(First embodiment)

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, with reference to drawings, embodiment of this invention is described in detail. FIG. 1: is front sectional drawing (schematic diagram) which shows the example of the stirring and defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 2 is the perspective view (schematic diagram) which expanded the one part. In addition, in the whole figure for demonstrating each embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member which has the same function, and the repetitive description may be abbreviate | omitted. In addition, the illustration of some bolt and nut is abbreviate | omitted for the simplification of drawing.

The stirring and defoaming apparatus 1 includes a means for rotating the container and a means for revolving the container, and includes a switching means for rotating and revolving the container and only revolving the container. It is an apparatus for performing at least one of stirring and defoaming of the single material and mixed material accommodated in the said container (it describes only "stirring and defoaming" hereafter). Moreover, it is a matter of course that the container can be used as a centrifugal separator for the mixed material by only revolving the container.

As shown in FIG. 1, the stirring / defoaming device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of containers 2 capable of accommodating various materials to be stirred and degassed, and a plurality of supporting the plurality of containers 2, respectively. The revolving member 12, the revolving member 12 for revolving the receptacle holder 11, the circular member 13 provided with the revolving rotation and non-rotation coaxially with the revolving member 12, and the revolving member Drive means (motor in this embodiment) 3 which drives rotation 12 is provided, and the control part (not shown) which controls these is provided.

In this embodiment, the container holder 11 and the container 2 supported by the container holder 11, the revolving member 12, and the circular member 13 are disposed inside the case 20. In addition, as a structural material, a general structural material (metal material, resin material) is used, and although it is not specifically limited (same with respect to another structure), it is suitable to use duralumin etc. for a strength member.

Here, the container holder 11 has an annular contact portion 11a on the outer circumference thereof, is fixed to the revolving member 12 via a bearing 34 so as to be rotatable, and the contact portion 11a is a circular member ( It is arrange | positioned so that it may contact with the outer peripheral part of 13) (here rail part 13b). Moreover, the friction material is arrange | positioned at the contact part 11a. For example, as the friction material, an O ring 31 made of a rubber material (as an example, silicone rubber having a hardness of 50 is suitable) is used. Or you may arrange | position a friction material to the rail part 13b.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the four container holder 11 is provided and it is set as the structure which can support four containers 2, it is not limited to this.

According to the above configuration, when the circular member 13 is switched to a state in which rotation is impossible, when the revolving member 12 revolves, the contact portion 11a of the container holder 11 and the circular member 13 ( The container holder 11 rotates by the friction force between the rail parts 13b. Therefore, the container holder 11 and the container 2 supported by the container holder 11 revolve and rotate.

On the other hand, when the circular member 13 is switched to the rotatable state, when the revolving member 12 revolves, the contact portion 11a of the container holder 11 and the rail portion 13b of the circular member 13 are rotated. The circular member 13 rotates with the rotation of the revolving member by the frictional force between). Therefore, the container holder 11 and the container 2 supported by the container holder 11 can achieve the effect of only revolving without rotating. However, if the frictional resistance of the bearing 33 which supports the circular member 13 becomes excessive, it may be considered that the rotation of the container holder 11 may occur.

In this way, it is possible to realize the means for rotating the container, the means for rotating the container, and the means for rotating the container and switching between the revolution and the revolution with an extremely simple structure. In addition, by appropriately rotating the container and switching between the revolution and the revolution, effective stirring and defoaming by a rotation method suitable for the material in the container can be achieved. In addition, the switching means which switches so that the circular member 13 may be in a rotatable state and a rotatable state is mentioned later.

Moreover, the stirring and degassing apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment is equipped with the vacuum pump 6 which makes the inside of the case 20 into a vacuum. The vacuum degree by the said vacuum pump 6 can be set suitably, As an example, the inside of the case 20 will be in the vacuum state of atmospheric pressure-about 10 [Pa].

According to this, by making the inside of the case 20 into a vacuum and performing stirring and degassing | defoaming, it becomes possible to further improve the defoaming effect | action.

Here, as shown in Fig. 3, the container 2 has a bottomed cylindrical body portion 2A having an opening 2a formed thereon, a lid 2B fitted to the opening 2a, and It is comprised with the outer cover 2C spiral-coupled to the opening part 2a from the outer side. 3 shows the main body part 2A, the inner lid 2B, and the outer lid 2C as separated.

The material used as the object to stir-deflate is put into the main-body part 2A from the opening part 2a in the state which scraped out the lid 2B and the outer cover 2C, and is then put into the main-body part 2A. The inner cover 2B and the outer cover 2C are fitted and spirally engaged.

