Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、粉末を圧縮して錠剤、食品さらには電子部品などを成形するための回転式粉末圧縮成形機に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の粉末圧縮成形機では、圧縮する粉末を充填する複数の臼を所定ピッチで円周方向に配設し、各臼の上下に上下摺動可能に保持した上杵及び下杵を上ロールと下ロール間を通過させることにより、上杵及び下杵のそれぞれの杵先が同時に相互に接近するように作動させて、臼内に充填した粉末を圧縮成形するものである。通常、例えば錠剤を製造する場合、同一の回転式粉末圧縮成形機で同一品種の錠剤を製造するものである(例えば特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−353597号公報
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、近年、市場の縮小などにより、製造する錠剤の種類によっては生産量を減少させる間引き運転を行うことがある。このような間引き運転では、通常運転の場合とは異なり、圧縮作動する上杵、下杵及び臼の数を減少させるものである。具体的には、例えば生産量を1/3にする場合、不要となる上杵及び下杵を取り外してその本数を1/3にするとともに、取り外した上杵及び下杵に対応する臼を取り外し、その臼が取り付けられていた場所には回転盤の上面と上面が面一になる無孔臼を取り付けるものである。無孔臼は、通常の臼を取り付けたままにしておくと、粉末がその臼を介して機内に散乱することを防止するためである。
【0005】
しかしながら、このようにして生産量を減らす場合、不要となる上杵、下杵及び臼の取り外し作業、並びに無孔臼の取付作業が生じるものである。このために、生産を開始するまでに長時間が必要となるとともに、臼を取り外す場合、臼周りの部分に残留する粉末を清掃する必要がある。しかも、取り外す上杵及び下杵と、取り付ける無孔臼との位置を誤ると、臼孔のない無孔臼をそれぞれの杵が故障の原因となることがある。
【0006】
本発明は、このような不具合を解消することを目的としている。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち、本発明の回転式粉末圧縮成形機は、フレーム内に、回転盤を立シャフトを介して水平回転可能に配設し、その回転盤に複数の臼を所定のピッチで設けるとともに、各臼の上下に上杵及び下杵を上下摺動可能に保持させておき、杵先を臼内に挿入した上杵と下杵とを上ロールと下ロール間を通過させることにより臼内に充填した粉末を圧縮成形するようにした回転式粉末圧縮成形機において、臼内への杵先の挿入を制限した上杵に対応する下杵を、その杵先を回転盤の上面とほぼ面一にして保持する定位置保持手段を備えてなることを特徴とする。
【0008】
このような構成であれば、上杵は、その杵先が臼内に挿入されることを制限されているため、その上杵に対応する下杵の杵先が回転盤の上面とほぼ面一になっていても、上杵の杵先が下杵の杵先と衝突することがない。このため、臼を取り外したり、下杵を取り外すと言った作業を行う必要がない。
【0009】
また、下杵の杵先が回転盤の上面とほぼ面一になっているので、圧縮する粉末が臼内に入ることもない。しかも、臼を取り外す必要がないので、臼の取り外しに付随する粉末の清掃作業も不要となる。
【0010】
したがって、生産量を調整する際に、圧縮動作を休止する上杵及び下杵の部分において、上杵、下杵及び臼を回転盤から取りはずことなく、生産量を小さくすることが可能になる。また、このような取り外しのための作業が不要となるため、生産量を切り替える際の変更作業に要する時間を短縮することが可能になる。加えて、上杵の杵先が臼内に挿入することを制限するので、上杵が下杵と接触して故障が発生することを防ぐことが可能になる。
【0011】
具体的には、定位置保持手段が、回転盤に取り付けられる下杵筒体と、下杵の下端部に回動可能に取り付けられて下杵筒体に係合して下杵の杵先を回転盤の上面とほぼ面一にする下杵切換部材とからなるものが好ましい。
【0012】
下杵を通常の使用状態とその杵先を回転盤の上面と面一に保持する状態とを容易に切り替えられるようにするには、下杵筒体が、内面の下端近傍に下杵切換部材が係合する内側溝部を有してなり、下杵切換部材が、その上端部分に下杵筒体の内側溝部に係合する鍔部を有してなるものが望ましい。
【0013】
通常運転と間引き運転との切換を確実にするには、下杵が、下杵切換部材の取付位置においてその内部に取り付けられて先端が突没し得る棒体を有し、下杵切換部材が、下杵筒体の内側溝部と未係合の状態の時に突出した棒体の先端が挿入される貫通孔を有してなるものが好適である。このように棒体の先端が突没して貫通孔に挿入されることにより、通常運転の場合に下杵切換部材が下杵筒体と係合することを確実に防止することが可能になる。
【0014】
上杵の杵先の臼内への挿入を制限するためには、上杵が、杵本体と、その杵本体に着脱可能に取り付けられて臼内に挿入される杵先を有する杵先体とからなり、下杵がその杵先を回転盤の上面と面一に保持される場合に杵先体が取り外されるものが好ましい。
【0015】
他品種を少量生産するためには、内径が異なる複数の臼と、臼の内径に対応する杵先を有する複数の上杵及び下杵とを取り付けてなるものが好ましい。このような構成であれば、品種に応じて使用する臼を設定しておき、その臼に対応して上杵及び下杵を取り付け、使用するものを切り替えることで、容易に他品種少量生産を実現することが可能になる。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施形態を、図面を参照して説明する。
【0017】
図1は本発明の回転式粉末圧縮成形機の全体構成を示すものである。この回転式粉末圧縮成形機は、フレーム1内に回転盤3を立シャフト2を介して水平回転可能に配設し、その回転盤3に複数の臼4を所定のピッチで設けるとともに、各臼4の上下に上杵5及び下杵6を上下摺動可能に保持させてある。上杵5と下杵6とのそれぞれの先端を臼4に挿入した状態で、上ロール71と下ロール72との間を通過させると、臼4内に充填された粉末を圧縮し得るように、それぞれの上ロール71と下ロール72とが立シャフト2を中心として回転盤3の上下位置に配設してある。なお、粉末の供給機構、圧縮された成形品の取り出し機構などの具体的構成についての説明は、当該分野で知られた構成を広く適用することができるので、この実施の形態では割愛する。
