Definitions

  • Known apparatus e.g. for making paint, comprises a vessel for receiving liquid and other material to be mixed and a rotary agitator for immersion into the contents of the vessel.
  • the other materials may comprise opacifiers, pigments and the like, and are often added in successive increments.
  • the size of an increment is determined by the state of the liquid to which the increment is added, and the desire to avoid clots and lumps in the mixture. In general, it is better to add successive small increments than fewer larger increments.
  • European Patent No. 0000827 describes apparatus of the mentioned kind in which the agitator is vertically moved in the vessel under the control of means responsive to the noise level emitted by the contents of the vessel during agitation. Effectively, the addition of a powder increment, although having a blanketing effect, causes increased turbulence and hence more noise and this noise is sensed and a resulting signal causes the agitator to be raised so as to be nearer the surface of the liquid. In this position the agitator has a greater effect on mixing and dispersing of the powder (assumed to be located towards the surface of the liquid) and consequently the speed and efficiency of the dispersion is improved.
  • the apparatus is maae in various sizes, for example a nominal 500 litre, 2500 litre and so on vessel capacity. If a large vessel is used for a small batch for example a 400 litre batch in a 2500 litre vessel as is sometimes necessary because of the unavailahility of smaller apparatus, pool of liquid is shallow and the scope for raising and lowering of the agitator is quite limited because the agitator must be immersed in the solvent.
  • the apparatus of said European Patent is then of only limited value or even is not useful.
  • the object of the invention is to provide improvements.
  • mixing apparatus comprising a vessel for receiving liquid and other materials to be mixed, a rotary agitator for immersion into the contents of the vessel, and means responsive to the noise level emitted by the contents of the vessel during agitation, is characterised in that the said means responsive to the noise level are used to vary the effectiveness of the agitator other than by height adjustment.
  • a pot 10 is charged with powder and solvents which are mixed and dispersed by rotor 12 driven by shaft 14.
  • the shaft can be raised and lowered by ram 16 and the shaft is rotated by a motor in the head 18.
  • Microphone 20 senses noise which is used by appropriate circuitry to vary the mixing conditions from time to time.
  • the agitator is to be rotated by a variable speed drive (known per se) and the noise responsive means varies the speed of rotation of the agitator.
  • a variable speed drive known per se
  • the noise responsive means varies the speed of rotation of the agitator.
  • variable speed drive is in BP1051692 where a variable volume pump is used in a hydraulic transmission.
  • the noise signal from microphone 20 will be used to control the swash plate angle of the variable volume pump which drives the motor in head 18.
  • the rotary agitator is provided with blades of variable pitch, and the pitch is adjusted by the noise responsive means.
  • the effect will be similar to that attained by agitator speed variation, in that an increase in pitch will increase the agitation of the liquid for better mixing, and a reduction in pitch, that is movement towards a fully “feathered” position will have the opposite effect, and threshold limits avoid hunting.
  • the blades of the agitator 12 may be pivoted on a hub at the bottom of the agitator shaft 14 for movement between the feathered and effective positions, and be spring urged to one or other.
  • a loose collar or tubular shaft surrounding the drive shaft 14 may be axially displaced by an actuator in head 18 operated by the noise control system so as to cam the blades against the spring to the opposite position.
  • the agitator is provided with blades which are adjustable between positions more and less closely akin to radial positions. Effectively the overall diameter of the agitator is varied by such adjustment, and hence a decrease in noise due to powder addition will result in an increase in agitator diameter and vice versa, with thresholds for the same reasons as would be the case if either of the alternative features were utilised.
  • This possibility may be utilised by again having inner and outer shafts 14 with one driving (rotating) the agitator blades 12 and the second moved relatively to the first, such as by an epicyclic gear set via a noise sensing system to cam the blades to different angles, between the radial and the tangential to the shafts, so that the blades sweep through different diameter circles according to the angular position of the blades to the shafts.
  • the mixing effect is greatest, akin to maximum pitch displacement from the feathered position, likewise akin to maximum speed of the drive shaft 14, or to maximum effective height of the agitator in the pot in the various respective other possibilities mentioned.