In addition, although the vent holes 2b and 2c are provided in the cover 2B and the cover 2C, respectively, in this embodiment, you may make it the structure which abbreviate | omits the vent holes 2b and 2c suitably. . In addition, the cover 2B and the cover 2C may be appropriately omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, the container 2 is penetrated into the opening part of the container holder 11 in which the upper part was formed in the cup shape from the bottom surface side, and is penetrated. Is supported. In that case, the projection 2d (two places in this embodiment) provided in the outer peripheral part of 2 A of main-body parts of the container 2 is engaged with the groove 11b provided in the container holder 11. As shown in FIG.

According to this, when the container holder 11 rotates (rotates), the container 2 is prevented from rotating in the circumferential direction with respect to the container holder 11, and the rotational force of the container holder 11 is applied to the container 2. It is transmitted and the effect | action which rotates (rotates) the said container 2 can be acquired.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the container 2 and the container holder 11 are formed separately, it is also possible to set it as the structure formed integrally.

Here, the modification of the container 2 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the container 2 is formed in the shape which has the some convex-shaped part 2g in the inner wall surface 2e. According to this, since the convex part 2g becomes a resistance and the stirring of material is accelerated | stimulated, when rotating the container 2 in which the material was accommodated, it becomes possible to further improve a stirring action.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the case 20 is comprised with the main body part 21 and the cover part 22 arrange | positioned at the upper part of the said main body part 21, and is comprised. In addition, the lid portion 22 is fixed to the main body portion 21 so as to be openable and closed by using the hinge 25, and is formed in a structure that can be in close contact with the main body portion 21, whereby the inside of the case 20 can be sealed. It is formed in the structure that becomes.

According to this, opening and closing of the lid part 22 enables attachment and detachment of the container 2 to the container holder 11. On the other hand, by closing the lid part 22, the inside of the case 20 can be made into a vacuum state, and in that state, the container 2 rotates, revolves, or revolves, and stirring and defoaming of the material in the container 2 are carried out. It becomes possible to do this. As an example, the lid part 22 is formed using a transparent resin material.

As shown in FIG. 1, the revolving member 12 has a rotating shaft 12a that penetrates the main body portion 21 of the case 20, and the rotating shaft 12a is rotatable in the circumferential direction and the case. It is fixed to the main body 21 of the case 20 via the bearing (in this embodiment, the magnetic fluid bearing) 32 which enables vacuum holding in the 20. Here, the structure of the revolving member 12 is considered to be a disk shape, an arm shape, or a combination thereof.

In addition, the rotation shaft 12a and the rotation shaft 3a of the motor 3 are connected via a driving force transmission means. In addition, in this embodiment, although it is comprised using the 1st pulley 4a, the 2nd pulley 4b, and the belt 5 as a driving force transmission means, it is not limited to this, It comprises a gear etc. You may also do it.

According to this, when the motor 3 operates, the rotational driving force is transmitted to the rotating shaft 12a via the driving force transmission means, and when the rotating shaft 12a rotates, the revolving member 12 rotates in a circumferential direction with this. . Therefore, the container holder 11 fixed to the revolving member 12 and the container 2 supported by the container holder 11 revolve around a fixed track in the same plane whose central axis of the rotation axis 12a is the rotation center. (Orbit). The idle speed (rotational speed) at that time is suitably set according to a material.

As shown in FIG. 5, the circular member 13 has a disk-shaped base 13a, and the outer peripheral part (outer peripheral surface) of the base 13a is comprised as the annular rail part 13b. In addition, in this embodiment, although the base 13a is formed in disk shape, it is not limited to this, For example, it forms by a center cylinder (cylindrical) part and a radial spoke part, and has an annular shape in the outer peripheral position. The rail portion 13b may be provided (such as not shown).

As mentioned above, the contact part 11a of the container holder 11 and the rail part 13b of the circular member 13 which are in a non-rotating state contact, and the frictional force of the container holder 11 rotates. Is obtained. In that case, if the container 2 is supported and rotated in the state which inclined at the predetermined angle, the stirring and defoaming effect can be improved. Therefore, in this embodiment, the container holder 11 which supports the container 2 is being fixed to the revolving member 12 so that rotation is possible in the state which inclined predetermined angle with respect to the revolving track surface. In connection with this, the rail part 13b of the circular member 13 which abuts on the contact part 11a of the container holder 11 becomes the inclined surface of the same or approximately the same angle as the inclination angle of the container holder in the abutting position. That is, the base 13a of the circular member 13 has a trapezoidal cross section as shown in FIG.

