BY 7 I APPARATUS FOR MIXING PARTICULATE MATERIALS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Apparatus is available for receiving powdered or granular material from a supply hopper and discharging the material at a predetermined, constant feedrate. In many processes, it also is necessary to provide an intimate mixture of two or more materials in predetermined proportions and as a continuous stream. In general, prior mixing apparatus is bulky and expensive, is not easily disassembled for cleaning, and does not provide an intimate and rapid blending of thematerials coupled with gentle action. Also, previous continuous mixers are of the positive displacement type wherein discharging of the materials is effected by a rotating screw or like device which governs the material retention or mixing time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Continuous streams of materials to be mixed are directed into one end of an elongated trough containing a rotating paddle wheel arrangement, said trough being vibrated to reduce the container materials from a solid state to a fluid state, in
I which condition the materials are more readily miscible. Due
to the fluid character of the material, the translation of the material from the inlet end of the trough to the outlet end thereof takes place by reason of the difference in the static head of the material at the trough ends, whereby the discharge rate of the apparatus always balances the inlet rate.
An object of this invention is the provision of improved apparatus for intimately mixing powdered or granular materials and discharging the mixed materials at a rate governed only by that at which the materials are supplied to the apparatus, thereby providing for maximum retention or mixing time.
An object of this invention is the provision of apparatus for receiving continuous streams of different materials, simultaneously'vibrating and stirring the materials, and continuously discharging the mixed materials at a rate which at all times balances the rate at which materials are being supplied to the apparatus.
An object of this invention is the provision of mixing apparatus having a tubular member .provided with a material inlet and a material outlet, a rotatable paddle wheel arrangement within the tubular member, and means for vibrating the tubular member and paddle wheel arrangement to impart a fluidlike characteristic to the material contained within the trough.
The above-stated and other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description when taken with the accompanying drawings. It will be understood, however, that the drawings are for purposes of illustration and are not to be construed as defining the scope or limits of the invention, reference being had for the latter purpose to the claims appended hereto.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings wherein like reference numerals denote like parts in the several views:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of mixing apparatus made in accordance with this invention, with parts broken away; and
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line lI-ll of FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings, the apparatus is supported on a bonded at each end as by vulcanizing. Such isolators support,
an I-beam 16, said beam and isolators being secured to the brackets by means of bolts and nuts. Thus, the I-beam and the brackets are held apart by the isolators and can move parallel to one another within the stretch limits of the rubber. A circular clamp 17, secured to the motor housing, has welded thereto a plate 18, which plate also is welded to the I-beam. The drive shaft of the motor is mechanically coupled to a shaft 19 by means of pulleys and a belt 20, said shaft 19 being rotatable in bearings 21, carried by the I-beam, and said shaft having secured thereto spaced, eccentric weights 22 and 23. Upon energization of the motor, the rotating weights impart vigorous vibrations to the I-beam.
The other end of the I-beam is welded, or otherwise secured to the top wall of a housing 23, which housing is open at the bottom and has an inverted, U-shaped, cross-sectional configuration. An elongated trough 24, having a semicircular bottom portion, is welded to a bracket 25 which is removably secured to the housing 23 by means of the bolts 26 and nuts 27'. The housing 23 is spaced from the base 10 and is supported therefrom by a vibration-isolating mounting comprising a metal arm 27 having rubber bushings 28 and 29 pressed into the circular ends thereof. Spaced rods 30 and 31 are force-fitted through the rubber bushings and have ends passing through aligned holes formed in the associated mounting brackets 32 and 33, the upper mounting bracket 32 being secured to the housing 23 and the lower bracket 33 being secured to the base 10. This arrangement permits unrestricted vibration of the housing 23 in a horizontal plane while minimizing the transmission of vibrations to the base 10.
The material mixing function is performed by paddle wheels comprising four bars 35-38 welded to the end portions of the spiders 39-42 which are secured to the shaft 43 rotatable in bearings carried by the end walls of the trough 24. This shaft is mechanically coupled to the drive shaft of motor 44 by means of pulleys and the belt 45, said motor being bolted to the base 10. The upper end of the trough is closed by a cover 46 provided with an inlet opening 47. A circular segment opening 48, formed in the front wall of the trough 24, constitutes the discharge opening of the apparatus.
The powdered or granular materials are supplied to the trough through the inlet opening 47, each material being discharged from a conventional material feeder at a predetermined, constant flowrate. The rotating paddle wheel stirs the received materials while they are vigorously vibrated, such vibration having the effect of converting the materials to a pseudofluid state, in which state the materials are more readily miscible. The function of the straight bars of the paddle wheel is to lift and drop the materials at substantially right angles to the mixer shaft 43. Translation of the material toward the discharge opening 48 occurs by reason of its fluidization and the difference in the static head of the material at the inlet and outlet ends of the trough 24. Due to the fluidlike character of the material, induced by vibration, the static head differential serves to maintain a continuous flow of the mixed materials out of the discharge opening. Consequently, the mixing apparatus is self-adjusting with respect to the fiowrate, that is, the discharge rate of the apparatus always balances the input rate, while maintaining maximum material-retention time in the mixer.
The described apparatus provides an intimate mixing of powdered or granular materials combined with gentle action. The mixing action is rapid, permitting operation of the apparatus at high flowrates. Also, the apparatus is easily disassembled for cleaning, the latter feature being an important consideration when the materials are pharmaceuticals or dyebearing mixes.
Having now described the invention, those skilled in this art will be able to make various changes and modifications without thereby departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as recited in the following claims.
