Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gearbox for equipping a mixer-mixer.
  • Mixer-mixers are used in the food industry, particularly in the fields of baking and pastry making for pasta and cream.
  • the mixer-mixers conventionally comprise a support having a carrier column, a horizontal upper part and a lower part, the upper and lower parts being adjacent to the carrier column. A tank containing the material to be mixed is then disposed between the lower part and the upper horizontal part of the support.
  • the mixer-mixers further include a motorized gearbox for driving at least one mixing tool into the tank.
  • a gearbox for a mixer-mixer typically comprises a ring gear, a sun gear and at least one planet gear.
  • the crown is a pinion with internal teeth, fixedly mounted on the support.
  • planetary designates a pinion whose axis of rotation is stationary.
  • satellite means, meanwhile, a pinion whose own axis of rotation is in revolution about the axis of rotation of the sun gear.
  • the sun gear is mounted on a motor shaft while the planet gear is pivotally mounted on a body called the planet carrier.
  • the planet gear meshes with both the sun gear and the crown.
  • the mixing tool is mounted on the shaft of the satellite gear.
  • the drive of the mixing tool in the tank is carried out by the motor shaft. Indeed, the driving shaft of the sun gear causes the own rotation of the planet gear. The gear of the planet gear on the crown then allows the revolution of the planet gear around the planet gear. This results in a clean rotational movement and revolution around the sun gear of the mixing tool in the tank.
  • document FR2844442 describes an epicyclic gearbox transmission system involving several satellites in order to drive several mixing tools.
  • Such a gearbox system has several disadvantages.
  • the major disadvantage lies in the large volume occupied by the gearbox system in the upper horizontal part of the support. This large volume is mainly due to the presence of the motor shaft driving the sun gear.
  • the gearbox motor is integrated in the upper part of the support column of the support. It thus results from this arrangement of the engine and the gearbox system a large axial size.
  • the term "axial" will be understood to mean the direction of the support column of the support, that is to say the substantially vertical direction.
  • This axial size leads to an encroachment of the gearbox on the volume of the tank, the gearbox thereby creating an annular passage with the tank.
  • This annular passageway therefore does not allow to introduce the material to be mixed by the top of the gearbox.
  • the introduction zone is therefore arranged laterally to the gearbox, which can then lead to a jamming of the material to be mixed in the zone of the annular passage.
  • the planet gear and the planet gears are thus arranged in the zone of introduction of the material to be mixed.
  • the axial size is such that it is difficult to envisage the use of a second motor for the gearbox without exacerbating the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • a second motor driving the planet gears either directly or via the planet carrier makes it possible to increase the speed range and the range of transmission ratios of the gearbox.
  • this transmission ratio modularity is hardly available for gearbox systems of the state of the art.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks and to this end consists of a gearbox for a mixer-mixer comprising a sun gear, a planet carrier comprising a body delimiting an enclosure, at least one satellite pinion. , provided with an external toothing, and pivotally mounted on the planet carrier, said planet gear meshing with the sun gear, and characterized in that the The body of the carrier is shaped to cooperate with a drive member so that said drive member rotates said carrier.
  • the gearbox according to the present invention is designed so that the carrier can be driven by a motor: this makes it possible to overcome the motor shaft present in the state of the art.
  • the own rotation of the planet pinion is initiated directly by the rotation of the planet carrier. Therefore, the removal of the drive shaft of the sun gear greatly reduces the axial space in the upper horizontal part of the support.
  • the sun gear has a fixed mounted peripheral ring provided with an internal toothing.
  • the fixed peripheral ring allows the revolution of the satellite carrier around the center of the tank.
  • the sun gear provided with an external toothing, is mounted on a motor shaft.
  • the sun gear allows the revolution of the planet carrier around the center of the tank.
  • the addition of a motorized sun gear makes it possible to adjust the transmission ratio of the gearbox.
  • the axial size due to the drive shaft of the sun gear is reduced compared to a gearbox of the state of the art which would include two motors.
  • the sun gear and the sun gear are arranged inside the enclosure of the planet carrier.
  • the sun gear and the planet pinion are encapsulated in the body of the planet carrier so that they no longer interfere with the zone of introduction of the material to be mixed, thus freeing access to the cleaning of the parts. mechanical.
