Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for mixing a substance with water or some other similar liquid.
  • Water or some other liquid is usually mixed with the substance, which is in solid or liquid form, in special mixing vessels for the subsequent dispensing of the mixture to desired specific consumption points.
  • the substance which is in solid or liquid form
  • special mixing vessels for the subsequent dispensing of the mixture to desired specific consumption points.
  • Time will be lost in this way if it is necessary to wait until the mixing process has first been completed before any part of it can be dispensed. This may cause a process to be delayed if it is first necessary to wait until the mixing process is complete.
  • An alternative is to provide a reservoir containing the finished mixture of the substance and liquid, although this is an extra item which will make the final product more expensive and will require more personnel, space and equipment for the purpose. If it is then wished to mix different substances, for example with water, this will call for an organized storage system for the finished mixtures and will impose an even greater space requirement.
  • the principal object of the present invention is thus, in the first instance, to solve the aforementioned problems, among others, by simple and effective means.
  • the aforementioned object is achieved by means of a method in accordance with the present invention, which is characterized essentially in that the mixing process is so arranged as to take place inside a mixing vessel which is arranged separately from a receiving vessel intended for subsequent receiving of the mixture, in that water is so arranged as to be introduced tangentially into the mixing vessel via a mixing unit to form a vortex internally in the aforementioned mixing unit, in conjunction with which the flow through a passage between the mixing vessel and the receiving vessel is prevented, in that the mixture is so arranged as to be introduced into the receiving vessel , after the mixing process in the mixing vessel is complete, before the mixture is caused to be transported to the intended consumption point.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for the implementation of a method for mixing in accordance with the invention.
  • Previously disclosed mixing arrangements are not suitable for use because, in order to ensure that complete mixing takes place, they require advance preparation of the mixing process and the provision of a storage facility for this purpose.
  • a further object of the invention is thus also to make available an arrangement, which, among other things, solves the aforementioned problems by effective and simple means.
  • a mixing vessel is positioned separately from a receiving vessel for the finished mixture, in that a mixing unit is arranged adjacent to the aforementioned mixing vessel, in that openings are provided which lead to the aforementioned mixing unit, in that the mixing unit comprises a supply channel for the supply of water, and in that the aforementioned supply channel discharges into a centrally located chamber and extends tangentially from the supply opening for water through an enclosing wall and an annular flange formed in the aforementioned mixing unit for the purpose of creating a vortex which is so arranged as to prevent flow from the mixing vessel to the receiving vessel, in that a passage leads between the aforementioned mixing vessel and the receiving vessel, and in that a pump or some other means of transport is present, which is so arranged as to cause the mixture to be transported from the receiving vessel as far as the intended point of consumption.
  • the method and the arrangement in accordance with the present invention comprise a number of communicating vessels consisting of a mixing part and a receiving vessel. These are in turn connected to one another via a connection or lead-through. These vessels are positioned inside one another for practical reasons, although the design could equally consist of two vessels positioned alongside one another or even with a shared partition wall.
  • the connection between the vessels is closed when the mixing process is taking place, and the connection is open when the mixing process is not taking place.
  • the idea of invention is to make this possible entirely without valves or other mechanical closing arrangement.
  • the invention is intended for application to mixing vessels in which the mixing process takes place and to receiving vessels to which the finished mixture is led after mixing, which, as stated above, are situated optionally at a distance from one another as required or are closely connected to one another.
  • the example described below is only one example of closely packed mixing vessels and receiving vessels, although all solutions in respect of positioning are thus possible in accordance with the invention.
  • a method for achieving effective mixing of a number of substances 1, 1 1 , 1 2 , 1 3 , ... with water 2 or with some other similar liquid proceeds in such a way that the mixing process is so arranged as to take place in a separate mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ..., which is arranged separately from a mixture receiving vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 ... intended to receive the mixture 4, 4 1 , 4 2 , 4 3 .
