The operation part 3 can move between a measuring position where an inlet of the connection passage faces the passage hole and allows the content which has passed the passage hole to enter the connection passage and an outlet of the connection passage is closed, and a take-out position P2 where the outlet faces the take-out hole and allows the content which has passed the take-out hole to be taken out from the connection passage. When the operation part moves from the measuring position to the take-out position, between the inlet and the passage hole, the content is broken.

Description

  The present invention relates to a weighing container.

For example, a container described in Patent Document 1 below is known as a container that can be switched between a content take-out state and a storage state.
The container is stored in a state in which the contents are stacked in multiple stages, and a storage cylinder part in which an outlet for taking out the contents is formed at the lower end part, and an exterior of the storage cylinder part and a storage cylinder part. And an outer cylindrical body that is screwed up and down to move up and down and opens and closes the outlet.

  According to this container, since the outlet can be opened by raising the outer cylinder relative to the storage cylinder, it is possible to take out the contents located at the lowest stage among the contents stacked in multiple stages. It becomes. In addition, since the remaining contents are moved down by one stage due to their own weight by taking out the contents located at the lowermost stage, new contents move to the take-out port and wait for the next take-out.

JP 2010-235194 A

  However, in the conventional container described above, one content moves to the outlet, and the moved content itself is taken out. For example, in the case of a standard tablet or the like in which the content is formed in a predetermined size However, it has not been possible to meet the need to take out one content at a time.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, The objective is to provide the measuring container which can take out while subdividing one content into below predetermined amount.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following means.
(1) The measuring container according to the present invention communicates with the accommodation chamber through which the contents are accommodated and a passage hole through which the contents pass, and through an extraction hole through which the contents pass and is taken out. A container body having a communication chamber communicating with the outside, and an operation section provided in the communication chamber so as to be movable with respect to the container body and having a connection passage through which the contents pass. The operation portion is configured such that an entrance portion of the connection passage faces the passage hole, allows the contents to enter the connection passage through the passage hole, and an exit portion of the connection passage is provided. The metering position is closed, and the outlet portion is opposed to the take-out hole, and the take-out position in which the contents in the connection passage through the take-out hole can be taken out is movable. The operation unit is removed from the weighing position. When moving to the position, characterized by breaking the content between the apertures and the inlet portion.

According to the measuring container of the present invention, when the operation unit is located at the measuring position, the contents stored in the storage chamber are connected through the passage hole and the inlet by, for example, tilting the container body. You can enter the passage. At this time, since the outlet portion of the connection passage is closed, the contents that have entered the connection passage do not move first from the outlet portion in the connection passage.
At this time, if the length of the contents entering the connection passage is longer than the length of the connection passage and protrudes into the accommodating portion through the passage hole, by moving the operation portion from the measurement position to the removal position, An external force that sandwiches the contents between the passage hole and the inlet portion of the connection passage and compresses in the radial direction can be applied. Thereby, for example, the contents can be broken or folded so that the contents are divided into two, and the contents can be subdivided into defined lengths. Then, at the take-out position, the subdivided contents can be taken out from the connection passage through the outlet portion and the take-out hole.

In addition, when the length of the content that has entered the connection passage is shorter than the length of the connection passage, when the operation unit is moved from the measuring position to the removal position, the content is not broken and the connection passage is not broken. It is taken out from the inside through the outlet and the take-out hole.
As described above, even if a plurality of contents are stored in the storage chamber, they can be easily taken out while being subdivided (measured) into a length equal to or less than the length defined for each of the contents.

(2) In the measuring container according to the present invention, the operation unit may be disposed between the measuring position and the take-out position so as to be elastically displaceable.

  In this case, after the operating unit is moved from the measuring position to the take-out position, the operating unit can be naturally returned to the measuring position using elastic force. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of moving the operation unit from the take-out position to the measurement position, and to improve the operability of the operation unit.

(3) In the weighing container according to the present invention, the operation portion is positioned on the central axis of the passage hole and rotates about a rotation axis perpendicular to the central axis, so that the weighing position and the take-out position are It may be possible to move between the two.

