Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to granular material feeders for feeding a granular material into a container, such as a bag.
  • An air gun has been known as a means for feeding a granular material, such as powders, grains, or chips (fragments), into, e.g., a bag, and is configured to utilize compressed air to discharge a granular material by the ejector effect produced by the gas flow.
  • a granular material such as powders, grains, or chips (fragments)
  • the air gun is used, the granular material is manually fed into a container, such as a bag, by an operator, and thus, the granular material tends to be unevenly distributed in the container.
  • Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. S61-54641 describes an apparatus configured to allow a measuring frame to hold a bag, feed a granular material and compressed air into the bag, and stop the feeding of the granular material when a value measured by the measuring frame reaches a set value.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. S61-54641 describes an apparatus configured to allow a measuring frame to hold a bag, feed a granular material and compressed air into the bag, and stop the feeding of the granular material when a value measured by the measuring frame reaches a set value.
  • H02-296603 relates to an apparatus for charging, not a granular material, but liquid into a receptacle, and describes that a liquid filling nozzle is moved downward to the inside bottom of the receptacle, and while the nozzle is moved upward, liquid is injected into the receptacle, and that the speed at which the nozzle moves upward is varied depending on the shape of the receptacle.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. H11-255212 describes that after a granular material has been charged into a bag, a nozzle at the lower end of an air feed pipe is positioned toward the mouth of the bag, and compressed air is blown through the nozzle to a sealing portion of the bag mouth to remove a deposit.
  • H07-285518 describes that a nozzle is fitted to a tubular nozzle guide placed around the open end of a bag, and after fluid has been charged through the nozzle into the bag, compressed air is fed into the bag through the gap between the nozzle guide and the nozzle to blow a deposit on a front end of the nozzle away, thereby preventing contamination of an open end portion of the bag by the deposit.
  • the granular material when a granular material is charged into a container, such as a bag, by a granular material discharger, the granular material may be electrically charged by friction caused by the granular material passing through a granular material discharge path.
  • the electrically charged granular material tends to be deposited on an outer circumferential surface of a discharge portion of the granular material discharger inserted into the container.
  • the granular material tends to fall off the discharge portion during the removal of the discharge portion from the container for a granular material, and be deposited on an open end portion of the container.
  • the granular material deposited on the discharge portion falls outside the container to contaminate an area surrounding the container. Moreover, when the discharge portion is removed from the container with the granular material deposited on the discharge portion, this results in variations in the amount of the granular material fed.
  • blockage of the open end of the container causes the granular material to be caught in the open end. For example, when the entrance of the container is blocked by heat sealing, the granular material is welded to the open end of the container. This reduces the hermeticity of the container.
  • air is discharged through a region surrounding a discharge portion of a granular material discharger into a container when a granular material is being discharged into the container by the granular material discharger.

  • a feature of the air blow is that unlike the conventional art, while air is not blown into, e.g., a bag after completion of the feeding of the granular material into the bag, air is blown thereinto during discharge of the granular material. This can more effectively prevent the granular material from being deposited on the outer circumferential surface of the granular material discharger portion and the open end portion of the container.
  • air may start being blown after the start of the discharge of the granular material.
  • air preferably starts being blown simultaneously with the start of the discharge of the granular material or before the start of the discharge of the granular material.

  • the number of the at least one discharge pipe inserted into the container may be one or more. For example, when a plurality of discharge pipes are inserted into a container having a large capacity to feed the granular material thereinto, this helps reduce the time during which the granular material is fed.

  • an air nozzle having an air-blowing opening can be used as the air blower portion.
  • the at least one discharge pipe is passed through the air-blowing opening of the air nozzle, and in this situation, the air to be blown through the air nozzle is supplied into the container.

  • a plurality of air nozzles can be provided to correspond to a plurality of discharge pipes, and the discharge pipes can be each passed through a corresponding one of the air-blowing openings of the air nozzles to feed the air through a region surrounding the discharge pipe into the container.