【0018】
また、回転盤3の周囲には、上杵5を昇降させる上杵案内レール機構8、及び下杵を昇降させる下杵案内レール機構9が配設してある(展開した図を図2に示す)。上杵案内レール機構8には、上杵5の杵先を臼4内に挿入させるための上杵降下カム81、及び成形品を臼4から取り出す際に上杵5の杵先を臼4内から抜き取るための上杵上昇カム82などが含まれる。また、下杵案内レール機構9には、粉末を臼4に充填する際に下杵6を降下させる低下器91、及び充填された粉末の量を調整するために下杵を所定位置まで上昇させる分量レール92などが含まれる。低下器91は、その上面に下杵6が通過する開口部91aを有するとともに、その開口部91aの縁が相互に接近する方向に突出することにより、後述する切換カム63のカム部63bが通常運転時に摺接するガイド部91bを有してる。
【0019】
具体的には、フレーム1の略中央部には軸受21により軸支された立シャフト2が配設してあるとともに、この立シャフト2の下端近傍にウォームホィール22が固定してあり、このウォームホィール22にウォーム23及びベルト24を介してモータ25の回転駆動力が伝達されるようになっている。そして、この立シャフト2の上端近傍に、3つの機能部分に分けられる回転盤3が固定してある。
【0020】
回転盤3は、その下側部分に設けられて下杵6を上下摺動可能に保持する下杵保持部31と、上側部分に設けられて上杵5を上下摺動可能に保持する上杵保持部32と、その上杵保持部32と下杵保持部31との間に設けられて臼4を着脱可能に嵌装する臼部33とから構成されている。上杵保持部32及び下杵保持部31には、上杵5及び下杵6を摺動移動可能に保持する杵保持孔32a、31aがそれぞれ複数穿設されている。下杵保持部31の杵保持孔31aには、下杵6を所定高さ位置に保持するための下杵筒体35が取り付けてある。臼部33には臼4を着脱可能に保持する臼保持孔33aが複数穿設されている。
【0021】
臼4は、前記臼保持孔33aに装着される臼本体41と、この臼本体41の内周に密接に嵌装された耐摩耗性を有するスリーブ42とからなっている。つまり、この回転盤3において、下杵6と上杵5と臼4とは、その中心が同一直線上に位置するように、それぞれ位置決めされている。
【0022】
一方、回転盤3の所定回転位置において、杵先を臼4内に挿入した上杵5の上端および杵先を臼4内に挿入した下杵6の下端がそれぞれ経過的に通過しながら添設する位置に上ロール71および下ロール72が軸着してあり、これら上ロール71および下ロール72により上杵5と下杵6とをそれぞれ臼4内に押し込み、臼4内に充填した粉末を圧縮成形するようにしている。
【0023】
上杵5は、図3に示すように、上杵本体51と、その上杵本体51の一方の端部すなわち下端部に着脱可能に取り付けられる上杵先部52と、上杵案内レール機構8に沿って転がる案内ローラ53とからなる。
【0024】
上杵本体51は、上杵保持部32に上下動可能に保持されるもので、その下端部に杵先の外径の異なる複数の上杵先部52を選択的に取り付けられるものである。この上杵本体51の先端部分には、周方向に120°離れて3箇所に複数の傾斜突条51aが形成してあるとともに、傾斜突条51a間は曲面ではなく平面に形成してある。すなわち、それぞれの傾斜突条51aは、上杵本体51の中心に対して約60°の中心角の扇形状の円周部分に形成してあるものであり、したがって傾斜突条51a間の平面部分も約60°の角度範囲における曲面を削除して形成してある。
【0025】
上杵先部52は、上杵本体51の先端部分にねじ作用により着脱可能に取り付けられるキャップ部材52aと、そのキャップ部材52aにより固定される杵先部材52bとからなる。キャップ部材52aは、上杵本体51に螺着するように、その内周壁面の3箇所には上杵本体51の傾斜突条51aに対応する傾斜溝52aaが形成してある。そして、多品種生産を行うために、杵先部材52bの杵先外径の異なるものを複数準備しておくものである。したがって、例えば外径の異なる品種の成形品を製造する場合であっても、上杵本体51は共通に使用でき、杵先部材52bを交換するのみで各種の成形品を圧縮成形することができるものである。なお、多品種少量生産を行うために圧縮成形を休止する上杵5の杵先部材52bを取り外した場合、杵先本体51の先端部分に粉末が付着することを防止する杵先栓部材54を、キャップ部材52a内に入れた状態でキャップ部材52aを杵先本体51に取り付け、その杵先栓部材54によりキャップ部材52aの杵先部材52bが貫通する開口部分を閉塞するものである。
【0026】
下杵6は、図4に示すように、下杵本体61と、下杵本体61の一方の端部すなわち上端部に着脱可能に取り付けられる下杵先部62と、下杵本体61の下端部に回動可能に取り付けられる定位置保持手段を構成する下杵切換部材である切換カム63と、切換カム63の下側に取り付けられる下杵ヘッド64とからなる。
【0027】
下杵本体61は、その側面に周り止めのためのキー部材61aを有するとともに、切換カム63を取り付ける下端部がそれ以外の部分より細くなっており、その境界部分に段部61bが形成されるものである。そして、その段部61bに切換カム63が係合するもので、切換カム63を上下移動しない状態にした場合に、下杵本体61は所定の位置に停止する。この切換カム63に包囲される部分に、切換カム63の位置決め用の位置決めセットピン61cを有している。この位置決めセットピン61cは、下杵本体61に設けられ、一方の開口が六角穴付止めねじ61eにより閉塞されたた取付貫通孔61hに内蔵されるもので、スプリング61dにより外側つまり切換カム63に向かって付勢されて、突没し得るようになっている。取付貫通孔61hの他方の開口すなわち位置決めセットピン61cが突没する側の開口は、下杵本体61がキー部材61aにより回転が規制されるので、常に回転盤3の外側方向に向くものである。
【0028】
下杵先部62は、上杵6の場合と同様に、内側に雌ねじの切られたキャップ部材62aと、そのキャップ部材62aにより固定される杵先部材62bとからなる。キャップ部材62aは、上杵5のものと同じであってよい。
【0029】
