METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTRODUCING ELONGATE OBJECTS FORMING LONGITUDINAL AXIS INTO CONTINUOUS STREAM OF MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A24D3/02 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of introducing elongated objects forming a longitudinal axis into a continuous flow of material, the method comprising steps of: providing a reservoir for holding elongated objects to be introduced into a continuous stream of material; introducing elongated objects from the reservoir into the transmitting chamber, which is made so that objects are aligned therein so that their longitudinal axes are parallel to each other; moving elongated objects along a direction parallel to their longitudinal axis, along a single-path path from the transmitting chamber to the delivery channel by the rotating wheel, wherein rotary wheel is located adjacent to transmitting chamber and adapted to move elongated objects located in transmitting chamber by contacting elongated objects with peripheral surface of rotary wheel; introducing elongated objects from a delivery channel to a location where elongated objects are to be introduced into a continuous flow of material; and adjusting the rate of introducing an elongated object from the delivery channel to a location, in which elongated objects are to be introduced into a continuous stream of material, based on the rate of continuous flow of material in a location in which the elongated object is to be introduced.

EFFECT: invention discloses a method and apparatus for introducing elongate objects forming a longitudinal axis into a continuous stream of material.
