Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for crushing or crushing an object into powder.

  There are several methods for pulverizing an object. Especially in the case of food, a ball mill pulverizer (for example, Patent Document 1) or a pulverizer using two upper and lower disks such as a stone mortar (for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3). And air crushers and roll crushers, and a crusher (for example, Patent Document 4) combining an air flow type and a disk.

  The present invention relates to a pulverizer using a disk as described above, and the pulverizer using a disk includes an old-fashioned stone mill and a pulverizer using a recent mechanical disk. Many old-fashioned millstones are pulverized by manually or automatically rotating the upper millstone at a low speed, and most recent mechanical disk mills grind by rotating the lower disk.

  Recent pulverizers using mechanical discs rotate faster in order to increase the efficiency of pulverization. However, the faster the rotation, the higher the temperature of the disc and the object to be pulverized, and the higher the possibility of deterioration. Therefore, many pulverizers using a mechanical disk have a disk cooling mechanism.

  In the conventional technique (for example, Patent Document 3), the convex portions between the concave portions of the crushing portions of the upper and lower disks are such that the end of the cross section of each concave portion is the starting end of the next concave portion, It has a sharp shape. For this reason, when the object to be crushed moves from one concave part to the next concave part, the object to be pulverized is cut and made fine by the sharp shape of the convex part. For this reason, there are sharp corners in the shape of the object to be crushed, and it is difficult to form smooth particles. When the material to be crushed is food, the throat is not good because of this corner.

  In addition, blade spilling easily occurs at the tip of the convex portion of the disk, and the shape of the crushed portion of the disk changes. If pulverization is continued in the changed shape of the crushed portion, the particle size varies. Repairing and exchanging the disk to make the grain size uniform is expensive and difficult.

  In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a pulverizer capable of obtaining a pulverized object having smooth particles without having any shape in the pulverized object.

  The first means of the present invention comprises a fixed upper disk, a rotating lower disk, and a driving means for rotating the lower disk, and a plurality of continuous uneven crushes on each of the upper and lower disks. And a convex part between one concave part and the next concave part of the crushed part is made horizontal. According to a second means of the present invention, in the first means, a convex portion having a horizontal plane of 0.5 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less is provided between one concave portion and the next concave portion.

  With the pulverizer of the present invention, the object to be crushed is pressed in a horizontal plane and becomes fine as if it was crushed.Therefore, the object to be crushed becomes smooth and smooth particles, and further uniform particles can be obtained. it can. In addition, because the upper and lower disks are crushed on a horizontal surface, they are more durable and last longer than conventional disks.

The crushing parts 3 and 4 will be in the state almost the same as horizontal. Therefore, the horizontal convex part is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the conventional disks 31 and 32 have a structure in which the convex portions are not horizontal and the concave portions 33a and 34a are continuous.

  If the disks 1 and 2 and the object to be crushed have heat, the quality of the object to be crushed will be altered, so that a cooling medium such as water will flow inside the disks 1 and 2 and the disks 1 and 2 and the object to be crushed will be Although a cooling device for cooling is attached, drawings and detailed description are omitted.

  The operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be described. First, as a preparation, the lower disk 2 is fitted to the drive shaft 9. Then, the upper disk 1 is inserted into the opening 10 a of the locking plate 10, the spherical washer 21 of the locking plate 10 and the spherical washer 22 of the disk 1 are aligned, and fixed by the leaf spring 23 and the U nut 24. The locking plate 10 is rotated by the rotation shaft 20, the upper disk 1 is placed on the lower disk 2, the handle 18 is inserted into the handle shaft 25, and the locking plate 10 is fixed.

  Next, the motor 8 is started and the lower disk 2 is rotated (when the cooling device is attached, the cooling device is also started). Then, the material to be crushed is input from the input port 11. In order to put the material to be crushed into the charging port 11, it is charged by hand, or a charging device (not shown) is installed and charged by the charging device. It is preferable that the feeding device can supply a fixed amount. The object to be crushed is crushed by the blades 5 and 6 between the upper and lower disks 1 and 2 and moves downward (the gap is narrower) when it becomes smaller than the gap between the disks 1 and 2. The object to be crushed by the blades 5 and 6 moves to the crushing parts 3 and 4 and is further finely crushed, and the centrifugal force and the shape of the crushing parts 3 and 4 (recesses and protrusions are from the inside to the outside). ) To the periphery of the disks 1 and 2, and falls to the casing 12 through the gap between the disks 1 and 2. The fallen object to be crushed is guided to the take-out port 13 by the sweeper 19 that rotates together with the lower disk 2 and taken out to the container 15 by the take-out chute 14.

  As described above, when the spherical washers 21 and 22 are attached and operated, even if the crushing part 4 of the lower disk 2 is in a state of scoring, the lower part of the crushing part 3 of the upper disk 1 When pressing the crushing part 4 of the disc 2, the upper disc 1 also strikes the spherical washers 21 and 22 in accordance with the lower disc 2, and the lower disc 2 rotates while the crushing parts 3 and 4 are in close contact with each other. To do. For this reason, the upper and lower crushing parts 3, 4 are parallel, and a uniform and fine object to be crushed comes out to the outlet 13.
