  The rice milling equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

  The building 1 is partitioned by a partition wall 2 into a user room 3 where a user enters and exits and a machine room 4 in which each part of the apparatus is arranged.

  On the user room 3 side, there are a loading hopper 5 for loading the brown rice brought by the user, a liftable opening / closing door 6 for opening and closing the loading port of the loading hopper 5, and a degree of whiteness selection for the user to select the degree of whitening A switch 7, a charge inlet 8, a change return opening 9, a display screen 10 for displaying the status of the rice milling operation, and a white rice tank 11 for storing the polished rice that has undergone the rice milling process are provided.

  On the machine room 4 side, there are provided a rotary valve 12 for feeding out the brown rice put into the charging hopper 5, a stone removing machine 13 for removing stones mixed in the brown rice, and a rice milling machine 14 for processing the polished brown rice. Further, a first elevator 15 for supplying brown rice fed from the rotary valve 12 to the stone remover 13 and a second elevator 16 for supplying brown rice subjected to stone removal by the stone remover 13 to the rice mill 14 are provided. In addition, a white rice tank 11 is provided that stores the polished rice that has been subjected to the polishing of the rice by the rice mill 14.

  The control unit 17 that controls the rice milling equipment includes a coin sensor 18 that detects a charge that is input to the charge input port 8, a milling degree selection switch 7 that selects non-washed rice, upper white, standard, and milling, and a charging hopper. Input information of a grain presence / absence detection sensor 19 for detecting the presence / absence of brown rice in 5 is input. Further, output information to each part of the apparatus such as the rice mill 14 and display information on the display screen 10 are output from the control unit.

  Next, rice milling operation will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, the normal rice milling mode, which is a normal rice milling operation, will be described.
When the user inputs a charge, the opening / closing door 6 opens. When the user puts the brown rice brought into the feeding hopper 5 and operates the desired milling degree selection switch 7, the rice milling operation is started. Then, the number of rice milling operations is counted.

  Usually, the rice milling operation is performed for the time corresponding to the input fee. For example, assuming that one unit price is one hundred yen, the rice milling operation is performed for a time (for example, one minute) that can process about 10 kg of rice per hundred yen. Then, when an operation time commensurate with the amount of money to be invested (for example, 3 minutes when 300 yen is introduced), the rice milling operation stops during the rice milling operation, that is, even if the brown rice that has been introduced still exists. In this case, when the user inputs an additional fee and operates the milling degree selection switch 7, the rice milling operation is resumed.

  When the grain presence / absence detection sensor 19 detects that the input brown rice has become less than the set amount during the operation time commensurate with the input fee, the rice polishing operation (finish operation) for processing the remaining brown rice is performed and the rice operation is stopped. . In addition, when the driving | running time for a charge passes during this completion | finish driving | operation, the whole rice polishing process is carried out, without stopping rice polishing operation.

  After the operation is stopped through the end operation, when an input charge more than the charge corresponding to the operation time, that is, a surplus input charge is generated, it is returned to the change return port 9 as change.

  Next, a so-called service rice milling mode in which the rice milling operation can be performed for a longer time than the operation time corresponding to the input charge for each set number of times will be described.

  When the user enters a fee and operates the milling degree selection switch 7 to start the rice milling operation, the cumulative number counted before the user uses has reached a set number (for example, 50 times). Suppose. At this time, if it has been detected that an input amount (for example, 200 yen or more for two unit prices) that is greater than the minimum fee that is one unit price is input, the display screen 10 displays “ "Win" is displayed (see FIG. 6). Then, the control unit 17 performs control so that only the charge for one unit price is withdrawn and the operation time for three unit prices can be performed. That is, an operation time corresponding to a charge of three unit prices can be performed with a charge of one unit price, and a subtraction of two unit prices becomes a time zone for free rice milling operation. When the time for the above-described free rice milling operation by the service rice milling operation has passed, if brown rice that has not yet been treated is detected, normal rice milling operation based on the charge that was put in before the start of the rice milling operation is performed. Transition. Further, when the service rice milling operation is carried out, the accumulated number of rice milling operations that have been counted until then is cleared, and the number of new rice milling operations is counted.

  Here, when the user performs the driving, even if the accumulated number of times of the rice polishing operation that has been counted has reached the set number of times, the user starts the rice polishing operation only by inputting the minimum charge for one unit price. If it has, the service rice milling operation is not performed, and control is performed so that it can be deferred to the next user's rice milling operation. This is because it is not necessary to extend the operation time with the service for users who are willing to perform rice milling for only one unit price. This is so that the service rice milling operation can be carried out for a so-called large user who performs rice milling operation for two unit prices or more.

  The count of the number of service rice polishing operations in the present embodiment is a configuration that does not count because the same user is used when the above-described rice polishing operation due to running out of money is resumed. . Moreover, it is not necessary to count the normal rice milling operation with the minimum charge for one unit price, or it may be performed. This can be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the rice milling facility. Further, the manager of the rice milling facility can arbitrarily set the extended time for the service rice milling operation.

  Further, the service rice milling operation can be performed every time the accumulated amount of money (integrated amount) input reaches the set amount other than the accumulated number of times of rice milling operation (FIG. 6).

  In addition, the service rice milling operation mode of the present embodiment is configured to perform operation time for a plurality of unit prices by deducting a charge for one unit price. When the process is completed, the so-called free service rice milling operation may be performed in which all the charged charges are returned.

  The service rice milling operation of the present embodiment is performed every cumulative number (for example, every 50 times) or every cumulative amount (for example, every 10,000 yen) in order to make a simple program. It may be set by the control unit 17 as shown in FIG. That is, the ratio of performing the service rice polishing operation may be a certain ratio with respect to the normal rice operation (for example, service operation less than 10 times for the normal rice polishing operation or service rice polishing for the cumulative amount of 100,000 yen). Driving 10 times or less). That is, depending on the case, the rice milling operation may be service rice milling operation twice in succession. It is assumed that the service rice milling operation according to the cumulative number of times and the cumulative amount of money according to the present embodiment is also included in the above-mentioned concept of a certain ratio.

  Alternatively, the accumulated number of times and the accumulated amount may be used in combination, and the service rice milling operation may be performed when it reaches whichever comes first.

  By carrying out such service operation, it is possible to attract the user's interest and promote the use of the rice milling equipment.

  In addition, the service operation of the present embodiment has been described with respect to the rice milling equipment dedicated to brown rice that treats brown rice, but the fee-type rice milling equipment that mills rice bran and the rice mill that treats both rice bran and brown rice are processed. It can also be applied to various grain processing equipment such as rice milling equipment.

  Moreover, although the rice milling equipment of this Embodiment is provided with the change return port 9 which can return the input charge which is not used for the rice milling operation, service rice milling operation is applicable also to the rice milling equipment which does not have a change return function. In this case, when the user enters the minimum charge (one unit price) before starting the rice milling operation, a win display is displayed, and before the rice milling operation starts or the free rice milling operation time zone by the service rice milling operation ends. Until the end of time, the charge input port 8 may be locked by a lock mechanism (not shown) so as to restrict the input of additional charges.
