Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dynamic mixer having two or more inlets arranged at an inlet side of the dynamic mixer and an outlet arranged at an outlet side of the dynamic mixer, wherein the mixing element of the dynamic mixer is configured to be coupled to a drive shaft to drive the mixing element about a longitudinal axis of the mixing element.
  • the invention further relates to a dispensing assembly comprising a dispenser, a cartridge, optionally filed with a multi-component material, received in the dispenser and a dynamic mixer and to a method of dispensing multi-component material from a cartridge using a dynamic mixer.
  • Dynamic mixers respectively mixing tips, as they are also known as, are used to mix multi-component material dispensed from a multi-component cartridge.
  • Such mixers are used in a plethora of fields of application ranging from industrial applications, such as the use of adhesives to bond structural components one to another, or as protective coatings for buildings or vehicles, to medical and dental applications, for example, to make dental molds.
  • the multi-component material is, for example, a two-component adhesive comprising a filler material and a hardener.
  • a two-component adhesive comprising a filler material and a hardener.
  • the multi-component material has to be thoroughly mixed.
  • the dynamic mixers are structured to repeatedly divide and recombine part flows of the multi-component material to thoroughly mix the multi-component material.
  • EP0135219A1 discloses a dynamic mixer as per the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a dynamic mixer may have two or more inlets arranged at an inlet side of the dynamic mixer and an outlet arranged at an outlet side of the dynamic mixer, wherein the mixing element of the dynamic mixer is configured to be coupled to a drive shaft via a coupling to drive the mixing element about a longitudinal axis of the mixing element, the mixing element comprising a rotor body and a two or more rows of rotor blades projecting radially from the rotor body away from the longitudinal axis between the rotor body, with a first row of rotor blades being arranged closer to the two or more inlets than the second row of rotor blades, the dynamic mixer further comprising a housing accommodating the mixing element, wherein an area between two directly adjacent rotor blades of the first row of rotor blades, the rotor body and the housing is an open area at a mixing inlet end, wherein each of the inlets is formed by a passage having an inlet opening and a mixer entry opening, with the inlet opening being remote from the rot
  • the slice of the first component is then brought into contact with a slice of the second component of the multi-component material if a two-component material is to be mixed with the dynamic mixer, this process is repeated several times as the mixing element rotates further to mix the respective components.
  • Such slices of uniform shapes and size also reduces the pressure loss within the dynamic mixer as less air pockets are caught between pairs of rotor blades.
  • volume of space within a dynamic mixer having such inlets can be reduced such that the waste volume can be reduced with such dynamic mixers.
  • dynamic mixers having such inlets can yield an improvement of efficiency of up to 20% in comparison to prior art dynamic mixers.
  • dynamic mixers can be produced in an injection molding process and also in a 3D printing process.
  • the mixer inlet area may be the area of the opening of the inlet passage at the end of the passage directly adjacent to the rotor blades.
  • the open area may be the area between two rotor blades that are arranged next to one another, specifically in the region of the mixer inlet area.
  • the mixer inlet area may be less than twice the open area. If the mixer inlet area is selected too large, then more material may be retained in the dynamic mixer which increases the residual waste volume present in the dynamic mixer.
  • Each inlet may have a cross-sectional size and/or shape that may change between the inlet opening and the mixer entry opening, with the inlet opening optionally having a circular shape.
  • the mixer entry opening can be formed such that it has a shape and size that is ideally suited for forming as uniform as possible slices of multi-component material between two directly adjacent rotor blades to obtain as good as possible mixing results and to reduce the pressure loss within the dynamic mixer.
  • a variation of the cross-sectional size may in some embodiments be a continuous increase or decrease in size or also a variation between increase and decrease in size over the length of the passage.
  • a variation in the shape of the cross-section may in some embodiments be a change from a circular cross-section of the passage to that of a ring segment, or from circular to polygonal or the like.
  • the inlet opening may have an inlet area that is smaller than the mixer inlet area of the mixer entry opening.
  • Different cartridges have different outlet sizes and in order to obtain as good a mixing result as possible it may be beneficial to increase the diameter of the flow of the respective component exiting the multi-component cartridge so that the ideal amount of multi-component material can be made available at the mixer entry opening.
  • the tooling required for the production of the inlets can be simplified as the inlets can be easily removed e.g. from an injection mold if they have a shape which reduces in size between two ends of the inlets.
  • the inlet opening may thus be the opening into the dynamic mixer that is furthest away from the outlet opening and that is arranged at the end of the passage forming the inlet into the dynamic mixer.
  • the cross-sectional size of the inlet may increase, in particular continuously increases, between the inlet opening and the mixer entry opening. In this way a particularly good flow of the multi-component material can be achieved in the respective inlet leading to a reduced pressure loss within the dynamic mixer.
  • the change in size and/or shape of the respective inlet passage is selected in dependence on a size of the outlet of a corresponding cartridge or the like connected to the inlet of the dynamic mixer and the actual size of the housing and the mixing element arranged within the housing of the dynamic mixer.
  • the inlet opening may be arranged in parallel to the mixer entry opening, optionally with the inlet opening and the mixer entry opening being arranged in parallel with an outlet opening of the outlet, i.e. the inlet opening and the mixer entry opening are arranged at an angle of 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis. In this way an as uniform as possible flow of material can be made available at the mixer entry opening which improves the mixing results of the multi-component material.
  • the inlet opening may be arranged inclined with respect to the mixer entry opening at angles of less than 60°, preferably less than 45° with respect to the longitudinal axis, whereas the mixer entry opening is then still arranged at an angle of 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis.
