Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen dynamischen Mischer, insbesondere für viskose Dentalmaterialien, mit:
   einem Kammerteil, mit einer Ausbringöffnung am vorderen Ende des Kammerteils, mit einem am hinteren Ende des Kammerteils angeordneten Verschlussteil mit Eintrittsöffnungen für einzubringende Einzelkomponenten sowie einer zentrischen Bohrung für ein Mischelement, das im Kammerteil um seine Längsachse drehbar ist.
The invention relates to a dynamic mixer, in particular for viscous dental materials, with:
a chamber part, with a discharge opening at the front end of the chamber part, with a closure part arranged at the rear end of the chamber part with inlet openings for individual components to be introduced, and a central bore for a mixing element which can be rotated in the chamber part about its longitudinal axis.

Beim maschinellen kontinuierlichen Anmischen von Mehrkomponentenmaterialien, beispielsweise von Klebstoffen oder dentalen Abdruckmassen, ist es üblich, je nach Konsistenz dynamische oder statische Mischer zu verwenden. Unter dem Begriff "statischer Mischer" sind solche zu verstehen, die feststehende Mischeinrichtungen beispielsweise Strömungsstifte enthalten, an denen die zu vermischenden einzelnen Materialien vorbeiströmen und sich durch Verwirbelung und anderen Störungen miteinander mischen. Unter dem Begriff "dynamischer Mischer" sind solche zu verstehen, die aktive Mischeinrichtungen beispielsweise in Form von rotierenden Mischflügeln enthalten. Bei diesen werden die zu vermischenden Bestandteile durch aktiven Transport miteinander vermischt.When continuously mixing multicomponent materials, for example of adhesives or dental impression materials, it is common, depending on the consistency dynamic or use static mixers. The term "static mixer" includes such to understand, which contain fixed mixing devices for example flow pins, which the individual materials to be mixed flow past and swirl and other interference. Under the term "dynamic mixer" are to be understood as those, the active mixing devices, for example in the form of rotating Mixing blades included. In these, the components to be mixed are replaced by active ones Transport mixed together.

Statische Mischer sind wegen des hohen Reibungsverlustes bei zähen Konsistenzen weniger geeignet, weshalb in solchen Fällen Mischer mit rotierenden Mischelementen verwendet werden.Static mixers are less with tough consistencies due to the high friction loss suitable, which is why mixers with rotating mixing elements are used in such cases.

In DE 297 05 741 U1 ist ein dynamischer Mischer für zähe Massen, insbesondere für die Komponenten von zahnärztlichen Abdruckmassen, offenbart, der einerseits mit einem Masseausbringgerät verbindbar und andererseits eine Ausbringdüse für das Gemisch bildet oder damit verbindbar ist und ein Mischrohr, eine darin umlaufend antreibbare, mit dem Mischrohr einen ringförmigen Mischkanal bildende Mischerwelle und Mischerflügel umfasst, die ausschließlich von der Mischerwelle etwa radial zur Mischrohrwand vorspringen, wobei der dynamische Mischer dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die radiale Weite des Mischkanals nicht größer als 2 mm ist.DE 297 05 741 U1 describes a dynamic mixer for viscous masses, especially for the components of dental impression materials, disclosed, on the one hand, with a mass application device connectable and on the other hand forms a discharge nozzle for the mixture or so is connectable and a mixing tube, one can be driven circumferentially therein, with the mixing tube one annular mixing channel forming mixer shaft and mixer blades, which exclusively Project from the mixer shaft approximately radially to the mixing tube wall, the dynamic mixer characterized in that the radial width of the mixing channel is not greater than Is 2 mm.

