The present disclosure relates to improved magnetic mixing assemblies and mixing system. The magnetic mixing assemblies can provide improved mixing action, ease of use, and low friction. The mixing assemblies can be adapted for use with a wide variety of containers including narrower neck containers and flexible containers.

A device for mixing liquids and solids in liquids using vibration includes an electromagnetic drive, a drive shaft arranged coaxially with the electromagnetic drive, with drive shaft having a mixing member and either a permanent magnet or a magnetisable element excited by the electromagnetic drive to cause vibration for transmission to the mixing member, and a system of flat spring elements including a first spring element arranged parallel to the drive shaft and a second spring element arranged perpendicularly to the drive shaft and connected to the permanent magnet or the magnetisable element.

A wine decanter includes a housing and a variation magnetic field generator, where the variation magnetic field generator is configured to generate a variation magnetic field, and the variation magnetic field generator generates the variation magnetic field, so that a movement component that can sense a magnetic field moves in wine to make the wine move, thereby increasing contact between the wine and air. The decanting device includes a wine container, a movement component, and the decanter according to any one of the foregoing, where the movement component is placed inside the wine container, the decanter is connected to the movement component by using a magnetic field, and the decanter generates a variation magnetic field to drive the movement component to perform decanting. The structure of the decanter is simplified, thereby facilitating miniaturization, and making it convenient to carry the decanter, and also reducing noises.

A mixing system typically for use in a container for mixing its contents, the mixing system including a cap unit, an extension unit and a magnetic mixing unit that is attached to the cap unit by the extension unit. The magnetic mixing unit can be folded to permit insertion and/or removal of the system via a mouth of the container. The extension unit and magnetic mixing unit connect via a hinge formed by upper and lower hinge portions that meet at a pivot point. The hinge portions extend from the pivot point along a first axis. The magnetic mixing unit includes a first magnetic elongate member that extends from the lower hinge portion along a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and a second magnetic elongate member that extends from the lower hinge portion along the second axis in the opposite direction relative to the first elongate member. The magnetic member(s) may be provided by a plastic coated magnetic stir bar.

A modular stirrer having a drive unit, a stirrer unit, and a magnetic coupling. The magnetic coupling is arranged between the drive unit and the stirrer unit and has a cylindrical cavity, drive magnets as well as stirrer unit magnets, and the drive magnets are connected to the drive unit and the stirrer unit magnets are connected to the stirrer unit and arranged radially about the cavity. The cavity is open at the opposite end in the opened state of the magnetic coupling, and the drive magnets may be inserted into the cavity of the magnetic coupling for closing the magnetic coupling for coupling of drive unit and stirrer unit and may be arranged in a plane one with the stirrer unit magnets. The magnetic coupling has a quick-release closure, which closes the cavity upon closing the magnetic coupling and creates a connection of drive unit and stirrer unit.

Problem: A mixing device is provided which can solve problems resulting from friction between a vessel and a stirrer, which can generate a circulatory flow even below the stirrer, and which allows a desired number of stirrers to be arranged at desired positions. A discharge device provided with the mixing device, and a discharge method are also provided. Solution: The mixing device includes a stirrer incorporating a magnet, a stirrer holding mechanism that specifies a position of the stirrer by exerting a magnetic force on the stirrer from the lateral side, and a rotation mechanism that rotates the stirrer holding mechanism, wherein the rotation mechanism rotates the stirrer holding mechanism, thereby rotating the stirrer. The discharge device includes the mixing device, and the discharge method is carried out using the discharge device.
