Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a transportation container for powder and granular materials, and particularly to a transportation container used in a line having a process of mixing a plurality of raw materials.

FIG. 1 shows a conventional transport container of this type. Reference numeral 1 denotes a sealable transport container body, and a lid 3 for closing an input port 2 is attached to the ceiling, and a butterfly valve 5 for opening and closing an outlet 4 at the bottom is attached. 6 is a chute plate provided on the transport container body 1.
For example, if two raw materials A and B are mixed uniformly to make a raw material (A+B) and this (A+B) is to be transported, transport container A as shown in Figure 1 will contain two raw materials A and B. Since it is not possible to uniformly mix the raw materials in a short time, conventionally the V-shaped mixer B as shown in Figure 2 is used to mix the raw materials, and after the mixing is completed, the raw materials are transferred again to the transport container A in Figure 1 before being transported. has been done. To explain the above process in detail, first, V
Mixer B is stopped with the input port 7 facing up as shown by the imaginary line in Figure 2, and the raw materials A and B are input.After the input is completed, the butterfly valve 8 is closed and the rotating shaft 9 is rotated for a predetermined period of time. is rotated in the direction of arrow C to perform mixing, and when the mixing is completed, it is stopped at the solid line position in FIG. 2, the butterfly valve 8 is opened, and the container is transferred to the transportation container A in FIG. 1.

The object of the present invention is to provide a container for transporting powder and granular materials that can be mixed in a short time and does not require any transfer from a mixer to a transport container as in the past when transporting mixed raw materials.

The container for transporting powder and granular material of the present invention has a columnar shape in which the outer periphery of the end surface is widened from the top to the center and narrowed from the center to the bottom, inside the main body of the transport container, which can be sealed. By providing columnar bodies connected to opposing inner peripheral surfaces of the container body and rotating the transportation container body around a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the columnar body,
It is characterized by being able to mix and transport in a short time and without transferring from the mixer to the transport container.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 3 to 7. Components having the same functions as those in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted.

0 is a columnar body located at the center of the transport container body 1,
It has a cylindrical shape with a diamond-shaped cross section, and the ends 11a, 11
b is the opposing inner circumferential surface 12a, 1 of the transport container main body 1;
It is connected and fixed to 2b. Reference numeral 13 denotes a chute having the same shape as the chute 6, whose upper end is connected around the input port 2 and whose lower end is connected to the inner peripheral surface 12 of the transport container body 1.
a, 12b, 12c, and 12d.

Figures 6 and 7 show a rotational drive device D that rotates a transportation container A filled with raw materials A and B to be mixed.
Then, the transport container A placed on the pedestal 15 is moved to the pedestal 1 by the cylinders 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d.
Transport container holding part 16 that presses and holds the transport container 5
and a drive device main body 18 that supports the transport container holding section 16 and rotates it around an axis 17.

With this configuration, the transport container A filled with the raw materials A and B is transported to the installation location of the rotary drive device D, and the longitudinal direction of the columnar body 10 is perpendicular to the axis 17 as shown in FIG. The transport container A is placed on the pedestal 15 of the transport container holder 16, and then the stems of the cylinders 14a to 14d are retreated to hold the transport container A between the pedestal 15 and the presser frame 19. to rotate the transport container A in the direction of arrow E. As a result of this rotation, the raw materials A and B in the transport container A are first rotated by 180 degrees to the slope of the columnar body 10.
After being dispersed along slopes J ₁ and J ₂ , it is guided to the input port 2 position along slopes J ₃ and J ₄ , where it gathers, and then is dispersed along slopes J ₃ and J ₄ by the next 180° rotation. Then the slope J ₁ ,
They are guided along J ₂ to the discharge port 4 position, where they gather, and this process is repeated until they are uniformly mixed to form (A+B). When mixing is completed in this way, the input port 2
The main body 16 of the drive device is stopped in the state shown in FIG. 6 with the container facing upward, and then the cylinders 14a to 14d are extended to release the hold on the transport container A.
The transport container A whose hold has been released is transported to the destination.

In the above embodiment, the transport container main body 1 has a rectangular horizontal cross-sectional shape, but the same may be applied to a circular or polygonal shape.

Further, although the columnar body 10 had a rhombic cross section, the same effect could be obtained even if it were polygonal or oval, and the outer peripheral shape of the end face was formed to widen from the top to the center, and from the center to the bottom. Any columnar shape with a narrowed bottom may be used.

As described above, according to the powder transport container of the present invention, the outer periphery of the end face is formed into a columnar shape that widens from the top to the center and narrows from the center to the bottom inside the sealable transport container main body. By providing a columnar body with both ends connected to the opposing inner peripheral surfaces of the transport container body, a sufficient mixing effect can be expected by simply rotating the transport container for a single hour.
Furthermore, after the mixing is completed, the mixture can be transported as is without being transferred to another container, so the process of mixing and transporting can be carried out efficiently.
