The rice discharging device 2 is a rice cooker in which the rice to be cooked by each rice cooker 3 and the water necessary for the rice are stored in a rectangular pot frame 5 assigned to each rice cooker 3 substantially entirely. It is distributed and supplied to the shuttle 9 (see FIGS. 2 and 6 described later).
The rice is extracted by suction from an external rice storage tank 28 and sent to a metering / washing device 27 through a rice feeding hose 29. The weighed and washed rice is added from the rice discharge port 6 of the rice discharge device 2 to a rice cooker 9 (see FIGS. 2 and 6 described later) in a rice cooker frame 5 disposed below the rice discharge port 6. It is supplied with falling water. In addition, the rice storage tank and the metering / washing device are
May be incorporated as a part of.

The rice discharging device 2 is provided with a comprehensive control panel 7 for comprehensively and automatically controlling movement of the pot frame 5, weighing of rice, washing of rice, amount of cooked rice, cooking time, and the like. The user can control these operations through the operation of the general control panel 7. Also, the user
These can also be controlled by manual operation independently for each individual rice cooker through an individual control panel 8 provided for each rice cooker 3. Therefore, according to the system of the present invention, each of the three-dimensional rice cookers 4, 4 'or the individual rice cookers 3 included in each of the three-dimensional rice cookers 4, 4' can be fully automatically operated, and each rice cooker can be individually operated. For example, different amounts of rice and different types of rice can be cooked independently for each vessel 3. Therefore, according to this rice cooking system, for example, it is possible to take appropriate measures even in the case of sudden jump-in rice cooking and a failure of the moving means.

The rice discharging device 2 is provided with elevating and lowering means for moving the rice cooker frame 5 up and down below the rice discharging port 6 of the rice discharging device 2. Furthermore, since the pot frame 5 is horizontally moved between the rice discharging device side (2) and the three-dimensional rice cooker side (4), the horizontal movement between the rice discharging device side (2) and the three-dimensional rice cooking device side (4) is performed. Moving means are also provided. FIG. 1 particularly shows a state after the uppermost pot frame 5 of the right three-dimensional rice cooker 4 is horizontally moved to the rice discharging device side (2) by the left and right horizontal moving means. In the present invention, the rice cooker 9 (see FIGS. 2 and 6 described later) itself is not moved by the lifting / lowering means or the horizontal moving means, but the rice cooker 9 is entirely moved by the cooker frame 5.
It is made to move in the state accommodated in. As a result, the rice cooker can be handled very easily.

The elevating means includes a motor (not shown), an elevating platform 10 which is elevated by the motor, a ball screw 30 for transmitting the driving force from the motor to the elevating platform 10,
A guide support rod 11 for guiding and supporting the lift 10 is included. The elevating table 10 can be moved up and down along the guide support rods 11 to raise and lower the shuttle frame 5 placed thereon.

Although not particularly shown, as described above, the three-dimensional rice cooker 4 is separated from the rice discharging device 2 in two directions with a 90-degree separation from each other, or with a 90-degree separation from each other. When provided in three directions, the left and right horizontal moving means can be turned 90 degrees to be used as front and rear horizontal moving means so that the rice cookers from both three-dimensional rice cookers 4 can also be moved. A turning device (not shown) is provided.

By using the lifting / lowering means and the left / right horizontal moving means 12 in combination, in the system of the present invention,
Can be freely moved between the rice cooker side (3) and the rice discharging device side (2) of each of the three-dimensional rice cookers 4, 4 ′. Thereby, the operator can freely select the position for putting in and taking out the rice cooker 9 and can easily put in and take out the rice cooker 9 after or before cooking rice.
Furthermore, in this case, after the rice is cooked, the rice cooker 9 can be taken out from the rice discharging device side, which is relatively shielded from the heat, instead of from the rice cooker side having the heat, thereby improving the safety of work. You can also. However, it is of course possible to take it out from the rice cooker side as in the conventional case.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show the three-dimensional rice cooking system 1 shown in FIG.
1 shows a schematic partial perspective view of FIG. For simplification of the drawings, in these figures, only the right-side three-dimensional rice cooker 4 is shown with the general control panel 7 (see FIG. 1) removed.

