Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dispergiervorrichtung mit einer einen Antrieb aufweisenden Antriebseinheit und mit einem ein Schaftrohr aufweisenden Dispergierwerkzeug, an dessen freien, dem Antrieb abgewandten Ende ein Dispergierrotor vorgesehen ist, welcher über eine mit dem Antrieb verbindbare oder verbundene, in dem Schaftrohr angeordnete Rotorwelle antreibbar ist.The invention relates to a dispersing device having a drive unit having a drive unit and a dispersing tool having a shaft tube, at the free end facing away from the drive, a dispersing rotor which can be driven via a rotor shaft which can be connected or connected to the drive and is arranged in the shaft tube.

Derartige Dispergiervorrichtungen mit Dispergierwerkzeugen sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen aus dem Stand der Technik vorbekannt, so zum Beispiel aus der Druckschrift WO 2012/041412 A1 . Dabei ist es gängig, unterschiedliche Dispergierwerkzeuge mit einer Antriebseinheit zu kombinieren. Jedem der Dispergierwerkzeuge, die mit der Antriebseinheit kombiniert werden können, sind dabei bestimmte Betriebsparameter zugeordnet, die eingehalten werden sollten, um eine sachgemäße Benutzung der Dispergierwerkzeuge zu ermöglichen und gewünschte Dispergierergebnisse erzielen zu können.Such dispersing devices with dispersing tools are already known in various embodiments from the prior art, for example from the document WO 2012/041412 A1 , It is common to combine different dispersing tools with a drive unit. Each of the dispersing tools, which can be combined with the drive unit, are assigned to certain operating parameters which should be adhered to in order to allow proper use of the dispersing tools and to achieve desired dispersing results.

In der Regel haben mit solchen Dispergiervorrichtungen betriebene Dispergierwerkzeuge beispielsweise eine zulässige Standzeit oder Betriebsdauer, die nicht überschritten werden sollte, wenn Beschädigungen an den Dispergierwerkzeugen vermieden werden sollen.As a rule, dispersing tools operated with such dispersing devices have, for example, a permissible service life or operating time which should not be exceeded if damage to the dispersing tools is to be avoided.

Ferner gibt es Dispergierwerkzeuge, die für unterschiedliche Drehzahlen zugelassen sind und somit nicht mit zu hoher Drehzahl betrieben werden sollten.There are also dispersing tools that are approved for different speeds and therefore should not be operated at too high a speed.

Bei der Verwendung solcher aus dem Stand der Technik vorbekannten Dispergiervorrichtungen ist es daher bisher in der Regel notwendig, darauf zu achten, ausgewählte Dispergierwerkzeuge nicht zu lange und nicht mit einer für die Dispergierwerkzeuge nicht zugelassenen Drehzahl zu betreiben. Dies kann die Handhabung der Dispergiervorrichtung unnötig erschweren.When using such previously known from the prior art dispersing devices, it is therefore usually necessary to ensure that selected dispersing tools are not operated for too long and not at a speed that is not permitted for the dispersing tools. This may unnecessarily complicate the handling of the dispersing device.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Dispergiervorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, deren Handhabung vereinfacht ist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a dispersing device of the type mentioned, the handling is simplified.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei der eingangs definierten Dispergiervorrichtung durch die Mittel und Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und insbesondere dadurch gelöst, dass das Dispergierwerkzeug einen Transponder und die Dispergiervorrichtung eine Sender-Empfängereinheit zum Auslesen des Transponders aufweisen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, das mit der Antriebseinheit der Dispergiervorrichtung gekoppelte Dispergierwerkzeug automatisiert zu identifizieren und mit dem angekoppelten Dispergierwerkzeug verknüpfte Daten bei der Verwendung des Dispergierwerkzeugs automatisiert zu berücksichtigen. Dies kann insbesondere durch die Antriebseinheit erfolgen, indem auf dem Transponder hinterlegte Daten und Informationen automatisiert von der Sender-Empfängereinheit ausgelesen werden.This object is achieved in the case of the dispersion device defined above by the means and features of claim 1 and in particular by the fact that the dispersing tool has a transponder and the dispersing device has a transceiver unit for reading out the transponder. In this way, it is possible to automatically identify the dispersing tool coupled to the drive unit of the dispersing device and to automatically take into account data associated with the coupled dispersing tool when using the dispersing tool. This can be done in particular by the drive unit by data stored on the transponder and information is automatically read out from the transceiver unit.