In this case, it is not necessary to push the entire operation unit as in the case of slide movement, and the operation unit can be moved between the measuring position and the take-out position by a simple operation only by rotating around the rotation axis. Therefore, for example, a one-touch operation with a fingertip is possible, and the operability is further improved.
Further, since the rotation axis is located on the center axis of the passage hole, the contents entering the connection passage and the rotation axis can be crossed. Therefore, when rotating the operation unit to move it to the take-out position, it is easy to efficiently transmit the external force necessary for breaking to the contents. Therefore, the operation unit can be rotated with a slight force, and the operability can be further improved.

  According to the measuring container according to the present invention, one content can be easily taken out while being divided into a predetermined amount or less.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the measuring container 1 of the present embodiment includes a container main body 2 in which the contents A are accommodated, and an operation unit 3 that is movably attached to the container main body 2. I have.

The container body 2 includes a first case 10 and a second case 20 combined with the first case 10, and the first case 10 and the second case 20 partially overlap each other. It is a double container. The container body 2 as a whole is formed in a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape having a height L larger than the width W and a thickness T smaller (thin) than the width W.
In addition, the container main body 2 does not need to overlap partially double, for example, you may comprise by combining a case main body and a cover board.

  In the present embodiment, an axis passing through the center of the cross section of the container body 2 is referred to as a container axis O1, and a ceiling wall 22B side described later is referred to as an upper side along the container axis O1, and the opposite side is referred to as a lower side. The side. The direction orthogonal to the container axis O1 is referred to as the radial direction. Furthermore, the direction along the width direction of the container body 2 in the radial direction is referred to as a first direction S1, and the direction along the thickness direction of the container body 2 in the radial direction is referred to as a second direction S2 (perpendicular to the first direction S1). Direction).

  In the present embodiment, the content A is a cylindrical rod-like content that is long in the vertical direction. However, the shape of the content A is not limited to a rod shape. In addition, as this kind of contents A, a refreshing confectionery, a chemical | medical agent, a supplement, etc. are mentioned, for example.

The first case 10 and the second case 20 are combined with each other so as to overlap in the second direction S2.
As shown in FIG. 4, the first case 10 includes a first side wall portion 11 formed in a rectangular shape in a side view viewed from the second direction S <b> 2 and a second side along the outer peripheral edge of the first side wall portion 11. And a first peripheral wall portion 12 erected toward the case 20 side.

The first peripheral wall portion 12 is not formed over the entire circumference of the first side wall portion 11, but in a side view as viewed from the second direction S <b> 2 so as to exclude the upper side of the first side wall portion 11. It is formed in a letter shape.
The part located in the lower end part of the 1st side wall part 11 among the 1st surrounding wall parts 12 is called bottom wall part 12A, and while being connected to 12 A of bottom wall parts among the 1st surrounding wall parts 12, it is 1st direction S1. The facing portions are referred to as a pair of outer wall portions 12B and 12C. Note that the height of the pair of outer wall portions 12B and 12C from the bottom wall portion 12A is not the same, and one outer wall portion 12B protrudes higher than the other outer wall portion 12C.

The second case 20 stands up toward the first case 10 along the second side wall portion 21 formed in a rectangular shape in a side view as viewed from the second direction S2 and along the outer peripheral edge of the second side wall portion 21. And a second peripheral wall portion 22 provided.
The second side wall portion 21 faces the first side wall portion 11 of the first case 10 in the second direction S <b> 2, and the outer shape substantially matches the outer shape of the first side wall portion 11. However, the portion of the second side wall portion 21 excluding the upper side is formed to be slightly smaller so as to fit inside the first peripheral wall portion 12 in the first case 10.

The second peripheral wall portion 22 is not formed over the entire circumference of the second side wall portion 21, but is formed so as to exclude a part of the upper side of the second side wall portion 21.
A portion of the second peripheral wall portion 22 that is positioned at the lower end portion of the second side wall portion 21 is referred to as a bottom wall portion 22A, and a portion of the second peripheral wall portion 22 that is positioned at the upper end portion of the second side wall portion 21 is a ceiling. It is called wall part 22B. Further, portions of the second peripheral wall portion 22 that are connected to the bottom wall portion 22A and face the first direction S1 are referred to as a pair of inner wall portions 22C and 22D.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the bottom wall portion 22A and the pair of inner wall portions 22C and 22D in the second peripheral wall portion 22 are in contrast to the bottom wall portion 12A and the pair of outer wall portions 12B and 12C of the first case 10. They are close to or touching each other. Of the pair of inner wall portions 22C and 22D, one inner wall portion 22C is connected to the top wall portion 22B, but the other inner wall portion 22C is not connected to the top wall portion 22B.

