The opposing body 20 is connected to the distal end portions of two rod-shaped fixing members 60 disposed substantially parallel to the drive shaft 50 on the outside of the rotating body 10, and the base end portions of these two fixing members 60 are driven. It is fixed to a bracket 62 fixed to the casing of the device 40. That is, in this embodiment, the rotating body 10 is driven by the driving device 40 and rotates, but the opposing body 20 is fixed so as not to rotate.

  2A is a plan view showing the rotator 10, FIG. 2B is a front view showing the rotator 10, and the same side view, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view showing the body 10. FIG. As shown in these drawings, the rotating body 10 has a substantially bullet shape, specifically, a shape in which the upper surface 10a of the cylinder is formed into a spherical shape, in other words, a shape in which a cylinder and a hemisphere are combined. The material which comprises the rotary body 10 is not specifically limited, For example, an appropriate material according to use conditions, such as a metal, ceramics, resin, rubber | gum, wood, etc., is employable.

  A connecting portion 11 to which the drive shaft 50 is connected is provided at the center of the spherical upper surface 10a of the rotating body 10. Therefore, the rotator 10 is configured to be driven by the drive device 40 and rotate about the central axis C as a rotation axis.

The bottom surface 10 b of the rotating body 10 is formed in a substantially circular planar shape that is substantially orthogonal to the central axis C, and constitutes a first facing surface 18 that faces the facing body 20. In the middle of the flow path 16, an opening 19 that opens in the first facing surface 18 is formed.

  The suction port 12 is provided around the connection portion 11 on the upper surface 10a (that is, on the drive shaft 50 side of the rotating body 10). In the present embodiment, four circular suction ports 12 are arranged at equal intervals on a circumference around the central axis C, and the suction ports 12 are formed in the same direction as the central axis C. The discharge port 14 has a substantially bullet shape, and is provided on the side surface 10 c of the rotating body 10 so as to be in contact with the periphery of the first facing surface 18. In the present embodiment, the four discharge ports 14 are positioned on the outer side in the radial direction (centrifugal direction) of the rotating body 10 with respect to the respective suction ports 12 (positions separated from the central axis C in the direction perpendicular to the central axis C). Respectively. Further, the discharge port 14 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the central axis C.

  The flow passage 16 is formed as a passage connecting one suction port 12 and one discharge port 14. Therefore, four flow passages 16 are formed inside the rotating body 10. Each flow passage 16 straightly travels along the central axis C direction from the suction port 12, then bends at a right angle, travels straight in parallel with the first facing surface 18 toward the centrifugal direction of the rotating body 10, and reaches the discharge port 14. It is formed to do. That is, the flow passage 16 of the present embodiment includes an axial portion 16a formed in the central axis C direction and a centrifugal direction portion 16b formed in the centrifugal direction.

  The opening 19 is provided in the centrifugal direction portion 16 b of the flow passage 16. In the present embodiment, the opening 19 is provided over substantially the entire range of the centrifugal direction portion 16 b of the flow passage 16. Therefore, the centrifugal direction portion 16 b of the flow passage 16 is configured in a groove shape having a substantially bullet-shaped cross section that is opened in the first facing surface 18. That is, the flow passage 16 of the present embodiment includes a tunnel-shaped axial portion 16a formed inside the rotating body 10 from the suction port 12 to the first facing surface 18, and a first portion extending from the axial portion 16a to the discharge port 14. The groove-shaped centrifugal direction portion 16b is formed on one opposing surface 18, and the open portion of the groove-shaped centrifugal direction portion 16b is an opening portion 19. As a result, the discharge port 14 also has a cross-sectional shape with the first facing surface 18 side open.

  The shapes of the suction port 12 and the discharge port 14 are not particularly limited, and may be other shapes such as an elliptical shape and a polygonal shape. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the flow passage 16 is not particularly limited, and can be configured in an appropriate shape according to the shape and position of the suction port 12 and the discharge port 14 or the processing method. Further, in the present embodiment, the flow passage 16 is configured in an L shape that is bent at a substantially right angle for ease of processing, but the flow passage 16 may be configured as a smoothly curved curved passage. . In the present embodiment, the strength of the rotating body 10 is increased by solidly configuring the portion other than the flow passage 16 of the rotating body 10, but the portion other than the flow passage 16 of the rotating body 10 is hollow. You may make it comprise in a shape.

  3A is a plan view showing the opposing body 20, FIG. 3B is a front view showing the opposing body 20, and FIG. 3C shows the arrangement of the opposing body 20. FIG. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the opposing body 20 is configured in a substantially disc shape centered on the central axis C, and one surface is the first opposing surface 18 of the rotating body 10. It becomes the 2nd opposing surface 22 which opposes. The second facing surface 22 is a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the central axis C, and is configured in a circular shape that is larger than the first facing surface 18 of the rotating body 10. Connection portions 24 to which the two fixing members 60 are connected are formed at two locations in the vicinity of the periphery of the second facing surface 22 that is the outside of the rotating body 10.

