About the rice husk processing equipment of the present invention, the embodiment used for the rice hull equipment which hulls the rice cake which the user brought is described below.
Based on FIG. 2, the outline of the hulling equipment will be described.

  A loading hopper 1 for throwing in the straw brought by the user, a straw transporter for transporting the straw in the throwing hopper 1 (the straw transporting spiral 2), an elevator 3 for mashing the straw, and a straw that has been lifted by the elevator 3 A rice huller 4 for crushing, a stone remover 5 for sorting and removing stones from the crushed rice discharged from the rice huller 4, a foreign material sorter 6 for sorting and removing long objects such as rice hulls, A first sorter 7 that sorts and removes rice cake and foreign matters having a relatively large particle size from the pu rice, a second sorter 8 that sorts and removes small rice from the crushed rice that has passed through the first sorter 7, and a second sort A brown rice extraction hopper 9 for taking out the sized brown rice from the crushed rice selected by the machine 8 is provided.

  A rice husk accommodating portion 11 for accommodating the rice husk wind-selected by the wind selecting portion 10 of the hulling machine 4 and a rice husk hopper 12 for supplying the rice husk to the user are provided. The rice husk container 11 includes a cyclone 13 that separates the rice husk from the conveying air, a rice husk conveying basket 40 that includes a rice husk conveying helix 15 that conveys the rice husk dropped by the cyclone 13 to the rice husk container 14, and the rice husk hopper 12 A guide chute 16 for guiding and a first switching valve 17 for switching supply of the rice husk dropped by the cyclone 13 to either the rice husk hopper 12 side or the rice husk storage container 14 side are provided. A second switching valve 35 is provided for switching supply of the rice husk discharged from the wind selector 10 of the rice huller 4 to either the rice husk container 11 or the rice husk container 18 outside the machine.

Next, the layout of the hulling equipment will be described with reference to FIG.
The interior of the building 19 is partitioned into a guest room 21 and a machine room 22 by a partition wall 20. A charging port of the charging hopper 1 is provided on one side of the cabin 21, and the elevator 3 and the hulling machine 4 are provided behind the charging hopper 1, that is, on one side of the machine room 22. A second switching valve 35 and a rice husk outboard discharge guide cylinder 41 are provided rearward from the rice huller 4, and a rice husk storage 18 is provided behind the building 19.

  A stone remover 5 is provided in the space between the huller 4 and the elevator 3, and a foreign material sorter 6 is provided at the center of the machine room 22 on the side of the stone remover 5. A first sorter 7, a second sorter 8, and a brown rice take-out hopper 9 are provided forward from the foreign matter sorter 6, and a brown rice take-out port 30 is provided on the cabin 21 side.

The rice husk accommodating portion 11 is provided on the other side of the machine room 22.
The entrance 42 and the brown rice outlet 43 of the introduction hopper 1 are provided adjacent to each other, and the operation panel 24 and the rice husk outlet 44 are provided from the brown rice outlet 43 toward the other side of the cabin 21.

The operation panel 24 is provided with a charge input port 25 for inputting a charge, an operation switch 26 for starting the rice husk operation, and a rice husk take-back switch 27 for selecting to bring the rice husk back.
Next, a description will be given of the work from the introduction of the rice cake brought by the operator to the return of the brown rice and rice husk that have been subjected to the rice hull processing.

The operator puts a fee into the fee entry port 25 and puts a bag into the loading hopper 1. When the operation switch 26 is operated, the hulling equipment starts operation.
The straw of the charging hopper 1 is supplied to the hulling machine 4 by the hail conveying spiral 2 and the elevator 3 and hulled. Although the impeller-type hulling portion 28 is shown in FIG. 2, it may be a roll-type.

  The chaffed crushed rice is wind-selected by the wind selection unit 10, and then stones and long foreign matters are removed by the stone remover 5 and the foreign material sorter 6. The foreign matter sorter 6 supplies the first sorter 7 and the first sorter 7 sorts and removes rice cake and foreign matter having a relatively large particle size from the crushed rice, and the second sorter 8 removes small rice from the crushed rice. Sorted out. The sized brown rice in the crushed rice that has passed through the second sorter 8 is supplied to the brown rice take-out hopper 9, and the operator takes out the brown rice from the brown rice take-out port 43 and takes it home.

  The chaff discharged from the wind selector 10 is guided to the chaff containing portion 11 through the chaff conveying cylinder 31. In the rice husk accommodating portion 11, the rice husk and air are first separated by the cyclone 13, and the rice husk falling from the cyclone 13 is conveyed in the rice husk conveying hull 40 by the rice husk conveying helix 15 and accommodated in the rice husk accommodating container 14.

  When the operator returns the rice husk, if the rice husk return switch 27 is operated, the first switching valve 17 is switched to the rice husk guide chute 16 side, and the rice husk falling from the first cyclone 13 is guided to the rice husk hopper 12. The operator removes the rice husk from the rice husk outlet 33 and brings it back. The timing at which the operator operates the rice husk take-back switch 26 can be any time during the hulling operation after charging the fee input port 25. However, if the rice husk take-back switch 26 is operated during the hulling operation, the hull is taken back from the middle of the hulling operation, and therefore it is desirable to perform it before and after the operation of the operation switch 25.

  When the operator does not operate the rice husk take-back switch 27, the rice husk equipment manager transports the rice husk to the rice husk accommodating portion 11 side or accommodates it in the rice husk container 18 outside the building 19 through the rice husk external transport cylinder 41. Can be set as appropriate.

  This setting can be operated with a setting tool (not shown) for an administrator of a control unit (not shown) of the hulling equipment built in the operation panel 24. Alternatively, as another embodiment, the rice husk container 14 is provided with a full sensor 36, and when the full sensor 36 detects that the rice husk is full, when the operator does not operate the rice husk take-back switch 27, the second switching valve 35 is moved to the rice husk container 18 side. It is also possible to guide. Alternatively, a full sensor 37 may be provided in the rice husk storage 18 so that when the rice husk storage 18 detects fullness, the second switching valve 35 is switched and the rice husk storage 18 is conveyed.

  When the administrator sets the rice husk storage 18 side to store the rice husk, the first switching valve 17 is always set to the guide chute 18 side, and the operator operates the rice husk take-back switch 27, the second The switching valve 35 may be configured to switch whether the rice husk is conveyed to the rice husk storage 18 or the rice husk hopper 12.

According to the present embodiment, the operator of the rice hull equipment can appropriately manage the rice husk while responding to the demand of the operator who wants to take home the rice husk.
The rice husk processing equipment of the present invention can be used not only for the rice bran equipment of the present embodiment, that is, the equipment for exclusive use for converting the rice bran into brown rice, but also for the rice bran rice milling equipment for polishing rice bran with brown rice or a rice mill.
