Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、大豆等の穀粒を選別孔を備えた粒径選別部及びベルト面を転動させながら整粒と屑粒とに選別する穀粒選別施設に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、選別ベルトを2面傾斜させて左右傾斜の傾斜低位側であって前後傾斜の高位側に被選別大豆を供給し、低い前側には転動する整粒を取出し、左右傾斜の高位側から扁平粒や欠粒などの屑粒を取出す形態の所謂ベルト選別機が公知である(特許文献1)。また、上記整粒は、回転選別筒形態の粒径選別機に供給され粒径選別がなされて、適宜に回収される。
【0003】
【特許文献1】実開平02−108781号公報
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが上記特許文献1の構成によると、粒径選別部における選別処理は、外周に多数のスリット状の選別孔を明けた長さの長い選別筒を横向きに支持構成し、一定方向に回転駆動することにより、供給される大豆粒が上記選別孔から漏下するものとそうでないものとに分離する構成である。また、選別筒内には層状を呈して選別孔に係止された大豆はその表面が損傷を受け易く、欠け粒の原因となっている。このため、ベルト選別機で精度良く整粒を取出し得ても、後の粒径選別処理によって損傷粒を発生させる結果、整粒中に混在して製品価値を損ねる。
【0005】
また、大豆の損傷は機材から機材への搬送途中で行なわれる場合もある。従って、大豆自体に比較的負荷のかかる搬送形態、例えば昇降機による搬送等は避ける方がよい。
更に、自主検定装置によって付加価値の高い粒径の含有状況を確認すべくサンプリングする構成とするが、粒径の分布状況の把握に止まり、主ラインの粒径選別の精度についての判断までは行なえず、なお改善が求められている。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明は次のような技術的手段を講じた。
即ち、請求項1に記載の発明は、選別孔を形成した回転選別筒によって大豆等穀粒を粒径選別する粒径選別部と、一定方向に移行するベルトを傾斜状に設け当該傾斜低位側から供給される大豆等の穀粒を傾斜高位に移送して回収される屑粒と傾斜低位側から回収される整粒とに選別するベルト選別部とを設け、上記粒径選別部で選別区分けした穀粒毎に複数のベルト選別部に供給して選別処理することを特徴とする穀粒選別施設の構成とする。
【0007】
これによって、被選別対象の大豆等穀粒は先ず粒径選別部に至る。ここで、回転選別筒に形成する選別孔を漏下する小径穀粒と漏下しない大径穀粒等のように所定粒径区分に仕分けられ、この仕分け区分毎に後段のベルト選別部に供給される。このベルト選別部では、ベルト回転に沿って傾斜高位側から回収される屑粒と傾斜低位側から回収される整粒とに選別される。
【0008】
また請求項2に記載の発明は、上記において、複数階の施設建屋のうち、上部階には粒径選別部を配置し、下位側の階にはベルト選別部を配置してなる。したがって、前段に選別処理される粒径選別部が建屋の上の階にあって、後段で選別処理するベルト選別部が下の階にあるから、粒径選別部からベルト選別部への供給は自然流下を主体とするものとなる。
【0009】
請求項3に記載の発明は、選別孔を形成した回転選別筒によって大豆等穀粒を粒径選別する粒径選別部と、一定方向に移行するベルトを傾斜状に設け当該傾斜低位側から供給される大豆等の穀粒を傾斜高位に移送して回収される屑粒と傾斜低位側から回収される整粒とに選別するベルト選別部とを設け、上記粒径選別部で選別区分けした穀粒毎に複数のベルト選別部に供給して選別処理して得る小径・大径整粒を区分して製品タンクに取り出すよう構成し、この製品タンクへの小径・大径整粒の排出搬送装置の搬送途中に自主検定装置へのサンプル取出し部を構成してなる穀粒選別施設の構成とする。
【0010】
これによって、粒径区分毎にベルト選別機で整粒と屑粒とに分離選別し、所定粒径別に製品タンクに搬送する過程でサンプリングし、該サンプル粒は粒径区分毎に自主検定装置に供給される。
【0011】
【発明の効果】
請求項1に係る発明は、被選別対象の大豆等穀粒は先ず粒径選別部に至り、所定粒径区分に仕分けられ、この仕分け区分毎にベルト選別機で整粒と屑粒とに選別されるものであるから、粒径選別部によって損傷を受けた穀粒は、ベルト選別部から損傷粒として整粒からは分離されて回収でき、整粒中への混在を少なくする。
【0012】
また、請求項2に記載の発明によると、前段に選別処理される粒径選別部が建屋の上の階にあって、後段で選別処理するベルト選別部が下の階にあるから、粒径選別部からベルト選別部への供給は自然流下を主体とするから穀損傷を少なくする。
【0013】
請求項3に係る発明は、粒径区分毎にベルト選別機で整粒と屑粒とに分離選別し、所定粒径別に製品タンクに搬送する過程でサンプリングし、該サンプル粒は粒径区分毎に自主検定装置に供給されるから、粒径選別部で選別区分された状態を継続し得るから、付加価値の高い粒径区分の占有割合のほか、当該粒径選別による選別区分の当否、選別機の調整の当否等についても判定できるから、選別精度向上に寄与できる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の一実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。