切換カム63は、取付胴部63aと、取付胴部63aの下端部に設けられるカム部63bとからなる。取付胴部63aは、その上端外周上に外側に突出する鍔部63aaと、その下端部分に位置決めセットピン61cの先端が挿入される貫通孔63abとを有している。鍔部63aaは、取付胴部63aの背向する外周部分に形成されるものである。カム部63bは、取付胴部63aの下端に鍔部63aaと同じ方向に突出するように一体に形成されるものである。
【0030】
下杵ヘッド64は、下杵6がキー部材61aにより回転しないようになっているので、下杵レール案内機構9に案内される際や、上及び下ロール71,72間を通過する際に、摺動により回転するように六角ねじ穴付止めねじ64aにより下杵本体61に取り付けてある。六角ねじ穴付止めねじ64aは、下杵本体61の下端部に設けられたテーパ部61mに当接することにより、下杵ヘッド64を回転可能に脱落しないように取り付けるものである。この六角ねじ穴付止めねじ64aは、緩みを防止するために、2個を一組にして使用するものである。
【0031】
上記の構成を有する下杵6は、通常運転時にあっては下杵保持部31に取り付けられる下杵筒体35に昇降可能に保持され、また間引き運転時にあっては下杵筒体35により所定の位置、すなわち下杵6の杵先を回転盤3の上面と面一となる位置に保持されるものである。定位置保持手段を構成する下杵筒体35は、下端に取付フランジ35aを有するもので、その上端近傍の内周壁には粉末の侵入を防止するダストシールDSが取り付けられている。また、取付フランジ35aの内側の位置には、切換カム63の鍔部63bが係合する内側溝35baと、内側溝35baに鍔部63aaを案内する案内溝35bbとからなる内側溝部35bが形成してある。内側溝35baは、鍔部63bの厚みとほぼ同じ内側高さ寸法を有し、案内溝35bbは鍔部63bが通過し得る幅寸法を有している。さらに、下杵筒体35の内側には、キー部材61aが摺接するキー溝35dが設けてある。
【0032】
この実施の形態にあっては、回転盤3の特に臼4の周辺温度を調節する温度調節機構を設けている。この温度調節機構は、回転盤3の肉厚内に設けられて相互に連通する分配経路A、媒体通路B及び集合経路Cと、立シャフト2内に設けられて分配経路Aに連通する導入経路D及び集合経路Cに連通する排出経路Eとからなり、導入経路D及び排出経路Eに接続部材10を接続して温度調節用の媒体を流通させるようにしたものである。分配経路A及び集合経路Cは、回転盤3の軸心を中心とする円環状に形成してある。媒体通路Bは、各臼4の間に形成されて分配経路Aと集合経路Cとを連通するものである。そして、接続部材10を介して導入経路Dに供給された媒体例えば冷却水は、分配経路Aに流入し、媒体通路Bに流れて各臼4を冷却する。その後、冷却水は、集合経路Cに流れ込み、排出経路Eを通って接続部材10から外部に排出される。
【0033】
このような構成において、通常運転すなわち同一の錠剤を全ての臼3において打錠する場合は、図5及び図6に示すように、全ての下杵6の切換カム63の鍔部63aaが下杵筒体35の内側溝35baに係合しない位置、つまり鍔部63aaが下杵筒部35と未係合の状態にセットする。この状態では、鍔部63aaは、案内溝35bb内に位置している。したがって、下杵6が下杵筒体35により保持されないため、下杵6は下杵案内レール機構9や下ロール72により案内あるいは付勢されて上下するものである。下杵6が上下する場合、キー部材61aがキー溝35d内を摺動するので、下杵本体61及び下杵先部62は下杵6の中心軸を中心にして回転しないが、下杵ヘッド64が回転するので、下杵6に捻れが生じることはない。また、下杵本体61の位置決めセットピン61cの先端が突出して、切換カム63に設けられた貫通孔63abに挿入された状態となるので、切換カム63は回転を規制された状態となる。この状態では、切換カム63のカム部63bが低下器91のガイド部91bに摺接して、下杵6は粉末を臼4内に充填するための最も低い位置まで案内されるものである。
【0034】
次に、間引き運転を行う場合は、図7〜図9に示すように、粉末の圧縮成形を休止する上杵5のキャップ部材52aを緩めて杵先部材52bを取り外すとともに、切換カム63の鍔部63aを下杵筒体35の内側溝35baに係合させて、下杵6をその杵先が回転盤3上面と面一の状態にして保持する。杵先部材52bの取り外しは、まず、図7に示すように、目的の上杵5を杵セット位置SET(図2に矢印にて示す)に導き、上杵案内レール機構8の杵セット部材83を回転盤3の中心方向に移動させて、上杵5の案内ローラ53を杵セット部材83から下ろす。この作業により、上杵5が杵セット部材83の厚み分だけ降下し、上杵5のキャップ部材52aが上杵保持部32の下側に露出するものとなる。この状態において、キャップ部材52aを反時計回転方向に60°回転させると、上杵本体51の傾斜突条51aとキャップ部材52aの傾斜溝52aaとの嵌合が解除され、キャップ部材52aは上杵本体51から取り外せる状態になる。そして、キャップ部材52a内から杵先部材52bを取り出し、代わりに杵先栓部材54をキャップ部材52a内に入れて、キャップ部材52aを上杵本体51に取り付ける。キャップ部材52aの取付は、傾斜溝52aaを上杵本体51の傾斜突条51a間に形成された平面部分下方に位置させ、キャップ部材52aを上杵本体51の先端に重ね合わせる。この後、キャップ部材52aを60°時計回転方向に回転させると、傾斜溝52aaが傾斜突条51aと螺合して、キャップ部材52aが上杵本体51に取り付けられる。そして、上杵5を引き上げ、杵セット部材83を案内ローラ53の下側まで移動させた後、ボルトBLで固定する。
【0035】
次に、下杵6を上述のような状態に保持するには、まず、切換カム63の貫通孔63abに挿入されている位置決めセットピン61cを、切換カム63の貫通孔63abに棒を挿入して、その棒により下杵本体61内に押し込む。そして、位置決めセットピン61cの先端が貫通孔63abから下杵本体61内に引っ込んだ状態で切換カム63をほぼ90°回転させて、鍔部63aaを下杵筒体35具体的にはその内側溝35baに係合させる。これにより、切換カム63が下杵筒体35に保持されて、下杵6の杵先が回転盤3の上面と面一になる。このように切換カム63を回転させた状態では、切換カム63のカム部63bが低下器91の長手方向に位置するために、カム部63bは低下器91のガイド部91bとは接触しないものである。つまり、切換カム63が、低下器91の開口部91aから上側に抜け出ることができる状態になっている。そして、間引き運転が開始されると、下杵6は切換カム63が下杵筒体35と係合しているので、図2に想像線で示すように、下杵案内レール機構9に下杵6のヘッド部64の構成に無関係に同一高さを保持した状態で移動するものとなる。
