Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mixing device, in particular a hygiene mixing device for the production of food products and pharmaceuticals.
  • the mixing device has a mixing container for receiving material to be mixed and a mixer lid which can close a mixer opening of the mixing container, the mixing container being rotatably mounted relative to the mixer lid in the closed position.
  • Such mixing devices also mostly have a rotatable mixing tool in the interior of the mixing container.
  • a mixing device generally to mix the material to be mixed in a mixing container as well as possible. Often, however, there are certain points within the mixing container at which mixed material collects and possibly sticks during mixing. Such points, which are usually not directly overflowed by the material to be mixed, are often located on edge surfaces, seals and in particular on the mixer lid which is stationary relative to the mixing container. The mix that has accumulated at these points consequently no longer takes part in the mixing process.
  • the mixing container often rotates around an axis of rotation during operation.
  • different angles of inclination of the rotating mixing container can enable particularly efficient processing.
  • An angle of inclination is understood to mean the angle which the axis of rotation of the rotating mixing container encloses with the vertical.
  • an angle of inclination of approx. 20 ° to 30 ° is usually used for the granulation. Due to the inclination of the mixing container, the material to be mixed is exposed to an additional downhill force, This leads to an additional rolling movement of the material to be mixed, which creates particularly spherical granules.
  • inclines of approx. 10 ° to 15 ° have again proven to be particularly advantageous in order to achieve efficient and complete mixing and particularly rapid and complete emptying.
  • a mixing tool that does not rotate with the mixing container is usually also arranged inside the mixing container.
  • the mixing tool preferably rotates about its own axis of rotation, which is mostly arranged at a certain distance from the axis of rotation of the mixing container, parallel to the latter.
  • Such a mixing tool is often designed as a mixing shaft.
  • the mixing container In areas with high hygiene requirements, such as in the production of foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals, the mixing container must also be completely and tightly closable. Mixing devices therefore usually have a mixer lid in such fields of application [OH1], which can close and seal the mixing container. In order to be able to attach a mixing tool, which should not rotate with the mixing container, to the mixer lid, the mixer lid must therefore also be designed so that it does not rotate with the mixing container during operation.
  • Known mixing devices usually have a fixed, predetermined angle of inclination which, if at all, can only be varied with great difficulty and by structural changes to the device.
  • the angle of inclination of the mixing container is usually unchangeable after the mixing device has been installed for the first time and, above all, cannot be changed during operation or for cleaning purposes.
  • the WO 2016/206625 A1 discloses a mixing device according to the preamble of claim 1 and shows a saucepan which is rotatable about an axis and has a lid.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a mixing device whose angle of inclination can be set particularly easily by the user and which can be cleaned and inspected particularly easily by the user.
  • the mixing device has a mixing container rotatable about a first axis of rotation for receiving mixed material.
  • This mixing container has a mixer opening, a mixer lid being provided which can be moved back and forth between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position the mixer cover closes the mixer opening and in the open position the mixer cover releases the mixer opening.
  • the mixing device has a machine stand in which the mixing container is rotatably or pivotably mounted. The mixer lid is attached to the machine stand in such a way that it does not have to rotate with the mixing container when the mixing container is rotated during operation in the closed position.
  • the machine stand has a stationary element and a swivel element.
  • the pivot element is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis relative to the stationary element and the mixing container is mounted rotatably on the pivot element, the mixer cover being fastened to the pivot element.
  • a sliding seal is preferably arranged between the mixer lid and the mixing container - in a closed position of the mixer lid - so that the mixer lid can close the mixing container tightly in spite of the relative rotational movement of the mixing container.
  • the user can set a desired angle of inclination by pivoting the pivot element about the pivot axis.
  • the user can increase the accessibility to areas of the mixing device that are normally inaccessible or difficult to access, which simplifies the cleaning and inspection of the mixing device.
  • the pivot axis runs through the mixing container.
  • a mixing container is generally a container with a cylindrical outer wall, an essentially circular container base and a circular mixing container opening opposite the container base.
