Description

  The present invention relates to a charge-type rice milling facility that automatically performs a rice milling operation by putting a predetermined rice milling fee into a coin mech.

  In the fee-type rice milling equipment, there are known a mode in which rice milling is performed every 100 yen (for example, see Patent Document 1) and a mode in which rice milling operation is possible in every 10 yen (for example, see Patent Document 2). ing.

JP 2007-144309 A (first page, FIG. 6). JP-A-58-158793 (first page, FIG. 2).

  In the form where a milling fee is charged every 100 yen and a small amount of residual brown rice is milled due to a shortage of charges, it becomes uneconomical if no change is made. . In addition, if it is configured to be able to operate rice milling by simply injecting a rice milling fee in units of 10 yen, it may continue to start and stop rice milling every minute by repeating the fee input every 10 yen unit, The durability of the rice milling machine becomes worse.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a coin rice milling machine that automatically feeds brown rice to the brown rice receiving hopper (1) and inputs a predetermined rice milling fee to the coin mech (2). In the rice milling equipment, which is equipped with a control device (17) that enables rice milling operation in units of 10 yen when rice milling operation is performed in the unit of yen, and the rice milling operation stops in the middle due to out of charge. Constitute. Rice milling operation is started by supplying a target amount of brown rice to the brown rice receiving hopper 1 and putting a fee corresponding to the amount of brown rice into the coin mech 2. This rice milling fee will be input in units of one hundred yen according to the amount of brown rice supplied. Therefore, when the rice milling operation is temporarily stopped after the rice milling operation has been performed and the rice milling operation is temporarily stopped, additional charges are added to the coin mech 2 in units of one hundred yen or ten yen. The amount of brown rice can be polished. At this time, the rice milling time is operated at a rice milling rate every 10 yen.

  The invention described in claim 2 is a coin milling machine for automatically milling rice by supplying brown rice to the brown rice receiving hopper (1) and putting a predetermined rice milling fee into the coin mech (2). In addition, the rice milling operation that is performed by combining the rice milling fee in the unit of 10 yen and putting it into the coin mech (2) is switched to the rice milling operation for every 10 yen unit according to the progress of the rice milling operation for every 100 yen unit. (17) is provided in the fee-type rice milling facility.

  When the rice milling operation is started, the user starts the operation by putting a total fee, which is a combination of the rice milling fee per hundred yen and the rice milling fee per ten yen unit, into the coin mech 2 according to the supply amount of brown rice. . At this time, the rice milling operation is performed over the milling time for every hundred yen unit, and when the rice milling operation time for every hundred yen unit elapses, it is switched to the rice milling operation for every ten yen unit. Therefore, the rice milling user prepares a rice milling fee more than necessary according to the amount of brown rice to be milled from the beginning and puts it in the coin mech 2 to initially perform the rice milling process in units of 100 yen, Thereafter, a small amount of residual brown rice or a small amount of brown rice can be polished at a rate of 10 yen.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the operation is restarted by charging when the rice milling operation is stopped halfway, or the rice milling operation is performed every hundred yen unit. When switching to rice milling operation in units of 10 yen at the time of operation, when the rice milling operation is terminated with surplus charges for rice milling in units of 10 yen, the remaining fee in units of 10 yen is returned as change To be configured.

  As mentioned above, at first, after charging the price for every 100 yen unit according to the amount of brown rice supplied for the purpose of rice milling operation, after finishing most rice milling after starting the rice milling operation, When a fee or a fee for every 10 yen is left, the remaining fee is returned as change based on the settlement. For this reason, the start and stop operations are not repeated repeatedly from the start of rice milling, and machine damage is reduced, durability is kept high, and appropriate rate control according to the amount of rice milling is performed. .

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the rice milling user performs the rice milling operation, when the rice milling is performed at the unit of 100 yen at the beginning, the rice milling fee is charged to the coin mech 2 at the first 100 yen unit. Since rice milling can only be done in units of 10 yen unless it is once started, rice milling users frequently start and stop rice milling in 10-yen increments from the start of milling operations. Eliminating droughts can reduce the number of rice mill failures and increase durability. In addition, when the rice milling fee is insufficient or when the amount of supplied brown rice remains small, after the rice milling operation is stopped every 100 yen unit, the remaining rice milling operation can be performed every 10 yen unit. Efficient and economical rice milling can be performed.

