The management portable terminal 5 and the manager portable terminal 6 are connected via an Internet line.
Further, the dried rice cake is discharged from the grain dryer 2 to the rice cake sorter 3 and the brown rice sorted by the rice cake sorter 3 is supplied to the rice rice sorter 4.

  The grain dryer 2 includes a weigh scale (not shown) for measuring the weight of the stretched grain (rice cake) or a tension amount sensor (not shown) for measuring the tension capacity. When discharging to the sorter 3, the weight is subtracted.

  The rice hull sorting machine includes a hulling portion 14 for hulling and a sorting portion 15 for sorting rice bran and brown rice, and switches whether the brown rice sorted by the sorting portion 15 is discharged from the first exit 12 or circulated in the machine. A discharge circulation switching valve (not shown) is provided.

  The rice sorting machine 4 supplies the sized brown rice obtained by sorting and removing the waste rice from the brown rice crushed by the cylindrical rotary sorting net 4a extending in the vertical direction to the bag H placed on the weighing machine 10, and a predetermined amount ( For example, when it reaches 30 kg), the supply is automatically stopped. Then, the operator unloads the bag H from the weighing machine 10 and packs the bag. The number of sachets can be confirmed by information communication, and the rice selector 4 is also configured to allow data communication so that the harvest area and grain amount can be input in advance from the work management portable terminal 5 such as a tablet, As shown in FIG. 2, a display example of the processing information by drying displays the number of bags per one field in an easy-to-understand manner according to the processing amount (the number of bags by the rice selector 4 and the hulling time).

  Referring to FIG. 2, the grain information (moisture value, tension weight, post-drying weight, etc.) of a plurality of grain dryers, the product weight selected by the rice sorter 4 (the amount of sized brown rice) and the weight outside the product ( Waste rice weight) is displayed. The number of bags actually counted is displayed in the remarks column or the bag number display column.

  The time for exchanging and replacing the parts of the sorting mechanism and the like can be easily understood by converting the number of bags by the rice selector 4. That is, every time the number of bags packed reaches a set number (for example, 1000 bags), the maintenance management mobile terminal 5 may be displayed on the work management portable terminal 5.

  Estimated time to complete the rice hull sorting operation is to calculate the efficiency of the rice sorting machine 4 by counting the number of bags or product weight for a predetermined time from the start of the hulling, for example 5 minutes, and the grain of the grain dryer The amount is converted and displayed on the work management portable terminal 5.

In the present embodiment, for example, the culling sorting operation is started by switching the discharge / circulation switching valve from the circulation side to the discharge side so that the brown rice can be discharged from the first outlet 12. . Moreover, it is good also as a structure which switches the discharge | circulation switching valve from the discharge | emission side to the circulation side, and is set to the time when brown rice is no longer always discharged | emitted from the 1st exit.

  A charge tank 3a with a rotary valve 3b capable of adjusting the feed amount is provided between the first outlet 12 of the hulling sorter 3 and the supply port 13 of the rice selector 4. The maximum feed amount of the rotary valve 3b is adjusted to the maximum capacity of the rice selection machine 4, and when supplying to the rice selection machine 4, the tank is always filled and supplied to the rice selection machine 4 by the rotation of the rotary valve 3b.

  The amount supplied by the rotary valve 3b is converted into weight, and the amount of waste rice separated by the rice selector 4 can be calculated as the difference from the amount of brown rice packed in bags. Yield can be easily grasped. Further, it may be configured to perform good sorting by interlocking with the rotational speed of the rotary sorting network 4a of the rice sorting machine 4.

  On the work list screen of the mobile terminal 5 for work management, a hulling button (adjustment button) is provided, a work after drying is selected from the work list, and the hulling button is depressed to depress the hulling button. (Or sorter) data collection starts, the product weight shelf automatically displays data on the weight shelf (or during adjustment), and the product weight is automatically written when the work is completed. Is possible.

  The operation time of the rice selection machine 4 can be calculated clearly by converting the number of bags from when the weight display changes from “0” to “1”.