【0036】
したがって、運転を開始すると、各上杵5及び下杵6は上ロール71及び下ロール72の間を通過するが、圧縮成形を休止した上杵5は、杵先部材52が取り外されているのでその杵先が臼4内に到達することを規制される。また、圧縮成形を休止した下杵6は、上述のように、その杵先が回転盤3の上面と面一に保持してあるので、臼4内に圧縮される粉末が充填されることがない。このように、上杵5の杵先を取り外すこと、及び切換カム63を回転させて下杵6により臼4を実質的な無孔臼にすることにより、熟練を要しない簡単な作業により間引き運転にて粉末の圧縮を休止する上杵5、下杵6及び臼4を設定することができる。それゆえ、通常運転と間引き運転との切換に要する作業時間を短縮化することができる。また、臼4を取り外すことがないので、間引き運転前の粉末の清掃作業を不要にすることができる。
【0037】
このような間引き運転を行う際に、例えば粉末の圧縮を休止する上杵5、下杵6及び臼4を粉末の圧縮を行う位置の上杵5、下杵6及び臼4とは異なる寸法のもの、言い換えれば品種の成形品を成形するための組み合わせのものをセットすれば、1台の回転式粉末圧縮成形機により上杵5及び下杵6の設定を切り換えることで、他品種を少量生産することができる。すなわち、3種類の品種を生産する場合、3種類の上杵5、下杵6及び臼4の組み合わせをセットする。例えば、第1の上杵、下杵及び臼の組み合わせは小径の錠剤、第2の組み合わせは小径のものより大きな径の錠剤、第3の組み合わせはさらに大径の錠剤をそれぞれ生産するものとし、第1の組み合わせにより錠剤を生産する場合は、第2及び第3の組み合わせによる生産を休止するように、上述の方法で上杵5及び下杵6をセットする。なお、上記実施の形態にあっては、上杵5及び下杵6ともに、杵先を単独で交換できる構成にしているので、上杵先部52の杵先部材52b、下杵先部62の杵先部材62bを交換すれば、容易に異なる品種用のものに変更することが可能になる。
【0038】
このようにして、上記した第1の組み合わせ、第2の組み合わせ、及び第3の組み合わせのうちの一つの組み合わせを選択して稼働させることにより、同一の回転式粉末圧縮成形機において、上杵5、下杵6及び臼4をその都度取り外すことなく異なる品種の圧縮成形品つまり錠剤を生産することができる。したがって、組み合わせの数を上記に説明した以上の数とすることにより、多品種を少量、容易に生産することができる。
【0039】
なお、本発明は上記実施の形態に限定されるものではない。
【0040】
その他、各部の具体的構成についても上記実施の形態に限られるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変形が可能である。
【0041】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、以上に詳述したように、生産量を調整する際に、上杵の杵先が臼内に挿入されることを制限し、その上杵に対応する下杵の杵先を回転盤の上面とほぼ面一に保持するので、圧縮動作を休止する上杵及び下杵の部分において、上杵、下杵及び臼を回転盤から取りはずことなく、生産量を小さくすることができる。また、このような取り外しのための作業が不要となるため、生産量を切り替える際の変更作業に要する時間を短縮することができる。加えて、上杵の杵先が臼内に挿入することを制限するので、上杵が下杵と接触して故障が発生することを防ぐことができる。さらにまた、下杵の杵先が回転盤の上面とほぼ面一になっているので、臼を回転盤に取り付けている状態であるにもかかわらず、圧縮する粉末が臼内に入ることを防止することができる。

The present invention relates to a rotary powder compression molding machine for compressing powder to form tablets, foods and electronic parts.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in this type of powder compression molding machine, a plurality of mortars filled with powder to be compressed are arranged in a circumferential direction at a predetermined pitch, and upper and lower rivets held vertically slidable above and below each mortar. By passing between the upper roll and the lower roll, the tips of the upper punch and the lower punch are operated so as to approach each other at the same time, and the powder filled in the die is compression-molded. Usually, when manufacturing a tablet, for example, the same kind of tablet is manufactured by the same rotary powder compression molding machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in recent years, due to the shrinking of the market and the like, a thinning operation for reducing the production amount may be performed depending on the kind of tablets to be manufactured. In such a thinning operation, unlike the normal operation, the number of