Radial Knife Emulsification Grinder for Viscous Fluid Precision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional grinders face challenges in achieving precise grinding of fluid materials due to space constraints and uneven material distribution, leading to inefficiencies and resistance issues, especially with syrupy materials.
Innovation Solution
An emulsification grinder design featuring a feeder module, grinding wheel assembly with radially arranged knives on both upper and lower wheels, and a driver module, where the material is pushed through a minimized gap between the wheels to ensure even cutting and grinding without flow-back resistance, utilizing a turntable with annular recessions and troughs to enhance material flow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple knives are axially connected in series to achieve precise grinding, then grinding precision is improved, but device volume increases and space utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from axial arrangement of knives to radial arrangement on a rotating turntable. This dimensional change allows multiple knives to be distributed around the circumference rather than stacked along the axis, achieving precise grinding through radial positioning while significantly reducing the axial volume of the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The grinding function is segmented into multiple radial knives distributed around the turntable perimeter. Each knife independently processes material as it passes through the gap, achieving comprehensive grinding precision through distributed segmentation rather than sequential axial arrangement.
2Productivity
If material is flung by centrifugal force to the knives, then grinding coverage is improved, but material distribution becomes uneven and resistance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary pushing mechanism (such as a pushing member or structured gap) that guides material flow between the turntable and knives. This intermediary ensures uniform material distribution to the knives without relying solely on centrifugal force, preventing flow-back and resistance while maintaining comprehensive grinding coverage.
3Volume of moving object
If the gap between grinding wheels is reduced to minimize volume, then device compactness is improved, but material flow resistance increases for syrupy materials
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different local qualities to different regions of the gap structure. The gap is minimized in the radial direction for compactness, while the axial dimension incorporates pushing structures or flow-guiding features that reduce resistance. This local differentiation allows simultaneous achievement of compactness and reduced flow resistance for viscous materials.

AI summary
The emulsification grinder includes a feeder module, a grinding wheel assembly and a driver module. The grinding wheel assembly separately connects the feeder module and driver module and includes an upper grinding wheel, a lower grinding wheel and a turntable. The upper grinding wheel is radially formed with knives. The lower grinding wheel corresponds to the upper grinding wheel at an interval and has a receiving room and knives. The turntable is received in the receiving room.
