Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve packing accuracy by adjusting the oscillation frequency for transporting metallic powder according to the capacity of a capsule. CONSTITUTION:A vacuum degassing device is constituted of a heater 2, a vacuum degassing chamber 1, an eccentric motor 4, etc. Untreated metallic powder 15 fed through a feed port 6 is repeatedly moved on a spiral spout 7 from below to above by the oscillation generated from an oscillating mechanism, by which a degassing treatment is executed. The optimum oscillation frequency exists according to the capacity of the packing capsule for the transfer rate per unit time of the metallic powder 15. The degassing treatment is therefore executed by selecting and adjusting the optimum oscillation frequency according to the capacity of the packing a capsule and thereafter a change-over gate 9 is changed over to a discharge port 10 side and the metallic powder is packed into the capsule. Since the powder is degassed during the transfer under the oscillation of the optimum oscillation frequency, the packing accuracy is improved.

To remove the Ar gas, a batch type vacuum degassing device is used as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-42414. Inside the vacuum degassing chamber of the vacuum degassing device,
A spiral gutter is provided, and a certain amount of metal powder introduced into the degassing chamber is constantly moved through the planting soil by imaging, during which time Ar gas is sufficiently removed. When the Ar gas is removed, the metal powder is discharged out of the vacuum degassing chamber by the vibration, and is charged into a metal powder processing capsule provided in communication with the degassing chamber. The capsule is

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, when the frequency of the vibration for metal powder transfer is constant, the amount of powder transferred per unit time is large for the filling amount, and decreases as time passes, so When filling several capacity capsules, it is very difficult to fill each capsule with a constant amount of powder (the optimal filling amount for the capsule). If there is too much powder, the capsule cannot be sealed and the powder must be taken out into the atmosphere, where it will oxidize and become unusable.

A certain amount of powder is put into a vacuum degassing chamber, and the metal powder is degassed while the soil formed in the vacuum degassing chamber is transferred by vibration, and then the metal powder is transferred outside the vacuum degassing chamber. In the method of discharging the metal powder by vibration and charging it into a metal powder processing capsule connected to the degassing chamber, the frequency of the vibration for transporting the metal powder is increased or decreased depending on the capacity of the capsule. The point is to fill the capsule.
