Description
- The present invention relates to a stirring impeller intended for mixing and a stirring device including the same.
- In the related art, for example, a stirring device including a cylindrical stirred tank, a stirring shaft disposed at a central part of the stirred tank, and a stirring impeller attached to a lower part side of the stirring shaft is known as a stirring device that stirs an object to be stirred.
- Additionally, a stirring impeller including a plate-shaped member attached to the stirring shaft and a plurality of flat plate-shaped blade parts fixed to an outer peripheral side of the plate-shaped member is known as a stirring impeller provided in this type of stirring device. According to this stirring device, if the stirring shaft rotates around an axis center, the stirring impeller rotates together with the stirring shaft, and the object to be stirred is stirred and mixed by this rotation.
- However, in a case where the object to be stirred is stirred using such a stirring impeller, a lot of cavities may be generated on back sides of the flat plate-shaped blade parts (cavitation) . In that case, there is a concern that stirring efficiency may degrade.
- Thus, a stirring impeller configured so that a longitudinal section of each blade part has a shape that is curved or bent in a direction opposite to the rotational direction of the blade part is suggested (refer to

Figs. 1 to 3 . In addition, inFig. 1 , thestirring impeller 4 is schematically illustrated by a dashed line, and thestirring impeller 4 is illustrated in detail inFigs. 2 and3 . - A
stirring device 1 including the stirringimpeller 4 of the present embodiment is a vertical stirring device. Thestirring device 1 includes astirred tank 2 that contains an object (liquid L) to be stirred, astirring shaft 3 that is rotatably attached within thestirred tank 2, thestirring impeller 4 that is attached to thestirring shaft 3, and a driving unit 5 that rotates thestirring shaft 3. Additionally, the stirringdevice 1 further includes a gas supply unit 6 that supplies another object (gas G) to be stirred into thestirred tank 2 from abottom part 22 of thestirred tank 2. In addition, in the present embodiment, objects to be stirred that are contained in thestirred tank 2 are the liquid L and the gas G. Although a case where the gas G is dispersed in liquid is described below as an example, the kind of object to be stirred is not particularly limited. Additionally, the liquid L also includes liquid or the like with higher viscosity and lower flowability other than liquid with lower viscosity and higher flowability. - The
stirred tank 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape that is long in a longitudinal direction. Specifically, thestirred tank 2 includes acylindrical body part 21, abottom part 22 that is attached to a lower end of thebody part 21 and is semi-elliptical, dish-shaped, or the like in sectional shape, and atop part 23 that is attached to an upper end of thebody part 21 and is semi-elliptical, dish-shaped, or the like in sectional shape. Additionally, thestirred tank 2 holds thestirring shaft 3 so that an axial center direction A of the stirringshaft 3 coincides with a vertical direction (upward-downward direction ofFig. 1 ). - The stirring
shaft 3 is disposed at a central part of thestirred tank 2. A lower end part of the stirringshaft 3 is supported via a bearing (not illustrated) provided at thebottom part 22 of thestirred tank 2. Meanwhile, an upper end part of thestirring shaft 3 extends above thetop part 23 of thestirred tank 2, and is connected to the driving unit 5 (here, for example referred to as a motor M.) disposed above thetop part 23. The stirringshaft 3 rotates under the driving of the driving unit 5. In addition, a configuration in which the lower end part of the stirringshaft 3 is not supported at all may be adopted as thestirring shaft 3. Additionally, a configuration in which the lower end part of thestirring shaft 3 extends below thebottom part 22 and is connected to the driving unit 5 disposed below thebottom part 22 may be adopted. - As illustrated in
Figs. 2 and3 , thestirring impeller 4 includes acylindrical boss 41 that is attached to thestirring shaft 3, a tabular or circular (disk-shaped or doughnut-shaped) supportpart 42 that extends in a radial direction B of thestirring shaft 3 from theboss 41, and a plurality ofblade units 43 that are attached to a peripheral edge part (outer peripheral edge side) of thesupport part 42. Thesupport part 42, theboss 41, and theblade units 43 are fixed by welding or the like, respectively. - As illustrated in
Fig. 2 (a) , theboss 41 has a through-hole 41a inserted through the stirringshaft 3. As for thestirring impeller 4, thestirring shaft 3 is inserted through the through-hole 41a of theboss 41. The stirringimpeller 4 is attached to thestirring shaft 3 by theboss 41 and thestirring shaft 3 being screw-fastened, welded, or the like. - The
