A pulverizer is a mechanical device that pulverizes large-sized materials into required sizes. The pulverizer may use the high-speed rotation of pulverizing blades to cut and impact the materials to realize the pulverization of the materials.
The pulverizer includes a stator and a rotor, the materials are located between the stator and the rotor, and the materials are pulverized during rotation of the rotor. In the related art, the pulverizer cannot meet the requirements of different pulverization sizes of materials, and thus has a narrow applicability.
The present application is intended to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related art. Therefore, an objective of the present application is to provide a pulverizer to improve the problem that the pulverizer cannot meet the requirements of different pulverization sizes of materials.

In the embodiments of the present application, when it is needed to pulverize materials with smaller particle sizes, the stator pulverizing surface can be adjusted to approach the rotor pulverizing surface to reduce the distance therebetween. When it is needed to pulverize materials with larger particle sizes, the stator pulverizing surface can be adjusted to move away from the rotor pulverizing surface to increase the distance therebetween. Thanks to the adjustable distance between the stator pulverizing surface and the rotor pulverizing surface, the distance between the stator pulverizing surface and the rotor pulverizing surface can be adjusted according to the required particle size of materials, so that the pulverizer can produce pulverized materials with different particle sizes, and thus has a wider applicability.

In the embodiments of the present application, the rotation of the stator relative to the first box can be limited by providing the first limiting protrusion and the first limiting groove to engage the stator in the fixing ring.
In some embodiments, the first box further includes: a housing, the mounting groove being located in the housing, and the mounting groove running through the end surface of the housing away from the second box; and an end cover for covering the end surface of the housing away from the second box, the end cover being detachably connected to the housing. In the embodiments of the present application, by configuring the first box such that the housing is detachably connected to the end cover, the end cover can be detached from the housing to detach and repair the stator located in the mounting groove, facilitating the subsequent maintenance.
In some embodiments, the end surface of the housing away from the second box is provided with an annular boss, and a projection of an inner ring of the annular boss on the first plane is located within a projection of an inner ring of the mounting groove on the first plane; and the end surface of the stator facing the annular boss is provided with a second limiting protrusion, the end surface of the annular boss facing the stator is provided with a second limiting groove, and the second limiting protrusion is located in the second limiting groove. In the embodiments of the present application, the stator is engaged in the annular boss by means of the second limiting protrusion and the second limiting groove, so that the rotation of the stator relative to the first box can be limited.
In some embodiments, the surface of the second box opposite the housing is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, the housing is provided with a plurality of connecting holes corresponding to the plurality of threaded holes on a one-to-one basis, and the pulverizer further includes: a connecting rod, which runs through the connecting hole and is connected to the threaded hole; and an adjusting nut, which is located between the housing and the second box, the adjusting nut being threadedly connected to the connecting rod.

In some embodiments, the side of the first box away from the second box is provided with a feed opening, a discharge opening is formed between the first box and the second box, and the feed opening and the discharge opening are both in communication with the pulverizing chamber.

In some embodiments, the rotor is of a truncated conical structure, the rotor pulverizing surface is an outside surface of the rotor, the stator is internally provided with a truncated conical groove matching the shape of the rotor, an inside surface of the stator is the stator pulverizing surface, and the rotor is located in the truncated conical groove. In the embodiments of the present application, the stator and the rotor are respectively configured as a truncated conical structure and a truncated conical groove, and the side surfaces thereof are both inclined surfaces, so that the ground materials can move downwardly under the action of gravity and be conveniently discharged.
In some embodiments, the pulverizer satisfies at least one of the following conditions: a first included angle α between a generatrix and a bottom surface of the rotor is greater than or equal to 65° and less than or equal to 80°; and a second included angle β between a generatrix and a bottom surface of the truncated conical groove is greater than or equal to 65° and less than or equal to 80°. In the embodiments of the present application, by defining the range of the first included angle between the generatrix and the bottom surface of the rotor and the range of the second included angle between the generatrix and the bottom surface of the truncated conical groove, the materials can be fully pulverized after entering the pulverizing chamber, and can also be removed smoothly.
In some embodiments, the second included angle is less than or equal to the first included angle. In the embodiments of the present application, when the second included angle is equal to the first included angle, the generatrix of the stator is parallel to the generatrix of the truncated conical groove, and the shapes of the stator and the rotor can form a good fit for material pulverization. When the second included angle is less than the first included angle, the distance between the stator and the rotor gradually decreases from top to bottom in a vertical direction, so that the materials can be coarsely pulverized in an upper part of the pulverizing chamber and finely pulverized in a lower part thereof.
In some embodiments, the rotor is provided with a plurality of rotor blades, and the rotor blades form the rotor pulverizing surface. In the embodiments of the present application, the rotor blades are arranged around the rotor to form the rotor pulverizing surface, which can cut the materials during the pulverizing of the materials, so that the materials are pulverized more fully.
In some embodiments, the plurality of rotor blades includes a first blade set and a second blade set, wherein the number of blades of the first blade set is less than the number of blades of the second blade set. In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the blade sets with different numbers of blades, the materials can be coarsely pulverized by the first blade set and finely pulverized by the second blade set, so as to achieve segmental pulverizing, providing a better pulverizing effect.
In some embodiments, a distance between the first blade set and the support frame is greater than a distance between the second blade set and the support frame. In the embodiments of the present application, the distance between the first blade set and the support frame is greater than the distance between the second blade set and the support frame, that is, the second blade set is located below the first blade set. Since the number of blades of the first blade set is less than the number of blades of the second blade set, the materials will automatically move to the second blade set for fine pulverizing under the action of gravity after being coarsely pulverized by the first blade set, so that the pulverizing process is more convenient.
In some embodiments, the stator is provided with a plurality of stator blades, the plurality of stator blades form the stator pulverizing surface, and the stator blade has a thickness greater than that of the rotor blade. In the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the stator blade is set to be greater than that of the rotor blade, so that the stator blades are more wear-resistant during the pulverizing process and do not need to be replaced frequently.
In some embodiments, at least one of the rotor blade and the stator blade is a ceramic blade. In the embodiments of the present application, the rotor blade and the stator blade have a small amount of wear during the pulverizing, and, when being configured as ceramic blades, have little impact on the properties of the pulverized material because the ceramic blades are not easy to wear.
In some embodiments, the pulverizer further includes: a driving mechanism connected to the support frame, an output shaft of the driving mechanism being connected to the rotor. In the embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism drives the rotor to rotate, and can also change the rotation speed of the rotor to speed up the pulverizing of the materials and improve the pulverizing efficiency.

