DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In addition, the stirring and conveying device 1 shown in these figures
00 has the same basic configuration as the stirring and conveying device 10 shown in the related art, so the rail 2 and traveling vehicle 3 having the same configuration as the stirring and conveying device 10 will not be described in FIGS. 1 to 3. To do. Further, in the following embodiments, the same parts as those of the agitating and conveying device 10 shown in the related art are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is simplified.

The structure of the characteristic part of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIG. 1, an oscillating member 21 which is L-shaped in a front view and is oscillatable about a horizontal rotary shaft 20 is provided at an upper position of the pressure receiving plate 6. The swinging member 21 is located between the pressure receiving plate 6 and the stirring mechanism 4 and is located on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate 6 and the first plate-shaped member 22 which is collided with the blade 5 of the stirring mechanism 4. The first plate-shaped member 22 and the second plate-shaped member 23 integrated with the first plate-shaped member 22. In the state where no force is applied from the outside, the second plate-shaped member is caused by its own weight as shown in FIG. 22 is arranged along the pressure receiving plate 6. The plate-shaped members 22 and 23 that form the swinging member 21 are formed by plate-shaped members that extend in a direction orthogonal to the paper surfaces of FIGS. Further, the swing member 2
1 is the second plate-like member 23 in the state shown in FIG.
However, it forms the same plane as the pressure receiving plate 6,
Further, the pressure receiving plate 6 is provided with a stopper that restricts the swinging member 21 from rotating further clockwise from the state shown in FIG.

The oscillating member 21 causes the rotary shaft 20 to move when the blade 5 is driven by the driving means 4C of the stirring mechanism 4 and the first plate member 22 collides with the blade 5. The whole swings around the center, which causes the second plate-like member 23 to swing (see FIG. 2). Then, due to the collision between the blade 5 and the first plate-shaped member 22 as shown in FIG.
When the second plate-shaped member 23 swings as shown in FIG. 2, the raw material M deposited on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate 6 along the pressure receiving plate 6 (see FIG. 3B). ) Can be stirred to break up the state of accumulation of the raw material M (see FIG. 3 (a)),
As a result, the raw material M can be deposited at a sufficient height on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate 6 without forming a height difference.

As described in detail above, in the stirring and conveying device 100 shown in this embodiment, like the conventional stirring and conveying device 10 (see FIGS. 3B and 4), the pressure receiving plate 6 is provided on the rear side.
Since it is possible to effectively use the raw material storage space in the stirring tank 1 without forming a useless space X in which the raw material M is not deposited, the raw material M is not enlarged in the height direction as a result. The effect of increasing the storage capacity of

Further, in the above stirring and conveying device 100, the raw material M can be deposited without forming a height difference on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate 6, unlike the conventional stirring and conveying device 10 (see FIG. 4). Therefore, it is possible to obtain a sufficient propulsive force for pushing the pressure receiving plate 6 forward to advance the stirring mechanism 4,
As a result, it is possible to prevent the stirring efficiency of the raw material M from decreasing. Further, in the above stirring and conveying device 100, the swinging member 21 is swingably provided at the upper position of the pressure receiving plate 6, and the first plate-shaped member 22 thereof is provided between the pressure receiving plate 6 and the stirring mechanism 4. Since they are arranged, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A, the raw material M scraped up by the stirring mechanism 4 by such a first plate-shaped member 22 is transferred to the pressure receiving plate 6 and the stirring mechanism 4. Between the pressure receiving plate 6 and the stirring mechanism 4 is not clogged with the raw material M, and an unnecessary load is prevented from being applied to the driving means 4C of the stirring mechanism 4. Also, it is possible to suppress the wasteful consumption of electric power.

In this embodiment, the L-shaped rocking member 2 is used.
1 is provided, but if the material M deposited behind the pressure receiving plate 6 can be broken by swinging, it is not necessarily L-shaped, and may be V-shaped, for example.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the swinging movement of the second plate-shaped member allows the raw material deposited on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate along the pressure receiving plate. By stirring, the deposition state of the raw material can be destroyed, and as a result, the raw material can be sufficiently deposited on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate without forming a height difference. That is, in the stirring and conveying device of the present invention, it is possible to effectively use the raw material storage space in the stirring tank without forming a useless space where the raw material is not deposited on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate. The effect of increasing the storage capacity of the raw material can be obtained without increasing the size of the device in the height direction.

Further, in the stirring and conveying apparatus of the present invention, since the raw material can be deposited without forming a height difference on the rear side of the pressure receiving plate, the pressure receiving plate is pushed forward to advance the stirring mechanism. It is possible to obtain a sufficient propulsion force, which can prevent the deterioration of the stirring efficiency of the raw materials. Further, in the stirring and conveying device of the present invention, the swinging member is
It is swingably provided at the upper position of the pressure receiving plate, and its first
Since the plate-shaped member is disposed between the pressure receiving plate and the stirring mechanism, the raw material scraped up by the stirring mechanism by such a first plate-shaped member falls between the pressure receiving plate and the stirring mechanism. As a result, it is possible to prevent the material between the pressure receiving plate and the stirring mechanism from being clogged with the raw material, prevent an unnecessary load from being applied to the stirring mechanism, and suppress unnecessary power consumption. Also plays.
