Description

Gas current classifying separator
The present invention relates to a kind of gas flow sizing machine that is used for the classification powder, this machine rotates the powder of sending into grading room at a high speed, is divided into fine silt class and coarse dust class (or medium powder class) under the action of the centrifugal, thereby finishes the classification of powder.
When the powder stock that enters classification was fluidized in above-mentioned grading room in rotary manner, centrifugal force and direction air drag inwardly acted on each particle of powder stock, and the balance of centrifugal force and air drag has been determined classification point (being critical granularity).
Bigger particle in outer sideway swivel in grading room, and smaller particles sideway swivel within it.Central authorities and periphery in the grading room bottom are provided with the powder outlet respectively, can collect fine silt and coarse dust (classification) respectively.
In such grader, importantly powder stock fully scatters the grading room planted agent, to improve effectiveness of classification.
As this grader, Iitani system level machine or Kura cyclone (Kuracyclon) have been arranged.Yet the grader of this form is difficult to control classification point, is included in to occur degree of scatter difference and the such problem of effectiveness of classification difference under the high dust concentration situation.For addressing the above problem, people once proposed various schemes.For example, resemble Japan Patent prospectus 54-48378,54-79870 or US Patent specification 4,221,655 schemes that disclosed.As a kind of practical especially grader, to mention the commercially available grader that a kind of name is called the DS grader herein.In this grader, though might control the classification point, because powder is to enter into grading room by a whirlwind district, powder was assembled before entering grading room, thereby the degree of scatter of powder often can not be satisfactory.Therefore, the efficient of grader is reduced.Further specify one type of prior art syringe referring now to the Fig. 5 in the accompanying drawing and Fig. 6.
Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of prior-art devices appearance, and Fig. 6 is the constructed profile of prior-art devices.
In Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, gas flow sizing machine has a main casing 1, a lower house 2 that links to each other with above-mentioned housing 1 bottom and the discharge bucket 3 in lower house 2 bottoms.At grading room 4 of main casing 1 inner formation.There are 10, one feeding cylinders 9 of a vertical guide tube to link to each other with above-mentioned guide cylinder 10 outer peripheral edges tops on the top of main casing 1.The cloth guide plate 15 that a taper (umbrella shape), middle body exceed is equipped with in bottoms in the guide cylinder 10, forms an annular entry 11 at above-mentioned cloth guide plate 15 neighboring lower edges.The graded plate 5 that a taper (umbrella shape), middle body exceed is housed in grading room 4 bottoms, forms the coarse dust outlet 6 of a ring-type, form a fine silt outlet 7 at the middle body of this graded plate 5 at these graded plate 5 neighboring lower edges.Outer peripheral edges in grading room perisporium bottom have an air flow inlet 8 that air is introduced.Usually, this air inflow aperture 8 is seen Figure 15 A and 15B by some foliaceous shutter board 14() between the gap constitute.Direction by air flow inlet 8 leaked-in airs can make air-flow can drop to the direction of rotation ejection of the powder in the grading room 4 along rotation by 14 controls of classification shutter board.Above-mentioned air spreads out powder stock, and the rotary speed of powder quick raw material.

In these accompanying drawings, grader has a main casing 201, a lower house 202 that links to each other with above-mentioned housing 201 bottoms and a discharge bucket 203 that is positioned at the lower house bottom, the main casing 201 inner grading rooms 204 that form.There are 210, one feeding cylinders 209 of a perpendicular guide to link to each other with the upper periphery surface of this guide cylinder on main casing 201 tops.The oriented plate 215 that a middle body exceeds is equipped with in the bottom of guide cylinder 210, and the periphery lower edge of guide plate 215 forms the feed entrance 211 of a ring-type.
Strengthen the diameter of guide plate 215, thereby feed entrance 211 is made of partly the outer peripheral portion of guide plate 215, the inwall of main casing 201 and the most peripheral of grading room 204.
Be provided with the inclination graded plate 205 that a middle body exceeds in the bottom of grading room 204, graded plate 205 periphery lower edges form ring-type coarse dust outlet 206, have formed fine silt outlet 207 at the middle body of graded plate 205.
