The present invention relates to a material mixing and homogenizing apparatus, and more particularly, to mixing and mixing a material to improve the efficiency of homogenizing any one type of material or after mixing two types of materials. It relates to a homogenizer.

A material mixing and homogenizing apparatus is a method of homogenizing any kind of material or substance (collectively, "material") using microbubbles or further mixing other materials, so that they can be mixed homogeneously with each other. Say what you did.

For example, if the milk is made homogeneously, milk is mixed with other ingredients to produce dairy products, or a liquid mixture is mixed with other ingredients such as oil or petroleum, a physical method using a mixer or the like. It is difficult for the materials to mix homogeneously by themselves.

Therefore, in order for them to be homogenized and mixed, the components constituting the material are split into particles of the minimum unit, and then mixed by microbubbles, or the auxiliary material to be mixed with the main material is rapidly mixed, and then they are again the minimum unit. It would be desirable to allow the particles to break up and mix.

The apparatus for mixing and homogenizing such materials does not apply only to the cases described above, but as known from the application No. 10-2001-46331, when the stream or the plant drainage is contaminated, the microorganisms are propagated in the contaminated water quality. In order to digest this pollutant, it is widely used as an aerator that induces the flow of fine bubble water.

However, in the conventionally known material mixing and homogenizing apparatus, the material flowing in the apparatus main body is provided with a plurality of protrusions that can be split and homogenized by a collision or ventu for quickly discharging the material that has hit the protrusions. It is all about using the tube.

Therefore, there is bound to be a limit to homogenizing substantially any type of material or homogenizing after mixing two kinds of materials. Accordingly, the present inventors have developed a device for mixing and homogenizing materials to homogenize any one type of material or to improve the efficiency of homogenizing after mixing two types of materials.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for mixing and homogenizing a material so as to improve the efficiency of homogenizing any one type of material or after mixing the two types of materials.

The object is, according to the present invention, the outer tube is provided with a main inlet for introducing the main material at one end and an auxiliary inlet for introducing the auxiliary material in one side region; An inner tube having a plurality of inlet holes formed at a side thereof and inserted into the outer tube with an inner surface of the outer tube and a predetermined chamber interposed therebetween to mix and discharge the main and auxiliary materials; It is achieved by a mixing and homogenizing apparatus of the material, including a homogenizing protrusion provided on the inner surface of the inner tube to homogenize the mixed main and auxiliary materials.

Here, the homogenizing protrusion, the shaft portion is one end is disposed in the inner surface inlet hole region of the inner tube; A head portion formed at an exposed end of the shaft portion and exposed toward the shaft center of the inner tube; It may be formed so as to integrally pass through the shaft portion and the head portion and communicate with the inlet hole to include a communication hole for guiding the auxiliary material introduced through the auxiliary inlet into the inner tube.

In this case, it may be more effective that the homogenizing protrusions are arranged on the inner circumference of the inner tube to form a group, and each group is alternately arranged along the direction of travel of the main material.

The apparatus may further include a rotating member provided on the inflow side of the inner tube with respect to the moving direction of the main material to disperse the direction of the main material introduced through the main inlet.

On the other hand, the object, the outer tube is provided with a main inlet for introducing the main material at one end and an auxiliary inlet for introducing the auxiliary material in one side portion; It is also achieved by a mixing and homogenizing device of the material, including a rotating member provided in the outer tube to distribute the direction of the main material introduced through the main inlet.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail for each embodiment of the present invention.

First embodiment

1 is a side cross-sectional view of a material mixing and homogenizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of the rotating member shown in Figure 1, Figure 3 is a homogenizing projection region shown in Figure 1 Figure 4 is an enlarged view of, Figure 4 is an internal projection of the inner tube.

As shown in Figure 1, the material mixing and homogenizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the outer tube 10, the inner tube 10 is inserted into the inner tube 10 along the longitudinal direction of the outer tube 10; The inner tube 40 and the plurality of homogenizing protrusions 50 provided on the inner surface of the inner tube 40 are included.

One end of the outer tube 10 formed of a tubular body is formed with a main inlet portion 10a through which the main material is introduced, and an auxiliary inlet portion 10b for introducing the auxiliary material in one side portion thereof is formed. If the device is to be mounted on a predetermined machine or the like, the brackets 12 formed on both ends of the outer tube 10 may be used.

For reference, the main material may be, for example, a liquid material such as milk or oil. When the main material is a liquid, the auxiliary material may be a material of a liquid different from the main material or a gaseous material. .

The inner tube 40 inserted into the outer tube 10 is also made of a tubular body similar to the outer tube 10, and the inner tube 40 is actually mixed and homogenized with the main material and the auxiliary material.

The inner tube 40 is inserted into the outer tube 10 with the inner surface of the outer tube 10 and the chamber S as a predetermined space therebetween, and an auxiliary material introduced through the auxiliary inlet 10b on the side thereof. A plurality of inflow holes 40a for introducing the material into the inner tube 40 are formed.

Inside the outer tube 10 is a configuration for doubling the speed of the main material introduced through the main inlet 10a, the inclined portion 20a gradually narrower than the diameter of the outer tube 10, and the inclination The flat part 20b arrange | positioned in parallel with the outer tube 10 is formed in the edge part of the part 20a.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the flat part 20b, a rotating member 30 is provided to disperse the direction of the main material introduced into the main inflow part 10a. The rotating member 30 can use both a fixed type and a movable type, and even if it is a movable type, what does not require separate power is employ | adopted.

