[Prior Art] There are various containers that have been used in the past for storing raw materials of this type, but in general, for raw materials that cannot be stored in a mixed state, one container is used for each raw material. The raw materials were discharged from each container and transported to a mixer by a specific transportation means for mixing and manufacturing.

[0003] Furthermore, as an improved version of the above-mentioned individually used containers, a configuration is used in which a plurality of types of raw materials are accommodated in one container body using multi-tiered compartments as shown in FIG. That is, what is indicated by the reference numeral 1 in FIG. 5 is a container body whose overall shape is cylindrical, and this container body 1 is

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the conventional containers were constructed as described above, the following problems existed. That is, when one container is used for each raw material, the installation space becomes large, and the mixing means, transportation means, etc. when mixed raw materials are used become complicated. In addition, in the case of the container shown in FIG. 5, in order to discharge all the raw material to the outside from the cylinder gate, the bottom of each compartment must be made conical. Therefore, in FIG. As shown, a dead space consisting of a conical portion having an angle of inclination greater than the angle of repose of the raw material is formed between each compartment, and the raw material storage efficiency of the container is inevitably reduced.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in particular, by providing a deformable residual prevention mechanism at the bottom of the multi-tiered compartment, the bottom can be made flat and the storage capacity can be increased. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a large multi-chamber container with residue prevention.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A multi-chamber container with residue prevention according to the present invention includes a container body having a plurality of compartments configured in a multi-tiered manner, a discharge pipe communicating with each of the compartments, and a bottom portion of each of the compartments. The structure includes a deformable residual prevention mechanism provided in the holder.

[0009] More specifically, the residual prevention mechanism is composed of a membrane body, and the bottom of each of the compartments is formed substantially horizontally.

0010

[Operation] In the multi-chamber container with residual prevention according to the present invention,
A deformable residual prevention mechanism is installed at the bottom of each compartment, so when the raw material stored in each compartment is discharged and the level of raw material drops, gas is injected from the gas inlet to prevent residual Since the membrane of the prevention mechanism expands into a conical shape, all remaining raw material is discharged from the discharge pipe via the cylinder gate.

In the above case, if each cylinder gate is opened independently, the raw materials in each compartment can be taken out independently, and by adjusting the opening degree of each cylinder gate at the same time, the mixing ratio of each raw material can be adjusted. can be any rate.

Effects of the Invention Since the multi-chamber container with residual prevention according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since a deformable residual prevention mechanism is provided on the flat bottom of each compartment, when storing raw materials in each compartment, a large amount of raw materials can be stored on the flat bottom. Therefore, there is no dead space between each compartment, and the raw material storage efficiency of the container body as a whole can be improved. Furthermore, when the amount of raw material in each compartment becomes low, the residual prevention mechanism is deformed into a conical shape, so that the raw material slides down under its own weight and is completely discharged without remaining. In addition, as mentioned above, since the raw material storage efficiency is high, the shape of the container body can be made smaller.
Space saving can also be achieved.
