However, although the above-mentioned conventional classifying device can reduce the agglomeration of the solid substance in the dispersion chamber, a plurality of slanting members are inclined around the upper outside of the classifying chamber like the conventional classifying device. It is not relatively easy to arrange the guide vanes in a ring shape and to provide a secondary air inflow path between the adjacent guide vanes, increasing the adjustment factor, increasing the switching work time due to the adhesion of solid substances to the guide vanes, etc. I have a problem. Further, the problems of the conventional classifying device can be roughly divided into two. One of the problems is to improve the dispersibility of the solid substance supplied to the dispersion chamber. It is ideal that each of the supplied solid substances immediately passes through the dispersion chamber and is guided to the classification chamber where it undergoes the separation action, but it descends while swirling in the dispersion chamber and the upper part of the classification chamber. In this case, the particles continue to swirl and stay, and the particles of the solid substance may interact with each other to form an agglomerate, resulting in a decrease in classification accuracy.
Another issue is the improvement of classification accuracy in the classification room.
Solid particles are guided from the dispersion chamber to the classification chamber.Ideal classification means that all solid substances with a desired particle size or more are recovered to the coarse powder recovery side, and solid substances with a desired particle size or less are recovered to the fine powder recovery side. Is to be done. However, in an actual classification device, a solid substance having a desired particle size or more may be recovered to the fine powder recovery side, and a solid substance having a desired particle size or less may be recovered to the coarse powder recovery side. At present, there is such a classification error. Therefore, there is a demand for a classifying device with a small classification error and a sharp distribution.

Further, by providing a ring-shaped member having a predetermined thickness and a predetermined diameter in the lower part of the conical member, the flow in the lower part of the conical member is changed so that the flow to the center of the conical member is changed.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing the structure of a classification apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 8 indicate the same components. As a different element, the classification apparatus of this embodiment has a retention prevention member 11 in the exhaust pipe 2 for discharging the ultrafine powder in the dispersion chamber 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the retention preventing means 11 is installed in contact with the exhaust pipe 2 of the dispersion chamber 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the solid substance supplied to the dispersion chamber 3 descends while swirling in the dispersion chamber 3 and is guided to the classification chamber 9 as shown in FIG. Retention prevention means 11 at the upper part
Prevents the solid substance from aggregating. That is, since the retention preventing means 11 is provided, the exhaust pipe 2
The flow around is changed and the retention of solid material is reduced. Further, the supplied solid substance collides with the retention preventing member 11 to act to disperse the agglomerated particles and improve the dispersibility of the solid substance in the dispersion chamber 3. In addition, although the retention means 11 in this embodiment has a rectangular plate shape, it is not limited to this, and needless to say, it may have a curved shape.

Further, a flow having a distribution is formed in the inside of the classification chamber of the conventional classification device shown in FIG. 9, and particularly near the lower wall surface of the conical member, the speed is higher than in other places. Therefore, the solid substance introduced into the classification chamber is easily guided to the central portion of the classification device. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the ring-shaped member 12 is provided below the conical member 7 provided at the upper part of the classification chamber 9 so that the solid substance to be recovered to the coarse powder recovery side is fine powder recovery side. This reduces the classification accuracy, changes the flow along the wall surface, and prevents the action of a solid substance having a particle size to be guided to the coarse powder recovery side being guided to the fine powder recovery side. In addition, this ring-shaped member 1
The shape of 2 is not particularly limited, but a perfect circular shape is particularly preferable.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, by providing a plurality of ring-shaped members 12 below the conical member 7 provided in the upper part of the classification chamber 9, the flow along the wall surface is further changed,
It is possible to further prevent the action of the solid substance having the particle size to be guided to the coarse powder recovery side being guided to the fine powder recovery side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the ring-shaped member 1
The height h of 2 was set to 1/2 or less of the height H of the classification chamber 9 (see FIG. 1). The ring-shaped member 1 is set in this way.
This is because if the height of 2 is too high, the flow in the classification chamber will change significantly, and problems such as a decrease in the recovery rate of the solid substance will occur, so that the flow in the classification chamber 9 will not change significantly. The height h of the ring-shaped member 12 can be changed according to the classification conditions.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the ring-shaped member 1
The thickness d of 2 was 30% or less of the lower radius a (see FIG. 4) of the conical member 7. What is set in this way is that if the thickness of the ring-shaped member 12 is too thick, like the condition of height,
This is because the flow inside the classification chamber changes significantly and problems such as a decrease in the recovery rate of solid substances occur. The thickness d of the ring-shaped member 12 can be changed according to the classification conditions.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the ring-shaped member 12
The diameter b is equal to or larger than the diameter c of the lower convex portion of the conical member 7. The reason for this setting is that even if the diameter is set to be equal to or smaller than the diameter c of the lower convex portion of the conical member 7, the flow along the wall surface does not change significantly, and as a result, the movement of the solid substance also hardly changes. This is because the solid substance having the particle size to be guided to the coarse powder recovery side cannot obtain the effect of preventing the action to be guided to the fine powder recovery side.

The outer side and / or the inner side of the ring-shaped member 12 shown by arrow C in FIG.
The reason for this setting is that the flow easily stagnates at the mounting portion where the ring-shaped member 12 is provided at the bottom of the conical member 7, and solid substances tend to accumulate during continuous operation, reducing the recovery rate. This is to prevent problems such as poor cleanability.