As is apparent from these figures, the elevator 1
0 is moved to the height position of the rice cooker 3 and the guide rails 13 of the elevating table 10 of the rice discharge device 2 and the guide rails 14 provided on the rice cookers 3 at the respective stages are connected to each other. )
And a cooker frame 5 between each cooker side (3) of each three-dimensional cooker.
Can be freely moved horizontally. These elevators 1
0 guide rail 13 and the guide rail 14 of each rice cooker 3
It can be easily communicated by moving the elevator 10 up and down. In addition, in order to make horizontal movement of the hook frame 5 easy,
Wheels 38 (shown in FIG. 5 and the like described below) are provided on the bottom surface of the shuttle frame 5.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the middle hook frame 5 is horizontally moved to the rice discharging device side (2) through the guide rails 13 and 14, and FIG. 3 particularly shows all the hook frames. 5 is located on the three-dimensional rice cooker side (4), and the upper and middle pot frames 5
The rice cooker 9 is taken out from a and 5b, and the rice cooker 9 is left only in the lower cooker frame 5c.

As is apparent from these figures, each hook frame 5
Each has an opening / closing door 16 having a grip 15. These opening and closing doors 16 can be freely opened and closed toward the front side when located on either the rice discharging device side (2) or the three-dimensional rice cooker side (3). Can be taken out. In addition, three-dimensional rice cooker 4
A cooker 17 is provided inside each of the rice cookers 3, and an individual control panel 8 is provided on an outer wall thereof. Therefore, it is possible to cook rice by each rice cooker 3 respectively.

Next, the left and right horizontal moving means will be described in detail with reference to FIG. This figure is a schematic partial perspective view of a certain stage (upper, middle, or lower) on the back side of the rice discharging device.

The main part of the left and right horizontal moving means 12 is attached to the rice discharging device, in particular, to the back side surface of the elevating platform 10. The left and right horizontal moving means 12 includes a reversible motor 18 that can rotate to either the left or right side, and a chain 19 that is rotated by the reversible motor 18.
And a hook 20 attached to the chain 19,
A rectangular tubular hook box 21 or the like, which is provided at the center-side end of the hook frames 5 and 5 ′ corresponding to the hooks 20 and can be engaged with the hook box 20, is included.

An operation method for moving the pot frame 5 on the left side of FIG. 4 to the rice discharging device side by using the left and right horizontal moving means 12 will be described below with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 shows, in chronological order, the position of the hook 20 associated with the rotation of the chain 19 of the horizontal moving means 12 due to the rotation of the motor and the position of the shuttle frame 5 associated with the movement of the hook 20. In this figure, the hook box 21 is shown in a cross section in order to clarify the engagement between the hook 20 and the hook box 21.

When the shuttle frame 5 is moved to the rice discharging device, the reversible motor 18 (see FIG. 4) is rotated clockwise. With the rotation of the reversible motor, as shown in FIG. 5A, the chain 19 rotates in the direction of A), and the hook 20 also moves in this direction. Hook 20
Is moved, the hook 20 fits inside the hook box 21 and the hook box 2 as shown in FIG.
1 is in contact with the inner wall. Hereinafter, as shown in FIG.
Through the contact between the hook 20 and the hook box 21, the hook frame 5 is moved to the right side, that is, to the rice discharging device side (2) together with the movement of the hook 20. By stopping the rotation of the motor when the shuttle frame 5 has just arrived at the rice discharging device 2, the shuttle frame 5 is stopped.
Stops at a predetermined position. At this time, since the hook 20 is in the state of being housed in the hook box 21, the hook frame 5
This stop position is maintained even when an external force acts on the motor.

