Description

  The present invention relates to a container that accommodates a granular material such as a mixed feed and transports and stores it. In particular, the present invention relates to a container that can almost completely discharge the contents and that can open and close the lid with a relatively space-saving and simple mechanism. Furthermore, it is related with the conveying apparatus which combined such a container and a hopper, and a feed manufacturing plant provided with such a conveying apparatus.

  In the production of mixed feed, in order to increase the traceability of various raw materials, intermediate products and products, and to respond to the increase and decrease in production volume, these various raw materials, intermediate products and products are classified by type and lot as necessary. A method of accommodating in a small container has been proposed. As the container, a container provided with a container main body having a discharge port and a charging port and a lid for opening and closing the port is usually used.

  In such containers, the lid is often attached to the container body so as to open or close the opening by sliding or swinging. The slide type and swing type lids have the following problems. That is, in the case of a slide type lid, the contents may remain on the upper surface of the lid at the time of discharging. If a content of another type or lot is thrown in a state where a certain content remains in this way, the content may be mixed. On the other hand, in the case of the swing type, since the lid rotates at the time of discharging, no residue remains, but it is necessary to provide a space for the lid to swing. In addition, the mechanism for swinging the lid becomes complicated.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a container that can almost completely discharge the contents and can open and close the lid with a relatively space-saving and simple mechanism. . Furthermore, a transport device comprising such a container and a hopper having a mechanism for opening and closing the opening of the container, and a feed production plant having such a transport device and excellent traceability between raw materials and products. The purpose is to provide.

  The container of the present invention is a container comprising a container body having a cone-shaped cone-shaped portion having an inclination exceeding the angle of repose of the granular material that is the content, and a lid for opening and closing the opening of the cone-shaped portion. The conical portion is on the top when the contents are charged, the conical portion is on the bottom when the contents are discharged, and the lid is capable of both swing opening and closing and sliding opening and closing.

  In the present invention, the lid can be swing open and closed when discharged, and slide open and closed when inserted.

  According to the present invention, since the contents are discharged with the conical cone-shaped part facing down, the contents do not remain in the container body. On the other hand, since the opposite side (referred to as the bottom) from the discharge / input port can be made flat, the internal volume can be increased. In addition, since an opening that serves both as a discharge opening and a charging opening is provided at one place, the opening can be opened and closed with a lid that can be opened and closed by swinging and sliding. By opening and closing the lid at the time of discharging, the contents do not remain on the back side of the lid, and there is almost no yield loss. Moreover, mixing of lots of contents or between varieties can be avoided. In addition, since the lid is opened and closed by sliding, the operating space for the lid can be reduced. Further, the sliding type can make the opening / closing mechanism relatively compact. This reduces equipment size and reduces costs.

  In the present invention, the lid is one size larger than the opening of the conical portion, and a packing disposed on the periphery of the lid plate and applied to the outer surface of the container body outside the opening; A bar attached to the outside of one side of the lid plate and serving as a fulcrum during swing and a pulling unit during sliding; a side provided on the container body facing the bar of the lid plate; and A hook or a stopper for pressing the bar against the outer surface of the container body can be provided.

  In this case, the lid can be slidable and slidable with a relatively simple structure by pulling the bar to slide the lid plate or by operating the lid plate to swing the lid plate around the bar. it can.

  In the present invention, the hook extends in the sliding direction of the lid, and has an engaging recess that engages with the bar. On the upper edge of the engaging recess, the unexpected sliding of the bar is prevented. It is preferable that a convex portion is formed.

  When the lid is in the up position, the bar is lifted up by the elasticity of the packing. At this time, since the bar interferes with the engaging recess, it cannot slide if it is lifted. In other words, it is impossible to pass through the engaging recess unless the bar is once lowered. Therefore, even when the container is tilted, the lid does not slide unless the bar lowering operation is intentionally performed, so that it is possible to prevent the lid from unexpectedly sliding.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the slope which inclines gradually upwards in the sliding direction is formed under the engaging recessed part of the said hook.

  When sliding the lid, first, as described above, the bar is first pushed down, and then the bar is slid along the slope. Since the bar is lifted along the slope, the lid plate is also lifted at the same time, and the pressing force of the packing on the container body is reduced. As a result, the sliding resistance of the lid is lowered, so that the power of the mechanism for sliding the lid can be reduced. Further, wear due to packing friction can be reduced.