Die Antriebseinheit, insbesondere die Sender-Empfängereinheit der Antriebseinheit, ist zur Identifikation des Dispergierwerkzeugs mittels auf dem Transponder hinterlegbarer oder hinterlegten Daten eingerichtet.The drive unit, in particular the transmitter-receiver unit of the drive unit, is set up to identify the dispersing tool by means of data that can be stored or stored on the transponder.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Transponder an einer Außenseite des Schaftrohrs angeordnet ist. Zusätzlich ist es möglich, dass die Sender-Empfängereinheit in oder an der Antriebseinheit ausgebildet ist. So kann jedes Dispergierwerkzeug, das mit der Antriebseinheit der erfindungsgemäßen Dispergiervorrichtung verbunden werden beziehungsweise an diese angeschlossen werden kann, mit einem Transponder ausgestattet sein. Auf dem Transponder können dispergierwerkzeugspezifische Daten hinterlegt sein, die dann von der Sender-Empfängereinheit in oder an der Antriebseinheit vorzugsweise automatisiert ausgelesen und von der Antriebseinheit ausgewertet werden können. Da der Transponder an einer Außenseite des Schaftrohrs des Dispergierwerkzeugs angeordnet ist, kann eine zuverlässige Übertragung von Daten von dem Transponder an die Sender-Empfängereinheit und von der Sender-Empfängereinheit zurück an den Transponder gewährleistet sein, selbst wenn das Schaftrohr des Dispergierwerkzeugs aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen und daher potentiell abschirmenden Material hergestellt ist.According to the invention it is provided that the transponder on a Outside of the shaft tube is arranged. In addition, it is possible that the transceiver unit is formed in or on the drive unit. Thus, any dispersing tool which can be connected to the drive unit of the dispersing device according to the invention or connected thereto can be equipped with a transponder. On the transponder dispersing tool specific data can be stored, which can then be read out by the transmitter-receiver unit in or on the drive unit preferably automated and evaluated by the drive unit. Since the transponder is arranged on an outer side of the shaft tube of the dispersing tool, reliable transmission of data from the transponder to the transceiver unit and from the transceiver unit back to the transponder can be ensured, even if the shaft tube of the dispersing tool is made of an electrically conductive material and therefore potentially shielding material is made.

Dabei kann das Dispergierwerkzeug an seinem der Antriebseinheit in Gebrauchsstellung zugewandten antriebsseitigen Ende eine Kupplung und die Antriebseinheit eine dazu passend ausgebildete Gegenkupplung zur Übertragung von Drehmomenten von dem Antrieb auf die Rotorwelle aufweisen.In this case, the dispersing tool on its drive unit in the use position facing the drive-side end of a clutch and the drive unit have a matching mating coupling for transmitting torque from the drive to the rotor shaft.

Ferner kann die Dispergiervorrichtung zwischen der Antriebseinheit und dem Dispergierwerkzeug eine Werkzeugkupplung, insbesondere eine Bajonettwerkzeugkupplung aufweisen, über die das Dispergierwerkzeug lösbar mit der Antriebseinheit und/oder dem Antrieb der Dispergiervorrichtung kuppelbar ist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, das Dispergierwerkzeug lösbar mit dem Antrieb der Dispergiervorrichtung zu verbinden.Furthermore, the dispersing device between the drive unit and the dispersing tool can have a tool coupling, in particular a bayonet tool coupling, via which the dispersing tool can be detachably coupled to the drive unit and / or the drive of the dispersing device. In this way it is possible to detachably connect the dispersing tool to the drive of the dispersing device.

Um eine störungsfreie Übertragung von Daten von dem Transponder an die Sender-Empfängereinheit zu ermöglichen, kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn der Transponder an einem, beispielsweise dem bereits zuvor erwähnten, oder benachbart zu einem, beispielsweise dem bereits zuvor erwähnten, antriebsseitigen Ende des Schaftrohrs angeordnet ist. Dabei ist es möglich, dass der Transponder an einer, beispielsweise der bereits zuvor erwähnten, oder benachbart zu einer, beispielsweise der bereits zuvor erwähnten, Kupplung des Dispergierwerkzeugs oder einer oder der werkzeugkupplung der Dispergiervorrichtung angeordnet ist. So kann der Transponder in Gebrauchsstellung des Dispergierwerkzeugs mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit außerhalb eines zu verarbeitenden Mediums an dem Dispergierwerkzeug angeordnet sein. Auf diese Weise kann vermieden werden, dass der Transponder durch zu verarbeitendes Medium abgeschirmt und eine Übertragung von Energie und Daten an den Transponder gestört wird.In order to enable a trouble-free transmission of data from the transponder to the transceiver unit, it may be expedient if the transponder is arranged on one, for example the previously mentioned, or adjacent to, for example, the already mentioned, drive-side end of the shaft tube is. It is possible that the transponder is arranged on one, for example, the previously mentioned, or adjacent to, for example, the previously mentioned, coupling of the dispersing tool or one or the tool coupling of the dispersing device. Thus, in the position of use of the dispersing tool, the transponder can almost certainly be arranged outside the medium to be processed on the dispersing tool. In this way it can be avoided that the transponder is shielded by medium to be processed and a transmission of energy and data to the transponder is disturbed.

Noch zuverlässiger kann der Transponder vor möglicherweise störendem Medium geschützt sein, wenn er in Gebrauchsstellung des Dispergierwerkzeugs innerhalb einer Dispergierwerkzeugaufnahme der Antriebseinheit angeordnet ist.Even more reliably, the transponder can be protected from possibly interfering medium if it is arranged in the position of use of the dispersing tool within a dispersing tool receptacle of the drive unit.

Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Dispergiervorrichtung kann zusätzlich oder alternativ zu dem zuvor Beschriebenen auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Transponder beschreibbar ist und dass die Sender-Empfängereinheit zum Beschreiben des Transponders eingerichtet ist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, nach Verwendung des Dispergierwerkzeugs an der Antriebseinheit der Dispergiervorrichtung mit Hilfe der Sender-Empfängereinheit Daten auf dem Transponder des Dispergierwerkzeugs zu hinterlegen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the dispersing device according to the invention, in addition or as an alternative to the previously described, it can also be provided that the transponder can be written on and that the transceiver unit is set up to write to the transponder. In this way, after using the dispersing tool on the drive unit of the dispersing device, it is possible to deposit data on the transponder of the dispersing tool with the aid of the transmitter-receiver unit.

So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, dass nach Erreichen der zulässigen Standzeit oder Betriebsdauer des Dispergierwerkzeugs mit Hilfe der Sender-Empfängereinheit eine Information in Form eines entsprechenden Vermerks hinterlegt wird, die eine weitere Verwendung des Dispergierwerkzeugs verhindert. So ist es möglich, dass bei einem erneuten Verwenden des Dispergierwerkzeugs dieses zunächst von der Sender-Empfängereinheit der Antriebseinheit identifiziert und dann aufgrund des hinterlegten Sperrvermerks eine Aktivierung der Antriebseinheit in Kombination mit dem gesperrten Dispergierwerkzeug unterbunden wird.Thus, it is conceivable, for example, that after reaching the permissible service life or operating time of the dispersing tool with the aid of the transmitter-receiver unit, information in the form of a corresponding note is deposited, which prevents further use of the dispersing tool. Thus, it is possible that when the dispersing tool is used again, it is first identified by the transmitter-receiver unit of the drive unit and then, on the basis of the stored blocking remark, an activation of the drive unit in combination with the locked dispersing tool is prevented.

Der Funktionsumfang der Dispergiervorrichtung kann erweitert sein, wenn an dem Dispergierwerkzeug wenigstens ein Sensor angeordnet ist. Dieser Sensor kann bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Dispergiervorrichtung an oder benachbart zu dem freien Ende des Schaftrohrs an dem Schaftrohr angeordnet sein. Als geeignete Sensoren kommen beispielsweise Temperatursensoren, PH-Wert-Sensoren und/oder auch Drucksensoren und/oder andere Sensoren, die sich zur Überwachung von Dispergierprozessen eignen, zur Anwendung.The functional scope of the dispersing device can be extended if at least one sensor is arranged on the dispersing tool. In a preferred embodiment of the dispersing device, this sensor can be arranged on or adjacent to the free end of the shaft tube on the shaft tube. Suitable sensors include, for example, temperature sensors, pH sensors and / or pressure sensors and / or other sensors which are suitable for monitoring dispersing processes.

Zur Übertragung von Messdaten kann ein, beispielsweise der bereits zuvor erwähnte wenigstens eine, Sensor über eine Sensorverbindung mit dem Transponder des Dispergierwerkzeugs verbindbar oder verbunden sein. Dabei kann die Sensorverbindung zwischen dem wenigstens einen Sensor und dem Transponder kabelgebunden ausgebildet sein. Es sei jedoch darauf hingewiesen, dass unter dem Begriff Sensorverbindung im Kontext der erfindungsgemäßen Dispergiervorrichtung auch solche Sensorverbindungen zu verstehen sind, die drahtlos oder aber auch mittels einer elektrisch leitfähigen Beschichtung realisiert sind.For the transmission of measurement data, a sensor, for example the sensor already mentioned above, can be connectable or connected to the transponder of the dispersing tool via a sensor connection. In this case, the sensor connection between the at least one sensor and the transponder can be designed to be wired. It should be noted, however, that the term sensor connection in the context of the dispersing device according to the invention also means those sensor connections which are realized wirelessly or else by means of an electrically conductive coating.

Somit ist der Begriff Sensorverbindung im Kontext der vorliegenden Erfindung nicht auf eine kabelgestützte oder kabelgebundene Sensorverbindung zwischen dem Sensor und dem Transponder beschränkt.Thus, in the context of the present invention, the term sensor connection is not limited to a wired or wired sensor connection between the sensor and the transponder.

Im Zusammenspiel mit wenigstens einem Sensor kann es zudem zweckmäßig sein, wenn der Transponder eine Auswerteelektronik zur Verarbeitung von dem wenigstens einen Sensor empfangener Messdaten aufweist und zum drahtlosen Übertragen von Messdaten an die Antriebseinheit eingerichtet ist. Insbesondere können die Messdaten dabei drahtlos an die Sender-Empfängereinheit der Antriebseinheit der Dispergiervorrichtung übertragen werden.In conjunction with at least one sensor, it may also be expedient if the transponder has evaluation electronics for processing measurement data received by the at least one sensor and is set up for the wireless transmission of measurement data to the drive unit. In particular, the measurement data can be transmitted wirelessly to the transmitter-receiver unit of the drive unit of the dispersing device.