This will be described in detail.
A protruding portion 22E is formed on the upper end portion of one inner wall portion 22C so as to protrude outward in the first direction S1 and overlap the upper end edge of one outer wall portion 12B of the first case 10. And this overhang | projection part 22E and the ceiling wall part 22B are connected via the connection wall part 22F.
In addition, these overhang | projection parts 22E and the connection wall part 22F also comprise the 2nd surrounding wall part 22. FIG. In the illustrated example, the connection wall portion 22F is formed in a curved surface shape that curves smoothly as it goes from the overhang portion 22E toward the top wall portion 22B.

At the upper end of the other inner wall portion 22D, an overhanging portion 22G that protrudes outward in the first direction S1 and overlaps with the upper end edge of the other outer wall portion 12C in the first case 10 is formed. The overhanging portion 22G also constitutes the second peripheral wall portion 22. Therefore, as described above, the other inner wall portion 22D and the top wall portion 22B are not connected.
Thereby, among the internal spaces of the container main body 2, the upper internal space (a communication chamber R2 to be described later) is open to the first direction S1 side.

  As described above, since the second case 20 includes the two overhang portions 22E and 22G, the second case 20 is positioned in the vertical direction with respect to the first case 10 by the overhang portions 22E and 22G. ing. Therefore, when combining the first case 10 and the second case 20, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, the second case 20 can be combined with the first case 10 so as to slide from above.

The container body 2 is configured by combining the first case 10 and the second case 20 described above so as to overlap in the second direction S2, but as shown in FIG. A partition wall 30 integrally formed on the second case 20 side is partitioned into two chambers, an accommodation chamber R1 and a communication chamber R2, in the vertical direction.
And the part located below the partition wall 30 among the internal space of the container main body 2 is the accommodation chamber R1, and the part located above the partition wall 30 is the communication chamber R2.

  The partition wall 30 includes a bulging portion 31 that protrudes upward and a flat wall portion 32 that is positioned at substantially the same height as the overhanging portion 22G and that is orthogonal to the container axis O1. The container body 2 is formed to protrude from the second side wall portion 21 of the second case 20 toward the first case 10 so as to cross the inside of the container body 2 in the first direction S1.

The bulging portion 31 is formed in a tapered shape in a longitudinal sectional view by a pair of inclined walls 31a facing each other in the first direction S1. Further, the bulging portion 31 is formed such that the top portion is located above the overhanging portion 22G and the flat wall portion 32 and is disposed at a position away from the container axis O1 in the first direction S1. Yes.
In addition, the lower end part of one inclined wall 31a is connected to the overhanging part 22G, and the lower end part of the other inclined wall 31a is connected to the flat wall part 32.

A passage hole 33 through which the content A passes is formed at the top of the bulging portion 31. The passage hole 33 is formed, for example, in a square shape in plan view. However, the shape of the passage hole 33 is not limited to this case, and may be larger than the diameter of the content A. For example, the shape may be a circular shape in plan view, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or the like. I do not care.
Since the passage hole 33 is formed in this way, the contents A guided to the passage hole 33 by the pair of inclined walls 31 a can be communicated through the passage hole 33 by, for example, inclining or upside down the container body 2. It becomes possible to let it pass to the chamber R2 side.

  Note that the axis passing through the center of the passage hole 33 up and down is referred to as a center axis O2. The central axis O2 is separated from the container axis O1 in the first direction S1. Further, a plurality of step portions 34 for imparting resistance to the contents A moving to the passage hole 33 side along the inclined wall 31a protrude downward on the surface of the pair of inclined walls 31a facing the accommodation chamber R1. It is formed as follows.