  • the pivot axis preferably runs through the third of the mixing container which - in relation to the extension of the mixing container along the axis of rotation - is closest to the mixer opening.
  • the swivel element can be swiveled with respect to the swivel axis by at least up to 90 °, preferably at least by up to 180 ° and particularly preferably by up to 360 °.
  • the swivel range of 90 ° generally makes it possible, on the one hand, to set the inclination angles common for mixing operation and, on the other hand, to swivel the mixing container in such a way that cleaning and inspection of the interior of the container is simplified.
  • the mixing container can be pivoted from a vertical to a horizontal position - that is to say by 90 ° - cleaning and inspection of the interior is particularly easy in the horizontal position.
  • the accessibility of the swivel element increases. If, in this case, the mixing container can be pivoted from a substantially vertical position into an opposite vertical position, then on the other hand the mixer opening can be used for emptying the mixing container using gravity.
  • a swivel range of 360 ° offers all of the aforementioned advantages and enables comprehensive accessibility of the swivel element and thus all assemblies of the mixing device regardless of the location and positioning of the mixing device, which is extremely advantageous, for example, for cleaning and maintenance work.
  • first axis of rotation and the pivot axis are arranged perpendicular to one another, wherein they preferably intersect at one point.
  • This measure also leads to a compact design and to a reduction in the necessary swivel space.
  • the mixer opening is circular and the mixing container is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the first axis of rotation, specifically preferably at least partially cylindrical and / or conical.
  • Preferred embodiments have, in particular, cylindrical mixing containers with a flat bottom or conical, cylindrical or cylindrical-conical mixing containers with flat or convex or concave bottoms, for example dished bottoms.
  • the rotationally symmetrical design of the mixing container means that it can be rotated very easily.
  • the circular design of the mixer opening also facilitates the storage and sealing of the mixer cover with respect to the mixing container, because the mixer cover does not rotate with the mixing container when the mixer cover is in a closed position.
  • the mixing container has a flange.
  • This flange has a surface facing the mixer opening and a surface facing away from the mixer opening and is usually located on the outer wall of the mixing container.
  • the flange particularly preferably completely encloses the outer wall of the mixing container.
  • a pivot bearing is provided, which preferably connects the surface of the flange, which points in a direction facing away from the mixer opening, to the pivot element.
  • the mixing container is rotatably mounted about the first axis of rotation via this pivot bearing.
  • the pivot bearing can be designed as a ball bearing, for example.
  • this mounting can in principle be attached to any position of the mixing container with respect to the axis of rotation.
  • a flange has been shown to be particularly advantageous which, with respect to the axis of rotation, is attached in the third of the mixing container that is closest to the mixer opening.
  • the rotary bearing via a flange also has the advantage that there is no need for a rotary bearing on the bottom of the mixing container, as is often found in other mixing devices.
  • the bottom of the mixing container is therefore in principle freely accessible from below and can, for example, be provided with a double jacket for cooling the mixing container or mixed material with concentric liquid supply and discharge via the first axis of rotation or with an emptying opening.
  • the emptying opening is preferably smaller than the mixer opening.
  • the attachment of the pivot bearing to the surface of the flange facing away from the mixer opening also effects a first shielding of the pivot bearing from the mixer opening. This prevents lubricant, for example grease or oil, which is used to lubricate the pivot bearing and / or the associated drive, from reaching the mixer opening during operation.
  • the pivot bearing can also be attached to the other surfaces of a flange, in particular also to the surface facing the mixing container opening. This can be advantageous, for example, if attachment to the surface facing away from the mixer opening is not possible due to a lack of space due to the design.
  • the rotary bearing is surrounded by a housing (oil-tight or lubricant-tight housing) which is tight against the outlet of lubricant.
  • the housing can have seals at the interfaces to the swivel element or to the mixing container, which seal the pivot bearing from the outside space.
  • the housing can, for example, also be formed by corresponding designs of the flange and the pivot element and by seals arranged between the individual elements.