Die Reinigung des Dispergierwerkzeugs kann erleichtert sein, wenn eine, beispielsweise die bereits zuvor erwähnte Sensorverbindung, der Transponder und/oder ein, beispielsweise der bereits zuvor erwähnte, wenigstens eine Sensor flüssigkeitsdicht, vorzugsweise spülmaschinenfest, ausgebildet und/oder abgedichtet sind. Das bedeutet also, dass das Dispergierwerkzeug mit einem dicht, vorzugsweise hermetisch, geschlossenen Messsystem ausgestattet sein kann, das den Einsatz des Dispergierwerkzeugs auch in rauhen Umgebungen ermöglicht. Somit sind keine offenen Kontakte oder Kabel vorhanden, die unter dem Einfluss rauher Bedingungen und/oder aggressiver Medien Schaden nehmen könnten.The cleaning of the dispersing tool can be facilitated if one, for example the previously mentioned sensor connection, the transponder and / or one, for example the previously mentioned, at least one sensor is liquid-tight, preferably dishwasher-safe, formed and / or sealed. This means that the dispersing tool can be equipped with a tight, preferably hermetic, closed measuring system which enables the use of the dispersing tool even in harsh environments. Thus, there are no open contacts or cables that could be damaged under the influence of harsh conditions and / or aggressive media.

Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Dispergiervorrichtung kann vorgesehen sein, dass eine, beispielsweise die bereits zuvor erwähnte, Sensorverbindung in einer in das Schaftrohr eingebrachten Nut angeordnet, insbesondere in der Nut verschweißt oder verlötet ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Sensorverbindung zwischen dem Sensor und dem Transponder besonders gut geschützt an dem Schachtrohr des Dispergierwerkzeugs angebracht sein.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the dispersing device can be provided that, for example, the sensor connection already mentioned above, arranged in a groove introduced into the shaft tube, in particular welded or soldered in the groove. In this way, the sensor connection between the sensor and the transponder particularly well protected to be attached to the shaft of the dispersing tool.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu ist es auch möglich, dass eine, beispielsweise die bereits zuvor erwähnte, Sensorverbindung ein in einem Sensorrohr verlaufendes Sensorkabel umfasst. Bevorzugterweise kann dabei das Sensorrohr in Gebrauchsstellung in einer, beispielsweise der bereits zuvor erwähnten, Nut in dem Schaftrohr angeordnet, zum Beispiel verschweißt oder verlötet sein. Auf diese Weise kann das die Datensignale leitende Sensorkabel geschützt im Inneren des zuvor beschriebenen Sensorrohrs angeordnet sein. Das Sensorrohr wiederum kann versenkt in der Nut in dem Schaftrohr angeordnet werden, damit dieses nicht störend übersteht.Additionally or alternatively, it is also possible that one, for example, the previously mentioned sensor connection comprises a sensor cable running in a sensor tube. Preferably, the sensor tube can be arranged in the position of use in a, for example, the previously mentioned, groove in the shaft tube, for example, welded or soldered. In this way, the sensor cable, which conducts the data signals, can be arranged protected inside the previously described sensor tube. The sensor tube in turn can be sunk in the groove in the shaft tube, so that it does not interfere.

Wenn das Schaftrohr und die in Gebrauchsstellung in der Nut angeordnete Sensorverbindung und/oder ein, beispielsweise das zuvor erwähnte, Sensorrohr der Sensorverbindung derart überschliffen sind, dass das Schaftrohr entlang der Sensorverbindung eine außenseitig geschlossene, insbesondere glatte und/oder runde, Außenkontur aufweist, ist es möglich, ein Dispergierwerkzeug mit einem Schaftrohr zu erhalten, das sehr gut zu reinigen ist und zum Beispiel durch eine runde Durchführung in ein Laborreaktorgefäß eingesteckt und vakuumdicht abgedichtet werden kann.When the shaft tube and the sensor connection arranged in the groove in the position of use and / or a sensor tube of the sensor connection are ground, for example, that the shaft tube has an externally closed, in particular smooth and / or round, outer contour along the sensor connection It is possible to obtain a dispersing tool with a shaft tube which is very easy to clean and, for example, can be inserted through a round passage into a laboratory reactor vessel and sealed in a vacuum-tight manner.

Zwar wäre ein überstehendes Sensorrohr oder ein tiefer in einer entsprechenden Nut in dem Schaftrohr angeordnetes Sensorrohr einfacher zu fertigen, jedoch wäre ein solches einerseits schwieriger zu reinigen und andererseits auch schwerer durch eine runde Durchführung in einem Laborreaktorgefäß durchzustecken und diese runde Durchführung dann vakuumdicht abzudichten.Although an overhanging sensor tube or a sensor tube arranged deeper in a corresponding groove in the shaft tube would be easier to produce, on the one hand it would be more difficult to clean and on the other hand more difficult to penetrate through a round passage in a laboratory reactor vessel and then seal this round passage in a vacuum-tight manner.