  The communication chamber R2 communicates with the accommodation chamber R1 through the passage hole 33. In addition, an extraction hole 36 through which the content A passes and is taken out is formed in the top wall portion 22B of the second case 20. Therefore, the communication chamber R2 communicates with the outside through the extraction hole 36.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the take-out hole 36 is disposed between the central axis O2 and the container axis O1, and is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape in plan view. However, the shape of the extraction hole 36 is not limited to this case, and it may be formed larger than the diameter of the content A, and may be, for example, a circular shape in plan view, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a stopper wall portion 37 is formed in the communication chamber R2 so as to cover the flat wall portion 32 from above.
The stopper wall portion 37 is formed so as to protrude from the second side wall portion 21 of the second case 20 toward the first case 10 side, and is positioned below the top of the bulging portion 31. . The stopper wall portion 37 is formed in a two-stage shape by an upper step portion 37a and a lower step portion 37b and an inclined connection portion 37c that connects the upper step portion 37a and the lower step portion 37b. A projecting wall 37d projecting upward is formed at a connecting portion between the lower step portion 34 and the inclined connecting portion 37c.
Thereby, the stopper wall part 37 has the hollow part 38 defined between the protrusion wall 37d and the inclination connection part 37c.

  The said operation part 3 is mounted | worn with respect to the container main body 2 so that movement is possible in the state arrange | positioned in communication room R2, as shown in FIGS. 1-3. The operation unit 3 includes an operation unit main body 40 in which a connection passage 42 through which the content A passes is formed, and an elastic piece 41 formed integrally with the operation unit main body 40.

The operation portion main body 40 is disposed between the bulging portion 31 and the top wall portion 22B of the partition wall 30, and is rotatably supported by the second case 20 via the rotation shaft portion 43.
The operation unit body 40 is formed with a thickness close to the first side wall portion 11 of the first case 10 and the second side wall portion 21 of the second case 20, and the lower end portion is the bulging portion 31. The upper end portion is formed in a size close to the top wall portion 22B.

The rotating shaft portion 43 is formed so as to protrude from the lower end portion side of the operation portion main body 40 toward the second side wall portion 21 side of the second case 20, and has a circular shape when viewed from the side in the second direction S2. Is formed. The rotation shaft 43 is fitted and supported in a circular recess 44 formed in the second side wall 21.
In the illustrated example, the rotation shaft portion 43 is formed such that the rotation axis M passing through the center of the rotation shaft portion 43 in the second direction S2 is located on the center axis O2 of the passage hole 33. Therefore, the operation unit 3 is rotatable about the rotation axis M in the first direction S1.
In addition, although the case where only one rotating shaft part 43 is formed is given as an example, two may be formed so as to protrude toward the first side wall part 11 and the second side wall part 21, respectively.

The connection passage 42 is formed so as to vertically penetrate the operation unit main body 40 along the central axis O2. The connection passage 42 is formed in, for example, a quadrangular shape in plan view. The lower opening that opens to the bulging portion 31 side is an inlet portion, and the upper opening that opens to the top wall portion 22B side. The part is the exit part.
In addition, the shape of the connection channel | path 42 is not limited to this case, What is necessary is just to be formed larger than the diameter of the content A, for example, planar view circular shape, elliptical shape, and polygonal shape may be sufficient. Absent.

  When the connection passage 42 is arranged coaxially with respect to the central axis O2 (see FIG. 1), the inlet portion faces the passage hole 33 formed in the bulging portion 31, and passes through the passage hole 33. The entry of the content A into the connecting passage 42 is allowed. Moreover, the exit part of the connection channel | path 42 is obstruct | occluded by the top wall part 22B, and the movement of the content A through the exit part is controlled. A position where the connection passage 42 is in such a state is defined as a measurement position P1.

  In addition, when the operation unit 3 rotates about the rotation axis M from the measurement position P1 and the outlet portion faces the extraction hole 36, the contents A in the connection passage 42 through the extraction hole 36 can be extracted. (See FIG. 6). A position where the connection passage 42 is in such a state is taken out as a position P2.

Therefore, the operation unit 3 is configured to reciprocate between the measurement position P1 shown in FIG. 1 and the take-out position P2 shown in FIG. 6 by rotating around the rotation axis M.
Note that an operation protrusion 46 is formed on the upper end portion side of the operation portion main body 40 so as to protrude outward in the first direction S1 and exposed to the outside of the container main body 2. Thereby, for example, the operation unit 3 can be rotated by pushing the operation unit 3 using a fingertip while holding the container body 2.

