A first valve device provided in communication with each other, a blower provided with a suction port connected to a third communication port of the first valve device via a communication pipe, and a second port and a third port with respect to the first port.
A switching valve is provided to switch the communication of the ports, and the first port is connected to the discharge port of the blower and the second port is connected to the return port of the storage tank, and the first port and the second communication port are connected. and an air intake port, and a second communication port and a damper for opening and closing the second communication port and the air intake port, the first communication port being connected to the air port of the metering device, and the second communication port being connected to the connection pipe. By providing a second valve device which is provided in communication with each other, the above-mentioned conventional problems are solved.

[Effect]

Operate the damper of the first valve device to close the air intake port and the third communication port, and open the first communication port and the second communication port,
Also, move the damper of the second valve device to open the second communication port,
While closing the air intake port, the third port is closed by operating the valve of the switching valve, the second port is prepared to communicate with the first port, and the blower is operated. By the operation of this blower, the objects to be transferred such as feathers in the storage tank are moved to the first valve of the first valve device! The second connecting row enters the measuring container through the entrance/exit of the measuring container. The air that worked to transfer the object in the above process passes through the mesh of the measuring container and escapes to the air port.
2nd connecting row 3rd connecting row connecting pipe of valve device → 1st port → 2nd port of blower suction low discharge low switching valve →
It moves to the return port and enters the storage tank in order to facilitate the transfer of the transferred object.

If the object to be transferred accumulated in the weighing container of the weighing device is to be on standby without being immediately sent out to the outside, move the damper of the first valve device from the above state to close the first communication port and the second communication port. The third communication port and the air intake port are opened, and the second communication port is closed by the damper of the second valve device, and the air intake port is opened to continue operating the blower. In this case, the outside air enters the storage tank from the return port via the air intake low of the first valve device, the third connecting valve, the connecting vibe → the blower suction → the discharge → the first port → the second port of the switching valve, Float the transferred material in the storage tank.

In addition, when weighing objects to be transferred, if a multi-feed object exceeding a predetermined amount is fed into the weighing device, the damper of the first valve device is moved to close the first communication port while leaving the switching valve as it is. The second communication port is opened, and the damper of the second valve device is operated to close the second communication port and open the air intake port to return the excess material to be transferred from the total one device to the storage tank.

Furthermore, in order to transfer a predetermined amount of material fed into the measuring container of the measuring device to the outside, the damper closes the first communication port and the air intake port of the first valve device, and also closes the second communication port. Open the third communication port, close the second communication port of the second valve device with the upper damper, open the air intake port with the upper damper, close the second port of the switching valve with the valve, and connect the Contact the port. By the above operation, the object to be transferred in the measuring container of the measuring device is transferred to the inlet/outlet row of the measuring container, the second connecting row of the first valve device, the third connecting row, the connecting pipe → the suction row of the blower, the discharge port → the switching valve. It moves in order Z from the first port of the switch valve and is transferred to the outside from the third port of the switching valve. At this time, the outside air is
The air enters the metering device from the air intake port of the second valve device through the first communication port and from the air port.
