Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a rotary classifier and a vertical mill, a rotary separator ( 33 ) is configured such that plural rotary blades ( 43 ) are fixed to an outer circumference portion at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction between an upper support frame ( 41 ) and a lower support frame ( 42 ), which have a disk-like shape, wherein a tilted surface ( 52 ), which tilts at an acute angle relative to a tangent line (T) to a rotation locus (G 1 ) on an outer circumference side and includes a concave portion ( 51 ) formed between an outer end ( 43 a ) and an inner end ( 43 b ), is formed on a front surface of each of the rotary blades ( 43 ) in a rotating direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A rotary classifier comprising: a frame body that is rotatable and includes an opening on an outer circumference portion; and a plurality of rotary blades fixed to the opening of the frame body at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction, wherein each of the plurality of rotary blades includes a tilted surface that tilts at an acute angle relative to a tangent line to a rotation locus at an outer circumference side and that includes a concave portion formed between an outer end and inner end, the tilted surface being formed on a front surface of the rotary blade in a rotating direction, the tilted surface includes a first tilted surface which is flat and located close to the outer end, and a second tilted surface which is flat and located close to the inner end, the tilted surface includes a bent line along a vertical direction between the first tilted surface and the second tilted surface, the bent line is located midway between the rotation locus at the outer circumference side and a rotation locus at an inner circumference side of the rotary blade, and a tilt angle of the first tilted surface relative to the tangent line is set to be larger than a tilt angle of the second tilted surface relative to the tangent line. 2. The rotary classifier according to claim 1 , wherein an angle made by the first tilted surface and the second tilted surface is set to be less than 180 degrees. 3. The rotary classifier according to claim 1 , wherein the tilted surface includes a curved surface that is curved from the outer end to the inner end. 4. A vertical mill comprising: a hollow housing; a mill table having a rotation axis along a vertical direction and supported to be driven to rotate at a lower part of the housing; a mill roller arranged opposite to the mill table above the mill table and supported to be rotatable; and a rotary classifier that is provided at an upper part of the housing and that classifies milled materials, wherein each of a plurality of rotary blades mounted on an outer circumference of the rotary classifier includes a tilted surface that tilts at an acute angle relative to a tangent line to a rotation locus at an outer circumference side and that has a concave portion formed between an outer end and an inner end, the tilted surface being formed on a front surface of each of the rotary blades in a rotating direction, the tilted surface includes a first tilted surface which is flat and located close to the outer end, and a second tilted surface which is flat and located close to the inner end, the tilted surface includes a bent line along a vertical direction between the first tilted surface and the second tilted surface, the bent line is located midway between the rotation locus at the outer circumference side and a rotation locus at an inner circumference side of the rotary blade, and a tilt angle of the first tilted surface relative to the tangent line is set to be larger than a tilt angle of the second tilted surface relative to the tangent line.