  • the mixer cover has a mixing element (mixing tool), preferably a mixer shaft, which is mounted rotatably relative to the mixer cover with respect to a second axis of rotation.
  • This mixing element is designed and arranged on the mixer lid in such a way that it is located inside the mixing container when the mixer lid is in a closed position, the second axis of rotation preferably being parallel and particularly preferably parallel but not identical to the first axis of rotation.
  • the speed of rotation of the mixing element can be selected independently of the speed of rotation of the mixing container.
  • a stripping element or a stripping device can also be arranged on the mixer lid in such a way that it is located within the mixing container when the mixer lid is in a closed position.
  • the longitudinal direction of the stripping element preferably extends parallel to the inner wall of the mixing container.
  • the stripping element (and also the mixing element) has lamellae made of an elastic material, which are in contact with the inside of the mixing container (including the inner wall and bottom) when the mixer lid is in a closed position.
  • the stripping element is movable relative to the mixing container, the stripping element preferably being rigidly connected to the non-rotating mixer lid and the mixing container moving relative to the stripping element during operation due to the rotation of the mixing container.
  • a mixing and / or stripping element of the type described brings about a more thorough mixing of the material to be mixed. Since the mixing and stripping element is attached to the mixer lid, it does not rotate with the mixing container even during operation. The mix in the mixing container is therefore moved relative to the mixing container by the rotation of the mixing container. and stripping element offset. This alone already causes a thorough mixing. If the mixing element is now set in rotation with respect to the second axis of rotation, a second superimposed mixing movement is added, which significantly improves the efficiency of the mixing device.
  • the mixing and stripping element Due to the attachment of the mixing and stripping element to the mixer lid, the mixing and stripping element is given away with a pivoting movement.
  • the lamellae described above sweep over parts of the inside of the mixing container and thereby additionally ensure that no residues of the mixed material form on the inside of the mixing container. It is particularly preferred that the stripping element sweeps over the entire height of the inner wall and at least the radially outer part of the mixing container base.
  • the rotation of the mixing element is usually generated by a drive that is also arranged on the mixer lid.
  • the drive is located on the side of the mixer cover facing away from the mixer opening and drives a mixer shaft which, when the mixer cover is in a closed position, protrudes through the mixer cover into the mixing container.
  • the pivot element has a holding frame with a rotary bearing for mounting the mixing container and at least one, preferably two, shaft sections connected to the holding frame on opposite sides of the holding frame.
  • the holding frame is designed in such a way that it at least partially surrounds the mixing container.
  • the stationary element also has one or two pivot bearings in which the shaft section or the shaft sections of the holding frame is or are each pivotably mounted. Alternatively, the pivot bearings can also be arranged on the holding frame and the shaft sections on the stationary element.
  • the pivot element is designed to be particularly simple and material-saving.
  • the holding frame can in particular also be constructed as an annular element so that it can be connected to a circular flange located on the mixing container via a pivot bearing.
  • the mixing device is provided with a hydraulic or pneumatic device which is connected both to the stationary element and to the pivoting element.
  • the hydraulic or pneumatic device for example a hydraulic piston drive, is provided to drive the pivoting element to pivot about the pivot axis. With it either a desired angle of inclination can be set or a continuous pivoting movement, for example a pendulum movement, can be driven.
  • a hydraulic or pneumatic drive for controlling the pivoting movement has proven to be advantageous. It represents a stable and inexpensive way of driving the pivoting movement.
  • the pivoting element can also be fixed simply and stably with a hydraulic or pneumatic device with a desired deflection - that is, with a desired angle of inclination of the mixing container.
  • a hydraulic or pneumatic device with a desired deflection - that is, with a desired angle of inclination of the mixing container.
  • one or more geared motors or other known drive systems for generating a rotary or pivoting movement can also be used to execute the pivoting movement.
  • the mixer lid is hinged opposite the mixer opening, with a drive, e.g. a geared motor, and particularly preferably a hydraulic or pneumatic device being arranged on the pivot element, which is provided for moving the mixer lid between the closed and open positions and move forward.