  The transport device of the present invention is a transport device comprising a container for storing contents, and a hopper for receiving the contents discharged from the container and dropping them downward, wherein the container has a conical cone shape. A container body provided with a portion, and a lid that opens and closes and opens and closes the opening of the conical portion, and when the contents are charged, the conical portion is on the top and the lid is slid open and closed, When the contents are discharged, the lid is swing open / closed with the conical portion facing down, and the hopper includes a mechanism for swinging open / close the lid.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the plant using the container provided with the lid which can perform both sliding opening and closing and swing opening and closing is realizable.

  In the present invention, if a mechanism for locking the lid so that it cannot be opened / closed and a mechanism for releasing the slide opening / closing lock mechanism are provided, unexpected sliding of the lid can be prevented.

  Further, the slide opening / closing lock mechanism of the lid includes a hook provided on the container body and having an engagement recess extending in the slide direction of the lid, and a protrusion is formed at an upper edge end portion of the engagement recess. And a slope that gradually tilts upward in the sliding direction is formed at the lower edge, and the slide opening / closing lock release mechanism of the lid presses the bar against the elasticity of the packing, An actuator for lowering the bar below the convex portion of the hook, and an actuator for moving the bar along the slope of the engagement concave portion of the hook, and the swing opening / closing mechanism of the lid receives the bar And a receiving member serving as a swing fulcrum of the lid, and an actuator that opens while supporting the lid from below.

  In this case, the contents can be discharged into the hopper by swinging the lid with a relatively simple configuration.

  The feed blending plant of the present invention is a feed blending plant that accepts, blends and processes a plurality of main raw materials and auxiliary raw materials to produce a mixed feed, and processes, blends and mixes raw materials, auxiliary raw materials, various intermediate products and products. A processing device group for packaging is provided, and the transport device according to any one of claims 6 to 8 is used in any process of transporting raw materials, auxiliary materials, various intermediate products, and products between the processing devices. It is characterized by.

  According to the present invention, filling and discharging of contents into a container can be performed with a space-saving and relatively simple mechanism, and various raw materials, intermediate products, and products can be used as needed in the feed manufacturing process. It becomes easy to store in a small container by type or lot. This makes it easier to increase the traceability of various raw materials, intermediate products, and products, and to easily respond to changes in production volume.

  As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a container that can discharge the contents almost completely and that can open and close the lid with a relatively simple and space-saving mechanism. Furthermore, by combining such a container with a hopper equipped with a swing opening / closing mechanism for the lid of this container, it is suitable for storing various raw materials, intermediate products, and products in containers by type or lot. Therefore, it is possible to provide a transport device having a relatively simple configuration. And by using such a conveying apparatus, the feed manufacturing plant which can raise the reliability of the traceability of various raw materials, intermediate goods, and a product, or can respond to increase / decrease in production volume is realizable.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1A and 1B are diagrams showing the structure of a container (loading posture) according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a front view, and FIG. 1B is a side view.
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the structure of the container main body of the container shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the container 1 includes a container main body 3 having an opening 2 for discharging and charging, and a lid 6 for opening and closing the opening 2. A container body 3 of the container 1 is surrounded by a rectangular frame-shaped angle 7. The angle 7 is for facilitating the handling of the container during the reinforcement or transportation of the container 1. In this example, the dimensions of the angle 7 are 2 m in height, 1.8 m in width, and 1.2 m in depth. In the following description, upper, lower, left and right sides, and front and rear sides refer to the sides shown in the drawings.

The container body 3 includes a tapered truncated pyramid-shaped cone-shaped portion 4 and a rectangular box-shaped main accommodating portion 5. At the tip of the cone-shaped portion 4, there is a discharge / input portion that is configured around a rectangular opening 2 through which the contents are input / discharged. By making the container body 3 into such a shape, the main accommodating portion 5 is lowered and the bottom becomes flat at the time of charging, so that the volume into which the contents can be charged can be made as large as possible. In one example, the volume of the container body 3 is about 2.8 m ³ . The inclination angle of each side plate of the conical portion 4 has an inclination equal to or greater than the repose angle of the granular material that is the content. In this example, the inclination angle of the conical portion 4 with respect to the horizontal plane of the front plate 4a is 57 °, the same inclination angle of the rear plate 4b is 79 °, and the same inclination angle of the left and right side plates 4c and 4d is 64 °. By providing the inclination angle in this way, the contents smoothly flow out toward the opening 2 along the side wall of the cone-shaped portion 4 when discharging in the posture with the cone-shaped portion 4 facing down. The contents do not remain.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the opening 2 has a rectangular planar shape, and is formed at a position shifted from the center of the container 1 in the short direction of the container (the rearward direction of the figure) (see FIG. 1B as well). reference). As will be described in detail later, the lid 6 slides in the short direction (front-rear direction) of the opening 2. Therefore, when the opening 2 is shifted forward from the center of the container 1 and the lid 6 is slid in the short direction to open the opening 2, a space 19 for the sliding lid 6 to be positioned is secured. ing.

