DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0047] This invention relates to a Special improvement kit or package to heavy duty grinders for processing thick wastes and slick wipes in commercial and residential applications and use called a Gorilla Grinder. Particularly this invention relates generally to grinder pumps and waste disposers and, more particularly, to a pump or waste disposer having a variable speed motor such as a switched reluctance machine. The pump with the improved grinder kit relates to an apparatus that grinds or mills materials and more specifically, the invention relates to an inline apparatus and grinding mechanism that grinds or mills process materials. The grinder pump kit is effective for pumping liquids and slurries containing solid matter, including various types of refuse, and for the improved grinding of the solid matter which thereafter can be processed for disposal. This relates to improvements in pumping apparatus and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a disintegrator pump for liquefying solid matter, such as waste products, or the like, for facilitating the draining or discharging thereof. Jamming is a problem that can occur in grinder pumps and disposers. Jamming occurs when hard objects such as needles, inorganic matter or bones enter the pump and get stuck between the cutters or lugs of the rotating grinding plate. Accordingly, a unit having a variable speed motor or a reversible motor improves the performance. The motor current will increase to produce a maximum torque and the motor speed can decrease to zero instantly and reverse direction. In this anti-jamming mode, a maximum current is reached, which helps relieve the jam.

Operation of the Preferred Embodiment

[0072] The Special improvement package to heavy duty grinders for processing thick wastes and slick wipes in commercial and residential applications and use called a Gorilla Grinder 30 has been described in the above embodiment. The manner of how the device operates is described below. One notes well that the description above and the operation described here must be taken together to fully illustrate the concept of the Gorilla Grinder improvement kit 30. The preferred embodiment of the Special improvement package or kit 30 to heavy duty grinders for processing thick wastes and slick wipes in commercial and residential applications and use called a Gorilla Grinder that is comprised of: (a) a two directional cutter 40 with at least two cutter blades and each blade having a two blade cutter 42 edge; (b) a multi aperture die cup 47; (c) a shaft 60 for pump 90 with means to permit two-directional rotation such as at least one keyway (for cutter and for the drive connection), splines or equal; (d) an IGBT—insulated gate bipolar transistor 70 for mimicking three phase drive to a motor stator 50 on the pump 90; (e) a control board/panel with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) 75 and an accompanying set of circuitry and wiring 76 to interconnect the IGBT 70 to a three phase stator winding 50; (f) the a three phase stator winding 50; and (g) an optional strainer vessel 80 wherein the improvement package and kit 30 for heavy duty grinders provides a grinding solution for contamination including common household trash, a contraband material used in methamphetamine and opioid addictions, a fibrous product including wet wipes with nylon products, and heavy materials that can cause a typical grinding system to be “jetted” which requires continual maintenance and costly repairs.

[0073] Current Typical grinders: Grinder under current condition uses single phase power typical in most residences. There are single phase pumps which utilize a forward reversing action but not in a VFD application which is using a 3/phase drive for rotations, speed, torque requirements to deliver a varying head to gallons per/min. The usual outcome history-ically with existing pumps/controls is component failure and often pump failures. Using current technology and controls engineering the proposal is an improvement kit which applies both mechanical and electrical controls. Mechanical: Using proposed grinder blade and disc with mechanical keyway or spline to permit two-directional movement. Electrical: using designed three phase stator integrated with VFD Variable frequency control (with an IGBT or equal) to permit: Variable Torque, Current, and Speed.

[0074] By re-designing the impeller shaft of a typical stator where the shaft would accept a bidirectional blade the rotation of the motor would be reversible. Applying this concept in the event of a clog whether it be from wipes etc. the control system would acknowledge a high current, immediately slow rpm, or stall motor. Wait for cool down/motor stress time then reverse. If a pump encounters certain factors: High Current or High temperature in windings, the motor will stop, wait a period, and reverse again. Most of the time the reversing agitating effect will loosen the blockage. This action would be repeated several times until normal set parameters were obtained. If unachievable then the pump would go into warning mode. Items in the improvement kit which are new to Industry: [0075] 1. Application of variable frequency drive (VFD) in a single-phase residential setting which would utilize IGBT technology to fire the motor as a three-phase stator accordingly. [0076] 2. Stator redesign to a three-phase design and compacted to accommodate existing pump body size for Original Equipment and Replacement/Aftermarket applications. [0077] 3. Cutting component and die cup re-design. [0078] 4. Rotor shaft redesign to allow reversing action w/o loosening impeller. [0079] 5. Control panel and programming PLC accordingly for the three-phase mimic controller such as the IGBT or equal.

[0080] The Special improvement package 30 to heavy duty grinders for processing thick wastes and slick wipes in commercial and residential applications allows the grinder pump to stop, reverse direction, and then have variable speed and torque to remove the jamming materials or slick, flushable wipes. It may even agitate first in one direction, reverse, and go the opposite direction for several cycles. This control is al designed in the control board/panel, PLC 75. It permits the grinder pump to free itself of the jamb rather than needing removed, disassembled, and jetted with pressured water to remove the blockage(s). The two-way, bi-directional blades are secured with mechanical keys and keyways between the shaft and cutters and the drive rather than the one-directional threaded jamb nuts of the traditional grinder. The system may be augmented with a strainer basket 80 for applications that see an increased amount of inorganic or metal drug-paraphernalia.

[0081] In the event of sabotage the controls would act as a defense to the point of after so many failed attempts a wireless warning could summon proper responders. This could be useful in military or private industry settings where security is paramount. Therefore, the improvement package 30 allows for a defense to the point of after so many failed attempts a wireless warning could summon proper responders in the act of sabotage. And, traditionally, most residents will have a “forced main” head flow resistance. With the improvement package 30, a higher head could be achieved by an increase in rpm and therefore provides a higher head that can be achieved by an increase in RPM to the pump which overcomes the residents “forced main” head flow.

[0082] Many uses are anticipated for the Special improvement package to heavy duty grinders for processing thick wastes and slick wipes in commercial and residential applications and use called a Gorilla Grinder 30 improvement kit. It is fully expected that the Gorilla grinder kit 30 can be adapted for the various one directional, single speed and less powerful grinder pumps already being used (i.e., manufacturers such as Zoeller, Ashland, Champion, McDonald, Sulzer, Franklin, Pentair, Meyers, Barnes, Liberty, etc.). Some examples of typical applications and uses, strictly as examples and not as limitations, are shown in the following Table.

Accordingly, the subject matter recited in the claims is not coextensive with and should not be interpreted to be coextensive with any particular embodiment, feature, or combination of features shown herein. This is true even if only a single embodiment of the particular feature or combination of features is illustrated and described herein. Thus, the appended claims should be read to be given their broadest interpretation in view of the prior art and the ordinary meaning of the claim terms.

[0088] Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers or expressions, such as those expressing dimensions, physical characteristics, etc. used in the specification (other than the claims) are understood as modified in all instances by the term “approximately.” At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the claims, each numerical parameter recited in the specification or claims which is modified by the term “approximately” should at least be construed considering the number of recited significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.

[0089] The present invention contemplates modifications as would occur to those skilled in the art. While the disclosure has been illustrated and described in detail in the figures and the foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only selected embodiments have been shown and described and that all changes, modifications, and equivalents that come within the spirit of the disclosures described heretofore and or/defined by the following claims are desired to be protected.