  A heating / cooling device 30 is disposed inside the opposing body 20. The heating / cooling device 30 supplies heat (i.e., heating) to the periphery of the opposing body 20 mainly through the second opposing surface 22 or absorbs (i.e., cools) heat around the opposing body 20. It is. The heating / cooling device 30 of the present embodiment includes a heat medium flow passage 32 that is meanderingly disposed along the second facing surface 22 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (c). The heat medium flow passage 32 is configured and connected to an external heat medium circulation device (not shown) via a supply / discharge passage 34 inside the fixed member 60. That is, the heating / cooling device 30 heats the periphery of the opposing body 20 by circulating, for example, hot water through the heat medium flow passage 32, and circulates, for example, cold water through the heat medium flow passage 32, It is configured to cool.

  The heating / cooling device 30 may be configured to perform only heating or only cooling. Moreover, the structure of the heating / cooling apparatus 30 is not specifically limited, For example, various known structures, such as a thing provided with a Peltier element and a heating wire, are employable. In addition, the heating / cooling device 30 may be configured to perform heating or cooling only through the second facing surface 22, or together with the second facing surface 22, the second facing surface 22. It may be configured to perform heating or cooling via other surfaces (for example, a non-facing surface 26 opposite to the second facing surface 22). Further, the heating / cooling device 30 may be provided so as to be exposed to the outside of the opposing body 20.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (c), the opposing body 20 is a rotating body in a state where a predetermined gap G is provided between the first opposing surface 18 of the rotating body 10 and its second opposing surface 22. 10 is arranged coaxially. Further, the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 are arranged so as to be substantially parallel to each other, and the predetermined gap G is maintained even when the rotating body 10 is rotating, so that the rotating body 10 And the opposing body 20 are not in contact with each other.

  Although details will be described later, a fluid (target fluid) that is an object of temperature adjustment enters the gap G between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22, and the fluid in the gap G And the heating / cooling device 30 are configured to exchange heat via the second facing surface 22. The magnitude | size of the clearance gap G is not specifically limited, It sets suitably based on various conditions, such as properties, such as the viscosity of a fluid, and the presence or absence of a mixture. Although illustration is omitted, in this embodiment, an adjustment mechanism having a known structure that adjusts the position of the opposing body 20 by adjusting the length of the fixing member 60 is provided in the fixing member 60, and the setting of the gap G is performed. Can be easily changed.

  In addition, the material which comprises the opposing body 20 is not specifically limited, Although an appropriate material can be employ | adopted similarly to the rotary body 10, in order to perform heat transfer with circumference | surroundings efficiently, A material having high thermal conductivity is preferable. Further, the rotating body 10 and the opposing body 20 may be made of the same material, or may be made of different materials.

  In the present embodiment, the opposing body 20 is fixed to the driving device 40. For example, the opposing body 20 is fixed to another member such as a container for storing a fluid or a mount on which the driving device 40 is installed. You may make it do. Needless to say, the number of fixing members 60 for fixing the opposing body 20 is not limited to two, and the supply / discharge passage 34 may be provided separately from the fixing member 60.

  Returning to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the drive device 40 is constituted by a motor in this embodiment, and rotates the rotating body 10 via the drive shaft 50 to rotate around the central axis C. Let In the present embodiment, the drive device 40 is configured to directly drive the drive shaft 50, but the drive device 40 rotationally drives the drive shaft 50 via a transmission mechanism such as a gear, a chain, and a sprocket. You may comprise. The drive device 40 may be of any existing type such as an electric motor or an air motor.

  Next, the operation of the rotating body 10 and the counter body 20 in the temperature adjusting device 1 will be described. 4A is a plan view showing the operation of the rotating body 10 and the opposing body 20, and FIG. 4B is a front view showing the operation of the rotating body 10 and the opposing body 20, and FIG. (C) is sectional drawing which expanded and showed the BB sectional view of the figure (a).

  The rotator 10 is driven by the driving device 40 and rotates about the central axis C in the fluid to agitate the fluid. When the rotating body 10 is immersed in the fluid and rotated, the fluid that has entered the flow path 16 also rotates together with the rotating body 10. Then, centrifugal force acts on the fluid in the flow passage 16, and the fluid in the flow passage 16 flows toward the outside in the radial direction of the rotating body 10 as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and (b). Since the discharge port 14 is provided on the radially outer side of the rotator 10 with respect to the suction port 12, a centrifugal force stronger than that of the suction port 12 acts on the discharge port 14. Accordingly, the fluid flows from the suction port 12 toward the discharge port 14 as long as the rotating body 10 is rotating. That is, the fluid in the flow passage 16 is ejected from the discharge port 14, and the external fluid is sucked into the flow passage 16 from the suction port 12. As a result, in the fluid around the rotator 10, a flow spreading radially from the side surface 10 c of the rotator 10 having the discharge port 14 and a flow toward the suction port 12 are generated. The flow toward the suction port 12 becomes a swirl flow by the rotation of the suction port 12.

  Further, when the rotating body 10 is immersed in the fluid and rotated, the fluid near the surface (the upper surface 10a and the side surface 10c) of the rotating body 10 rotates together with the rotating body 10 due to the influence of viscosity. Accordingly, centrifugal force also acts on the fluid near the surface of the rotator 10, and as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the fluid near the upper surface 10a flows to the side surface 10c along the surface, and the discharge port It becomes the accompanying flow of the jet flow from 14.

