JP 2010-104871 A

  When producing processed foods using rice flour, the optimal grain size of rice flour may differ depending on the type of processed food such as bread and udon, or mixed quality rice flour may produce good quality processed foods. there were.

However, conventional rice flour mills have the problem that the grain size of the rice flour that can be produced cannot be adjusted, and only a single grain size of rice flour can be obtained.
In addition, conventional rice flour mills are installed in millers' factories and the like, and when used by general consumers, they must be asked to a miller, so that they cannot be used easily by general consumers. There was also a problem of not.

  The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and provides a rice grain mill that can adjust the grain size, can produce rice grains having a plurality of grain sizes, and can be easily used by general consumers. The purpose is to do.

  In this column, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, the reference numerals used in the “Mode for Carrying Out the Invention” column are attached as necessary, which means that the scope of claims is limited by this reference numeral. is not.

The invention made in order to solve the problem described in “Problems to be solved by the invention” includes a valuable medium detection means (10), a pulverizer (20), and a control means (30).
The valuable medium detection means (10) has an insertion slot (12) for inserting the valuable medium (14), and detects the value of the valuable medium (14) inserted from the insertion slot (12).

  The pulverizer (20) has a rice cereal inlet (22), and the rice cereal introduced into the rice cereal inlet (22) is formed into a disk shape and has a protrusion (28) on the plate surface (26). ) Is pulverized by the value of the valuable medium (14) detected by the valuable medium detecting means (10) to produce rice flour.

  The control means (30) controls the rotational speed of the rotating body (26) of the grinder (20) to adjust the grain size of the rice flour obtained from the grinder (20) and to rotate the rotating body (26). By controlling the time, the weight of the rice flour of each particle size and the weight of the rice flour of the particle size are adjusted.

  Here, the “valuable medium (14)” refers to money for exchanging goods such as prepaid cards, credit cards, point cards or IC cards in addition to money issued by public institutions such as coins and banknotes. It refers to a mediator whose value is embodied.

  Further, “the valuable medium (14) inserted from the insertion slot (12)” means “insertion” if the valuable medium (14) is a bill or a card, but in the case of a coin or the like, It also includes the concept of input. Further, the “value of the valuable medium (14)” means not a value of the valuable medium (14) itself but a monetary value embodied in the valuable medium (14).

In such a rice grain milling machine (5), rice grains are introduced into the rice grain inlet (22) and the valuable medium (14) is inserted from the valuable medium insertion opening (12).
And the thrown-in rice grain is grind | pulverized in the valuable part grinder (20) of a valuable medium (14). The pulverizer (20) is formed in a disk shape, and pulverizes rice grains by rotating a rotating body (26) having protrusions (28) on the plate surface, thereby generating rice flour.

  Here, by controlling the rotational speed of the rotating body (26) of the grinder (20) by the control means (30), the particle size of the obtained rice flour changes. Therefore, for example, by measuring in advance which grain size rice flour is obtained at which rotational speed, the rotational speed of the rotating body (26) should be set so that rice flour having the required grain size can be obtained. For example, rice flour having a required particle size, that is, rice flour having a different particle size can be produced.

Moreover, the weight of the rice flour of each particle size produced | generated can be adjusted by controlling the rotation time of the rotary body (26) of the set rotational speed.
Here, in processed foods using rice flour as a raw material, processed foods having a long-lasting feeling can be produced by using as a raw material a mixture of rice flours having different particle sizes.

  Therefore, if the control means (30) adjusts the particle size so as to obtain a particle size suitable for processed foods using rice flour having different particle sizes, such as noodles, castella, bread, etc., This is convenient because rice flour having a particle size suitable for processed foods can be obtained by the value of the valuable medium (14).

  Further, as described in claim 2, the rice flour produced in the grinder (20) is separated by passing through a plurality of sieves having different mesh sizes to separate rice flour of different sizes (90). It is good to prepare.

Thus, by passing the rice flour produced by pulverization by the pulverizer (20) through the sieve, the rice flour can be more accurately classified for each particle size.
Furthermore, in the control means (30), it is possible to produce rice flour having different particle sizes, for example, even at a constant rotational speed without finely adjusting the rotational speed of the rotating body (26) of the grinder (20). . Therefore, the configuration of the control means (30) and the pulverizer (20) can be simplified.

  Further, as described in claim 3, before being pulverized by the pulverizer (20), the input amount detecting means (40) for detecting the amount of rice cereal introduced into the rice cereal inlet (22), and the input amount Display means (50) for calculating and displaying the value of the valuable medium (14) necessary for pulverizing in the pulverizer (20) with the amount of rice cereal detected by the detection means (40). To do.

  When the valuable medium (14) calculated by the calculating means (30) is detected by the valuable medium detecting means (10), the control means (30) inputs rice grains into the grinder (20). It is preferable to pulverize the rice grains put into the mouth (22).

  If it does in this way, it displays as the value of the valuable medium (14) required in order to grind | pulverize the quantity of rice grains thrown into the rice grain insertion slot (22). For example, when 10 kg of rice cereal is input, it is displayed that 100 yen is necessary to grind it.

