The outer trough 6 is provided with a sieve 4 having a large mesh. The upstream drop port 8 that has passed through and the downstream drop port 9 that has passed through the sieve 4 having a small mesh are connected to each other, so that particles having different particle sizes can be taken out of the machine. Reference numeral 50 denotes a product guide flap for switching the dropping port, reference numeral 51 denotes an intake port, and reference numeral 52 denotes a raw material supply feeder.

<Vibration configuration>
Each of the sieves 4 is accommodated in a sieve box 10, and the sieve box 10 is supported on a support base 12 by at least four legs 11, and is supported by the legs 24 and a seat 24 at the lower end. Between the seat portion 27 of the base 12, hollow rubber springs 13 as a vibration member and roll vibration isolation members 14 are interposed. As a result, the hollow rubber springs 13... That are consumables can be easily taken out of the machine by removing the seats 24 and 27, the maintenance is easy, and the replacement time can be shortened. And the cross beam member 49 etc. which connect each leg part 11 to a rectangular shape are assembled | attached, and the two unbalanced vibration generators 15 are provided in the supply port 2 side of the said leg part 11 and the cross beam member 49. FIG. Is attached, and a vibration in a linear and constant direction in the direction of arrow A (see arrow A in FIG. 1) is generated.
The roll vibration isolation member 14 allows movement in the front-rear direction (arrow y direction in FIG. 1) and the vertical direction (arrow z direction in FIG. 1), while moving in the left-right direction (arrow xx direction in FIG. 1). The direction of the original linear vibration direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1) even when the vibration direction by the unbalanced vibration generator 15 at the time of starting and stopping is unstable.

It is moderated. Two unbalanced vibration generators 15 are fixed to the pipe-shaped joint 15a, and are electrically connected so as to vibrate in the opposite direction, thereby removing the unbalanced component to the side. This is a configuration in which pure linear longitudinal vibration in the direction of arrow A occurs. Reference numeral 16 denotes a cover body of the unbalanced vibration generator.

<Non-vibrating element>
The machine frame 17 on the support 12 carries non-vibrating elements (see FIG. 4), and the upper end of the machine frame 17 is formed in a substantially T shape so as to exceed the left and right sieve boxes 10. The machine frame 17 holds a support base 19 that forms a top air distribution chamber 18 that is a part of a non-vibrating element. The air distribution chamber 18 is for passing air from the lower side to the upper side of the plurality of stages of sieves 4 to perform sieving, and for raising and sucking in air mixed with powder that has passed through the sieves 4. In the distribution chamber 18, a plurality of partition walls 53 (see FIG. 6) are provided in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sieve 4, and divided into a plurality of chambers by the partition walls 53.

<Configuration of current plate in air distribution chamber>
FIG. 5 shows a rectifying plate 20 disposed above the air distribution chamber 18. The rectifying plate 20 is a rectangular iron plate having a length of 124 mm, a width of 204 mm, and a thickness of 1.6 mm. A large number of round holes are punched in the iron plate and formed into punching metal. When a punching metal made of a round hole having a diameter larger than 8.0 mm is used as the rectifying plate 20, the suction force in the vicinity of the center portion in the width direction on the sieve 4 is strong, and suction in the vicinity of both ends in the width direction on the sieve 4 is performed. Since the force is weak, the effect of preventing the uneven suction of the powder is the same as before. On the other hand, when a punching metal having a round hole diameter of less than 8.0 mm is used, the suction force in the width direction on the sieve 4 becomes uniform, and the powder can be sucked evenly. According to a more preferred embodiment, if the punching metal having a round hole diameter of 4.5 mm is formed with an opening ratio of about 51% or less, the suction force in the width direction on the sieve 4 becomes more uniform, and the powder is evenly distributed. It is possible to prevent suction unevenness by sucking in.

