  • Patent number: 6527431
    Abstract: A combined mixing and injecting device includes a housing having a pressure chamber and containing two plungers with one being sleeved around the other. The plungers have top ends formed with pistons which respectively extend into upper and lower chambers of the pressure chamber to be operated by a fluid, and bottom ends with tapering end faces extending into a bottom space below the lower chamber to perform a camming action. A mixer disposed below the housing includes a mixing chamber and valve units having valve stems respectively controlled by actuating elements which in turn are managed by the camming action of the plungers. The valve stems are connected to slide seats slidable along radial directions and spaced apart around the housing. The actuating elements actuate the slide seats so that the valve stems are operated to open or close inlet holes communicated with the mixing chamber.
