly. The powder screening device 10 is manufactured according to the technology disclosed in the present applicant's Chinese patent application Nos. 200520070483.9, 200520070484.3, 200520070485.8, 200520070486.2. It employs the advanced planar vortex powder screening principle, and employs in combination of the suspending dispersing technology, pre-grading technology, inner circulation collecting technology, purified gases decreasing temperature technology, this results in a high efficiency of powder screening. At the same time, through the use of the inner circulation, self-collecting manner, it overcomes the disadvantage of the high investment and the high operation cost, it has much more handling capability, higher screening efficiency than the traditional powder screening device. The powder screening efficiency can be improved by about 25%.
The automatic control device 19 receives the detecting result of the grinded material and fine power by the in-line laser particle detector 11 and 15, and computes and analyzes the parameters including the water content of the material entering the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13, the amount of the material, the rotary speed of the powder screening device 10, the rotary speed of deduster 17 and the air flowrate, etc. so as to ensure an optimal combination of the operating parameters, therefore, the high yield and superfine product.

The iron-removing device 2 removes the iron form the waste slag, the cracking device 3 cracks the waste slag, and then the material is lifted to the hopper 6. The waste slag is metered by the input material metering device 5, then fed into the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13. The hot air with a temperature about 400° C., provided by the sprayer of grinded coat powder 7, flame sprayer 8, and the mixing combustion chamber 9, enters the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13. The material is subject to both the wind sweeping-drying process and the power grinding process. The water content in the material is evaporated. The steam and the waste gases produced by the powder grinding process are draw out by the guiding device 18 from the tail of the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13, and enter the anti-dewing bag type deduster 17. The gases, after being purified by the anti-dewing bag deduster 17, are discharged into the atmosphere through the guiding device 18, the collected dust is transferred back to the tail of the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13, and falls onto the metering balance 14 together with the output material, and is detected by the in-line laser particle detector 15, then is lifted into the wind circulation powder screening device 10 for screening. The screened out rough powder is transferred back to the head of the grinder, and enters the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13 together with the newly added material and continues to be ground. The screened out fine powder, i.e. the finished product, is detected by the in-line laser particle detector 11, then transferred into the finished product storing tank 12, ready for sending out from the plant. The automatic control and detecting device 19 receives the result from the laser particle detector 11 and 15, and can automatically adjust and control the parameters including water content of the material entering the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13, the amount of the material, the rotary speed of the powder screening device 10, rotary speed and the air flowrate of the deduster 17 etc. through the computer analysis.
When the particle size of the output material from the grinder is more than 30 μm, the rotary speed for powder screening is increased by 15%, i.e. the rotary speed of the powder screening device 10 is increased to 140 rpm from 120 rpm by the automatic control device 19. it is also possible to decrease the amount of the material input into the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13 by 10%, i.e. the input amount of the material can be decreased by 10% through adjusting the metering device 5 for input material of the head of the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13 by the automatic control device 19.
When the particle size of the output material from the grinder is less than 20 μm, the air flowrate for dedusting the waste gases of the wind sweeping-drying powder grinder 13 is increased by 10%, i.e. the air flowrate for dedusting of the anti-dewing bag type deduster 17 is increased by 10% through the automatic control device 19. It is also possible to increase the amount of the material feeding into the wind sweeping-drying grinder 13 by 10%, i.e. through adjusting the metering device 5 for input material of the head of the wind sweeping-drying grinder by the automatic control device 19, the input amount is increased by 10%.
When the particle size of the finished product is more than 10 μm, the rotary speed for powder screening is increased by 25%, i.e. the rotary speed of the wind circulation powder screening device 10 is increased to 150 rpm from 120 rpm by means of the automatic control device 19. On the contrary, when the particle size of finished product is less than 5 μm, the rotary speed for screening is decreased by 10%, that is, from 120 rpm to 108 rpm, and the air flowrate of the deduster 17 is increased by 10%.
