[0002] In general, a mixing device is a device that puts two or more raw materials into a container and mixes them using a stirrer. It is mainly used when mixing raw materials with different ingredients.

[0003] The mixing method of this type of mixing device is to put raw materials with different components into a tank or container with a certain volume and then mix them through artificial or mechanical operation.

[0004] Here, a device for mixing contents in a vortex manner is typically configured to include a main body having a cylindrical volume with a closed upper portion, an injection port formed on the upper portion of the main body, a motor coupled to the center of the upper surface of the main body, and a plurality of stirring blades connected to the shaft of the motor and rotatably installed inside the main body to stir the contents.

[0005] However, in the case of this structure, the contents inside the container cannot be sealed, and this can cause the inflow of foreign substances or contamination from outside, making it difficult to apply to precision fields such as chemistry or bio.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology that can stably mix the contents inside the container while keeping the inside of the container sealed and prevent the formation of sediment.

[0018] In addition, the tilting module may include a detection unit that is provided on at least one of both sides of the guide module in the width direction, and that detects whether the rotation angle of the guide module when rotating around the second rotation axis is outside a preset range.

[0019] In addition, the guide module may further include a separate vibration generating unit that applies shock to the mixing container at regular intervals and generates vibration.

[0020] In addition, the guide modules are provided in a plurality of successive rows along the second rotation axis and are configured to be interconnected and operate simultaneously, and the rotation module is independently provided for each of the guide modules so that the mixing vessel can be installed thereon.

[0041] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0042] First, the configuration of the mixing device according to the present invention will be briefly examined with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0043] FIG. 1 is a drawing schematically showing the configuration of a mixing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a drawing showing a front view of the mixing device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the configuration of a guide module in the mixing device of FIG. 1.

[0044] And Fig. 4 is a drawing showing a state in which a mixing container is mounted on the guide module of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is a drawing showing a state in which the mixing device of Fig. 1 is converted from an initial state to a use state and the mixing container is tilted at a certain angle.

[0045] The present invention is a device for mixing a solution and powder sediment contained inside a packing of a bio-purification process under optimal conditions, wherein the solution and powder are contained inside a mixing container (10) and mixed through swinging and rolling in a sealed state.

[0046] Specifically, the present invention largely includes a guide module (100), a rotation module (200), and a tilting module (300), and a mixing container (10) containing contents is mounted on the guide module (100) and rotates and tilts to mix the contents.

[0047] The above guide module (100) is formed to be long and has a preset length, and is mounted so that the mixing container (10) can rotate along the longitudinal direction. At this time, the guide module (100) is fixed so that the mixing container (10) is mounted and rotates around the first rotation axis (A1) formed along the longitudinal direction.

[0048] Here, the mixing container (10) is formed in a shape in which the mixing container (10) is formed to be long in the vertical direction and the circumference of the upper part decreases, and the contents contained inside are formed by rotating the mixing container (10).

[0049] And the above guide module (100) is configured so that the mixing container (10) is installed therein, pressurized from the top and bottom along the longitudinal direction, and can rotate without being detached.

[0050] Looking at the detailed configuration of the above guide module (100), it includes a frame unit (110) forming the skeleton, a rotation support unit (120), and an upper support unit (130).

[0051] The above frame unit (110) is formed to be elongated along the longitudinal direction of the mixing container (10) with a preset length and is configured to wrap around a portion of the side of the mixing container (10). Specifically, in the present invention, the frame unit (110) is formed to be elongated and has a U shape with both sides bent forward along the width direction, and both sides along the width direction are rotatably coupled to the tilting module (300) described below.

[0052] And the mixing container (10) is installed at the center of the frame unit (110), and additionally, the rotation module (200) is provided inside the frame unit (110).

[0053] In this embodiment, the frame unit (110) is formed to be long along the longitudinal direction as shown, and a bending portion (112) is formed that is bent forward on both sides along the width direction, and the mixing container (10) is placed between the bending portions (112). In addition, the other end portion is formed to be bent forward along the longitudinal direction to support the lower portion of the mixing container (10).