  Also, the count is stopped when the weight display of the rice selector 4 stops increasing or decreasing, starts counting when the weight display changes from “0” to “1”, and the motor of the rice selector 4 is stopped. The increase in the weight display at the time is not counted, and the work time can be clearly calculated by starting the count when the weight display changes from “0” to “1” by starting the motor.

  In addition, when the rice selector 4 has a function of displaying the number of bags or controlling the number of rotations (display) of the rotation selection screen 4a, the working time can be clearly calculated by changing the count according to the change.

(Another configuration example)
Next, another configuration example in which data is linked by an IC tag will be described.
Record the data measured by a dryer equipped with a weigh scale and a moisture meter on an IC tag and paste it on the brown rice bag used in the rice selection machine 4. By configuring so as to be counted by the controller of the rice selection machine 4, traceability management and yield management from harvesting to shipping are possible.

  In this case, since the rice sorter 4 is equipped with the moisture meter 16 for sized granulated brown rice, it can be managed with a highly accurate finish moisture value only by brown rice. As well as being used as unified management data for field crop management support, it becomes possible to manage traceability, yield management from harvesting to shipping, and unified management.

  In addition, the rice sorting machine 4 is equipped with a waste rice sensor that detects the amount of waste rice so that the waste rice rate can be managed, and is stored in the IC tag as additional information when weighing is completed, and the field crop management support is integrated. By utilizing it as management data, traceability management, yield management from harvesting to shipping, and unified management thereof are possible.

The portable terminal 5 is displayed in a series of table formats in a dry processing unit in an easy-to-read manner, and the harvesting result (brown rice amount) for each producer can be easily grasped by the quantity of the product packed in a bag of 30 kg.

  Further, based on the information on the amount of cereal grains in the grain dryer 2, the estimated number of bags packed by the rice selector 4 is calculated and displayed on the portable terminal 5 for work management during the pallet sorting operation. It is easy for the administrator to make a work prediction using the predicted quantity as a guide, and the work time can be easily predicted.

  For example, the weight of the straw at the end of drying is 1600 kg, the number of bags packed in 5 minutes from the start of the bagging operation is 5 bags (about 150 kg), and the amount of straw discharged from the grain dryer 2 is In the case of 160 kg, the time required to pack the remaining bag can be calculated as about 45 minutes.

  Moreover, the predicted number of bags with high accuracy can be calculated by predicting the number of bags based on the amount of brown rice obtained by converting the amount of rice bran paste of the grain dryer.

  In addition, it is possible to predict the work time of the hull sorting operation by providing a predicted work time calculating means for calculating the time required until the end by counting the number of bags packed for a predetermined time from the start of weighing of the rice selector 4. it can.

  Further, the rice selection machine 4 is provided with a supply tank 4a with a feed amount adjustment valve, receives brown rice from the rice hull sorter 3, and calculates the difference between the feed amount of the supply tank 4a and the bag packing amount of the rice selection machine 4. By providing the small rice amount calculating means, the amount of small rice can be grasped with high accuracy.

  Moreover, by providing the administrator portable terminal 6 that receives information distribution from the work management portable terminal 5 every time a predetermined number of bags packed by the rice selection machine 4 are accumulated, for every fixed work amount (for example, 50 bags). By adopting a configuration in which the number of bags is distributed to the administrator portable terminal 6, the administrator can easily manage the hulling sorting operation from the progress of bagging.

The technical idea of the grain preparation facility of this embodiment will be described in detail.
It is desirable for the administrator to be able to predict the time required for the operation of sorting the rice cake that has been dried by the grain dryer 2 with the rice cake sorter 3 and the rice selection machine 4. Therefore, the work time required for the bagging work is predicted from the number of bags packed in the first set time after the start of the rice selection work. As a result, the manager can easily schedule the entire work at harvest time.

  What is important for the manager is the amount of product weight (sized granulated brown rice) to be packaged. Therefore, by inputting the number of bags actually packed and sized granulated brown rice to the portable terminal 5 for work management, for example, it becomes possible to grasp the yield for each farm field, and the manager uses the information effectively. it can.
