Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combination of an intermediate piece with a static spray mixer.
  • Static mixers for mixing at least two flowable components are for example in the EP-A-0 749 776 and in the EP-A-0 815 929 described. Despite their simple, material-saving construction of their mixer structure, these very compact mixers produce good mixing results, especially when mixing highly viscous substances such as sealants, two-component foams, or two-component adhesives. Typically, such static mixers are designed for single use and are often used for curing products in which the mixer practically can not be cleaned.
  • the two components are atomized at the outlet of the mixer by exposure to a medium such as air and can then be applied in the form of a spray or spray on the desired substrate.
  • a medium such as air
  • the mixed components are atomized at the outlet of the mixer by exposure to a medium such as air and can then be applied in the form of a spray or spray on the desired substrate.
  • a static mixer comprising a bent outlet member is disclosed in US Pat EP 2 230 025 A1 disclosed.
  • the EP 1 083 005 A2 shows an intermediate piece to Use with a static mixer.
  • a device for the above applications is for example in the US-B-6,951,310 disclosed.
  • a tubular mixer housing is provided, which receives the mixing element for the static mixture and which has an external thread at one end, onto which an annular nozzle body is screwed.
  • the nozzle body also has an external thread.
  • a cone-shaped Zerstäuberelement is placed, which has on its conical surface a plurality of longitudinal grooves.
  • a cap is inverted, the inner surface is also designed conical, so that it rests against the conical surface of the atomizer. Consequently, the grooves form flow channels between the atomizer element and the cap.
  • the cap is fixed together with the atomizer element by means of a union nut, which is screwed onto the external thread of the nozzle body, on the nozzle body.
  • the nozzle body has a connection for pressure. In operation, the compressed air flows from the nozzle body through the flow channels between the atomizer element and the cap and atomizes the material emerging from the mixing element.
  • the object of the present invention is to mix such spray mixers and to make spraying of at least two flowable components accessible for an even wider field of application, whereby the simplest possible handling should be ensured.
  • the static spray mixer has a tubular mixer housing with at least one mixing element and a Zerstäubungshülse, wherein the mixer housing extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis to a distal end having an outlet opening for the components, the atomizing sleeve having an inlet channel for a pressurized Sputtering medium and an inner surface having a plurality of separate grooves, which can form separate flow channels together with the mixer housing.
  • the combination is characterized in that the intermediate piece has an inlet area for cooperation with the distal end area of the mixer housing, and an outlet area for cooperation with the atomizing sleeve, the inlet area and the outlet area enclosing a non-zero deflection angle, and the outlet area being at its the end portion facing away from the inlet portion has an end portion whose outer contour is equal to that of the mixer housing, so that the end portion of the outlet portion can cooperate with the sputtering sleeve in the same way as the distal end portion of the mixer housing with the sputtering sleeve can cooperate.
  • the intermediate piece makes it possible in a simple manner to use a static spray mixer even in those applications in which the surface to be sprayed is more difficult to access. So can be sprayed or sprayed around corners with this adapter, for example. This opens up an even wider field of application of such static spray mixers. Since the End portion of the outlet portion of the intermediate piece of its outer contour is the same design as the distal end portion of the mixer housing, this end portion of the outlet portion as well together with the Zerstäubungshülse as the mixer housing, that is, the intermediate piece allows an equally good homogeneous atomization and a stable flow of the fluid at the outlet of the intermediate piece, where the mixed components emerge.
  • the deflection angle between the inlet region and the outlet region is in the range of 45 to 135 degrees, preferably in the range of 60 to 120 degrees.
  • the angle of deflection between the inlet region and the outlet region is 90 degrees, because this geometry has proved advantageous for many applications.
  • the inner contour of the inlet region of the intermediate piece is dimensioned so that it can lie flat against the distal end region of the mixer housing.
  • the inlet area is thread-free connectable to the mixer housing, for example by means of a snap connection.
  • the outlet region can be connected without threads to the atomizing sleeve, for example by means of a snap connection.
  • a further advantageous measure consists in that the outlet region has, at its end facing the inlet region, an end plate which is designed to engage in the atomizing sleeve, so that leakage of the atomizing medium from the end plate is prevented during operation. This end plate can then be used by engaging in the atomizing sleeve for connection of the intermediate piece with the atomizing sleeve.
  • the outlet region comprises a channel for the mixed component having a substantially constant inner diameter. This measure makes it possible to realize that the outlet at the end of the intermediate piece is an image of the outlet opening on the mixer housing, so that at the outlet the same flow conditions prevail for the thoroughly mixed components as at the outlet opening.
  • At least one guide element is provided between the end plate and the end section of the outlet region, the outer diameter of which is modeled on the outer contour of the distal end region of the mixer housing.
  • a plurality of disc-shaped guide elements arranged one behind the other are provided for this purpose, the outer diameter of which is modeled on the outer diameter of the mixer housing. That is, a disc-shaped guide member, which is a certain distance away from the outlet of the intermediate piece, has in Essentially the same outer diameter as the mixer housing at the location which is located at the same distance from the outlet opening of the mixer housing.
  • a helical guide element is provided, the outer diameter of which is modeled on the outer diameter of the mixer housing.