[0054] That is, the frame unit (110) is formed long in the vertical direction, and the two sides along the width direction and the lower part along the length direction are each formed to be bent forward so that the mixing container (10) can be installed.

[0055] Additionally, a rotary shaft (114) protruding along the width direction is formed in the above-described bending portion (112), and is rotatably coupled with the tilting module (300) described below and a second rotary axis (A2).

[0056] Meanwhile, the rotation support unit (120) is provided at the other end of the frame unit (110) and supports the lower portion of the mixing container (10).

[0057] Specifically, the frame unit (110) is formed in a plate shape of a certain area and is in contact with the lower surface of the mixing container (10) to support it so that it does not come off. At this time, the frame unit (110) is coupled to the frame unit (110) so as to be rotatable around a first rotation axis (A1) located at the center along the vertical direction of the mixing container (10).

[0058] That is, the frame unit (110) is configured to contact the lower surface of the mixing container (10) and support it from below while being able to rotate together with the mixing container (10) about the first rotation axis (A1).

[0059] In this embodiment, the rotation support unit (120) is formed in a circular shape and is positioned in a protruding form from the other end of the frame unit (110), and is configured to rotate with the first rotation axis (A1). At this time, the frame unit (110) is formed by bending so that the other end protrudes forward as shown, and the rotation support unit (120) is configured to rotate with the first rotation axis (A1) at the protruding portion.

[0060] The upper support unit (130) is provided at one end of the frame unit (110) and surrounds a portion of the circumference of the mixing container (10) and supports it by contacting the upper portion along the longitudinal direction.

[0061] Specifically, the upper support unit (130) is positioned to face the rotation support unit (120) to support the upper portion of the mixing container (10), and is configured to rotate stably without interference when the mixing container (10) rotates.

[0062] That is, the mixing container (10) is mounted on the frame unit (110), and the upper support unit (130) and the rotation support unit (120) are in contact with each other at the upper and lower portions, and is mounted between them.

[0063] At this time, the upper support unit (130) has elasticity in the direction of the rotation support unit (120) and slides and presses with a pressure level of one day, and due to the elasticity, the mixing container (10) can be stably maintained in a fixed state without being detached.

[0064] Here, the upper support unit (130) contacts the upper portion of the mixing container (10) in a form that wraps around a portion of the circumference, and supports the mixing container (10) so that it can rotate around the first rotation axis (A1) in the contacted state.

[0065] Looking at it in more detail, the upper support unit (130) largely includes a pressure support portion (132) and a rotation roller portion (134), and the pressure support portion (132) is formed in a ring shape and protrudes from one side of the frame unit (110). At this time, the pressure support portion (132) is formed so that the upper portion of the mixing container (10) is seated in the central portion, and is configured to surround a portion of the circumference centered on the first rotation axis (A1).

[0066] In this embodiment, the pressurized support member (132) is formed as a semicircular ring as shown and is formed in a form with the front side open, and the upper part of the mixing container (10) is inserted into the open part.

[0067] Here, the pressure support member (132) is configured to apply elastic pressure in the direction of the rotation support unit (120) so as to support the mixing container (10) so that it does not come out of stable contact with the rotation support unit (120).

[0068] The above rotating roller part (134) is arranged in multiple pieces spaced apart along the ring shape of the pressure support part (132) and comes into contact with the upper part of the mixing container (10).

[0069] The above-mentioned rotating roller part (134) can be formed in a conventional roller or ball shape, and can rotate when the mixing container (10) rotates while in contact with it at a certain angle corresponding to the shape of the area in contact with the mixing container (10).

[0070] That is, the above-mentioned rotating roller part (134) is provided between the above-mentioned pressurized support part (132) and the above-mentioned mixing container (10) and makes contact therewith, and when the above-mentioned mixing container (10) rotates around the above-mentioned first rotation axis (A1), the above-mentioned pressurized support part (132) can stably maintain a pressurized state without interference.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mixing container (10) is formed in a shape in which the circumference of the upper portion decreases as shown, and correspondingly, the rotating roller portion (134) is arranged at a certain angle on the pressure support portion (132).