In addition, in this embodiment, the full length (namely, circumferential length) of the rail part 13b in the circular member 13 is the full length (namely, the annular contact part 11a in the container holder 11). It is formed so that it becomes longer than the circumferential length).

According to this, it becomes possible to speed up a rotation speed (rotation speed [rpm]) with respect to a revolution speed (rotation speed [rpm]), and can improve agitation ability.

As an example, the full length of the rail portion 13b is set to twice the full length of the contact portion 11a of the container holder 11. Therefore, when the revolution speed is set to 800 [rpm], the rotation speed is set to 1600 [rpm] in response to the ratio of the entire length of the rail portion 13b to the entire length of the contact portion 11a (here 2: 1). Will be.

In this way, it is not necessary to drive control the idle speed and the rotate speed separately, so that the rotation drive mechanism and the control mechanism can be made extremely simple. This makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost and is also suitable from the viewpoint of reducing the failure occurrence rate.

In addition, in this embodiment, the contact part 11a of the container holder 11 which contacts the circular member 13 (rail part 13b) is provided in the lower position (near the lowest position) of the said container holder 11. We do with configuration to say.

According to this, the circular member 13 can be largely hardened without enlarging the whole apparatus. Therefore, since the whole length of the rail part 13b can be formed long, it becomes possible to speed up the rotation speed of the container holder 11, and can improve agitation ability.

The circular member 13 is provided with an engaging groove 13d that can be engaged with the engaging pin 14c of the tip of the stopper 14 described later. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the engaging groove 13d is formed in the slitting shape in the upper end part of the shaft part 13c which enters in the center part of the base 13a. . The engagement groove 13d is formed in the shape of an elongated groove extending in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the shaft portion 13c. And the axial direction of the axial part 13c is a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 12a of the revolving member 12, and is a direction parallel to the slide movement direction of the stopper 14 mentioned later.

In addition, the engagement structure of the circular member 13 and the engagement pin 14c of the stopper 14 is not limited to the above, but instead of the slitting-shaped engagement groove 13d, the upper end of the shaft portion 13c. The same effect can be obtained also by the structure which forms the projection part which entered in the axial direction in this way, and engages with the engagement pin 14c (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 1, the circular member 13 is supported by the revolving member 12 (here, the rotating shaft 12a) via the bearing 33. As shown in FIG. By this structure, the circular member 13 can be rotated coaxially with the revolving member 12, that is, by the same rotation center axis.

Here, as a characteristic feature of the stirring / defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, the switching means which switches so that the circular member 13 may become the state which can be rotated with respect to the case 20, and a state which cannot be rotated is provided. . The switching means is provided with a stopper 14.

As shown in FIG. 1, the stopper 14 is provided to be slidable by inserting the case 20, and is capable of switching engagement and non-engagement with respect to the circular member 13 by the slide movement. (Details will be described later.)

According to this, when the stopper 14 is in the engaged state with respect to the circular member 13, the circular member 13 becomes in a non-rotatable state with respect to the case 20, and when the stopper 14 is in the non-engaged state, the circular member ( It is possible to obtain the action that 13) becomes rotatable with respect to the case 20.

In this way, the circular member 13 can be switched between the rotatable state and the non-rotatable state with respect to the case 20, and as described above, the container holder 11 (and the container 2). Can be rotated and rotated, and can be switched to idle.

More specifically, the stopper 14 is a main body of a cylindrical shape (cylindrical shape) through which the case 20 (here, the lid part 22) can be inserted, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 6. It is provided in the front end of the part 14a, the handle part 14b provided in the rear end of the main-body part 14a which becomes the outer side of the case 20, and the main-body part 14a which becomes the inner side of the case 20. It is comprised with the engagement pin 14c which becomes. Here, the engagement pin 14c is a shape which protrudes in the direction orthogonal to the slide direction of the stopper 14 (it is only necessary to have the orthogonal direction component, and is not limited only when the angle which comprises is 90 degree), and a circular member ( It is formed in the shape which can be engaged in 13 d of engagement grooves of 13).

In addition, the main body part 14a, the handle part 14b, and the engagement pin 14c may be formed separately as in this embodiment, or may be formed integrally.

Since the stopper 14 is formed in the circumferential shape of the main body portion 14a supported by the lid portion 22 of the case 20, the stopper 14 can obtain an action that can be rotated in a plane perpendicular to the slide direction. .

Moreover, the fitting hole 14d which penetrates in the direction parallel to a slide direction is provided in the handle part 14b of the stopper 14. As shown in FIG. The fitting hole 14d is formed in the case 20 so that the fitting protrusion 23 can be fitted to the outside of the case 20.