In addition, a positioning projection 47 is formed on the lower end side of the operation unit main body 40 so as to protrude obliquely outward and downward in the first direction S1 and contact the inclined wall 31a of the bulging portion 31 from above. Thereby, the rotation amount of the operation unit 3 can be restricted, and the operation unit 3 can be positioned at the measurement position P1.
Further, a restriction convex portion 48 protruding toward the operation portion 3 is formed on the second side wall portion 21 of the second case 20 in which the concave portion 44 is formed. The restricting convex portion 48 is disposed so as to come into contact with the side surface of the operation portion main body 40 when the operation portion 3 moves to the take-out position P2. Thereby, the rotation amount of the operation unit 3 can be restricted, and the operation unit 3 can be taken out and positioned at the extraction position P2.

The elastic piece 41 is a leaf spring extending in a band shape from the base end portion 41 a toward the tip end portion 41 b, and the base end portion 41 a is connected to the upper end portion side of the operation unit main body 40.
Specifically, the base end portion 41 a of the elastic piece 41 is connected to a portion of the upper end portion of the operation unit main body 40 that is located on the opposite side of the first direction S <b> 1 from the operation projection 46 across the connection passage 42. ing. The distal end portion 41 b of the elastic piece 41 is fitted into a recessed portion 38 formed in the stopper wall portion 37. At this time, the elastic piece 41 is elastically deformed in advance so as to be curved in an arc shape from the base end portion 41a toward the tip end portion 41b, and the operation portion main body 40 is moved to the measuring position by using the elastic force due to this elastic deformation. Pressing toward the P1 side.

  That is, the operation unit 3 is elastically displaced between the measuring position P1 and the take-out position P2 by the elastic piece 41, and naturally receives the elastic force from the elastic piece 41 to the measuring position P1. It is configured to return.

  By the way, the content A that has entered the connection passage 42 is moved between the opening end of the inlet portion and the opening end of the passage hole 33 in the connection passage 42 by the operation unit 3 rotating from the measuring position P1 to the removal position P2. And is subjected to an external force compressed in the radial direction. By this external force, the contents A are gradually broken.

(Use of measuring container)
Next, the operation of the weighing container 1 configured as described above will be described.
In this case, the container body 2 in the upright posture state shown in FIG. 1 is accommodated in the accommodation chamber R1 as shown in FIG. One of the contents A can be guided to the passage hole 33, and the contents A can enter the connection passage 42 of the operation unit 3 through the passage hole 33 and the inlet portion.

  At this time, since the operation unit 3 is located at the measuring position P1 and the outlet portion of the connection passage 42 is blocked by the top wall portion 22B, the content A that has entered the connection passage 42 is in the connection passage 42. There is no further movement from the exit. In the case shown in FIG. 5, since the content A is longer than the length of the connection passage 42, a part of the content A enters the connection passage 42, and the remaining portion protrudes into the storage chamber R1. .

Note that the container body 2 does not necessarily have to be in an inverted posture. For example, the contents A may enter the connection passage 42 by tilting the container body 2.
In addition, since the plurality of step portions 34 are formed on the pair of inclined walls 31 a in the partition wall 30, the contents A other than the contents A that have passed through the passage hole 33 gather near the passage hole 33 side. Can be suppressed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the plurality of contents A from being densely packed around the passage hole 33 and the contents A from becoming difficult to pass through the passage hole 33 due to the influence (friction resistance, etc.) due to the denseness.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the operation unit 3 is pushed into the container body 2 via the operation protrusion 46, the operation unit 3 is rotated around the rotation axis M, and the operation unit 3 is removed from the measuring position P <b> 1. Move to P2. At this time, the operation unit 3 is pushed and rotated by a force that resists the elastic force of the elastic piece 41. As a result, the elastic piece 41 is further elastically deformed and bent. At this time, since the distal end portion 41b of the elastic piece 41 is located in the recessed portion 38, the distal end portion 41b continues to stay in the same position without moving. Therefore, the elastic piece 41 can be elastically deformed smoothly.