[0072] In this way, the guide module (100) according to the present invention includes the frame unit (110), the rotation support unit (120), and the upper support unit (130), and supports the mixing container (10) so that it is seated in a preset position and can rotate stably without being detached from the seated state.

[0073] Meanwhile, the rotation module (200) is provided in the guide module (100) and selectively rotates the mixing container (10) so that a first rotation axis (A1) is formed along the vertical direction.

[0074] Specifically, the rotation module (200) is provided in the guide module (100) and is configured to rotate the mixing container (10). The mixing container (10) can be selectively rotated on the guide module (100) by rotating it while in direct contact with the mixing container (10) or by being connected to the rotation support unit (120) described above and rotating the rotation support unit (120).

[0075] In the present invention, the rotation module (200) rotates by contacting the outer surface of the mixing container (10) to rotate the mixing container (10). At this time, the rotation module (200) is provided in the frame unit (110) and has a rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis (A1) to rotate the mixing container (10).

[0076] As shown in this embodiment, the mixing container (10) is formed with a circular perimeter on the side, and the rotation module (200) is formed long along the longitudinal direction of the frame unit (110) and has a rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis (A1) and rotates by contacting the side surface of the mixing container (10).

[0077] Accordingly, the mixing container (10) rotates in the opposite direction around the first rotation axis (A1) due to friction when the rotation module (200) rotates.

[0078] Looking at it in more detail, the above rotation module (200) largely includes a driving unit (210) and a rotation unit (220), each of which has a similar appearance and is arranged in parallel on the frame unit (110).

[0079] Here, the driving unit (210) and the rotation unit (220) are formed as roller types that are formed long along the length direction of the frame unit (110), and a plurality of them are spaced apart along the width direction of the frame unit (110) and rotate together when the mixing container (10) rotates.

[0080] At this time, the rotation module (200) is composed of a driving unit (210) that selectively rotates at least one of a plurality of units spaced apart along the width direction of the frame unit (110) to provide rotational force, and the rest, excluding the driving unit (210), are composed of a rotation unit (220) that is in a free rotation state.

[0081] In this way, the rotation module (200) is composed of a plurality of rollers that are parallel to the first rotation axis (A1), each of which contacts the outer surface of the mixing container (10), and a driving unit (210) that selectively rotates one of them to provide power, thereby causing the mixing container (10) to rotate around the first rotation axis (A1).

[0082] Next, the tilting module (300) is configured to support the guide module (100) at a certain height and tilt it selectively.

[0083] Specifically, the tilting module (300) is formed to be elongated in the vertical direction and has a second rotation axis (A2) on both sides along the width direction of the guide module (100) and is rotatably coupled thereto, and optionally rotates the guide module (100) in the vertical direction to tilt the mixing container (10) in a direction intersecting the first rotation axis (A1).

[0084] In the present invention, the tilting module (300) is configured as a pair and supports the guide module (100) on both sides in the width direction, and each is coupled with the rotation shaft (114) formed in the bending portion (112). At this time, the rotation shaft (114) forms the second rotation axis (A2) and is configured to be rotatable in the tilting module (300).

[0085] And, a separate rotation motor is built into the tilting module (300) to tilt the guide module (100) up and down. At this time, the tilting module (300) rotates back and forth in the up and down direction within a preset range of rotation angles.

[0086] In this way, the tilting module (300) is configured to rotate the guide module (100) in the up-and-down direction as shown in FIG. 5, and by tilting the mixing container (10) while it is seated on the guide module (100), the mixing container (10) rotates about the first rotation axis (A1) and tilts about the second rotation axis (A2) at the same time, so that the contents inside can be stably mixed.

[0087] As described above, the mixing device according to the present invention includes the guide module (100), the rotation module (200), and the tilting module (300), and is configured to mix the contents by placing the mixing container (10) on the guide module (100) and rotating the mixing container (10) in two directions by the rotation module (200) and the tilting module (300).