According to this, when the fitting protrusion 23 of the case 20 and 14 d of fitting holes of the handle part 14b of the stopper 14 are fitted, the stopper 14 orthogonally crosses a slide direction. The effect | action fixed by the case 20 can be acquired so that it may not rotate in surface. Moreover, by this, the circular member 13 engaged with the stopper 14 is fixed to the case 20 via the stopper 14, and the effect which becomes impossible to rotate can be acquired.

Here, each partial dimension which determines the positional relationship of the stopper 14 and the circular member 13 is demonstrated using FIGS. 7A-7C.

FIG. 7A is a state where the stopper 14 is pulled up to a position where the stopper 14 is not engaged with or engaged with any of the engaging groove 13d and the fitting protrusion 23. At this time, the airtight guide 24 Although the stopper 14 is supported by the frictional resistance with the O-ring so as not to fall, for example, a spacer (not shown) fixed to prevent the stopper 14 from falling at the position is provided with a handle portion 14b and a case ( 20 may be provided between (or airtight guide 24).

Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the stopper 14 slides a predetermined amount in the inward direction of the case 20, so that the fitting protrusion 23 of the case 20 and the handle portion of the stopper 14 ( The case 20 and the stopper 14 so that the engagement pin 14c of the stopper 14 can enter the inlet of the engaging groove 13d of the circular member 13 while the 14b) is separated. , And the partial dimensions of the circular member 13 are set and configured.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, the stopper 14 further slides the predetermined amount in the inward direction of the case 20, so that the fitting protrusion 23 of the case 20 and the handle portion of the stopper 14 are moved. In the state where the fitting hole 14d of 14b is fitted, the case 20 is made so that the engagement pin 14c of the stopper 14 can enter the inside of the engagement groove 13d of the circular member 13. And the respective dimensions of the stopper 14 and the circular member 13 are set.

According to the above structure, the circular member 13 can be switched from the rotatable state to the non-rotatable state irrespective of the stop position of the circular member 13.

More specifically, first, the engagement pin 14c of the stopper 14 is circular member 13 by pulling up the handle portion 14b and sliding the stopper 14 outward of the case 20. It is assumed that the circular member 13 is in a rotatable state, that is, not engaged with the engagement groove 13d of () (see FIG. 7A).

In that state, since the handle part 14b can be rotated freely, regardless of the stop position of the circular member 13, the engaging pin 14c of the stopper 14 and the engaging groove 13d of the circular member 13 are made. The position alignment in the circumferential direction can be performed so that)) can be engaged. At the circumferential position, the handle part 14b is pressed down and the stopper 14 is slid inwardly of the case 20 so that the engagement pin 14c enters the inlet of the engaging groove 13d of the circular member 13. The slide movement is stopped in the state where it entered the part (see Fig. 7B). As a result, the engaging pin 14c and the engaging groove 13d engage with each other, and the fitting hole 14d of the handle portion 14b and the fitting protrusion 23 of the case 20 do not fit. Therefore, when the handle 14b is rotated in this state, the circular member 13 can be manually rotated arbitrarily.

Moreover, by rotating the handle part 14b (rotating the circular member 13 also) in that state, the fitting hole 14d of the handle part 14b and the fitting protrusion 23 of the case 20 are formed. The aligning of the circumferential direction can be performed so that it may become a fitting position. At the said circumferential position, the handle part 14b is pressed down and the stopper 14 slides in the inward direction of the case 20 (refer FIG. 7C). Thereby, the fitting hole 14d of the handle part 14b and the fitting protrusion 23 of the case 20 can be fitted (the circular member 13 is in a non-rotating state). At this time, the length (depth) of the engaging groove 13d is long (deep) so that the engaging pin 14 can enter without contacting the innermost of the engaging groove 13d of the circular member 13. You need to set it up.

As described above, according to the stirring / defoaming device 1 according to the present embodiment, the circular member 13 can be switched from the rotatable state to the non-rotational state regardless of the stop position of the circular member 13. . In other words, the extremely simple mechanism achieves a remarkable effect of enabling the switching between the rotation and the revolution and only the revolution, and also making the stop position control of the circular member 13 unnecessary. In all, it contributes greatly to reduction of manufacturing cost and reduction of a failure occurrence rate.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the lid part 22 is formed using the transparent resin material, the stopper (with the cover part 22 closed, ie, maintaining the inside of the case 20 in a vacuum state), While the position of the engagement pin 14c of the distal end of 14) can be visually recognized, the stopper 14 can be moved and rotated while visually confirming the same position.

