Definitions
- the present invention relates to a viscous liquid processor and, more particularly, to a viscous liquid processor which includes two horizontal shafts.

Consequently, the viscous liquid processor of this continuous type has a characteristic that the degree of reaction varies in accordance with the position of the flowing material in the course from the inlet to the outlet.
- a horizontal viscous liquid processor of the batch type is structured in such a manner that one dose of a material to be processed, which has been calculated previously, is fed into a casing, and discharged to the outside after a desired process has been completed, another dose of the material being fed into the casing anew (see Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 49-73759 and the like). Therefore, the viscous liquid processor of this batch type has a characteristic that the degree of reaction varies in accordance with the length of processing time, so that it will be preferred that the material at any poosition in the casing can be simultaneously reacted uniformly in a certain length of processing time.
- a viscous liquid processor requires such functions as uniform shearing and agitation of viscous liquid, circulation or delivery of the liquid in one direction, cooperative scraping of the liquid by agitator blades (self-cleaning), replacement of the liquid surface, and the like.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a viscous liquid processor and, more particularly, to a viscous liquid processor which includes two horizontal shafts.
- In general, viscous liquid processors of this kind are roughly classified into a continuous type and a batch type. A horizontal viscous liquid processor of the continuous type is structured in such a manner that a material to be processed is supplied from an inlet provided on one longitudinal end of a casing, moves toward an outlet provided on the other longitudinal end (making so-called piston flows) while the degree of reaction or the like is increased, and is discharged from the outlet after a desired process has been completed (see Japanese Patent Examined Publication No. 47-27179, Japanese Utility Model Examined Publication Nos. 51-45559 and 54-5805, Japanese Patent Examined Publication Nos. 61-59173 and 62-50179, and the like). Consequently, the viscous liquid processor of this continuous type has a characteristic that the degree of reaction varies in accordance with the position of the flowing material in the course from the inlet to the outlet.
- On the other hand, a horizontal viscous liquid processor of the batch type is structured in such a manner that one dose of a material to be processed, which has been calculated previously, is fed into a casing, and discharged to the outside after a desired process has been completed, another dose of the material being fed into the casing anew (see Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 49-73759 and the like). Therefore, the viscous liquid processor of this batch type has a characteristic that the degree of reaction varies in accordance with the length of processing time, so that it will be preferred that the material at any poosition in the casing can be simultaneously reacted uniformly in a certain length of processing time.
- Whether it is of the continuous type or of the batch type, a viscous liquid processor requires such functions as uniform shearing and agitation of viscous liquid, circulation or delivery of the liquid in one direction, cooperative scraping of the liquid by agitator blades (self-cleaning), replacement of the liquid surface, and the like. However, there has conventionally been no viscous liquid processor in which these functions, especially the shearing/agitation function and the liquid delivering function can be simultaneously effected by means of disk-like agitator blades having a structure as simple as possible.
- The present invention has been accomplished to solve the problems of the conventional techniques. It can be summarized as follows: a viscous liquid processor comprising a horizontal casing which includes side walls on both longitudinal ends thereof, two shafts extending in parallel within the casing along its longitudinal direction and rotatably supported between the side walls, and a plurality of agitator blades fixed on each of the shafts and spaced along its longitudinal direction so that the blades on one shaft enter the spaces between the blades on the other shaft, the casing having a bottom portion corresponding to the tracks of the outer peripheral ends of the agitator blades, wherein each of the agitator blades is generally formed in a thick disk-like configuration having a plurality of thick blade members, such a thick blade member having a parallelogrammic cross section.

- The structure and operation of a batch-type viscous liquid processor according to a first embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to Figs. 1 to 9.
- This embodiment is a batch-type viscous liquid processor including two horizontal shafts for agitating viscous liquid of high-molecular polymer or the like for the purpose of a process such as polycondensation, bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, gas-liquid reaction and monomer degradation.