  • the mixer entry opening may have a curved shape in a cross-section thereof, in particular wherein the mixer entry opening has one of an arc shape and a shape resembling a ring shaped section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the ring shaped section having inner and outer curved side surfaces and planar side surfaces.
  • Forming the mixer entry opening in this way means that it is adapted such that it resembles the space present between two rotor blades of the first row of rotor blades ensuring that an as uniform as possible slice of multi-component material is entrained by the pair of rotor blades every time a pair of rotor blades passes the respective mixer entry opening.
  • the rotor body may comprise three or four or more rows of rotor blades arranged one after the other along the longitudinal axis of the mixing element, with the first row of the three or four or more rows of rotor blades being able to be arranged directly adjacent to the mixer entry opening, the second row of the three or four or more rows of rotor blades being able to be arranged between the first and the third or fourth or more rows of rotor blades and the third or fourth or further row of rotor blades being able to be arranged closer to the outlet than the first row of rotor blades.
  • a row of stator blades may be arranged between at least one of the rows of the two or more rows of rotor blades, optionally with a row of stator blades being able to be arranged between each row of the two or more rows of rotor blades, and/or optionally with the stator blades being arranged at an inner surface of the housing.
  • two rows of stator blades that are arranged directly adjacent to one another with a gap therebetween may be considered a single row of stator blades provided the height of the two rows of stator blades is less than a height of the adjacent rows of rotor blades.
  • two rows of rotor blades that are arranged directly adjacent to one another with a gap therebetween may be considered a single row of rotor blades provided that the height of the two rotor blades arranged directly adjacent to one another does not exceed 400% of a height of a directly adjacent stator blade.
  • the third and optionally the fourth row of rotor blades may have a different axial position and/or outer size along the longitudinal axis of the mixing element with respect to the first row of rotor blades.
  • the rotor body may reduce in diameter along the longitudinal axis between the first row of rotor blades and the outlet. By reducing the size of the rotor body one can direct the flow of the rotating multi-component material onto a single flow path so that the mixed multi-component material can exit the outlet on the shortest possible flow path to minimize the residual waste in the dynamic mixer.
  • the rotor body may have a front end in the region of the mixer entry opening and a rear end in the region of the outlet, wherein the rotor body may have a conical outer shape at a rear end thereof, with rotor blades projecting therefrom, optionally with third and/or fourth rows of rotor blades projecting therefrom.
  • a conical outer shape enables the formation of particularly short flow paths for the multi-component material.
  • the coupling may be formed at or in the rotor body. By forming the coupling in or at the rotor body the coupling can be integrally produced therewith reducing the number of components of a dynamic mixer.
  • the first row of rotor blades may comprise more rotor blades than the third row of rotor blades.
  • the rotor body is formed such that the diameter of the rotor body reduces between the inlets and the outlets, the reduction in the number of rotor blades at the thinner part of the rotor body ensures a reduction in the size of the flow path of the multi-component material leading to less air volume present in the dynamic mixer in which waste material can be left behind.
  • the size of the flow path reduces, in particular continuously reduces between the mixer inlet area and the outlet.
  • rotor blades in particular half as many rotor blades, may be provided in the third row of rotor blades as rotor blades may be provided in the first row of rotor blades, optionally with as many rotor blades being able to be provided in the second row of rotor blades as are provided in the first row of rotor blades. In this way a particularly beneficial design of the dynamic mixer can be achieved.
  • the number of stator blades is typically selected to create the best possible shear forces on the rotating multi-component material to achieve beneficial mixing results for this reason the number of stator blades may be equal to or less than the number of rotor blades.
  • a height in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first row of rotor blades may be at least 5 mm, preferably at least 6 mm. Selecting a height of less than 5 mm results in reduced quality mixing results which is not desirable.
  • a height of the stator blades arranged directly adjacent to a rotor blade is less than a height of the rotor blades measured in parallel to the longitudinal axis, in particular wherein a height of the stator blades may be less than half a height of the directly adjacent rotor blade.
  • the present invention relates to a dispensing assembly comprising a dispenser, a cartridge, optionally filed with a multi-component material, received in the dispenser and a dynamic mixer, wherein the dispenser comprises a drive shaft that can be coupled to the mixing element of the dynamic mixer to drive the mixing element about a longitudinal axis of the mixing element on dispensing said multi-component material from said cartridge.
  • the multi-component material stored in the dynamic mixer may be mixed with particularly advantageous mixing results.
  • the multi-component cartridge can thus be filled with materials selected from the group of members consisting of topical medications, medical fluids, wound care fluids, cosmetic and/or skin care preparations, dental fluids, veterinary fluids, adhesive fluids, disinfectant fluids, protective fluids, paints and combinations of the foregoing.
  • Such fluids and hence the dispensing assembly can therefore be expediently used in the treatment of target areas such as the nose (e.g. anti-histaminic creams etc.), ears, teeth (e.g. molds for implants or buccal applications (e.g. aphtas, gum treatment, mouth sores etc.), eyes (e.g. the precise deposition of drugs on eyelids (e.g. chalazion, infection, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics etc.), lips (e.g. herpes), mouth, skin (e.g.

  • a diameter of the flow of material is expanded in the direction towards said mixing element 20 of the dynamic mixer 10 between the inlets 12 and the mixing element 20, in order to reduce the flow speed of the multi-component material M, M' for an improvement of the mixing quality.
  • passages 74 are provided between different rows of rotor blades 30, 56, these can further improve the mixing results of the mixed multi-component material M, M' as the flow of material can be interrupted at further dedicated positions introducing further vortices to bring about a momentary stop of the flow of the multi-component material M, M' which ensures an improved through mixing of the multi-component material M, M'.
