MORTAR MIXING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING MORTAR FROM A
MORTAR BASE PRODUCT AND A LIQUID
The invention relates to mortar mixing system for preparing mortar from a mortar base product, e.g. a cement based mortar base product, and a liquid, e.g. water.
A mortar mixing system is e.g. known from US2001/0048636. This mortar mixing system has aframe in which a funnel-shaped tank and a mixer are arranged. The funnel-shaped tank supplies a mortar base product to the mixer, in which mixer the mortar base product is mixed with added water for a pre-determined amount of time at a pre-determined mixing intensity so as to prepare a batch mortar of a desired mixing quality. It is a disadvantage of this system that achieving said mixing quality is cumbersome and/or that the achieved mixing quality is insufficiently uniform.
It is object of the invention to provide an alternative mixing system. It is a further object of the invention to provide a mixing system that facilitates convenient and reliable preparation of a variety of mortars.
This object is achieved with a mortar mixing system according to the invention for preparing mortar from a mortar base product and a liquid, the mixing system comprising: - a mixing device comprising a mixer, a motor for driving the mixer, and a liquid supply assembly for supplying the liquid, the mixing device being adapted to execute a mixing protocol for mixing the mortar base product and the liquid, - an exchangeable container configured to contain or containing the mortar base product, which container is configured to be releasably coupled with the mixing device whilst containing the mortar based product, and wherein the container is further provided with a mortar base product identifier, wherein the mixing system is configured to supply the mortar base product from the container to the mixing device, - a control system configured to: o input, e.g. recognise, the mortar base product identifier, o determine the mixing protocol corresponding to the mortar base product that is identified by the recognised identifier, o control the mixing device to execute said mixing protocol.
CUGLA22001NL/PO -2-
Such a mixing protocol involves e.g. a mixing duration, a mixing intensity, and/or an amount of liquid that is to be added to the mortar base product and/or at what rate said liquid is to be added. The liquid may e.g. be water or water mixed with an additive, or first water is added and later one or more additives.
The mixing protocol may e.g. be stored in the control system and/or in the identifier.
The mixing system according to the invention facilitates convenient and reliable preparation of a variety of mortars from a variety of mortar base products. As, advantageously, the exchangeability of the container allows for the mixing system to comprise a plurality of exchangeable containers — which could each be configured to contain a different mortar base product - whilst the control system allows for assuring the desired mixing quality of the mortar that is to be prepared from any of the mortar base products.
Itis a further advantage that the exchangeable container is configured to be releasably coupled with the mixing device whilst containing the mortar based product. This allows for the container filled with said product to be transported , and for the exchangeable container to be (refilled both on-site and elsewhere, e.g. at the factory or a storage container distanced from the mixing device. This is particularly advantageous for refilling the container off-site at a quality controlled factory base.
The exchangeable container being releasably coupled with the mixing device further allows for the mixing device to remain on-site, whilst the container is being exchanged e.g. to be (refilled.
The exchangeable container may in embodiments even be exchanged whilst the mixing device is in operation on-site, e.g. when the mixing device is in the process of preparing a mortar.
The exchangeable container e.g. contains between 200 and 1500 kg, in particular between 600-1000kg of mortar base product. Such a container may be used to prepare multiple batches of mortar from the mortar base product, e.g. between 20L and 60L of prepared mortar per batch.
In an embodiment, the exchangeable container is moisture proof such that the mortar base product to be contained in the container may be prevented from undesirable absorbing of moisture. This is advantageous for the shelf life of the mortar base product and/or for the
CUGLA22001NL/PO -3- supply of mortar base product to the mixer as it prevents clumping of the mortar base product.
The control system is or may be configured to wirelessly recognise the mortar base product identifier and/or to wirelessly control the mixing device to execute the mixing protocol.
In an embodiment, the control system and/or identifier is wirelessly connected with a remote server and/or remote computer such that any data from said control system and/or identifier may be relayed to said remote server and/or remote computer. For example, data relating to the amount of mortar base product being contained in the exchangeable container. Said amount e.g. being determined from a weight measurement of a sensor in the container and/or the mixing device.
In coupling the exchangeable container with the mixing device, an outlet of the exchangeable container is connected with an inlet of the mixing device, e.g. an outlet opening in the container being aligned with an inlet opening in the mixing device.
The exchangeable container may be provided with a resealable filling opening, such as an opening being covered by a lid, for filling the container, e.g. from a storage container, or from a bag.
In an embodiment, the mortar base product identifier is reprogrammable. This allows for the same exchangeable container to be used for different types of mortar base product, e.g. when (re)filling the container.
In an embodiment, the mortar base product identifier is stored is an RFID tag, e.g. an NFC tag, and the control system has an RFID reader, e.g. an NFC reader, e.g. mounted on the mixing device. Such an NFC tag and NFC reader for example allows for relaying data from the tag to the reader and/or writing the data onto the tag or reader, and vice versa.
