Description

  The present invention relates to a powder container discharging apparatus and a seeding system for a flexible container for discharging powder particles (powder or / and particles) from a flexible container.

  As a conventional powder container discharging apparatus for flexible containers, a flexible container breaker described in Patent Document 1 is exemplified. As shown in FIG. 18, this apparatus has a support leg 103 that is vertically formed on a base 101 with a space 102 formed in the center and correspondingly erected; An inclined portion 104 formed with the outer side facing obliquely upward; a placement portion 105 of a flexible container formed by the corresponding inclined portion 104.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the flexible container 50 is generally provided with a plurality of suspension ropes 52 with respect to a flexible container main body 51 formed in a bag shape by rubberized cloth, resin processed cloth, canvas, or the like. . A cylindrical injection port 53 made of the same material as that of the main body 51 is provided on the upper surface of the main body 51. The injection port 53 has a string-like upper opening / closing tool 54 for closing it. In addition, a discharge port 55 formed in a cylindrical shape is provided on the lower surface of the main body 51 in the same manner as the injection port 53. The discharge port 55 has a string-like lower opening / closing tool 56 for closing it.

  The usage method of this flexible container breaker is as follows. That is, the flexible container 50 in which the contents are solidified is placed on the placement unit 105 by the hoist 121 or the like. Then, in the portion where the flexible container 50 is in contact with the inclined portion 104 of the placement portion 105, the contents are crushed by its own weight, and the solidified powder or the like is crushed. The flexible container 50 automatically sinks downward in the space 102 due to its own weight. In this case, the crushing is transmitted radially inward and circumferentially together with the settlement, and is crushed, and the crushed contents flow in the flexible container 50. When the contents in the flexible container 50 are crushed and fluidized in this way, the flexible container 50 is lifted by a hoist 121 or the like, taken to a place (not shown) where the contents are taken out, and opened and closed at that place. The tool 56 is opened, and the contents are discharged from the discharge port 55 to be discharged.