upper and lower eyelids and mortars that are compressed is reduced. Specifically, for example, when the production volume is reduced to 1/3, unnecessary upper and lower eyelids are removed to reduce the number to 1/3, and the mortar corresponding to the removed upper and lower eyelids is removed. In the place where the die is attached, a non-perforated die whose upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the rotating disk is attached. The non-perforated mortar is to prevent the powder from being scattered into the machine through the mortar when the ordinary mortar is left attached.
[0005]
However, when the production amount is reduced in this way, unnecessary work of removing the upper punch, the lower punch and the die and the attaching operation of the non-perforated die are generated. For this reason, it takes a long time to start production, and when removing the die, it is necessary to clean the powder remaining in the portion around the die. Moreover, if the positions of the upper and lower punches to be removed and the non-perforated mortar to be attached are mistaken, the non-perforated mortar without a mortar may cause a failure of each reed.
[0006]
The object of the present invention is to eliminate such problems.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, in the rotary powder compression molding machine of the present invention, a rotating disk is disposed in a frame so as to be horizontally rotatable via a vertical shaft, and a plurality of dies are provided on the rotating disk at a predetermined pitch. The upper and lower punches are held so as to be slidable up and down, and the upper and lower punches with the heel tip inserted into the die are filled between the upper and lower rolls. In a rotary powder compression molding machine designed to compress powder, the lower iron corresponding to the upper iron that restricts the insertion of the iron tip into the die is made flush with the upper surface of the rotary plate. It is characterized by comprising fixed position holding means for holding.
[0008]
In such a configuration, since the upper edge of the upper edge is restricted from being inserted into the mortar, the lower edge of the lower edge corresponding to the upper edge is substantially flush with the upper surface of the turntable. Even if it is, the tip of the upper arm will not collide with the tip of the lower arm. For this reason, it is not necessary to perform the work of removing the mortar or removing the lower armpit.
[0009]
In addition, since the tip of the lower punch is substantially flush with the upper surface of the rotating disk, the powder to be compressed does not enter the die. Moreover, since it is not necessary to remove the mortar, it is not necessary to clean the powder accompanying the removal of the mortar.
