Description

The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying a solid material to a pressurized container or a sealed container in the apparatus industry.

(Patent Document 1) Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-215391 proposes a resin raw material supply device for a synthetic resin molding machine. This is because the gas generated in the casing of the heating cylinder is sucked and exhausted by supplying the resin raw material. The purpose is to eliminate the influence of the generated dust and eliminate clogging of the filter and the decrease in detection accuracy of the level sensor. Since the raw material form handled here is powder or pellets, the purpose is to input solid raw materials. There was a difficulty where it was not applicable.
(Patent Document 2) Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-418816 proposes a biomass raw material supply apparatus for a biomass conversion gas generator, which is due to clogging of plant powder raw materials such as wood powder into an input pipe. Plant powder for a biomass conversion gas generator that is prevented and can stably supply plant powder raw materials into the furnace, thereby enabling stable operation with excellent safety. There is a difficulty in providing a granule raw material apparatus, and the raw material form handled here is also a powder granule, and therefore cannot be applied to the purpose of supplying a solid raw material.
(Patent Document 3) In Japanese Patent Application No. 8-011877, a method for supplying raw materials to a fermentation tank in sake production has been proposed, but this is due to the problem of air transportation of koji and steamed rice to the fermentation tank in the production of sake. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problem, and in adding raw materials to the fermentation tank, the rice bran or steamed rice and pumped water are mixed in advance, and the rice cake or steamed rice is pumped together with the pumped water. This is a raw material supply method to a tank, and since the raw material form handled here is a granule or a liquid, there is a difficulty in that it cannot be applied to the purpose of supplying a solid raw material as described above.

Conventionally, in the equipment industry, operations such as pressure supply / decompression or raw material supply to a sealed container have been performed on a daily basis, but the raw material form supplied to the container is gas, liquid, or granular material. Although the method is relatively easy and technically established, there has been a problem in that no clear proposal has been made for the supply method using solid raw materials. An object of the present invention is to supply a solid raw material to these pressurized / reduced or sealed containers while maintaining the pressurized / reduced or sealed state without opening the container to the atmosphere.

The concave bucket by the push plate (a) arranged at the position Until the passage through the gate-type opening / closing mechanism (a) for communicating / blocking the cylindrical casing and the rectangular casing opening (a) disposed in the other opening (b) After the plate (a) is pushed in to push the raw material into the rectangular casing, the push plate (a) is pulled back to a predetermined position, and the gate type opening / closing mechanism (a) is closed. When the pressure-reducing or sealed container is pressurized, the valve (a) and the valve (c) are opened to equalize the pressure of the container and the rectangular casing, and the container is depressurized. In this case, after starting the pressure reducing pump and opening the valve (b) to bring the rectangular casing into a depressurized state, the valve (b) is closed and the valve (a) is opened to open the container and the rectangular shape. The pressure in the casing is equalized, the gate type opening / closing mechanism (b) is opened, and the raw material is fed to the gate by the push plate (b). When the pushing plate (b) passes through the gate opening / closing mechanism (b), the pushing operation is stopped and the pushing plate (b) is pulled back to a predetermined position.

Conventionally, when supplying a solid raw material to a pressurized or sealed container, the operation of the container is stopped one by one, the raw material supply port of the container is opened, and the solid raw material is supplied manually or automatically. However, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically supply the solid raw material during the operation of the container to the pressurized or sealed container, so that the container in operation can be cooled every time the raw material is supplied. Since the raw material can be supplied without returning to pressure, the operating rate of the container is dramatically improved, and the effects of improving productivity or downsizing of the container can greatly contribute to resource saving and energy saving, and also to the global environment. It has become possible to provide society with a gentle and excellent solid raw material supply device.