support part 42 is formed to protrude to the outer peripheral side in the radial direction B from an outer peripheral surface of theboss 41 so that theboss 41 is located at the center thereof. Additionally, thesupport part 42 is fixed to theboss 41 so as to be orthogonal to the axial center direction A of the stirringshaft 3. The length of thesupport part 42 in the radial direction B of theboss 41 can be appropriately designed according to the radius of the stirredtank 2, or the like, and can be, for example, about 20 to 50% of the diameter of the stirredtank 2, although not particularly limited. - As illustrated in
Fig. 2(a) , the plurality of blade units 43 (six in the illustrated example) are arranged at predetermined intervals along a circumferential direction of thesupport part 42. Eachblade unit 43 is arranged so as not to jump out outward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral edge of thesupport part 42. In the present embodiment, an outer peripheral edge of eachblade unit 43 and the outer peripheral edge of thesupport part 42 coincide with each other in a plan view. As illustrated inFig. 2(b) , theblade unit 43 has afirst blade part 43a that protrudes from an upper surface (first surface) 42a that is one surface of thesupport part 42 and is formed in a linear shape viewed in the radial direction, and asecond blade part 43b that protrudes from a lower surface (second surface) 42b that is the other surface of thesupport part 42 and is formed in a curved shape viewed in the radial direction. Additionally, one end of theblade unit 43 is fixed to thesupport part 42, and the other end of theblade unit 43 is arranged at a certain distance from thesupport part 42. Thesupport part 42 is rotated toward a side where theblade unit 43 is released. - Since the
first blade part 43a is formed in a linear shape viewed in the radial direction and thesecond blade part 43b is formed in a curved shape viewed in the radial direction, both of theblade parts support part 42. Thefirst blade part 43a is fixed to one surface of thesupport part 42 in a thickness direction. Thesecond blade part 43b is fixed to the other surface of thesupport part 42. - The
first blade part 43a has anopening 44 at a part thereof. Theopening 44, as illustrated inFig. 2 , is formed such that predetermined regions on a root side and a radial outer side of thefirst blade part 43a are cut off in a linear shape, and has a space through which an object to be stirred passes. In addition, theopening 44 may be formed in thesecond blade part 43b. That is, theopening 44 may be formed in at least one (one or both) of thefirst blade part 43a and thesecond blade part 43b. Thesecond blade part 43b is formed in a circular-arc curved shape viewed in the radial direction. This curved shape is not limited to a circular-arc shape, and may be, for example, a shape in which a plurality of linear portions are connected. - The circular-arc curved shape of the
second blade part 43b is, specifically, a shape that is indicated inFig. 2(a) and that is curved with a constant curvature radius (for example, a curvature radius m5 illustrated inFig. 4(b) ) between two end edges having a parallel relationship with a one-dot chain line showing a receding angle α. In addition, although thesecond blade part 43b of the present embodiment is curved with the constant curvature radius m5, the invention is not limited to this, and the second curved part may be formed, for example, in a shape that is curved with different curvature radii depending on portions. Specifically, the second blade part has a shape of which the curvature radius is made different partially from the side of thesecond blade part 43b fixed to thesupport part 42 toward an end part of thesecond blade part 43b. - Additionally, although the
second blade part 43b of the present embodiment is formed with the same curvature radius in a direction along a one-dot chain line showing the receding angle α, the invention is not limited to this, and the second blade part may have different curvature radii in this direction. Specifically, the curvature radius of thesecond blade part 43b may also be changed from the outer peripheral side of thesupport part 42 toward the center side of thesupport part 42. - Additionally, the center side of the curvature radius in the
second blade part 43b, as illustrated inFig. 4 , is located on thefirst blade part 43a, that is, on thesupport part 42 side. That is, thesecond blade part 43b has a shape that becomes concave with respect to thesupport part 42. Since thesecond blade part 43b is formed so that the center side of the curvature radius becomes thesupport part 42 side and the curved surface of thesecond blade part 43b protrudes in a direction away from thesupport part 42, the separation vortex of an object to be stirred that passes through an outer peripheral part of thefirst blade part 43a is not easily generated when the supportingpart 42 has rotated in the direction (in the direction of the end part of thesecond blade part 43b) of an illustrated arrow. - As for a
