Definitions
- the invention relates to a ball mill with a housing which houses a carrier device with grinding stations in a grinding chamber and can be closed with a housing cover, in particular a planetary or centrifugal ball mill on a laboratory scale, according to the generic part of claim 1.
- Lab scale ball mills are used for a wide range of applications, in particular for crushing and mixing samples and for mechanical alloying.
- An overview of common laboratory mills can be found on the applicant's website at www.fritsch.de.
- grinding bowls are arranged eccentrically to a center axis and move on a circular orbit about the center axis. As a result of the rotation of the grinding bowls, a centrifugal force directed radially outwards is exerted on the grinding stock.
- planetary ball mills are based on creating a combined orbital and rotational motion for the grinding bowls by additional rotation about the grinding bowl axis in the laboratory system.
- the drive of the grinding bowls in a planetary ball mill thus causes an absolute rotational movement of the grinding bowl about its own axis, the receiving or planetary axis, so that in a planetary ball mill compared to a centrifugal ball mill a significantly larger, further centrifugal component is generated. This is superimposed on the centrifugal component, which is generated by the circulation of the grinding bowls about the center axis. Finally, the Coriolis effect is also effective. These three forces result in the planetary ball mill a resulting force field to which the grinding balls and the ground material are exposed.
- a planetary ball mill With certain dimensions of the rotating parts and certain rotational speeds trajectories for the grinding balls are generated in a planetary ball mill.
- the grinding balls then move across the grinding bowl until they impinge on the inner wall of the grinding bowl. Thereafter, the grinding balls are taken along the inner circumference of the grinding bowl until the resulting force again ensures that the above-described transverse movement takes place and grinding balls perform a flight movement through the grinding bowl.
- This is also referred to as "Wurfregime”.
- a planetary ball mill can achieve a significantly better grinding effect at higher speeds.
- Such laboratory planetary ball mills are usually built with one, two or four grinding stations.
- the grinding stations are rotatably mounted as planets on a sun disk, which is designed as a support device for the grinding stations, wherein the carrier device rotates relative to the housing.
- the grinding stations each include one Receiving device and at least one grinding vessel which is mounted in the receiving device.
- the receiving devices are arranged completely above the carrier device and are mounted in a flying manner on the carrier device.
- An example of such a planetary ball mill with a grinding station and a leveling compound is sold under the brand name "pulverisette® 6" (see www.fritsch.de) and is in the DE 197 12 905 C2 described. Another example is shown in the Japanese document JP-A-05146698 ,
- the known mills have a housing to house the carrier device with the grinding stations, the drive and the control of the mill. Due to the structural design with the cantilevered receiving devices above the carrier device, the vertical extent of the movable or rotating parts is already relatively large. In addition, the grinding jars are clamped with screw terminals, which again need space upwards. On the other hand, the rotating parts should be completely enclosed within the housing for safety reasons. Therefore, in these ball mills, the grinding space, ie the interior of the housing housing the rotating parts, must be relatively bulky. In order to reach the grinding jars when the mill is at a standstill, the mill has a large, essentially scoop-shaped pivot lid, which is swung open to the top.
- the opening is done manually and allows access to the entire carrier device, in particular all grinding stations at the same time, which may be difficult for the user to distinguish at several grinding stations, especially if the same grinding jars are used. As a result, incorrect operation, eg with different ground material in the grinding stations possible.
- a disadvantage of this case is also the large footprint already the case in the closed state, even more in the open state. Also, the opened lid can be annoying when accessing the grinding jars.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a ball mill, which allows the standard user as possible only the necessary intervention options in the operation of the mill to reduce operating errors and ensures a particularly high level of simplicity of operation, especially in terms of access on the grinding jars.
- the invention provides a ball mill, in particular a planetary or centrifugal ball mill on a laboratory scale, which comprises a housing that houses the functional components, in particular the rotating parts of the mill.
- the support device rotates in operation within an interior in the housing relative to this about a center axis, on which the support device is rotatably mounted.
- the carrier device furthermore has at least one grinding station with a receiving device for at least one grinding vessel, which in operation rotates about a receiving axis, preferably opposite to the carrier device, and at the same time is carried by the latter as "planet" in an orbit about the center axis or "sun".
- the absolute speed ratio i.
- the millbase is filled together with grinding balls in the grinding vessel, wherein the term "grinding balls” is not limited to spherical grinding media, but comprises grinding bodies of different shapes. This is basically familiar to the person skilled in the art.
- Each grinding vessel comprises a grinding bowl, which can be closed with a grinding bowl lid and fixed in the receiving device in order to make the mill ready for operation and to grind the material to be ground in the grinding vessel.
- the housing defines and encloses the interior space in which the carrier device rotates with the grinding stations. This interior is referred to here as "grinding room” and is not to be confused with the interior of the grinding vessels.
- the housing has a housing cover, which can be opened in the idle state of the mill to allow the user access to at least one grinding station to insert a grinding vessel in the receiving device or to remove from this.
- the housing cover is convertible from an open to a closed position and vice versa, wherein in the open position access to the user is made possible on at least one grinding vessel and the ball mill can be operated in the closed position.

- the cutout lid part at least one of the two cover parts, which is referred to below as the cutout lid part, a cutout, which in the open position, the access opening for the user to the grinding station or a section the carrier device defines and the other cover part, which is also referred to below as the closure lid part, closes the cutout by relative displacement to the cutout, preferably in the plane of rotation of the carrier device.