Contrary to the above, in order to move the pot frame 5 moved to the rice discharging device side (2) to the three-dimensional rice cooker side (4), the reversible motor is reversed and rotated counterclockwise. I just need. Thus, the pot frame 5 on the rice discharging device side (2) can be moved to the three-dimensional rice cooker side (4), that is, the left side in FIG. In this case, as can be inferred from FIG. 5B), in this case, the hook frame 5 is naturally released from contact with the hook 20 through the movement of the hook 20 and is separated. It can be stopped in a natural state, rather than a mechanical stop accompanied by vibration as when stopped.

Further, in the same manner as above, the shuttle frame 5 'on the right side in FIG. 4 can be moved to the rice discharging device side (2) by rotating the motor 18 counterclockwise from above. Also, by rotating the motor 18 clockwise,
That is, it can be moved to the three-dimensional rice cooker side (4). The hook 20 is provided so that any of the shuttle frames 5, 5 'in FIG. 6 can be moved to the rice discharging device side (2).
Usually, it stops near the lower center of the chain 19 (not shown).

Finally, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, a description will be given of an upper cover automatic dropping mechanism for automatically attaching the upper cover to the rice cooker.

FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged schematic view showing the vicinity of the lower stage of the three-dimensional rice cooker 4 on the right side of FIG.
It should be noted that the three-dimensional rice cooker 4 ′ on the left side and the upper and middle stages 5 can be considered in exactly the same manner.

When cooking rice, first, the upper lid 22 of the rice cooker 9 is set in advance on the upper lid automatic dropping mechanism 23 provided on the upper side of the rice cooker 3. The set upper lid 22 is naturally dropped into the rice cooker 9 before the rice cooking is started by the lid automatic dropping mechanism 23 described below, and is attached thereto.

FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing the upper lid automatic dropping mechanism 23 together with the upper lid. Here, FIG. 7A shows a state in which the upper lid 22 is set on the upper lid automatic dropping mechanism 23, while FIG. 7B shows a state in which the upper lid 22 is dropped by the upper lid automatic dropping mechanism 23. Each is shown.

As shown in these figures, the upper lid automatic dropping mechanism 23 has a motor 24, a rotating shaft 25 rotated by the motor 24, and a substantially L-shaped cross section capable of holding or dropping the upper lid 22. It consists of a rotation support bar 26.
As is clear from FIG. 7A, when the upper cover 22 is set, the upper cover 22 is provided with two rotating support rods 2 at two places on the periphery thereof.
6 supported. At this time, the upper lid 22 is merely placed on one inner wall 34 of the L-shaped cross section of the rotation support rod 26, but is not fixed. After checking that the rice cooker frame 5 containing the rice cooker has been placed in the rice cooker 3, the motor 24 is driven as shown in FIG.
The rotation shaft 25 rotates. By the rotation of the rotating shaft 25,
The rotation support rods 26 that are in contact with the rotation shaft 25 rotate in the directions of b), whereby the upper lid 22 placed on the rotation support rod 26 falls naturally, and the rice cooker 9 disposed on the lower side. Cover the lid. As a result, when the rice cooker is taken out after the rice is cooked, the cooker can be taken out with the upper lid 22 attached without any human hand.

As described above, the structure of the system is greatly simplified by attaching the upper lid by the natural falling action. Further, with such a structure, it is not necessary to make the upper lid 22 a special structure. All that is required is that the dimensions of the top lid 22 be such that they can be set in the top lid drop-off mechanism. Although not particularly shown, for example, if the size of the upper lid 22 is smaller than that in the illustrated embodiment, the interval between them may be adjusted by sliding the rotation support rods. Such an interval adjustment can also be achieved with a simple structure.

