  Embodiments specifically configured based on the above technical idea will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(The entire rice selection system)
As shown in FIG. 1, the grain selection configuration by the rice selection machine is a grain dryer A that dries and discharges rice cake, and a rice cake machine B that receives the rice cake from this grain dryer A and sorts the rice cake. And the rice sorting machine C that separates the broken rice and receives the finished brown rice and packs the sized particles in the brown rice every predetermined amount so as to be linked and controllable, and the sorting result of the rice sorting machine C An external terminal 1 such as a portable terminal for information processing is provided.

(Rice selection machine)
As shown in FIG. 2, the rice separator C packs a predetermined amount of sized particles with a measuring instrument F provided in the bagging portion E, and discharges and stores non-sized particles such as immature rice. The external terminal 1 constitutes a rice selection information management system that performs various information processing based on selection information such as the progress of weighing displayed on the operation panel G provided in the rice selection machine C.

(Management system)
As shown in FIG. 3, an input / output block diagram of the rice selection system example 1, the management system takes in the sorting information based on the measurement from the display on the operation panel G of the rice selection machine C and transmits it by short-range wireless transmission. The communication unit 2 includes an offline controller, and the external terminal 1 that receives the sizing selection information from the communication unit 2 and performs information processing based on the non-sized storage amount by the operator input.

  In this case, communication by an off-line controller that reads the LED display of the packed sized amount displayed on the operation panel G of the rice sorting machine C or the display signal thereof and controls communication of near field communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The sized bagging process is transmitted to the external terminal 1 via the unit 2, and non-sized measurement and data input are performed by an operator operation.

  By adding the communicator 2 as described above for the rice sorter C, the sized and non-sized metric values can be displayed on the external terminal 1, so that leakage about the selected sized particles is possible. The product value is comparatively low compared to sizing and the operator can operate weighing and data input for a small amount of non-sized particles. By simply connecting the short-range communication unit 2a using an off-line controller, it is possible to obtain the sorting information without omission by reducing the cost burden without installing a dedicated non-sized measuring instrument.

(Selection information)
The sorting information of the sizing is detected when the measured value by the measuring instrument F reaches a separately set target amount for bagging, and is totalized by counting the number of times of bagging until the end of sorting and the target amount for bagging. Calculate the grain amount.

  Specifically, as will be described in detail later, the rice selector C is provided with a weighing progress indicator on the operation panel G or the like for displaying the progress of weighing in bagging, and the bagging timing for each bag. By counting the number of bagging based on the signal of the weighing progress indicator or its display operation, the sorting result based on the number of bagging can be obtained.

  For example, a plurality of LEDs are arranged side by side to form a weighing progress indicator, the number of blinking LEDs is sequentially increased as the filling of the bag is progressed, and all LEDs are controlled to blink when the target amount for bagging is reached. By determining that the number of LED indications has become zero by exchanging, the count is counted as one bag, and is transmitted to the external terminal 1 via the communication unit 2 each time the count is made.

  Since the external terminal 1 can obtain the number of bagging by accumulating the counts up to the end of sorting, the total amount of bagging can be calculated based on the target amount of bagging. For immature rice, the operator can manage all sorting results including immature rice by weighing and inputting the data.

  As another system input / output block diagram is shown in FIG. 4, by integrating the communication unit 2a in the control unit H of the rice sorting machine C in advance, the packaging information can be acquired stably and smartly by integration. it can.

  The amount of sized rice and the amount of central rice is sent to the external terminal 1 for each bagging, and the operator separately measures the amount of immature rice that has been sorted and discharged by the second rice sorter C2. Thus, by configuring the measured value of immature rice to be input to the external terminal 1, the external terminal 1 can obtain the sorting information for the sized amount, the amount of central rice, and the immature rice without omission.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the front view of the main part of the combined rice selection configuration is shown in FIG. 5B. By transmitting to the external terminal 1, the selection information can be obtained by the external terminal 1 without requiring operator intervention such as weighing work.

As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the top screen example shows the results of all sorting processes, that is, the volume of sized, middle rice and immature rice. Displayed as a number, or by changing the unit button, each bagging amount is displayed. The number of bags is displayed as an integer by rounding down the decimals, and the weight display displays the actual weight by subtracting the bag weight. About immature rice, it displays based on the input data by the operator.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the volume of sized particles according to the field is calculated by dividing the sized metric value by the area ratio according to the harvested field name of the grain and the area data according to the field. Apportion and display. Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), an example of display of the yield by field-specific correction makes it possible to grasp the field-by-field yield in accordance with the substance by setting the correction factor for the field-specific cropping situation at the time of harvest.
