Description

The present invention relates to a mixed-system that will be subjected to the mixing of two or more fluids.

  In various industrial fields, materials having fluidity such as liquids, gels, pastes, powders, granules, or mixtures (slurries) of granules and liquids (hereinafter referred to as these in this specification) Are generally referred to as fluids).

Mixing such fluids is performed in all production fields, especially in the chemical field. During mixing, depending on the mixing target, the mixing ratio and mixing time of the fluid may be strictly controlled. For example, in the method for producing an aramid fiber disclosed in Patent Document 1, as described in paragraph [0022], aromatic dicarboxylic acid claroid and aromatic diamine are mixed and reacted at the time of polymerization. It is described that the molar ratio (mixing ratio) of acid claroid / aromatic diamine = 1.000 / 1 to 1.002 / 1 should be targeted, and a very strict mixing ratio is required.
When the neutralization agent is added to the polymerization solution subjected to the solution polymerization reaction as described in paragraphs [0027] to [0030] for neutralization, the polymerization solution at the time of the neutralization reaction is sufficiently mixed and kneaded. It is described that it is appropriate to carry out with stirring. In other words, it is implicit that sufficient mixing takes time.

Since polymerization is affected by the mixing ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time, and stirring effect, there has been a demand for mixing in consideration of these factors. Further, although not limited to polymerization, there has been a demand to strictly control the mixing ratio and mixing time by mixing performed in the chemical field.
Thus, the invention which concerns on the apparatus and method which performs a strict mixing is disclosed by patent documents 2-5, for example.

  Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 11-514573, title of the invention “Method of preparing a dispersion and conducting a chemical reaction in a dispersed liquid phase”) and Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 10-512197, title of the invention) In the prior art described in “Static Micromixer”), each of the fluid A and the fluid B is divided into a filamentous fluid by an arrangement of a plurality of passages and discharged into the dispersion chamber. Are arranged alternately to control the mixing ratio and mixing time.

  Further, in the prior art described in Patent Document 4 (German Patent Application Publication No. DE 19961257A1, “Micromixer”), a plurality of fluids are linearly introduced into the inner space of the ring body by flowing fluid from the outer periphery of the ring body. The micromixer is made to discharge and mix the linear fluid inside the ring body.

  Further, in the prior art described in Patent Document 5 (German Patent Application Publication DE 10148615A1, “Procedure and apparatus for effective chemical process”), a hole for a path, a hole for a fluid storage space, or a hole for a mixing space is provided. In this apparatus, a plurality of provided plates are stacked to form a path, a fluid storage space, and a mixing space, and fluid flowing out from the path is mixed in the mixing space.

JP-A-8-74123 (paragraph numbers 0022, 0027 to 0030) JP-T-11-514573 (FIG. 1) Japanese National Patent Publication No. 10-512197 (FIG. 3) German Patent Application Publication No. DE 19961257A1 (FIG. 1a) German Patent Application Publication DE 10148615 A1 (FIG. 8)

  The conventional techniques described in Patent Documents 2 to 5 described above have the following problems (1) to (3).

(1) In the prior art described in Patent Documents 2 to 5, mixing is possible with a fluid having a low viscosity such as a liquid. However, a fluid having a high viscosity such as a gel is not practical because of a large pressure loss. .
There was a request to use it regardless of the viscosity.

(2) In the prior arts of Patent Documents 2, 3, and 5, there is no problem at the laboratory level, but when used for production, the amount that can be mixed is small, the scale is small, and the usability is poor.