Um den Dispergiervorgang in Abhängigkeit von auf dem Transponder hinterlegten Daten und/oder in Abhängigkeit von einem, beispielsweise dem bereits zuvor erwähnten, wenigstens einen Sensor erfassten Messwerten steuern und/oder regeln zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Dispergiervorrichtung, insbesondere die Antriebseinheit, eine mit dem Antrieb und der Sender-Empfängereinheit zum Datenaustausch verbundene Steuer- und/oder Regeleinheit aufweist. Mit dieser kann der Antrieb in Abhängigkeit von von der Sender-Empfängereinheit an die Steuer- und/oder Regeleinheit übertragenen Daten steuerbar und/oder regelbar sein. Die Sender-Empfängereinheit wiederum kann die Daten von dem Transponder und/oder von einem, beispielsweise dem bereits zuvor erwähnten, mit dem Transponder verbundenen wenigstens einen Sensor an dem Schaftrohr des Dispergierwerkzeugs erhalten und :diese dann an die Steuer- und/oder Regeleinheit übertragen.In order to be able to control and / or regulate the dispersing process as a function of data stored on the transponder and / or as a function of a measured value, for example the previously mentioned, at least one sensor, it is expedient if the dispersing device, in particular the drive unit, a control and / or regulating unit connected to the drive and the transceiver unit for data exchange. With this, the drive can be controllable and / or controllable in dependence on data transmitted to the control and / or regulating unit by the transceiver unit. The transmitter-receiver unit in turn can receive the data from the transponder and / or from a, for example, the previously mentioned, connected to the transponder at least one sensor on the shaft tube of the dispersing tool and: then transfer this to the control and / or regulating unit.

Vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn der Transponder als RFID-Chip ausgebildet ist. Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Transponder einen Datenspeicher aufweist, auf dem dispergierwerkzeugspezifische Daten, insbesondere Betriebsdaten des Dispergierwerkzeugs und/oder von einem, beispielsweise dem bereits zuvor erwähnten, wenigstens einen Sensor des Dispergierwerkzeugs empfangene Daten und/oder von der Sender-Empfängereiriheit an den Transponder gesendete Daten speicherbar und/oder gespeichert sind.It may be advantageous if the transponder is designed as an RFID chip. Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that the transponder has a data memory on which data specific to dispersing tool, in particular operating data of the dispersing tool and / or data received from a, for example, the previously mentioned, at least one sensor of the dispersing tool and / or from the transmitter Empfängerereiriheit sent to the transponder data stored and / or stored.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Benutzungsdauer oder Betriebsdauer oder auch die Standzeit des Dispergierwerkzeugs mit Hilfe der Sender-Empfängereinheit der Antriebseinheit während der Benutzung oder zumindest nach einer Benutzung des Dispergierwerkzeugs zu aktualisieren und somit Informationen und Anhaltspunkte zu erhalten, wann ein Austausch und/oder eine Wartung/Reparatur des Dispergierwerkzeugs durchgeführt werden sollte.In this way, it is possible to update the period of use or operating life or the life of the dispersing tool by means of the transmitter-receiver unit of the drive unit during use or at least after using the dispersing tool and thus information and to obtain indications as to when an exchange and / or maintenance / repair of the dispersing tool should be carried out.

Andererseits können auf diese weise auch während des Dispergiervorgangs erfasste Messwerte, die in der Regel das zu dispergierende Medium betreffen, mitgeschrieben und auf dem Datenspeicher des Transponders hinterlegt werden. Die auf dem Datenspeicher des Transponders hinterlegten Daten können entweder bereits während eines Dispergierprozesses mit Hilfe der Sender-Empfängereinheit ausgelesen werden oder aber nach Beenden eines Dispergiervorgangs an die Sender-Empfängereinheit zur weiteren Auswertung übertragen werden.On the other hand, measured values recorded during the dispersing process, which as a rule relate to the medium to be dispersed, can also be written down in this way and stored on the data memory of the transponder. The data stored on the data memory of the transponder can either be read out during a dispersion process with the aid of the transmitter-receiver unit or, after completion of a dispersion process, be transmitted to the transmitter-receiver unit for further evaluation.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Dispergiervorrichtung kann zudem vorgesehen sein, dass die Dispergiervorrichtung eine Temperiereinrichtung zum Temperieren zu dispergierenden Mediums aufweist und/oder mit einer solchen verbindbar oder in Gebrauchsstellung verbunden ist.In a further advantageous embodiment of the dispersing device according to the invention, it can also be provided that the dispersing device has a tempering device for tempering the medium to be dispersed and / or is connected to such or can be connected in the position of use.

