Description

Crusher

The present invention is a pulverizer that includes a rotary blade and a fixed blade, and pulverizes solid particles between opposing blade surfaces, and efficiently suppresses the temperature rise of the processed material, and completely treats the processed material and the cooling medium. The present invention relates to a crusher that can be shut off.

Patent Document 1 describes an example of a pulverizer that pulverizes solid particles.
The pulverizer includes a cylindrical container, a rotating shaft provided through one end side wall of the container, a rotating blade attached to the rotating shaft, a fixed blade provided on the other end side wall of the container, and a center of the fixed blade. A crusher that crushes the processed material between the blade surfaces of the fixed blade and the rotary blade, and has a processed product supply port provided via the section and a processed product discharge port provided on the peripheral wall of the container. is there.
The rotary blade is rotated at a high speed of about 10,000 times per minute. The treated material is introduced from the supply port on the other end side through the center of the fixed blade and between the blade surfaces of the rotary blade and the fixed blade, and pulverized by receiving a pulverizing action between the blade surfaces due to shearing force or cutting force. It is processed.

These types of pulverizers have been widely used for mashing cereals and beans, but recently, they are also used for pulverizing waste rubber materials, wood, plastics and the like. That is, it is also suitable for pulverization of elastic materials and materials with high toughness.
However, since the temperature rises due to the pulverization process, a cooling function may be required depending on the processed product.

For example, when the processed material is plastic, it may melt at a high temperature and the pulverization process may be impossible.
In the case where the processed product is a food, if the temperature rises, it will rot due to oxidation by air or bacterial growth, destroying nutrients and losing the original aroma and taste of the material.

Patent Document 2 describes a similar pulverizer including a rotary blade and a fixed blade, and a pulverizer including a cooling mechanism.
However, since the entire cooling mechanism is very complicated, it is inevitable that the cooling medium leaks to the processing object side.
In other words, in addition to the impact force generated between the blade surfaces when pulverizing the processed material, a vigorous vibration occurs when the rotary blade is rotated at a high speed in order to cause the cooling medium to flow in the complicated flow path. is there. When the shape change of each member due to temperature change overlaps with this, the seal member is damaged and the cooling medium leaks.

Patent Document 3 describes another pulverizer including a rotary blade and a fixed blade. The rotary blade and the fixed blade are positioned with their blade surfaces facing each other. The rotary blade has a flat blade surface, and the fixed blade has a blade surface with a recessed central portion.
Patent Document 4 describes another pulverizer including a rotary blade and a fixed blade. The rotary blade and the fixed blade are positioned with their blade surfaces facing each other, but the fixed blade has a blade surface with a central portion protruding, and the rotary blade has a blade surface with a concave central portion.

Similarly, for a sealing member such as an O-ring, the position in the cross-sectional view is indicated by a white circle.

The rotating shaft 30 has a tubular shape for allowing a cooling medium to flow through the rotating blade 50, and is formed by inserting a small tube 40 into the space in the shaft. The shaft tip portion 33 to which the rotary blade 50 is attached is formed with a small diameter, the tip is closed and a male screw 34 is formed. A cap nut 35 can be attached here.

A rotary joint (not shown) is attached to the drive unit side of the rotary shaft 30, and a cooling medium supply pipe and a discharge pipe can be connected to the rotary joint. The inside and outside of the small tube 40 to be inserted can be used as a cooling medium flow path. Specifically, a partition member 80 such as an O-ring is provided between the inner wall of the rotating shaft 30 and the outer wall of the small tube 40, and openings 36 and 37 are provided on both sides thereof so that a cooling space can be provided from the rotating shaft 30. A flow path of the cooling medium leading to A can be formed.

The rotation-side holding member 51 includes a cylindrical shaft holding portion 54 at the center, and can be attached in close contact with the shaft tip portion 33 of the rotation shaft 30.
In the shaft holding portion 54, a flow path 71 that communicates with the opening 36 of the rotating shaft 30 and a flow path 72 that communicates with the opening 37 of the rotating shaft 30 are formed.

Here, the cooling medium reverses from the inside of the tube to the outside of the tube at the tip of the small tube 40 to form a flow that reaches the opening 36, and the cooling space A passes through the flow path 71 of the shaft holding unit 54 from the opening 36.

A seal member 81 is provided between the end plate 55 and the shaft tip portion 33, and a seal member 82 is provided between the end plate 55 and the shaft holding portion 54. Similarly, a seal member 83 is provided between the end plate 56 and the shaft tip portion 33, and a seal member 84 is provided between the end plate 56 and the shaft holding portion 54. Therefore, by tightening the cap nut 35, the space between the shaft tip portion 33 and the shaft holding portion 54 is tightly sealed, and leakage of the cooling medium can be reliably prevented.
In general, an O-ring is used as the seal member 81 and the like.

Further, seal members 85 and 86 are provided between the rotation-side cover member 53 and the rotation-side holding member 51. For this reason, by tightening the bolt 91, the space between the rotation side cover member 53 and the rotation side holding member 51 is tightly sealed, and leakage of the cooling medium can be reliably prevented.
As a female screw for the male screw bolt 91, a nut may be used, or a screw hole may be provided in the rotation side holding member 51 or the rotation side cover member 53.

The fixed blade 60 will be described with reference to FIG.
A cooling space B is formed between the fixed side holding member 61 and the fixed side cover member 63.

The fixed-side holding member 61 is fixed to the lid member 25 by bolts 94, and the lid member 25 is fixed to the container 20 by bolts 95.

