AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional conveying devices experience issues with the shutter failing to close properly due to the conveyed objects getting caught or bitten in, leading to incomplete closure and material leakage, particularly when handling powders or granular materials.

Method used

The device incorporates a shutter mechanism with a guide that protrudes from the periphery of the opening, positioned to prevent the rotational force of the shutter from intersecting with the conveyed object's center, ensuring the object is guided away from the shutter's path, thereby preventing jamming.

Benefits of technology

This configuration ensures reliable conveyance by preventing the conveyed material from getting caught, maintaining smooth operation and reducing material loss by ensuring the shutter closes effectively without jamming.

Abstract

Conventionally, there has been a problem where transported objects get caught when the shutter is closed, resulting in incomplete shutter closure. [Solution] A conveying conveyor 10 is provided to transport materials supplied from a rear supply section 2 into a case 1 which is formed to be long in the direction of transport of the transported material, such as granules, powders, grains of rice and wheat, adzuki beans, or tea leaves. The case 1 is provided with a discharge section 6 having one or more openings 5, and each opening 5 is provided with a shutter 7 that opens and closes the opening so as to be rotatable on a horizontal axis by a pivot shaft 40, and the discharge section 6 is provided with a jam prevention device 31 that prevents the transported material from getting jammed when the shutter 7 closes the opening 5.