  • the spray mixer 100 includes a tubular, one-piece mixer housing 2 that extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis A to a distal end 21.
  • the distal end 21 is meant that end at which the mixed components leave the mixer housing 2 in the operating state.
  • the distal end 21 is provided with an outlet opening 22.

It can either several, arranged one behind the other Mixing elements 3 may be provided, or as in the present embodiment, a one-piece mixing element 3, which is preferably injection-molded and consists of a thermoplastic.
  • a static mixers or mixing elements 3 per se are well known to the person skilled in the art and therefore require no further explanation.
  • Such mixing elements are for example in the already cited documents EP-A-0 749 776 and EP-A-0 815 929 described.
  • Such a mixing element 3 of the Qudro® type has a rectangular, in particular a square cross section, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction A. Accordingly, the one-piece mixer housing 2, at least in the region in which it encloses the mixing element 3, a substantially rectangular, in particular square cross-sectional area perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the mixing element 3 does not extend all the way to the distal end 21 of the mixer housing 2, but ends at a stop 25 (see Fig. 2 ), which is realized here by the transition of the mixer housing 2 from a square to a round cross-section. Seen in the direction of flow, therefore, the interior of the mixer housing 2 up to this stop 25 has a substantially square cross-section for receiving the mixing element 3.
  • the interior of the mixer housing 2 is in a circular cone shape, which realizes a taper in the mixer housing 2.
  • the interior thus has a circular cross section and forms an exit region 26, which tapers in the direction of the distal end 21 and there opens into the outlet opening 22.

  • the inlet channel 41 can be designed for all known connections, in particular also for a Luer lock.
  • the atomizing sleeve 4 is preferably connected thread-free with the mixer housing, in the present embodiment by means of a snap connection.
  • a flange-like elevation 24 is provided on the mixer housing 2 (see Fig. 2 ), which extends over the entire circumference of the mixer housing 2.
  • a circumferential groove 43 is provided, which is designed to cooperate with the survey 24. If the atomizing sleeve 4 is pushed over the mixer housing 2, the projection 24 snaps into the circumferential groove 43 and ensures a stable connection of the atomizing sleeve 4 to the mixer housing 2.
  • this snap connection is designed to be sealing, so that the atomizing medium - in this case not the compressed air can escape through this from the circumferential groove 43 and the survey 24 existing connection.
  • the atomizing sleeve 4 lies with its inner surface in a region between the mouth of the inlet channel 41 and the elevation 24 closely on the outer surface of the mixer housing 2, so that also a sealing effect is achieved, which prevents leakage or a reverse flow of the atomizing medium.

  • the grooves 5 are uniformly distributed over the inner surface of the atomizing sleeve 4. It has proved to be advantageous with regard to the most complete and homogeneous atomization of the mixed components emerging from the outlet opening when the compressed air flows generated by the grooves 5 have a twist, ie a rotation on a helix about the longitudinal axis A. This twist causes a clear stabilization of the compressed air flow.
  • the circulating atomizing medium in this case compressed air, generates a jet which is stabilized by the swirl and thus acts evenly on the mixed components emerging from the outlet opening 22. This results in a very uniform and in particular reproducible spray pattern. Particularly favorable in this case is a possible cone-shaped compressed air jet, which is stabilized by the spin. This extremely uniform and reproducible air flow results in significantly lower overspray during use.
  • the grooves 5, which form the flow channels, do not extend exactly in the axial direction defined by the longitudinal axis A or inclined not only on the longitudinal axis, but the extension of the grooves 5 also has a component in the circumferential direction of the Atomizing sleeve 4.
  • the course of the grooves 5 is at least approximately spirally or helically about the longitudinal axis A.
  • Another measure for generating the twist is to arrange the inlet channel 41, through which the atomizing medium enters the flow channels, asymmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the inlet channel 41 is arranged so that its central axis does not intersect the longitudinal axis A, but has a vertical distance from the longitudinal axis A.

  • the air used as a sputtering medium can be additionally applied with kinetic energy downstream of the narrowest point and thus accelerate. As with a Laval nozzle, this happens through the flow cross-section widening again in the direction of flow.