Then, in the process of rotating the operation unit 3 from the measuring position P1 toward the take-out position P2, the content that has entered the connection passage 42 between the opening end of the inlet portion and the opening end of the passage hole 33 in the connection passage 42. An external force that sandwiches the object A and compresses in the radial direction can be applied.
Thus, for example, in the case of soft contents, the contents A can be finally broken at the inlet portion of the connection passage 42 while being gradually deformed so as to be bent. On the other hand, for example, in the case of hard contents, the contents A can be cleaved (broken) so as to be divided into two at the inlet portion of the connection passage 42 and can be subdivided.
Thus, the content A can be subdivided regardless of the hardness of the content A, and the length of the subdivided content A can be defined as the length of the connection passage 42. Then, at the take-out position P <b> 2, the subdivided contents A can be taken out from the connection passage 42 through the outlet portion and the take-out hole 36.

In addition, since the operation part 3 is positioned by the regulation convex part 48 in the taking-out position P2, the exit part of the connection channel | path 42 and the taking-out hole 36 can be reliably made to oppose. Therefore, the contents A can be taken out without being caught.
When the operation unit 3 is located at the take-out position P2, a part of the opening end of the inlet portion of the connection passage 42 closes a part of the passage hole 33, and in addition to the accommodation chamber R1 side. The longitudinal direction of the remaining contents A (in the direction of the central axis O2 of the passage hole 33) and the passage direction of the connection passage 42 are different and are not located on the same axis. Therefore, these things prevent the contents A in the storage chamber R1 from passing through the connection passage 42 and the extraction hole 36 and jumping out to the outside.

  Furthermore, even if the container body 2 is returned to the upright posture while the operation portion 3 is located at the take-out position P2, as described above, the passage direction of the connection passage 42 is in the direction of the central axis O2 of the passage hole 33. In addition, since a part of the opening end of the passage hole 33 blocks a part of the inlet portion of the connection passage 42, the subdivided contents A are moved from the inside of the connection passage 42 to the accommodation chamber R1 side. There will be no return.

  When the length of the content A that has entered the connection passage 42 is shorter than the connection passage 42, the content A is taken out without being broken. Therefore, in this case, the content A defined to be equal to or shorter than the length of the connection passage 42 can be obtained.

  As described above, according to the measuring container 1 of the present embodiment, even if a plurality of contents A are accommodated in the accommodation chamber R1, the lengths defined for each of the contents A (of the connection passage 42). It can be easily taken out while being subdivided into (length) and below (measuring).

  In addition, after the content A subdivided by breakage is taken out and the pressing of the fingertip on the operation portion 3 is released, the operation portion 3 receives the elastic force from the elastic piece 41 and rotates toward the measuring position P1. Thereby, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.5, the operation part 3 can be returned naturally to the measurement position P1. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of manually returning the operation unit 3 to the measuring position P1, and the operability can be improved.

  Since the operation portion 3 is positioned at the measurement position P1 by the positioning protrusion 47, the inlet portion of the connection passage 42 and the passage hole 33 can be reliably opposed to each other. Therefore, the new contents A can enter the connection passage 42 without being caught.

  Further, since the rotation axis M is located on the central axis O2 of the passage hole 33, the content A that has entered the connection passage 42 and the rotation axis M can be crossed. Therefore, when the operation unit 3 is rotated and moved to the take-out position P2, it is easy to efficiently transmit the external force necessary for breaking to the contents A efficiently. Therefore, the operation unit 3 can be operated with a slight force, and the operability can be improved.

  The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the operation unit main body 40 and the elastic piece 41 are integrally formed, and the operation unit 3 is returned to the measuring position P1 using the elastic force of the elastic piece 41. It is not essential and may not be provided. In this case, the operation unit 3 may be manually returned to the restriction position.
Further, instead of the elastic piece 41, for example, an elastic body such as a coil spring or rubber is disposed in the communication chamber R 2 separately from the operation unit 3, and the elastic force toward the measuring position P 1 is applied to the operation unit 3. It may be given.

In the above embodiment, the operation unit 3 is rotated around the rotation axis M to move the operation unit 3 between the measurement position P1 and the take-out position P2. However, the operation unit 3 is limited to movement by rotation. It is not a thing. For example, the operation unit 3 may be slidably disposed in the first direction S1 in the communication chamber R2 to move between the measurement position P1 and the take-out position P2. Even in this case, the same effect can be achieved.
However, according to the above-described embodiment, it is not necessary to push the entire operation unit 3 as in the case of slide movement, and the operation unit 3 can be operated with a simple operation that only rotates around the rotation axis M. Therefore, a one-touch operation with a fingertip is possible, and operability can be further improved, which is preferable.
