VIBRATORY MIXER Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture, combined feed, chemical, construction material, food-processing and other branches of industry. SUBSTANCE: vibratory mixer has working tool, eccentric vibration exciter, flexible members made in the form of leaf springs extending perpendicular to eccentric exciter connecting rods. Leaf springs are positioned in parallel one with the other and fixed to ends of carrier frame of working tool. Working tool is made in the form of open cylindrical trough with one end wall. Connecting rods of eccentric vibration exciter have similar eccentricity and are arranged at one side of working tool in parallel one with the other and perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Attachments of connecting rods of eccentric vibration exciter are arranged so that distance between them exceeds distance between ends of carrier frame and between each of them by two times. Vibration angle β exceeds 0 deg but is less than 90 deg, and inclination angle α_н of working tool with respect to horizontal plane exceeds or is equal to 0 deg, but is less than or equal to angle α₀ of rest of material to be mixed. Such construction provides stable vibration of working tool. Mixer may be used for mixing and conveyance of bulk materials in various branches of industries. EFFECT: increased efficiency, simplified construction and enhanced reliability in operation. 4 cl, 2 dwg