  • the carrier comprises a pulley body comprising a guide groove and housing of a drive belt. This arrangement makes it possible to drive the planet carrier in rotation by the drive belt.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for drummer-mixer comprising a gearbox according to the invention and a drive member designed to drive in rotation the satellite carrier of the gearbox according to the invention.
  • the drive member comprises a drive belt.
  • the present invention also relates to a mixer-mixer comprising at least one mixing tool and first motorization means, equipped with a device according to the invention, said device ensuring the kinematic connection between the mixing tool and the first motorization means so that the first motorization means are connected to the drive member of the device and the mixing tool is connected to the planet gear.
  • said mixing beater further comprises second drive means connected to the drive shaft of the sun gear so that the first and second drive means respectively actuate the carrier by the drive member and the sun gear. by its motor shaft.
  • the mixer-mixer further comprises a tank above which are provided means for introducing the material to be mixed, adjacent the body of the carrier.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic front view in section a mixer-mixer equipped with a gearbox according to the invention, according to one embodiment
  • Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of the mixer-mixer of Figure 1
  • Figure 3 is a symbolic diagram of operation of a mixer-mixer equipped with a gearbox according to the invention, according to a variant of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2
  • Figure 4 is a symbolic diagram of operation of a mixer-mixer equipped with a gearbox according to the invention, according to another embodiment.
  • the mixing beater illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a mixing tool 1 inside a tank 2.
  • the mixing tool is mounted on a shaft 3.
  • the tank is placed under the horizontal upper part of a support 4 .
  • the mixer-mixer is furthermore equipped with a gearbox comprising a sun gear 5 and a sun gear 6.
  • the sun gear 5 and the sun gear 6 form a gear with external teeth.
  • the sun gear 5 and the planet pinion 6 are arranged inside the chamber of a planet carrier 7, said planet carrier 7 forming a pulley body.
  • the planet carrier 7 is pivotally mounted on the support 4.
  • the planet gear 5 is mounted on a driving shaft 8 while the planet gear 6 is mounted on the shaft 3, said shaft 3 being pivotally mounted on the planet carrier 7
  • the drive shaft 8 is thus kinematically connected to the shaft 3 on which the mixing tool is mounted by the externally toothed gear formed by the sun gear 5 and the planet pinion 6.
  • the beater-mixer also has motorization means of the gearbox.
  • a first driving pulley 9 and a second driving pulley 10 are respectively mounted on the shafts of a first motor 11 and a second motor 12.
  • the first and second motors as well as the first and second drive pulleys are not represented on the Figure 1 but remain visible in Figure 2.
  • a drive pulley 13 is also directly mounted on the drive shaft 8.
  • the drive pulley 13 and the second drive pulley 10 are interconnected by a drive belt 14.
  • the drive belt 14 is not visible in Figure 1 but appears in Figure 2.
  • the first driving pulley 9 and the carrier 7 are interconnected by a drive belt 15 housed in a groove 16 for guiding and housing the carrier 7 , said drive belt 15 allowing the rotation of the body of the planet carrier 7.
  • the guide and housing groove 16 is not visible in FIG. 1 but is shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • an introduction zone 17 of the material to be mixed is formed above the tank 2, adjacent to the body of the planet carrier 7.
  • the operation of the gearbox according to one embodiment is illustrated by the symbolic diagram of FIG.
  • the first drive pulley 9 and the second drive pulley 10 respectively drive the planet carrier 7 and the drive pulley 13-and thus the drive shaft 8-.
  • the planet pinion 6 is therefore both actuated directly by the planet carrier 7 and the gear with the sun gear 5.
  • the mixing tool mounted on the shaft 3 is driven both around its own axis and in revolution around the sun gear 5.
  • the motorization of the sun gear 5 makes it possible to adjust the transmission ratio of the gearbox.
  • the gearbox can also work with a planetary gear
  • the sun gear 5 has a ring gear with internal teeth, fixedly mounted on the support 4.
  • the sun gear 5 is located outside the chamber of the planet carrier 7.
  • this inner pinion then having external toothing as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the first driving pulley 9 rotates the planet carrier 7 by means of the drive belt 15.
  • the planet pinion 6 is actuated and meshes with the peripheral ring gear of the sun gear 5 so that the tool mixture, mounted on the shaft 3, is driven both around its own axis and in revolution around the peripheral ring of the sun gear 5.
