FIG. 2 is a plan view of the rice milling equipment of the present embodiment, and the building T is divided into a machine room 13 and an operation room 14 by a partition wall 12.
The machine room 13 is provided with various devices such as a stone remover 3, a rice milling machine 7, and a milling machine 8. An operation panel S for operation is provided.

  From the viewpoint of the user of the operation room 14, the input hopper 1 is provided on the left and right sides of the operation room 14, and the polished rice tank 9 and the rice flour tank 10 are provided on the left and right sides. An operation panel S provided with G and a coin insertion slot (not shown) is provided.

Although not shown, the rice milling equipment of the present embodiment includes a control unit that detects the input of each sensor and the input of a charge and controls the operation of each device.
Next, the operation | movement which turns brown rice into polished rice or rice flour is demonstrated below.

The user who brought the brown rice puts a fee into the coin slot (S100), and then puts the brown rice into the loading hopper 1 (S101).
Then, the selection screen of the milling degree selection switches 20a to 20h and the brown rice milling selection switch 21 shown in FIG. Hereinafter, (1) brown rice milling operation to mill brown rice, (2) rice milling operation to make polished rice with milling degree to set brown rice, (3) milling with milling degree to set with milled rice with milling degree to set brown rice and The milled rice milling operation will be described.

First, the brown rice milling operation will be described below.
When the brown rice milling selection switch 21 is operated on the selection screen of FIG. 4 (S102), the milling start switch 22 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the screen, and when the milling start switch 22 is operated (S103), each device of the rice milling equipment is activated. (S104).

  The brown rice in the charging hopper 1 is sequentially fed by the first feeding valve 2, supplied to the stone remover 4 by the first elevator 3, and subjected to stone removal processing, and then supplied to the brown rice tank 6 by the second elevator 5. And it is sequentially supplied to the milling chamber 7d of the rice mill 7 by the second feeding valve 6b.

  At the time of brown rice milling operation, the pressure control plate 7b is set at a position where no whitening action is performed, and the brown rice simply passes through the whitening chamber 7d without being subjected to the whitening action and is discharged from the rice milling machine 7. And the brown rice which passed the rice milling machine 7 is guided to the milling machine 8 from the milled rice supply channel | path 8a by the switching apparatus 11 (S105) switched to the milling machine 8 side after the operation start, and the milling roll ( (Not shown) and the like are sequentially crushed into rice flour and discharged into the rice flour tank 10.

Then, when the operation time for the charging fee elapses (S106), the operation of each device is stopped and the milling operation is ended.
Next, a rice milling operation for making polished rice with a degree of milling that sets brown rice will be described.

  When a desired milling degree, for example, non-washed rice is selected on the selection screen in FIG. 4 (S107), the rice milling start switch 23 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, and when the rice milling start switch 23 is operated (S108), each device is activated. The rice milling operation is started (S109). The brown rice in the input hopper 1 is supplied to the milling chamber 7d of the rice milling machine 7 through the same process as the brown rice milling operation described above. At this time, the pressure adjusting plate 7b is set to a position where the degree of whitening set by the pressure adjusting plate driving motor 7c is set, i.e., in this case, a position where no washing is performed. And is accommodated in the polished rice tank 9 from the polished rice discharge passage 9a.

Then, when the operation time for the charging fee elapses (S110), the operation of each device is stopped and the rice milling operation is ended.
Next, the milled rice milling operation for milling with a milling degree for setting brown rice will be described.

  When the desired milling degree, for example, the non-washed rice 20a is selected on the selection screen of the operation screen G in FIG. 4 (S107), the milling selection switch 24 is displayed together with the milled rice start switch 23 shown in FIG. When operated (S111), the charge setting screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed.

  Therefore, a charge column 26a for making the polished rice with the selected degree of milling (in this case, no-washed rice) and a charge column 26b for making the rice flour with the selected degree of milling (in this case, no-washed rice) are charged. Each is set by the switch 25 (S112). Then, when the milled rice / milling start switch 27 is operated (S113), the operation of each apparatus is started, and the milled rice milling operation is started (s114).

  The brown rice of the input hopper 1 is supplied to the milling chamber of the rice mill 7 through the same process as the brown rice milling operation described above. At this time, the pressure adjusting plate 7b is set to a position for achieving the degree of whitening set by the pressure adjusting plate driving motor 7c, that is, in this case, a position for washing-free rice, and the whitening action is performed in the whitening chamber 7d. The polished rice that has been subjected to is discharged from the polishing chamber 7d. Then, by the switching device 11 (S115) that is switched to the milling machine 8 side after the start of operation, the milled rice is sequentially guided from the milled rice discharged at the start of the milling to the milling machine 8 and a milling roll (not shown) of the milling machine 8. Etc. are successively crushed into rice flour and discharged into a rice flour tank 10.

  When the milling operation time for the set fee 8 (100 yen in this embodiment) has elapsed (S116), the switching device 11 is switched from the milling machine 8 side to the milled rice tank 9 side (S117), and thereafter the milling machine 7 The polished rice that has been subjected to the polished rice processing is discharged into the polished rice tank 9. Then, when the rice milling operation time for the set fee (300 yen in this embodiment) elapses (S118), each device is stopped and the milled rice milling operation is terminated.

  In addition, in the case of the milled rice milling operation in which all the brown rice is milled with the milling degree, as shown in FIG. 8, all of the input fee is set to the milling operation. In other words, it refers to the case where all the brown rice to be processed is milled at the set milling degree. In this case, when the milled rice milling operation time for the set fee has elapsed, each device stops and the milled rice milling operation ends. To do.

The effects of the rice milling equipment according to the present embodiment will be described below.
According to the rice milling equipment of the present embodiment, the user makes the brown rice brought into rice flour in the state of brown rice, makes the rice milled at the set milling degree, and makes the rice flour at the set milling degree, It becomes possible to make milled rice and rice flour with the set milling degree, and it can be a milling equipment for a wide range of uses. Moreover, when finishing into polished rice and rice flour, it can be finished into polished rice and rice flour in desired amounts. In addition, the polished rice and rice flour can be stored in separate tanks and can be prevented from mixing. In addition, when finishing into milled rice and rice flour, the rice flour is sequentially supplied from the first milled rice discharged from the rice milling machine 7 to the milling machine 8, so that the milling operation and the milling operation can be performed in parallel. Can be prevented from becoming unnecessarily long, and the time for milling and milling can be easily managed.