(3) Furthermore, in the prior arts described in Patent Documents 2 to 5, there is no measure for directly contacting a plurality of linear (thread-like) fluids discharged from spaced discharge holes. Therefore, in the case of fluids with high fluidity, such as in the case of gas or fluids with low viscosity, they spread naturally and diffusely mix with each other, but in the case of fluids with high viscosity, there is a means for direct contact with each other. There was no guarantee that the multiple fluids were properly diffusively mixed.
Furthermore, the prior arts of Patent Documents 2, 3, and 5 have a large contact area of the same type of linear fluid, and time is required for mixing. This point will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 33 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the mixing of the prior art. As shown in FIG. 33 (a), the linear fluid is discharged and different linear fluids are adjacent in two directions (up and down in FIG. 33 (a)), but the other two directions (FIG. 33 (a)). In FIG. 33 (a), the same kind of linear fluids are adjacent to each other, and in the direction in which the linear fluid is discharged (front and rear in FIG. 33 (a), hereinafter referred to as the linear direction). Since the body is continuous, the contact area of the same type of linear fluid is wide, and the area of contact of different types of linear fluid is small. In such a case, the diffusion distance is long, and as will be described in detail later, it takes time for natural diffusion, and in this respect, it is difficult to shorten the mixing time.
In Patent Document 4, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), three kinds of linear fluids are in contact, but only two adjacent surfaces are in contact with each other. In this respect, the diffusion distance is long, the contact area is small, and natural diffusion is performed. It took time, and it was difficult to shorten the mixing time.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to increase the mixing amount and to be used on an industrial scale, and to improve the mixing ratio of a plurality of fluids and to improve the mixing ratio. and to provide a mixed-device you realized shortening of the time.

According to the present invention as described above, there can be used on a large scale industrial by increasing the mixing amount, mixed-realized shortening of high accuracy and mixing time of the mixing ratio of the plurality of fluid An apparatus can be provided.

The following describes mixed-device of the best mode for carrying out the present invention. First, in order to facilitate understanding, the principle of improving the mixing ability, that is, to correct the mixing ratio and shorten the mixing time will be described. 1 to 3 are explanatory views for explaining the mixing principle. The mixing of fluids in the prior art means, for example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the second fluid B is put in a beaker filled with the first fluid A, and as shown in FIG. When stirring and mixing with the stirring rod 10000, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the diffusion distance between the first fluid A and the second fluid B is shortened and the contact area is increased. Go. When this mixture is stirred and mixed more, the contact area further increases and mixing is performed by natural diffusion.

  The natural diffusion mixing time will be described. As shown in FIG. 2A, a case is assumed where the first fluid A and the second fluid B are put separately. If the distance x between the first fluid A and the second fluid B is 1 cm = 10 mm, the diffusion time is assumed to be 1 day = 86400 seconds. Here, as shown in FIG. 2B, in the mixing by the natural diffusion of molecules, the time required for mixing is proportional to the square of the distance x. Therefore, if the distance x is half of 5 mm, the time required for mixing is 1 / 4. 2C, when the distance x between the first fluid A and the second fluid B is 50 μm, the distance is 50 μm / 10 mm = 1/200 compared to FIG. Therefore, the diffusion time is as follows.

  Thus, the mixing time can be within a few seconds. When the diffusion distance is 10 μm, the distance is 10 μm / 10 mm = 1/1000 compared to FIG. 2A, and the diffusion time is as follows.

  By reducing the distance, the mixing time required for one day can be reduced to within 0.1 seconds.

  In this way, the mixing time can be shortened by simply forming a multi-layered structure as shown in FIG. 2 (c), but more preferably as shown in FIG. , It becomes a four-way reaction, and the mixing time is further increased. Also, the mixing becomes more uniform.

More preferably, the reaction becomes a six-way reaction as a three-dimensionally alternating mosaic as shown in FIG. 3B, and the mixing time is further increased. Also, the mixing becomes more uniform.
However, the three-dimensional arrangement as shown in FIG. 3B can be arranged as long as it is a solid such as sugar cubes, but it is difficult to arrange with a fluid and requires some ingenuity.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3C, first, a linear / thread-like first linear fluid A ′ is formed from the first fluid A, and then the linear / thread-like is formed from the second fluid B. The second linear fluid B ′ is formed.
At this time, the first linear fluid A ′ and the second linear fluid B ′ are alternately arranged adjacently and differently in four directions. Further, the first linear fluid A ′ and the second linear fluid B ′ are cut and divided to have predetermined unit lengths to form the first unit fluid A ″ and the second unit fluid B ″. Then, as shown in FIG. 3D, the first and second unit fluids A ″ and B ″ are alternately stacked. Then, as shown in FIG. 3E, different types of unit fluids are arranged in six directions of a certain type of unit fluid.
If arranged in this way, the first and second unit fluids A ″ and B ″ can flow and can be arranged as shown in FIG. 3 (b), thereby shortening the mixing time and achieving uniform mixing. it can.
As the size of the unit fluid is reduced, the arrangement of the component particles has no regularity due to natural diffusion, and can be close to a statistically complete mixed state that is a random state.