  In the invention of claim 2, at the start of the rice milling, first, the rice milling operation is performed for every hundred yen unit, and when the rice milling operation for every hundred yen unit has elapsed, the operation time for every ten yen unit is automatically performed. It is intended to continue the rice milling process after switching, so that it will not be possible to perform an operation method that frequently repeats the start and stop of the rice milling operation every minute by adding a fee of 10 yen from the beginning. It can be an efficient, economical and easy-to-use rice mill.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the case where the rice milling fee in the unit of 10 yen remains in the coin mech 2 after starting the rice milling operation and finishing the rice milling of the brown rice put into the brown rice receiving hopper (1). In order for this remaining fee to be returned as change, there is no need to repeatedly start and stop operation in small increments from the start of rice milling, maintaining machine durability and appropriate rice milling rate control according to the amount of rice milling. The rice mill can be easily used by the rice milling user.

The figure which shows a rice mill installation from the front side. The block diagram which shows the processing path | route of a rice milling facility. The front view which shows another example of a whiteness degree selection switch.

  Based on the drawings, the fee-based rice milling equipment has an operation panel 4 and a coin mech 2 arranged in front of the cab side, and a brown rice receiving hopper 1 for supplying brown rice brought by the user is provided on the left side. A white rice hopper 5 is provided for receiving the polished white rice. In the machine room 6 on the back side of the driver's cab 3, a sorting device 7 for roughing and sorting the brown rice transported from the receiving hopper 1, and a rice milling device 8 for milling the sorted brown rice transported from the sorting device 7. And a koji processing device 9 for bagging the koji removed by the rice milling device 8 are disposed.

  The brown rice receiving hopper 1 is provided with a rotary valve 10 for feeding brown rice, and a brown rice presence sensor 11 for detecting the presence or absence of brown rice in the hopper 1. The brown rice fed out by the rotation of the rotary valve 10 is conveyed and supplied to the sorting device 7 via the groining machine 12. The brown rice from which the stone removal and straw scraps are sorted and removed by the sorting device 7 is transported and supplied to the rice hopper 14 provided in the previous process of the rice milling device 8 via the threshing machine 13 and temporarily stored. And this brown rice can be supplied to the rice milling apparatus 8 one by one, and rice milling can be performed. The white rice that is polished and taken out by the rice milling device 8 is received by the white rice hopper 5, and the debris is discharged to a rice bran processing device 9 composed of a suction blower, a cyclone, etc., and subjected to bagging.

  The operation panel 4 is provided with a whitening degree selection switch 16 for setting the whitening degree, and the coin mech 2 is provided with a coin insertion slot 26, a coin return slot 15 for change, and the like. The coin mech 2, the milling degree selection switch 16, the brown rice presence sensor 11 and the like are arranged on the input side of the control device (controller) 17, and the rotary valve 10, the cerealing machine 12, the sorting device 7, The cereal machine 13, the rice milling device 8, the rice bran processing device 9 and the like are operated to output.

  In this case, the control device 17 supplies a predetermined amount of brown rice to the brown rice receiving hopper 1 and inputs a predetermined rice milling fee to the coin mech 2 to automatically mill the rice milling machine at the start of the rice milling operation. If the rice milling operation is performed every yen unit and the rice milling operation is stopped halfway due to out of charge, the rice milling operation can be performed every ten yen unit.

  Rice milling operation is started by supplying a target amount of brown rice to the brown rice receiving hopper 1 and putting a fee corresponding to the amount of brown rice into the coin mech 2. This rice milling fee will be input in units of one hundred yen according to the amount of brown rice supplied. Therefore, when the rice milling operation is temporarily stopped after the rice milling operation has been performed and the rice milling operation is temporarily stopped, additional charges are added to the coin mech 2 in units of one hundred yen or ten yen. The amount of brown rice can be polished. At this time, the rice milling time is operated at a rice milling rate every 10 yen.

Next, the rice milling operation based on FIG. 2A and FIG.
In Fig. 2A and Fig. 3, when the rice milling operation is performed with the first 100 yen unit charged and then the rice milling process is stopped due to a charge outage, the remaining 10 In the case of rice milling operation, milling every 100 yen unit is performed for 300 yen operation time, then it is stopped due to outage and then restarted when 10 yen unit fee is charged, every 10 yen unit Rice milled for 20 yen, and the brown rice supplied to the brown rice receiving hopper 1 is refined.

  More specifically, first, a predetermined 100-yen-milled rice charge (for example, 300 yen) is input to the coin mech 2, then the brown rice brought to the brown rice receiving hopper 1 is supplied, and the milling degree selection switch 16 is input. As a result, each device is activated to start the rice milling operation.

  When the operation time for 300 yen has elapsed and the grain presence / absence sensor 11 detects the presence of grain (grain presence / absence sensor ON), each part of the apparatus immediately stops due to out of charge. At this time, when a fee of 10 yen unit (for example, 50 yen) is input, the machine is restarted and the rice milling operation is performed for the operation time corresponding to the input fee.

