Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container with a Container bottom (4) arranged impeller for stirring, especially consisting of sterile liquids from an impeller head (2) with one on it arranged Ruhr tool and one of the container bottom (4) facing lower opening for receiving a Pin (6) in a central cavity (15), wherein the impeller contactless, inductive or magnetic, is drivable.
  • Such an impeller is from, for example American Patent 4,993,841 and the EP-A1 0 399 972 known.
  • the impellers have one Variety of radially outward extending Stirring blades as stirring tools.
  • a flow is generated in the container that a vortex-like in the container liquid Flow with the impeller as the center effect. So it forms above the impeller Vacuum caused by the suction of the surface of the Liquid is conical towards the Let impellers protrude.
  • the one in this area prevailing negative pressure is undesirable since it is the Gas entry into the liquid favors and at some liquids cause foam.
  • the object of the invention is a different flow in To produce containers that also have a has improved mixing and stirring effects.
  • the stirring tool is designed as a propeller, one of Tank bottom away upward flow generating direction of rotation, and in the near Bottom area arranged additionally flow-generating surfaces are provided, the one deviating from the flow caused by the propeller directed flow downwards or sideways let arise.
  • the one in the center Negative pressure zone is created by the upward flow more than compensated, so that an undesired gas entry is avoided. Foaming effects are reduced.
  • By the opposite flow in the lower area the axial forces of the propeller become partial compensated. The life expectancy of the bearings will advantageously increased.
  • the lower flow-generating surfaces as wings are formed on the impeller.
  • the size of the wing can affect the impeller acting axial forces almost completely compensated will.
  • the measure that between the central cavity and the outer surface at least one connecting Line is provided serves the interior Cavity of the impeller is constantly filled with liquid rinse, which makes cleaning the impeller easier.
  • the best stirring effect is achieved when the Propeller a distance to the bottom Impeller end face that the simple to corresponds to twice the diameter of the propeller, preferably corresponds to 11 ⁇ 2 times.
  • FIG 1 denotes the drive shaft of one further detailed drive unit of a Impeller head 2, which on a shaft end 20 as Stirring tool with several propellers Propeller blades 3 carries.
  • the impeller head 2 is in the arranged lower part of a container, the lower Container wall 4 in broken lines is shown.
  • a Mounting flange 5 welded to the inside of the Container pointing a pin 6 and inside is hollow.
  • the mounting flange 5 is usually made of non-magnetic Made of steel.
  • the upper part of the pin 6 is as cylindrical seat 8 of a bearing 9 shaped. camp 9 serves for rotatably fixing the impeller head 2 with the seat turned 10.
  • Inside the Impeller head 2 are the magnetic disk 7 opposite a number opposite Polarized permanent magnets 11 arranged so that through the magnetic forces between Magnetic disk 7 and the permanent magnet 11th torque from drive shaft 1 without contact Impeller head 2 can be transferred.
  • the lower end face 12 of the impeller 2 is through Correspondingly milled grooves 13 shaped so that when the impeller head 2 is turned there is a pumping effect.
  • Figure 2 shows a horizontal section of the Impeller head according to section line II-II in Figure 1, the parts on the container side for the sake of clarity are not shown.
  • the grooves 13 are shown. Through the one paddle wheel similar arrangement of the grooves 13 results when rotating of the impeller head 2 in the direction of arrow 14 Pump effect, the one from cavity 15 of the impeller head 2 outward flow generated by Arrows 16 is indicated. It is supplemented from the central cavity 13 aspirated liquid through the the cavity 15 with the surface 19 of the Impeller head 2 connecting line 17.
  • the propeller blades 3 are set so that when turning the impeller head due to the stirring forces a downward axial force forms as Reactive force of a vertically upward Flow.