In summary, the mixing ratio is refined and mixed by dividing the fluid to be mixed into linear or granular (unit size) pieces, and disposing different types of fluid around a certain type of fluid. Realize time savings.
In addition, even a fluid with high viscosity, which has been difficult in the prior art, can be mixed in a variety of ways by dividing it into linear or units.

Based on the above points, the generating means built in the mixing apparatus of the present invention will be described first. This generating means generates a linear fluid with reduced pressure loss even with a highly viscous fluid, and is necessary for improving the performance of the mixing apparatus. 4A and 4B are explanatory diagrams for explaining the generating means, FIG. 4A is a sectional view taken along the line CC, FIG. 4B is a sectional view taken along the line AA, FIG. 4C is a front view, FIG. FIG. 4D is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB, and FIG. 4E is a discharge position diagram of the fluid.
The generation unit 100 includes a first supply unit 1, a second supply unit 2, a first flow path 3, a second flow path 4, a first equal pressure space 5, a second equal pressure space 6, a first discharge hole group 7, Two discharge hole groups 8 are provided.

The 1st supply part 1 is a through-hole to the up-down direction of FIG.4 (c), and supplies the 1st fluid A. As shown in FIG. The 2nd supply part 2 is a through-hole to the up-down direction of FIG.4 (c), and supplies the 2nd fluid B. FIG.
The first flow path 3 communicates with the first supply unit 1 and allows the first fluid A to flow therethrough. The second flow path 4 communicates with the second supply unit 2 and allows the second fluid B to flow therethrough.
The first equal pressure space 5 is a space communicating with the first flow path 3 and equalizes the pressure of the first fluid A. The second equal pressure space 6 is a space communicating with the second flow path 4 and equalizes the pressure of the second fluid B.
In the first discharge hole group 7, a plurality of discharge holes are arranged, the first fluid A is linear, and the first linear fluid A ′ is discharged. In the second discharge hole 8, a plurality of discharge holes are arranged, the second fluid B is linear, and the second linear fluid B ′ is discharged.

  Such a generating means 100 includes a hole for the first supply unit 1, a hole for the second supply unit 2, a groove for the first flow path 3, a groove for the first isostatic pressure space 5, and the first discharge hole group 7. A first plate, a hole for the first supply section 1, a hole for the second supply section 2, a groove for the second flow path 4, a groove for the second isostatic pressure space 6, a second discharge hole A large number of second plates on which the groups 8 are formed are prepared, and these first plates and second plates are alternately laminated and formed by bonding or diffusion bonding.

In such a generating means 100, the first flow path 3 and the second flow path 4 are alternately stacked in the vertical direction of FIG. 4 (c), as is apparent from FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (d). The first supply section 1 is connected to a plurality of first flow paths 3 every other stage in the vertical direction, and the second supply section 2 has a plurality of second flow paths 4 every other stage in the vertical direction. Articulated.
The first flow path 3 is a plurality of lines (flow paths) in the left-right direction, and the first fluid A is uniformly supplied to each region of the first equal pressure space 5. The second flow path 4 has a plurality of lines (flow paths) in the left-right direction, and supplies the second fluid B evenly to each region of the second equal pressure space 6.
The first linear fluid A ′ and the second linear fluid B ′ are discharged from the generating means 100 in the arrangement as shown in FIG.