図1の選別施設は、適宜に乾燥された大豆の選別施設であって、荷受け部1、粗選部2、粒径選別部3、ベルト選別部4、製品タンク部5、出荷部6からなる。
【0015】
荷受け部1は、荷受け昇降機7と複数の原料タンク8a〜8dによって構成され、該昇降機7の原料投入ホッパ9にはダンプ車両10からの大豆投入を受入れる構成である。
粗選部2は比重選別形態や篩選別形態の複数の機材からなり、搬送上手側より直列状に設けられ種類分けしてダスト類を除去された大豆は次段の粒径選別部3に供給され、該ダスト類は夾雑物回収タンク群11に分離回収される構成である。前記原料タンク8a〜8dから高い昇降機24を経て揚上される大豆は粗選流調タンク12を経由して風力選別機13が設けられ搬送途中にて分離した大豆の皮等軽比重の夾雑物を分離除去する。14は篩選別機で、大豆よりも径大の茎類等の夾雑物を除去する構成である。該篩選別機14を経た大豆は、石抜機15、比重選別機16を経由すべく構成し、大豆粒径に近い石や夾雑物が除去される。
【0016】
上記夾雑物回収タンク群11は、皮類等極めて軽い夾雑物を回収するハスクタンク11a、皮類よりもやや重いが大豆よりも軽い比重の夾雑物を回収する第1のダストタンク11b、大豆粒径よりも大きい夾雑物を回収する第2のダストタンク11c、大豆の半割れを回収する半割れ回収タンク11d、及び後記ベルト選別部からの屑粒を回収するベルト選別回収タンク11eを備えている。風力選別部12からの軽比重の夾雑物は軽重によってダストタンク11aまたはダストタンク11bへ排出されるよう構成される。篩選別機13から3段階に仕分けら夾雑物は荒ごみを別途排出するほか、第2のダストタンク11c、半割れ回収タンク11dに排出される構成である。
【0017】
比重選別機16を経由して各種の夾雑物を除去された大豆は昇降機17によって粒径選別部3に供給される。この粒径選別部3は、同じ目合いのスリット孔を形成した回転選別筒18を6筒に構成する第1粒径選別部3aと、該選別筒18に対して目合いの大きいスリット孔を形成した回転選別筒19を4筒に構成する第2粒径選別部3bとからなり、これらを接続昇降機20を介して直列的に接続してなる。従って、供給される大豆は、第1粒径選別部3aのスリット状選別孔を漏下する小径粒と、第1粒径選別部3aの回転選別筒18の終端部から排出され第2粒径選別部3bに供給され、この第2粒径選別部3bの回転選別筒19のスリット状選別孔から漏下する中径粒と該回転選別筒19の排出部から排出される大径粒との都合3区分される構成である。
【0018】
なお、第1粒径選別部3aと第2粒径選別部3bとは、いずれも複数の回転選別筒18又は19を設けるが、夫々各選別筒には分配供給部から略均一に大豆を供給できる構成としている。
上記第1、第2粒径選別筒3a、3bからの排出部には3本設けられたフライトコンベア形態の小粒・中粒及び大粒の各供給搬送装置21a、21b、及び21cに接続されて搬送処理できる構成である。これら各供給搬送装置21a、21b、及び21cの搬送途中には開閉弁22a、22b、及び22cを後記ベルト選別機の設置位置に対応させてどのベルト選別機へも供給でき得るよう設けている。
【0019】
複数(図例では4機)のベルト選別機23a〜23dを備えたベルト選別部4は次の構成である。すなわち、2面傾斜させた選別ベルト25を左右の駆動ローラ26と被動ローラ27との間に巻回して設け、左右傾斜の低位側でかつ前後傾斜の上位側隅部に大豆供給部28を構成し、選別ベルト25を駆動ローラ26の軸部に直接接続した駆動モータ29によって駆動して該供給部28から大豆を供給すると、整粒はベルト25面の移動イに沿う動きは少なく前後傾斜に沿って前側に転動して主としてベルト25の前側端縁から落下しこの位置に設けた傾斜案内シュート30を介して整粒ホッパ31に回収される。また、外形が完全粒形を呈しない屑粒はベルト25面の移動イに沿って左右傾斜の上位側に移動し当該上位側に設けた屑粒ホッパ32に回収される構成である。
【0020】
上記において、上記選別ベルト25を2面傾斜に設けた選別ベルト25は上下2段を単位選別部33として、複数段(図例では6段)に段積状に構成している。すなわち、選別ベルト25と、このベルト25の駆動ローラ26及び被動ローラ27とを枠組支持するフレーム34は、駆動ローラ26と被動ローラ27を支持する支持メタル35,35、及び36,36を側面視及び正・背面視で矩形に構成する兼用フレーム37の上桟部37a及び下桟部37bに各固定する。そして、この兼用フレーム37を主フレーム38に対して左右傾斜角度α及び前後傾斜角度βとも調整可能に設けて、上下2段の単位選別部33を構成する。なお、左右傾斜角度αは、左右傾斜低位側(図2の右側)を主フレーム38に支持された中間フレーム39にヒンジ40,40を介して左右傾斜高位側が上下すべくなし、この傾斜高位側において兼用フレーム37と中間フレーム39との間に、中央部から軸方向前後を互いに逆方向に形成した螺軸41に螺合した螺合体42と、下端を該螺合体42に枢着し上端を上記兼用フレーム37に枢着した連結アーム43とを設け、螺軸41を着脱自在のハンドル(図示せず)を正逆転させることより、螺合体42を軸方向に移動調整することによって中間フレーム39(主フレーム38)に対する兼用フレーム37の傾斜角度αを変更できる構成としている。