Although not particularly shown, each rice cooker 3 is provided with a lid 22, a rice cooker 9, or a sensor for checking the presence or absence of the cooker frame 5. If any of these checks reveals that the rice is missing, the rice cooking operation is interrupted, and therefore the top lid 22 does not fall.

Next, a three-dimensional rice cooking system according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is an improvement of the first embodiment, will be described with reference to FIGS.

Here, before explaining the second embodiment,
I would like to clarify the problem in the first embodiment. The problem in the first embodiment is that the number of cooked rice that can be performed by this system is limited.

As described above, the raising and lowering means of the three-dimensional rice cooking system according to the first embodiment is configured to move the kettle frame 5 up and down below the rice discharging port 6 of the rice discharging device 2. . Furthermore, in this configuration, the moving range of the elevator 10 is limited by the rice discharge port 6 at the upper part of the elevator. By the way, in order to make large-scale rice cooking possible, increasing the number of rice cookers in a three-dimensional rice cooker,
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the height of the three-dimensional rice cooker. In this case, the height of the rice cooker 9 that can be moved up and down by the elevating means according to the height of the three-dimensional rice cooker is required. Also need to be higher. However, in the configuration according to the above-described first embodiment, this requirement cannot be satisfied because the vertical movement range of the lifting platform 10 is limited by the height of the rice discharge port 6.

Further, since the rice discharging device 2, particularly the vicinity of the rice discharging port 6, requires daily cleaning work, it is preferable to keep the rice discharging device at a height that can be easily reached by humans. In the configuration according to the embodiment, the position of the rice discharge port also rises with an increase in the number of rice cookers in the three-dimensional rice cooker.
The increase in the number of stages is naturally restricted.

The three-dimensional rice cooking system according to the second embodiment has been developed for solving these problems. Hereinafter, a system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 8 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, and more specifically, a schematic partial perspective view of a three-dimensional rice cooking system according to the second embodiment.

As is clear from this figure, this three-dimensional rice cooking system 1A includes a rice discharging device 2A which can correspond to the rice discharging device (2) of the first embodiment, and a three-dimensional rice cooking device of the first embodiment. In addition to the three-dimensional rice cooker 4A that can correspond to (4), a kettle conveying device 50A that is a new device is further provided.

The shuttle conveying device 50A includes a member corresponding to the lifting / lowering means of the first embodiment, that is, a motor (not shown) and a lifting table 10 which is raised and lowered by the motor.
A, a ball screw 30A for transmitting the driving force from the motor to the lift 10A, and a guide support rod 11A for guiding the lift 10A are all included. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the members that can correspond to the rice discharging device 2 of the first embodiment, that is, the rice discharging device 2A do not include (need not be included in) the moving means.

The kettle conveying device 50A is provided adjacent to both the rice discharging device 2A and the three-dimensional rice cooking device 4A. The specific positional relationship is clarified in FIG. That is, the rice discharging device 2A is provided on the front of the kettle conveying device 50A, and the three-dimensional rice cooker 4A is provided on the right side of the kettle conveying device 50A in two directions. In this case, from the rice discharging device 2A, it can be said that the three-dimensional rice cooker 4A is disposed diagonally behind (adjacent to) the rice discharging device 2A. Although not particularly shown, instead of providing the three-dimensional rice cooker on the right side of the kettle conveying device 50A, it may be provided on the left side thereof, or
It can also be provided on both sides.

In particular, it should be noted that the shuttle conveying device 50A is formed separately from the rice discharging device in a portion other than below the rice discharging port 6A of the rice discharging device. In the configuration according to the second embodiment, there is no rice discharge port in the upper part of the shuttle conveying device 50A. Therefore, unlike the first embodiment, the height of the shuttle conveying device 50A is not limited by the height of the rice discharge port 6A. As a result, the shuttle transfer device 50A
Can be configured so that the rice cooker 9 can be moved up and down to a position higher than the rice discharging port 6A of the rice discharging device. Also, in response to this, increasing the number of stages of the rice cooker 5A of the three-dimensional rice cooker 4A, more specifically,
Rice cooker 3A at a position higher than rice discharge port 6A of rice discharge device 2A
-2 can be formed.

