Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a powder / granular material processing device having a supply mechanism that prevents powder / granular material such as wheat flour from scattering around the outside of a storage container when the powder / granular material is poured into the storage container. [Background technology]

[0002] When supplying powder such as wheat flour or buckwheat flour to a powder processing device such as a noodle making machine or a soba noodle making machine, the powder in the supply container may scatter to the surrounding area (for example, paragraph 0003 of Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3111651 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As mentioned above, if powder scatters around the area when the door of the powder supply mechanism is opened, it will reduce work efficiency and result in food waste, so it is considered preferable to prevent this as much as possible.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a powder / granular material processing device equipped with a supply mechanism that prevents powder / granular material from scattering around when the powder / granular material is introduced into a storage container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a powder and granular material processing device that is equipped with at least a supply mechanism for introducing powder and granular material into a storage container, wherein the supply mechanism is composed of an inner door body that performs a predetermined opening and closing operation and a weight that is linked to the opening and closing operation of the inner door body, and the opening operation of the inner door body is performed against the weight.

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention further provides a powdered or granular material processing apparatus characterized in that the inner door body is closed by the weight of the weight body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The powder and granular material processing device of the present invention has a supply mechanism that is composed of an inner door body that performs a predetermined opening and closing operation and a weight that is linked to the opening and closing operation of the inner door body, and since the opening operation of the inner door body is performed against the weight, it is possible to prevent the powder and granular material from scattering around when it is introduced into the storage container.

[0009] Furthermore, in the powder and granular material processing apparatus of the present invention, the inner door body is closed by the weight of the weight, which further prevents the powder and granular material from scattering around when the powder and granular material is introduced into the storage container.

[Figure 3] FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the structure and operation of the powder / granular material supply mechanism.

[Figure 6] Figure 6 is an image of the powder supply mechanism in operation (with the outer lid and inner door open). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] It is implemented as a food-related powder processing device that introduces wheat flour into a storage container and processes it. [Example]

[0012] First, the configuration of the powder / granular material processing device will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0013] The powder and granular material processing device (1) is arranged within the device and comprises a storage container (20) for storing a certain amount of powder and granular material for processing such as mixing and kneading, and a supply mechanism (10) for introducing the powder and granular material into the storage container (Figs. 1 and 2).

[0014] The supply mechanism (10) includes a plate-shaped inner door body (11) that performs a predetermined opening and closing operation, a weight body (12) that applies weight in the direction of closing the inner door body, and an outer lid (13) that is attached to the outside of the inner door body (Figure 3).

[0015] Regarding the opening and closing operation of the inner door body (11), the transition from a blocked state between the outside of the supply mechanism (the powder and granular material processing device) and the storage container to a connected state is called an "open" operation, and the opposite transition from a connected state to a blocked state is called a "close" operation.

[0016] Next, the operation of introducing wheat flour into the powder / granular material processing apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0017] Before the flour is introduced into the device, the inner door (11) is closed by the weight of the weight (12), and the outer lid (13) is also closed, so that the outside of the supply mechanism (the powder and granular material processing device) is isolated from the storage container (Figure 3).

[0018] First, the outer cover (13) is opened (FIG. 4).

[0019] Next, the inner door body (11) is pressed with a packaging bag containing wheat flour to perform an opening operation (Fig. 5).

[0020] In conjunction with the opening operation of the inner door body (11), the weight body (12) moves upward (arrow in FIG. 5).

[0021] While maintaining the above-mentioned state, the flour in the packaging bag is introduced into the storage container (20) (Fig. 6).

[0022] When the inner door body (11) is pressed, the flour can be discharged from the packaging bag (for example, by cutting off the tip of the packaging bag).

[0023] After all the flour in the packaging bag has been transferred into the storage container (20), the pressure on the inner door body (11) is stopped by moving the packaging bag in a direction away from the inner door body (11), and the inner door body returns to its original position due to the weight of the weight body (12), completing the closing operation of the inner door body (again to the state shown in Figure 4).

[0024] Thereafter, the outer lid (13) is also closed, and the container returns to the original state before the introduction of flour (again to the state shown in FIG. 3).

[0025] In this embodiment, the explanation has been given for a food-related powder / granular material processing apparatus in which wheat flour is introduced into a storage container, but it is considered that the same applies to powder / granular material processing apparatus in which other powder / granular materials are introduced into a storage container. [Industrial Applicability]

[0026] The present invention is an excellent powder / granular material processing device that suppresses scattering of powder / granular material, and has industrial applicability. [Explanation of symbols]
