Abstract

This powder transport device comprises: transport pipe (11) that can transport powder by way of gravity by having a prescribed angle of inclination; a porous plate (12) that is disposed along the transport pipe (11) so as to divide a line cross section into a top section and bottom section and form a powder line (11d) in the top section; an inert gas supply line for fluidization (13) that is provided under the porous plate (12) and supplies an assist gas (g) to the powder line (11d) through the porous plate (12); and a deposit status monitoring device (20) that constantly monitors the state of the powder deposited on the top face side of the porous plate (12) in the powder line (11d).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A powder transport device, comprising:
a powder transport line which can transport powder by way of gravity by having a prescribed angle of inclination;
a porous plate which is disposed along the powder transport line to divide a line cross section into a top section and a bottom section and form a powder line in the top section;
a supply line which is provided below the porous plate and supplies an inert gas for fluidization to the powder line through the porous plate;
a fixed amount supply state monitoring device which detects a wall surface temperature of the powder transport line and includes multiple temperature sensors for monitoring a fixed amount supply state of flowing powder in the powder line, the multiple temperature sensors being provided in an axial direction of the powder transport line; and
a controller which controls an amount of the inert gas for fluidization supplied to the supply line so as to fluidize the powder deposited in the powder line, if at least one detection value of the multiple temperature sensors indicates a state where a flow amount of powder decreases in association with a decrease in the wall surface temperature of the powder transport line.

2. The powder transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the multiple temperature sensors detect an inner wall surface temperature of the powder transport line.

3. The powder transport device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the multiple temperature sensors are provided in a peripheral direction of the powder transport line.

4. The powder transport device according to claim 1 , further comprising
one or multiple vibration devices having an inert gas as a drive source being provided on the lower surface of the porous plate.
