  In the conventional reduction apparatus as described above, it takes a lot of time to perform a lot of sampling from a large amount of material, and the efficiency is extremely deteriorated. On the other hand, if the number of times of sampling is reduced, a deviation occurs between the composition of the entire material and the composition of the collected sample, and the accuracy of the analysis is deteriorated. However, high accuracy is required for sampling of a powder containing a noble metal such as platinum, and it is required to collect a sample that accurately represents the whole from a large amount of powder.

The And it falls from the lower end part of a cone for every divided area. In general, when the distance of sliding down the circumferential surface of the cone increases, the amount of powder dispersed in the circumferential direction decreases. When the sliding amount decreases, the distribution in the circumferential direction tends to become non-uniform due to the influence of the friction of the sliding surface. However, in the reduction device of the present invention, the powder falling on the cone is divided according to the central angle between the partition walls at a position where the distribution in the circumferential direction is uniformly maintained, and this division amount is maintained.

The lower table 32 is supported by a sampling chute 33, a discharge chute 34 and a conduit 35 of the upper table 31. It is connected. As a result, the rotational driving force is transmitted and rotates together with the upper table.

  The rotation speeds of the upper table 31 and the lower table can be appropriately determined, preferably set to about 1 to 10 times / minute, more preferably 3 to 7 times / minute. When the rotation speed of the upper table is high, powder sampling can be performed in a large number, but the powder scattering increases when the powder falling from the cone 11 is collected. For this reason, it is desirable to determine in consideration of the number of divided samples and the sampling amount error due to scattering. In this embodiment, it is set to 5 times / minute.

FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the discharge unit 4 provided below the sampling unit 3.
The discharge unit 4 includes an outer hopper 41 supported below the outer discharge port 37 and an inner hopper 42 supported below the inner discharge port 38. The outer peripheral portion of the outer hopper 41 is outside the outer discharge port 37 arranged in an annular shape, and the powder guided to the outer discharge port 37 is dropped. Further, the outer peripheral portion of the inner hopper 42 is outside the inner discharge ports 38 arranged in a ring and inside the outer discharge ports 37, and the powder guided to the inner discharge ports 38 is dropped onto the outer hopper 37. It is dropped so as not to mix with the powder. The powder dropped on the inner hopper 38 is taken out by a collection tube 43 that penetrates the outer wall portion of the outer hopper 41. Further, the powder dropped on the outer hopper 41 is sent out to the discharge pipe 44.

In such a reduction device, the powder dropped in the supply pipe 22 from the powder receiving pipe 66 hits the conical surface of the conical body 23 supported by the lower end of the supply pipe 22 and is dispersed to the surroundings to supply the supply tank 22. Supplied in. In the supply tank, it passes through the perforated plate 27 while being leveled in the circumferential direction by the rotary blade body 24, and is distributed almost evenly in the circumferential direction and falls onto the cone 11 from the drop guide tube 25.
Since the vertical axis of the cone 11 coincides with the central axis of the drop guide tube 25, the powder dropped on the peripheral surface of the cone 11 is distributed almost evenly in the circumferential direction and exceeds the step 11a. And flows down between the partition walls 13. The tops of the partition walls 13 are equally spaced in the circumferential direction, and the powder that slides evenly in the circumferential direction is evenly divided and reaches the lower end of the cone 11.

  The powder continuously falling from the lower end of the cone 11 is received by a collection chute 33 or a discharge chute 34 provided on the rotating upper table 31, and dropped into an outer hopper or an inner hopper via a conduit 35. The powder dropped on the inner hopper 42 is taken out from the collection tube 43 as a sample. Further, the powder dropped on the outer hopper 41 is discharged from the discharge pipe 44.

  In the sampling unit 3 that collects a sample as described above, the second conduit 35b connected to the collection chute 33 can select and connect either the outer discharge port 37 or the inner discharge port 38. Therefore, it is possible to select whether the received powder is dropped on the outer hopper or the inner hopper for each of the plurality of collection chutes 35b. Thereby, the amount of sample to be collected can be changed.

  For example, when all of the connected second conduits are connected to the inner discharge port 38 for the sampling chute 33 provided with eight in the present embodiment, all of the powder taken in the eight sampling chutes is used as a sample. According to the ratio of the central angle with the discharge chute 34, 1/5 of the total amount is sampled. The collected powder is divided into 16 parts and slides around the peripheral surface of the cone 11, and eight collection chutes each sample five times per minute. Therefore, sampling is performed from 640 different powders supplied in one minute, and the accuracy is high as a sample representing the entire amount.

When reducing the amount of sample, for example, four of the second conduits are connected to the inner discharge port 38, and the other second conduit 35 is connected to the outer discharge port 37. In such a state, the powder taken into the four collecting chutes is dropped into the inner hopper and collected. That is, the central angle occupied by these four sampling chutes 34 is 36 °, and 1/10 of the total amount is sampled. Then, four sampling chutes from each of the 16 divided powders sample five times each minute, and 320 samples are sampled from the powder supplied per minute.
Similarly, when two of the second conduits 35b are connected to the inner outlet 38 and the other second conduit 35b is connected to the outer outlet 37, 1/20 of the total amount is collected. Then, two sampling chutes from each of the 16 divided powders sample each 5 times per minute, and are sampled at 160 locations from the powder supplied per minute.

  The powder sliding part 1 can also be used when powder is supplied by means different from the powder supply part 2 used in the above embodiment. In addition, the sampling unit 3 can efficiently sample the powder even when the powder falls by means different from the powder sliding unit 1 and the powder supply unit 2 as described above. That is, in place of the powder sliding part 1, the function of the sampling part 3 can be exhibited even when a part having no partition wall on the peripheral surface is adopted. Further, in place of the powder supply unit 2 and the powder sliding unit 1, even when a substantially constant amount of powder is continuously supplied from one or a plurality of pipelines, sampling is performed from the falling powder. be able to. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it can be arranged so that the sampling chute 33 that moves around repeatedly passes through a position where the powder falls from a supply pipe 81 that supplies a certain amount of powder per predetermined time. Thereby, a sample can be repeatedly collected from the falling powder by a plurality of collection chutes.

  Thus, the sampling unit has “a sampling unit that collects a part of powder from continuously falling powder, and the sampling unit is arranged around a central axis that coincides with a vertical axis of the cone. An upper table that is rotationally driven; a lower table that is below the upper table and that rotates together with the upper table; and a plurality are provided along an outer peripheral portion of the upper table, and circulates by the rotation of the upper table, A sampling chute that receives a part of the powder that repeatedly passes through the position where the powder falls, a plurality of outer discharge ports formed along the outer periphery of the lower table, and a central axis of the outer discharge port A plurality of inner outlets arranged on the side, and it is possible to select and connect either the outer outlet or the inner outlet from the sampling chute A tube having a powder guided to the outer discharge port, in which the can be used as a condensation component device "is intended to discharge guided separately and powder inside the discharge port.