  Of course, the unit may be restarted with a unit of 100 yen instead of 10 yen. In this case, when the grain presence sensor 11 detects the absence of grain (grain presence sensor OFF), the operation time is less than 100 yen. Although not shown in FIG. 3, the difference may be calculated and the change may be returned from the coin return slot 15 when finished.

Next, FIG. 2B and FIG. 4 explain the rice milling operation based on FIG.
When rice milling operation is started, rice milling operation performed by combining rice milling fee of 100 yen unit and rice milling fee of 10 yen unit (for example, 320 yen) into Coinmek 2, When the rice milling operation has passed, it is configured to switch to rice milling operation every 10 yen unit and continuously operate.

  More specifically, first, a predetermined 100 yen unit and a 10 yen unit of rice milling charges (for example, 320 yen) are input to the coin mech 2, and then the brown rice brought to the brown rice receiving hopper 1 is supplied. By turning on the selection switch 16, each device is activated to start the rice milling operation.

  At this time, the rice milling operation is performed over the milling time for every hundred yen unit, and when the rice milling operation time for every hundred yen unit elapses, it is switched to the rice milling operation for every ten yen unit. Therefore, the rice milling user prepares a rice milling fee more than necessary according to the amount of brown rice to be milled from the beginning and puts it in the coin mech 2 to initially perform the rice milling process in units of 100 yen, Thereafter, a small amount of residual brown rice or a small amount of brown rice can be polished at a rate of 10 yen.

  Further, when the brown rice of the brown rice receiving hopper 1 is processed before the operation time corresponding to the fee has elapsed, although not shown in FIG. 4, the difference is calculated and the change is returned from the coin return port 15. Anyway.

  In FIG. 3 and the flowchart of FIG. 4 to be described later, the end rice milling operation means that when the brown rice presence / absence sensor 11 of the brown rice receiving hopper 1 detects the absence of brown rice, the rotor valve 10 is first stopped after a predetermined time and then raised. This is a control operation in which the cereal machine 12 and the sorting device 7 are sequentially stopped, and finally the remaining rice is polished by the rice milling device 8, and then all of the rice milling device 8 and the like are sequentially stopped. Moreover, the stoppage in the middle of out of charge is a control in which each apparatus stops immediately at the same time.

At this time, if the input fee is too large, change of ten yen unit is returned.
As described above, at first, after charging the amount of brown rice for the purpose of rice milling operation, the unit was charged in units of 100 yen, after the rice polishing operation was started and the rice was put into the brown rice receiving hopper 1, When the remaining fee per hundred yen unit or the fee per ten yen unit is left, the remaining fee is returned as change based on the settlement. For this reason, the start and stop operations are not repeated repeatedly from the start of rice milling, and machine damage is reduced, durability is kept high, and appropriate rate control according to the amount of rice milling is performed. .

  As mentioned above, in the rice milling operation in which rice milling is performed in units of 100 yen or rice milling in units of 10 yen in combination with this, the remaining fee is included in the rice milling charge after performing rice milling processing in units of at least 100 yen When there is, it is automatically returned as change. Such coins in units of one hundred yen or in units of ten yen may be adjusted by the coin mech 2 usually using one hundred yen coin, ten yen coin or the like. Therefore, when performing 100-yen milling, even if a 100-yen coin is inserted, if there is a balance after milling, a change of 10-yen coin will be issued. For this reason, it can be conveniently used in a coin rice milling machine in an urban area where a relatively small amount of brown rice with an amount of about 10 kg brought together is often polished.

  In addition, instead of coins, a card insertion slot (or key switch, hidden switch, etc. is also possible) is provided in the operation panel 4, and by inserting a card into this insertion slot, automatic rice milling operation can be performed without charging a fee. Is possible. The card is a code with a personal identification number for the owner confirmation mode, a bar code or the like.

  Next, based on FIG. 7, an embodiment of the whiteness selection switch 16 is shown. A switch button 20 in the form of a notch that can be rotated and pushed is provided at the center of the dividing label 21, and this rotating outer periphery is shown. In the area, a 1 minute label 21, a 3 minute label 22, a 5 minute label 23, a 7 minute label 24, and the like of each class are arranged to display the position of the degree of whitening (fractional) switch. For example, when the milling is performed in 3 minutes, the indication mark 25 of the switch button 20 is rotated so as to indicate the position of the 3 minutes label 22, and the switch button 20 is pressed, so that the 3 minutes The milling process by the degree of milling is specified.