[0088] Next, with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8, the operating state of the mixing device according to the present invention will be examined as follows.

[0089] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a state in which the rotating module (200) operates in the mixing device of FIG. 1 and the mixing container (10) rotates, FIG. 7 is a drawing showing a state in which the guide module (100) tilts up and down in the mixing device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 8 is a drawing showing a limit stopper (320) inside the tilting module (300) in the mixing device of FIG. 1.

[0090] The mixing device according to the present invention first installs the mixing container (10) on the guide module (100) as described above. At this time, it is preferable to install the guide module (100) in a vertically erected state as shown in Fig. 5, and the mixing container (10) is installed through the open portion at the front.

[0091] Here, the rotation support unit (120) and the upper support unit (130) are spaced apart from each other in accordance with the length of the mixing container (10) in the vertical direction, and the mixing container (10) is inserted and settled between them, thereby preventing unintentional detachment.

[0092] In addition, since the upper support unit (130) has elasticity and is configured to apply pressure in the direction of the rotation support unit (120), the mixing container (10) can be more stably applied when it is settled and the mixing container (10) can be prevented from being detached.

[0093] Thereafter, the guide module (100) rotates around the second rotation axis (A2) by the tilting module (300) and rotates upwards at a certain angle. Here, the rotation module (200) is driven together to rotate the mixing container (10) around the first rotation axis (A1) as shown in Fig. 6.

[0094] Next, the guide module (100) is repeatedly tilted up and down within a preset range while the guide module (100) is rotated at a certain angle as shown in FIG. 7.

[0095] That is, the contents in the mixing container (10) can be mixed by rotating the mixing container (10) up and down by the tilting module (300) and at the same time rotating by the rotation module (200).

[0096] Here, the tilting module (300) is switched to the operating mode by tilting upwards by 135 degrees as shown in FIG. 5 after the mixing vessel (10) is installed in a state where the guide module (100) is vertically arranged as described above, and then tilts upwards by approximately 90 degrees in the vertical direction at that position and rotates repeatedly in the vertical direction.

[0097] Accordingly, the mixing container (10) is repeatedly tilted back and forth within a range of 45 degrees in each direction.

[0098] In this embodiment, the tilting module (300) may further include a separate limit stopper (320) that prevents the guide module (100) from rotating and deviating within a preset range, as shown in FIG. 8.

[0099] At least one of the above limit stoppers (320) is provided inside the tilting module (300) and is positioned at a preset position along the circumference centered on the second rotation axis (A2).

[0100] Specifically, the limit stopper (320) is contacted by a separate catch (330) protruding radially from the rotary shaft (114) and prevents the rotary shaft (114) from rotating beyond a certain radius. As illustrated, two limit stoppers (320) are spaced apart from each other around the second rotary axis (A2) and are configured so that the catch (330) comes into contact with the rotary shaft (114) depending on the rotation angle.

[0101] Looking at (a) of Fig. 8, the guide module (100) is rotated at a certain angle from the initial state, and in this case, the catch (330) is positioned at a position that is not adjacent to the limit stopper (320), and there is no interference with the rotation.

[0102] And, looking at (b) of Fig. 8, when the guide module (100) rotates upward and rotates by a certain angle or more, the catch (330) is adjacent to or in contact with the limit stopper (320) to suppress the rotation of the rotation shaft (114).

[0103] That is, the limit stopper (320) is configured with at least one or more to prevent the guide module (100) from rotating by interfering with the rotation within a preset rotation angle range, thereby preventing a safety accident from occurring.

[0104] Meanwhile, additionally, the guide module (100) according to the present invention may further include a separate vibration generating unit (not shown) to increase the mixing effect of the contents when the mixing container (10) is rotated and tilted.

[0105] The vibration generating unit is arranged adjacent to the mixing unit in the guide module (100), and is configured to directly strike or generate vibration and transmit it to the inside of the mixing container (10), thereby applying impact to the mixing container (10) at regular intervals and generating vibration.