A function performed by the first equal pressure space 5 and the second equal pressure space 6 in the generating unit 100 will be described. Hereinafter, since the first equal pressure space 5 and the second equal pressure space 6 are common, they are simply referred to as an equal pressure space without distinction. Similarly, the first supply unit 1 and the second supply unit 2 are simply supply units, the first flow path 3 and the second flow path 4 are simply flow paths, and the first discharge hole group 7 and the second discharge hole group 8 are simply discharge holes. It is called a group.
The primary function of the isobaric space is to reduce pressure loss.
In the generating means 100, since the isobaric space is provided between the supply section and the discharge hole group, the shape and the number of the channels on the upstream side of the isobaric space are the diameters of the discharge holes on the downstream side of the isobaric space. And can be determined regardless of the number. For example, a plurality of flow paths having a large cross-sectional area can be arranged. By carrying out like this, the pressure loss when a fluid passes through here can be made small.
In addition, on the discharge hole side downstream of the equal pressure space, even if it is desired to reduce the discharge hole diameter, the distance L from the equal pressure space to the outlet of the discharge hole group can be reduced, so that the pressure loss of the fluid passing therethrough Can be reduced.
As described above, the equal pressure space is provided, and the functions are divided by the flow paths before and after the space. As seen in Patent Documents 2, 3, and 5, which are conventional techniques, the same cross-sectional area as that of the discharge hole diameter is maintained until the supply unit. Compared with the case where the flow path is formed long, the overall pressure loss can be made much smaller. The difference is particularly noticeable when applied to fluids with high viscosity.
Next, the equalization of the discharge performance by the uniform pressure which is the second function of the equal pressure space will be described.
Since the fluid is supplied from the supply section to the equal pressure chamber through a plurality of flow paths, the pressure loss varies slightly depending on the flow paths. However, by making the volume of the isobaric space sufficiently large with respect to the flow path, after the fluids from all the flow paths have joined, the pressure can be made uniform over the entire area of the isobaric space. Therefore, the fluid discharged from the equal pressure space through the discharge hole group has no variation in the discharge amount between the holes, and uniform discharge performance can be obtained.
With the above-described two functions of the equal pressure space, even a highly viscous fluid has a small pressure loss and a uniform discharge performance.
As a third function of the isobaric space, as a result of the above, the generation means 100 can be scaled up.
In the prior art, for example, in the case of Document 2, if the size of the apparatus is increased by increasing the number of holes per row, the overall shape will be enlarged almost in proportion to the ratio of the number of holes. Since the entire cross-sectional shape is the same and the entire length is long, the pressure loss of the fluid is further increased and may not be realized as a device. On the other hand, in the case of this application, there are few restrictions about these pressure losses, and the enlargement of an apparatus is attained.

Subsequently, a modification of the generation unit will be described with reference to the drawings. 5A and 5B are explanatory views for explaining the generation means, FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC, FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA, FIG. 5C is a front view, and FIG. FIG. 5D is a sectional view taken along the line BB, and FIG. 5E is a discharge position diagram of the fluid.
This form is almost the same as the previous form, but differs in that the first flow path 3 and the second flow path 4 are flow paths in one space as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (e). The first flow path 3 and the second flow path 4 function as a pressure equalization unit. Even in this case, the pressure is finally equalized by the first equal pressure space 5 and the second equal pressure space 6 and sent to the first discharge hole group 7 and the second discharge hole group 8. Almost the same amount can be discharged at the same pressure.

Since these generation means 100 formed the first equal pressure space 5 and the second equal pressure space 6 near the upstream side of the first discharge hole group 7 and the second discharge hole group 8, respectively, It is possible to use not only powders but also highly viscous fluids such as gels, pastes, or mixtures of particles and liquids (slurries). There are no large or small restrictions, and it can be a generating means used for mixing.

  Then, the mixing apparatus containing the said production | generation means is demonstrated.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory view of mixing, FIG. 11 (a) is a sectional view of the mixed fluid, and FIG. 11 (b) is an explanatory view of natural diffusion.
The mixing apparatus includes a generation unit 100 and an arrangement unit 200.
As shown in FIG. 10A, the generation unit 100 is a concentric circle on the upper side of the arrangement unit 200 and centered on the central axis of the arrangement unit 200 having a rotating body shape as shown in FIG. 10B. Discharge holes of the discharge hole group are arranged on the top. In this embodiment, the first linear fluid A ′ (white in FIG. 10) and the second linear fluid B ′ (black in FIG. 10) are discharged from the generating means 100.