Here, in this embodiment, the stopper 14 is fixed to the lid part 22 so that sliding movement is possible through the airtight holding guide 24. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, the airtight holding guide 24 is provided by being fixed to the cover part 22, and has the cylindrical part which the main-body part 14a of the stopper 14 can insert, and the said cylindrical part Inside, the rubber O-ring which made it possible to slide while keeping airtight in the sliding contact part (two top and bottom in this embodiment) with the main-body part 14a is arrange | positioned.

This makes it possible to slide the stopper 14 with respect to the case 20 while maintaining the vacuum in the case 20. That is, it becomes possible to rotate and rotate only the revolution of the container holder 11 (and the container 2), and to maintain only the vacuum in the case 20.

Moreover, the stirring / defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment is provided with the operation panel (not shown) which sets rotation (idle) speed, rotation time, vacuum pressure, etc., and instructs a control part (not shown) from this operation panel. By lowering the pressure, the rotational speed of the revolving member 12, the rotation time, the pressure in the case 20 to be vacuumed by the vacuum pump 6, and the like are controlled.

In addition, as described above, in response to the rotational speed of the revolving member 12, the rotational speed of the container 2 is also automatically set, so that a complicated control mechanism is unnecessary, and a reduction in manufacturing cost is achieved.

(Second Embodiment)

Next, the stirring / defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. Although the stirring and defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment is the same in basic structure as 1st Embodiment mentioned above, it has a difference in the site | part which generates a vacuum, a mechanism, etc. especially. 8 shows an example of the stirring / defoaming device 1 according to the second embodiment.

In 1st Embodiment mentioned above, it was the structure which made the whole inside the case 20 in which the some container 2 is accommodated into a vacuum. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the inside of each container holder 11 in which each container 2 was supported was formed in the structure which can be sealed, and it is set as the structure which can make the inside of the said container holder 11 into a vacuum. .

More specifically, the air line 41 in which one end communicates with the inside of the container holder 11, the other end communicates with the vacuum pump 6 via the rotary joint 40, and is rotatable with the revolving member 12. Is provided. In addition, the container holder 11 is supported with respect to the revolving member 12 by bearings 35 and 36, and a magnetic fluid bearing is used as the bearing 35. Thereby, the inside of the container holder 11, ie, the inside of the container 2, can be made into a vacuum state.

Here, in this embodiment, the air line 41 is provided through the position of the rotating shaft (center part of the container holder 11) which the container holder 11 rotates (rotates) with respect to the revolving member 12. As shown in FIG.

According to this structure, the structure which does not provide an air line in the upper part of the container holder 11 can be implement | achieved, and the structure which arrange | positions the stopper 14 above the central axis of the revolving member 12 and the circular member 13 by this. Can be realized.

In addition, in this embodiment, since it is not necessary to seal the inside of the case 20, it is not necessary to provide the cover part 22 and the airtight holding guide 24 similar to 1st Embodiment mentioned above. As an example, the beam member 26 is provided in the upper part of the case 20, and the stopper 14 is fixed to the said beam member 26 so that a slide movement and rotation are possible. For example, the structure which provides the through-hole through which the stopper 14 is inserted in the beam member 26 is considered (refer FIG. 8). In addition, the shape and effect | action of the fitting protrusion 23, the stopper 14, and the circular member 13 are the same as that of 1st Embodiment mentioned above (refer FIG. 5 thru | or 7).

According to the above structure, only the inside of each container holder 11, not the whole inside of the case 20, needs to be made into a vacuum state, so that a large case having a high strength capable of withstanding vacuum pressure is not required, and a vacuum pump is required. (6) is small and low output, and can reduce the device cost and the device weight. Therefore, it can be said that it is a structure suitable especially when the container 2 is enlarged. As in the first embodiment described above, it goes without saying that the inside of the container 2 is vacuumed and stirred and degassed to further increase the defoaming effect of the material.

In addition, although the basic structure of the container 2 in this embodiment is the same as that of 1st Embodiment mentioned above, it is easy to receive and take out in the inside of the container holder 11 (refer FIG. 8) of a sealable shape. In order to do so, there is no protrusion on the outer circumference, and the upper part of the container 2 (the upper part of the main body part 2A, the inner lid 2B, and the outer lid 2C) is formed with a smaller diameter than the center part and the lower part (see Fig. 9). ). Reference numeral 2f is a rotation stop provided on the bottom surface of the main assembly 2A, and serves to transmit the rotational force of the container holder 11 to the container 2.