Therefore, when the user inserts the valuable medium (14) having the value displayed on the display means (50) into the valuable medium insertion opening (12), the introduced rice grains are crushed to produce rice flour.
By the way, it is convenient to store for each produced rice flour having different particle sizes. Therefore, as described in claim 4, for each of the produced rice flours having different particle sizes, a plurality of sorting storage means (70) for storing in the storage material (62) and a plurality of storage materials (62) for storing the rice flour are provided. It is preferable to provide storage material supply means (60) for storing and storing the plurality of stored storage materials (62) one by one and supplying them to the separate storage means (70).

In this way, rice flours with different particle sizes are stored in separate storage materials (62), which is convenient for producing processed foods using rice flour.
Further, as described in claim 5, the writing means (80) for indicating the grain size of the rice flour stored in each storage material (62) in which rice flour of different particle sizes is stored by the separate storage means (70). It is convenient because the grain size of rice flour is written for each storage material (62).

Here, the “storage material (62)” means a synthetic resin or cloth bag, or a paper box that can be stored in a folded state.
“Writing means (80)” means that rice flour is written by sticking the written seal to the storage material (62) or processing the surface of the storage material (62), in addition to writing directly to the storage material (62). This includes the case where the granularity of the image is expressed.

  Moreover, you may make it like Claim 6. That is, a plurality of mixed storage means (100) for storing the produced rice flour of different particle sizes in the storage material (62) at a predetermined weight ratio, and a plurality of storage materials (62) for storing rice flour are stored, A storage material supply means (60) for taking out the stored storage materials (62) one by one and supplying them to the mixed storage means (100) is provided.

  When it does in this way, the produced | generated rice flour from which a particle size differs will be accommodated in one storage material (62). Therefore, when making processed foods using rice flour, it is not necessary to mix rice flour of different particle sizes, which is convenient.

  Further, as described in claim 6, when storing rice flour of different particle sizes at a predetermined weight ratio in the mixing storage means (100), an inert gas is injected into the storage material (62) storing rice flour. The mixing storage means (100) stores rice flour having different particle sizes in the storage material (62) and then stores the rice flour in the storage material (62) stored in the gas injection means (140). An inert gas may be injected inside.

  If it does in this way, since the inert gas fills the inside of the storage material (62) in which the rice flour is stored, the stored rice flour will not be oxidized. Also, for example, by setting the amount of rice flour stored in the storage material (62) to be one processed food using rice flour, the state in which the inert gas is enclosed until the processed food is actually made is maintained. So you can always make processed foods with unoxidized rice flour.

  By the way, when making processed foods using rice flour of different particle sizes, the mixing ratio of rice flour suitable for the processed foods is known in advance. Therefore, as described in claim 8, the user inputs a food input means (140) for inputting the type of processed food using rice flour, and the type of food input by the food input means (140). A storage means (130) for storing a predetermined weight ratio of the grain size of rice flour as suitable for making, and the mixing storage means (100) A weight ratio suitable for producing the processed food input via the input means (140) may be obtained from the storage means (130).

  In this way, when the user inputs the type of processed food using rice flour, rice flour mixed with rice flour having a particle size suitable for producing the processed food is obtained, which is convenient for the user.

  Moreover, since the weight ratio of rice flour suitable for making processed food is stored in the storage means (130), the weight ratio of rice flour suitable for making processed food stored in the storage means (130) is easy. Therefore, rice flour having a weight ratio suitable for various processed foods can be produced.

  By the way, the mixing ratio of rice flour having different particle sizes, which is suitable for making processed foods, varies depending on the temperature and humidity. Therefore, as described in claim 9, a temperature detection means (110) for detecting the ambient temperature and a humidity detection means (120) for detecting the ambient humidity are provided, and the storage means (130) is provided. As a predetermined weight ratio, a predetermined weight ratio of the grain size of the rice flour is set to be suitable for a type of food input by the food input means (140) at a predetermined temperature and humidity. It is good to memorize.

If it does in this way, since the rice flour of the mixing ratio suitable for the ambient temperature and humidity of a rice grain milling machine (7) is obtained, the processed food using rice flour which is optimal at that time can be made.
By the way, although the above-mentioned rice flour mill (7) alone can be used as a rice flour mill (7) that can generate rice flour suitable for making processed foods, various information can be provided from the outside. It is convenient to be able to change or add.

Therefore, as described in claim 10, management means (200) for outputting management information for managing the rice flour mill (7) from the outside to the rice flour mill (7) is provided.
The management means (200) is suitable as management information for the value of the valuable medium (14) per unit weight of rice grain, the mixing ratio of rice flour having different particle sizes, and the type of food input by the food input means (140). In addition, at least one of the weight ratios of rice flour having different particle sizes, which is determined as being suitable for the ratio of the rice flour having different particle sizes and the predetermined temperature and humidity, is output to the rice grain mill (7).

  Further, the rice flour mill (7) is provided with information input means (210) for inputting management information from the management means (200), and is input from the information input means (210) in the control means (30). Value of valuable value per unit weight of rice cereal (14), mixing ratio of rice flour of different particle sizes, proportion of rice flour of different particle sizes suitable for the type of food inputted by the food input means (140) and predetermined The rice flour may be generated by the pulverizer (20) based on at least one of the weight ratios of rice flour having different particle sizes, which are determined as suitable for temperature and humidity.

  This is convenient because the rice flour mill (7) can be managed from the external management means (200) through, for example, a telephone line or the Internet.