[0010]
Accordingly, when adjusting the production amount, it is possible to reduce the production amount without removing the upper iron, lower iron and mortar from the rotating disk in the upper and lower iron portions where the compression operation is stopped. . In addition, since the removal work is not necessary, it is possible to shorten the time required for the change work when switching the production amount. In addition, since the tip of the upper arm is restricted from being inserted into the die, it is possible to prevent the upper arm from coming into contact with the lower arm and causing a failure.
[0011]
Specifically, the fixed position holding means is rotatably attached to the lower end portion of the lower heel and is attached to the lower end of the lower heel so as to engage the lower heel cylinder to What consists of the lower eyelid switching member made substantially flush with the upper surface of a turntable is preferable.
[0012]
In order to enable easy switching between the state in which the lower rod is in a normal use state and the state in which the tip of the lower rod is held flush with the upper surface of the turntable, the lower rod cylinder is disposed near the lower end of the inner surface. It is desirable that the lower rod switching member has an inner groove portion that engages with the inner groove portion of the lower rod cylinder at the upper end portion thereof.
[0013]
In order to ensure switching between the normal operation and the thinning operation, the lower rod has a rod body that can be attached to the inside of the lower rod switching member at the mounting position, and the tip of the lower rod switching member can be projected and retracted. It is preferable to have a through-hole into which the tip of a rod that protrudes when not engaged with the inner groove of the lower rod cylinder is inserted. In this way, the tip of the rod body projects and is inserted into the through hole, so that it is possible to reliably prevent the lower rod switching member from engaging with the lower rod cylinder during normal operation. .
[0014]
In order to restrict insertion of the tip of the upper heel into the mortar, the upper heel has a heel body, and a heel body having a heel that is removably attached to the heel body and inserted into the mortar. It is preferable that the lower edge of the lower edge is removed when the edge of the lower edge is held flush with the upper surface of the turntable.
[0015]
In order to produce other varieties in a small quantity, it is preferable to attach a plurality of mortars having different inner diameters and a plurality of upper and lower ridges having rivets corresponding to the inner diameter of the mortar. If it is such a structure, set the die to be used according to the variety, attach the upper and lower eyelids according to the die, and switch the one to be used, making it easy to produce other types of small quantities. Can be realized.
[0016]

[0024]
The upper heel body 51 is held by the upper heel holding portion 32 so as to be movable up and down, and a plurality of upper heel tip portions 52 having different outer diameters of the heel tips are selectively attached to lower ends thereof. A plurality of inclined ridges 51a are formed at three positions 120 ° apart from each other in the circumferential direction at the distal end portion of the upper rod main body 51, and the space between the inclined ridges 51a is not a curved surface but a flat surface. That is, each inclined protrusion 51a is formed in a fan-shaped circumferential portion having a central angle of about 60 ° with respect to the center of the upper collar main body 51, and therefore, a plane portion between the inclined protrusions 51a.

And in order to perform multi-product production, a plurality of different tips of the tip member 52b are prepared. Therefore, for example, even when producing molded products of different varieties in outer diameter, the upper collar body 51 can be used in common, and various molded products can be compression-molded simply by replacing the collar member 52b. Is. In addition, when removing the tip member 52b of the upper punch 5 that stops the compression molding in order to perform multi-product small-volume production, a tip stopper member 54 that prevents the powder from adhering to the tip portion of the tip main body 51 is provided. The cap member 52a is attached to the tip body 51 in the state where it is put in the cap member 52a, and the opening portion through which the tip member 52b of the cap member 52a passes is blocked by the tip plug member 54.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 4, the lower punch 6 includes a lower punch main body 61, a lower punch tip 62 that is detachably attached to one end of the lower punch main body 61, that is, an upper end, and a lower end of the lower punch main body 61. A switching cam 63 that is a lower collar switching member that constitutes a fixed position holding means that is pivotally attached to the lower cam, and a lower collar head 64 that is attached to the lower side of the switching cam 63.
[0027]
The lower rod body 61 has a key member 61a for preventing rotation on its side surface, and a lower end portion to which the switching cam 63 is attached is thinner than the other portions, and a step portion 61b is formed at the boundary portion. Is. Then, the switching cam 63 engages with the stepped portion 61b, and when the switching cam 63 is not moved up and down, the lower eyelid main body 61 stops at a predetermined position. A positioning set pin 61 c for positioning the switching cam 63 is provided in a portion surrounded by the switching cam 63. The positioning set pin 61c is provided in the lower rod main body 61, and one opening is built in a mounting through hole 61h closed by a hexagon socket set screw 61e. It is energized towards it so that it can sink. The other opening of the mounting through-hole 61h, that is, the opening on the side where the positioning set pin 61c protrudes and retracts is always directed to the outer side of the turntable 3 because the rotation of the lower collar body 61 is restricted by the key member 61a. .
[0028]
Similar to the case of the upper collar 6, the lower collar part 62 is composed of a cap member 62a having an internal thread cut therein and a collar member 62b fixed by the cap member 62a. The cap member 62a may be the same as that of the upper collar 5.
[0029]
The switching cam 63 includes an attachment barrel portion 63a and a cam portion 63b provided at the lower end portion of the attachment barrel portion 63a. The mounting barrel 63a has a flange 63aa protruding outward on the outer periphery of the upper end, and a through hole 63ab into which the tip of the positioning set pin 61c is inserted at the lower end. The flange portion 63aa is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the attachment barrel portion 63a facing backward. The cam part 63b is integrally formed at the lower end of the mounting body part 63a so as to protrude in the same direction as the flange part 63aa.