In EP 0 492 412 B1 ist ein dynamischer Mischer offenbart, der ein Gehäuse mit einem im wesentlichen zylindrischen Kammerteil umfasst, der an seinem vorderen Ende einer Ausbringöffnung für das Gemisch, einen am hinteren Ende des Kammerteils vorgesehenen Abschlusskörper mit nach hinter herausragenden Rohrzapfen zum unmittelbaren Einführen in Austrittsöffnungen von die zu mischenden Komponenten enthaltenden Vorratsbehältern, und ein in dem Kammerteil um dessen Längsachse drehbares Mischerelement aufweist, dass mit seinem hinteren Ende in einer Bohrung des Abschlusskörpers drehbar gelagert ist. Dabei ist der Abschlusskörper als Platte ausgebildet, wobei das Mischelement mindestens einen Abstreifer trägt, der mit einer in Drehrichtung nach vorne weisenden Schneidkante die vordere Fläche der Abschlussplatte überstreicht, und sich an die Schneidkante eine in Ausbringrichtung ansteigende Schrägfläche anschliesst.EP 0 492 412 B1 discloses a dynamic mixer which essentially has a housing Cylindrical chamber part includes a discharge opening at its front end for the mixture, a closing body provided at the rear end of the chamber part with protruding pipe pins behind for direct insertion into outlet openings of the storage containers containing the components to be mixed, and one in the Has chamber part rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the mixer element that with its rear End is rotatably mounted in a bore of the end body. Here is the final body formed as a plate, the mixing element at least one wiper carries, with a cutting edge pointing forward in the direction of rotation, the front surface of the Cover plate sweeps, and a rising in the discharge direction on the cutting edge Adjoining the inclined surface.

Nachteilig an diesem Mischer ist u. a. die Tatsache, dass es zu einem teilweise unkontrollierten Austreten der zu mischenden Komponenten zwischen Abschlusskörper und drehbarem Mischerelement aufgrund von Undichtigkeiten kommt. Darüber hinaus ist der Homogenisierungsgrad nicht in jedem Fall befriedigend, da sich die einzelnen Komponenten zu schnell an den am Mischerelement angeformten Mischerflügeln vorbeischieben.A disadvantage of this mixer is u. a. the fact that it is a partially uncontrolled Escape of the components to be mixed between the end body and the rotating mixer element due to leaks. In addition, the degree of homogenization not satisfactory in every case, since the individual components adapt to the Push the mixer element past the molded mixer blades.

Aus dem Vorgenannten ergibt sich das Problem, mit Hilfe eines neuartigen dynamischen Mischers die oben genannten Nachteile zumindest teilweise zu beseitigen. Das der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problem liegt insbesondere darin, einen preiswert herzustellenden dynamischen Mischer für die Einmalverwendung bei niedrigviskosen bis zähen standfesten Mehrkomponentenmaterialien zu entwickeln, der einen sehr hohen Homogenisierungs- bzw. Dichtigkeitsgrad gewährleistet.The problem arises from the above with the aid of a novel dynamic mixer to at least partially eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above. That of the invention underlying problem is, in particular, a dynamic to produce inexpensive Mixer for single use with low-viscosity to tough, stable multi-component materials to develop a very high degree of homogenization or tightness guaranteed.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäss durch einen dynamischen Mischer nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a dynamic mixer according to claim 1 solved.

Der erfindungsgemäße dynamische Mischer weist ein Kammerteil, eine Ausbringöffnung am vorderen Ende des Kammerteils, ein am hinteren Ende des Kammerteils angeordnetes Verschlussteil mit Eintrittsöffnungen für einzubringende Einzelkomponenten sowie eine zentrische Bohrung für ein Mischelement, das im Kammerteil um seine Längsachse drehbar ist, auf. Das Mischelement weist auf seiner dem Verschlussteil zugewandten Seite mindestens zwei in Längsrichtung hintereinander angeordnete Mischflügel auf, die bezüglich der Wandung des Kammerteils nicht materialabstreifend ausgestaltet sind, und die jeweils axial freie Durchlässe aufweisen, wobei in axialer Richtung die Durchlässe eines Mischflügels jeweils durch den nicht freien Teil des anderen Mischflügels abgedeckt sind. Unter dem Begriff "nicht Material abstreifend" ist die Tatsache zu verstehen, dass die eingesetzten Mischflügel nicht wandgängig sind und als Abstreifer fungieren, sondern einen gewissen Abstand zu den einzelnen Wänden einhalten. Durch die versetzte Anordnung der Mischflügel untereinander wird gewährleistet, dass vom ersten Mischflügel nicht erfasstes Material mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit vom zweiten Mischflügel erfasst, geschert und anschließend mit den anderen Komponenten vermischt wird.The dynamic mixer according to the invention has a chamber part, a discharge opening on front end of the chamber part, a closure part arranged at the rear end of the chamber part with inlet openings for individual components to be inserted and a central one Bore for a mixing element, which is rotatable in the chamber part about its longitudinal axis. The Mixing element has at least two inches on its side facing the closure part In the longitudinal direction one behind the other mixing blades arranged with respect to the wall of the Chamber part are not designed to strip material, and the axially free passages have, wherein in the axial direction the passages of a mixing wing through each not free part of the other mixing wing are covered. Under the term "not stripping material" is to understand the fact that the mixing blades used are not wall-accessible and act as a scraper, but keep a certain distance from the individual walls. The staggered arrangement of the mixing blades ensures that Material not recorded by the first mixing blade with a very high probability by the second Mixing blades are gripped, sheared and then mixed with the other components.

