Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To newly provide a dropping-into-cup device for powders such as a soup stock which surely drops and feeds a prescribed amount of powders being received by a receiving hole into a cup located directly below without a residue. <P>SOLUTION: A hopper which houses powders such as a soup stock, and two delivery ports for the powders which are located under the hopper across a weight body are provided. A plate which faces the weight body and one delivery port and has two receiving holes for receiving powders is arranged on a base plate. The two receiving holes are alternately made to face a position under the weight by the reciprocation of the plate, and powders in the receiving hole are dropped and fed into a suspended cup directly below by the pressing from the upper surface by the descending motion of the weight body in this dropping-into-cup device for powders such as a soup stock. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus that uniformly pushes all wet and sticky powders such as flour as cup soup, ramen soup flour, and curry powder into a hanging cup.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-52103 is known as this type of apparatus. In this publication, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixed amount hole 41 is pushed out of the stocker 2 to drop the powder 1.
No. 7-52103

  However, even if the quantitative hole 41 is pushed out into the atmosphere outside the stocker 2, the powder 1 in the quantitative hole 41 is strongly moist and sticky, such as curry powder, and the powder contained in the material is quantitatively determined. There is a problem of bridging between the holes so as not to fall, or a problem that only a part of the drops is dropped and a uniform amount of drop is not supplied.

  The present invention provides a hopper for storing powder such as soup stock and two feeding outlets for the powder sandwiching a weight body at the lower part of the hopper, relative to the weight body and one feeding outlet. A plate provided with two receiving holes for receiving powder is arranged on the base plate, and the two receiving holes are alternately opposed to the bottom of the weight body by reciprocating movement of the plate. The above problem is solved by supplying the liquid into the hanging cup directly below by pushing from the upper surface by the downward movement of the weight body.

  In the present invention, two receiving holes for receiving the powder in the hopper from the outlet are alternately moved below the weight body, and the powder is pushed into the cup immediately below by pressing the weight body downward. Since the drop-in is carried out, the effect of being able to drop into the cup without fail without leaving all the amount of moisture, strong stickiness, powder with ingredients, etc. is produced.

  By causing the two receiving holes to be alternately opposed to each other under the weight body, there is an effect that the supply speed of the powder in the cup can be remarkably increased.

  The receiving hole that accepts the powder is trimmed and scraped away from the outlet when moving, so that the amount of the powder in the receiving hole is always constant and can be supplied in an equal amount to the cup Is produced.

  The powder receiving hole has a shallow shape corresponding to the thickness of the plate, so that the powder is surely dropped and supplied into the cup immediately below even if the weight body is pushed down slightly.

  Since the oscillating body is provided in the hopper above the feeding outlet to allow the powder to flow, the powder is stably fed from the feeding outlet without interruption, and the receiving hole is filled without gaps. .

  The present invention provides a conveyor such as a retainer that hangs one or a plurality of cups and runs intermittently, or a hopper at a fixed position on a hanging cup that runs intermittently in a circular manner, and a weight body is provided below the hopper. A plate is provided on the base plate with two feeding openings for the powder sandwiched between the weight body and the two receiving holes for receiving the powder facing the weight body and one feeding outlet. By moving the two receiving holes alternately under the weight body, and by pushing from the upper surface by the downward movement of the weight body, the powder in the receiving hole is run directly under the hanging cup It was made to go down sequentially. At this time, the receiving hole is rimmed and scraped between the lower end of the feeding outlet so as to receive a certain amount of powder and supply it into each cup in an equal amount.

  1 to 5 show a first embodiment in which the hopper 1 is vertically installed on a predetermined position of a retainer conveyor 14 that hangs the cup 13 in three rows or the like and runs intermittently. The horizontal bottom plate 2 of the hopper 1 straddles so as to cross the retainer conveyor 14 and has a rectangular shape in FIG. Outlets 4 a and 4 b are provided, and three slide plates 6 that horizontally move in the front-rear direction are sandwiched between the horizontal bottom plate 2 and the base plate 5. Each plate 6 is provided with a weight body 3 and powder receiving holes 7a and 7b located below the feeding port 4a. In the figure, 8 is a cover for the weight body 3, 9 is a housing cylinder for the weight body 3, 10 is a rocking body on the outlet, 11a is a hole in the base plate, 11b is a guide cylinder, and 12 is for moving the slide plate 6 back and forth. It is a cylinder to be made.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the powders i in the hopper 1 enter the receiving holes 7a from the outlet 4a without any gap by the swinging of the swinging body 10, and then the slide plates 6 are advanced as shown in FIG. The upper surface of the receiving hole 7a is scraped in contact with the delivery port 4a, and the received powder is quantified and moved under each weight body 3, where the powder i is moved from above by the downward movement of the weight body 3. It is equally dropped into the three hanging cups 13 that have been pushed and traveled through the hole 11a and the guide tube 11b.

  Next, the receiving hole 7b that receives the powder i is made to face the weight body 3 by the return operation of each slide plate 6, and in the same way as above, the powder is pressed by pressing the upper surface of the powder i. In this way, it is evenly dropped into the hanging cups 13 in the next row that have traveled directly under the class A. In each weight body 3, the receiving holes 7a and 7b have a shallow hole shape corresponding to the thickness of the slide plate 6, so that the powder is surely dropped by a slight downward movement.

  Although the above has been described based on the three rows of hanging cups 13, even if the number of hanging cups 13 is increased to 6, 8, etc., the powders can be evenly dropped and supplied by matching the number. it can.

  FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment in which the hopper 1 is provided on the hanging cup 13 of the disk 14a that runs intermittently. In the figure, an example is shown in which two rows of cups 13 are hung on a circular plate 14a and intermittently run. The hopper 1 is vertically installed on a predetermined stop position, and two pieces are fitted to the two rows of hanging cups 13. The feed plate 4 is provided with front and rear outlets 4a and 4b with the weight body 3 interposed therebetween, and the slide plate 6 provided with receiving holes 7a and 7b below the weight body 3 and one feed port 4a is arranged to move back and forth. It is the same as the previous example.

  As described above, the present invention accepts all powders of soup, cup ramen powder, curry powder, and other strong and sticky powders from the hopper through the receiving hole, so that The present invention can be widely used for a drop-in device for various powders dropped into a container.