[0030]
Since the lower eyelid head 64 is configured so that the lower eyelid 6 is not rotated by the key member 61a, when being guided by the lower eyelid rail guide mechanism 9 or when passing between the upper and lower rolls 71 and 72, It is attached to the lower iron body 61 by a hexagon screw hole set screw 64a so as to rotate by sliding. The set screw 64a with a hexagonal screw hole is attached so as not to fall off in a rotatable manner by coming into contact with a tapered portion 61m provided at the lower end portion of the lower rod main body 61. The hexagon screw hole set screws 64a are used as a set in order to prevent loosening.
[0031]
The lower rod 6 having the above configuration is held so as to be movable up and down by the lower rod cylinder 35 attached to the lower rod holding portion 31 during normal operation, and is predetermined by the lower rod cylinder 35 during thinning operation. In other words, the tip of the lower rod 6 is held at a position flush with the upper surface of the turntable 3. The lower rod cylinder 35 constituting the fixed position holding means has a mounting flange 35a at the lower end, and a dust seal DS for preventing powder intrusion is attached to the inner peripheral wall near the upper end. In addition, an inner groove portion 35b including an inner groove 35ba that engages the flange portion 63b of the switching cam 63 and a guide groove 35bb that guides the flange portion 63aa to the inner groove 35ba is formed at a position inside the mounting flange 35a. It is. The inner groove 35ba has an inner height that is substantially the same as the thickness of the flange 63b, and the guide groove 35bb has a width that allows the flange 63b to pass through. Further, a key groove 35d in which the key member 61a is slidably contacted is provided inside the lower rod cylinder 35.
[0032]
In this embodiment, a temperature adjusting mechanism is provided for adjusting the temperature around the mortar 4 of the rotating disk 3 in particular. The temperature adjusting mechanism is provided in the wall thickness of the turntable 3 and communicates with the distribution path A, the medium path B, and the collecting path C, and the introduction path that is provided in the vertical shaft 2 and communicates with the distribution path A. D and a discharge route E communicating with the collecting route C, and a connecting member 10 is connected to the introduction route D and the discharge route E so that a temperature adjusting medium is circulated. The distribution path A and the collection path C are formed in an annular shape centering on the axis of the rotating disk 3. The medium passage B is formed between the dies 4 and communicates the distribution route A and the collecting route C. Then, the medium, for example, cooling water supplied to the introduction path D via the connection member 10 flows into the distribution path A and flows into the medium path B to cool each die 4. Thereafter, the cooling water flows into the collecting path C and is discharged to the outside through the discharge path E from the connection member 10.
[0033]
In such a configuration, in normal operation, that is, when the same tablet is tableted in all the mortars 3, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the collar portions 63aa of the switching cams 63 of all the lower collars 6 are lowered. A position where the inner groove 35ba of the cylindrical body 35 is not engaged, that is, the flange portion 63aa is set in a state where it is not engaged with the lower flange cylinder portion 35. In this state, the collar portion 63aa is located in the guide groove 35bb. Therefore, since the lower rod 6 is not held by the lower rod cylinder 35, the lower rod 6 is guided or urged by the lower rod guide rail mechanism 9 or the lower roll 72 to move up and down. When the lower collar 6 moves up and down, the key member 61a slides in the key groove 35d, so the lower collar body 61 and the lower collar tip 62 do not rotate about the central axis of the lower collar 6, but the lower collar head Since 64 rotates, the lower collar 6 is not twisted. Further, the tip of the positioning set pin 61c of the lower rod main body 61 protrudes and is inserted into the through hole 63ab provided in the switching cam 63, so that the switching cam 63 is in a state in which the rotation is restricted. In this state, the cam portion 63b of the switching cam 63 is in sliding contact with the guide portion 91b of the lowering device 91, and the lower iron 6 is guided to the lowest position for filling the powder into the die 4.
[0034]
Next, when performing the thinning operation, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the cap member 52 a of the upper iron 5 that stops the compression molding of the powder is loosened to remove the tip member 52 b and the hook of the switching cam 63. The portion 63 a is engaged with the inner groove 35 ba of the lower rod cylinder 35, and the lower rod 6 is held with its flange point flush with the upper surface of the rotating disk 3. As shown in FIG. 7, the heel tip member 52 b is removed by first guiding the desired upper heel 5 to the heel setting position SET (indicated by an arrow in FIG. 2), and the heel setting member 83 of the upper heel guide rail mechanism 8. Is moved toward the center of the rotating disk 3 to lower the guide roller 53 of the upper rod 5 from the rod setting member 83. By this operation, the upper collar 5 is lowered by the thickness of the collar setting member 83, and the cap member 52a of the upper collar 5 is exposed to the lower side of the upper collar holding portion 32. In this state, when the cap member 52a is rotated 60 ° in the counterclockwise direction, the fitting between the inclined protrusion 51a of the upper rod main body 51 and the inclined groove 52aa of the cap member 52a is released, and the cap member 52a is It will be in the state which can be removed from the main body 51. Then, the hook member 52b is taken out from the cap member 52a, and instead, the hook member 54 is inserted into the cap member 52a, and the cap member 52a is attached to the upper hook body 51. For attaching the cap member 52 a, the inclined groove 52 aa is positioned below the flat portion formed between the inclined protrusions 51 a of the upper rod main body 51, and the cap member 52 a is overlapped with the tip of the upper rod main body 51. Thereafter, when the cap member 52a is rotated in the clockwise direction by 60 °, the inclined groove 52aa is screwed with the inclined protrusion 51a, and the cap member 52a is attached to the upper collar body 51. Then, after the upper collar 5 is pulled up and the collar setting member 83 is moved to the lower side of the guide roller 53, it is fixed with the bolt BL.