Am Verschlussteil ist eine das hintere Ende des Mischelementes umgreifende im wesentlichen in Längsrichtung ausgerichtete innere Hülse angeordnet, die sich nahezu bis zum ersten Mischflügel erstreckt. Die Hülse sorgt für eine Erhöhung der Statorfläche (unter dem Begriff Statorfläche" sind sämtliche stehenden festen und für die Vermischung der einzelnen Komponenten notwendigen Flächen zu verstehen) und der Dichtungsfläche (unter dem Begriff "Dichtungsfläche" sind solche Flächen zu verstehen, die ein unkontrolliertes Herausfließen der einzelnen Bestandteile bzw. der gemischen Bestandteile nach außen verhindern bzw. vermindern und so eine dichtende Funktion ausüben). Durch die Anordnung als am hinteren Ende des Mischelementes umgreifende Hülse ist eine hohe Dichtwirkung erzielbar.At the closure part there is essentially one that encompasses the rear end of the mixing element arranged in the longitudinal direction inner sleeve, which extends almost to the first Mixing wing extends. The sleeve increases the stator area (under the term Stator surface "are all fixed and for the mixing of the individual components necessary surfaces) and the sealing surface (under the term "sealing surface" are to be understood as areas that cause the individual to flow out in an uncontrolled manner Prevent or reduce constituents or the mixed constituents to the outside and thus perform a sealing function). Due to the arrangement as at the rear end of the A high sealing effect can be achieved by the sleeve encompassing the mixing element.

Zunächst ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Mischflügel in ausbringender Längsrichtung anstiegsfrei ausgebildet sind (d. h. in der Rotationsebene keine schräggestellten Flügelblätter aufweisen), da auf diese Art und Weise keine Austragswirkung bei Rotation der Mischflügel resultiert und somit das Mischelement und deren Verbindungsstelle zur Antriebsachse einer nicht allzu hohen mechanischen Belastung ausgesetzt sind. Ein Austrag wird lediglich durch Pressen in Längsrichtung des Kammerteils bewerkstelligt.First of all, it is advantageous if the mixing blades have no rise in the longitudinal direction in which they are spread are formed (i.e. have no inclined blades in the plane of rotation), because in this way there is no discharge effect when the mixing blades rotate and thus the mixing element and its connection point to the drive axis of a not too high one are exposed to mechanical stress. Discharge is only done by pressing in the longitudinal direction of the chamber part accomplished.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, dass am am hinteren Ende des Kammerteils angeordneten ersten Mischflügel in Richtung Verschlussteil in Längsrichtung derart mindestens ein Mischzapfen angeformt ist, dass das aus den Eintrittsöffnungen eintretende viskose Material zerschneidungsfrei verstrichen wird, da auf diese Art und Weise eine sehr hohe Scherungsrate ermöglicht wird.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the first arranged at the rear end of the chamber part Mixing wing molded in the direction of the closure part in the longitudinal direction such at least one mixing pin is that the viscous material entering from the inlet openings is free of cuts is elapsed, since this enables a very high shear rate.