  In the present embodiment, since the upper surface 10a is formed in a spherical shape, the shape of the rotating body 10 has a shape in which the thickness in the direction of the central axis C gradually decreases outward in the radial direction. It is possible to smoothly join the flow spreading radially from the side surface 10c. Further, by forming the upper surface 10a in such a shape, a part of the flow toward the suction port 12 is smoothly flowed to the side surface 10c along the upper surface 10a, and is merged with the flow spreading radially from the side surface 10c. Is possible. As a result, the rotator 10 can generate a powerful flow in the surrounding fluid and perform efficient stirring.

  On the other hand, since the fluid that has entered between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 receives the shearing force SF by the rotating first facing surface 18 and the stationary second facing surface 22, FIG. As shown in (c), it rotates together with the first facing surface 18 while generating a complicated vortex and the like, and this centrifugal force gradually turns it into a centrifugal direction (radius as shown in FIG. (Towards the outside in the direction). Furthermore, between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22, as the rotating body 10 rotates, as shown in FIG. Inflow of the fluid from the flow path 16 and outflow of the fluid to the flow path 16 at the traveling direction side edge 19b of the opening 19 occur.

  Therefore, between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22, the shearing force SF due to the rotation of the first facing surface 18, and the traveling direction opposite side edge 19 a and the traveling direction side edge of the opening 19. Due to the occurrence of pressure fluctuations (wedge effect or the like) accompanying the inflow / outflow at 19b, the fluid comes into contact with the second facing surface 22 while flowing in a very complicated manner. Thereby, since the heat transfer coefficient between the 2nd opposing surface 22 and a fluid is raised, the movement of the heat between the heating-cooling apparatus 30 and the fluid via the 2nd opposing surface 22 will be accelerated | stimulated. . That is, according to the temperature adjusting device 1, it is possible to efficiently heat or cool the fluid with low energy cost.

  Furthermore, the fluid heated or cooled in this way between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 finally joins the flow radially spreading from the rotating body 10 by the action of centrifugal force, It will be carried away far away from the rotating body 10 and the opposing body 20. That is, according to the temperature adjusting device 1, the heated or cooled fluid can be distributed substantially uniformly over a wide range by the stirring action of the rotating body 10, and the fluid contained in a relatively large container In addition, the entire fluid can be efficiently heated or cooled, and the temperature distribution in the fluid can be made more uniform. Further, as described above, since the heat transfer coefficient between the second facing surface 22 and the fluid is high, it is possible to set a small temperature difference between the target fluid 80 and the heating / cooling device 30 (heat medium). This also makes the temperature distribution in the fluid uniform.

  In the present embodiment, the flow passage 16 is provided with the centrifugal direction portion 16b, and the centrifugal direction portion 16b is provided with the opening 19, so that a part of the inner wall surface of the flow passage 16 in the centrifugal direction portion 16b is the second. The opposed surface 22 is configured. Thereby, heating or cooling via the second opposing surface 22 is also performed on the fluid passing through the centrifugal portion 16b without flowing between the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22. It becomes possible. Since the second facing surface 22 forms an inner wall surface on the opposite side of the suction port 12, the fluid that has entered the flow passage 16 from the suction port 12 collides with the second facing surface 22 from the flow direction. Or it is easy to touch. In other words, in the present embodiment, the heat transfer coefficient is also increased between the fluid passing through the flow passage 16 and the second facing surface 22.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by providing the opening 19 over substantially the entire range of the centrifugal direction portion 16b, the heat transfer area for the fluid passing through the flow passage 16 is increased, and the fluid that has passed through the axial direction portion 16a is the first. The flow direction is changed by colliding with two opposing surfaces 22. Thereby, in the present embodiment, heating or cooling is performed very efficiently even for the fluid that only passes through the flow passage 16.

  FIGS. 5A and 5B are schematic diagrams illustrating an example of use of the temperature adjustment device 1. As shown in these drawings, the temperature adjustment device 1 is used in a state in which the rotating body 10 and the counter body 20 are immersed in a target fluid 80 that is a target of temperature adjustment accommodated in a container 70. . The temperature adjustment device 1 may be fixed to the container 70, a frame (not shown), or the like, or may be provided with an appropriate handle or the like and held and operated by the user. .

  When the rotating body 10 is rotated by the driving device 40, a flow spreading radially from the rotating body 10 and a swirling flow (vortex) toward the suction port 12 of the rotating body 10 are generated as described above. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a complicated circulation flow is generated in the target fluid 80. Then, the target fluid 80 heated or cooled between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 or in the flow passage 16 is conveyed to every corner in the container 70 by this circulating flow, and is substantially uniform. It is diffused to the state. Further, the target fluid 80 heated or cooled via the non-opposing surface 26 or the like of the opposing body 20 is also diffused into the container 70 by this circulating flow. In this way, the target fluid 80 is adjusted to a desired temperature in a short time and at a low cost, that is, extremely efficiently.

  Next, the other form of the temperature control apparatus 1 is demonstrated.

  FIG. 6A is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example in which the opening 19 is partially provided. As shown in the figure, the opening 19 is not provided over the entire range of the centrifugal direction portion 16b of the flow passage 16, but may be provided partially. Although not shown, a plurality of openings 19 may be provided for one flow passage 16, or the flow passage 16 may be branched halfway toward the discharge port 14 and the opening 19. It may be configured.

  Moreover, the shape of the opening part 19 is not specifically limited, It can comprise in various shapes, such as a rectangular shape, a circular shape, or an ellipse shape. Further, the centrifugal direction portion 16b of the flow passage 16 is configured to bend or meander along the first facing surface 18, and the opening 19 may be configured to be bent or meandered accordingly. Good. Further, a mesh plate may be disposed in the opening 19.