【0021】
また、前後傾斜角度βは、主フレーム38に対して上記中間フレーム39を前側のヒンジ44,44で角度変更可能に支持し、反対側(後側)の調節ボルト45,45で主フレーム38に対して中間フレーム39を上下させて角度βを調整できる構成である。
【0022】
50は左右方向に移動する大豆を前後に分散させる拡散体である。
上記単位選別部33のうち、主フレーム38はその左右方向長さを異ならせて構成され、右側端を揃えて上下に複数段(図例では6段)に雛壇状に接続してなる。そして、最上段の主フレーム38には供給ホッパ51を設ける。このホッパ51内には繰り出しロール(図示せず)を設け、該ロールの回転軸芯方向に複数分割して小室に区分し該小室に供給筒52,52…を接続してなり、該供給筒52,52…を、各選別ベルト25の上面に固定して設ける供給シュート53にのぞませて大豆供給部28が構成される。こうして供給ホッパ51からの大豆を上下2段×6組=12段の選別ベルト25に各供給しながら整粒と屑粒とに選別するベルト選別機23を4機備えている。
【0023】
上記各ベルト選別機23a〜23dの供給ホッパ51には、前記供給搬送装置22a,22b,22cの開閉弁22a,22b,22cを夫々対応させて設け、いずれの選別粒径の大豆をも受入れ可能にしている。また、このうちベルト選別機23a、23bの供給ホッパ51a,51bが単一であって、上下12段全部に同じ粒径の大豆を供給するが、ベルト選別機23c,23dはこの供給ホッパを上半用と下半用のように複数に設けられ、例えば上・下に分割して上下2段×3組=6段の選別ベルト25に分けて異なる粒径を供給するもので、上記ベルト選別機23cには供給ホッパ51c1,51c2の2連に設けている。なおベルト選別機23dの場合は、上4組と下2組とに分けて供給しうるよう供給ホッパ51d1,51d2の2連構成としている。
【0024】
上記ベルト選別機23a〜23dからの整粒をまとめて搬送すべくフライトコンベア形態の排出搬送装置54a,54b,54cを、小・中・大粒用の3連に構成し、また、屑粒をまとめて搬送する排出搬送装置55を、上記ベルト選別機23a〜23dの下方に配設している。なお、屑粒用の排出搬送装置55の排出側は、前記夾雑物回収タンク群11のうちのベルト選別回収タンク11eに接続される。
【0025】
各ベルト選別機23a〜23dから上記排出搬送装置54a,54b,54cへの排出は、夫々のベルト選別機の上下整粒ホッパ31の下端側集合部に配設した切替バルブ56によっていずれの排出搬送装置54a,54bまたは54cに供給するかを選択する構成としている。すなわち、ベルト選別機23a〜23bには夫々切替弁56a〜56bを配置させるものであり、ベルト選別機23c及び23dの上・下位分割形態の場合には2組の切替弁56c1,56c2、及び56d1,56d2を各配設している。
【0026】
図外操作盤には、ベルト選別機23a〜23dへの開閉弁22a,22b,22cを指示する指示手段としての行き先スイッチを配設し、この行き先スイッチの選択設定に連動して、排出先指定の切替弁56a〜56d2を所定に切替連動するように構成して排出先に異なる粒径の整粒が混在しないよう構成している。
【0027】
前記整粒用の排出搬送装置54a,54bまたは54cは、製品タンク部5に接続する。製品タンク部5は、複数に配設した製品タンク群57a〜57eからなり、これらタンク群57a〜57eへの張込搬送装置58a〜58cに夫々接続部59a〜59c(例えば筒状案内シュート)を介して接続されている。これら張込搬送装置58a〜58cはフライトコンベア形態とされ、夫々上記製品タンク57a〜57eへの各対応箇所には小粒用開閉弁60a〜60e、中粒用開閉弁61a〜61e、及び大粒用開閉弁62a〜62eを設けてなり、図外操作盤にて製品タンク57a〜57eをいずれの粒径の整粒を収容するかを選択設定するものであり、開閉弁60,61及び62はその設定によって開位置を指定できる構成である。
【0028】
前記のように被選別大豆は昇降機17によって搬送された後、粒径選別部3を経てベルト選別部4に供給されて順に処理を受けるものであり、この処理フローを基準とするが、場合に応じて前記昇降機17から経路64を経て直接ベルト選別部4への供給搬送装置21に供給する場合もある。当該施設に持ち込む前に粒径選別処理を実施している場合などに行うものである。
【0029】
65a〜65cは上記接続部59a〜59cに夫々設けたサンプル取り出し部である。各接続部59a〜59cからサンプル採取された粒は搬送経路を経て自主検定装置66に供給される。この自主検定装置66には前記回転選別筒17及び回転選別筒18と同じ目合いの検定用選別筒を直列して2連に設け、サンプル粒を3段階に選別分離する構成とする。すなわち前記回転選別筒17と同じ目合いの検定用第1選別筒67と、前記回転選別筒18と同じ目合いの検定用第2選別筒68とを設け3段階に区分される構成である。各段階にて選別されたサンプル粒は、夫々に対応して設けるかあるいは兼用された計量器66aにて、選別分離毎の粒重量を測定し演算制御部69に送信できる構成である。