- the lid according to the invention is considerably more space-saving and user-friendly. Furthermore, the two-part lid according to the invention can be driven automatically with low design effort motor, which further improves the ease of use.
- the two lid parts are thus rotated to open and close parallel to the plane of rotation of the carrier device or coaxially to the center axis relative to each other.
- the two cover parts are preferably hat-shaped with an upper end face and an at least partially encircling edge, wherein the two cut cylindrical hat shapes mesh suitable rotatable and thus at least partially lie flat against each other.
- the cutout extends at least in the end face and optionally beyond the annular connecting edge between the end face and the edge, so that optionally also a portion of the edge is cut out.
- the two lid parts are each cut sector-like and the cutouts are brought by relative rotation of the two lid parts to each other in overlap to define the open position and access through the access opening to the Grinding station release.
- the non-cut portion of the closure lid part covers the cutout of the cut-out lid part and vice versa.
- the cutout lid part preferably has a sector cutout of greater than 45 degrees, preferably greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, preferably of 150 degrees ⁇ 30 degrees.
- the non-cut portion of the closure lid part is larger than the sector cutout.
- the two sector lid parts can be similarly shaped each with a sector cut slightly smaller than 180 degrees to provide the largest possible access opening in the open position and yet in the closed position, the two sections mutually completely close.
- the term "sector" is not to be understood in the mathematically strict sense.
- the cutouts do not extend as far as the axis of rotation in order to ensure sufficient overlap of the two cover parts there as well.
- the relative displacement of the two cover parts relative to one another can take place in that one of the two cover parts, in particular the outer, is stationary and only the other, in particular the inner, is displaced or rotated in the plane of rotation of the support device, around the housing cover to open and close.
- the fixed lid part is connected to a horizontal lid base plate of the housing and the inner lid portion has a lower ring portion with a circumferential guide ring.
- the guide ring is guided under the lid base plate in a plurality of bearing rollers arranged along a circumference and rotatably supported.

- a pinion can be used which meshes directly with teeth which are mounted on the cylinder jacket of the rotatable lid part.
- the worm can mesh directly with teeth or "gills" on the cylinder shell, so that the rotatable cover part practically represents the worm wheel.
- a limit switch are attached to the housing cover for the closed and the open position, which are connected to the control device and report the achievement of the fully closed or open position of the housing cover to the control device, so that the control device in response to the message can close the closing or opening in the correct rotational position.
- the limit switches are preferably designed as non-contact magnetic switches, which are advantageously robust and insensitive to dirt.
- at least one magnet is fastened to the rotatable cover part, which in each case actuates a fixed Hall sensor for the open or closed position. In the normal case, one of the limit switches thus gives the stop signal for the motor in the open or closed position.
- the mill has a safety circuit which monitors at least the closing of the housing cover continuously to a blockage of the rotatable lid part and terminates the closing when a Obstacle, for example, based on an increased torque is detected.
- the current at the drive motor is particularly easily monitored, which is a measure of the torque required for closing.
- the control device detects an increased current flow. When a predefined limit value for the motor current is exceeded, the closing process is stopped immediately and the housing cover is at least partially opened again.
- control device may include a timer, which monitors the duration of the opening or closing until the message of the associated limit switch and also breaks off the opening or closing of the housing cover after exceeding a predefined maximum time duration. This is advantageous when e.g. one of the limit switches is defective.
- the access opening allows the user in the lid shape according to the invention access preferably only to a portion of the support device, in particular only to a single of the grinding stations to insert or remove the associated grinding vessel.
- the control device allows a user input, which includes the selection of a specific grinding station.
- the mill preferably includes an angle detecting device for determining the absolute angular position of the carrier relative to the housing and automatically rotates the carrier in a position in which, with the housing cover open, manual access to precisely this selected grinding station in response to the user input and the determination of the angular position is possible.

- the control device turns the grinding station "# 1" to the position where, in the opened state, the grinding station Access opening is located, which is preferably on the user-facing side of the housing.
- the control device is designed such that it can rotate the support device automatically, possibly in response to a corresponding user input in a desired angular position or stop there.

Depending on the angular position of the carrier device, one or more of the magnets reach the sensitivity range of one or more of the Hall sensors. These are read out by the control device and the control device determines based on the spatial coding of the magnets at least in some rotational positions, the absolute angular position of the support device.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kugelmühle mit einem Gehäuse welches in einem Mahlraum eine Trägervorrichtung mit Mahlstationen beherbergt und mit einem Gehäusedeckel verschließbar ist, insbesondere eine Planeten- oder Fliehkraftkugelmühle im Labormaßstab, gemäß dem gattungs bildenden Teil des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a ball mill with a housing which houses a carrier device with grinding stations in a grinding chamber and can be closed with a housing cover, in particular a planetary or centrifugal ball mill on a laboratory scale, according to the generic part of
Kugelmühlen im Labormaßstab werden für ein breites Anwendungsspektrum, insbesondere zum Zerkleinern und Mischen von Proben und zum mechanischen Legieren eingesetzt. Ein Überblick über gängige Labormühlen findet sich auf der Website der Anmelderin unter www.fritsch.de.Lab scale ball mills are used for a wide range of applications, in particular for crushing and mixing samples and for mechanical alloying. An overview of common laboratory mills can be found on the applicant's website at www.fritsch.de.