  • the material of the air nozzle is not specifically limited, and may be made of iron, plastic, rubber, wood, or a composite.
  • the air nozzle may be a painted air nozzle or any other coated air nozzle.
  • the granular material feeder preferably further includes: a driver configured to drive any one or both of the discharge pipe and the container such that while the granular material is discharged through the one or more granular material discharge openings of the discharge pipe, the one or more granular material discharge openings move from an inside bottom of the container to an entrance of the container. Since the one or more granular material discharge openings of the discharge pipe move from the inside bottom of the container to the entrance of the container, the granular material can be entirely charged also into the container including a partition or a narrow portion, or the container having portions with different interior sizes. This helps prevent the granular material from being unevenly distributed in the container.
  • the granular material discharger preferably blows the air from the air nozzle through the region surrounding the at least one discharge pipe into the container during movement of the one or more granular material discharge openings of the at least one discharge pipe. This can prevent the granular material from being deposited on the outer circumferential surface of the discharge pipe or the open end portion of the container.
  • a fitting portion of the air nozzle fitted into the entrance of the container is preferably tapered. This facilitates bringing the fitting portion of the air nozzle into close contact with the open end portion of the container. This close contact helps prevent the granular material from leaking out of the entrance, and can prevent the granular material from being deposited on the open end portion.
  • the granular material feeder preferably further includes: a discharge amount controller configured to change an amount of the granular material discharged by the granular material discharger.
  • a discharge amount controller configured to change an amount of the granular material discharged by the granular material discharger.
  • the amount of the granular material discharged can be changed depending on the locations at which the one or more granular material discharge openings of the discharge pipe have arrived. For example, when the interior size of the container varies from a deepest portion of the container to the entrance thereof, the amount of the granular material discharged into a portion of the container having a larger interior size is increased, thereby finishing feeding the granular material into the container in a short time.
  • Either ionized air or normal air that is not ionized can be used as the air.
  • one of ionized air and normal air is preferably selected to blow the selected air through the air blower portion.
  • an ionizer may be connected to the air nozzle.
  • Static charge may be removed from the granular material by the ionized air after the granular material has finished being fed into the container, i.e., after the one or more granular material discharge openings of the discharge pipe have moved from the inside bottom of the container to the granular material entrance of the container and before the container is detached from the air nozzle.
  • This can reliably prevent the granular material from remaining deposited on the open end portion of the container.
  • the ionized air may start being blown into the container before the granular material finishes being fed into the container.
  • the granular material feeder preferably further includes an agitator configured to stir the granular material in the storage receptacle, and the granular material stirred in the storage receptacle with the agitator is discharged into the container using the air. Since the agitator configured to stir the granular material is placed in the storage receptacle, this prevents the granular material from solidifying (clinging together) in the storage receptacle, and prevents also bridging of the granular material in the storage receptacle. Furthermore, since the granular material is discharged into the container using the air, the granular material is smoothly fed into the container.
  • the air is blown through a region surrounding the granular material discharger portion into the container during the discharge of the granular material.

  • the controller 10 stops operation of the driver 9 , switches the solenoid valve 18 , and actuates the ionizer 30 . Stopping the operation of the driver 9 allows the backward movement of the discharge pipe 12 to stop. Changing the position of the solenoid valve 18 allows the supply of compressed air into the first and second lines 19 and 27 to stop, and allows compressed air to be supplied into the third line 28 .
  • the ejector gun 13 stops discharging the granular material 1 , ionized air is blown through the air nozzle 6 into the flat bag 2 along the outer circumferential surface of the discharge pipe 12 instead of compressed air.
  • the controller 10 stops operation of the ionizer 30 after a predetermined time from the start of the blowing of the ionized air, and switches the solenoid valve 18 to block the supply of compressed air from the air source 17 .
  • the flat bag 2 is detached from the nozzle adapter 42 , and the entrance of the flat bag 2 is sealed by, e.g., heat sealing.
  • the entrance of the flat bag 2 is sealed without any problem. In other words, the entrance of the flat bag 2 can be easily blocked to prevent the granular material 1 from leaking out of the flat bag 2 .