  Thus, by appropriately setting the size, arrangement, number, shape, and the like of the opening 19, the flow state between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 can be changed to the properties of the target fluid 80, etc. It becomes possible to adjust according to. Further, the contact state between the target fluid 80 passing through the flow passage 16 and the second facing surface 22 can be adjusted. Thereby, heating-cooling capability can be adjusted suitably.

  FIGS. 6B and 6C are cross-sectional views illustrating an example in which the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 are each configured in a substantially conical shape. The 1st opposing surface 18 and the 2nd opposing surface 22 are not limited to what is respectively comprised by planar shape, In this way, you may be comprised, for example in cone shape. In addition to the conical shape, for example, it may be configured in a truncated cone shape or stepped shape, and further includes an appropriate curved surface such as a partial spherical shape or a parabolic shape. Also good. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, either the first facing surface 18 or the second facing surface 22 may be formed in a convex shape. As described above, by appropriately setting the shapes of the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22, the flow between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 and in the vicinity of the opening 19. The state can be adjusted, and the heating and cooling capacity can be adjusted appropriately.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams illustrating an example in which the size of the gap G between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 is changed. Here, FIG. 6A is a cross section showing an example in which the first facing surface 18 is recessed in a substantially conical shape so that the size of the gap G changes in the centrifugal direction of the central axis C. FIG. 4B is an example in which the first opposing surface 18 is bulged between the openings 19 so as to change in a circumferential direction and a centrifugal direction with respect to the central axis C. It is the shown front view.

  Thus, by changing the size of the gap G, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 7A, when the fluid between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 flows in the centrifugal direction. In the example shown in FIG. 5B, the wedge effect can also be generated by the rotation of the rotating body 10. Thereby, the flow state between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 and in the vicinity of the opening 19 can be adjusted, and the heating and cooling capacity can be adjusted appropriately.

  7A and 7B show examples in which the size of the gap G gradually decreases as the distance from the central axis C in the centrifugal direction is increased. As the distance increases, the size of the gap G may be gradually enlarged, may be enlarged after being reduced, or may be reduced after being enlarged. Furthermore, the reduction ratio or the enlargement ratio may be changed.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the size of the gap G is changed by changing the shape of the first facing surface 18 to a shape other than a plane. The size of the gap G may be changed by changing the shape of the gap G to a shape other than the plane 22, and the size of the gap G with the shapes of both the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 being shapes other than the plane. May be changed.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the area of the second facing surface 22 is configured to be larger than the area of the first facing surface 18 is shown, but the second facing surface 22 is larger than the first facing surface 18. The first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22 may be configured to have the same area. Further, the first facing surface 18 may face a part of the second facing surface 22. Similarly, the second facing surface 22 may face a part of the first facing surface 18.

  FIG. 7C is a cross-sectional view showing an example in which an introduction path 17 for introducing various objects outside the target fluid 80 into the flow path 16 is provided. Thus, by providing the introduction path 17 that connects the outside of the target fluid 80 and the flow passage 16, various gases, liquids, solids, and the like are efficiently introduced into the target fluid 80, and the first facing surface 18 Mixing and stirring can be performed while exchanging heat between the second facing surfaces 22 and in the vicinity of the opening 19. Thereby, it is possible to promote the dissolution of the various introduced objects into the target fluid 80 and the reaction between the various introduced objects and the target fluid 80. In addition, since the heating and cooling device 30 can cancel out temperature changes due to heat generation and heat absorption associated with dissolution and reaction, the temperature of the entire target fluid 80 can be maintained substantially constant while various objects are being charged. It becomes.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7C, an example in which the introduction path 17 is formed in the drive shaft 50 and the rotator 10 is shown, but the rotator 10 is configured to be partially exposed from the target fluid 80. In addition, an introduction port may be provided in the exposed portion of the rotating body 10 and the introduction path 17 may be formed so as to connect the introduction port and the flow passage 16. Further, the introduction path 17 may be directly connected between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 without using the flow passage 16. In introducing various objects, various objects may be sucked using a negative pressure generated in the flow passage 16 or between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22, or a pump or the like. Various objects may be sent by pressure.

  FIGS. 8A to 8D are diagrams showing an example in which the concave and convex shapes 18a and 22a are formed on the first facing surface 18 or the second facing surface 22, and B in FIG. It is sectional drawing which expanded and showed the -B line | wire cross section. Here, FIG. 8A shows an example in which the concave and convex shape 18a including the concave portion 18a1 and the convex portion 18a2 is formed on the first opposing surface 18, and FIG. 8B shows the second opposing surface. An example of the case where the concave / convex shape 22a including the concave portion 22a1 and the convex portion 22a2 is formed on the surface 22 is shown. FIG. 10 (c) shows the concave / convex shape 18a including the concave portion 18a1 and the convex portion 18a2 on the first facing surface 18. In addition, an example is shown in which the concave and convex shape 22a including the concave portion 22a1 and the convex portion 22a2 is formed on the second facing surface 22 as well.