Bei Planeten- und Fliehkraftkugelmühlen sind Mahlbecher exzentrisch zu einer Zentrumsachse angeordnet und bewegen sich auf einer Kreisbahn um die Zentrumsachse. Durch den Umlauf der Mahlbecher wird eine radial nach außen gerichtete Fliehkraft auf das Mahlgut ausgeübt.In planetary and centrifugal ball mills grinding bowls are arranged eccentrically to a center axis and move on a circular orbit about the center axis. As a result of the rotation of the grinding bowls, a centrifugal force directed radially outwards is exerted on the grinding stock.
Bei einer Fliehkraftkugelmühle wird die Drehung des Mahlbechers um seine eigene Achse in Bezug auf das Laborsystem verhindert. Im Gegensatz dazu basieren Planetenkugelmühlen darauf, durch zusätzliche Rotation um die Mahlbecherachse im Laborsystem eine kombinierte Umlauf- und Drehbewegung für die Mahlbecher zu erzeugen.In a centrifugal ball mill, the rotation of the grinding bowl about its own axis with respect to the laboratory system is prevented. In contrast, planetary ball mills are based on creating a combined orbital and rotational motion for the grinding bowls by additional rotation about the grinding bowl axis in the laboratory system.
Anders als bei einer Fliehkraftkugelmühle verursacht der Antrieb der Mahlbecher in einer Planetenkugelmühle also eine absolute Rotationsbewegung des Mahlbechers um seine eigene Achse, die Aufnahme- oder Planetenachse, so daß in einer Planetenkugelmühle im Vergleich zu einer Fliehkraftkugelmühle eine deutlich größere, weitere Fliehkraftkomponente erzeugt wird. Diese ist der Fliehkraftkomponente überlagert, welche durch den Umlauf der Mahlbecher um die Zentrumsachse erzeugt wird. Schließlich ist auch noch die Corioliskraft wirksam. Diese drei Kräfte ergeben bei der Planetenkugelmühle ein resultierendes Kraftfeld, dem die Mahlkugeln und das Mahlgut ausgesetzt sind.Unlike a centrifugal ball mill, the drive of the grinding bowls in a planetary ball mill thus causes an absolute rotational movement of the grinding bowl about its own axis, the receiving or planetary axis, so that in a planetary ball mill compared to a centrifugal ball mill a significantly larger, further centrifugal component is generated. This is superimposed on the centrifugal component, which is generated by the circulation of the grinding bowls about the center axis. Finally, the Coriolis effect is also effective. These three forces result in the planetary ball mill a resulting force field to which the grinding balls and the ground material are exposed.
Bei bestimmten Abmessungen der umlaufenden Teile und bestimmten Drehgeschwindigkeiten werden in einer Planetenkugelmühle Flugbahnen für die Mahlkugeln erzeugt. Die Mahlkugeln bewegen sich dann quer durch den Mahlbecher hindurch, bis sie auf die Innenwand des Mahlbechers auftreffen. Danach werden die Mahlkugeln am Innenumfang des Mahlbechers mitgenommen, bis die resultierende Kraft erneut dafür sorgt, daß die oben beschriebene Querbewegung stattfindet und Mahlkugeln eine Flugbewegung durch den Mahlbecher ausführen. Dies wird auch als "Wurfregime" bezeichnet. Anders als eine Fliehkraftkugelmühle kann dadurch eine Planetenkugelmühle bei höheren Drehzahlen eine erheblich bessere Mahlwirkung erzielen.With certain dimensions of the rotating parts and certain rotational speeds trajectories for the grinding balls are generated in a planetary ball mill. The grinding balls then move across the grinding bowl until they impinge on the inner wall of the grinding bowl. Thereafter, the grinding balls are taken along the inner circumference of the grinding bowl until the resulting force again ensures that the above-described transverse movement takes place and grinding balls perform a flight movement through the grinding bowl. This is also referred to as "Wurfregime". Unlike a centrifugal ball mill, a planetary ball mill can achieve a significantly better grinding effect at higher speeds.
