- the separating device 11 is located between the two separate media 3, 4 of the mixture 2, wherein during the Centrifuging the specifically lighter medium 3 from the specifically heavier Medium 4 is physically separated, as is already the case in FIG. 5 for only one Sealing element has been described. Due to the weight of the separator 11 and the selected specific weight or the previously described The density of the same drops into the medium 3 and then floats on specifically heavier medium 4.
- a deeper sinking of the separation device 11 in the medium 4 is due to the physical properties described above not possible, causing the separator 11 after the centrifugation has ended process and the reshaping of the sealing device 68 again with its sealing elements 69 sealingly against the inner surface 15 of the receptacle 5 comes and so a new mixing of the two media 3, 4 of the mixture 2 is safely avoided.
- the separating device 11 Due to the design of the separating device 11, it is possible, for example, too volumes of the mixture 2 filled differently into the interior 10 from one another to separate without an exact filling quantity or filling height in the Receiving container 5 must be observed when filling. The separation process of the Both media 3, 4 must continue until it is ensured that the separating device 11 is arranged between the two media 3, 4 and on the physical heavier medium 4 floats.
- Fig. 8 is also shown schematically that the mounting device 103 e.g. also by one applied to the inner surface 15 of the receptacle 5 Coating 111 can be formed, which the separating device 11 to Start of the centrifuging process in the vicinity of one of the closure devices 8, 9 holds. It is possible to design the coating 111 such that it during the entire storage period of the receiving device 1 until the filling process serves as a holding device 103 and only directly at the beginning of the centrifuging process loses its holding effect for the separating device 11 and e.g. also afterwards serves as a lubricant for the separating device 11 during its movement, since it softens or through the liquid introduced into the receptacle 5 is dissolved or rinsed off.
- the coating 111 can be applied to the entire surface of the inner surface 15 as well as applied to it only in certain areas.
- FIG. 11 shows a further embodiment, which may be independent a separating device 11 with a part of the one forming the receiving device 1 Receiving container 5 shown, again the same reference numerals for the same parts as used in Figs. 1 to 10. To a variety of different To be able to represent training options for the sealing device 68 and to avoid multiple representations, these were in a common figure, however shown in different positions.
- the separating device 11 shown here consists of the support body 70 and the sealing device 68 arranged thereon, which preferably consists of at least one sealing element arranged centrally to the central longitudinal axis 81 of the support body 70 69 is formed.
- the support body 70 in turn has the outer dimension 84, with its center the central longitudinal axis 81 is arranged.
- This outer dimension 84 is represented by delimits the side wall 71 which preferably runs all around, on which also the different sealing elements 69 can be arranged.
- These sealing elements 69 can either again in differently designed recesses 72 of the Support body 70 used or held on the support body 70, the sealing elements 69 a projection 98 aligned over the parallel to the central longitudinal axis 81
- the support body 70 is further aligned by the two perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 81 End faces 82. 83 limited in its longitudinal extent, whereby between this again forms the overall height 85.
- the separating device 11 has a maximum cross-sectional dimension 102 in the area of the sealing elements 69 in a vertical to the central longitudinal axis 81 arranged plane, which deviates from the outer dimension 84 of the support body 70 and the double projection 98 of the sealing element 69 composed over the support body 70.
- This cross-sectional dimension 102 is in the relaxed and not used in the interior 10 position at least the same or to some extent larger than the inner dimension 14 in one too Plane of the receptacle 5 oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis 21 due to the preferably slight differences in diameter, this leads to a sealing contact of the sealing elements 69 on the inner surface 15 of the receptacle 5th
- the sealing element 69 shown in the upper left area of the support body 70 has an approximately circular base body with an arranged thereon, protruding in the direction facing away from the central longitudinal axis 81 112, which has a thickness of 113 on that facing away from the central longitudinal axis 81 Direction is preferably continuously decreasing.
- the basic body of the sealing element 69 can be formed in the groove-shaped recess 72 may be used in the support body 70. Of course there is also a multiple arrangement of the sealing element 69 possible to form the sealing device 68.
- the sealing element 69 In the upper right area of the support body 70 is another possible training of the sealing element 69 shown, which consists of an approximately cylindrical Base body 114 and at least one, but preferably several extensions 112, which on the side of the separating device facing away from the central longitudinal axis 81 11 protrude, is formed.
- the extensions 112 can in turn also with a relatively small thickness 113 in the direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis 81 be and through preferably all-round, thin webs, lamellae, sealing lips or the like.
- the body 114 in the region of the side wall 71, at least one extension 115 is arranged, which extends from the side wall 71 in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 81.
- this approach 115 can only in certain areas and with respect to one another be staggered or continuous. It goes without saying seen a multiple arrangement of the approach 115 in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 81 possible, this approach 115 in turn a correspondingly dimensionally trained Recess 72 in the support body 70 is assigned. This makes it possible Sealing element 69 against axial movement in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 81 in Secure relation to the support body 70, whereby the sealing device 68, which in the present embodiment is formed by the sealing element 69 in its Position relative to the support body 70 is fixed. These previously described and interacting Components provide means for holding between the support body 70 and the sealing device 68.
- the sealing device 68 is in the lower right area of the support body 70 shown, which in this embodiment is the immediate previously described sealing element 69 is very similar.
- the individual point Extensions 112 have an even smaller thickness 113 compared to those described immediately above Extensions 112 on, creating an even better seal of the two Media 3, 4 to be separated from one another can take place after the separation process.
- the individual extensions 112 are again arranged on a common base body 114, here the base body 114 on its side wall 71 of the support body 70 facing surface by means of a schematically indicated adhesive layer 116 is supported on the support body 70.
- the formation and arrangement of the adhesive layer 116 depends on the choice of materials from which the support body 70 or the Sealing device 68 is formed, and can of course be chosen freely. However, it is also possible to use an adhesive or press fit instead of the adhesive layer 116 between the sealing element 69 and the support body 70 to provide a turn to achieve secure positioning of the sealing element 69 in relation to the support body 70.
- the sealing element 69 of the sealing device 68 on the support body 70 is a further training and arrangement options of the sealing element 69 of the sealing device 68 on the support body 70 shown.
- the sealing element 69 can be similar to that described immediately above Be formed sealing element 69 and in turn from the base body 114 and the one arranged thereon and facing away from the central longitudinal axis 81 Be projecting extensions 112 are formed.
- Be projecting extensions 112 are formed.
- the base body 114 a dimensionally coordinated recess 72 assigned in the support body 70, in which the base body 114 is inserted.
- a great advantage over previously known recording devices, which for Separation of different media are used, is also that due to the weight design of the separation device 11 a floating between the separate 3, 4 media takes place, without thereby an exact filling quantity the media 3, 4 to be separated must be observed before the centrifugation process got to.