Be provided with an air flow inlet 8 on the perisporium outer rim of the bottom of grading room 204, as shown in figure 14, this air flow inlet 8 is made of the gap between some foliaceous classification shutter boards 14 usually.
In addition, an air flow inlet 12 is arranged on the outer rim of grading room 204 top perisporiums.
In addition; narrower by the aperture that makes fine silt outlet 207 than the internal diameter of fine silt drainage conduit 216; and to make fine silt outlet 207 apertures and the ratio of graded plate 205 external diameters be 10-25%; can strengthen from the distance of the outer thoughtful fine silt outlet 207 of graded plate 205; prevent that coarse dust is blended in the isolated fine silt; thereby make isolated powder average particle size particle size littler, make its particle size distribution more accurate.
Preferably the aperture of fine silt outlet 207 is 20-25% with the ratio of the external diameter of graded plate 205, the aperture ratio is less than 20%, then the pressure loss can become big, air capacity by fine silt drainage conduit 216 is reduced, thus caused making powder stock to scatter and by air flow inlet 8 and 12 the rotation leaked-in airs undesirable minimizing appears.
And, be 30 °-60 ° by the angle of inclination that makes graded plate 205, distance can be strengthened, thereby the effect same in fine silt outlet 207 apertures can be obtained reducing from the outer peripheral edges of graded plate 205 to fine silt outlet 207.
In grader of the present invention, various particles are fully scattered in grading room, so the classification efficiency height, thereby have accurate particle size distribution with all kinds of powders that grader of the present invention is told.Compare with existing gas flow sizing machine, its classification efficiency is higher.Grader of the present invention might make isolated particle diameter littler than the isolated particle diameter of existing grader institute.
Shown in Fig. 7 flow chart, gas flow sizing machine of the present invention can link to each other with a pulverizer effectively.In this situation, the raw material of having pulverized to be delivered in the gas flow sizing machine of the present invention, the coarse dust that is equal to or greater than the regulation particle size is delivered in the pulverizer, delivers in the said flow grader after the pulverizing again.Be crushed to the regulation particle size or taken out from gas flow sizing machine by a suitable withdrawing device less than the powder of this size.For this class pulverizing-hierarchy system, the powder degree of scatter is unsatisfied in the gas flow sizing machine grading room in the prior art systems, thus the agglomerate that the agglomerate of being formed by very thin particle or the attached knot of fine grained will be formed on coarse granule separately or loose opening be difficult.This agglomerate is infiltrated the coarse granule class again and is delivered to once more in the pulverizer during classification, cause unnecessary pulverizing, thereby has reduced crush efficiency.For solving this class problem, in gas flow sizing machine of the present invention, because the powder in the grading room 4 fully scatters, above-mentioned agglomerate can loose off, unlikely infiltrating in the coarse dust class, and fine particle is drained as fine silt, so further raising crush efficiency.
When dust concentration was higher in, the grading room less when powder particle size, grader of the present invention had more obvious effect.Particle size range is 10 microns or especially effective when thinner; The use that links to each other with pulverizer, its effect will be better.
Grader of the present invention is applicable to the powder of toner, powdery paints, magnetic material and polymeric material of classification and preparation electrostatic development and so on, and it is fine grained that its final products require.
As gas flow sizing machine, the present invention is particularly useful for preparing the toner of electrostatic development, and it is easy to be subjected to the effect of electrostatic force and conglomeration.
The final products of the toner of electrostatic development are that fine powder is granular, and requiring has accurate particle size distribution, from wherein taking the particle of given size or smaller szie away.For taking the particle of given size or smaller szie away, the effectiveness of classification of the gas flow sizing machine of Fig. 5 or system shown in Figure 6 is unsafty, and the particle size distribution of broad is often arranged in its resulting product.
Even can obtain the product of accurate particle size distribution in the grader of prior art, but the low cost that causes of classification efficiency increases.On the contrary, use grader of the present invention, the degree of scatter of powder is satisfied in the grading room, and coarse dust can separate with fine silt effectively, thereby obtains the graded product (as the product as toner) that accurate dimension distributes under the condition that does not lower efficiency.
