A suction hose is connected to the discharge port 31, and this suction hose is connected to the suction device 6.
Said structure distributes the powder P to the powder hopper 4, and comprises the powder distribution apparatus 1A. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the powder P supplied to the powder hopper 4 is configured to be packaged by the packaging device 5.

次に、この実施形態の分包機１の作用について説明する。
まず、ターンテーブル２を一定の高速度で回転させながら、散薬供給装置３からターンテーブル２上の受け部２ａ上に散薬Ｐを供給し、受け部２ａ上に散薬Ｐを周方向に均一分布させておく。このとき、回転体４０は、受け部２ａに対して離間（上方向に回動）させておき、ターンテーブル２と当接しないようにしておく。受け部２ａに散薬Ｐが周方向均一に分布されたら、図１（ｂ）に示すように、回転体４０を下方向に回動させて、回転板４２、４３を受け部２ａと当接させ、ターンテーブル２を間欠回転させるとともに回転体４０を間欠回転させることにより、散薬Ｐの掻き出しを行う。 Next, the operation of the packaging machine 1 of this embodiment will be described.
First, while rotating the turntable 2 at a constant high speed, the powder P is supplied from the powder supply device 3 onto the receiving part 2a on the turntable 2, and the powder P is uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction on the receiving part 2a. Keep it. At this time, the rotating body 40 is separated (rotated upward) from the receiving portion 2a so as not to contact the turntable 2. When the powder P is uniformly distributed in the receiving part 2a in the circumferential direction, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the rotating body 40 is rotated downward to bring the rotating plates 42 and 43 into contact with the receiving part 2a. The powder table P is scraped out by intermittently rotating the turntable 2 and intermittently rotating the rotating body 40.

回転体４０は、回転体駆動モーター７０によって駆動される。回転体駆動モーター７０による駆動力は、ギヤ列７１を介してアーム支持軸２２に伝えられ、アーム２０の内部のアーム支持軸２２および回転体の中心軸４４に装着されたプーリーと、伝動ベルトによって、回転体４０に伝達される。
アーム２０の受け部２ａに対する上下方向の回動は、回転体上下動モーター６１の駆動力が減速機６４を介してカム６２に伝達され、アーム２０に設けられたカムフォロア６３に作用することによって実現される。 The rotating body 40 is driven by a rotating body drive motor 70. The driving force by the rotating body drive motor 70 is transmitted to the arm support shaft 22 through the gear train 71, and is provided by a pulley mounted on the arm support shaft 22 inside the arm 20 and the center shaft 44 of the rotating body, and a transmission belt. Is transmitted to the rotating body 40.
The vertical rotation of the arm 20 relative to the receiving portion 2a is realized by the driving force of the rotary body vertical movement motor 61 being transmitted to the cam 62 via the speed reducer 64 and acting on the cam follower 63 provided on the arm 20. Is done.

掻き出された散薬Ｐは、散薬ホッパー４に掻き落とされ、包装装置５内に投入され、散薬Ｐは個々に分包される。
上記の動作において、散薬Ｐが掻き出される際、第２のカバー３０と、第１のカバー５０の上端開口部とが閉じ合わされる。同時に第３のカバー３２は、回転体４０と第１のカバー５０との間に間隙に挿入される。
掻き出される際、散薬ホッパー４に掻き落とされず、飛散した散薬Ｐのうち、第１のカバーに衝突した散薬は、散薬ホッパー４に落下する。
また、回転体４０が回転することによる遠心力によって、第１のカバー５０の更に上方に飛散した散薬Ｐは、第２のカバー３０の吸引用空間部３３内に流入する。この飛散した散薬Ｐのうち、一部は落下して散薬ホッパー４内に納められるが、一部は浮遊状態におかれる。この浮遊状態におかれた散薬Ｐは、吸引装置６によって、負圧吸引される。 The powder P thus scraped off is scraped off by the powder hopper 4 and put into the packaging device 5, and the powder P is individually packaged.
In the above operation, when the powder P is scraped, the second cover 30 and the upper end opening of the first cover 50 are closed. At the same time, the third cover 32 is inserted into the gap between the rotating body 40 and the first cover 50.
When being scraped out, the powder that collides with the first cover among the powder P that has not been scraped off by the powder hopper 4 falls to the powder hopper 4.
In addition, the powder P scattered further upward from the first cover 50 due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotating body 40 flows into the suction space 33 of the second cover 30. A part of the scattered powder P falls and is stored in the powder hopper 4, but a part is put in a floating state. The powder P placed in this floating state is sucked by negative pressure by the suction device 6.

本実施形態に係る散薬分配装置１Ａにおいては、回転体４０の両側および周縁部外方を覆うコの字状の第１のカバーと、この第１のカバーの上を覆うような直方体形状の第２のカバーとによって、飛散する散薬Ｐを効率的にブロックすることができる。これにより、散薬Ｐが、分包機１の内部部材に付着し、それによる騒音や振動を抑制することができる。
第２のカバー３０は、アーム２０に直接取付けられているため、より回転体４０の動きを追従することができ、回転体４０と接触のおそれがない。
第２のカバー３０に排出口３１を設け、この排出口３１に吸引装置６を接続することによって、第２のカバー３０内に堆積した散薬を効率的に取り除くことができる。
第３のカバー５０はシリコンゴムによって形成されているため、回転体４０および第１のカバーを傷付けることなく、回転体４０と第１のカバーとの間の間隙を塞ぐことができる。 In the powder distribution device 1A according to the present embodiment, a U-shaped first cover that covers both sides of the rotating body 40 and the outside of the peripheral edge, and a rectangular parallelepiped first cover that covers the first cover. The scattered powder P can be efficiently blocked by the two covers. Thereby, powder P adheres to the internal member of the packaging machine 1, and can suppress the noise and vibration by it.
Since the second cover 30 is directly attached to the arm 20, the second cover 30 can follow the movement of the rotating body 40 and there is no fear of contact with the rotating body 40.
By providing the discharge port 31 in the second cover 30 and connecting the suction device 6 to the discharge port 31, the powder deposited in the second cover 30 can be efficiently removed.
Since the third cover 50 is formed of silicon rubber, the gap between the rotating body 40 and the first cover can be closed without damaging the rotating body 40 and the first cover.

なお、本発明は、散薬を分包するための分包機に関するものであるが、顆粒状のものも含むものとする。また、アーム２の上下動はカムによるものとしたが、アクチュエータによる駆動などであってもよい。
また、第３のカバー３２および掻出装置４１の先端部に使用したシリコンゴムは、飛散防止効果や接触する部材に対する緩衝性による観点から採用したもので、同様の効果が期待できる材料であれば、これに限るものではない。 In addition, although this invention is related with the packaging machine for packaging a powder, it shall also include a granular thing. Further, the vertical movement of the arm 2 is performed by a cam, but it may be driven by an actuator.
Moreover, the silicon rubber used for the tip of the third cover 32 and the scraping device 41 is adopted from the viewpoint of the scattering prevention effect and the buffering property against the contacting member, and any material that can be expected to have the same effect. However, it is not limited to this.