【0030】
演算制御部69は、サンプル毎に各目合いにおける排出重量を入力し、粒径選別部3における仕分けが規定レベル内にあるか否か、規定レベルにない場合には回転選別筒18又は19による選別の限界を超えた処理であるか、選別筒各部の異常を警報する。一例を示すと、小粒用接続部59aからサンプリングして自主検定装置66にて選別計量の結果を、小粒w1、中粒w2、大粒w3とする。小粒接続部からのサンプリングであるから、w1>>w2、及びw1>>w3である。従って、w2/w1>γ、又はw3/w1>δ(γ、δは所定基準値)の場合には、予定した小粒中に中粒、または大粒の混入比率が大きいとして警報を出力すべく構成する。粒径選別部3における供給量の過多、各部の調整不良等の要因が予測されるものでこれらの改善を示唆するものである(図7)。
【0031】
製品タンク部5は出荷昇降機70を経て出荷部6に接続されている。出荷部6は、フレキシブルコンテナ(フレコン)71に充填して出荷する形態と、トラックにてバラ出荷する形態とが選択できる構成としている。なお、各出荷に供される整粒は、上記出荷昇降機70を経て流調タンク72を経由して金属検出除去機73に至る構成である。この金属検出除去機73は、搬送経路途中にマグネットを配設して磁力によって金属を吸着除去する構成である。出荷対象の整粒はその後風力選別機74に供給される構成である。この風力選別機74では、粒径選別部3、ベルト選別部4及びその搬送経路等によって発生する粒からの分離物(付着埃類や表皮等)を風選除去するものである。75は計量機を備える計量タンクで、出荷重量を前記演算制御部67に出力し得る。
【0032】
上記の荷受け部1、粗選部2、粒径選別部3、ベルト選別部4、製品タンク部5、及び出荷部6は、3階に構成された建屋内に以下のように収容配置される。1階(1F)には、荷受けスペースと出荷スペースとが確保されて搬送車両の出入りを容易化するとともに、各種タンクが配置される。前記原料投入ホッパ8、夾雑物回収タンク11a〜11e、製品タンク57a〜57eがこの階に配置されるものである。
【0033】
建屋2階(2F)には、粗選部2の石抜機15及び比重選別機16、ベルト選別部4のベルト選別機23a〜23d及び整・屑粒用排出搬送装置54,55、出荷部6の風力選別機73等が配設される。また3階(3F)部分には、粗選部2の粗選流調タンク12や風力選別機13や篩選別機14を配設し、及び粒径選別部3やベルト選別機23への供給搬送装置21を配設している。
【0034】
上例の作用について説明する。荷受け部1に持ち込まれた大豆は、適宜に原料タンク8a〜8dのいずれか空きのタンクに供給される。この原料タンクの大豆は、昇降機24を経て粗選部2に供給される。粗選部2では、風力選別機13を通過して皮等の軽い塵埃類を風選除去する。また、篩選別機14に供給されると、大豆よりも径大の茎類等の夾雑物が除去される。更に石抜機15で石抜き処理され、比重選別機16では、大豆粒径に近くて軽い夾雑物を除去できる。
【0035】
上記の粗選を行った大豆は昇降機17を経て先ず粒径選別部3aに供給される。ここでは小粒とそれ以上の粒径の大豆に仕分けられ、小粒大豆は供給搬送装置21aに受けられる。次いで粒径選別部3bに送られた大豆はここで中粒と大粒とに分けられ、中粒大豆は供給搬送装置21bに、大粒大豆は供給搬送装置21cに夫々受けられる。
【0036】
上記供給搬送装置21a〜21cの開閉弁22は、操作盤によって予め設定された搬送先のベルト選別機23a〜23dに対応する箇所で開動しているため、この搬送先として設定されたベルト選別機23a〜23dのホッパ51部に小・中又は大粒大豆を供給できる。従って、荷受された大豆の粒径の多寡に応じてベルト選別機の台数あるいは使用段数を予測して上記ホッパ51への供給先を指定するとよい。ホッパ51部の大豆は、区分毎に設けられた供給シュート53,53によって供給シュート53に供給され所定の選別ベルト25面に供給される。
【0037】
ベルト選別機23a〜23dは、予め選別角度α及びβを調節設定しておき、各駆動モータ29を起動する。ベルト25面に供給された上記大豆は、外形が整い球形に近いものは、ベルト25が前後面傾斜しているため、低位の機枠前側に転動して整粒ホッパ31にて回収される。一方扁平粒等は転動し難くベルト25回転に伴って、左右傾斜の上位側に搬送されて屑粒ホッパ32に回収される。
【0038】
上記整粒ホッパ31から回収された整粒は、上下のホッパ部を連通させて小粒用開閉弁60、中粒用開閉弁61または大粒用開閉弁62部に集合させ、下方にのぞませた排出搬送装置54a,54bまたは54cに排出される。
一方屑粒ホッパ32の場合は上下のホッパが左右に位置ずれ配置されるが適宜の手段によって上位側ホッパからの屑粒が下位側の屑粒タンクに連通して回収可能に設けることより、下方にのぞませた屑粒用の排出搬送装置55に排出されるものである。
【0039】