blade unit 43 and anotherblade unit 43 adjacent thereto in the circumferential direction inFig. 2(b) , the position of thefirst blade part 43a and the position of thesecond blade part 43b are reversed. More specifically, as for one blade unit 43 (theblade unit 43 illustrated inFig. 2(b) ) of twoadjacent blade units 43, thefirst blade part 43a is formed on thefirst surface 42a of thesupport part 42. However, in the case of theother blade unit 43, thesecond blade part 43b is formed on thefirst surface 42a of thesupport part 42. Similarly, thesecond blade part 43b of oneblade unit 43 is formed on thesecond surface 42b of thesupport part 42. However, in the case of theother blade unit 43, thefirst blade part 43a is formed on thesecond surface 42b of thesupport part 42. - Additionally, the arrangement and the size of the
opening 44 between thefirst blade part 43a or thesecond blade part 43b are not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set so that suppression of cavitation and suppression of the strength reduction of theblade unit 43 are achieved. For example, theopening 44 may be formed on a tip side in thefirst blade part 43a or thesecond blade part 43b, or may be formed on a radial inner side. Moreover, although theopening 44 is formed so as to be cut off in a linear shape in the present embodiment, the opening may be formed so as to be cut off in a curved shape. Additionally, theopening 44 may be formed as a hole of which the periphery is surrounded. Moreover, in the present embodiment, oneopening 44 is formed per onefirst blade part 43a, and a plurality of the openings may be formed. Additionally,openings 44 may be formed in a lattice or in a net. In addition, the driving force (drive torque) of the stirringimpeller 4 can be further reduced if alarger opening 44 is formed. - The
blade unit 43 is disposed so as to incline to a downstream side in a rotational direction with respect to the radial direction B of thesupport part 42. The angle of such inclination to the downstream side, that is, an angle (receding angle) α at which the inner peripheral side of theblade unit 43 retreats may be set to, for example, 10 degrees to 40 degrees. In addition, a configuration in which theblade unit 43 is not made to incline with respect to the radial direction may be adopted, or a configuration in which the inner peripheral side of theblade unit 43 advances may be adopted. - Subsequently, the operation of the stirring
device 1 including the stirringimpeller 4 of the present embodiment will be described. First, if the driving unit 5 of the stirringdevice 1 is driven to rotate the stirringshaft 3 in a direction (the counterclockwise direction ofFig. 2 (a) ) in which a side where the first andsecond blade parts impeller 4 rotates together with the stirringshaft 3 around the stirringshaft 3 within the stirredtank 2. If the stirringimpeller 4 rotates, the liquid L and the gas G are mixed while being sheared by thefirst blade part 43a and thesecond blade part 43b. - In a case where the stirring
impeller 4 rotates in this way, the liquid L and the gas G (objects to be stirred) pass through theopening 44 toward the upstream side (rear side) from the downstream side (front side) in the rotational direction of theblade unit 43. Additionally, after an object to be stirred in a gap portion S between thefirst blade part 43a and thesecond blade part 43b, and thesupport part 42 has moved to theopening 44 with a centrifugal force, this object to be stirred joins the object to be stirred that passes through theabove opening 44 and is dispersed further to the outer peripheral side than theblade unit 43. As mentioned above, since the objects to be stirred are made to join each other after the movement caused by the centrifugal force, it is preferable that theopening 44 is formed in a predetermined region on the radial outer side of theblade unit 43. - As above, the stirring
impeller 4 of the present embodiment includes thesupport part 42 and theblade unit 43. Theblade unit 43 has thefirst blade part 43a, thesecond blade part 43b, and theopening 44. - According to this configuration, as described above, cavitation is suppressed because the
blade unit 43 of the stirringimpeller 4 has theopening 44. In addition, since the driving force required for the driving of the stirringshaft 3 is reduced due to such an improvement in stirring efficiency, it is also possible to make the stirringshaft 3 relatively slim or and make the driving unit 5 relatively small. Additionally, cost is also reduced. Additionally, operation at a lower torque and at higher-speed rotation than ever before is also possible. - Additionally, in the present embodiment, the
