In any one of claims 1 to 4,
Partition members of various shapes and systems, supply ports, hoppers, pipes,
Chute, supply tank, frame or positioning device,
It is possible to use various auxiliary equipment such as a computer, and further, it is possible to combine with other auxiliary equipment and the like, and what kind of equipment is arbitrary is not limited to the exemplified ones and various Various devices can be made by combining various methods. As the partition member, various shapes and materials or combinations thereof can be used, and as the material of the partition member, metal, ceramics, plastic,
Materials made of rubber, paper, wood, non-woven fabric, knitted fabric, etc. can be used, and any material can be used as long as it has a hardness capable of separating powder particles, and the height of the partition member can be supplied. It is preferable to use the same as or thicker than the thickness of the powder or granular material, and it may be determined according to the required thickness of the powder or granular material layer and the shape or system of the device. The thickness of the powder or granular material supplied on the reference surface can be changed by changing the height or shape of the partition member or the shape of the supply port, controlling the supply amount, or the like.
It can be changed arbitrarily. In any case,
The partition member may be fixed or movable, and when movable, it can be moved up and down, front and back, left and right, the angle can be changed, it can be expanded and contracted forward and backward, it can be bent, and it can be bent according to the curve to express. What can be done is desirable. Also, various other deformable partition members can be used. Furthermore, by using various deformable partitioning members and various shapes of supply ports, it is possible to continuously change from a clean line to a line in which different types of powders are mixed, or from a thin line to a thick line. It becomes possible to perform various complicated and sophisticated expressions by continuously shifting to. The main partitioning member is a partitioning member which is always on the reference surface for supplying the powdery or granular material, mainly faces in the traveling direction, and divides the left and right of the traveling direction exclusively. The auxiliary partitioning member is a partitioning member which is normally located outside the reference surface such as above the reference surface and is arranged on the reference surface as necessary, and separates various directions different from the traveling direction. The main partitioning member and the auxiliary partitioning member may change their roles from each other. For example, in the case of the devices shown in FIGS. 13 to 17, the supply tank and the partitioning member are combined in a one-to-one or one-to-two combination to form a unit. Therefore, the main partitioning member and the auxiliary partitioning member are determined for the first time in a combination of a plurality of units, and the main partitioning member and the auxiliary partitioning member are exchanged when the unit is replaced or the traveling direction of the device is changed. Partition member to auxiliary partition member,
The auxiliary partition member takes over the role of the main partition member. Moreover, FIG.
In the case of 3 to 17, etc., the main partitioning member consists of two partitioning members, one with a partitioning member on the right side of the supply tank and one with a partitioning member on the left side of the supply tank. Each member shares the role of a main partition member.
In this way, a plurality of partition members may share the same role, and other devices may also change the role or share the same role. The number of partition members including the main partition member and the auxiliary partition member is not limited to the example, and may be determined according to the complexity of the pattern to be expressed and the number of types such as the number of colors of the granular material. The auxiliary partition member is used by combining it with the main partition member by rotating it around a predetermined axis provided near the main partition member, or by squeezing it out from another direction such as diagonal, vertical or horizontal, and combining it with the main partition member. Well if,
The approaching direction may be from the front in the traveling direction, from both sides, from diagonally above, or from any direction from above as shown in FIGS. It may be determined in consideration of the positions of the hopper and the like. In addition, as shown in FIGS.
Units are combined in pairs of 1 or 1 and 2, the partition member arranged along the traveling direction is used as the main partition member, and the partition member arranged diagonally or transversely in the traveling direction is used as the auxiliary partition member. You may change and combine. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a main partition member and an auxiliary partition member may be attached to a moving partition type hopper chute in which a hopper-shaped chute is partitioned, and used in combination. Further, when the auxiliary partitioning member and the main partitioning member are combined and partitioned, the supply tank, the auxiliary partitioning member and the main partitioning member are moved vertically and horizontally and vertically, respectively, even by moving only the auxiliary partitioning member as shown in FIG. Either of the method of moving the supply tank with the main partition member as it is and moving one auxiliary partition member between them to lower it, or conversely, the method of moving the main partition member with the supply tank as it is and moving the auxiliary partition member between them. But it's okay. In the case of a unit in which the supply tank and the partition member are combined in a one-to-one manner as shown in FIGS. 13 to 19, the partition member can be directly attached to the supply tank and fixed integrally, or can be raised and lowered as shown in FIG. Any movable type may be used, and in order to switch the left and right supply directions with respect to the positions of the supply tank, the chute, the pipe, and the hopper, any partition member may be provided so that it can be raised and lowered separately. Further, it is preferable that the respective supply tanks, chutes, pipes, and hoppers can be raised and lowered individually as a whole. Assuming that the supply partition unit in which the partition member and the supply tank are integrated is a unit in which the chute, the pipe, the hopper, and the supply tank are arranged on one side including the partition member and the upward extension line of the partition member, as shown in FIGS. When combining the partition members of a plurality of units, it is preferable that the spaces above the partition members can be used neatly by combining them neatly