GRAIN FEEDING DEVICE FOR FOOD

摘要

PURPOSE: An automatic granule feeder for food is provided to make jelly products by automatically feeding fruit flesh granules to a jelly container with a uniform amount. CONSTITUTION: A granule feeding part supplies granules for food loaded on a hopper(11) to a granule receiving groove(21) of a first sliding panel(20). The first sliding panel positions the granule receiving groove containing granules to the upper part of a container in which the granules are dropped. A second granule blocking plate(30) blocks the bottom of the granule receiving groove, and is formed with granule penetrating grooves at the same gap to the granule receiving groove. A second operating unit(40) slides the second granule blocking plate and corresponds the granule receiving groove to the granule penetrating groove. An input part put the granules into a container by pressurizing or blowing compressed air. The bottom of the hopper is divided into a front chamber(11a) and a rear chamber(11b) by a separation unit(11c). A first front cylinder(13a) and a first rear cylinder(13b) are fixed in an up and down direction on the upper part of the hopper. A first front load and a first rear load(14b) move up and down by the first front cylinder and the first rear cylinder. First and second feeding loads (15a, 15b) push the granule to the front and rear exhaust groove arrays. A transfer block(41) reciprocates in the cross direction while supporting the bottom of the second granule blocking plate. A first guide(42) is arranged side by side in perpendicular to the progressive direction of the container. A second cylinder(43) reciprocates the transfer block periodically along the first guide.