[0035]
Next, in order to hold the lower rod 6 in the above-described state, first, a positioning set pin 61c inserted into the through hole 63ab of the switching cam 63 is inserted, and a rod is inserted into the through hole 63ab of the switching cam 63. Then, the rod is pushed into the lower iron body 61 with the stick. Then, with the tip of the positioning set pin 61c retracted from the through-hole 63ab into the lower rod body 61, the switching cam 63 is rotated by approximately 90 °, so that the flange portion 63aa is formed into the inner groove of the lower rod cylinder 35. Engage with 35ba. As a result, the switching cam 63 is held by the lower rod cylinder 35, and the tip of the lower rod 6 is flush with the upper surface of the turntable 3. When the switching cam 63 is rotated in this way, the cam portion 63b of the switching cam 63 is positioned in the longitudinal direction of the lowering device 91, so that the cam portion 63b does not contact the guide portion 91b of the lowering device 91. is there. That is, the switching cam 63 is in a state where it can come out from the opening 91a of the lowering device 91 upward. When the thinning operation is started, the lower rod 6 is engaged with the lower rod cylinder 35 because the switching cam 63 is engaged with the lower rod cylinder 35. Therefore, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. It moves in the state where the same height is maintained irrespective of the configuration of the six head portions 64.
[0036]
Therefore, when the operation is started, each of the upper rod 5 and the lower rod 6 passes between the upper roll 71 and the lower roll 72, but the tip member 52 is removed from the upper rod 5 that has stopped the compression molding. The tip of the heel is restricted from reaching the die 4. In addition, as described above, the lower punch 6 that has stopped the compression molding has its tip held flush with the upper surface of the rotating disk 3, so that the powder to be compressed in the die 4 may be filled. Absent. In this way, by removing the tip of the upper punch 5 and rotating the switching cam 63 to make the die 4 substantially non-perforated by the lower punch 6, the thinning operation can be performed by a simple operation that does not require skill. The upper punch 5, the lower punch 6 and the die 4 can be set to stop the powder compression. Therefore, the work time required for switching between the normal operation and the thinning operation can be shortened. Moreover, since the mortar 4 is not removed, the powder cleaning operation before the thinning operation can be made unnecessary.
[0037]
When performing such a thinning operation, for example, the upper punch 5, the lower punch 6 and the mortar 4 that stop the compression of the powder have dimensions different from those of the upper punch 5, the lower punch 6 and the mortar 4 where the powder is compressed. If you set a product, in other words, a combination to form a molded product of a variety, you can produce a small amount of other varieties by switching the settings of the upper plate 5 and the lower plate 6 with a single rotary powder compression molding machine. can do. That is, when three kinds of varieties are produced, a combination of three kinds of upper iron 5, lower iron 6 and mortar 4 is set. For example, the combination of the first upper arm, the lower arm and the mortar is a small-diameter tablet, the second combination is a tablet having a larger diameter than the small one, and the third combination is a larger-diameter tablet. When producing a tablet by the first combination, the upper punch 5 and the lower punch 6 are set by the above-described method so as to stop the production by the second and third combinations. In the above-described embodiment, both the upper collar 5 and the lower collar 6 are configured such that the collar tips can be replaced independently, so that the collar member 52b of the upper collar tip portion 52 and the lower collar tip portion 62 If the tip member 62b is replaced, it can be easily changed to one for a different product type.
[0038]
In this way, by selecting and operating one of the first combination, the second combination, and the third combination described above, in the same rotary powder compression molding machine, Compressed products of different varieties, that is, tablets can be produced without removing the lower punch 6 and the die 4 each time. Therefore, by making the number of combinations more than the number described above, a large variety can be easily produced in a small amount.
[0039]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
[0040]
In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, the present invention limits the insertion of the tip of the upper punch into the die when adjusting the production amount, and rotates the tip of the lower punch corresponding to the upper punch. Since it is held almost flush with the upper surface of the board, it is possible to reduce the production amount without removing the upper iron, lower iron and mortar from the rotating disk in the upper and lower iron parts where the compression operation is stopped. . Moreover, since the removal work is not necessary, the time required for the change work when the production amount is switched can be shortened. In addition, since the tip of the upper heel is restricted from being inserted into the die, it is possible to prevent the upper heel from coming into contact with the lower heel and causing a failure. Furthermore, since the tip of the lower iron is almost flush with the upper surface of the turntable, it prevents the powder to be compressed from entering the die even though the die is attached to the turntable. can do.
