Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent increase of sliding resistance in an intra-pipe transporting capsule for pneumatic pressure sending by furnishing a pair of caster-equipped partition plates fore and aft, arranging a transported object compressing element between the partition plates, and coupling them while partition plate coupling members are penetrated by the compressing element. CONSTITUTION:A capsule 1 is formed by furnishing a pair of partition plates 3, 3 fore and aft, which are equipped each with a caster 8 and put in contact with the inner surface of a pipe 2, and the capsule 1 is supported in the center of the pipe 2. Each transported object 6 is pinched by the partition plates 3, 3 and penetrated by a coupling member 11 for partition plates 3, 3, which are thus coupled together. Accordingly the capsule 1 is supported in the center of the pipe 2 and moves with the aid of the caster, so that movement without increase of the sliding resistance is accomplished.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention is used in the field of compressing a transported object and transporting it through a pipe under pneumatic pressure.

(b) Prior art In conventional pipe transportation, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-40796, front and rear partition plates are connected by connecting rods.
The objects to be transported are stored between the front and rear partition plates and transported through the pipe using air pressure.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above method, the transport work is carried out in an uncompressed state, so the transport efficiency of the transported goods is very poor, and However, there is a problem in that during transportation, the objects to be transported come into contact with the inner surface of the pipe, increasing sliding resistance.

(d> Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems. In a transportation capsule that uses air pressure to propel the inside of a pipe, a pair of partition plates are provided at the front and rear, and each Install wheels on the partition plate,
The present invention relates to a capsule for transport in a pipe, in which a compressed object to be transported is disposed between the pair of partition plates, and the pair of partition plates are connected by a connecting member passed through the compressed body.

(e) Effect The object to be transported is formed into a rod-shaped compressed body with a through hole in the center using an assimilation machine such as a screw press, the object to be transported is placed between a pair of front and rear partition plates, and the object to be transported is further A pair of partition plates are connected by a connecting member penetrated through the through hole of the transported object, and in this state, air is transported through the pipe.

(f) Examples It is a cell.

The capsule (1) is explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. A pair of partition plates (3) (3) are provided at the front and rear.

The pair of partition plates (3) and (3) have the same structure, so to explain one of them, the outer shape of the partition plate (3) is the same as that of the pipe (2).
It is made somewhat smaller and similar in shape to the inner surface, and a sealing member (4) is attached to the outer periphery, and this sealing member (4) is attached to the pipe (2).
The gap between the inner surface and the partition plate (3) is sealed.

A hole (5) is provided in the center of the partition plate (3), and the partition plate (
A cylindrical support part (7) for supporting the end of an object to be transported (6), which will be described later, protrudes from the inside of 3). and four wheels (
8), and these wheels (8) support the partition plate (3) in the center of the pipe (2) and allow it to be easily moved within the pipe (2).

A buffer member (9) is installed on the outside of the partition plate (3) to absorb the impact when the front and rear capsules (1) collide.

The object to be transported (6) is formed by compressing and solidifying dust using a screw press machine to form a log with a circular cross section, as disclosed in Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-92496@. A through hole (10) is formed in the center of 6) for venting gas during compression and solidification.

The pair of partition plates (3) (3) are arranged so that the transported object (6) is placed between the partition plates (3) (3).
holes (5) (5) and through holes (10) of the transported object (6)
They are integrally connected by a connecting member (13) consisting of the poles 1 to (11) and a nut (12) which are passed through.

Figure 3 shows an embodiment of Haku, in which the partition plate and the connecting member have the same structure as in the previous embodiment, and the material to be transported is compressed and solidified to form a thin-walled pipe (14). Alternatively, uncompressed objects (15) to be transported may be accommodated from the rear and transported under air pressure. The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and its operation will be explained next. First, the object to be transported is compressed and solidified into a log shape using a screw press or the like.

Next, partition plates (3) are used to separate both ends of the log-shaped transported object (6).
(3), and bolts (11) of the connecting member (13) to the holes (5) (5) of the partition plate (3) (3) and the transported object (6). ) through the through hole (10) of the pair of partition plates (3) and tighten with nuts (12).
H3) and the object to be transported (6) are combined together.

The integrally fixed capsule (1) is put into a pipe (21) and transported by air pressure.

When the capsule (1) is pumped to a predetermined position, the connecting member (13) is removed, the partition plates (3) (3) are removed, and the transported object (6) is transferred to the next process, for example, when the transported object is discarded. If it is a material, feed it to an incinerator or crusher.

After taking out the transported object (6), the partition plates (3) (3) and the connecting member (13) are returned together by a freight car or the like to the capsule assembly location.

(g) Effects of the invention As described above, the present invention compresses the transported object, supports both ends of the transported object with partition plates, and also prevents a pair of insufficient supply.
The disadvantage of increased sliding resistance can be completely eliminated,
Furthermore, the handling of the transported objects becomes extremely easy, which brings about great effects.