first blade part 43a and thesecond blade part 43b are asymmetrically formed viewed in the radial direction. Moreover, thefirst blade part 43a in oneblade unit 43 of twoblade units 43 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is provided on thefirst surface 42a of thesupport part 42, thefirst blade part 43a of theother blade unit 43 is provided on thesecond surface 42b of thesupport part 42, thesecond blade part 43b of the oneblade unit 43 is provided on thesecond surface 42b of thesupport part 42, and thesecond blade part 43b of theother blade unit 43 is provided on thefirst surface 42a of thesupport part 42. Theopening 44 is formed in eachfirst blade part 43a. - According to this configuration, even if a cavity is generated under the presence of a large amount of gas, gas reservoirs (cavities) on back sides of the
blade units 43 adjacent to each other are not easily combined. Accordingly, for example, in a case where gas is present in large quantities in liquid, it is possible to suppress a reduction of power and degradation of stirring performance. - Additionally, by providing the above configuration, the
opening 44 is formed in an upperfirst blade part 43a in oneblade unit 43 of twoblade units 43 adjacent to each other, and theopening 44 is formed in a lowerfirst blade part 43a of theother blade unit 43. In this way, since theopenings 44 are alternately arranged up and down, it is possible to decentralize gas reservoirs generated near theblade units 43 in an upward-downward direction. Accordingly, flooding does not easily occur. The flooding is a phenomenon in which the gas reservoirs adjacent to each other near theblade units 43 are combined together and the function of theblade units 43 degrades markedly. - Additionally, by alternately arranging the
openings 44 up and down, it is possible to decentralize the flow of a fluid without being centralized on one point. Accordingly, velocity distribution in a heat transfer surface can be further equalized, and an improvement in heat transfer performance is achieved. Additionally, in a case where the invention is applied to an apparatus with high corrosiveness, induction of erosion caused by the centralization of the flow of a fluid on one point can be prevented. - Next, since the inventor performed a performance test regarding the stirring
impeller 4 of the present embodiment, test data is illustrated below. - The test conditions are as follows.
- Test tank: transparent acrylics tank (internal diameter of tank: 310 mm, 2:1 semi-elliptical bottom)
- Impeller type: stirring impeller of the present embodiment, general-purpose (target to be compared) disk turbine impeller diameter
- Impeller diameter: 124 mm (impeller diameter ratio: 40%, refer to the following for details)
- Liquid type: water (density: 1000 kg/m3, viscosity: 1 cP)
- Water temperature: 12°C
- Liquid volume: 26.1 L
- Internal: baffle plate-four flat plates (width: 24.8 mm), one ventilation nozzle
- Power: 1.0 kW/m3 (at the time of non-ventilation)
- Number of rotations: stirring impeller of the present embodiment: 627 rpm (constant), general-purpose disk turbine impeller: 350 rpm (constant)
- Ventilation gas: ambient air in testing place
- Ventilation volume: 0 vvm to 3 vvm
- The stirring
impeller 4 of the present embodiment provided for the performance test is made of stainless steel (SUS304), and has shapes illustrated inFig. 2(a), Fig.2 (b) , andFig. 3 . The sizes of main parts are as follows, and the positions of dimensions (m1 to m7) of respective parts are illustrated inFig. 4(a) and Fig. 4(b) . - Diameter of support part 42 (m1): 124 mm
- Plate thickness of support part 42 (m2): 2 mm
- Receding angle of
first blade part 43a andsecond blade part 43b (α): 30° - Axial dimension from distal end of
first blade part 43a to distal end ofsecond blade part 43b (m3): 22.5 mm - Dimension between one-dot chain lines from root to distal end illustrated in
Fig. 2(b) infirst blade part 43a andsecond blade part 43b (m4): 31.8 mm - Curvature radius to surface of
second blade part 43b onsupport part 42 side (m5): 49.2 mm - Dimension along direction of receding angle α from outer peripheral edge of
support part 42 to radial-inner-side end edge of each ofblade parts - Dimension along direction of receding angle α from outer peripheral edge of
support part 42 to radial-inner-side end edge of opening 44 (m7): 13.5 mm - Additionally, a general-purpose disk turbine impeller used as a target to be compared is an oblong plate-shaped disk in which the diameter of a disk having a disk shape is 99 mm, and blades are arranged along a radial direction of the disk. In this turbine impeller, six blades are arranged at regular intervals in a circumferential direction of the disk, the diameter dimension of a blade tip is 124 mm, and each blade has a vertical dimension of 25 mm and a horizontal dimension of 30 mm.