Moreover, the modification of the container 2 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the container 2 is formed in the shape which has one or more (four in this embodiment) convex part 2g in the inner wall surface 2e. According to this, when the container 2 in which the material is accommodated is rotated, the convex portion 2g becomes a resistance, so that stirring of the material is promoted. The convex part 2g in this embodiment is formed in the elongate protrusion shape extended in the up-down direction of the inner wall surface 2e. Further, since the convex portion 2g appears as a concave portion when viewed from the outer wall surface side, the concave portion also has an effect of acting as an air flow path when vacuum is sucked.

(Third embodiment)

Then, the stirring / defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on 3rd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. Although the basic structure is the same as that of 2nd Embodiment mentioned above, the stirring and defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on 3rd Embodiment differs especially in providing the intermediate roller 51 (it mentions later in detail). EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, with reference to drawings, this embodiment is described in detail centering on the said difference. In addition, since the structure of the revolving member 12 and the stopper 14 is the same as that of 2nd Embodiment mentioned above, repeated description is abbreviate | omitted.

FIG. 11: is front sectional drawing (schematic diagram) which shows the example of the stirring and defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on 3rd Embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 12 is the perspective view (schematic diagram) which expanded the one part. For the sake of simplicity, some bolts and nuts are not shown.

The stirring / defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment is equipped with the intermediate roller 51 as a characteristic structure. As shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, the intermediate roller 51 is supported by the revolving member 12 so that rotation is possible, and is adjacent to each (four in this embodiment) container holder 11 in multiple numbers. (4 pieces in this embodiment) are provided. Here, the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 is arrange | positioned so that the outer peripheral part of the circular member 13 may contact, and the outer peripheral part of each container holder 11 adjoins correspondingly to the said container holder 11, It is arrange | positioned so that the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 may contact.

In this embodiment, the contact of the outer peripheral part of the intermediate roller 51 and the outer peripheral part of the circular member 13 is the rail part 13b provided in the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 and the outer peripheral part of the circular member 13. (Here, O-ring 30) by surface contact. In addition, the contact between the outer circumferential portion of the intermediate roller 51 and the outer circumferential portion of the container holder 11 is provided at the contact portion 11a (here, the contact between the outer circumferential portion of the intermediate roller 51). It is performed by surface contact with O-ring 31).

As shown in FIG. 11, 12, 13, the intermediate roller 51 which concerns on this embodiment is the support part 51c fixed on the revolving member 12, and the said support part 51c via the bearing 52. As shown in FIG. It is comprised by providing the disk-shaped base 51a rotatably supported by this. Here, the outer peripheral surface in the radial direction of the base 51a is configured as the outer peripheral portion 51b in contact with the contact portion 11a of the container holder 11 and the rail portion 13b of the circular member 13 (here, surface contact). have.

Although the stirring and defoaming effect is raised, in this embodiment, the container holder 11 which supports the container 2 is fixed to the revolving member 12 so that rotation is possible in the state which inclined predetermined angle with respect to the revolving track surface. . In connection with this, the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 which abuts on the contact part 11a of the container holder 11 becomes the inclined surface of the same or almost the same angle as the inclination angle of the container holder in the abutting position. That is, the base 51a of the intermediate roller 51 has a trapezoidal cross section as shown in FIG.

Here, the friction material is disposed in the contact portion 11a of the container holder 11. For example, an O-ring 31 made of a rubber material is used as the friction material. Or as a modification, you may arrange | position a friction material to the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 (illustration omitted).

As shown in FIG. 14, the circular member 13 has a disk-shaped base 13a, and the outer peripheral part (outer peripheral surface) of the base 13a is comprised as the annular rail part 13b. In addition, similarly to the above, base 13a is not limited to disk shape.

In this embodiment, the base 13a of the circular member 13 and the base 51a of the intermediate roller 51 are arrange | positioned so that it may rotate in the same plane. Therefore, it is formed so that the inclined surface of the rail part 13b of the circular member 13 and the inclined surface of the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 may become parallel in abutting position. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the base 51a of the intermediate roller 51 has a trapezoidal cross section.

Here, unlike the above-described embodiment, the friction material is disposed in the rail portion 13b of the circular member 13. For example, an O ring 30 made of a rubber material is used as the friction material. Or as a modification, you may arrange | position a friction material to the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 (illustration omitted).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the circular member 13 is supported by the revolving member 12 (here, the rotating shaft 12a) through the bearing 33. As shown in FIG. By this structure, the circular member 13 can be rotated coaxially with the revolving member 12, that is, by the same rotation center axis.

In addition, in this embodiment, the full length (namely, circumferential length) of the rail part 13b in the circular member 13, and the full length (namely, the annular contact part 11a in the container holder 11). Ratio with the circumferential length) is set to 1: 1. At this time, the revolution speed (rotation speed [rpm]) of the container 11 and the rotation speed (rotation speed [rpm]) of the container 11 become equal. However, it is not limited to the setting of 1: 1.