  As described above, by providing the first opposing surface 18 or the second opposing surface 22 with the concavo-convex shapes 18 a and 22 a, between the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22 and in the vicinity of the opening 19. Since more complicated flows and vortices can be generated in a wide range, the heating and cooling capacity can be adjusted appropriately. Furthermore, since the heat transfer area can be increased by providing the concave and convex shape 22a on the second facing surface 22, heating or cooling can be performed more efficiently.

  The shapes of the recesses 18a1 and 22a1 and the projections 18a2 and 22a2 are not particularly limited, and an appropriate shape can be adopted according to the properties of the target fluid 80, usage conditions, and the like. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8D, the recesses 18a1 and 22a1 are each configured to have a semicircular cross-sectional shape, but other than this, the recesses have an arbitrary cross-sectional shape such as a triangular shape. 18a1 and 22a1 can be configured. Needless to say, the convex portions 18a2 and 22a2 can also be configured in an arbitrary cross-sectional shape.

  In addition to the irregular shapes 18a and 22a (or in place of the irregular shapes 18a and 22a), the heating and cooling capacity can be improved by adjusting the surface roughness of the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22. You may make it adjust.

  FIGS. 9A to 9C are diagrams showing examples of the arrangement of the concave portions 18a1 and 22a1 and the convex portions 18a2 and 22a2 in the centrifugal direction. FIG. 9A is an enlarged view taken along the line DD in FIG. It is sectional drawing shown. Here, in FIG. 9A, the recesses 18a1 of the first facing surface 18 and the recesses 22a1 of the second facing surface 22 are formed so that the positions in the centrifugal direction with respect to the central axis C are substantially equal to each other. In addition, an example is shown in which the positions of the convex portion 18a2 of the first opposing surface 18 and the convex portion 22a2 of the second opposing surface 22 in the centrifugal direction with respect to the central axis C are made substantially equal to each other. FIG. 4B shows the position of the concave portion 18a1 of the first opposed surface 18 and the position of the concave portion 22a1 of the second opposed surface 22 in the centrifugal direction shifted from each other, and the convex portion of the first opposed surface 18 An example is shown in which the position in the centrifugal direction with respect to the central axis C of the convex portion 22a2 of 18a2 and the second opposing surface 22 is shifted.

  Thus, by appropriately setting the arrangement of the concave portions 18a1, 22a1 and the convex portions 18a2, 22a2 in the centrifugal direction, the target fluid 80 is moved in the centrifugal direction between the first opposed surface 18 and the second opposed surface 22. Since it is possible to adjust the path when flowing, the heating and cooling capacity can be appropriately adjusted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, the concave portion 18a1 of the first opposing surface 18 and the convex portion 22a2 of the second opposing surface 22 are arranged to face each other, and a part of the convex portion 22a2 is formed. The convex portion 18a2 of the first opposing surface 18 and the concave portion 22a1 of the second opposing surface 22 are disposed so as to face each other, and a part of the convex portion 18a2 is accommodated in the concave portion 18a1. By accommodating in the inside of the recess 22a1, the path when the target fluid 80 flows in the centrifugal direction can be made labyrinth-like.

  In this case, it is possible to generate more complicated flows and vortices in a wide range, and to increase the flow resistance and make it difficult for the target fluid 80 to flow in the centrifugal direction. Thereby, the time during which the target fluid 80 stays between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22, that is, the heating time or cooling time between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 is reduced. Since it can be adjusted, the heating and cooling capacity can be adjusted more finely.

  In the temperature adjustment device 1, the target fluid 80 can be appropriately discharged from between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 through the opening 19 due to the flow in the flow passage 16. Even when the flow resistance in the centrifugal direction between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 is increased, the temperature adjusting ability is not lowered.

  FIG. 9D is a diagram showing an example in the case where the outer peripheral wall 22b is provided on the outer peripheral portions of the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22, and is a line DD in FIG. 4A. It is sectional drawing which expanded and showed the cross section. Thus, the flow in the centrifugal direction between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 can also be adjusted by providing the outer peripheral wall 22b.

  The outer peripheral wall 22b may protrude from the outer peripheral portion of the second opposing surface 22 as shown in FIG. 9D, or protrude from the outer peripheral portion of the first opposing surface 18. It may be provided. In the example shown in FIG. 4D, the example in which the uneven shapes 18a and 22a are not provided is shown, but the uneven shapes 18a and 22a may be provided. Further, the outer peripheral wall 22b may be provided over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral portion of the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22, or may be provided partially. Furthermore, it goes without saying that any height and any shape can be adopted as the height and shape of the outer peripheral wall 22b depending on the properties of the target fluid 80 and the like.

  FIG. 9E is a view showing an example in which a through-hole 28 that connects between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 and the outside is formed in the facing body 20. It is sectional drawing which expanded and showed the DD sectional view of 4 (a). Thus, by forming the through hole 28 in the opposing body 20, the target fluid 80 flows between the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22 through the through hole depending on the position where the through hole 28 is formed. Or the target fluid 80 can be allowed to flow out from between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22. The shape of the through hole 28, the position where the through hole 28 is formed, the direction of the through hole 28, the number of the through holes 28, and the like are not particularly limited, and can be set as appropriate.