- In these drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a casing which has a bottom portion corresponding to the tracks of outer peripheral ends of agitator blades which will be explained later. At the center of this bottom portion, a rib 1a is formed along the longitudinal direction of the casing 1. A low-
speed shaft 2 and a high-speed shaft 3 extending in parallel are provided horizontally between and throughside walls 1b on both longitudinal ends of the casing 1, and theshafts shafts - A low-
speed agitator blade 4 is of a shape as shown in Fig. 4. An odd-number (e.g., five) of such blades at different phases are securely fixed on the low-speed shaft 2 so as to form a tandem pattern. Each of the low-speed agitator blades 4 is constituted of a plurality of (e.g., four) radiallysectorial blade members 5 which are made by machining the intermediate portions cut away from a thick disk at the same intervals. A jacket through which a thermal medium flows is formed on the inside of each of thesectorial blade members 5 if necessary. As illustrated in Fig. 7, the cross section of thesectorial blade member 5 is formed to be a parallelogram so that the leading end of the blade member as viewed in a direction of rotation of the low-speed agitator blade 4 defines an acute angle, and that the opposite end of the same end surface as the leading end defines an obtuse angle. The acute-angled end serves as ashearing edge 5a, and its inclined surface has a liquid delivering function to an, extent of a thickness (h) thereof. The low-speed agitator blades 4 are each securely fixed on the low-speed shaft 2 through aboss 6. - Further, one end of a
scraper rod 7 is fastened on the trailing outer peripheral end of eachsectorial blade member 5 of the low-speed agitator blade 4 as viewed in the direction of rotation, and the other end of thescraper rod 7 is fastened on the leading outer peripheral end of eachsectorial blade member 5 of theadjacent agitator blade 4. Thus,such scraper rods 7 are located in a continuous spiral pattern. - On the other hand, an even-number (e.g., eight) of high-
speed agitator blades speed shaft 3 so as to form a tandem pattern. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, each of the high-speed agitator blades 8 is constituted of a plurality of (e.g., two) wide sectorial blade members 10 (Fig. 5), which are substantially the same as the above-mentionedsectorial blade members 5, formed by machining the intermediate portions cut away from a thick disk, and each of the high-speed agitator blades 9 is constituted a plurality of (e.g., two) small blade members 11 (Fig. 6) having a substantially rectangular shape which are formed by further machining the sectorial blade members. Theagitator blades speed shaft 3 through a boss 13a in such a manner that theblade members blade members blade member speed agitator blade sectorial blade member 5 for low-speed agitation. Side surfaces of theseblade members sectorial blade member 5 of the low-speed agitator blade 4. - Further, one end of a
scraper rod 12 is fastened on the trailing outer peripheral end of eachsmall blade member 11 of the high-speed agitator blade 9 as viewed in the direction of rotation, and the other end of thescraper rod 12 is fastened on the trailing outer peripheral end of eachsectorial blade member 10 of theadjacent agitator blade 8 as viewed in the direction of rotation, while no scraper rod is provided between asectorial blade member 10 and asmall blade member 11 which are adjacent to each other with the above-mentioned low-speed agitator blade 4 interposed therebetween. Thus,such scraper rods 12 are located in a discontinuous spiral pattern whose lead has the same direction as the lead of the spiral pattern formed by thescraper rods 7 of the low-speed shaft 2. Thesectorial blade members 5 of the low-speed agitator blades 4 are located between suchunconnected blade members blade members speed agitator blades scraper rods 12 are relatively rotatably provided between thesectorial blade members 5 of two adjacent low-speed agitator blades 4. The condition of these blade members which are rotated across each other when they are viewed from theside wall 1b is illustrated in an area A of Fig. 2. - Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Highly viscous liquid to be processed is fed into the casing 1 until it substantially reaches a level of the shaft center. When a motor (not shown) is activated, rotation of the motor is transmitted through appropriate reduction gears (not shown) to the low-
speed shaft 2 and the high-speed shaft 3 so that theseshafts speed shaft 2 and the high-speed shaft 3 will not be restricted to those of this embodiment. It can be arranged that each agitator blade of the high-speed shaft 3 has two blade members or more, and that each agitator blade of the low-speed shaft 2 has an integer times as many blade members as the agitator blade of the high-speed shaft 3, with the rotational ratio being set to be an inverse number of the number of the blade members. - Then, as illustrated in the area A of Fig. 2, the
sectorial blade members 5 of the low-speed agitator blades 4 and theblade members speed agitator blades scraper rods shearing edges sectorial blade members 5 of the low-speed agitator blades 4 and thesectorial blade members 10 and thesmall blade members 11 of the high-speed agitator blades shafts blade members scraper rods - Experiments of the first embodiment were conducted as follows:
- Diameter of a disk for an agitator blade: 134 mm
Size of a casing: 236 mmW x 168 mmH x 612 mmL
Liquid quantity: 5.6 ℓ
Reaction temperature: 330°C max
Viscous liquid: A polyester resin in an intermediate state to be further polymerized and collected as a highly polymerized resin. - According to results of the test, desired effects such as agitation/stirring efficiency, self-cleaning effciency and surface replacement efficiency were obtained from the present invention.