Vorzugsweise kann diese Temperiereinrichtung dabei in Abhängigkeit von einem, beispielsweise dem bereits zuvor erwähnten, wenigstens einen Sensor und/oder von von dem Transponder übermittelten Daten, insbesondere mittels einer, beispielsweise der bereits zuvor erwähnten, Steuer-Regeleinheit der Dispergiervorrichtung steuerbar oder regelbar sein.In this case, this tempering device may preferably be controllable or regulatable depending on, for example, the previously mentioned at least one sensor and / or data transmitted by the transponder, in particular by means of a control unit of the dispersing device, for example the one already mentioned above.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, das zu dispergierende Medium während des Dispergierens entsprechend des mit Hilfe des wenigstens einen Sensors ermittelten Messwerten entsprechend zu erwärmen und/oder abzukühlen, sofern dies aufgrund des ermittelten Messwerts notwendig ist. Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass dieser Messwert in der Regel ein Temperaturwert sein wird. Es ist jedoch auch nicht ausgeschlossen, andere Messwerte und/oder Parameter zu dispergierenden Mediums mit Hilfe des wenigstens einen Sensors zu bestimmen und in Abhängigkeit der ermittelten Messwerte dieser Parameter nicht nur den Antrieb der Antriebseinheit, sondern eben auch die Temperiereinrichtung der Dispergiervorrichtung entsprechend zu regeln und/oder zu steuern.In this way, it is possible to appropriately heat and / or cool the medium to be dispersed during dispersion in accordance with the measured values determined with the aid of the at least one sensor, if this is necessary on the basis of the determined measured value. It should be noted that this measured value will usually be a temperature value. However, it is also not excluded to determine other measured values and / or parameters of the dispersing medium with the aid of the at least one sensor and to regulate not only the drive of the drive unit but also the tempering device of the dispersing device in accordance with the determined measured values of these parameters and / or to control.

Die Figuren 1 und 6 zeigen eine im Ganzen mit 1 bezeichnete Dispergiervorrichtung mit einer einen Antrieb 2 aufweisenden Antriebseinheit 3 und mit einem ein Schaftrohr 4 aufweisenden Dispergierwerkzeug 5. An einem freien, dem Antrieb 2 abgewandten Ende 6 des Schaftrohrs 4 und damit auch des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 ist ein Dispergierrotor 7 vorgesehen, der über eine mit dem Antrieb 2 verbindbare und in Gebrauchsstellung verbundene, in dem Schaftrohr 4 angeordnete Rotorwelle 8 antreibbar ist.
An dem freien, dem Antrieb 2 abgewandten Ende 6 des Schaftrohrs 4 ist ein Stator 9 ausgebildet, relativ zu dem sich der Dispergierrotor 7 im Betrieb der Dispergiervorrichtung 1 dreht und so das zu dispergierende Medium, das in den Figuren nicht dargestellt ist, durchmischt.The FIGS. 1 and 6 show a designated as a whole with 1 dispersing device with a drive 2 having a drive unit 3 and with a shaft tube 4 having dispersing tool 5. At a free, the drive 2 opposite end 6 of the shaft tube 4 and thus also of the dispersing 5 a dispersing rotor 7 is provided which can be driven via a rotor shaft 8 which can be connected to the drive 2 and is connected in the position of use, arranged in the shaft tube 4.
At the free end 6 of the shaft tube 4 facing away from the drive 2, a stator 9 is formed relative to which the dispersing rotor 7 rotates during operation of the dispersing device 1 and thus mixes the medium to be dispersed, which is not shown in the figures.

Das Dispergierwerkzeug 5 weist einen Transponder 10 und die Dispergiervorrichtung 1 eine Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 zum Auslesen des Transponders 10 auf.The dispersing tool 5 has a transponder 10 and the dispersing device 1 a transmitter-receiver unit 11 for reading the transponder 10.

Die Antriebseinheit 3 ist mittels ihrer Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 dazu eingerichtet, das Dispergierwerkzeug 5 mithilfe auf dem Transponder 10 hinterlegbarer oder hinterlegten Daten zu identifizieren.The drive unit 3 is set up by means of its transmitter-receiver unit 11 to identify the dispersing tool 5 by means of data that can be stored or stored on the transponder 10.

Sämtliche Figuren zeigen, dass der Transponder 10 an einer Außenseite 12 des Schaftrohrs 4 des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 angeordnet ist. Bei der in den Figuren 1 und 6 dargestellten Dispergiervorrichtung 1 ist die Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 innerhalb der Antriebseinheit 3 ausgebildet.All figures show that the transponder 10 at a Outside 12 of the shaft tube 4 of the dispersing 5 is arranged. In the in the FIGS. 1 and 6 Dispergiervorrichtung 1 shown, the transmitter-receiver unit 11 is formed within the drive unit 3.