予め小・中・大粒に仕分けてベルト選別機23に供給されるものであるから、ベルト選別機23から排出された整粒は粒径が揃っているため、該ベルト選別機から排出された整粒について粒径選別処理を行なう必要がない。
前記排出搬送装置54a,54b及び54cに排出された大豆粒は、接続部59を経由して収容すべき粒径穀粒を予め設定した製品タンク57a,57b又は57cに供給されるものとなる。またこの途中でサンプルが取り出され、自主検定装置66へその一部がサンプリングされて、前記の区分け処理と重量比率の算出が行なわれ、小・中・大粒の各割合や、前記粒径選別部3(3a,3b)の選別状態の精度判定を行なうものである。
【0040】
製品タンク57a〜57eまでに供給された整粒大豆は、その後の出荷計画にしたがって搬出され、出荷昇降機70によって1階から3階まで一挙に揚上し、3階で待機する金属検出除去機72やその階より下の風力選別機73に順次供給して金属除去処理および搬送、選別過程で生じた剥離皮、塵埃などを風選除去する。このような仕上処理を行なったのち、計量タンク74に供給して計量し、荷受け人毎にあるいは出荷量の確認等に用いられる。
【0041】
出荷に際しては、フレコン出荷形態あるいは車両によるバラ形態の出荷の選択ができる。
上記の実施例では、粒径選別部3を建屋の最上階(3階)に配置し、その下位側の階にはベルト選別機23を配置するものであるから、粒径選別部3からベルト選別部4への大豆の搬送は、途中フライトコンベア形態の供給搬送装置21を横設する構成でありながらも、上位から下位に搬送するものとなって、昇降機のような搬送形態をとらないで足り、大豆の損傷を極力防止できる。また、整品タンク57は1階部分に構成されて、ベルト選別部4からの搬送も上位から下位への自然流下構成となって大豆損傷を少なくさせる。

なお、上記カメラ76を取付機台77が垂直方向の螺軸78に沿って上下移動すべく該螺軸78に正逆モータ79を取付け、カメラ位置を上下に微調整できる構成としている。したがって上下範囲に亘って広い範囲を測定対象とするため、上下方向に調整しながら適当な位置を選択できる。この上下移動に替えて、カメラ76を取付機台77に対して上下にあるいは上下左右に首振り自在に構成し、上下範囲に渡って広く測定対象とさせてもよい。

At the time of shipment, a flexible container shipping form or a bulk shipment by vehicle can be selected.
In the above embodiment, the particle size sorting unit 3 is arranged on the top floor (third floor) of the building, and the belt sorter 23 is arranged on the lower floor. The transport of the soybeans to the sorting unit 4 is configured such that the supply transport device 21 in the form of a flight conveyor is placed sideways on the way, but is transported from the upper level to the lower level, without using a transport mode like an elevator. Sufficient soybean damage can be prevented as much as possible. In addition, the sizing tank 57 is formed on the first floor, and the conveyance from the belt sorting unit 4 also has a natural flow structure from the upper to the lower, so that damage to soybeans is reduced.
[0042]
Reference numeral 76 denotes a camera for observing the state of grain supply to the respective belt sorters 23 of the belt sorter 4 of the belt sorter 4 stacked in a bed shape of the belt sorter 4, and supplies soybean to a monitor (not shown). The configuration is such that the supply side of the sorting belt 25 near the section 28 is projected. The upper and lower two-stage sorting belts 25 are configured in the unit sorting unit 33, and the