The rotation member 30 is provided with a plurality of direction dispersion holes 30a and 30b for dispersing the direction of the main material introduced toward the main inlet 10a. On the basis of the traveling direction of the main material, the direction dispersion holes 30a disposed on the front surface and the direction dispersion holes 30b disposed on the rear surface are formed at different positions.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the main material introduced in the direction of the reference symbol "A" through the direction dispersion hole 30a disposed on the front surface passes through the direction dispersion hole 30b disposed therein. By proceeding after bending in the direction of "", the direction of the main material changes.

As the direction of the main material is changed in this way, it is helpful for the homogenization of the main material itself, but it is more advantageous for the homogeneous mixing with the auxiliary material introduced into the inner tube 40 later.

Since the rotating member 30 plays a role of dispersing the direction of the main material, the rotating member 30 may have a shape as shown in the drawing, or may be any type such as a propeller shape, a fan shape, or a screw shape. will be.

As described above, when the main material introduced through the main inlet 10a is dispersed in various directions through the rotating member 30, and then flows into the inner tube 40, the main material is the outer tube 10 and the inside. If it flows into the chamber (S) between the tube (40), confinement may occur in the inflow of auxiliary material. Therefore, in this embodiment, the end of the inner tube 40 adjacent to the rotating member 30 is also hermetically disposed in the flat portion 20b while the rotating member 30 is disposed in the flat portion 20b.

On the other hand, the inner surface of the inner tube 40 is actually provided with a homogenizing projection 50 for guiding the auxiliary material into the inner tube 40, homogenizing the mixed main and auxiliary materials.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the homogenization protrusion 50 has a shaft portion 50a, one end of which is disposed in the region of the inner surface inlet hole 40a of the inner tube 40, and an exposed end of the shaft portion 50a. A head portion 50b formed to be formed and exposed toward the shaft center of the inner tube 40 and the shaft portion 50a and the head portion 50b are integrally formed and communicate with the inflow hole 40a to support the auxiliary inlet portion 10b. It consists of a communication hole (50c) for guiding the auxiliary material introduced through the inner tube (40).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the homogenization protrusions 50 are arranged on the inner circumference of the inner tube 40 so as to form a group, and each group is formed along the advancing direction of the main material. They are arranged alternately. Therefore, the main and auxiliary materials are more advantageous to be mixed and homogenized by being bumped into the homogenizing protrusion 50 and split.

Looking at the operation of the mixing and homogenizing device of the material having such a configuration as follows.

First, the main material selected for mixing and homogenizing is introduced into the main inlet 10a of the outer tube 10. The introduced main material flows along the outer tube 10 and the flow velocity of the main material is increased from the inclined portion 20a.

The main material passing through the inclined portion 20a is dispersed in the egg direction while passing through the respective direction dispersion holes 30a and 30b of the rotating member 30 mounted on the flat portion 20b, and then the inner tube 40. Headed to. The main material reaching the inner tube 40 hits the plurality of homogenizing protrusions 50 provided inside the inner tube 40 and is broken into particles of a minimum unit to start homogenizing.

At the same time, the auxiliary material to be mixed with the main material is introduced into the auxiliary inlet portion 10b of the outer tube 10. When the auxiliary material is introduced into the auxiliary inlet part 10b, firstly, the auxiliary material is shrouded in the chamber S between the outer tube 10 and the inner tube 40, and then a plurality of inlet holes formed at the side surface of the inner tube 40. Head to 40a.

Then, it flows into the inner tube 40 along the communication hole 50c of the homogenizing protrusion 50 which is in communication with the inlet hole 40a. At this time, since the main material has already flowed faster in the inner tube 40, the auxiliary material is easier and faster due to the flow rate of the main material, and thus the inlet hole 40a and the homogenizing protrusion 50 of the inner tube 40 are faster and easier. Through the communication hole (50c) of the inner tube 40 is attracted.

The auxiliary material attracted into the inner tube 40 is easily mixed with the main material dispersed by the rotating member 30 and homogenized by the homogenizing protrusion 50, and then moved, while the homogenizing protrusion 50 is moved. It is discharged to the discharge portion 40b while hitting and remixing and re-homogenizing.

Therefore, the efficiency of homogenizing two different materials of two different materials or mixing two types of materials can be improved.

Second embodiment

According to the first embodiment described above, it can be seen that the material mixing and homogenizing apparatus consists of an outer tube 10, an inner tube 40, a rotating member 30, and a homogenizing protrusion 50.

However, even if the inner tube 40 and the homogenizing protrusion 50 are not provided, the main and auxiliary materials may be homogenized only by the rotating member 30. Of course, if the same as Figure 5, the efficiency may be lower than the first embodiment, the embodiment of Figure 5 will also be within the scope of the invention.

Reference numerals shown in FIG. 5 are given the same as in the first embodiment, and description thereof will be replaced with the first embodiment.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the above-described embodiment, the auxiliary material also uses a liquid substance, so that only two different substances are mixed and homogenized in the inner tube.

However, if the non-liquid air is supplied as the auxiliary material, fine bubbles are generated in the process of introducing air into the inner tube through the plurality of inlet holes formed in the side of the inner tube and the communication hole of the homogenizing protrusion. In this case, since a large number of micro bubbles can be formed inside the main material, it is possible to fully play a role in homogenizing one type of material.

Referring to the drawings of the above-described embodiment, the homogenizing protrusions are arranged at equal angle intervals, it is also possible to arrange the homogenizing protrusions without a constant direction unlike the drawing.

In the above-described embodiment is manufactured by separating the outer tube for mounting the internal configuration, unlike the drawing may be formed integrally with the outer tube.

In the above embodiment, the inclined portion and the flat portion are formed in the outer tube, but they are not necessarily formed.

As described above, according to the present invention, an apparatus for mixing and homogenizing a material is provided so that the efficiency of homogenizing any one type of material or mixing two types of materials can be improved.