In addition, in this embodiment, the structure which arrange | positions the contact part 11a of the container holder 11 which contact | connects the outer peripheral part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 in the lower position (near the lowest position) of the said container holder 11 is also provided. I am doing it.

According to this, the circular member 13 which abuts on the container holder 11 through the intermediate roller 51 can be largely hardened, without enlarging the whole apparatus. Therefore, since the whole length of the rail part 13b can be formed long, it becomes possible to speed up the rotation speed of the container holder 11, and can improve agitation ability.

According to the above-described configuration, when the circular member 13 is switched to the non-rotational state by the switching means configured to include the stopper 14, the non-rotating state is applied when the idler member 12 revolves. The intermediate roller 51 rotates in the same direction as the rotational direction of the revolving member 12 by the force (here, frictional force due to surface contact) received from the circular member 13 (rail portion 13b). In connection with this, the container holder 11 (and the container 2) are reversed from the rotational direction of the revolving member 12 by the force received from the intermediate roller 51 in the rotating state (here, frictional force due to surface contact). By rotating the revolving member 12, the container holder 11 (and the container 2) revolves around the rotational shaft 12a.

On the other hand, when the circular member 13 is switched to the rotatable state by the switching means, when the idler member 12 revolves, the circular member 13 rotates with the idler member 12 that rotates. Therefore, the intermediate roller 51 does not rotate, and the container holder 11 does not rotate. Therefore, the container holder 11 and the container 2 supported by the container holder 11 can achieve the effect of only revolving without rotating.

As in the first and second embodiments, it is possible to realize a means for rotating the container 2, a means for revolving the container 2, and a means for rotating and rotating the revolution of the container 2 with a very simple structure. Become. In addition, by appropriately performing the rotation of the container 2 and the switching between the revolution and the revolution, effective stirring and defoaming by a rotation method suitable for the material in the container 2 is enabled.

On the other hand, unlike the first and second embodiments, the revolving direction of the revolving member 12, that is, the revolving direction of the container holder 11 and the container 2 supported by the container holder 11, and the container holder ( 11) and the rotation direction of the container 2 supported by the said container holder 11 can be reversed. As a result, the stirring effect of the material in the container 2 can be improved significantly compared with the case where the revolving direction and the rotating direction of the container holder 11 (the container 2) are the same direction. In addition, this effect is demonstrated as a result of the comparative experiment using high viscosity stirring materials, such as grease.

Since the other effects played by the stirring-defoaming device 1 according to the present embodiment are the same as those described in the first and second embodiments, the repeated description is omitted, but in particular, the same as in the above-described embodiment. Irrespective of the stop position of the circular member 13, the circular member 13 can be switched from the rotatable state to the non-rotatable state using the switching means. That is, the extremely simple mechanism achieves a remarkable effect of enabling rotation and revolving and switching between revolving only and eliminating the stop position control of the circular member 13.

(Fourth Embodiment)

Next, the stirring / defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on 4th Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

As shown in FIG. 15, the intermediate roller 51 is supported by the revolving member 12 so that rotation is possible, and it is adjacent to each (four in this embodiment) container holder 11 (this embodiment) In form, four) are provided. Here, the intermediate roller 51 is disposed so that the outer circumferential portion of the intermediate roller 51 abuts against the outer circumferential portion of the circular member 13, and the outer circumferential portion of each container holder 11 is adjacent to the container holder 11. It is arrange | positioned so that it may contact with the outer peripheral part of 51).

In the present embodiment, the contact between the outer circumferential portion of the intermediate roller 51 and the outer circumferential portion of the circular member 13 is a gear (first gear 51A to be described later) and a circular member (provided in the outer circumferential portion of the intermediate roller 51). It engages with the gear (third gear 13A mentioned later) provided in the outer peripheral part of 13). In addition, the contact between the outer circumferential portion of the intermediate roller 51 and the outer circumferential portion of the container holder 11 is performed by the gears (second gear 51B to be described later) and the container holder 11 provided on the outer circumferential portion of the intermediate roller 51. It is performed by engaging with the gear (the 4th gear 11A mentioned later) provided in the outer peripheral part.

The schematic structure of the intermediate roller 51 which concerns on this embodiment is shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the intermediate roller 51 is provided with two teeth (first gear 51A, second gear 51B) on the outer circumference thereof, different from the above-described third embodiment. have. The first gear 51A and the second gear 51B are coaxially rotatably supported by the support part 51c which is disposed in parallel with and connected to the axis direction of the rotation axis, and is fixed on the revolving member 12. (See Fig. 15).