Das Dispergierwerkzeug 5 weist an seinem der Antriebseinheit 3 in Gebrauchsstellung zugewandten antriebsseitigen Ende 13 eine Kupplung 14 und die Antriebseinheit 3 eine dazu passend ausgebildete Gegenkupplung 15 zur Übertragung von Drehmomenten von dem Antrieb 2 auf die Rotorwelle 8 auf. Ferner ist an der Dispergiervorrichtung 1 eine als Bajonettwerkzeugkupplung ausgebildete Werkzeugkupplung 16 vorgesehen, mittels derer das Dispergierwerkzeug 5 fest mit der Antriebseinheit 3 der Dispergiervorrichtung 1 verbunden werden kann. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, das Dispergierwerkzeug 5 lösbar mit dem Antrieb 2 der Antriebseinheit 3 der Dispergiervorrichtung 1 zu verbinden.The dispersing tool 5 has at its drive unit 3 in the use position facing drive-side end 13, a clutch 14 and the drive unit 3 has a matching mating coupling 15 for transmitting torque from the drive 2 to the rotor shaft 8. Furthermore, a tool coupling 16 designed as a bayonet tool coupling is provided on the dispersing device 1, by means of which the dispersing tool 5 can be fixedly connected to the drive unit 3 of the dispersing device 1. In this way, it is possible to detachably connect the dispersing tool 5 to the drive 2 of the drive unit 3 of the dispersing device 1.

Sämtliche Figuren zeigen außerdem, dass der Transponder 10 benachbart zu dem antriebsseitigen Ende 13 des Schaftrohrs 4 und benachbart zu der Kupplung 14 des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 und auch benachbart zu der Werkzeugkupplung 16 angeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht, dass der Transponder 10 in Gebrauchsstellung des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 außerhalb eines zu verarbeitenden Mediums an dem Dispergierwerkzeug 5 angeordnet ist.All figures also show that the transponder 10 is arranged adjacent to the drive-side end 13 of the shaft tube 4 and adjacent to the coupling 14 of the dispersing tool 5 and also adjacent to the tool coupling 16. This makes it possible for the transponder 10 to be arranged on the dispersing tool 5 outside a medium to be processed in the position of use of the dispersing tool 5.

Insbesondere das Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Dispergiervorrichtung 1 gemäß Figur 5 zeigt dabei, dass der Transponder 10 so nah benachbart an der als Bajonettwerkzeugkupplung 16 ausgebildeten werkzeugkupplung des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 angeordnet ist, dass er innerhalb einer Dispergierwerkzeugaufnahme 17 der Antriebseinheit 3 der Dispergiervorrichtung angeordnet und so durch diese vor dem Einfluss des zu dispergierenden Mediums geschützt ist. Die in den Figuren dargestellten Transponder 10 sind beschreibbar und die Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 der Antriebseinheit 3 ist zum Beschreiben der Transponder 11 eingerichtet.In particular, the embodiment of the dispersing device 1 according to the invention FIG. 5 shows that the transponder 10 is arranged so close to the adjacent as a bayonet coupling 16 tool coupling of the dispersing tool 5, that it is disposed within a dispersing tool holder 17 of the drive unit 3 of the dispersing device and so by this before the Influence of the medium to be dispersed is protected. The transponders 10 illustrated in the figures can be written on and the transceiver unit 11 of the drive unit 3 is set up to write to the transponders 11.

Benachbart zu dem freien Ende 6 des Schaftrohrs 4 weist das in den Figuren 6 bis 10 dargestellte Dispergierwerkzeug 5 einen Sensor 18 auf, der im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 als Temperatursensor ausgebildet ist. Bei einem in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Dispergiervorrichtung ist dieser Sensor 18 als PH-Wert-Sensor und/oder als Drucksensor ausgebildet. Die Verwendung weiterer Sensoren mit anderer Funktionalität ist nicht ausgeschlossen. Zudem ist es denkbar, ein Dispergierwerkzeug 5 mit mehreren, vorzugsweise unterschiedlichen Sensoren 18 auszustatten.Adjacent to the free end 6 of the shaft tube 4 has in the FIGS. 6 to 10 shown dispersing 5 a sensor 18 which is formed in the present embodiment of the dispersing 5 as a temperature sensor. In an embodiment of the dispersing device according to the invention not shown in the figures, this sensor 18 is designed as a pH value sensor and / or as a pressure sensor. The use of additional sensors with different functionality is not excluded. In addition, it is conceivable to equip a dispersing tool 5 with a plurality of, preferably different sensors 18.

Der Sensor 18 ist zur Übertragung von Messdaten über eine Sensorverbindung 19, die bei dem in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel leitungs- bzw. kabelgestützt ist, mit dem Transponder 10 verbunden. Der in den Figuren 6 bis 10 dargestellten Transponder 10 weist zudem eine Auswerteelektronik 20 zur Verarbeitung von dem Sensor 18 empfangener Messdaten auf. Ferner ist der Transponder 10 mit der Auswerteelektronik 20 auch zum drahtlosen Übertragen von Messdaten an die Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 der Antriebseinheit 3 eingerichtet.The sensor 18 is connected to the transponder 10 for transmitting measured data via a sensor connection 19, which is wired or cable-supported in the embodiment shown in the figures. The in the FIGS. 6 to 10 Transponder 10 shown also has an evaluation 20 for processing of the sensor 18 received measurement data. Furthermore, the transponder 10 with the evaluation electronics 20 is also set up for the wireless transmission of measurement data to the transmitter-receiver unit 11 of the drive unit 3.

