Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a powder and particle quantitative take-out device capable of taking out powder and powder contained therein by a preset volume.

  In general, when taking out powdered foodstuffs such as coffee, powdered milk, sugar, seasonings, and powdered flavors, they are taken out from the storage container using a takeout tool such as a measuring spoon. There was a slight change. In particular, when taking out powdered foodstuffs and powdered fragrances as a business, it is important to take out a predetermined amount of the powdered bodies in order to maintain a constant flavor and quality. It is a request.

  Therefore, conventionally, granular or powdery powders such as flavorings, seasonings, coffee, powdered milk, sugar, etc. are accommodated in the container, and after the container is tilted or inverted, the container is returned to the upright posture. A powder quantitative extractor has been proposed in which powder fluid in a container is stored in an installed weighing unit and the container is tilted again to take out a certain amount of powder stored in the measurement chamber. Yes.

JP 2004-123139 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-106117

  What is shown in Patent Document 1 is fitted with an opening cylinder in the opening of the container body, and a cap with a skirt portion surrounding the opening cylinder suspended from the inner surface of the ceiling wall is fitted to the container body. By inverting the cap and the container main body in an integrated state, the powder fluid stored in the container main body is moved to the measuring chamber formed inside the cap skirt, and then the container main body and the cap. Is returned to an upright posture while moving the powder fluid in the measuring chamber to the storage part formed in the cap outside the opening cylinder, and the granular material stored in the storage part is discharged from the discharge port. It is configured to be taken out to the outside.

  However, in this case, at the time of the posture change from the inverted posture to the upright posture, a part of the granular material staying in the measuring chamber is returned to the opening of the container main body from the opening of the opening cylinder into the container main body. In some cases, the taken-out powder volume varies, and the accuracy of the take-out capacity is low.

  On the other hand, what is disclosed in the cited document 2 is configured such that a measuring chamber is configured by partitioning an upper corner portion of a container body with a partition plate, and a discharge port is provided in an upper portion of the measuring chamber.

  However, in this case, the upper and lower partition plates provided at the upper corner of the container are formed in such a posture that the upper end portion communicates with the storage chamber in the container, and the upper end of the partition plate communicates with the discharge port. Since the inner end (lower end) of the inclined outer wall of the container forming the channel is set to the same height, the upper end of the partition plate is exceeded when discharging the material weighed in the weighing chamber. The powder particles may flow into the weighing chamber, or a part of the powder fluid stored in the weighing chamber may flow back to the communication channel with the storage chamber in the container. There was a problem of low.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a powder and particle quantitative take-out device capable of weighing and taking out powder particles in units of 1/10 grams.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention according to claim 1 is configured such that a measuring chamber and a discharge path are arranged vertically on one side of a powder and granular material storage chamber disposed in a container body, and a base of the discharge path is provided. An end is formed in the standby chamber, the measuring chamber and the standby chamber are connected with a small communication path, and the measuring chamber formed on the upper side of the powder storage chamber is connected to the upper part of the powder storage chamber. The inner wall surface of the granular material storage chamber on the measuring chamber forming side is formed in an upwardly extending shape with the container body in an upright posture, and the discharge channel is in an upright posture on the inner wall surface of the granular material storage chamber on the measuring chamber forming side. It is characterized in that it is formed obliquely upward at an angle that is gentler than the inclination angle, and the axial center of the communication passage that communicates the weighing chamber and the standby chamber is formed in a substantially vertical direction in a container upright posture. .

  In the present invention, the upper end portion of the weighing chamber disposed near the upper end of the one side in the container body in the upright posture is communicated with the upper end portion of the granular material storage chamber, and the measurement chamber forming side of the granular material storage chamber is arranged. Since the inner wall surface is formed so as to expand upward, by tilting the container body, the granular material stored and stored in the granular material storage chamber is formed in an inclined shape. It flows into the measuring chamber side along the inner wall surface on the measuring chamber forming side. And the communication passage formed so that the measuring chamber and the standby chamber formed at the base end portion of the discharge channel have a small diameter formed in a small opening cross-sectional area and are substantially vertical in the container upright posture Therefore, when the container body is returned to the upright posture, the amount of powder that is commensurate with the volume of the measuring chamber flows down the small communication path and is formed in the back of the discharge path. It will flow down to the waiting room and wait. Subsequently, when the container body is tilted, the granular material staying in the standby chamber is taken out of the container from the discharge passage, and the granular material newly flows into the measuring chamber from the granular material storage chamber. , Will stay. In the next operation, when the container main body is returned to the upright posture, the granular material that has flowed into and stayed in the measuring chamber flows down to the standby chamber and waits for the next extraction operation.