According to the configuration of the second embodiment, the number of stages of the rice cooker 3A of the three-dimensional rice cooker 2A is not limited by the height of the rice discharge port 6A. In addition, the rice discharge port 6A can be provided at a position where any work is easy. In this case, the rice discharging table 31A provided below the rice discharging port 6A does not need to be moved up and down as in the elevator according to the first embodiment. Therefore, similarly to the rice discharge port 6A, the rice discharge table 31A can also be fixedly provided at a predetermined position where any work is easy.

Next, referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the procedure for moving the pot frame (rice cooker) will be described. FIG. 9 is a schematic view of the rice discharging device 2A and the shuttle conveying device 50A near the rice discharging port 6A. The three-dimensional rice cooker is omitted here for simplification of the drawing.

As an example, a procedure for moving a pot frame (rice cooker) from the three-dimensional rice cooker side (4A) to the rice discharging apparatus side (2A) via the pot transfer device 50A will be described. First, by moving the elevating table 10A up and down, the front-rear moving table 32A placed on the elevating table 10A is moved to the height of the pot frame 5-1 to be taken out (for example, in the three-dimensional rice cooker 4A shown in FIG. 8). (2nd position from the bottom).

After the elevating platform 10A has reached a predetermined height, the pot frame 5A-1 is moved from the three-dimensional rice cooker side (4A) to the pot using the left and right horizontal moving means (12) described in the first embodiment. It is moved horizontally (from left to right) to the transfer device side (50A). At this time, the wheel frame 5A-1 is mounted on the guide rail 14 in the rice cooker 3A-1 by the wheels 38A provided on the bottom surface of the water frame 5A-1.
(FIG. 8) and since it is moved in such a manner as to be guided along the left and right guide rails 33A on the front-rear movement table 32A, a large displacement does not occur during this movement.

Next, the longitudinal table 32A on which the shuttle frame 5A-1 is placed is moved up and down by the elevating table 10A.
Adjust to the height of the rice discharge table 31A. Rice discharge table 3
When the height of the lifting table 1A and the height of the lifting platform 10A become the same, with the shuttle frame 5A-1 placed on the longitudinal table 32A, the longitudinal table 32A is moved to the ball screw 35A.
Then, the rice is horizontally moved to the rice discharging device side (2A), that is, the front side. At this time, the front and rear moving table 32 is, similarly to the above, a wheel 39A provided on the bottom of the front and rear moving table 32.
Is moved along the front and rear guide rails 41A on the elevating platform 10A and the front and rear guide rails 36A on the rice discharging table 31A, so that there is no large displacement during this movement. .

After the pot frame 5A-1 is moved to a predetermined position of the rice discharging device 2A, rice is dropped and supplied from the rice discharging port 6A to the rice cooker 9 accommodated in the pot frame 5A-1. Rice cooker 9 after receiving rice removal
After that, in a state of being stored in the shuttle frame 5A-1,
The rice is returned to the original position of the rice cooker 3-1 (FIG. 8) in the reverse manner, and rice is cooked.

As described above, in the second embodiment,
In particular, it is necessary to move the rice cooker 9 in a complicated manner, but in the present invention, since the rice cooker 9 is moved while being stored in the cooker frame 5A, even in such a case,
Work can be performed reliably and easily.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a rice cooking system capable of simultaneously cooking a large amount of rice in a small space. In addition, the rice cooker can be taken out more safely by taking out the rice cooker as the rice discharging device side, and the operator can freely select the take-out position. Further, the upper lid of the rice cooker can be automatically attached to the rice cooker with a very simple structure. Furthermore, since the entire rice cooker can be moved in a state where the rice cooker is put in the cooker frame, the handling is easy.