  • the hopper 3 and the granular material discharger 4 are supported by the same slider 8 , their relative positions are not changed during the feeding of the granular material 1 into the flat bag 2 .
  • the shape of a passage through which the granular material 1 travels from the lower end of the hopper 3 to the front end discharge opening of the discharge pipe 12 does not change from the start of the feeding of the granular material 1 to the end thereof. Therefore, the passage resistance to the flow of the granular material 1 does not also change, and thus, the amount of the granular material 1 fed into the flat bag 2 per unit time does not vary.
  • the time during which the granular material 1 is fed is controlled to allow the total amount of the granular material 1 fed into the flat bag 2 to be a desired amount, and the speed at which the discharge pipe 12 moves backward is changed so as to be able to adjust the amount of the granular material 1 charged into each of portions of the flat bag 2 .
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate a method for feeding granular material in a situation where the flat bag 2 includes a large partition 2 c extending inward from a lateral side of the bag.
  • the partition 2 c serves as a barrier, the discharge pipe 12 of the granular material discharger 4 cannot be passed straight from the entrance of the bag to the inside bottom thereof.
  • the flat bag 2 is slightly inclined laterally outward from its open end portion fitted to the nozzle adapter 42 , thereby allowing the front end discharge opening of the discharge pipe 12 to reach the inside bottom of the flat bag 2 .
  • the granular material 1 starts being discharged, and while the discharge pipe 12 is moved backward, the granular material 1 is fed to the inside bottom of the flat bag 2 .
  • the discharge of the granular material 1 is temporarily stopped by the manual switch 53 , and furthermore, the small movement of the driver 9 moves the discharge pipe 12 backward such that the discharge opening is located in front of the partition 2 c.
  • the controller 10 can detect that the granular material 1 has finished being charged into the portion of the flat bag 2 behind the partition 2 c, based on the time elapsed since the start of the discharge.
  • the flat bag 2 is slightly inclined in the direction opposite to the direction in which the flat bag 2 is inclined in FIG. 7A , thereby directing the front end discharge opening of the discharge pipe 12 to the vicinity of the root of the partition 2 c.
  • discharge of the granular material 1 is restarted, and while the discharge pipe 12 is moved backward, the granular material 1 is fed into a portion of the flat bag 2 in front of the partition 2 c.
  • the front end discharge opening of the discharge pipe 12 is directed to the vicinity of the root of the partition 2 c, this prevents the granular material 1 discharged through the discharge pipe 12 from being squeezed into the portion of the flat bag 2 behind the partition 2 c. In other words, an excessively large amount of the granular material 1 is prevented from being charged into the portion of the flat bag 2 behind the partition 2 c.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an example of a flat bag 2 having portions with different interior sizes.
  • a back portion 2 e of the flat bag 2 toward the inside bottom thereof has a larger interior size than a front portion 2 d of the flat bag 2 toward the entrance thereof.
  • the amount of the granular material 1 discharged is set at a large value, and when the discharge pipe 12 is moved backward, and the discharge opening of the discharge pipe 12 has reached the front portion 2 d having a smaller capacity, the amount of the granular material 1 discharged is set at a small value. This can reduce the time required to feed the granular material 1 into the flat bag 2 .
  • the amount of the granular material 1 discharged can be changed, for example, by allowing the first line 19 to include a pressure control valve 50 and changing the pressure at which compressed air is supplied to the ejector gun 13 .
  • the change in the pressure at which compressed air is supplied to the ejector gun 13 changes the amount of the granular material 1 discharged by the granular material discharger 4 .
  • the speed of the backward movement of the discharge pipe 12 and/or the amount of the granular material 1 discharged can be also changed.
  • the discharge opening has reached the location at which the internal shape of the flat bag 2 is varied, the discharge of the granular material 1 and the backward movement of the discharge pipe 12 may be temporarily stopped, the speed of the backward movement of the discharge pipe 12 and/or the amount of the granular material 1 discharged may be changed, and then, the backward movement of the discharge pipe 12 may be restarted.