A method of attaching the current plate 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6. As shown in FIG. 4, the rectifying plate 20 is provided to be inclined, and the air distribution chamber is arranged separately on the right and left with respect to the central machine frame, and is placed on the upper portion of the air distribution chamber. The horizontal cyclones are arranged so as to be deflected from each other near the center machine frame, while the rectifying plates are arranged to be inclined toward the installation direction of the horizontal cyclones.
And as shown in FIG. 6, the baffle plate 20 is hold | maintained so that insertion / extraction is possible by the guide rail 54 ... attached to the partition 53 .... As described above, the guide rail 54 is attached at 30 degrees from the horizontal direction on the side holding the current plate 20B, and is inclined at a position 150 degrees from the horizontal direction on the side holding the current plate 20A. Are arranged. Thus, by attaching the rectifying plate 20 to be inclined with respect to the horizontal position, the accumulation of powder on the upper surface of the rectifying plate 20 is eliminated, and the maintenance after the purifier 1 is operated can be reduced. If the current plate 20 is attached in the horizontal direction, powder accumulates on the upper surface of the current plate, and maintenance such as cleaning after operation becomes necessary.

<Action>
Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. To activate the purifier 1, first, when the two unbalanced vibration generators 15 are operated, the sieve box 10, the inner trough 5, and the outer trough 6 start to vibrate. At this time, the lateral vibration isolating member 14 restricts the movement in the left-right direction (arrow x direction in FIG. 1), directs the original linear vibration direction (arrow A direction in FIG. 1), and Generation of lateral rolls is prevented. Also, air is sucked from the intake port 51 by the operation of a suction exhauster (not shown) connected to the suction / exhaust pipe 23, and an upward air flow is generated from the lower side of the sieve 4 of the sieve box 10 upward.

  At this time, the rectifying plate 20 provided above the air distribution chamber 18 rectifies the suction of air to the intake port 51, and the upward air flow generated upward from below the sieve 4 of the sieve box 10 is evenly distributed. The action of sucking powder occurs.

  And the granular material used as the raw material before classification purification is supplied to the raw material supply feeder 52 from the supply port 2, and after being rectified wide by the raw material supply feeder 52, it is supplied on the sieve 4 .... The granular material on the sieve 4 slightly tilted back and forth flows to the downstream side by vibration in the front-rear direction (A direction in FIG. 1), and the granular material is shaken on the sieve 4 to be heavy. Particles sink below and light particles float above. Then, the light skin part is lifted by the rising air flow rectified in the width direction of the sieve 4 passing through the sieve 4 upward from below, the heavy particles remain intact, and the semolina particles pass through the mesh of the sieve 4. It falls on the sieves 4b and 4c. Since the screens 4 are gradually coarsened from the upstream side to the downstream side, the semolina particles falling from the upstream screen 4 are fine in size, and the semolina particles falling from the downstream screen 4 are small in particle size. large. Further, the overtail including the skin portion that does not fall from the sieves 4 is guided to the separated product outlet 3.

  The semolina particles dropped from the sieves 4 are collected and classified by the inner trough 5 and the outer trough 6. That is, semolina particles that have been sieved are collected in the inner trough 5 and outer trough 6, and further, the inner trough 5 communicates with one central drop port 7 and takes out the semolina particles that have passed through the sieve to the outside. In the outer trough 6, semolina particles having different particle sizes are connected to the upstream dropping port 8 that has passed through the large sieve and the downstream dropping port 9 that has passed through the small sieve, respectively. It is taken out.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the rectifying plate for preventing uneven suction of the powder on the sieve 4 is disposed above the air distribution chamber 18, the suction force in the width direction on the sieve 4. Became even, and it became possible to suck the powder evenly to prevent uneven suction. Moreover, if the baffle plate is formed in the rectangular punching metal, the hole diameter is in the range of 4.5 to 8.0 mm, and the aperture ratio is 51% or less, the width direction on the sieve 4 The effect of equalizing the suction force is remarkably improved as compared with the conventional case, and the effect of sucking the powder evenly to prevent suction unevenness is enhanced. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting direction of the rectifying plate 20 is inclined at a position of 30 degrees from the horizontal direction in the rectifying plate 20B and at a position of 150 degrees from the horizontal direction in the rectifying plate 20A. In particular, in the case of a double structure in which sieve boxes are arranged in two rows, the current plate is arranged in an inverted “C” shape. Thereby, there is little accumulation of the powder on the upper surface of the baffle plate 20, and it becomes possible to reduce the maintenance after operation.

  The present invention can be applied to a purifier that uses both the vibrating action of the sieve and the action of the air flow that passes upward from the lower side of the sieve, and a sieve apparatus that is divided into a vibration system component and a non-vibration system component.