Further, as a modification, a configuration in which the first gear and the second gear as described above are provided as one tooth and is shared (not shown) is also possible.

Next, the schematic structure of the circular member 13 which concerns on this embodiment is shown in FIG. As shown to FIG. 15, 17, the circular member 13 is provided with the 3rd gear 13A in the outer peripheral part (in this embodiment, the outer peripheral part of the base 13a). The third gear 13A of the circular member 13 and the first gear 51A of the intermediate roller 51 are disposed so as to mesh with each other, and the rotational force is transmitted between the circular member 13 and the intermediate roller 51. This becomes possible (refer FIG. 15).

Next, the schematic structure of the container holder 11 which concerns on this embodiment is shown in FIG. As shown to FIG. 15, 18, the container holder 11 is provided with 11 A of 4th gears on the outer peripheral part. 11 A of 4th gears of the said container holder 11, and the 2nd gear 51B of the intermediate roller 51 are arrange | positioned so that it may engage, and the rotational force is transmitted between the container holder 11 and the intermediate roller 51. FIG. This becomes possible (refer FIG. 15).

Each gear (1st gear 51A, 2nd gear 51B, 3rd gear 13A, and 4th gear 11A) in this embodiment uses the metal material or resin material which is a general structural material. Is formed.

In addition, in this embodiment, the bevel tooth is employ | adopted as 11 A of 2nd gear 51B and the 4th gear. However, it is not limited to bevel tooth difference.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first gear 51A is formed to a smaller diameter than the second gear 51B. According to this, the rotation speed of the container holder 11 corresponding to the revolution speed (rotation speed [rpm]) of the revolving member 12 is compared with the structure provided with the 1st gear and the 2nd gear as one tooth, and shared. It is possible to speed up (rotational speed [rpm]) and to improve stirring ability.

Moreover, as a modified example (not shown) of this embodiment, the outer peripheral part of the intermediate roller 51 and the outer peripheral part of the circular member 13 contact | abut, or the outer peripheral part of the intermediate roller 51, and the container holder 11 of The structure which employ | adopts the contact structure (contact structure by surface contact) in 3rd Embodiment mentioned above to one of the contact with an outer peripheral part is considered. For example, instead of the 2nd gear 51B of the intermediate roller 51 in this embodiment, the contact part 51b of the intermediate roller 51 in 3rd embodiment is employ | adopted, and this embodiment It is the structure etc. which employ | adopt the contact part 11a of the container holder 11 in 3rd Embodiment instead of the 4th gear 11A of the container holder 11 in FIG.

According to the above-described configuration, when the circular member 13 is switched to the non-rotational state by the switching means configured to include the stopper 14, the non-rotating state is applied when the idler member 12 revolves. The intermediate roller 51 rotates in the same direction as the rotational direction of the revolving member 12 by the force received from the circular member 13 (the third gear 13A) (here, the rotational transmission force by the engagement of the gear). In connection with this, the container holder 11 (and the container 2) rotates in the rotational direction of the revolving member 12 by the force received from the intermediate roller 51 in the rotating state (here, the rotational transmission force by the engagement of the gear). It rotates in the reverse direction, and by the revolving of the revolving member 12, the said container holder 11 (and the container 2) can obtain the effect | action which revolves around the rotating shaft 12a.

On the other hand, when the circular member 13 is switched to the rotatable state by the switching means, when the idler member 12 revolves, the circular member 13 rotates with the idler member 12 that rotates. Therefore, the intermediate roller 51 does not rotate, and the container holder 11 does not rotate. Therefore, the container holder 11 and the container 2 supported by the container holder 11 can achieve an action of only revolving without rotating.

According to this embodiment, the same effects as in the above-described third embodiment can be obtained. Moreover, the stirring and defoaming apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment has the contact structure of the outer peripheral part of the intermediate roller 51, and the outer peripheral part of the circular member 13, or the outer peripheral part of the intermediate roller 51, and the container holder ( Since the contact structure by meshing gears is employ | adopted as the contact structure with the outer peripheral part of 11), the following effects can be acquired. That is, the slippage in the contact surface and the variation in the rotational speed due to the slip that may occur in the contact structure (contact structure by surface contact) in the stirring / defoaming device 1 according to the third embodiment are described. I can eliminate it. In addition, problems such as dropping or breaking of the friction material (for example, O-ring made of rubber) of the contact portion can be solved.

In particular, when the apparatus is large, that is, when the container 2 and the container holder 11 are large and the mass in the state in which the stirring material is placed is large (for example, the total mass in the container unit is several tens [kg] or more). In the case), the above effects become remarkable.