Alternatively, the identifier may e.g. be a tag, a barcode or a smart card, being coupled with and/or physically mounted in or on the exchangeable container. The control system being provided with a reader to read said identifier.
In an embodiment, the control system is configured to store multiple mixing protocols, and is configured to select the mixing protocol corresponding to the mortar base product that is identified by the identifier from the stored mixing protocols. Alternatively, or additionally, the identifier is configured to store one or more mixing protocols, and the control system is configured to read said mixing protocols.
CUGLA22001NL/PO -4-
In a practical embodiment, the control system is configured to adjust the mixing protocol based on a further parameter, wherein the control system comprises a sensor for measuring said further parameter, e.g. temperature of the mortar base product and/or of the environment, or the moisture level of the mortar base product and/or of the environment.
In another embodiment, the control system is configured to use an algorithm to determine the mixing protocol corresponding to the mortar base product that is identified by the recognised identifier, wherein the identified mortar base product is one of a set of parameters for said algorithm.
In a practical embodiment, the control system comprises a sensor for measuring a further parameter of the set of parameters for said algorithm, e.g. temperature of the mortar base product and/or the environment, or the moisture level of the mortar base product and/or the environment.
In an embodiment, the control system is configured to comprise one or more sensors to measure the consistency of the mortar being prepared. The control system may further be configured to determine whether the mortar is of a desired consistency, by comparing the measured consistency with the desired consistency, which may be stored in the control system and/or the identifier. The control system may further be configured to determine based on the measured consistency as compared with the desired consistency whether the mixing protocol is to be considered completed, or whether further mixing is required.
In an embodiment, the mixing system is provided with a signalling device signalling to a user when the mortar being prepared from mixing the mortar base product and the liquid is ready for use, e.g. upon completion of the mixing protocol. The signalling device may e.g. comprise a visual or auditory cue. Alternatively, or additionally, the signalling device may give a warning to a user when the environmental circumstances, e.g. temperature, are such that the mortar base product and/or the mixing protocol may require adjustment.
In an embodiment, the exchangeable container is configured to be releasably coupled with the mixing device and/or is configured to be stacked on top of the mixing device, e.g. by lifting the container on top of the mixing device by using a fork-lift and/or a crane.
In an embodiment, the mixing system comprises a flow promotion device for promoting the supply of mortar base product from the container to the mixing device, e.g. wherein a motor for the flow promotion device is integrated in the mixing device. This is advantageous as it aids the supply of mortar base product, and/or the dosage thereof, to the mixing device. With
CUGLA22001NL/PO -5- such a flow promotion device this supply may e.g. have a steady flow and/or a more uniform dosage of the mortar base product to the mixing device. For example, the flow promotion device might be configured to provide a certain flow rate. In addition such a flow promotion device allows for supplying the mortar base product to the mixing device without having to solely rely on a gravity induced flow of mortar base product. For example, the exchangeable container may have a reservoir for containing the mortar base product, wherein the reservoir has a substantially flat base. The latter is particularly practical for transport as this allows for a compact design of the container.
In an embodiment, the flow promotion device comprises one or more blades mounted movably in the container, e.g. rotatably, and a motor for driving the motion of the blades. The motor may e.g. be arranged on or in the container or on or in the mixing device. For the latter, the blades may be driven by the motor upon coupling the container with the mixing device.
This allows for a light-weight design for the container as fewer components are to be arranged thereon or therein.
In an embodiment, the exchangeable container and/or the mixing device provided with a valve, the valve being adapted to move from a closed position to an opened position after, e.g. upon, coupling the container with the mixing device, and from the opened position to the closed position after, e.g. upon, decoupling the container from the mixing device. The valve of the exchangeable container and/or the mixing device may be operated manually and/or electronically.
In an embodiment, the liquid supply assembly comprises a liquid reservoir that is integrated in the mixing device. This reservoir may act as a buffer for the liquid supply. Alternatively, or additionally the reservoir may be used as an emergency water supply. The liquid reservoir may e.g. contain between 10-50L of liquid. Typically preparing a batch of mortar from the mortar base product requires between 10-20 L of liquid.
This liquid reservoir may e.g. be used as a buffer between an external liquid supply and the mixer, or as an emergency water supply, e.g. if the mixing system falls without a source for such an external liquid supply . For example for a liquid supply assembly which has an auxiliary liquid supply by connecting the mixing device to the water mains. Additionally, or alternatively, the liquid reservoir being integrated in the mixing device allows for a self- contained mixing system.