In the embodiments of the present application, when the second included angle β is equal to the first included angle α, the generatrix of the stator 2 is parallel to the generatrix of the truncated conical groove 24, and the shapes of the stator 2 and the rotor 3 can form a good fit for material pulverizing. When the second included angle β is less than the first included angle α, the distance between the stator 2 and the rotor 3 gradually decreases from top to bottom in a vertical direction, so that the materials can be coarsely pulverized in an upper part of the pulverizing chamber and finely pulverized in a lower part thereof.
In the embodiments of the present application, the material of the rotor blade 32 is not limited, and may be steel, ceramic, etc. The number of rotor blades 32 is also not limited. The rotor blades 32 surround the rotor 3 to form the rotor pulverizing surface 31. When the number of rotor blades 32 is large, the distribution thereof is dense, and when the number of rotor blades 32 is small, the distribution thereof is sparse.
In the embodiments of the present application, the rotor blades 32 are arranged around the rotor 3 to form the rotor pulverizing surface 31, which can cut the materials during the pulverizing of the materials, so that the materials are pulverized more fully.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of rotor blades 32 includes a first blade set 321 and a second blade set 322. The number of blades of the first blade set 321 is less than the number of blades of the second blade set 322.
In the embodiments of the present application, the number of blades of the first blade set 321 is small so that the materials are coarsely pulverized when passing through the first blade set 321, and the number of blades of the second blade set 322 is large so that the materials are finely pulverized when passing through the second blade set 322.
In some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of rotor blades 32 may further include a third blade set 323. The number of blades of the third blade set 323 may be equal to the number of blades of the second blade set 322, or may be greater than the number of blades of the second blade set 322.
Illustratively, the number of blades of the first blade set 321 is greater than or equal to 80 and less than or equal to 100, the number of blades of the second blade set 322 is greater than or equal to 100 and less than or equal to 150, and the number of blades of the third blade set 323 is greater than or equal to 100 and less than or equal to 150.
In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the blade sets with different numbers of blades, the materials can be coarsely pulverized by the first blade set 321 and finely pulverized by the second blade set 322. Segmental pulverizing is realized, and the pulverizing effect is better.
According to some embodiments of the present application, a distance between the first blade set 321 and the support frame 1 is greater than a distance between the second blade set 322 and the support frame 1.
Illustratively, the first blade set 321 is closer to the smaller diameter end of the truncated conical groove 24 than the second blade set 322, and the second blade set 322 is closer to the larger diameter end of the truncated conical groove 24 than the first blade set 321. The materials enter the pulverizing chamber from the smaller diameter end of the truncated conical groove 24 for coarse pulverizing, and then move to the larger diameter end of the truncated conical groove 24 for fine pulverizing.
In the embodiments of the present application, the distance between the first blade set 321 and the support frame 1 is greater than the distance between the second blade set 322 and the support frame 1, that is, the second blade set 322 is located below the first blade set 321. Since the number of blades of the first blade set 321 is less than the number of blades of the second blade set 322, the materials will automatically move to the second blade set 322 for fine pulverizing under the action of gravity after being coarsely pulverized by the first blade set 321, so that the pulverizing process is more convenient.
In the embodiments of the present application, the material of the stator blade 25 is not limited, and may be steel, ceramic, etc. The number of stator blades 25 is also not limited. The stator blades 25 surround the inside of the first box to form the stator pulverizing surface 21. When the number of stator blades 25 is large, the distribution thereof may be dense, and when the number of stator blades 25 is small, the distribution thereof may be sparse.
In the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the stator blade 25 is set to be greater than that of the rotor blade 32, so that the stator blades 25 are more wear-resistant during the pulverizing process and do not need to be replaced frequently.
In the embodiments of the present application, it is possible that the rotor blade 32 is a ceramic blade, or the stator blade 25 is a ceramic blade, or the rotor blade 32 and the stator blade 25 are both ceramic blades.
In the embodiments of the present application, the rotor blade 32 and the stator blade 25 have a small amount of wear during the pulverizing of the materials, and, when being configured as ceramic blades, have little impact on the properties of the pulverized material because the ceramic blades are not easy to wear.