Am Verschlussteil ist in vorteilhafter Weise mindestens ein im wesentlichen in Längsrichtung ausgerichteter innerer Zapfen angeordnet, der als Strömungsstörer zur Erhöhung der Mischwirkung dient. At least one essentially in the longitudinal direction is advantageously on the closure part Aligned inner pin arranged as a flow disruptor to increase the mixing effect serves.

Der erste Mischflügel ist in vorteilhafter Weise in ausbringender Längsrichtung kuppelförmig ausgebildet, um auf diese Art und Weise ein geringes Misch- und Totvolumen der im dynamischen Mischer verbleibenden Restmenge (nach Gebrauch) zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Mischflügel bereitzustellen.The first mixing wing is advantageously dome-shaped in the deploying longitudinal direction trained to in this way a low mixing and dead volume in dynamic Mixer remaining amount (after use) between the first and second To provide mixing blades.

Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn der erste Mischflügel innere und/oder äussere Ausnehmungen aufweist, um einen besseren Materialdurchsatz zu gewährleisten. Die inneren Ausnehmungen können beispielsweise in Form von Kreisen oder Ellipsen ausgestaltet sein, während die äusseren Ausnehmungen beispielsweise halbkreisförmige oder paraboloide Kreissegmente darstellen können.It is also advantageous if the first mixing wing has inner and / or outer recesses has to ensure a better material throughput. The inner recesses can be configured, for example, in the form of circles or ellipses, while the outer recesses, for example semicircular or parabolic circular segments can represent.

Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn der zweite Mischflügel äussere Ausnehmungen, beispielsweise in Form von Kreissegmenten aufweist, um einen höheren Materialdurchsatz zu gewährleisten.It is also advantageous if the second mixing wing, for example, outer recesses in the form of circular segments to ensure a higher material throughput.

Weiterhin weist der zweite Mischflügel in Längsrichtung des Kammerteils eine Materialverstärkung, beispielsweise in Form eines aufgedoppelten Rundkreuzes, auf, um auf diese Art und Weise eine Materialredundanz zur hohen mechanischen Belastbarkeit bereitzustellen.Furthermore, the second mixing blade has a material reinforcement in the longitudinal direction of the chamber part, for example in the form of a doubled round cross, in order in this way and Way to provide material redundancy for high mechanical resilience.

Darüber hinaus, weist das Mischelement in ausbringender Längsrichtung mindestens einen dritten Mischflügel auf, der zur weiteren Homogenisierung des auszubringenden gemischten Materials dient.In addition, the mixing element has at least one in the extending longitudinal direction third mixing paddle, the one for further homogenization of the mix to be spread Material.

Schließlich ist es von Vorteil, wenn in mindestens einer Eintrittsöffnung mindestens ein quer zur Durchlassöffnung ausgerichtetes stegförmiges Element angeordnet ist, damit eventuelle Aushärtungen beim Abnehmen des gebrauchten Mischers vom Schlauchbeutel/von der Kartusche mit herausgezogen werden.Finally, it is advantageous if in at least one inlet opening at least one transverse to the Passage-oriented web-shaped element is arranged so that any hardening when removing the used mixer from the tubular bag / cartridge be pulled out with.

Besonders bewährt haben sich stegförmige Elemente, die in Durchflussrichtung oval-, rauten-, ellipsen-, vieleck- oder kreisförmig sind.Web-shaped elements that have oval, diamond, are elliptical, polygonal or circular.

Spritzbare Kunststoffe wie Polyethylen, Polypropylen oder Polystyiol haben sich insbesondere für Gehäuse und Abschlusskörper (Kammerteil bzw. Verschlussteil) bewährt. Für den Einsatz bei zäheren Mischungen ist insbesondere beim Mischelement die Verwendung von hochwertigeren Kunststoffen wie z. B. Polyamid, Polyoximethylen oder anderen schlagzäheren Polymeren/Blends vorteilhaft. Sprayable plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene have been found in particular Proven for housing and end body (chamber part or closure part). For use in the case of tougher mixtures, in particular in the case of the mixing element, the use of higher quality is required Plastics such as B. polyamide, polyoxymethylene or other impact-resistant polymers / blends advantageous.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines nachfolgenden Beispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail using the following example.