- The performance test was performed by changing the ventilation volume from 0 vvm to 3 vvm after the power at the time of non-ventilation was set to 1.0 kW/m3 in both of the impellers. An upper graph illustrated in
Fig. 5 is a graph illustrating the relationship between the ventilation volume and kLa (overall mass transfer capacity coefficient) . kLa shows that more gas is dissolved in liquid as the numerical value of kLa is larger. Additionally, a lower graph illustrated inFig. 5 is a graph illustrating the relationship between the ventilation volume and power (per unit volume of liquid) transmitted to the liquid. As is clear from each graph, in a case where the ventilation volume is the same, it is clear that the stirring impeller 4 (a line connecting circle plots) of the present embodiment has larger kLa and the power transmitted to the liquid is larger (that is, reduction of power is smaller), compared to the general-purpose disk turbine impeller (a line connecting square plots on the graph) that is a target to be compared. - From the above, it was proved by the performance test that the stirring
impeller 4 of the present embodiment is superior to the general-purpose disk turbine impeller. - Although the stirring
impeller 4 and thestirring device 1 related to the present embodiment are as above, the stirring impeller and the stirring device related to the invention are not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Additionally, the effects of the stirringimpeller 4 and thestirring device 1 related to the invention are not limited to the above-described effects. - In the above embodiment, an example in which six
blade units 43 are provided at regular intervals in the circumferential direction has been mentioned as the stirringimpeller 4. However, the invention is not limited to this. In addition to this, the number ofblade units 43 may be appropriately set to, for example, 4 to 8 at regular intervals. Additionally, the intervals between theblade units 43 may be appropriately set to different intervals. - Additionally, in the above embodiment, an example in which the stirring
shaft 3 and the stirringimpeller 4 rotate in the counterclockwise direction viewed from thetop part 23 side to thebottom part 22 side has been mentioned. In addition to this, however, an aspect in which the stirringshaft 3 and the stirringimpeller 4 rotate in the clockwise direction may be adopted. In this case, flow reverse to that of the above embodiment is obtained as the flow of an object to be stirred. - Additionally, applications to which the stirring impeller and the stirring device related to the invention are applied are not particularly limited. For example, the stirring impeller and the stirring device of the invention are used for a reaction operation accompanied by the mass transfer of gas and liquid. As this reaction operation, a gas absorption reaction operation in a hydrogenation reaction tank, an oxidation reaction tank, or the like is mentioned. In addition, a reaction operation under the presence of steam in a solvent removing agent reaction tank, a flash crystallization reaction tank, or the like after rubber polymerization is mentioned. Moreover, the stirring impeller and the stirring device of the invention are also used for a separation/extraction operation.
- The present embodiment is described together. The stirring
impeller 4 related to the present embodiment is the stirringimpeller 4 attached to the stirringshaft 3 provided in thestirring device 1, and includes the plate-shapedsupport part 42 that is attached to the stirringshaft 3, and the plurality ofblade units 43 that are disposed on the outer peripheral edge side of thesupport part 42, thesupport part 42 has the first surface and the second surface, and each of theblade units 43 includes thefirst blade part 43a that protrudes from one of the first surface and the second surface of thesupport part 42, thesecond blade part 43b that protrudes from the other one of the first surface and the second surface in thesupport part 42 and is made asymmetrical to thefirst blade part 43a, and theopening 44 that is formed in at least one of thefirst blade part 43a and thesecond blade part 43b. - According to this configuration, after an object to be stirred in the gap portion (S) between the first and
second blade parts support part 42 has moved to theopening 44 with a centrifugal force, this object to be stirred joins the object to be stirred that passes through theabove opening 44 and is dispersed further to the outer peripheral side than theblade unit 43. Since gathering and stagnation in the object to be stirred in the gap portion between the first andsecond blade parts support part 42 are suppressed by virtue of such a flow of the object to be stirred, cavitation can be suppressed. Since the resistance that theblade unit 43 receives decreases as much as the object to be stirred passes through theopening 44, the driving force of the stirringimpeller 4 can be reduced. - Additionally, in the stirring
impeller 4 of the above configuration, thesupport part 42 is formed in a circular shape, the plurality ofblade units 43 are provided at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of thesupport part 42, thefirst blade part 43a of oneblade unit 43 of twoblade units support part 42 is provided on the first surface of thesupport part 42, thefirst blade part 43a of theother blade unit 43 is provided of the second surface of thesupport part 42, thesecond blade part 43b of the oneblade unit 43 is provided on the second surface of thesupport part 42, and the second blade part of the other blade unit is provided on the first surface of the support part. - According to this configuration, even if a cavity is generated under the presence of a large amount of gas, gas reservoirs (cavities) on back sides of the
blade units - Additionally, regarding the
first blade part 43a and thesecond blade part 43b that are made asymmetrical to each other, for example, a configuration in which thefirst blade part 43a is formed in a linear shape and thesecond blade part 43b is formed in a curved shape may be adopted. - As described above, according to the present embodiment, the stirring
impeller 4 with improved stirring efficiency and thestirring device 1 including the stirringimpeller 4 are provided. -