Derartige Labor-Planetenkugelmühlen werden zumeist mit ein, zwei oder vier Mahlstationen gebaut. Die Mahlstationen sind als Planeten an einer Sonnenscheibe, welche als Trägervorrichtung für die Mahlstationen ausgebildet ist drehbar gelagert, wobei sich die Trägervorrichtung relativ zum Gehäuse dreht. Die Mahlstationen umfassen jeweils eine Aufnahmevorrichtung und zumindest ein Mahlgefäß das in der Aufnahmevorrichtung befestigt wird. Bei den konventionellen Kugelmühlen sind die Aufnahmevorrichtungen vollständig oberhalb der Trägervorrichtung angeordnet und fliegend an der Trägervorrichtung gelagert. Ein Beispiel für eine derartige Planetenkugelmühle mit einer Mahlstation und einer Ausgleichsmasse wird unter der Marke "pulverisette® 6" vertrieben (vgl. www.fritsch.de) und ist in der
Die bekannten Mühlen weisen ein Gehäuse auf, um die Trägervorrichtung mit den Mahlstationen, den Antrieb und die Steuerung der Mühle zu beherbergen. Aufgrund der konstruktiven Ausgestaltung mit den fliegend gelagerten Aufnahmevorrichtungen oberhalb der Trägervorrichtung ist die vertikale Ausdehnung der beweglichen oder drehenden Teile bereits relativ groß. Darüber hinaus sind die Mahlgefäße mit Schraubklemmen verspannt, welche abermals nach oben Platz benötigen. Auf der anderen Seite sollen die drehenden Teile schon aus Sicherheitsgründen vollständig innerhalb des Gehäuses eingeschlossen sein. Daher muss bei diesen Kugelmühlen der Mahlraum, d.h. der Innenraum des Gehäuses, welcher die drehenden Teile beherbergt, relativ voluminös sein. Um bei Stillstand der Mühle an die Mahlgefäße zu gelangen, besitzt die Mühle einen großen im Wesentlichen schaufelförmigen Schwenkdeckel, welcher ausladend nach oben aufgeschwenkt wird. Die Öffnung erfolgt manuell und erlaubt Zugriff auf die gesamte Trägervorrichtung, insbesondere auf alle Mahlstationen gleichzeitig, wobei diese für den Benutzer bei mehreren Mahlstationen ggf. schwierig zu unterscheiden sind, insbesondere wenn gleiche Mahlgefäße verwendet werden. Dadurch sind Fehlbedienungen, z.B. bei unterschiedlichem Mahlgut in den Mahlstationen möglich.The known mills have a housing to house the carrier device with the grinding stations, the drive and the control of the mill. Due to the structural design with the cantilevered receiving devices above the carrier device, the vertical extent of the movable or rotating parts is already relatively large. In addition, the grinding jars are clamped with screw terminals, which again need space upwards. On the other hand, the rotating parts should be completely enclosed within the housing for safety reasons. Therefore, in these ball mills, the grinding space, ie the interior of the housing housing the rotating parts, must be relatively bulky. In order to reach the grinding jars when the mill is at a standstill, the mill has a large, essentially scoop-shaped pivot lid, which is swung open to the top. The opening is done manually and allows access to the entire carrier device, in particular all grinding stations at the same time, which may be difficult for the user to distinguish at several grinding stations, especially if the same grinding jars are used. As a result, incorrect operation, eg with different ground material in the grinding stations possible.
Nachteilig bei diesem Gehäuse ist ferner der große Platzbedarf bereits des Gehäuses im geschlossenen Zustand, noch mehr aber im geöffneten Zustand. Auch kann der geöffnete Deckel beim Zugriff auf die Mahlgefäße störend sein.A disadvantage of this case is also the large footprint already the case in the closed state, even more in the open state. Also, the opened lid can be annoying when accessing the grinding jars.
Ferner wird das Aufschwenken des großen und schweren Gehäusedeckels entgegen der Schwerkraft durch eine Gasdruckfeder unterstützt. Daher muss der Benutzer beim manuellen Schließen des Deckels Kraft gegen die Gasdruckfeder aufwenden. Nachteilig ist auch, dass derartige Gasdruckfedern altern können, was zu einem unerwünschten Nachlassen der Federkraft führen kann.Furthermore, the pivoting of the large and heavy housing cover against gravity is supported by a gas spring. Therefore, when manually closing the lid, the user must apply force against the gas spring. Another disadvantage is that such gas springs can age, which can lead to an undesirable decrease in the spring force.
Zwar haben sich diese Kugelmühlen bewährt, es ist aber die Handhabung insbesondere hinsichtlich der Benutzerfreundlichkeit, Störungsanfälligkeit und Sicherheit grundsätzlich weiter verbesserungswürdig.Although these ball mills have proven useful, but it is the handling in particular in terms of ease of use, susceptibility to malfunction and security in general further improvement.
Daher ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Kugelmühle bereit zu stellen, welche sehr komfortabel zu bedienen ist und eine hohe Betriebssicherheit bietet.Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a ball mill which is very comfortable to operate and offers high reliability.
Noch eine Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Kugelmühle bereit zu stellen, welche dem Standardbenutzer möglichst nur die notwendigen Eingriffsmöglichkeiten bei der Bedienung der Mühle gestattet, um Fehlbedienungen zu reduzieren und die ein besonders hohes Maß an die Einfachheit der Bedienung gewährleistet, insbesondere hinsichtlich des Zugriffes auf die Mahlgefäße.Yet another object of the invention is to provide a ball mill, which allows the standard user as possible only the necessary intervention options in the operation of the mill to reduce operating errors and ensures a particularly high level of simplicity of operation, especially in terms of access on the grinding jars.
Nicht zuletzt ist es eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine derartige Kugelmühle zu konstruieren, welche eine kompakte Bauform aufweist und auch ein gewisses Maß an Eleganz nicht vermissen lässt.Not least, it is an object of the invention to construct such a ball mill, which has a compact Design has and also a certain degree of elegance can not miss.
Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Kugelmühle mit den im unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelost. Weiterentwicklungen sind in den Unteransprüchen definiert.The object is achieved by a ball mill with the features specified in the
Die Erfindung stellt eine Kugelmühle, insbesondere Planeten- oder Fliehkraftkugelmühle im Labormaßstab bereit, welche ein Gehäuse umfasst, das die Funktions-Bestandteile, insbesondere die rotierenden Teile der Mühle beherbergt. Die Trägervorrichtung rotiert im Betrieb innerhalb eines Innenraums in dem Gehäuse relativ zu diesem um eine Zentrumsachse, an welcher die Trägervorrichtung drehbar gelagert ist. Die Trägervorrichtung weist ferner zumindest eine Mahlstation mit einer Aufnahmevorrichtung für zumindest ein Mahlgefäß auf, welches im Betrieb um eine Aufnahmeachse, vorzugsweise entgegengesetzt zur Trägervorrichtung, rotiert und gleichzeitig von dieser als "Planet" auf einer Umlaufbahn um die Zentrumsachse oder "Sonne" mitgeführt wird. Das absolute Drehzahlverhältnis, d.h. bezogen auf das Laborsystem beträgt bei einer Planetenkugelmühlen vorzugsweise zwischen K = -0,6 und K = -1,5 bzw. relativ zwischen k = -1,6 und k = -2,5. Zur Mahlung wird das Mahlgut zusammen mit Mahlkugeln in das Mahlgefäß eingefüllt, wobei der Begriff "Mahlkugeln", nicht auf sphärische Mahlkörper beschränkt ist, sondern Mahlkörper unterschiedlichster Form umfasst. Dies ist dem Fachmann grundsätzlich vertraut.The invention provides a ball mill, in particular a planetary or centrifugal ball mill on a laboratory scale, which comprises a housing that houses the functional components, in particular the rotating parts of the mill. The support device rotates in operation within an interior in the housing relative to this about a center axis, on which the support device is rotatably mounted. The carrier device furthermore has at least one grinding station with a receiving device for at least one grinding vessel, which in operation rotates about a receiving axis, preferably opposite to the carrier device, and at the same time is carried by the latter as "planet" in an orbit about the center axis or "sun". The absolute speed ratio, i. with respect to the laboratory system is preferably between K = -0.6 and K = -1.5 or relatively between k = -1.6 and k = -2.5 in a planetary ball mills. For grinding, the millbase is filled together with grinding balls in the grinding vessel, wherein the term "grinding balls" is not limited to spherical grinding media, but comprises grinding bodies of different shapes. This is basically familiar to the person skilled in the art.
Jedes Mahlgefäß umfasst einen Mahlbecher, welcher mit einem Mahlbecherdeckel verschließbar ist und in der Aufnahmevorrichtung befestigt wird, um die Mühle in Betriebsbereitschaft zu versetzen und das Mahlgut in dem Mahlgefäß zu mahlen.Each grinding vessel comprises a grinding bowl, which can be closed with a grinding bowl lid and fixed in the receiving device in order to make the mill ready for operation and to grind the material to be ground in the grinding vessel.
Antriebe treiben die Rotation der Trägervorrichtung und die Rotation der Aufnahmevorrichtungen bzw. Mahlstationen an, wobei vorzugsweise ein elektrischer Gesamtantriebsmotor über ein entsprechend dem gewünschten Drehzahlverhältnis übersetzten Riemenantrieb beide Rotationen antreibt, wie dies den Fachmann grundsätzlich bekannt ist und z.B. in der
Das Gehäuse definiert und umschließt den Innenraum, in welchem die Trägervorrichtung mit den Mahlstationen rotiert. Dieser Innenraum wird hier als "Mahlraum" bezeichnet und ist nicht mit dem Inneren der Mahlgefäße zu verwechseln. Das Gehäuse weist einen Gehäusedeckel auf, welcher im Ruhezustand der Mühle geöffnet werden kann, um dem Benutzer Zugriff auf zumindest eine Mahlstation zu gestatten, um ein Mahlgefäß in die Aufnahmevorrichtung einzusetzen oder aus dieser zu entnehmen. Mit anderen Worten ist der Gehäusedeckel von einer geöffneten in einen geschlossenen Stellung und umgekehrt überführbar, wobei in der geöffneten Stellung Zugriff für den Benutzer auf zumindest ein Mahlgefäß ermöglicht ist und die Kugelmühle in der geschlossenen Stellung betrieben werden kann.The housing defines and encloses the interior space in which the carrier device rotates with the grinding stations. This interior is referred to here as "grinding room" and is not to be confused with the interior of the grinding vessels. The housing has a housing cover, which can be opened in the idle state of the mill to allow the user access to at least one grinding station to insert a grinding vessel in the receiving device or to remove from this. In other words, the housing cover is convertible from an open to a closed position and vice versa, wherein in the open position access to the user is made possible on at least one grinding vessel and the ball mill can be operated in the closed position.
Anders als bei der in der
Besonders einfach erfolgt die Verschiebung der beiden Deckelteile durch eine Drehung der beiden Deckelteile relativ zueinander. Die beiden vorzugsweise einstückigen Deckelteile werden also zum Öffnen und Schließen parallel zur Ebene der Rotation der Trägervorrichtung oder koaxial zur Zentrumsachse relativ zueinander gedreht. Bei dieser Ausführungsform sind die beiden Deckelteile vorzugsweise hutartig mit einer oberen Stirnfläche und einem zumindest teilweise umlaufenden Rand ausgebildet, wobei die beiden ausgeschnittenen zylindrischen Hutformen passend drehbar ineinandergreifen und somit zumindest abschnittsweise flächig aneinander liegen. Der Ausschnitt erstreckt sich dabei zumindest in der Stirnfläche und optional über die kreisringförmige Verbindungskante zwischen der Stirnfläche und dem Rand hinaus, so dass optional auch ein Abschnitt des Randes ausgeschnitten ist.Particularly simple is the displacement of the two lid parts by a rotation of the two lid parts relative to each other. The two preferably one-piece cover parts are thus rotated to open and close parallel to the plane of rotation of the carrier device or coaxially to the center axis relative to each other. In this embodiment, the two cover parts are preferably hat-shaped with an upper end face and an at least partially encircling edge, wherein the two cut cylindrical hat shapes mesh suitable rotatable and thus at least partially lie flat against each other. The cutout extends at least in the end face and optionally beyond the annular connecting edge between the end face and the edge, so that optionally also a portion of the edge is cut out.