  • a drive e.g. a geared motor, and particularly preferably a hydraulic or pneumatic device being arranged on the pivot element, which is provided for moving the mixer lid between the closed and open positions and move forward.
  • a hinged mixer lid is extremely advantageous for the user, since a single movement is often sufficient to fit the lid onto the mixing container and to close the mixer opening. A complex adjustment of the mixer lid when closing the mixing container is therefore not necessary. If the hinged locking mechanism is also equipped with a drive, a push of a button is usually sufficient to open and close the mixer lid. Other solutions, such as a mixer lid attached to a gripping arm, are also conceivable, but would result in higher positioning, control and cost expenditure with regard to the closing. In addition, the cover would have to be locked using a force-fit and form-fit connection, e.g. by means of a screw.
  • the drive for folding the lid can also be used for continuous safe locking of the mixer lid in the closed state while the mixer is in operation, e.g. by maintaining the pressure or voltage continuously .
  • the mixing container has a closable emptying opening which is arranged and designed in such a way that the first axis of rotation runs through the emptying opening, particularly preferably runs centrally.
  • an emptying lid is provided which can be moved back and forth between an open position and a closed position, the emptying lid closing the emptying opening in the closed position and releasing the emptying opening in the open position.
  • Such an emptying opening has the advantage that the mixing container does not have to be pivoted for emptying in order to empty it via the mixer opening.
  • the emptying opening can be arranged, for example, above a conveyor belt, so that the ready-mixed material can be discharged immediately via the emptying opening and transported further on the conveyor belt.
  • the mixing device has a drive which is attached to the pivot element and is provided for moving the emptying cover back and forth between the closed and open position.
  • the emptying lid is arranged on the mixing container in such a way that the emptying lid can be rotated together with the mixing container relative to the pivoting element about the first axis of rotation.
  • the emptying cover is preferably designed as a segmented ball valve.
  • the arrangement of the drive on the swivel element is also particularly advantageous because the drive is subject to a swivel movement of the swivel element, but not to the rotary movement of the mixing container. This makes assembly and energy supply, in particular the cabling of the drive, significantly easier.
  • the emptying cover can be designed as a segmented ball valve and the drive as a linear drive, e.g. as a hydraulic or pneumatic piston drive.
  • the linear movement of the piston is then converted into a rotary movement of a spherical segment, which is designed as a spherical segment of the spherical segment valve, via a cam disk that rotates with the mixing container, so that the rotation of the spherical segment in one direction causes the emptying opening to close and in the other direction to open .

  • the mixing device 1 is shown with the mixer cover 6 in an open position.
  • the mixing container 2 is inclined by an angle of inclination of approximately 20 °, since the pivot element is pivoted by approximately 20 ° in the direction facing the viewer. It can be seen from this illustration that the angle of inclination can be adjusted easily and to any desired extent by pivoting about the pivot axis.
  • the hinged mixer lid 6 is in Figure 3 opened in such a way that the mixer shaft 3 is arranged outside the mixing container 1 and the mixer opening 4 is completely visible. Due to the hinged mounting of the mixer cover 6 via the hinge 21, the mixer cover 6 can easily be opened and closed. This mechanism is in Figure 3 particularly easy to recognize.
  • the stripping device 22 can be seen, which is also attached to the mixer lid 6. Like the mixer shaft 3, it does not rotate with the mixing container 2 when it rotates and protrudes into the mixing container 2 when the mixer lid 6 is in a closed position.
  • the stripping device 22 has, for example, a rail made of an elastic material, which is in contact with the lateral inner wall of the mixing container 2 when the mixer lid 6 is in a closed position.
  • the drive 24 for the pivoting movement of the pivoting element is visible in the machine stand 16 on the side facing the viewer.
  • the accessibility of the drive with regard to maintenance work is given by the doors 23 (partially hidden) of the machine stand 16.
