Abstract
Description
1. Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an automated dispensing system for the metered dispensing of malleable, thermoplastic modeling material, in particular industrial plasticine ("clay"). The modeling material is heated to a suitable temperature for processing before or during dispensing. The automated system is preferably designed as a handheld device, but can also be stationary or semi-stationary. 2. State of the art
[0002] It is known from the prior art to manually remove industrial plasticine from storage containers, heat it separately, and then apply it manually. This procedure has several disadvantages, in particular: • inaccurate dosing and increased material losses, • High time and effort required for heating and portioning, • ergonomically unfavorable handling, • uneven material temperature during processing, • Interruptions to the work process due to frequent refilling. 3. Object of the invention
[0003] The object of the invention is to provide an automated system that enables a defined, reproducible dosing of heated modeling material, is ergonomically operable and supports a continuous, efficient work process. 4. Solution to the task
[0004] The task is solved by an industrial plasticine machine with a material container for modeling material, a conveying mechanism for controlled conveyance of the material to an exit nozzle, and at least one heating device for heating the material.
[0005] The conveying mechanism is designed to allow the modeling material to be conveyed continuously or in portions. The heating element can be located in the area of the material container, the conveying mechanism, and / or the outlet nozzle. 5. Advantages of the invention
[0006] The automatic machine according to the invention has in particular the following advantages: • precise and reproducible dosing of the modeling material, • uniform and controlled material temperature, • reduced material losses, • Ergonomic handling during handheld use, • continuous work process without frequent interruptions, • Adaptability to different modeling requirements. 6. Drawings
[0007] The invention is preferably explained in more detail with reference to drawings, which may include, by way of example, the following representations: • 1 Schematic representation of the conveying mechanism, • 2 Controls • 3 refill containers • 4 Heating, • 5 Heated refill container • 6 Heated tank system. • 7 Stand • 8 Heated outlet nozzles 7. Summary
[0008] The invention relates to an automated system for the metered dispensing of heated, malleable modeling material, in particular industrial plasticine. The combination of a conveying mechanism, a heating device, and an ergonomically designed dispensing nozzle enables precise, continuous, and temperature-stable processing of the modeling material.