  • an actuator using another drive system such as a chain-drive actuator or a belt drive actuator, can be used as the driver 9 .
  • the discharge pipe 12 is moved by the driver 9 ; however, the flat bag 2 may be driven to move, and thus, while the granular material 1 is discharged through the granular material discharge opening of the discharge pipe 12 , the granular material discharge opening may relatively move from the inside bottom of the flat bag 2 to the entrance thereof.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates an example of a sound absorbing material (sound insulation material) 60 obtained by the granular material feeder.
  • the sound absorbing material 60 is obtained by charging the elastomeric foam chips 1 into the flat bag 2 , and the elastomeric foam chips 1 are not bonded together, and can move. The elastomeric foam chips 1 are not bonded also to the flat bag 2 .
  • the elastomeric foam chips 1 can be obtained by pulverizing scraps of a sound insulating sheet made of, e.g., an EPDM rubber foam (sponge material) into chips.
  • the average particle size of the elastomeric foam chips 1 is about 0.5-5 mm, and the range of the particle sizes of the elastomeric foam chips 1 is preferably, e.g., about 0.1-10 mm.
  • the foaming density (absolute specific gravity) of each of the elastomeric foam chips 1 is approximately greater than or equal to 0.01 g/cm 3 and equal to or less than 0.99 g/cm 3 , and is preferably approximately greater than or equal to 0.03 g/cm 3 and equal to or less than 0.5 g/cm 3 .
  • a mixture including the elastomeric foam chips 1 as the main ingredient can be fed into the flat bag 2 .
  • the mixture includes, in addition to the elastomeric foam chips 1 , other sound absorbing materials, such as fiber material, non-elastomeric foam chips, resin chips, and powder of inorganic material (e.g., silica or mica), and a filler.
  • the granular material is not limited to the elastomeric foam chips 1 , and chips of styrofoam, unfoamed rubber chips, resin chips (e.g., thin pieces (such as flakes or pieces deformed to have an uneven surface)), or woody biomass chips, for example, can be used as the granular material.
  • the other types of powder or particulate matter can be used as the granular material.
  • the granular material relates to granular material (including elastomeric foam chips) charged into the flat bag 2 , preferably has a bulk density that is approximately greater than or equal to 0.01 g/cm 3 and equal to or less than 0.99 g/cm 3 , and more preferably has a bulk density that is approximately greater than or equal to 0.03 g/cm 3 and equal to or less than 0.5 g/cm 3 .
  • the flat bag 2 can be obtained by overlapping, e.g., two breathable sheet materials made of, e.g., nonwoven fabric, or folding one breathable sheet material, and joining overlapping outer portions of the breathable sheet material or materials.
  • the overlapping outer portions merely needs to be joined together to the extent that the contents of the flat bag 2 , such as elastomeric foam chips, do not leak out of the flat bag 2 , and in order to join them together, any appropriate process, such as adhesive joining or stitching, can be used instead of heat sealing.
  • One of the surfaces of the flat bag 2 may be made of a breathable sheet of, e.g., nonwoven fabric, and the other surface thereof opposite to the surface may be made of a non-breathable sheet, such as a polyethylene sheet.
  • a non-breathable sheet can reduce noise, and the sound insulation performance of the sound absorbing material can be enhanced.
  • the interior of a flat bag made of a breathable sheet of, e.g., nonwoven fabric may be partitioned into a plurality of housing parts in the thickness direction of the flat bag by barriers, and an identical granular material or different granular materials may be charged into the housing parts.
  • the barriers can be each made of a breathable sheet or a non-breathable sheet. Even with the barriers made of a non-breathable sheet, as long as the breathability of at least one surface of each of the housing parts is ensured, granular material is smoothly charged into the housing parts by the feeder according to the present disclosure without any problem.
  • the area density of the entire sound absorbing material may be, e.g., approximately greater than or equal to 1 kg/m 2 and equal to or less than 4 kg/m 2 .
