Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem of a conventional mixer having a rotary vessel that since rotation and rocking of the vessel are held and transmitted by a roller, strength of the vessel and finishing of a contact face are required, therefore, an exclusive vessel is used, and attachment and detachment are not easy. <P>SOLUTION: In the mixer having the rotary vessel, the vessel is fixed to a rotary and rocking vessel holder. This mechanism allows to use an inexpensive commercial plastic drum, a stainless drum or a steel drum as a mixing vessel, facilitating detaching. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a mixer having a rotating container.

  As a conventional mixing method in which a container is swung while rotating, a friction roller is provided on a wobbling base plate (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Hereinafter, a conventional mixer will be described with reference to FIG.
In the figure, a friction wheel 24 connected to a motor 23 is provided on a base plate 22 attached to left and right support shafts 21 to rotate a stirring vessel 25.

Further, a crank mechanism 27 connected to a motor 26 is provided at the rear end of the base plate to swing the base plate.
Patent No. 1112091

  In the mixer having the conventional rotating container described above, the rotation and swinging of the container are held and transmitted by a roller. For this reason, it is necessary for the container to withstand the local alternating load applied to the contact portion of the roller, and in order to obtain smooth rotation, machining that makes the contact portion of the roller circular and smooth is required. In addition, a mechanism for preventing the container from falling off when tilting is added. Therefore, the container weight is heavy and the cost is high, and it is not easy to attach and detach the container from the gantry. Generally, the container is left on the work, and it is difficult to replace the raw material and clean the container.

  The present invention is intended to solve the problems of such a conventional structure, and has a rotating container that uses an inexpensive commercially available container, is easy to attach and detach, and facilitates container cleaning. The purpose is to realize a mixer.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention attaches an arm to the lifting carriage, provides a shaft connected to the power for swinging the container holder at one end, and provides a holding bearing at the other end. The shaft is coupled to the table drive unit, and the turntable assembled with the container holder is rotated by the power of the table drive unit.

The operation of the above solution is as follows. That is, when the container is attached or detached, the table drive unit can be rotated to the vertical position, and the container holder can be opened and closed by opening and closing the catch of the container holder. The mixing container attached by rotating the turntable while swinging about 30 ° swings and rotates to mix the raw materials in the mixing container.

  As described above, the mixer having the rotating container of the present invention has a method of rotating while holding the container by the container holder of the turntable, so there is no friction roller, the strength of the container by using the friction roller, the machine Processing is not necessary, and therefore, a commercially available container that is much less expensive can be used.

  In addition, since the container can be easily attached and detached, the efficiency of the operation can be improved regardless of the place where the raw material is put in and out of the container and the washing.

  In addition, the production flow can be optimized by preparing a plurality of containers.

  In addition, the material can be discharged smoothly by removing the lid and lowering the mouth of the container while rotating it, facilitating weighing and subdivision.

  For fine powders, materials that require high mixing properties, or raw materials that generate lumps, a chopper mechanism is provided on the lid of the container to prevent lumps and achieve high mixing performance.

  If a commercially available container lifter is used, the container can be attached and detached easily.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a mixing container. A swinging shaft 6 connected to a swinging drive source 5 at one end of an arm 4 attached to an elevating carriage 3 incorporated in a gantry 2 and a holding shaft 7 on the opposite side. Both are connected to the table drive unit 8, and the table drive unit is provided with a rotational power source 9. The turntable 10 is rotated, and is fixed by a container holder 11 and a catch 12 attached to the turntable.
