Internal substance supplier and method of producing molded product

An internal substance supplier configured to supply an internal substance to be buried in a molded product, to a die bore in a table of a compression molding machine configured to fill the die bore with a powdery material and compress the powdery material to obtain the molded product, the internal substance supplier comprising:

• a first rotator configured to eject the internal substance conveyed by a carrier tape, suck the internal substance to a lower surface of the first rotator, and convey the internal substance to a first position;
• a second rotator configured to receive the internal substance from the first rotator at the first position, suck the internal substance to an upper surface of the second rotator, and convey the internal substance to a second position;
• a push transfer member disposed at a third rotator and configured to push to transfer the internal substance on the upper surface of the second rotator at the second position in a direction different from a rotation direction of the second rotator;
• and
• a scraping member disposed above the second rotator and configured to scrape the internal substance on the upper surface of the second rotator at the second position,
• wherein the scraping member comprising a side surface that is an upright partial cylindrical surface having a partial arc shape in a planar view along a rotary axis of the third rotator or in a vertical direction and having an axis and a diameter substantially equal to an inner circumferential side surface of a recessed groove of gliding member.

An internal substance supplier configured to supply an internal substance to be buried in a molded product into a die bore in a table of a compression molding machine configured to fill the die bore with a powdery material and compress the powdery material to obtain the molded product, the internal substance supplier comprising:

• a conveying mechanism including a conveying member configured to capture and convey the internal substance;
• and
• a supply mechanism including a scraping member disposed to cross a conveyance route of the internal substance conveyed by the conveying member in the conveying mechanism and configured to collide with the internal substance conveyed by the conveying member, and a push transfer member including a projection configured to come into contact with the internal substance colliding with the scraping member to transfer the internal substance,
• wherein the scraping member comprising a side surface that is an upright partial cylindrical surface having a partial arc shape in a planar view along a rotary axis of a supply disc or in a vertical direction and having an axis and a diameter substantially equal to an inner circumferential side surface of a recessed groove of a gliding member.
