Abstract

Provided is a dry separation apparatus including: a main body; a first deck; a plurality of guides; a supply part; an air blow fan; and a vibration part. A dry separation method includes: supplying an object to be separated to a top surface of a first deck provided with a plurality of punches; sending, by an air blow fan, air to the punches (first punches); and horizontally vibrating, by a vibration part, the first deck so as to discharge particles which have different specific gravities of the object to be separated and a moveable force exerted by air passing the first punches through different passages.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A dry separation apparatus, comprising:
a main body of which a top surface is formed as an inclined surface which is inclined to one side in a front and rear direction and one side in a left and right direction, the inclined surface being opened;
a first deck seated inside the inclined surface and provided with a plurality of first punches;
a plurality of guides coupled with a top surface of the first deck;
a supply part supplying an object to be separated to the top surface of the first deck;
an air blow fan installed inside the main body and sending air to the first punch; and
a vibration part horizontally vibrating the first deck to discharge particles with a large specific gravity and particles with a small specific gravity of the object to be separated through different passages,
wherein, when corners of the first deck are indicated as a first corner, a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner in a highly placed order, the dry separation apparatus further comprises: a first ripple arranged between the second corner and the fourth corner; a second ripple arranged between the first corner and the third corner; and a blocking wall enclosing the first corner and the second corner.

2. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second deck provided between the first deck and the air blow fan and provided with a plurality of second punches which split the air sent from the air blow fan at a uniform size; and
a frame inclinedly seated inside the inclined surface in an inclined direction of the inclined surface, while having the first deck and the second deck into a top surface and a bottom surface thereof, respectively.

3. The dry separation apparatus of claim 2 , wherein in the second deck, the second punch is formed to be wider than the first punch.

4. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vibration part includes an angle control plate which is hinged with one side in a horizontal direction of the first deck and a vibration member which is installed at the angle control plate to horizontally apply a vibration.

5. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vibration part includes a piston which periodically applies a horizontally pushing force to the first deck to generate a vibration and a crank shaft which horizontally reciprocates the piston.

6. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first partition wall located near the fourth corner;
a second partition wall located between the third corner and the fourth corner;
wherein the fourth corner and the third corner are partitioned into a first discharge space by the fourth corner and the second partition wall and a second discharge space by the third corner and the second partition wall, and
the particles with the small specific gravity of the object to be separated supplied to the first deck are discharged to the first discharge space and the particles with a relatively larger specific gravity are discharged to the second discharge space.

7. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first deck has the top surface formed as a stepped surface.

8. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a suction part installed over the main body to suck dust generated during a sorting process.

9. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dry separation apparatus satisfies the following Equation 1 in a state in which a driving frequency of the air blow fan is constant and a vibration frequency applied to the first deck is constant:
CR= 0.2173 FR 2 −7.6525 FR+ 96.385  <Equation 1>

(however, CR represents a recovery rate of particles to be recovered included in the object to be separated and FR represents a supply amount of the object to be separated per hour by the supply part, in which FR=2 to 6).

10. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dry separation apparatus satisfies the following Equation 2 in a state in which a vibration frequency applied to the first deck is constant and a supply amount of the object to be separated per hour by the supply part 300 is constant:
CR= 0.0221 ABF 2 −1.4684 ABF+ 91.983  <Equation 2>

(however, CR represents a recovery rate of particles to be recovered included in the object to be separated and ABF represents a driving frequency of the air blow fan, in which ABF=30 to 60).

11. The dry separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the object to be separated is a crushed matter of a run of mine coal.