  A flange 2 a that projects horizontally is formed around the opening 2. From the vicinity of both ends of the front edge of the flange 2a, the support member 11 extends in the sliding direction of the lid (front direction in the figure). The support member 11 extends in the frame of the angle 7 and, as shown in FIG. 1B, is inclined slightly upward from the flange 2a and then slightly downward toward the front side. The slid lid 6 is supported on the support member 11.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a guide 12 that guides the lid 6 in the sliding direction (front-rear direction) is provided upright on the left and right outer sides of the opening 2 on the upper surface of the flange 2 a. A stopper guide 13 is provided on the rear outer side of the opening 2 to position the lid 6 at the closed position. The stopper guide 13 is provided with a stopper 14 for fixing the rear edge of the lid 6 to the flange 2a. A hook 15 is formed on the front outer side of the opening 2 to fix the front edge of the lid 6 to the flange 2a. The shapes of the stopper 14 and the hook 15 will be described later.

Next, the structure of the lid 6 will be described.
3A and 3B are diagrams showing the structure of the lid of the container of FIG. 1, FIG. 3A is a plan view, and FIG. 3B is a side sectional view.
The lid 6 has a rectangular lid plate 61 that is slightly larger than the opening 2 of the container body 1. The lid plate 61 includes a central portion 61a and a peripheral edge portion 61b that rises from the periphery of the central portion 61a. The central portion 61a is provided with a reinforcing rib 61c over the entire surface (this rib 61c is shown only in FIG. 3A). A circumferential groove 61d that is open on the inner side (the container body side) is formed in the peripheral edge 61b, and a packing 62 is disposed in the same portion 61d. The packing 62 is applied to the flange 2 a outside the opening 2 of the container body 3. A bar 63 extending in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the plate is provided outside the front edge of the lid plate 61. The length of the bar 63 is longer than the length of the lid plate 61 in the longitudinal direction, and both ends of the bar 63 protrude from the lid plate 61 to the left and right. The bar 63 serves as a fulcrum when the lid 6 swings and a pulling portion when sliding.

4A and 4B are views showing an opening closed by a lid, FIG. 4A is a plan view, FIG. 4B is a side cross-sectional view, and FIG. 4C is a part of FIG. 4B. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view showing the opening in which the lid is opened and the periphery thereof.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the lid 6 is supported so as to close the opening 2 by a stopper 14 provided on the rear side of the flange 2a of the container body 3 and a hook 15 provided on the front side. . The stopper 14 is L-shaped as shown in FIG. 5B, and in this example, three stoppers 14 are provided on the stopper guide 13. The stopper 14 meshes with the rear edge of the lid plate 61 as shown in FIG.

  The hooks 15 are provided in front of the opening 2 and on both the left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 4C, the hook 15 extends in the sliding direction of the lid 6 (opening direction, forward direction in the drawing) and engages with both ends of the bar 63 of the lid 6. 15a is formed. A protruding portion 15b protruding downward is formed at the upper edge of the engaging recess 15a. On the other hand, on the front side of the lower edge of the engaging recess 15a, a slope 15c that is gradually inclined upward in the sliding direction is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, when the cover 6 is closed, the left and right edges and the rear edge of the cover plate 61 are surrounded by the guide 12 and the stopper guide 13, and the packing 62 is attached to the flange 2 a around the opening 2. It is being pressed. The rear edge of the lid plate 61 is engaged with the hook 14, and both ends of the bar 63 are engaged with the hook 15. These stopper hooks 14 and hooks 15 press the lid plate 61 against the flange 2a to bring the packing 62 into close contact with the flange 2a. In other words, the lid plate 61 is urged upward by the elasticity of the packing 62. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4C, the bar 63 is locked to the convex portion 15b formed on the front edge of the engaging concave portion 15a of the hook 15 (the escape of the bar 63 from the concave portion 15a is prevented. Therefore, even when the container 1 is inclined, the lid 6 does not slide carelessly (the lid 6 is locked).