Die Figuren 6 bis 10 zeigen außerdem, dass die Sensorverbindung 19, der Transponder 10 und der Sensor 18 flüssigkeitsdicht und spülmaschinenfest ausgebildet und abgedichtet sind.The FIGS. 6 to 10 also show that the sensor connection 19, the transponder 10 and the sensor 18 are formed liquid-tight and dishwasher-safe and sealed.

Die Sensorverbindung 19 ist in einer in das Schaftrohr 4 eingebrachten Nut 21 angeordnet, im vorliegenden Fall in der Nut 21 verschweißt beziehungsweise verlötet. Um die kabelgestützte Sensorverbindung 19 vor äußeren Einflüssen schützen zu können, weist die Sensorverbindung 19 ein in einem Sensorrohr 22 verlaufendes Sensorkabel 23 auf, wobei das Sensörrohr 22 in Gebrauchsstellung in der Nut 21 in dem Schaftrohr 4 angeordnet, hier verschweißt beziehungsweise verlötet ist. Das Schaftrohr 4 und die in Gebrauchsstellung in der Nut 21 angeordnete Sensorverbindung 19, hier also das Sensorrohr 22 mit dem darin verlaufenden Sensorkabel 23 der Sensorverbindung 19, sind derart überschliffen, dass das Sensorrohr 4 entlang der Sensorverbindung 19 eine außenseitig geschlossene, glatte und: runde Außenkontur ohne Vorsprünge oder einen Versatz aufweist.
Während die Sensorverbindung 19 durch das im Sensorrohr 22 verlaufende Sensorkabel 23 vor möglicherweise schädlichen Einflüssen des zu dispergierenden Mediums geschützt an dem Dispergierwerkzeug 5 angeordnet ist, ist der Sensor 18 des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 in einer offenen Vertiefung 24 an dem Schaftrohr 4 angeordnet. So kann der Sensor 18 des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 in Berührung mit dem zu dispergierenden Medium gelangen, um einen entsprechenden Parameter des Mediums, in der Regel seine Temperatur, zuverlässig und möglichst genau bestimmen zu können. Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass der Sensor 18 so in der Vertiefung 24 angeordnet ist, dass er nicht über den Außendurchmesser des Schaftrohrs 4 vorsteht. So kann vermieden werden, dass der Sensor 18 bei einer Reinigung des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 oder bei einem Einführen des Dispergierwerkzeugs 5 in eine Durchführung beispielsweise eines Laborreaktorgefäßes oder dergleichen, stört.The sensor connection 19 is in a in the shaft tube 4th introduced groove 21 arranged in the present case in the groove 21 welded or soldered. In order to protect the cable-supported sensor connection 19 from external influences, the sensor connection 19 has a sensor cable 23 extending in a sensor cable 23, the sensor tube 22 is arranged in the position of use in the groove 21 in the shaft tube 4, here welded or soldered. The shaft tube 4 and arranged in the use position in the groove 21 sensor connection 19, here the sensor tube 22 with the sensor cable 23 extending therein sensor connection 19, are ground so that the sensor tube 4 along the sensor connection 19 an outside closed, smooth and: round Having outer contour without protrusions or an offset.
While the sensor connection 19 is protected by the sensor cable 23 running in the sensor tube 22 from potentially harmful influences of the medium to be dispersed on the dispersing tool 5, the sensor 18 of the dispersing tool 5 is arranged in an open recess 24 on the shaft tube 4. Thus, the sensor 18 of the dispersing tool 5 can come into contact with the medium to be dispersed in order to be able to determine a corresponding parameter of the medium, as a rule its temperature, reliably and as accurately as possible. It should be noted that the sensor 18 is arranged in the recess 24 so that it does not project beyond the outer diameter of the shaft tube 4. Thus, it can be avoided that the sensor 18 interferes with a cleaning of the dispersing tool 5 or with an introduction of the dispersing tool 5 into a passage, for example, a laboratory reactor vessel or the like.

Die Antriebseinheit 3 der Dispergiervorrichtung 1 weist eine mit dem Antrieb 2 und der Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 verbundenes Steuer- und/oder Regeleinheit 25 auf. Mit der Steuer- und/oder Regeleinheit 25 kann der Antrieb 2 in Abhängigkeit von der Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 an die Steuer- und/oder Regeleinheit 25 übertragenen Daten steuerbar und/oder regelbar sein beziehungsweise gesteuert oder geregelt werden. Dazu können unter anderem die an die Sender-Empfängereinheit 11 übertragenen Messwerte des Sensors 18 verwendet werden.The drive unit 3 of the dispersing device 1 has a connected to the drive 2 and the transmitter-receiver unit 11 Control and / or regulating unit 25. With the control and / or regulating unit 25, the drive 2 can be controllable and / or regulated or controlled or regulated in dependence on the data transmitted to the control and / or regulating unit 25 by the transmitter / receiver unit 11. For this purpose, among other things, the measured values of the sensor 18 transmitted to the transmitter-receiver unit 11 can be used.