  FIGS. 10A to 10C show the case where the traveling direction opposite side edge 19a and the traveling direction side edge 19b of the opening 19 are formed so that the distance gradually increases toward the second facing surface 22 side. It is the figure which showed the example of, and is sectional drawing which expanded and showed the BB line cross section of Fig.4 (a). Here, Fig.10 (a) has shown an example at the time of rounding the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b, The same figure (b) shows the advancing direction reverse side edge part. 19a and an example in the case where the traveling direction side edge portion 19b is chamfered in a planar shape, and FIG. 10C shows an example in which the traveling direction reverse side edge portion 19a and the traveling direction side edge portion 19b are recessed. Is shown.

  In this way, by gradually increasing the distance between the traveling direction opposite side edge 19a and the traveling direction side edge 19b of the opening 19 toward the second facing surface 22 side, the flow in the traveling direction reverse side edge 19a is achieved. Inflow from the path 16 between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 and from the space between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 in the traveling direction side edge 19b to the flow path 16. Inflow can be promoted. Moreover, a flow state can be adjusted by devising suitably the shape of the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b.

  In addition, the shape of the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b is not limited to the example shown to Fig.10 (a)-(c), Arbitrary shapes can be employ | adopted. Moreover, you may make it expand not only both the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b but to enlarge either one. Moreover, you may make it enlarge parts other than the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b among the whole edge parts of the opening part 19. As shown in FIG.

  Further, although not shown, the traveling direction opposite side edge portion 19a and the traveling direction side edge portion 19b of the opening 19 may be formed so that the interval gradually decreases toward the second facing surface 22 side. Also in this case, both the traveling direction opposite side edge portion 19a and the traveling direction side edge portion 19b may be reduced, or only one of them may be reduced, one of them may be reduced, and the other May be enlarged. Moreover, you may make it reduce parts other than the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b among the whole edge parts of the opening part 19. As shown in FIG. Moreover, the shape of the edge part of the opening part 19 including the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b is provided by providing the detachable member in the edge part of the 1st opposing surface 18 or the opening part 19. It may be changed.

  FIG. 10 (d) is a diagram showing an example of the case where protrusions 19c are provided on the traveling direction opposite side edge portion 19a and the traveling direction side edge portion 19b of the opening 19, and FIG. It is sectional drawing which expanded and showed the B line cross section. Thus, by providing the protrusion 19c that protrudes toward the inside of the opening 19, the flow state in the vicinity of the traveling direction reverse side edge 19a and the traveling direction side edge 19b can be further finely adjusted. .

  In addition, the shape of the protrusion part 19c is not specifically limited, Arbitrary shapes can be employ | adopted. Moreover, the front-end | tip part of the protrusion part 19c may be sharpened like the example shown in FIG.10 (d), and may be rounded. Further, the projecting portion 19c may be provided on both the traveling direction opposite side edge portion 19a and the traveling direction side edge portion 19b, or the projecting portion 19c may be provided on only one of them. You may make it make the shape of the protrusion part 19c differ in the direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b. Moreover, you may make it provide the protrusion part 19c in parts other than the advancing direction reverse side edge part 19a and the advancing direction side edge part 19b of the edge part of the opening part 19. As shown in FIG. Further, the protruding portion 19c may be detachably fixed to the rotating body 10 by a screw, engagement, or the like, and the protruding portion 19c may be replaced according to the properties of 80 or the like.

  FIGS. 11A to 11C are front views illustrating examples of other arrangement configurations of the rotating body 10 and the counter body 20. First, FIG. 5A shows an example in which the opposing body 20 is arranged on the drive device 40 side with respect to the rotating body 10. In this case, a through hole 28 is formed in the opposing body 20, and the drive shaft 50 is inserted through the through hole 28. When the rotating body 10 and the opposing body 20 are arranged in this way, the target fluid 80 below the container 70 can be sucked up by the suction port 12 and heated or cooled.

  FIG. 11B shows an example in which the rotating body 10 is arranged on both sides of the opposing body 20. In this case, the two rotating bodies 10 also serve as one opposing body 20, and efficient heating or cooling can be performed with the two opposing surfaces 20 as the second opposing surfaces 22. In addition, since the target fluid 80 can be agitated by the two rotators 10, the temperature adjustment capability can be increased.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11 (b), a through-hole 28 is formed in the opposing body 20, and the two rotating bodies 10 are connected through the through-hole 28. 10 is driven to rotate, but the two rotating bodies 10 may be driven by dedicated driving devices 40, respectively. Further, the two rotating bodies 10 may be rotated in the same direction, or may be rotated in directions opposite to each other. Further, the opening 19 may be provided only in one of the two rotating bodies 10.

  FIG. 11C shows an example in which not only the rotating body 10 but also the opposing body 20 is rotated. In this example, the drive shaft 50 and the rotator 10 are configured in a hollow structure, and a counter body drive shaft 52 for driving the counter body 20 is inserted through the drive shaft 50 and the rotary body 10 so as to be connected to the counter body 20. And the drive device 40 is comprised so that rotation driving of the drive shaft 50 connected to the rotary body 10 and the opposing body drive shaft 52 connected to the opposing body 20 is respectively possible.