  The lid 6 slides when it is turned on and swings when it is discharged. This slide operation and swing operation will be described.

First, the sliding operation will be described.
When the lid 6 is slid from the closed position shown in FIG. 4B, the lid 6 and the bar 63 are operated as follows (the operation actuator will be described below). First, the bar 63 is pushed down against the elasticity of the packing 62. Then, the bar 63 moves away from the projection 15b of the engagement recess 15a and can slide in the direction of exiting the engagement recess 15a (the lock is released). Next, the bar 63 is slid forward along the slope 15c at the lower edge of the engaging recess 15a. The bar 63 slides while moving obliquely upward along the slope 15c. When the bar 63 is slid in this manner, the rear edge of the lid plate 61 is detached from the stopper 14 and the force pressing the lid plate 61 is released. The lid plate 61 is also lifted as the bar 63 moves upward along the slope 15c. As a result, the pressing force of the packing 62 against the flange 2a decreases, and the sliding resistance between the packing 62 and the flange 2a decreases. The lid plate 61 is pulled by the bar 63 and guided by the left and right guides 12 and slides. However, since the sliding resistance between the packing 62 and the flange 2a is relatively low, the power for sliding the bar 63 is small. Good. Finally, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid 6 slides until the opening 2 is fully opened, and the lid is held on the support member 11.

Next, a mechanism for sliding the lid will be described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of a sliding mechanism of the lid.
The lid slide mechanism 70 can be provided, for example, on a mount M to which a hopper or the like disposed above the container 1 is attached in order to supply the contents to the container 1. The lid slide mechanism 70 includes a slide cylinder 71 that expands and contracts in the slide direction (front-rear direction) and a lift cylinder 72 that moves the slide cylinder 71 in the vertical direction. The lid slide mechanism 70 is preferably provided as a pair of left and right so as to correspond to both ends of the bar 63 of the lid 6.

  The lifting cylinder 72 is fixed to the gantry with a bracket 73 so as to expand and contract in the vertical direction. A cylinder 71 for sliding that extends and contracts in the sliding direction of the lid 6 is fixed to the head 72 a of the rod 72 b of the cylinder 72 via a bracket 74. A downward U-shaped head 71 a is attached to the tip of the rod 71 b of the slide cylinder 71.

  When sliding the lid 6, first, the rod 71 b of the sliding cylinder 71 is slightly protruded, and the head 71 a is positioned directly above the bar 63 of the lid 6. Thereafter, the rod 72 b of the lifting cylinder 72 is taken out, and the bar 63 of the lid 6 is engaged with the head 71 a of the sliding cylinder 71. Further, the lifting cylinder 72 is slightly extended to push down the bar 63. The bar 63 is pushed down against the elasticity of the packing 62 of the lid 6 and can escape from the engaging recess 15a of the hook 15 as described above. Thereafter, with the bar 63 engaged with the head 71a, the rod 71b of the sliding cylinder 71 is taken out, and the bar 63 is moved forward. The bar 63 moves along the slope 15c of the hook 15, the lid plate 61 is pulled by the bar 63 and slides, and the opening 2 is opened.

Next, the swing operation will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the swinging motion of the lid (the operation actuator is omitted).
At the time of discharging shown in FIG. 7A, the container is inverted by a reversing device (which may be a known one), and the opening 2 is directed downward. At this time, the lid 6 is locked so as not to slide as described above. From here, swinging is performed as shown in FIGS. 7C, 11, and 12 around the bar 63 of the lid 6. In the state of FIG. 7A, the rear edge of the lid 6 is engaged with the stopper 14. Since it is stopped, the lid 6 cannot swing. Therefore, first, as shown in FIG. 7B, in the same manner as the sliding operation described above, the bar 63 of the lid 6 is made detachable from the engaging recess 15a of the hook 15, and then the lid 6 is slightly slid, Remove the rear edge of the lid 6 from the stopper hook 14. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7C, the lid 6 is swung counterclockwise around the bar 63 to fully open the opening 2.

