sum 1 OF 2 FIG.1
PRIOR ART PATENIEnJAmzlsm 34554497 sum 2 or 2 ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED MAGNETIC STIRRER The invention relates to an electronically controlled magnetic stirrer for stirring media of low viscosity, wherein a rotating magnet which performs the stirring work is disposed in a housing, on which there is mounted a vessel container the medium to be stirred, there being freely movably disposed in the said vessel one or more stirring members which are driven by the rotating magnet and which stir the medium.
Since the stirring members in the vessel are driven by the rotating magnet lines of force pass through the vessel, the latter may consist of a material of any kind with the exception of a magnetic material. Such apparatus are employed primarily in chemical laboratories, so that the media to be stirred are primarily chemicals, and the stirring members are therefore preferably provided with an acid-resistant coating.
The object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic stirrer, wherein the field strength which acts on the stirring member and the speed of the later can be infinitely varied, and which has no mechanically or electrically moved parts and consequently requires no servicing and, in addition, has from the outset the properties of an explosion-proof apparatus.
Apparatus are already known in which 'a permanent magnet is rotated in some way within the housing during the operation. This permanent magnet transmits its rotational movement, by means of the magnetic field transmission, to a second permanent magnet situated in the stirring vessel, i.e. to the stirring member. ln such cases, it is immaterial whether the permanent magnet in the housing of the stirrer is directly mounted on the shaft of the electric motor or is mounted on a shaft driven through a transmission system.
The disadvantage of such apparatus is that they are very costly by reason of the principle of their construction. From the physical viewpoint, they utilize two stators and two rotors.
The first stator and the rotor associated therewith form the driving motor, the second stator is the rotating permanent magnet, and the second rotor is the stirring member consisting of a permanent magnet and situated in the vessel.
in addition, stirring apparatus are known which employ an electric rotating-field generator within the housing. However, such apparatus operate only at a supply frequency of S c/s or 60 CIS and they therefore have no means for speed regulation.
The invention has for its object to provide an apparatus based upon a very simple principle and having no mechanically moving parts, which constitutes further development of the existing known apparatus, i.e. the apparatus is to operate silently, to be infinitely regulatable in speed and magnetic field strength, to have no wear and to be explosionproof.
In accordance with the invention, this object is achieved in an apparatus of the type mentioned at the beginning, by virtue of the fact that there are employed to drive the stirring member or members, instead of a rotating magnet, one or more fixed electromagnets disposed in the housing, which generate a rotating magnetic field, the speed of the magnetic field, by which the stirring frequency-is determined, and the strength of the said field being infinitely variable within a wide range of limits by an electronic control element for feeding the electromagnets.
The electromagnets generate a rotating electromagnetic field, which in turn transmits this rotational movement to the stirring member situated in the stirring vessel and this initiates and maintains the stirring operation. .In contradistinction to the known apparatus, the apparatus according to the invention requires only one stator and one rotor.
ln consists of a fixedly mounted electromagnet within the housing constituting a stator and a soft-iron or permanent magnet, freely movable in the stirring vessel, constituting a rotor.
The intensity of the rotating magnetic field which is generated by the electromagnet makes it possible in accordance with the invention, to employ as stirring members in the vessel containing the medium to be stirred magnetizable soft-iron parts which are provided with blades or the like which promote the stirring action. In addition, it is possible accordance with the invention to provide the described a paratus with heating means and thus to supply heat to t medium during the stirring operation without magnetizath of the permanent magnets being disadvantageously influenci by the heating as might happen in the stirring apparat hitherto operating with permanent magnets.
The advantages achieved by the invention consist mo especially in that, with low cost of construction, an apparat can be produced which employs no mechanically or elect cally movable parts and thus has an unlimited useful life, a1 which operates silently and is explosionproof, since sparkir for example due to an electric motor, need not be given co cem. In addition, the speed of rotation of the magnetic fie and thus the speed and the magnetic field strength may regulated and thus adapted to the particular purpose of us Moreover, it is possible to make the overall height of the a paratus according to the invention substantially smalli because no mechanical driving devices have to be accoi modated therein.
In a convenient further development of the invention, i stead of the vessel, there may be resiliently mounted upon t housing, in spaced relationship thereto, a soft-iron or p: manently magnetic plate, which is in turn intended to recei a vessel and whichperforms a three-dimensional agitati movement with the vessel under the influence of the rotati magnetic field, whereby a further possibility of application the apparatus is afforded.
Also, by switching over. it is possible to alter the rotati magnetic field to an increasing and decreasing magnetic fie and thereby amplify the agitating effect. It is also possit within the scope of the invention to reverse the direction rotation of the magnetic field during the stirring operation reversing the polarity of the magnet. This is of particular a vantage whenever a stir spout is formed in the medium to stirred.
Embodiments of the invention areillustrated by way of e ample in the accompanying drawings and more fully describ in the following.