  • the aforementioned mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 is arranged in such a way that the mixture 4 ... is so arranged, after the mixing process is finished, as to be supplied to separate holding vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 .
  • Means 6 are also provided in the form of, in the first instance, pumps or other means of transport, which are caused to transport the mixture 4 to the intended point of consumption, such as a washing station for vehicles, a textile washing plant or some other cleaning or processing plant.
  • This mixing process is so arranged as to be performed by accurately pumping in a specific quantity of, for example, a concentrated solution, after which the actual mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 3 is filled with water 2.
  • the entire process takes place inside a closed unit with an inlet for water 2 and an outlet for the mixture 4, for example industrial solutions for degreasing, alkaline and neutral shampoo, foam and wax and micro-emulsion.
  • the invention is not restricted to the example described above, but the receiving vessel may contain a finished mixed liquid instead of an industrial solution or a washing solution, and emptying can also take place with the help of gravity.
  • the mixing process is so arranged as to be capable of taking place regardless of the number of occasions on which the mixture 4 ... is emptied from the respective receiving vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 .
  • the mixing process is so arranged as to take place when the level inside the receiving vessel is low.
  • the emptying process is interrupted in accordance with the illustrated example while the mixing process takes place, i.e. with this design mixing will take place automatically between two emptying occasions, although as already stated this is not a condition.
  • the system thus requires the possibility of mixing more rapidly than the average rate of consumption from the receiving vessel. Because mixing takes place in batches, any remaining liquid below the low level indicator must accordingly be greater than the quantity which can be consumed while the mixing process takes place.
  • mixing may only take place when the washing machine in question is not pumping any mixed industrial solution, and the mixing process must accordingly be completed between two successive emptying occasions.
  • the receiving vessels 5 ... Upon reaching the level which triggers mixing in the respective mixing vessel 3..., the receiving vessels 5 ... must also contain at least one ready-mixed washing dose, since mixing cannot commence until after the corresponding pumping time has elapsed or the quantity of finished mixture has been pumped out.
  • the mixing process is thus so arranged as to start, for example, when a meter 7, 8 indicates that a certain quantity of the mixture 4 ...
  • An arrangement 11 for implementing a method in accordance with the present invention for the purpose of achieving mixing of a substance 1, 1 1 , 1 2 , 1 3 , ... with water 2 or with some other similar liquid comprises one or more mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ... which is/are situated at a distance from receiving vessels 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 , for example the mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 is situated at a level above a receiving vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 ... and a mixing unit 12 is arranged in conjunction with the aforementioned mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ....
  • openings 13-16 which lead to the aforementioned mixing unit 12, either leading into its inside or through it.
  • a passage 17 is provided which runs between the aforementioned mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ... and, for example, a subjacent receiving vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 ..., preferably in the form of a centrally located hole with a connected pipe in the bottom 18 of the aforementioned mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ... and internally in the mixing unit 12.
  • a pump 6 or some other suitable means of transport which is so arranged as to cause the mixture to be transported from the receiving vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 ... concerned to the intended point of consumption.
  • the aforementioned mixing unit 12 is arranged on the bottom 18 of the aforementioned mixing vessel 3, 3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 ... with a drain pipe 19 for the mixture and leading to an aforementioned subjacent receiving vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 ..., for example through the mixing unit 12.
  • the mixing unit 12 is preferably designed as a separate or fixed annular unit with a centrally located chamber 20, which is closed in an upward direction 21 and is attached to the bottom 18 of the mixing vessel 3, and the drain pipe 19 discharges from the aforementioned chamber 20 through the bottom 18 and down to the receiving vessel 5, 5 1 , 5 2 , 5 3 ..., which in this case functions as a mixture receiving vessel.
  • the mixing unit 12 comprises a supply channel 23 which is intended for the supply of water 2, and the aforementioned supply channel 23 discharges into the centrally located chamber 20 extending tangentially from the supply opening 14 for water 2 through an enclosing wall 24 in a formed annular flange 28 in the aforementioned unit 12.
