【考案が解決しようとしている課題】[Problems that the device is trying to solve]

しかしながら、従来のサンドミルでは、弁部10の弁座17がすり鉢状のテー パー面となっているため、弁部10の弁座17から弁体13が離れ、弁部10が 開いているときは、攪拌容器4の中で攪拌されている粒状のメディアがこの弁座 17に衝突し、同弁座17が摩耗しやすい。このため、サンドミルの運転を続け ていると、弁部10の閉り具合いが次第に悪くなり、弁部10に密閉状態が次第 に保てなくなる。また、ダクト11側から混合物の圧送を停止し、サンドミルの 運転を停止するとき、前記のような弁座17のテーパーにより、閉じようとする 弁体13と弁部10との隙間からメディアが弁部10の中に進入する。このため 、サンドミルを再駆動し、ダクト11側から混合物を攪拌容器4へ圧送して弁部 10を開こうとするとき、メディアによって弁体の動きが妨げられ、弁動作が悪 くなるという課題があった。 そこで本考案は、前記従来の問題点に鑑み、混合物を攪拌容器に導入する弁部 の摩耗が少なく、且つメディアによって弁動作が妨げられないサンドミルを提供 することを目的とする。 However, in the conventional sand mill, since the valve seat 17 of the valve portion 10 has a mortar-shaped taper surface, when the valve body 13 is separated from the valve seat 17 of the valve portion 10 and the valve portion 10 is open, The granular medium stirred in the stirring container 4 collides with the valve seat 17, and the valve seat 17 is easily worn. For this reason, if the sand mill continues to operate, the degree of closure of the valve portion 10 gradually deteriorates, and the sealed state of the valve portion 10 cannot be gradually maintained. Further, when the pumping of the mixture is stopped from the duct 11 side and the operation of the sand mill is stopped, the taper of the valve seat 17 as described above tends to close the medium from the gap between the valve body 13 and the valve portion 10 by which the medium is released. Enter the section 10. For this reason, when the sand mill is re-driven and the mixture is pressure-fed from the duct 11 side to the stirring container 4 to open the valve portion 10, the medium obstructs the movement of the valve element, resulting in poor valve operation. was there. In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a sand mill in which the valve portion for introducing the mixture into the stirring container is less worn and the valve operation is not hindered by the medium.

次に、図面に従い、本考案の実施例について詳細に説明する。 本考案によるサンドミルの基本的な構成は、図3に示すものと同じでり、その 相違点は、攪拌容器4の中に混合物を導入する導入口、つまり弁部10の部分に ある。そこで、この弁部10の構成について説明すると、図1及び図2に各々示 すように、攪拌容器4の底壁に貫通するように取り付けた円筒形の弁部10にダ クト11の先端が接続され、この弁部10の上端縁に弁座17が形成されている 。また、この弁部10の内側には、混合物が通過する通路22を有する弁体支持 部14が設けられ、弁体13から下方に延設されたスライド杆18がこの弁体支 持部14にスライド自在に貫通し、支持されている。この弁体13は、前記弁部 10の弁座17のテーパーに対応する面を有し、図1(a)で示すように、この テーパー面が弁部10の弁座17に当たることにより、弁部17が閉じられる。 前記スライド杆18には、弁体支持部14との間にバネ21が係装され、このバ ネ21には、弁体13が弁部10の弁座17に当たる方向に弾力が付勢されてい る。 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The basic structure of the sand mill according to the present invention is the same as that shown in FIG. 3, and the difference lies in the inlet for introducing the mixture into the stirring container 4, that is, the valve portion 10. Therefore, the structure of the valve portion 10 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tip of the duct 11 is attached to the cylindrical valve portion 10 which is installed so as to penetrate the bottom wall of the stirring container 4. The valve seat 17 is formed on the upper end edge of the valve portion 10. A valve body support portion 14 having a passage 22 through which the mixture passes is provided inside the valve portion 10, and a slide rod 18 extending downward from the valve body 13 is provided on the valve body support portion 14. It is slidably penetrated and supported. The valve body 13 has a surface corresponding to the taper of the valve seat 17 of the valve portion 10, and as shown in FIG. The part 17 is closed. A spring 21 is attached to the slide rod 18 between the slide rod 18 and the valve body support portion 14, and a resilient force is applied to the blade 21 in a direction in which the valve body 13 contacts the valve seat 17 of the valve portion 10. It

【0009】 ここで本考案では、弁部10の弁座17がその外周側で低く内周側で高くなる ようなテーパーを有しており、弁体13は、この弁部10の弁座17のテーパー に対応するテーパーを持った面を有しており、このテーパー面が弁座17に当た ることにより、弁部10が閉じられる。このように、弁座17にテーパーを形成 したことから、弁体13が弁部10の弁座17から離れているときでも、攪拌容 器4の中のメディアが弁座17に衝突しにくい。また、サンドミルの運転を停止 するときも、閉じようとする弁体13と弁部10との隙間からメディアが弁部1 0の中に進入しない。 図1で示した実施例では、弁体13と弁部10の外径は何れも等しく、弁部1 0が閉じられたとき、弁体13の外周縁は弁座17の外周縁と一致する。これに 対して、図2で示した弁体13の外径が弁部10の外径より大きく、弁部10が 閉じられたとき、弁体13の外周縁は弁座17の外周縁より外側に位置する。こ れにより、メディアが弁部10の中により入り込みにくい。Here, in the present invention, the valve seat 17 of the valve portion 10 has a taper such that it is low on the outer peripheral side and high on the inner peripheral side, and the valve body 13 is the valve seat 17 of the valve portion 10. Has a surface having a taper corresponding to the taper, and the taper surface contacts the valve seat 17 to close the valve portion 10. Since the valve seat 17 is thus tapered, the medium in the stirring container 4 is less likely to collide with the valve seat 17 even when the valve body 13 is separated from the valve seat 17 of the valve portion 10. Further, even when the operation of the sand mill is stopped, the medium does not enter the valve portion 10 through the gap between the valve body 13 and the valve portion 10 which are about to be closed. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the outer diameters of the valve body 13 and the valve portion 10 are equal, and when the valve portion 10 is closed, the outer peripheral edge of the valve body 13 coincides with the outer peripheral edge of the valve seat 17. .. On the other hand, the outer diameter of the valve body 13 shown in FIG. 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the valve portion 10, and when the valve portion 10 is closed, the outer peripheral edge of the valve body 13 is outside the outer peripheral edge of the valve seat 17. Located in. This makes it difficult for the media to enter the valve portion 10.
