Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the overall configuration of the container holding type mixing apparatus of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view taken in the direction of the arrow II in FIG. 1, and FIG.
FIG. In these figures, 10 is a container for containing powder particles or the like to be mixed, and 11 is a holding frame for holding the container 10. The holding frame 11 is supported by a rotary shaft 13 rotatably installed on a frame 14. The rotating shaft 13 is provided obliquely with respect to the holding frame 11 as shown in FIG. 2, and the holding frame 11 has the rotating shaft 1 as shown in FIG.
It is designed to rotate in the A direction around 3 times. Reference numeral 12 is a drive device for the rotating shaft 13, 15 is a bed, and 16 is a safety fence.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing the container, and FIG. 5 is FIG.
6 is a view on arrow V of FIG. 6, and FIG. 6 is a view on arrow VI of FIG. Container 1
Reference numeral 0 is composed of a container-shaped main body 20 and a pedestal 24. The main body 20 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a narrowed bottom,
It has an inlet 21 at the top and an outlet 22 at the bottom. The upper surface of the main body 20 is a flat surface. The frame 24 is the outlet 2
4 pipes 25b that are horizontal and located on the same plane as the four pipes 25a that are vertically provided to surround 2
It consists of and. Pipe 25b is the adjacent pipe 2
It is provided across the lower end of 5a, and both ends thereof are welded to the pipe 25a. A caster 23 is attached to the lower end of each pipe 25a.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the holding frame 11. In FIG. 7, the B side is the front. The holding frame 11 is composed of a rectangular parallelepiped frame body 100 having a front surface and a lower surface continuously opened, and a clamp mechanism 200. The frame body 100 includes an upper surface frame 110, both side surface frames 120 and 130, and a rear surface frame 14.
It is composed of 0 and. The top frame 110 includes both side frame 1
Two middle frames 111 and 112 are provided in parallel across 20 and 130. The middle frames 111 and 112 are separated by a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the input port 21 of the container 10. Cross-shaped middle frames 121 and 131 are provided on both side frames 120 and 130. On the rear frame 140, two middle frames 141 and 142 are provided in parallel so as to extend vertically. Further, the hydraulic cylinders 50 are provided on the two inner frames 141 and 142, respectively.
Has been fixed. The two hydraulic cylinders 50 are provided so that their rods 51 penetrate the lower frame 143 of the rear frame 140 and move up and down.

On the other hand, the clamp mechanism 200 includes two clamp pieces 201 and a support frame 2 for supporting the clamp pieces 201.
02. The lower ends of the two rods 51 are connected to the upper surface of the support frame 202. The lower ends of the two guide bars 52 are also connected to the upper surface of the support frame 202.
The guide rod 52 penetrates the lower frame 143, and the middle frames 141, 1
The inside of 42 is also inserted so that it can slide up and down. As a result, the support frame 202 is guided by the guide rod 52 and moves vertically in a horizontal state by the vertical movement of the rod 51. The hydraulic cylinder 50 is a rod 51
The support frame 202 is set so as to reach the substantially floor surface when is extended to the lowermost end. Two clamp pieces 201
Extend in parallel from the support frame 202 toward the front surface (B side), and are horizontally and firmly supported by the support frame 202. The distance X (FIG. 7) between both clamp pieces 201 is set smaller than the distance Y (FIG. 4) between both pipes 24a on the front side of the container 10.

FIG. 8 is a view on arrow VIII of FIG. In FIG. 8, 300 is a stopper for preventing the container 10 held by the holding frame 11 from jumping out from the holding frame 11 when the container 10 is rotated. The stopper 300 includes the side frame 12
One of 0 and 130, here, a plate body rotatably provided on the front surface of the vertical frame 122 on the front side of the side surface frame 120 with one end side as a fulcrum. Then, it is fixed and comes into pressure contact with the container 10 in the holding frame 11.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. 9 and 10, the holding frame 11 is schematically shown from the side. First, the hydraulic cylinder 50 is operated to extend the rod 51 to the lowermost end. Next in FIG.
As shown in, the container 10 is moved to the lower side of the frame body 100 by using the casters 23, and is positioned on the clamp piece 201 as follows. That is, both clamp pieces 201 pass between both pipes 25a on the back side of the container 10 and between both pipes 25a on the front side and are located below the pipe 25b. Next, the hydraulic cylinder 50 is operated to raise the support frame 202 and the clamp piece 201, thereby raising the container 10 and storing the container 10 in the frame body 100. Even if the upper surface 20a of the main body 20 of the container 10 contacts the upper surface frame 110 of the frame body 100, the hydraulic cylinder 50 is operated for a while to move the upper surface 20a to the upper surface frame 110.
To press. As a result, the container 10 is pressed against the frame 100 by the clamp mechanism 200, that is, the container 10
Are fixed in the holding frame 11. Then, the stopper 300 is rotated from the state of the chain line in FIG. 8 to the state of the solid line as shown by the arrow. Then, the drive device 12 rotates the rotating shaft 13 to rotate the holding frame 11. This allows the container 10
Are rotated and the contents of the container 10 are mixed.

In the apparatus having the above structure, as described above, the clamp mechanism 200 lifts the container 10 to be housed in the holding frame 11 and is fixed in the holding frame 11. That is, the container 10 is continuously stored and fixed in the holding frame 11 by the clamp mechanism 200. Therefore, container 1
Compared to the conventional two-step work of lifting 0 with a carrier such as a forklift to store 0 in the holding frame 11 and then operating the clamping means, the use of the carrier is eliminated and the work is simplified. To be done. Further, since the stopper 300 is provided, it is possible to reliably prevent the container 10 from jumping out of the holding frame 11 during rotation.

In addition to the structure of the above embodiment, the following means may be provided to further secure the holding of the container 10. For example, a wire (not shown) having one end fixed to the lower end of the vertical frame 122, 132 (FIG. 7) on the front side of one or both of the side frame 120, 130 is provided, and the other end of the wire is in the raised position. It may be configured to be tightly connected to the tip of the clamp piece 201. Alternatively, a wire that similarly connects the frame body 100 and the support frame 202 may be provided. According to these, the pressing of the container 10 to the frame 100 by the clamp mechanism 200 is reliably maintained, and the container 10 is more reliably held. Further, the hydraulic cylinder 50 may be provided on the side frames 120 and 130. Further, in the above embodiment, both clamp pieces 201 are applied to the pipe 25b from the lower side, but a receiving portion of both clamp pieces 201 is formed in the lower portion of the main body 20, and both clamp pieces 201 are formed in the receiving portion. May be applied from the lower side.

[0015]

As described above, according to the container holding type mixing apparatus of the present invention, the holding frame 11 lifts the container 10 and stores it in the holding frame 11, and presses the stored container 10 into the holding frame 11. Clamp mechanism 2
00, it is possible to continuously store and fix the container 10 in the holding frame 11 by the clamp mechanism 200. Therefore, in order to store the container 10 in the holding frame 11, a carrier such as a forklift. The conventional method of lifting with 2 and then operating the clamping means
The use of a carrier can be eliminated and the work can be simplified as compared with the stepwise work.