- A second embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a continuous-type viscous liquid processor will now be described.
- Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate the second embodiment, and the same component parts as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals in these drawings, explanation of such component parts being omitted except for the differences.
- In this embodiment, an inlet is formed on one of the
side walls 1b of the casing 1 (left in Fig. 11), and an outlet is formed on the other (right in Fig. 11), so that highly viscous liquid supplied from the inlet is processed while it is continuously delivered in a direction indicated by arrows a′ in the drawing, and is discharged from the outlet. - The low-
speed shaft 2 is provided with low-speed agitator blades 4A each includingsectorial blade members 5A which are substantially the same as the low-speed agitator blades 4 of the first embodiment described above, and the high-speed shaft 3 is provided with high-speed agitator blades 14 in a tandem pattern each includingsectorial blade members 10A similar to thesectorial blade members 10 of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 5, with the inclined surfaces of thesectorial blade members 5A of the low-speed agitator blades 4A being inclined in the same direction as the inclined surfaces of thesectorial blade members 10A of the high-speed agitator blades 14. Further,scraper rods 15 are fastened on the outer peripheral ends of thesectorial blade members 5A of the low-speed agitator blades 4A so as to form a continuous spiral pattern in the same manner as the first embodiment. On the other hand, each of the high-speed agitator blades 14 is securely fixed on the high-speed shaft 3 at a phase deviated from a phase of the adjacent agitator blade at an angle of 90°C, and one end of ascraper rod 16 is fastened on the leading outer peripheral end of eachsectorial blade member 10A of the high-speed agitator blade 14 as viewed in a direction of rotation, while the other end of thescraper rod 16 is fastened on the leading outer peripheral end of eachsectorial blade member 10A of theadjacent agitator blade 14,such scraper rods 12 being located in a discontinuous spiral pattern. With this arrangement, the viscous liquid supplied from the inlet will be continuously agitated and stirred, traveling in the direction of the arrows a toward the outlet. - In the embodiments described heretofore, each low-speed agitator blade has four
sectorial blade members blade members - Besides, the low-
speed shaft 2 and the high-speed shaft 3 extending in parallel are rotated in such a manner that the agitator blades on both shafts will agitate the liquid between these shafts from the upper side in the above embodiments. However, the low-speed shaft 2 and the high-speed shaft 3 may be rotated the other way round to cause the agitator blades to agitate the liquid between these shafts from the lower side. - According to the present invention, since the agitator blades on both shafts are rotated to agitate the viscous liquid between the two shafts from the upper or lower side, the viscous liquid between the shafts is pressed against the casing. Each of the inclined surfaces of the sectorial blade members made of machined disks serves to deliver the liquid to an extent of the thickness thereof, and the opposite inclined surface draws the liquid due to the negative pressure generated thereon. As a result, agitation and stirring of the viscous liquid can be performed with such a simple arrangement, and stirring of the viscous liquid can be further promoted by shearing the liquid by means of the leading edges of the sectorial blade members each of which defines an acute angle.
- Moreover, each of the agitator blades is thick, so that a jacket for thermal treatment can be formed within the agitator blade.
- Furthermore, because each of the blade members has a cross section of a parallelogram, the surfaces of the blade member are smooth and flat, thereby preventing the viscous liquid from adhering to the blade surfaces, while enabling effective scraping by the scraper rods.