Next, a mechanism for opening and closing the lid 6 will be described. By this mechanism, the lid 6 swings and opens after the slide open / close lock is released and slides.
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a swing opening / closing mechanism.
9-12 is a figure explaining swing operation | movement.
The swing opening / closing mechanism is provided, for example, in a hopper 50 disposed below the container 1 when the contents of the container 1 are transferred. The hopper 50 is attached to, for example, another container or a base M provided above a shipping truck.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the hopper 50 has a relatively large sized inlet 50a and a relatively small sized outlet 50b, and is tapered toward the outlet 50b. A packing 51 is disposed around the insertion port 50a. A flange 50c protruding outward is provided slightly below the insertion port 50a. The hopper 50 is attached to the gantry so as to be movable up and down by a plurality (two in this example) of lifting cylinders 52. The cylinder 52 is fixed to the gantry so that the expansion and contraction direction is upward, and the head 52 a of the cylinder 52 is fixed to the flange 50 c of the hopper 50 via the bracket 53.

  A slide cylinder 54 is attached near the upper edge of the inner surface of the hopper 50. The cylinder 54 is arranged such that the expansion / contraction direction is the sliding direction (front-rear direction) of the lid 6. An upward U-shaped receiving member 55 is attached to the head 54 a of the cylinder 54. By extending and retracting the cylinder 54, the receiving member 55 can be moved to a position where it engages with the bar 63 of the lid 6 of the container 1 disposed above the hopper 50.

  In the hopper 50, there is further provided a swing cylinder 56 that extends and contracts obliquely upward in the hopper from the rear side toward the front side. For example, the cylinder 56 is attached to the outer surface of the hopper 50 with a bracket 57 so that the rod 56 b extends through the side wall of the hopper 50 into the hopper 50. The through hole in the hopper side wall and the piston rod 56b are sealed with packing or the like. The cylinders 56 are arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part in the hopper.

  When opening the opening, first, as shown in FIG. 9, the rod 54 b of the sliding cylinder 54 is taken out, and the receiving member 55 is positioned directly below the bar 63 of the lid 6. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10, the rod 52 b of the lifting cylinder 52 is taken out to raise the hopper 60, and the packing 51 at the upper end of the hopper 50 is brought into contact with the flange 2 a of the container 1. The bar 63 is engaged. Here, the rod 56 b of the swing cylinder 56 is extended so that the head 56 a is brought into contact with the peripheral edge 61 b of the lid plate 61. Thereafter, the rod 52b of the lifting cylinder 52 is further taken out, and the bar 63 is pushed up. Then, the bar 63 comes off from the convex portion 15b of the engaging concave portion 15a of the hook 15.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the rod 54b of the slide cylinder 54 is pulled in, the receiving member 55 is pulled in the forward direction, and the lid 6 is slid. Then, the bar 63 slides in the engagement recess 15 a of the hook 15, and the rear edge of the lid 6 is detached from the stopper hook 14. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12, the lid 6 can be rotated around the bar 63 supported by the receiving member 55, and the bar 63 is held by the weight of the contents while being held by the head 56a of the swing cylinder 56. Swing as the center. During this time, the rod 56b is pushed by the lid 6 and pulled. Thereby, the contents of the container 1 are discharged to the hopper 50. Since the lid 6 rotates around the bar 63, the contents of the container 1 can be completely discharged, and the contents do not accumulate on the upper surface (surface on the container side) of the lid 6 and remain.

Next, an example of a blended feed manufacturing plant that uses such a transport device including the container 1 and the hopper 50 will be described.
In this example, an example in which a pressure pen intermediate product and a pellet processed product are accommodated in a container in a process of manufacturing a bulky compounded product (a mixture of a pressure pen intermediate product and a pellet processed product) will be described.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the bulky blending process.
First, the raw material is received in the raw material tank (S1), and the secondary raw material is received in the secondary raw material tank (S2). The raw material is cut out from the tank, and part of the raw material is processed with a pressure pen (S3), and then stored in the container 1 (S4). Moreover, after a part is mash processed (S5), it mix | blends with the auxiliary | assistant raw material cut out from the auxiliary | assistant raw material tank (S6). The blended material is pelletized (S7) and then stored in the container 1 (S8). And the pressure pen intermediate goods accommodated in the container 1 and the pellet processed goods accommodated in the container 1 are mix | blended (S9), and a bulky compounded product is manufactured. The bulky compound is stored in the container 1 (S10), stored in an automatic warehouse or the like (S11), and then shipped (S12).
