The sorting method and the sorting device provided by the invention are used for sorting materials, particularly for sorting coal in a light and heavy manner, and can enable the materials to be sorted to form a fluidized bed layer, so that the sorting effect of the materials is good. The above-mentioned sorting method and sorting apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to specific examples.

As shown in fig. 1, the sorting apparatus provided in this embodiment includes a material distribution device, a plenum 1, a sorting bed 2, a material inlet 3, a material outlet 4, and a vibration device. The material distributing device is used for conveying materials to be sorted to the sorting bed 2 according to a preset thickness; the air chamber 1 is used for providing air for the sorting bed 2, the air volume of the air changes periodically, the minimum air volume of the air is not zero, and the top of the air chamber 1 is open; the sorting bed 2 is arranged at the opening at the top of the air chamber 1 and is used for forming a bed layer for the materials to be sorted so as to realize the layering of the materials to be sorted according to the density; the feeding port 3 is arranged at one side of the sorting bed 2, is communicated with the distributing device and is used for adding materials to be sorted; the discharge port 4 is arranged at the other side of the sorting bed 2, and the discharge port 4 comprises a heavy material outlet 41 and a light material outlet 42 which are used for discharging the heavy material layer and the light material layer which are layered according to the density from the corresponding discharge ports 4; the vibrating device is arranged on the sorting bed 2, and the vibrating direction of the vibrating device and the bed surface 21 of the sorting bed 2 form an included angle sigma anticlockwise, so that the bed surface 21 vibrates upwards along the discharging direction, and materials to be sorted are promoted to be layered according to density.

When the sorting device works, materials to be sorted are conveyed to the bed surface 21 of the sorting bed 2 from the feeding port 3 according to the preset thickness by the material distribution device, air in the air chamber 1 is blown to the bed surface 21 of the sorting bed 2, the sorting bed 2 is vibrated by the vibration device, the light materials in the lower-layer materials of the materials to be sorted move upwards under the coupling action of the air and the vibration, the heavy materials in the upper-layer materials of the materials to be sorted move downwards and are divided into a light material layer and a heavy material layer according to the density, then the heavy material layer is discharged from the heavy material outlet 41, and the light material layer is discharged from the light material outlet 42, so that the sorting of the materials is completed.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the air chamber 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, the air inlet 11 is provided with a rotating air plate 12, the rotating air plate 12 is provided with a vent 121, and the rotating air plate 12 rotates periodically. The rotary air plate 12 provided with the ventilation opening 121 can provide air with periodically changed air quantity for the sorting bed 2, and the minimum air quantity of the air is not zero. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, when the plate surface of the rotating air plate 12 rotates to be parallel to the axis of the air inlet 11, the air quantity supplied to the sorting bed 2 is the largest, and when the plate surface of the rotating air plate 12 rotates to be perpendicular to the axis of the air inlet 11, the air quantity supplied to the sorting bed 2 is the smallest, and the smallest air quantity is related to the equivalent area of the vent hole of the rotating air plate 12.

In the embodiment, the wind energy with the periodically alternating wind volume enables the bed layer formed by the materials to be sorted to perform periodic expansion and contraction movement in the alternating wind field, and the materials to be sorted are favorably layered according to the density. Specifically, when the air volume in the wind field is converted from low air volume to high air volume, the bed layer expands, and the gaps among the material particles are larger than the diameters of the material particles, the light material penetrates through the gaps among the material particles under the action of the wind force and moves to the top of the bed layer; when the air volume in the wind field is converted from high air volume to low air volume, the bed layer shrinks, at the moment, the wind power firstly drops to the point that the heavy materials cannot be supported, and the heavy materials firstly sink through the gaps of the material particles. Therefore, the air with the alternating air quantity periods promotes the materials to be layered according to the density, and the sorting effect of the materials is improved.

As a preferable technical solution, the rotation period T of the rotating air plate 12 (i.e. the variation period T of the air) is twice the falling time of the material bed layer after expanding to the highest point, which is because the air volume can be varied from large to small by rotating the rotating air plate 12 by 180 degrees, and it can be ensured that the rotating air plate 12 rotates to the position with the maximum air volume when the material bed layer falls from the highest point to the lowest point. In particular, the period of rotationWherein H is the preset thickness of the bed layer, K is the loosening coefficient of the bed layer,the gravity weakening coefficient is g, the gravity acceleration is g, the preset thickness H of the bed layer can be taken according to the actual sorting condition, the loosening coefficient K of the bed layer can be 1.2-1.5, and the gravity weakening coefficientCan be 0.1-0.9, and the gravity acceleration can be 9.8m/s²。

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, an included angle α is formed between the bed surface 21 and the horizontal plane, so that the feeding end of the bed surface 21 is higher than the discharging end, which is convenient for discharging the material, especially the heavy material layer, from the discharging port 4. Preferably, the bed surface 21 is provided with the air equalizing holes 211, so that air from the air chamber 1 can be uniformly blown out of the whole bed surface 21, and uneven material sorting effect caused by dead corners or local overlarge air volume is avoided.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1, the separation device of this embodiment further includes a partition plate 43, and the partition plate 43 is disposed between the heavy material outlet 41 and the light material outlet 42, so as to facilitate the separation of the heavy material layer and the light material layer.

As a preferable technical solution, as shown in fig. 1, the sorting device of this embodiment further includes a dust-removing air chamber 5, the dust-removing air chamber 5 is disposed above the sorting bed 2, a dust-removing opening 51 is disposed at the top of the dust-removing air chamber 5, and in the process that the material forms a bed layer under the action of the alternating wind field, the foreign dust mixed in the material is blown to the dust-removing opening 51 and discharged, so that the foreign dust can be prevented from being directly blown to the air to cause environmental pollution.