and the degree of freedom of combination can be increased. For the same reason, it is desirable that the cross-sectional shape of the supply tank be any of a fan shape, a triangle, a trapezoid, a fan trapezoid, a square, and a circle, and the unit to be combined is vertical. Regarding the number and shape of the supply tanks, any shape and any number may be used, and the number and shape are not limited to the examples. The supply tank may be fixed switching type, exchange switching type as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 13, FIG. 18, etc., or movement switching type. In the case of movement switching type, rotation switching as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 etc. The expression is easy to control, which is preferable, and the rotation direction may be any, and the rotation method may be an axial rotation method as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 or any method such as a conveyor method. Further, by combining the movement switching type and the exchange switching type so that the supply tank can be replaced as in the case of FIG. 1, it can be used in combination with various replacement supply mechanisms, and various types can be used according to the expression of various patterns. This is preferable because the powder and granules can be efficiently supplied. Further, the positional relationship of the supply tank with respect to the partition member may be either separated or integrated. When the supply tank is arranged separately, either the upper left or the upper right in the traveling direction of the partition member, the upper front or the upper rear. However, it is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to arrange it in the front upper part because the pattern to be expressed next can be easily dealt with when pretreatment is required. Therefore, the positional relationship with respect to the partition member when using a chute, a pipe, and a hopper may be the same as in the case of the supply tank, and in this case, the supply tank may be placed separately or in the vicinity thereof. . The case where the supply tank and the partition member are integrated is the same as that described above for the unit. The supply from the supply tank may be performed directly or through any of a chute, a pipe, and a hopper, and the supply is not limited to the illustrated one, and various methods and combinations can be performed. For example, it may be supplied from a supply tank via a chute, a pipe, or a hopper in a fixed quantity by a pipe conveyor, air pressure feeding, or the like. Further, it may be combined with a continuous color compounding device to supply materials having different colors. The powder particles may be supplied from the replenishment tank to the supply tank in a metered manner by a pipe conveyor or the like, or by air pressure feeding or another method. Furthermore, in combination with a continuous color blender,
We can also supply materials with different colors. In any case, the gate is operated from the upper part of the supply tank, for example, a cone, a hinge, various rotary valves, etc. that are opened / closed by pushing down or pulling up from the top of the supply tank, electrically driven, such as Various electric gates, valves, etc.
It is possible to use various things such as those that open and close with the raising and lowering of the supply tank, such as slit gates, or those that open and close with the up and down of the partition member, such as cones, hinges, various rotary valves, slit gates, etc. Not limited. In any case, as the positioning device, in addition to the portal frame as shown in FIG. 6, various kinds of devices such as a parallel movement positioning device, a rectangular coordinate positioning device, a rectangular coordinate robot, a joint robot, a cylindrical coordinate robot, a polar coordinate robot, etc. Positioning machinery can be used. It is advisable to attach an auxiliary device such as a vibrating device or an electrostatic eliminator, or various auxiliary tools to each device, if necessary. The reference surface may be any of a form bottom plate, a sheet, a belt, a plate, a double-action press bottom plate or the like, or a form bottom plate placed on a conveyor as a reference surface.

In order to express a pattern as a layer having a predetermined thickness, an auxiliary frame or a mask is always required in the conventional method, but according to the present invention, it can be expressed without using an auxiliary frame or a mask. As a result, the cost required for the production of a single item has been drastically reduced, making it easy to produce a wide variety of products in small quantities. Also, it is suitable for automation, easy to connect to a computer, and can handle any pattern with software, so that it can handle small areas and large areas, and productivity has increased. According to the present invention, when expressing the contour portion of a pattern, it is possible to efficiently combine partition members according to the pattern to be expressed, so that it becomes possible to easily express a figure with sharp corners,
As a result, it is possible to efficiently express the delicate angles of the pattern boundaries and intersecting parts, etc. Furthermore, it has become possible to efficiently supply various granular materials with different colors and textures. It is now possible to efficiently express various colors and textures. In addition, by combining with various positioning devices such as robots, it becomes possible to express patterns with clear boundaries between each pattern, even in small areas and large areas. Since it allows for subtle expression, the productivity has improved and the quality of the pattern to be expressed has improved. By linking with a computer, it has become possible to efficiently produce high-quality molded products with patterns. Further, according to the method of claim 5, since the granular material is layered first, it is possible to efficiently express the base portion, and to color the sucked granular material or the prepared base material on the spot. It is also possible to easily change the color continuously by a method of adding materials or the like. By these manufacturing methods, the concrete layer, the artificial stone molded body, the sintered body of the ceramic molded body, the ceramic molded body, the metal molded body, and the thick coating, in which the pattern layer is exposed on a part or the whole surface to express the pattern. Painted molded products, plastic molded products, confectionery and other molded food products can be easily produced, and even if the surface of the pattern layer is worn away, the expressed pattern does not disappear or become unsightly. Since the pattern layer is formed by combining dry pattern materials, each material collapses and can be supplied without gaps, the boundaries between the pattern layers can be expressed finely, and the pattern is very clear.