A nozzle 75 and a nozzle 76 formed of a short pipe are attached to the fixed cover member 63, and a cooling medium supply pipe and a discharge pipe can be connected thereto.
The nozzle 75 and the nozzle 76 are formed so as to protrude outside the lid member 25 through the through holes 26 and 27 provided in the lid member 25.
In this way, the cooling space B can be formed with a simple structure, and leakage of the cooling medium can be completely prevented.

Next, the cooling space B will be described. About the cooling space A, since it becomes the same content, description is abbreviate | omitted and only a required matter is added.
In FIG. 1, it has been described that the cooling space B is formed between the fixed-side holding member 61 and the fixed-side cover member 63, but simply shows that an annular space is formed.
Here, the protrusions 66, 67, and 68 provided in the annular cooling space B will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The annular cooling space B is formed such that an annular recess is formed on one surface of the fixed-side holding member 61 and a flat plate-shaped fixed-side cover member 63 is placed thereon. And the protrusion parts 66, 67, and 68 are formed toward the cooling space B from the bottom face of the hollow. Here, the case where all are formed linearly and arranged radially is shown, but for example, they can be formed in an arc shape and arranged concentrically, and can be changed as appropriate according to the purpose of use. it can.

The protrusion 66 is formed from the inner peripheral wall 64 of the annular space toward the outer peripheral wall 65.
The protrusion 67 is formed from the outer peripheral wall 65 of the annular space toward the inner peripheral wall 64.
The protrusion 68 is formed so as to connect the inner peripheral wall 64 and the outer peripheral wall 65 of the annular space.

One of the purposes of forming the protrusions 66 and the like is to form a flow passage in which the cooling medium flows in the cooling space B by a piston flow, thereby preventing a short circuit and improving heat transfer.
Here, the flow path which goes around the cooling space B in the circumferential direction is formed by the protrusions 66, 67, and 68. When the cooling medium is supplied from the nozzle 75 to the cooling space B, it can be discharged from the nozzle 76 through the space between the alternately arranged protrusions 66 and protrusions 67.

As described above, when the flow path is formed to improve heat transfer, it is preferable that all the protruding portions 66 and the like are in close contact with the fixed-side cover member 63 to prevent a short circuit of the flow.
That is, as shown in the ZZ arrow direction, it is preferable that the height h of the projecting portion 66 and the like is formed to be the maximum value.

Another purpose of forming the protrusions 66 and the like is to give them a fin effect to improve heat transfer. In the case of simply forming a flow passage, the same effect can be obtained even if the protruding portion 66 and the like are provided on the fixed-side cover member 63.
However, in order to obtain the fin effect, it is necessary to provide the protruding portion 66 and the like on the fixed side holding member 61 so as to increase the area where the fixed side holding member 61 contacts the cooling medium. In the case where the fin effect is further prioritized, it is possible to make a random flow without bringing the protrusion 66 and the like into close contact with the fixed-side cover member 63.

Another purpose of forming the protrusion 66 and the like is to provide a female screw for fixing the stationary blade member 62.
Since the cooling space B is provided to cool the fixed-side blade member 62, it is preferable to position the cooling space B so as to overlap with the fixed-side blade member 62 as much as possible. For this reason, when the fixed side blade member 62 is attached to the fixed side holding member 61 with a bolt, it is preferable to position the bolt in the space of the cooling space B.

In this case, it is necessary to penetrate the bolt hole into at least one of the fixed side holding member 61 or the fixed side blade member 62. However, providing a through hole in the fixed holding member 61 in which the cooling space B is formed is not preferable because the cooling medium leaks from the cooling space B to the fixed blade member 62 side.
Accordingly, a through-hole is provided in the fixed-side blade member 62, and the plate thickness of the fixed-side holding member 61 is increased to form a female screw that does not penetrate.

However, the movement of heat in the fixed-side holding member 61 is conduction, and it is preferable that the plate thickness t indicated by the arrow ZZ is thin. For this reason, it is preferable to reduce the plate thickness t and to increase the height h of the protrusion 66 and the like.
That is, as shown by the YY arrow and the ZZ arrow, the protrusion 66 and the like in this case have a width w and a thickness (height h +) necessary to form a screw hole 96 that does not penetrate. It is preferable to have a plate thickness t).

Thus, by forming the screw hole 96 for the bolt in the protruding portion 66 of the fixed side holding member 61 and the like, the fixed side blade member 62 can be securely attached to the fixed side holding member 61 and the fixed side It is possible to reliably prevent the cooling medium flowing through the cooling space B of the holding member 61 from leaking to the fixed blade member 62 side.

The cooling space A can be considered in the same manner as the cooling space B. However, in order to rotate the rotary blade 50 at a high speed, it is important to have a structure in which no eccentric load is generated in the rotation-side holding member 51. It is preferable that the medium is equally arranged with a plurality of inlets and outlets.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes that do not depart from the gist of the present invention are not limited thereto. include.
For example, the rotary blade 50 and the fixed blade 60 shown in FIG. 1 and the like have been shown to have a blade surface with a recessed central portion. However, as described in Patent Document 3, one blade is used. It is also possible to form the surface as a flat surface, and as described in Patent Document 4, it is also possible to project the central portion of one blade surface.

Since the present invention has an excellent cooling performance, even when the processed material is plastic, it can be pulverized at a low temperature without melting. When the processed product is a food, it can be kept at a low temperature to prevent oxidation and spoilage, prevent destruction of nutrients, and protect the original aroma and taste of the material.
