Abstract
Abstract In a classifier including a rotary disc provided on a lower end of a vertical rotary shaft depending from the top of a hopper-type casing, a horizontal dispersing disc is provided directly below the top of the casing, a circular collision plate is spaced from the outer circumference of the horizontal dispersing disc, and a plurality of vortex adjusting members are secured at their upper ends to the horizontal dispersing disc and at their lower ends to the rotary disc, and a leakage prevention apparatus is provided which comprises a plurality of dispersing and classifying vanes spaced from the outside of the vortex adjusting members and the inner sides of the collision plate. The dispersing and classifying vanes depend from the under surface of the horizontal dispersing disc for an appropriate length. Furthermore, the leakage prevention apparatus can also comprise a ring for preventing the introduction of coarse powder which is provided on the outer circumference of the horizontal dispersing disc, the ring depending from the under surface of such horizontal dispersing disc for an appropriate length.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
In a classifier comprising a hopper-typed casing having a substantially cylindrical upper portion and a substantially cone-shaped lower portion, a vertical rotary shaft depending from the center of the casing, a rotary disc disposed in the vicinity of the lower end of the cylindrical portion of the casing and mounted on the end of the vertical rotary shaft, a horizontal dispersing disc provided directly below the top of the casing, a plurality of vertical guide vanes provided spaced from the outside of the horizontal dispersing disc and inwardly spaced from one or a plurality of air inlets extended tangentially to the cylindrical portion of the casing to form a classifying chamber with the rotary disc and the horizontal dispersing disc, a circular collision plate spaced from the outside of the horizontal dispersing disc in the upper portion of the classifying chamber, a plurality of vortex adjusting members provided on the same circumference in the classifying chamber and secured at their one ends to the rotary disc and at their other ends to the horizontal dispersing disc, and a fine powder discharge pipe provided on the upper portion of the casing to communicate into the inner side of the vortex adjusting members in the classifying chamber; the classifier having a leakage prevention apparatus characterized by a plurality of dispersing and classifying vanes spaced from the outside of the vortex adjusting members and inwardly spaced from the collision plate and having their upper ends secured on the under surface of the horizontal dispersing disc.
