Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a powder / granular material processing device that agitates the inside of a storage container with a plurality of rotating blades. [Background technology]

[0002] In industrial fields such as food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, a wide variety of powders with different components are mixed together and used (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2004-255348 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The powder mixer described above is a mixer that increases mixing efficiency by changing the direction of the flow of the powder to be mixed, but it is believed that there is room for further improvement.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a powder processing device that can improve mixing efficiency. [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 comprising at least a storage container for storing powder and granular material, vertical rotating blades arranged vertically inside the storage container, and inclined rotating blades arranged at an angle inside the storage container, and when powder and granular material are stored inside the storage container, the powder and granular material are agitated by the rotational action of the vertical rotating blades and the inclined rotating blades which are immersed in the powder and granular material.

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention also provides a powder / granular material processing device in which the vertical rotary blades are disposed vertically and offset from the axis of the storage container in a plan view.

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention also provides a powder / granular material processing device in which the inclined rotary blades are disposed at an angle from the bottom of the storage container toward the side. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The powder and granular material processing device of the present invention comprises at least a storage container for storing powder and granular material, vertical rotating blades arranged vertically inside the storage container, and inclined rotating blades arranged at an angle inside the storage container.When powder and granular material are stored inside the storage container, the powder and granular material are agitated by the rotation of the vertical rotating blades and inclined rotating blades which are immersed in the powder and granular material.It is therefore believed that mixing efficiency can be improved by agitating the powder and granular material stored in the storage container in different circulation directions.

[0010] Furthermore, in the powder / granular material processing device of the present invention, the vertical rotating blade is disposed vertically and offset from the axial center of the storage container in a plan view, so that the distance between the vertical rotating blade and the storage container is non-uniform. Under this structure, the vertical rotating blade rotates and agitates the powder / granular material, so a different agitation effect can be expected than when the vertical rotating blade is disposed at the axial center of the storage container in a uniform structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the powder and granular material processing apparatus of the present invention further arranges the inclined rotating blades at an angle from the bottom of the storage container toward the side, thereby stirring the powder and granular material stored in the storage container from the bottom of the storage container toward the side against gravity, which is believed to further improve mixing efficiency.

[0013] It is implemented as a food-related powder and granular processing device that introduces multiple types of flour into a storage container and processes (mixes) them. [Example]

[0014] First, the configuration of the powder / granular material processing apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0015] The powder / granular material processing device (1) includes at least a storage container (10) capable of storing a certain amount of powder / granular material, and a vertical rotary blade (21) and an inclined rotary blade (22) installed inside the storage container (FIGS. 1 to 3).

[0016] The vertical rotary vane (21) is disposed vertically inside the storage container (10) at a position offset from the axis of the storage container (10) (above the axis shown in FIG. 4) (FIG. 4).

[0017] In this embodiment, the rotation direction of the vertical rotary blades (21) can be either forward or reverse.

[0018] The inclined rotary vanes (22) are disposed so as to be inclined upward from the bottom of the storage container (10) toward the middle of the side surface (FIG. 3).

[0019] The inclined rotary vanes (22) are provided so as to penetrate and protrude from the middle of the side surface of the storage container (10) (FIG. 3).

[0020] Next, the operation of the powder / granular material processing apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0021] The outer lid (31) of the supply port of the powder processing device is opened, and the inner door (32) is pressed with a packaging bag (the tip of which has been opened in advance) containing the first flour (41), and the flour in the packaging bag is supplied (Figures 5 and 6).

[0022] In order to prevent powder from scattering around the outer periphery of the supply port, the inner door weight (33) moves upward in conjunction with the pressure on the inner door (32) (arrow in Figure 5).

[0023] The first flour (41) supplied from the supply port is transported along the inclined rotary blade (22) by the rotation of the inclined rotary blade and introduced into the storage container (10) (FIG. 7).

[0024] Then, the inner door (32) is pressed with a packaging bag (the tip of which has been opened in advance) containing a second type of flour (42) different from the first type of flour, and the flour in the packaging bag is supplied (Figures 8 and 9).

[0025] The second flour (42) supplied from the supply port is transported along the inclined rotary blade (22) by the rotation of the inclined rotary blade and introduced into the storage container (10) (Figure 10).

[0026] Thereafter, by rotating the vertical rotating blades (21) forward, the portions of the first flour (41) and the second flour (42) stored in the storage container (10) are stirred under the above-mentioned non-uniform structure (arrows in FIG. 11).

[0027] Furthermore, the rotation of the inclined rotary blades (22) also stirs the first flour (41) and the second flour (42) stored in the storage container (10) in the submerged portion (arrows in Figure 11).

[0028] The wheat flour is agitated by the rotation of the vertical rotary blade (21) and the inclined rotary blade (22) that are immersed in the first wheat flour (41) and the second wheat flour (42). Therefore, the wheat flour stored in the storage container is agitated in different circulation directions, thereby improving the mixing efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, the explanation has been given for a food-related powder and granular material processing device that introduces first and second wheat flours into a storage container, but it is believed that the present invention will operate in a similar manner in powder and granular material processing devices that introduce other powder and granular materials into a storage container. [Industrial Applicability]

[0030] The present invention is an excellent powder and granular material processing device that can improve mixing performance, and has industrial applicability. [Explanation of symbols]