  In the present invention that operates in this manner, a predetermined amount of powder and granular material can be taken out by one tilting operation, and a predetermined amount of powder is transferred from the granular material storage chamber to the measuring chamber in preparation for the next removal operation. Granules will flow in, and the next extraction amount can be prepared, so that continuous extraction can be performed smoothly. In addition, as described above, since the granular material weighed in the measurement chamber flows down to the standby chamber and prepares for the next removal, the discharge passage directly from the granular material storage chamber at the time of tilting operation or returning operation of the container body It is no longer flowed into the container or returned from the measuring chamber to the granular material storage chamber, so that the accuracy of the removal amount can be maintained at a high level.

It is a perspective view of the granular material fixed quantity taking-out device which shows one Embodiment of this invention. It is a center longitudinal cross-sectional view of the granular material fixed quantity take-out device shown in FIG. It is a top view of the granular material fixed quantity take-out device shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the taking-out procedure of a granular material.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a powder quantitative extractor according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This powder and granular quantity take-out device includes a container main body (1), a lid (2) covering the upper surface of the container main body (1), and a take-out pipe led out obliquely upward from a side surface portion of the container main body (1). It consists of a cap (4) fitted in (3).

  The container main body (1) has a cylindrical shape as a basic shape, has a shape in which the lower part on one side is removed like a wedge in an upright posture, and the above-described take-out pipe (3) is located on the inclined lower wall portion. . In the container main body (1), the granular material storage chamber (5), the discharge passage (6) penetrating the inside of the extraction pipe (3), and the upper side of the discharge passage (6) are arranged. A measuring chamber (7) and a communication passage (8) communicating the measuring chamber (7) and the discharge passage (6) are formed. The measuring chamber (7) is formed in a substantially funnel shape.

  The wall surface (9) located on the side of the powder storage chamber (5) where the measuring chamber (7) is formed is formed so as to have an upwardly expanding shape in a state where the container body (1) is in an upright posture. The upper end portion is formed so as to have a small gap (10) between the inner wall of the lid (2), and the granular material storage chamber ( 5) and the measuring chamber (7) are communicated with each other so that the small gap (10) is introduced into the measuring chamber (7). In addition, the inclination angle of the wall surface (9) located on the side where the measuring chamber (7) of the granular material storage chamber (5) is formed is such that the container body described later is inclined to discharge the granular material from the discharge path. In this case, the granular material is formed at an angle at which it can smoothly flow on the wall surface (9).

  The communication passage (8) is substantially in the upright posture of the container body (1) in a state where the most part of the discharge chamber (6) side of the measuring chamber (7) communicates with the innermost portion of the discharge passage (6). The standby chamber (11) is formed by a part formed near the lower end of the communication path (7) and a part near the rear end of the discharge path (6).

  In the granular material fixed quantity taking-out device configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), in the granular material storage chamber (5) of the container main body (1), granular food products, granular fragrances, etc. Accommodates and stores the powder (P). Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the container body (1) is tilted so that the continuous portion of the take-out pipe (3) is lowered. Then, the granular material (P) in the granular material storage chamber (5) is guided to the inclined wall surface (9) located on the weighing chamber (7) side, and is passed from the granular material introduction path (10). It flows into the measuring chamber (7).

  As shown in FIG. 4 (C), once the tilted container body (1) is returned to the upright posture, the granular material (P) is separated from the upper edge of the inclined wall surface (9). The granular material (P) flowing into the measuring chamber (7) flows down to the standby chamber (11) through the communication passage (8), and the granular material (P) that could not flow into the measuring chamber (7) is It will be returned to the granular material storage chamber (5).

It will flow from the passage (10) into the measuring chamber (7).

  Hereinafter, by repeating the operation of returning to the upright posture and the operation of tilting to take out the granular material (P) retained in the standby chamber (11), a constant amount is continuously generated by only one reciprocation. Powder particles can be taken out.

  In the above-described embodiment, the powder storage chamber (5) is described as having a circular cross section. However, the cross section of the powder storage chamber (5) has a star shape even if it is a bowl. May be. In this case, it is preferable to form the corner portion so as to correspond to the inclined wall surface (9). Moreover, you may make it form the groove-shaped recessed part which follows the upper end direction (longitudinal direction) from the lower end in the wall surface (9) located in the measurement chamber (7) side of a granular material storage chamber (5).

  Furthermore, you may form the wall surface (9) located in the measurement chamber (7) side of a granular material storage chamber (5) from the lower end to the curved surface of an upper end direction. In this case, it is desirable to form a kamaboko-shaped convex curved surface in consideration of the fluidity of the granular material from the granular material storage chamber (5).

  In the powder and particle quantitative take-out device having the above-described configuration, when the communication passage (8) communicating the measuring chamber (7) and the back end of the discharge passage (6) holds the container body (1) in an upright posture. The communication passage (8) is discharged when the container body (1) is tilted so as to take out the granular material staying in the standby chamber (11). Since the rear end side of the path (6) is in a rising and inclined state, the air in the measuring chamber (7) escapes through the discharge path (6), and the powder particles smoothly flow into the measuring chamber (7). Thus, the granular material can be measured and taken out with high accuracy in units of 0.1 gram.