In the embodiment, under the action of the alternating wind field, the materials to be sorted are layered according to the density, and meanwhile, the vibration device enables the lower-layer materials to be subjected to throwing motion, so that the bed layer is greatly activated, and the floating of the light materials in the lower-layer materials is accelerated. In the sorting process, the light materials are suspended by the projectile force generated by the materials to be sorted and the alternating wind field of the vibrating device, and then the light materials are matched with the inclination angle of the bed surface 21 (namely, the included angle alpha is formed between the bed surface 21 and the horizontal plane), so that the materials to be sorted can run at different speeds on different bed heights, and the sorting effect of the materials is favorably improved. In particular, the speed of movement of the material to be sortedWhere ω is the angular frequency of the vibrating device and λ is the amplitude of the vibrating device.

In this embodiment, the thickness h of the lower layer material is obtained by the following formula: h = kD' + D_maxK represents the proportional coefficient of the thickness of the lower-layer material and the corrected throwing index D', and the value of k is 1.3-2.7, D_maxRepresenting the upper limit of the particle size of the material to be sorted. In order to expand, i.e. to cast, the underlying material, the modified throwing index D' is greater than 1, in particular。

Illustratively, the value range of the included angle alpha can be 0-22 degrees, the value of the included angle sigma can be 25-55 degrees, the value of the amplitude lambda can be 2-6mm, the value of the frequency omega can be 4-16Hz, through the values, the material to be sorted has the movement speed of 0.1-0.6m/s, and the corrected throwing index D' is larger than 1, so that a better material sorting effect can be achieved.

The sorting method provided by the embodiment is implemented by adopting the sorting device, and specifically comprises the following steps:

s1: the materials to be sorted are sent to the sorting bed 2 according to the preset thickness by the distributing device.

In the step, the material to be sorted is sent to the bed surface 21 of the sorting bed 2 from the feeding port 3 according to the preset thickness by the distributing device. Further, the ratio of the upper limit to the lower limit of the particle size of the material to be sorted is not more than 5, when the ratio of the upper limit to the lower limit of the particle size is more than 5, if the air blowing amount to the sorting bed 2 is too large, the material to be sorted with smaller particle size cannot form a fluidized bed layer, and if the air blowing amount to the sorting bed 2 is too small, the material to be sorted with larger particle size cannot form a fluidized bed layer, so that the ratio of the upper limit to the lower limit of the particle size of the material to be sorted is not more than 5, the size of the air blowing amount can be controlled more easily, the material to be sorted forms a fluidized bed layer. Illustratively, the particle size range for which the method of this embodiment is suitable may be from 10 to 50mm, and may also be from 6 to 25 mm. Furthermore, in order to better form a fluidized bed layer on the materials to be sorted and improve the sorting effect, the preset thickness of the materials to be sorted is more than 20 times of the lower limit of the particle size of the materials to be sorted and is less than 7 times of the upper limit of the particle size of the materials to be sorted.

S2: the sorting bed 2 is vibrated according to a preset included angle sigma and a preset amplitude through the vibrating device, the vibrating direction of the sorting bed 2 and the bed surface 21 of the sorting bed 2 form the preset included angle sigma anticlockwise, air with the air volume changing periodically according to a preset period is supplied to the sorting bed 2 through the air chamber 1, the minimum air volume of the air is not zero, and under the coupling action of the air and the vibrating device, the lower-layer materials of the materials to be sorted are expanded and gaps are generated.

The air passes through the gaps formed by the expansion of the lower layer material, so that the light particles in the lower layer material can move upwards through the gaps of the heavy particles under the action of wind power, meanwhile, the upper layer material forms a gas-solid fluidized state under the action of drag force of the air, the heavy material in the upper layer material is settled and layered according to density in the gas-solid fluidized state, and finally, the material to be separated is separated into a light material layer and a heavy material layer according to density in the thickness direction.

The preset period of the wind is proportional to the preset thickness, and specifically, the preset period T of the wind is obtained by the following formula:。

in the step, the wind speed is less than or equal to the maximum wind speed of the fluidization of the upper-layer materials, so that the problem that the upper-layer materials cannot form an effective fluidized bed layer due to overlarge wind speed can be avoided. Further, the apparent wind speed of the wind can be set according to the average density value of the materials to be sorted, and particularly, when the sorting density value of the materials to be sorted is 1.5g/cm³-1.8g/cm³When the apparent wind speed is 1.7-2.6m/s, the sorting density value of the material to be sorted is 1.8g/cm³-2.1g/cm³The apparent wind speed is 2.6-3.9 m/s. It will be appreciated that the thickness of the upper layer material in this step is the thickness of the material to be sorted minus the thickness of the lower layer material.

S3: the light material layer is discharged from the light material outlet 42 and the heavy material layer is discharged from the heavy material outlet 41.

In this embodiment, the sorting method of the present application is further described by the following parameters.

By setting the parameters, the gangue percentage in the coal discharged from the light material outlet 42 is less than 3 percent and the gangue percentage in the coal discharged from the heavy material outlet 41 is less than 3 percent through the separation of the separation device

By setting the parameters, the gangue carrying rate in the coal discharged from the light material outlet 42 is less than 5% and the gangue carrying rate in the coal discharged from the heavy material outlet 41 is less than 3% through the separation of the separation device.