In the generating means 100, the discharge holes are arranged at the intersections of the many concentric circles and the many parallel lines, and the second linear fluid B is adjacent to the discharge holes for discharging the first linear fluid A ′ in the concentric circumferential direction. The discharge holes for discharging 'are alternately arranged, and the same kind of discharge holes are arranged in the parallel line direction. Preferably, the number of discharge holes for discharging the first linear fluid A ′ and the number of discharge holes for discharging the second linear fluid B ′ are the same. Compared with the generating means 100 described above with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9, although the discharge holes are provided along the circumference of the rotating body, they are different, but the other points are the same.
The disposing means 200 is a means by a disc-shaped or container-shaped receptor that rotates about the central axis of the concentric circle of the discharge hole as a rotation axis. The rotating body is, for example, a dish, a container, or an arm, and may be any one that accommodates the mixture. The mixture is accommodated while rotating the disk or container.

The arrangement means 200 described above can be rotated at a higher speed, and the mixed mixture may be moved by a centrifugal force to shorten the mixing time.
Further, since the mixing ratio becomes more accurate when the distance L from the upper surface of the mixture to the generating means 100 (see FIG. 10 (a)) is made substantially constant, the arrangement ratio increases as the volume of the mixture increases by stacking. The means 200 may be lowered little by little, or a configuration may be adopted in which the mixture is discharged from the lower part of the arrangement means 200.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the mixing apparatus 1000 includes a cutting blade 300, a scraping blade 301, a scraping blade 302, a supply main body 403, and a plate with holes. 502, air cylinders 601, 602, and 603 and a mixture stirring tank 700 are provided.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 31B, the cutting blade 300 and the scraping blade 301 are both inclined by 45 °.

At this time, the holed plate 502 is stopped at a position where the fluid is not discharged. First, when the air cylinder 601 moves the cutting blade 300, the cutting blade 300 moves by the stroke A and stops. Then, as shown in FIG.31 (c), it adheres to the blade part 300 for cutting.
Subsequently, when the air cylinder 602 moves the scraping blade 301, the scraping blade 301 moves by the stroke B and stops. Then, it adheres to the cutting blade 300 and the scraping blade 301 in the state shown in FIG.
Subsequently, when the air cylinder 603 moves the scraping blade 302, the scraping blade 302 moves by the stroke C and stops. Then, in the state shown in FIG. 31 (d), the scraping blade-like portion 302 is lowered from above with respect to the cutting blade-like portion 300 and the scraping-off blade-like portion 301 and scraped downward. Then, a lump as shown in FIG. 28 falls into the mixture diffusion tank 700. Finally, the mixture is diffused in the mixture diffusion tank 700 to produce a mixture.
Thereafter, the air cylinders 601 to 603 are operated to return the cutting blade 300, the scraping blade 301, and the scraping blade 302 to their original positions. Thereafter, the vibration of the plate with holes 502 is restarted and the same mixing is repeated.

  The various forms of the mixing apparatus have been described above. In this embodiment, various modifications are possible. For example, in the present embodiment, the description has been made with liquid / gel as a fluid. However, as shown in the explanatory diagram of the mixing device using another fluid in FIG. 32, the fluid may be a granular material having viscosity, and a mixing device in which the particles are alternately arranged may be used. Even in such a case, since other types of grains are arranged on six sides of a certain type of grains, the mixing ability can be increased.

  In order to further increase the mixing ability, the linear fluid may be discharged from the discharge hole and then twisted. Moreover, you may make it pull after discharging | emitting a linear fluid from an ejection hole. Alternatively, the linear fluid may be discharged from the discharge hole and then compressed with a roll. Although these structures are selected as appropriate, any of them can increase the mixing ability.
