Abstract
A mixing unit includes a mixing body having mixing elements that are stacked in a stacking direction and that extend in an extending direction in which the extending direction is perpendicular to the stacking direction. The mixing elements have a plurality of through holes to form a flow path therein, and are arranged such that part or all of the through holes in one of the mixing elements communicate with through holes in the adjacent mixing elements to allow fluid to be passed in the extending direction in which the mixing elements extend. The mixing unit may be employed in an agitation impeller or an adhesive dispensing unit.
Claims20
A mixing unit comprising:
- a mixing body including a plurality of mixing elements that are stacked in a stacking direction and that extend in an extending direction;
- wherein the mixing elements include a plurality of through holes to form a flow path therein and are arranged such that part or all of the through holes in one of the mixing elements, whose upper surface is in contact with another mixing element and whose lower surface is in contact with another mixing element, communicate with through holes in the adjacent mixing elements to allow fluid to be passed and divided in the extending direction in which the mixing elements extend;
- and
- wherein the extending direction is perpendicular to the stacking direction.
An agitation impeller comprising:
- a mixing unit connected to a rotation shaft provided with a suction port and a discharge port for a fluid,
- wherein a flow path connecting the suction port and the discharge port is provided within the mixing unit,
- wherein the suction port is disposed at a position on a rotation axis of the rotation shaft or at a position close to the rotation axis, and
- wherein the discharge port is disposed at a position more outside than the suction port relative to the rotation axis, and
- a nozzle for sucking the fluid is disposed at the suction port.
