A device having a configuration as disclosed in the above publication is known.

In such a conventional 'An, as shown in FIG. 7, a cylindrical hopper part a containing powder A such as grain flour is separated by a partition plate into a four-layer storage part C and waste waste II? A support part f to which a drive motor e is attached is attached to the bottom of the storage part d, and a powder quantitative supply mechanism is incorporated into this support part fJ-.

In addition, this powder quantitative supply mechanism has a rotary table h, which is rotatably driven by a drive motor e, disposed on the support table f'' and has rotary fingers g protruding from the outer periphery of the rotary table h. At the same time assembling the stirring body i into the synchronous pjt transfer plate in the second part, the stirring body j protruding from the head of the stirring body It has a configuration facing C.

The rotary finger g protruding from the outer periphery of the rotary table h allows the powder A in the lower storage section d that passes through an opening (not shown) opened in the partition plate and is deposited on the rotary table h. The stirring body of the stirring body
By rotating the opening of the partition plate at the center of the opening, the powder A stored in the storage section C of the -L layer of the hopper section a is transferred to the opening of the partition plate. It is designed to prevent you from doing so.

Then, the powder A accumulated in the lower m storage section d is rotated together with the rotary table b, and the outer periphery is swept by a scraper that can move forward and backward by +'+'lf, thereby removing the powder from the discharge port Q. At this time, by moving the scraper forward and backward, the scraping paper of the powder A, that is, the amount of discharge is 51 pieces.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional powder quantitative feeding device described in L, powder A such as grain flour has a high fluidity due to its unique moisture content. Therefore, each time the fry of Powder A is changed, the discharge land owner changes.

In addition, since a scraper k is used as a means for discharging powder A, the amount of powder A discharged may change by several percent due to a slight wobble or difference in the position of the scraper. It is not possible to accurately confirm the set amount other than by measuring the discharge h(.

Further, the hopper part a is separated from the upper layer It? by a partition plate. Since the storage section C and the lower storage section d are partitioned and fixedly installed, it is especially important to remove the components of the powder quantitative supply mechanism arranged in the lower storage section d and this lower storage section d. There was a problem in that it was not easy to clean after each use and was unhygienic.

[Objective of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a powder quantitative supply device that can be easily cleaned and can accurately discharge a fixed amount of powder related to powder fry (J (It's about doing.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention has a hopper section in which powder such as grain flour is stored, and an upper storage section and a lower storage section at the bottom of the hopper section. A support part is assembled so that it can be disassembled and reassembled through a partition plate, and the hopper part is assembled into a lower storage part through a plurality of openings provided in the partition plate. In a powder quantitative imitation device equipped with a powder quantitative supply mechanism that feeds the supplied powder at a constant e4J+, this powder quantitative supply mechanism (i) The same dry plate is provided with a plurality of fixed-volume wells spaced at equal intervals in the circumferential direction in which a fixed amount of powder to be supplied to the lower storage part is stored in the outer 11 part 1 corresponding to the dry plate; The assembly is mounted so as to rotate the rotary plates synchronously, and has a plurality of rotary fingers protruding from the outer periphery at corresponding positions such that the respective square portions are located between them, and at the bottom of the support frame. The partition plate is connected to an S-rolling body that is connected to an installed drive motor and rotates, and a plurality of stirring rods that are attached to the top of the four-wheeled body in a synchronously rotating manner and protrude from the outer periphery of the head. The stirring body, which faces the inside of the storage section, is assembled on top of the hopper section through the hopper section, and can be disassembled.

In addition, the present invention provides a method for supplying powder in a fixed amount.
d The dry plate was configured to be rotated and controlled so that the powder contained in each of the dry plate fell by its own weight according to the number of pieces corresponding to the drop opening of each dry plate. It is something.

[Function] That is, the present invention applies to all devices i! Since the two components can be disassembled and assembled in sequence, the device can be easily cleaned.

In addition, when feeding a fixed amount of powder (I), the powder contained in each cavity of the same dry plate is caused to fall and be discharged from the droplet by its own weight according to the number of pieces corresponding to the droplet of each cavity of the dry plate. Since the rotation of the rotary plate is controlled, variations in the supply amount due to differences in the powder fry, individual differences in the equipment, etc. are reduced.

Furthermore, by reducing the variation in the supply amount due to individual differences in such an apparatus, precise control of the powder supply amount can be performed.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6.

FIG. 2 schematically shows the overall configuration of a noodle-making device equipped with a powder metering device (supplying device) according to the present invention, and numeral 1 in the figure is the main body of the device.