CUGLA22001NL/PO -6-
Liquid contained in the liquid reservoir may be monitored such that input can be given to the control system, such that e.g. at insufficient amounts of liquid to prepare a batch of mortar, a signalling device could give a warning to a user that there are insufficient amounts of liquid
The mixing system may further comprise a secondary liquid supply assembly for supplying a secondary liquid, e.g. an additive such as a retardant, to the mixer. The secondary liquid may be mixed with the liquid supplied by the liquid supply assembly prior to entry thereof to the mixer, or the secondary liquid may be a separate supply to the mixer.
In an embodiment, the mixing system comprises a locking assembly for releasably coupling the exchangeable container to the mixing device, e.g. wherein the assembly comprises twist locks such as used for ISO-containers . In a locked state wherein the exchangeable container is coupled with the mixing device, e.g. by means of the twist locks, this allows for handling, e.g. lifting, the exchangeable container and the mixing device as a whole.
In an embodiment, the exchangeable container and the mixing device are provided with mating alignment members, e.g. for aligning the container and the mixing device when the container is stacked onto the mixing device.
In an embodiment, the mixer is mounted movably in the mixing device such that the mixer can move between an operative position and a cleaning position in which the mixer protrudes from an outer casing of mixing device. This allows for easy access to the mixer when cleaning.
In an embodiment, the mixing device comprises a plurality of exchangeable containers.
In an embodiment, the mixing system further comprises a storage container for filling of the exchangeable container, the storage container configured to store a mortar base product and having a storage mortar base product identifier, wherein the control system is configured to recognise the storage mortar base product identifier and to compare said identifier with the mortar base product identifier of the exchangeable container.
The invention further relates to a method for preparing mortar from a mortar base product and a liquid with a mixing system according to the invention, the method comprising the steps of: co inputting, e.g. recognising, the mortar base product identifier, o determining a mixing protocol corresponding to said identifier, o controlling the mixing device to execute said mixing protocol.
CUGLA22001NL/PO -7-
In an embodiment, the method further comprises the steps of: o recognising the storage mortar base product identifier, o comparing the recognised identifier with the mortar base product identifier of the exchangeable container, o determine if these identifiers match.
The invention further relates to a method for preparing mortar from a mortar base product and a liquid with a mixing system according to the invention, the method comprising the step of: o exchanging the exchangeable container when the mixing device is in operation.
In a second aspect the invention relates to a mortar mixing system for preparing mortar from a mortar base product and a liquid, the mixing system comprising: - a mixing device comprising a mixer, a motor for driving the mixer, and a liquid supply assembly for supplying the liquid, the mixing device being adapted to execute a mixing protocol for mixing the mortar base product and the liquid, - an exchangeable container configured to contain or containing the mortar base product, which container is configured to be releasably coupled with the mixing device whilst containing the mortar based product, and wherein the container is further provided with a mortar base product identifier, wherein the mixing system is configured to supply the mortar base product from the container to the mixing device, wherein the exchangeable container is releasably coupled with the mixing device and is configured to be stacked on top of the mixing device, and wherein the mixing system comprises a flow promotion device for promoting the supply of mortar base product from the container to the mixing device.
Advantageously, the exchangeability of the container allows for the mixing system to comprise a plurality of exchangeable containers — which could each be configured to contain a different mortar base product.
Itis a further advantage that the exchangeable container is configured to be releasably coupled with the mixing device whilst containing the mortar based product. This allows for the container to be transported whilst being filled with said product, and for the exchangeable
CUGLA22001NL/PO -8- container to be (refilled both on-site and elsewhere, e.g. at the factory or a storage container distanced from the mixing device.
The exchangeable container being releasably coupled with the mixing device further allows for the mixing device to remain on-site, whilst the container is being exchanged, e.g. to be (refilled.
The exchangeable container may even be exchanged whilst the mixing device is in operation, e.g. when the mixing device is in the process of preparing a mortar.
This mixing system is advantageous as it aids the supply of mortar base product, and/or the dosage thereof, to the mixing device. With such a flow promotion device this supply may e.g. have a steady flow and/or a more uniform dosage of the mortar base product to the mixing device. For example, the flow promotion device might be configured to provide a certain flow rate. In addition such a device allows for supplying the mortar base product to the mixing device without having to solely rely on a gravity induced flow of mortar base product. For example, the exchangeable container may have a reservoir for containing the mortar base product, wherein the reservoir has a substantially flat base. The latter is particularly practical for transport as this allows for a compact design of the container.
In an embodiment, the flow promotion device comprises one or more blades mounted movably in the container, e.g. rotatably, and a motor for driving the motion of the blades. The motor may e.g. be arranged on or in the container or on or in the mixing device. For the latter, the blades may be driven by the motor upon coupling the container with the mixing device.
This allows for a light-weight design for the container as fewer components are to be arranged thereon or therein.
The system according to the second aspect of the invention may include one or more features discussed herein with reference to the first aspect.
The invention will be explained further with reference to the drawings, in which like reference symbols designate like parts. In these drawings:
