MATERIAL BATCHING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: measuring equipment. SUBSTANCE: device comprises chamber 1 with loading branch pipe 12 and two unloading branch pipes 3 disposed equidistantly therefrom, and air cylinder 4 with piston having elongated rod 5. The free end of said rod enters chamber 1 through a hole in rigidly-interconnected end walls of chamber 1 and air cylinder 4. Portion of rod 5 disposed in chamber 1 is provided with partitions 7 which form two batching containers 8 and 9. Piston 6 is operated by control unit 11 via contact of stop 10 secured on end of rod 5 and having the form of spindle with end-piece and position transmitter of stop 12 and 13. Motion of piston 6 is adjusted by time relay installed in control unit 11. As piston 6 moves right or left, rod 5 with partitions shifts the batched material. When piston 6 stops for a certain time, the handled material falls into one of batching containers while the material batched earlier is simultaneously unloaded from the other batching container through one of the unloading branch pipes 3. On the reverse stroke of the piston the action is alternated and the operating cycle is repeated over again. EFFECT: improved design. 3 cl, 2 dwg