Vorzugsweise sind die beiden Deckelteile jeweils sektorartig ausgeschnitten und die Ausschnitte werden durch relative Drehung der beiden Deckelteile zueinander in Überlapp gebracht, um die geöffnete Stellung zu definieren und durch die Zugriffsöffnung den Zugriff auf die Mahlstation freizugeben. In der geschlossenen Stellung überdeckt der nicht ausgeschnittene Abschnitt des Verschlussdeckelteils den Ausschnitt des Ausschnittsdeckelteils und umgekehrt.Preferably, the two lid parts are each cut sector-like and the cutouts are brought by relative rotation of the two lid parts to each other in overlap to define the open position and access through the access opening to the Grinding station release. In the closed position, the non-cut portion of the closure lid part covers the cutout of the cut-out lid part and vice versa.
Vorzugsweise weist das Ausschnittsdeckelteil einen Sektorauschnitt von größer 45 Grad, bevorzugt größer als 90 Grad und kleiner als 180 Grad, bevorzugt um 150 Grad ±30 Grad auf. Um den Ausschnitt in der geschlossenen Stellung vollständig abdecken, bzw. vollständig verschließen zu können, ist der nicht ausgeschnittene Abschnitt des Verschlussdeckelteils größer als der Sektorausschnitt. An diesem Beispiel ist ersichtlich, dass die beiden Sektor-Deckelteile gleichartig jeweils mit einem Sektorausschnitt etwas kleiner als 180 Grad geformt sein können, um in der geöffneten Stellung eine möglichst große Zugriffsöffnung bereit zu stellen und dennoch in der geschlossenen Stellung die beiden Ausschnitte gegenseitig vollständig zu verschließen. Der Begriff "Sektor" ist dabei nicht im mathematisch strengen Sinne zu verstehen. Z.B. reichen die Ausschnitte bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform nicht bis zur Drehachse, um auch dort genügend Überlapp der beiden Deckelteile zu gewährleisten.The cutout lid part preferably has a sector cutout of greater than 45 degrees, preferably greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, preferably of 150 degrees ± 30 degrees. In order to completely cover the cutout in the closed position, or to be able to close completely, the non-cut portion of the closure lid part is larger than the sector cutout. In this example, it can be seen that the two sector lid parts can be similarly shaped each with a sector cut slightly smaller than 180 degrees to provide the largest possible access opening in the open position and yet in the closed position, the two sections mutually completely close. The term "sector" is not to be understood in the mathematically strict sense. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the cutouts do not extend as far as the axis of rotation in order to ensure sufficient overlap of the two cover parts there as well.
Es ist ersichtlich das die Relativ-Verschiebung der beiden Deckelteile zueinander dadurch erfolgen kann, dass eines der beiden Deckelteile, insbesondere das äußere, feststeht und lediglich das andere, insbesondere das innere, verschoben bzw. in der Rotationsebene der Trägervorrichtung gedreht wird, um den Gehäusedeckel zu Öffnen und zu Schließen.It can be seen that the relative displacement of the two cover parts relative to one another can take place in that one of the two cover parts, in particular the outer, is stationary and only the other, in particular the inner, is displaced or rotated in the plane of rotation of the support device, around the housing cover to open and close.
Weiter bevorzugt ist das feste Deckelteil mit einer mit einer horizontalen Deckelgrundplatte des Gehäuses verbunden und das innere Deckelteil weist einen unteren Ringabschnitt mit einem umlaufenden Führungsring auf. Der Führungsring wird unter der Deckelgrundplatte in einer Mehrzahl von entlang einem Kreisumfang angeordneten Lagerrollen geführt und drehbar gelagert.More preferably, the fixed lid part is connected to a horizontal lid base plate of the housing and the inner lid portion has a lower ring portion with a circumferential guide ring. The guide ring is guided under the lid base plate in a plurality of bearing rollers arranged along a circumference and rotatably supported.
Der Gehäusedeckel wird vorzugsweise durch einen vom Gesamtantriebsmotor der Trägervorrichtung separaten Elektromotor angetrieben, welcher von der Steuereinrichtung der Mühle elektronisch gesteuert wird. Das Öffnen und Schließen erfolgt dabei im Wesentlichen als Teil einer Ablaufsteuerung des Mahlvorgangs. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, den Gehäusedeckel über eine Menüführung, also in Ansprechen auf eine Benutzereingabe an der Steuereinrichtung elektronisch gesteuert zu Öffnen oder zu schließen. Der Antriebsmotor ist vorzugsweise als Gleichstrommotor ausgebildet und wird umgepolt, um das drehbare Gehäusedeckelteil in beide Richtungen zum Öffnen bzw. Schließen zu drehen.The housing cover is preferably driven by a separate from the overall drive motor of the support device electric motor which is electronically controlled by the control device of the mill. The opening and closing takes place essentially as part of a sequence control of the grinding process. However, it is also possible to electronically controlled the housing cover via a menu, so in response to a user input to the control device to open or close. The drive motor is preferably designed as a DC motor and is reversed to rotate the rotatable housing cover part in both directions to open or close.