front, rear, left and right inclination angles α and β and other conditions are the same. The conditions for both the sorting belt and the lower-side sorting belt are constant, and if soybeans with the same particle size and other properties are supplied to this sorting belt, it is expected that the same sorting distribution will be obtained in the upper and lower parts. By monitoring the camera with the camera, it is possible to grasp the overall sorting state. Therefore, by monitoring the upper side of each of the unit sorting units 33 stacked in the above-mentioned bed type, it is possible to confirm the supply state of the selected soybeans in the entire belt sorter 23 and the diffusion of the soybeans to the belt surface, and thus to grasp the soybean clogging. . The camera image may be directly displayed on the monitor and monitored, or the image processing may be performed to detect the presence or absence of the sorted soybean, and the grain clogging may be automatically detected.
[0043]
A forward / reverse motor 79 is mounted on the screw shaft 78 so that the mounting base 77 can move up and down along the vertical screw shaft 78 so that the camera position can be finely adjusted vertically. Therefore, an appropriate position can be selected while adjusting in the up-down direction because a wide range is measured over the up-down range. Instead of this vertical movement, the camera 76 may be configured to be swingable up and down or up and down and left and right with respect to the mounting machine base 77 so as to be a wide range of measurement over the up and down range.

FIG. 8 shows a different example of the sorting belt of the belt sorting machine 23. The selection belt 80 is formed of a magnetic component, and the metal is carried around to the inclined high side along with the selection belt 80 together with the debris while being attracted by the magnetic force. Is separated from the surface of the belt 80 by the scraping action of the soybeans, and is collected in the collection box 83 viewed from below. Metals mixed and transported in soybeans are diffused on the surface of the sorting belt 80 and widened. Adsorption by magnetism is performed in the range, and the separation and separation of metals can be reliably performed.