[0106] Accordingly, the mixing container (10) can increase the mixing speed when mixing the contents, thereby shortening the overall working time.

[0107] Next, referring to FIG. 9, a state in which a separate detection unit (310) is further included in the mixing device according to the present invention will be examined as follows.

[0108] Fig. 9 is a drawing showing the configuration of the detection unit (310) in the mixing device of Fig. 1.

[0109] In the present invention, the tilting module (300) further includes a separate detection unit (310) independent of the limit stopper (320) described above.

[0110] The above detection unit (310) is placed adjacent to the second rotation axis (A2) in the tilting module (300), and detects whether the guide module (100) rotates more than a preset rotation angle, and if this is detected, stops the rotation.

[0111] Specifically, the above-mentioned Kim Ji-yun unit is provided on at least one of both sides along the width direction of the guide module (100), and detects whether the rotation angle of the guide module (100) when rotating around the second rotation axis (A2) is outside a preset range.

[0112] Here, the detection unit (310) includes a detection unit (312) positioned adjacent to the second rotation axis (A2) in the tilting module (300) and a separate rotation protrusion (314) provided on the rotation shaft (114), and detects whether the tilting angle of the guide module (100) deviates from the preset rotation angle by determining whether the rotation protrusion (314) is detected by the detection unit (312).

[0113] Looking at it in more detail, the above-mentioned rotary protrusion (314) is formed of at least one or more protrusions protruding from the rotary shaft (114) by a certain length, and rotates together with the rotation of the rotary shaft (114) to adjust its position.

[0114] In addition, the above detection unit (312) is arranged in multiple pieces spaced apart along the circumference of the second rotation axis (A2) in the tilting module (300), detects the position of the rotation protrusion (314), and detects whether it is within a preset rotation angle.

[0115] As shown in this embodiment, the rotary projection (314) is formed to protrude from the rotary shaft (114), and correspondingly, the sensing unit (312) is formed in multiple pieces and spaced apart from each other, and is respectively positioned at the boundary portion of the rotation range of the rotary shaft (114).

[0116] In this way, the detection unit (310) according to the present invention detects whether the guide module (100) tilts up and down within a preset rotation angle range, and if it deviates from this, stops the operation of the tilting module (300), thereby preventing a safety accident from occurring.

[0117] Next, referring to FIG. 10, a modified form of the mixing device according to the present invention will be examined as follows.

[0118] Figure 10 is a drawing showing a state in which a plurality of guide modules (100) are configured in a mixing device according to the present invention.

[0119] Looking at the drawing shown, the basic configuration is similar to that described above, but the guide module (100) is configured in multiple pieces and is configured in a form in which it is arranged adjacently along the second rotation axis (A2).

[0120] And, since the mixing container (10) is installed in each of the plurality of guide modules (100), the plurality of mixing containers (10) can be mixed simultaneously with a single operation.

[0121] Specifically, the guide modules (100) are provided in multiple numbers in succession along the second rotation axis (A2) and are configured to be interconnected and operate simultaneously, and the rotation module (200) is independently provided for each of the guide modules (100).

[0122] Accordingly, a plurality of guide modules (100) and rotation modules (200) are each provided in one tilting module (300), thereby mixing a plurality of mixing containers (10) simultaneously, thereby mixing the contents more quickly and shortening the mixing time itself.

[0123] Accordingly, the mixing device according to the present invention includes a guide module (100) in which a mixing container (10) is mounted, a rotation module (200) that rotates the mixing container (10), and a tilting module (300) that tilts the guide module (100) up and down, and has the advantage of being able to suppress occurrence of defects during mixing and shorten the mixing time by mixing the contents while rotating the mixing container (10) in two directions.

[0124] As described above, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms, in addition to the embodiments described above, without departing from the spirit or scope thereof. Therefore, the above-described embodiments should be considered illustrative rather than restrictive, and accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the above description, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