Der Antrieb erfolgt bevorzugt von dem Antriebsmotor über ein Schneckengetriebe, das über ein Zahnriemenrad einen Zahnriemen antreibt, welcher mit dem drehbaren Deckelteil verbunden ist. Der Zahnriemen ist an zwei Punkten an dem drehbaren Deckelteil befestigt und steht ständig am Motor in Eingriff. Alternativ kann anstatt des Zahnriemenrads ein Ritzel eingesetzt werden, das direkt mit Zähnen, die auf dem Zylindermantel des drehbaren Deckelteils angebracht sind, kämmt. Ferner kann die Schnecke direkt mit Zähnen oder "Kiemen" auf dem Zylindermantel kämmen, so dass das drehbare Deckelteil praktisch das Schneckenrad darstellt. Diese Antriebe sind selbsthemmend ausgelegt und verhinderen somit in vorteilhafter Weise, dass der Deckel von Hand geöffnet werden kann, um die Verletzungsgefahr zu minimieren.The drive is preferably carried out by the drive motor via a worm gear, which drives a toothed belt via a toothed belt, which is connected to the rotatable cover part. The toothed belt is attached to the rotatable lid part at two points and is constantly engaged with the motor. Alternatively, instead of the toothed belt wheel, a pinion can be used which meshes directly with teeth which are mounted on the cylinder jacket of the rotatable lid part. Further, the worm can mesh directly with teeth or "gills" on the cylinder shell, so that the rotatable cover part practically represents the worm wheel. These drives are designed to be self-locking and thus prevent advantageously that the lid can be opened by hand to minimize the risk of injury.
Weiter bevorzugt sind an dem Gehäusedeckel für die geschlossene und die geöffnete Stellung jeweils ein Endschalter angebracht, welche mit der Steuereinrichtung verbunden sind und das Erreichen der vollständig geschlossenen bzw. geöffneten Stellung des Gehäusedeckels an die Steuereinrichtung melden, so dass die Steuereinrichtung in Ansprechen auf die Meldung das Schließen bzw. Öffnen in der richtigen Drehstellung beenden kann. Die Endschalter sind vorzugsweise als berührungslose Magnetschalter ausgebildet, welche in vorteilhafter Weise robust und schmutzunempfindlich sind. Hierzu ist zumindest ein Magnet an dem drehbaren Deckelteil befestigt, welcher jeweils einen festen Hallsensor für die geöffnete bzw. geschlossene Stellung betätigt. Im Normalfall gibt also jeweils einer der Endschalter das Stoppsignal für den Motor in der geöffneten bzw. geschlossenen Stellung.Further preferably, a limit switch are attached to the housing cover for the closed and the open position, which are connected to the control device and report the achievement of the fully closed or open position of the housing cover to the control device, so that the control device in response to the message can close the closing or opening in the correct rotational position. The limit switches are preferably designed as non-contact magnetic switches, which are advantageously robust and insensitive to dirt. For this purpose, at least one magnet is fastened to the rotatable cover part, which in each case actuates a fixed Hall sensor for the open or closed position. In the normal case, one of the limit switches thus gives the stop signal for the motor in the open or closed position.
Um die Verletzungsgefahr insbesondere beim Schließen z.B. durch Einklemmen eines Fingers in dem sich schließenden Spalt zwischen den beiden Deckelteilen zu verringern, besitzt die Mühle eine Sicherheitsschaltung, welche zumindest das Schließen des Gehäusedeckels kontinuierlich auf eine Blockierung des drehbaren Deckelteils überwacht und das Schließen abbricht, wenn ein Hindernis z.B. anhand eines erhöhten Drehmoments, detektiert wird. Besonders einfach wird hierzu der Strom am Antriebsmotor überwacht, welcher ein Maß für das zum Schließen notwendige Drehmoment ist. In dem Fehlerfall "Blockade des Verschlusses" z.B. durch die Hand des Benutzers oder andere Gegenstände detektiert die Steuereinrichtung einen erhöhten Stromfluss. Bei Überschreiten eines vordefinierten Grenzwertes für den Motorstrom wird der Schließvorgang sofort angehalten und der Gehäusedeckel zumindest ein Stück weit wieder geöffnet.In order to reduce the risk of injury, especially when closing eg by pinching a finger in the closing gap between the two lid parts, the mill has a safety circuit which monitors at least the closing of the housing cover continuously to a blockage of the rotatable lid part and terminates the closing when a Obstacle, for example, based on an increased torque is detected. For this purpose, the current at the drive motor is particularly easily monitored, which is a measure of the torque required for closing. In the event of a fault "blockage of the closure", for example by the hand of the user or other objects, the control device detects an increased current flow. When a predefined limit value for the motor current is exceeded, the closing process is stopped immediately and the housing cover is at least partially opened again.
Zusätzlich kann die Steuereinrichtung einen Zeitmesser umfassen, welcher die Zeitdauer des Öffnens oder Schließens bis zur Meldung des zugehörigen Endschalters überwacht und nach Überschreiten einer vordefinierten Maximalzeitdauer das Öffnen bzw. Schließen des Gehäusedeckels ebenfalls abbricht. Dies ist vorteilhaft, wenn z.B. einer der Endschalter defekt ist.In addition, the control device may include a timer, which monitors the duration of the opening or closing until the message of the associated limit switch and also breaks off the opening or closing of the housing cover after exceeding a predefined maximum time duration. This is advantageous when e.g. one of the limit switches is defective.