  In this case, the rotating body 10 is rotated and the counter body 20 is rotated in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating body 10, that is, the rotating body 10 and the counter body 20 are double-reversed, thereby the first counter surface. Since a complicated flow can be generated between 18 and the second facing surface 22 and in the vicinity of the opening 19, heating or cooling can be made more efficient. In addition, the rotational speed (rotational speed) of the rotary body 10 and the opposing body 20 may be the same, or may be different. The heating / cooling capacity can be adjusted by appropriately adjusting the rotation speeds of the rotating body 10 and the counter body 20.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 11C, the rotating body 10 and the opposing body 20 may be rotated in the same direction. Even in this case, if the rotation speed of the rotating body 10 and the rotation speed of the opposing body 20 are different, a complicated flow can be generated between the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22. Further, the opposed body drive shaft 52 is not inserted into the drive shaft 50 and the rotating body 10 but is connected to the opposed body 20 from the opposite side of the rotating body 10, and the driving device 40 different from the rotating body 10 is used. The counter body 20 may be driven to rotate.

  Further, the opposing body 20 has a central axis other than those fixedly arranged as in the examples shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B and those rotated as in the example shown in FIG. It may be arranged in a state of being supported rotatably around C. That is, the opposing body 20 may be disposed so as to be rotated together with the rotating rotating body 10 due to the viscosity of the fluid between the first opposing surface 18 and the second opposing surface 22. Even in this case, a complicated flow can be generated between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22 and in the vicinity of the opening 19. In addition, when the opposing body 20 is rotationally driven or rotatably supported, the heating medium, power, and the like may be supplied to the heating / cooling device 30 via an appropriate rotary joint or the like.

  FIG. 12A is a front view showing an example in which the rotating body 10 also serving as the suction port 12 is arranged on both sides of the opposing body 20, and FIG. 12B is a cross-sectional view of the example. FIG. In this example, two rotating bodies 10 are connected by a connecting portion 13 through a through hole 28 provided in the opposing body 20. Then, the flow passage 16 is formed so as to connect the discharge port 14 provided in the rotating body 10 on the drive shaft 50 side (upper side in the figure) and the suction port 12 provided in the rotating body 10 on the opposite side (lower side in the figure). doing. Specifically, the centrifugal direction portion 16b of the flow passage 16 provided in the rotating body 10 on the drive shaft 50 side is connected to the flow passage 16 of the opposite rotating body 10 via a connection portion 16c formed in the connecting portion 13. ing. The opening 19 is provided in both the centrifugal direction portion 16b of the flow passage 16 on the drive shaft 50 side and the centrifugal direction portion 16b of the flow passage 16 on the opposite side.

  Also in this case, as in the example shown in FIG. 11B, efficient heating or cooling can be performed using the two opposing surfaces 20 as the second opposing surfaces 22. In addition, although the temperature adjustment capability can be increased by stirring with the two rotating bodies 10, by providing the suction port 12 only on the opposite side of the driving shaft 10, the flow from the driving shaft side 10 toward the rotating body 10 is achieved. Can be prevented from becoming too strong. Depending on the state of the target fluid 80, it is possible to further increase the temperature adjustment capability.

  Needless to say, the suction port 12 may be provided only in the rotating body 10 on the drive shaft 50 side. Further, the opening 19 may be provided only in one of the two rotating bodies 10. Further, the suction port 12 may be provided in both of the two rotators 10, and the discharge port 14 may be provided in only one of them.

  FIGS. 13A and 13B are schematic views illustrating an example in which a part of the container 70 containing the target fluid 80 is the opposing body 20. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the rotating body 10 is disposed close to the bottom wall portion 72 of the container 70, and the first facing surface 18 leaves a predetermined gap G and the inner wall surface 72 a of the bottom wall portion 72. It is trying to face. By doing in this way, the bottom wall part 72 of the container 70 can be made into the opposing body 20, and the inner wall surface 72a of the bottom wall part 72 can be made into the 2nd opposing surface 22.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13B, the rotating body 10 is arranged close to the bottom wall portion 72 of the container 70, and the first facing surface 18 leaves a predetermined gap G and the inner wall surface 72 a of the bottom wall portion 72. The bottom wall 72 of the container 70 is the opposing body 20, the inner wall surface 72 a of the bottom wall 72 is the second opposing surface 22, and the rotating body 10 is fixed to the bottom wall by the magnetic coupling 90. 72 is driven to rotate from the outside. In this example, by attaching a magnet 92 to the rotating body 10, the rotating body 10 can be rotationally driven by the magnetic coupling 90 from the outside of the container 70 sandwiching the bottom wall portion 72. A cylindrical linear motor may be used instead of the magnetic coupling 90.

  Thus, by making a part of the container 70 the opposing body 20, the temperature adjustment device 1 can be simply configured, and maintenance such as cleaning and removal of clogging can be facilitated. In particular, since the heating / cooling device 30 can be provided outside the container 70, the degree of freedom in the configuration of the heating / cooling device 30 and the supply system such as the heat medium and power is increased, and efficient temperature adjustment can be performed at low cost. Can be realized. In addition, the temperature adjustment device 1 can be realized by utilizing the existing container 70 including the heating / cooling device 30.

  In this case, the rotating body 10 may be moved along the inner wall surface 72a of the bottom wall portion 72 during temperature adjustment. Further, for example, a portion other than the bottom wall portion 72 of the container 70 such as the side wall portion 74 may be used as the opposing body 20. The range in which the heating / cooling device 30 is provided is not particularly limited. For example, the heating / cooling device 30 may be provided in a portion of the container 70 that does not become the opposing body 20 such as the side wall portion 74.

