Definitions

  • the invention is based on a device for dosing dry Well. Including lumpy, coarse-grained, fine-grained, powdery and granular contents are understood.
  • the invention is based on the object, a device for dosing to create dry good, which is very simple, high filling capacities possible and usable even with fragile goods is.
  • the invention proposes a device the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the device thus contains a container which is at least in its bottom has an opening. Through the opening that can below arranged metering volumes are filled.
  • the isolating slide is arranged in the container so that it the container interior in divides two parts, of which in the operation of the device a part with the is filled to be dosed.
  • gutdicht is a Understand such training that the material to be filled is not Pass the slider into the other part of the container can. For coarse-grained goods less tightness is required than in fine-grained good.
  • the slider When using the device, the slider is first positioned so that he is completely arranged on one side of the opening is. Then that part of the container in which the opening is not is present filled with the material to be dosed. Now the slider moved across the opening, so the good can through the opening flow until the space below the opening is completely filled. Now the slider can be moved back, taking the whole in the Container pushes back existing good, so now the space below the opening is painted painted. Another good can not now refill more. Thus, the dosing volume is below the opening filled, and the contained part of the contents can now be treated be, for example, get into a container. To this This is a simple device for very accurate dosing created, which can additionally be taken care of, that the granular material is treated gently.
  • the ground a series of openings, each with a metering volume arranged underneath having. This allows multiple dosing operations simultaneously be performed. It is possible that the dosing volumes below the many openings are also different in size, so that in a process performed dosages of different content can be.
  • the direction of movement of the Slider is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the series of openings, so that the slider is simultaneously moved over the openings.
  • the diameter corresponds to the openings in the direction of movement of the slider.
  • the bottom of the container can be two rows of openings which are preferably parallel to each other are arranged at a small distance. These two rows of openings can be operated by a single slider, in which case the stroke of the slider is greater. This type of training serves for Enlargement of the total volume to be dispensed with a dosing process.
  • the ground on at least one side of the opening in the direction of movement of the slider is formed sloping.
  • the material to be filled then slips, when the slider is moved away. If only a single opening or only a single row of openings, so may according to the invention be provided that on both sides of the openings of the ground rises or falls.
  • the type of movement of the slider depends on the shape of the container from. In a flat or composed of straight sections Floor can slide, for example, using a curve guide or a linear guide can be moved.
  • the slider also does not need to be moved very far, since he only from the one Side of the openings moved to the other side of the openings must become. It is particularly useful if, in a further development of the invention It can be provided that the container at least in the area the openings has the shape of a circular cylinder. Then they lie Openings preferably on a generatrix of this circular cylinder.
  • the Circular cylindrical shape of the container in the region of the openings has the advantage that the separating slide can also be pivoted about an axis so that its in contact with the bottom of the container Edge moves on the lateral surface of a circular cylinder. you Although in this case can store the slider more complicated, however the arrangement around an axis is the preferred one.
  • the device may comprise a device to the free of the dosing material part of the container under negative pressure set or apply a protective gas.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a container 1, which has the shape of a circular cylinder having.
  • the top of the container 1 is open.
  • the front wall is omitted for better illustration.
  • the container 1 is closed by a wall 2, wherein, as already mentioned, the front end wall is omitted.
  • a shaft 3 is arranged above the fixed partition 4 is attached.
  • This solid partition 4 could, for example, at the End wall 2 behind and on the front wall, not shown be attached.
  • Fixed to the shaft 3 is a rotary valve 5, in which it is a rectangular plate, that of the rear end wall 2 extends to the front wall.
  • the plate is dimensioned that their the shaft 3 facing away from the free edge of a small distance the inside of the coat lies. The distance is chosen so that the Good to be dosed between the edge and the inside of the Mantels can get through.
  • at the edge also be attached to a seal, which then becomes a concern of the Seal on the inside of the jacket leads.
  • a series of openings 7 is arranged, which in a parallel The line lying to the axis of the cylinder arranged one behind the other are.
  • the slider 5 can pivot by means of the shaft. 3 from the illustrated position, where he left of the series of openings 7 is placed in a position where he is right of the series of Openings 7 is located. This movement is a reciprocating, implied through the double arrow 8.
  • Figure 2 shows the possibility that at the bottom 6 of the container 1 two Rows of openings 7 are present, which are parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container. Under the containers 9 are shown cup 11, which are only to show schematically that the metered material is then filled into a cup. To operate the valve 10 then serves as drive 12.
  • the device of FIG. 2 contains two such slide 15, as explained in Figure 1.
  • the both separating slides 5 and 15 are rigidly attached to the same shaft 3, so that upon rotation of the shaft 3, the two separating slide 5, 15 are pivoted together.
  • the invention provides a device with which a cost volumetric Dosing can be performed. Especially In the case of contents which have certain forms of granules, destruction can take place of the contents are avoided. When the container is at its top closed, a dust-free dosing can be performed become.
  • the invention enables a large metering range and a high output, with a high accuracy of the individual portions.
  • the drive can be done with the help of servomotors.
  • the device and the procedure it carries out can be used for lumpy, coarse-grained, fine-grained, powdery and granular fillings used become.