Die Zugriffsöffnung erlaubt dem Benutzer bei der erfindungsgemäßen Deckelform Zugriff vorzugsweise lediglich auf einen Abschnitt der Trägervorrichtung, insbesondere lediglich auf eine einzige der Mahlstationen, um das zugehörige Mahlgefäß einzusetzen oder zu entnehmen. Hierzu erlaubt die Steuereinrichtung eine Benutzereingabe, welche das Anwählen einer bestimmten Mahlstation umfasst. Ferner weist die Mühle vorzugsweise eine Winkeldetektionseinrichtung zur Bestimmung der absoluten Winkelstellung der Trägervorrichtung relativ zu dem Gehäuse auf und dreht die Trägervorrichtung in Ansprechen auf die Benutzereingabe und die Bestimmung der Winkelstellung automatisch in eine Stellung, in der bei geöffnetem Gehäusedeckel manueller Zugriff auf genau diese angewählte Mahlstation ermöglicht ist. Bevorzugt nachfolgend öffnet die Steuereinrichtung automatisch den Gehäusedeckel. Bei zwei vorhandenen Mahlstationen "#1" und "#2" gibt der Benutzer z.B. ein, dass er die Mahlstation "#1" bestücken will, worauf die Steuereinrichtung die Mahlstation "#1" an die Stelle dreht, wo sich in geöffnetem Zustand die Zugriffsöffnung befindet, was vorzugsweise an der dem Benutzer zugewandten Gehäuseseite ist. Dies macht die Bedienung der Mühle für den Benutzer besonders fehlersicher, da der Benutzer nun nur die Mahlstation "#1" bestücken oder das Mahlgefäß aus der Mahlstation "#1" entnehmen kann, da sich die andere Mahlstation unter dem noch immer geschlossenen Abschnitt des Gehäusedeckels befindet. Mit anderen Worten ist die Steuereinrichtung derart ausgebildet, dass sie die Trägervorrichtung automatisch, ggf. in Ansprechen auf eine entsprechende Benutzereingabe in eine gewünschte Winkelstellung drehen bzw. dort anhalten kann.The access opening allows the user in the lid shape according to the invention access preferably only to a portion of the support device, in particular only to a single of the grinding stations to insert or remove the associated grinding vessel. For this purpose, the control device allows a user input, which includes the selection of a specific grinding station. Further, the mill preferably includes an angle detecting device for determining the absolute angular position of the carrier relative to the housing and automatically rotates the carrier in a position in which, with the housing cover open, manual access to precisely this selected grinding station in response to the user input and the determination of the angular position is possible. Preferably, subsequently, the control device automatically opens the housing cover. For example, with two existing grinding stations "# 1" and "# 2", the user indicates that he wants to load the grinding station "# 1", whereupon the control device turns the grinding station "# 1" to the position where, in the opened state, the grinding station Access opening is located, which is preferably on the user-facing side of the housing. This makes the operation of the mill for the user particularly fail-safe, since the user can now only equip the grinding station "# 1" or remove the grinding vessel from the grinding station "# 1", since the other grinding station under the still closed section of the housing cover is located. In other words, the control device is designed such that it can rotate the support device automatically, possibly in response to a corresponding user input in a desired angular position or stop there.
Die Winkeldetektionseinrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise eine kodierte Anordnung von Magneten an der Trägervorrichtung und zugeordnete Hallsensoren an dem Gehäuse. Je nach Winkelstellung der Trägervorrichtung gelangen einer oder mehrere der Magnete in den Empfindlichkeitsbereich von einem oder mehreren der Hallsensoren. Diese werden von der Steuereinrichtung ausgelesen und die Steuereinrichtung bestimmt anhand der räumlichen Kodierung der Magnete zumindest in einigen Drehstellungen die absolute Winkelstellung der Trägervorrichtung.The angle detection device preferably comprises a coded arrangement of magnets on the carrier device and associated Hall sensors on the housing. Depending on the angular position of the carrier device, one or more of the magnets reach the sensitivity range of one or more of the Hall sensors. These are read out by the control device and the control device determines based on the spatial coding of the magnets at least in some rotational positions, the absolute angular position of the support device.

In dem waagerechten Schenkel 14 sind die drehbaren Teile der Mahlanordnung, d. h. unter anderem die Trägervorrichtung und die Mahlstationen eingebaut. Das Gehäuse 1, genauer der waagerechte Schenkel 14, weist einen flachen im Großen und Ganzen zylindrisch hutartigen Gehäusedeckel 18 auf, welcher in ein festes Ausschnittsdeckelteil 182 und ein drehbares Verschlusssdeckelteil 184 unterteilt ist. Das drehbare Verschlussdeckelteil 184 verschließt in der gezeigten geschlossenen Stellung vollständig einen Ausschnitt 183 des Ausschnittsdeckelteils 182. Das Verschlussdeckelteil 184 ist in einer waagerechten Ebene, welche der Ebene der Rotation der Trägervorrichtung entspricht, drehbar, um den sektorartigen Ausschnitt 183 öffnen zu können, da auch das Verschlussdeckelteil 184 einen Ausschnitt 185 aufweist, welcher in der in

Der waagerechte Schenkel 14 des Gerätegehäuses 1 definiert gemeinsam mit dem Gehäusedeckel 18 einen Innenraum, in welchem die beweglichen Teile der Mahlanordnung, insbesondere die Trägervorrichtung 2 und die Mahlstationen 3 bzw. 3' angeordnet sind.