  FIG. 14A is a front view showing an example in which the heating / cooling device 30 is also provided in the rotating body 10. In the example shown in the figure, the heating / cooling device 30 provided in the rotating body 10 is disposed in the vicinity of the first facing surface 18 between the four flow passages 16, and mainly through the first facing surface 18. It is configured to supply (i.e., heat) ambient heat or to absorb (i.e., cool) ambient heat. Thus, since the heating fluid cooling device 30 is also provided in the rotating body 10, the target fluid 80 can be heated or cooled from both sides between the first facing surface 18 and the second facing surface 22. Or it becomes possible to perform cooling more efficiently.

  The heating / cooling device 30 provided in the rotating body 10 may be one that performs heating or cooling only through the first facing surface 18, or the first facing surface together with the first facing surface 18. 18 may be configured to perform heating or cooling via a surface other than 18 (for example, the upper surface 10a, the side surface 10c, and the inner wall surface of the flow passage 16). It may be configured to perform heating or cooling only through the surface. The heating / cooling device 30 is also provided in the rotating body 10 together with the opposing body 20, and the temperature adjustment can be made more efficient by heating or cooling appropriate portions around the rotating body 10 and in the flow passage 16. .

  Further, the heating / cooling device 30 provided in the counter body 20 may be omitted, and the heating / cooling device 30 may be provided only in the rotating body 10. Even in this case, if the heating / cooling device 30 provided on the rotating body 10 heats or cools the target fluid 80 via at least the first facing surface 18, the heating / cooling device 30 is provided only on the facing body 20. It is possible to achieve the same effect as the case. Needless to say, the heating medium and the electric power supplied to the heating / cooling device 30 provided in the rotating body 10 may be supplied via an appropriate rotary joint or the like.

  FIG. 14B is a front view showing an example in which one of the two rotating bodies 10 provided with the heating / cooling device 30 is the opposing body 20. In this example, the two rotating bodies 10 provided with the heating / cooling device 30 are arranged so that the first facing surfaces 18 face each other, and are rotated by the dedicated driving device 40 via the driving shaft 50. Yes. In this case, for example, the lower rotating body 10 in the figure functions as the facing body 20, and the first facing surface 18 of the lower rotating body 10 functions as the second facing surface 22. Further, the opposing body 20 is provided with the suction port 12, the discharge port 14, the flow passage 16 and the opening 19.

  Also in this case, as in the example shown in FIG. 14A, the target fluid 80 can be heated or cooled between the two first facing surfaces 18 from both sides, so that heating or cooling is more efficient. Can be performed automatically. Further, similarly to the example shown in FIG. 11B, the target fluid 80 can be agitated by the two rotating bodies 10, so that the temperature adjustment capability can be increased.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14B, the two rotating bodies 10 may be rotated in opposite directions, or may be rotated in the same direction at different rotational speeds. The two rotating bodies 10 may be configured in the same shape as each other or may be configured in different shapes. Further, the opening 19 may not be provided in the rotating body 10 as the opposing body 20. Alternatively, one drive shaft 50 and the rotator 10 may be formed in a hollow structure, and the two rotators 10 may be driven from the same side. Needless to say, the heating / cooling device 30 may be provided only on one of the rotating bodies 10.

  FIG. 15A is a front view showing an example of the case where an adjustment member 21 that adjusts the heating / cooling capacity is provided on the opposing body 20, and FIG. 15B is an E view of FIG. 15A. FIG. In this example, the adjustment member 21 is a plurality of substantially rod-shaped members protruding from the facing surface 22 of the facing body 20 toward the rotating body 10 and is disposed so as to surround the rotating body 10 from the outside in the centrifugal direction. Yes. A heating / cooling device 30 is disposed inside each of the plurality of adjusting members 21.

  Thus, by providing the adjusting member 21 including the heating / cooling device 30 on the opposing body 20, the target fluid 80 discharged from the discharge port 14, or the target fluid that flows around the rotating body 10 due to stagnation due to viscosity or the like. Since heating or cooling can be performed on 80, the heating and cooling capacity can be increased. Further, by arranging the plurality of adjusting members 21 in a comb-like shape with appropriate intervals, the heating / cooling capability can be enhanced without hindering the flow generated by the rotating body 10. Further, by appropriately disturbing the flow around the rotator 10 by the adjusting member 21, the heat transfer rate can be increased and the stirring ability can be increased, so that the temperature adjusting ability can be increased.

  In addition, the shape, protrusion direction, and arrangement | positioning structure of the adjustment member 21 are not specifically limited, Arbitrary shapes, protrusion directions, and arrangement | positioning structures are employable. For example, the adjustment member 21 may be configured in a mesh shape, a lattice shape, or the like. Further, the adjustment member 21 may protrude from the non-facing surface 26 toward the opposite side of the rotating body 10. By appropriately providing the adjusting member 21 so as to heat or cool the target fluid 80 flowing around the rotating body 10 and the counter body 20, it becomes possible to perform heating or cooling more efficiently. Further, the adjustment member 21 may be configured to guide a flow around the rotating body 10 in a predetermined direction, such as a flow from the discharge port 14.

  FIG. 16A is a front view showing an example in which the side surface 10c of the rotating body 10 provided with the discharge port 14 is the first facing surface 18, and FIG. It is a bottom view and the figure (c) is the FF sectional view taken on the line of the figure (b).
