When an operation state signal is input, a line switching signal is output in order to transfer an object on the display unit 46 to the display unit 47.

 The operation of the above example will be described.

Grains harvested in the field, for example, paddy, are transported by trucks or the like, and thrown into the pit A. Next, the data of the received grain, that is, the customer name, the date of receipt, and the type of receipt are entered in the data input section 52.
For example, coded data management computer
Enter 51. These data are stored in the memory of the computer 51.

Assuming that Chokomi destination consignee grain is determined by the operation signal by the Chokomi switch 42a operated to grain drying section 4 _1, its contents are displayed on the display unit of the operation panel surface F, simultaneously Chokomi destination,
That grain drying section 4 ₁ of the display unit 46 _first display data signal is outputted, it is displayed as "Sato 09.10 Koshihikari 28.0" on the display unit 46 _1. Incidentally, by the Chokomi switch 42 operated, the output Chokomi elevators 41 and Chokomi conveyors 39 drive signals, consignee cereals is intended to be conveyed Chokomi to grain drying section 4 _1.

Meanwhile, grain displayed "Suzuki 09.09 Akitakomachi 15.0" effect on the display unit 47 the _third cooling tank 5 ₃ grain drying device B ₃ is that has already dried is completed, and ends the predetermined cooling step, Transfer to paddy tank C. The dried spent grain discharge conveyor 36, through which driven by a discharging operation signal from the cooling tank ₃ by the discharge switch 42b is transferred to the storage hopper C. Upon receiving the discharge operation signal, the data management computer 51 determines the discharge source, reads out the grain data from the memory,
The display unit of the discharge destination (display unit 48 in this case) is selected together with the data display of the operation unit F side display, and the grain data is transmitted. When the end of transportation is determined based on the operation state signal (specifically, a rice non-detection signal from the rice flow sensor), the data of the discharge source is stored in the memory unit of the data management computer 51 as empty information. Although described display example of crop conveying from cooling tank ₃ in the above example to paddy tank C,
The same applies to the case where the transfer is performed between a predetermined grain drying unit 4 and the cooling tank 5 or between the cooling tank 5 and another grain drying unit 4.

Throw Incidentally, grain drying apparatus B ₁ that is specified as above, to obtain a reservoir 1 Chokomi signal in ON of the Chokomi switch 42a, the elevator 15 lifting receives Chokomi grain boss, this time The switching valve 17 of the port 16 is switched to be able to supply the first opening a side, and through the communication pipe 18 and the circulation transfer gutter 20,
It is stuck in the storage unit 1 of the grain drying unit 4. When the amount of the received grain is less than or equal to one volume of the storage unit, the drying is started by turning on the setting switch 50 to the standard mode and turning on the drying switch 42c before starting the drying. That is, the respective parts of the grain drying section 4 are activated, and the grains gradually flowing down the grain distribution lower passages 6, 6,. 1 opening a, transfer gutter 20, rotating diffuser 23
Is circulated and transferred into the storage unit 1 through the storage unit 1 and tempered in the storage unit 1.

During the repetition of such a drying step, the finish water value reaches a preset value, and the drying is completed. When discharging from the storage unit 1, set the discharge switch 42d of the operation unit F to O
N is preferable, and in response to the drying section discharge command signal, the switching valve 17 is switched to be set to be able to supply grain to the second opening B side. Therefore, the grain lifted by the elevator 15 is transferred to the cooling unit 25 in the cooling tank 5 through the second opening b, the transfer gutter 22, and the rotary diffusion plate 24. Here, it is left to cool by being left for a predetermined time, so that the grain temperature is reduced.

When the predetermined discharge switch 42e is turned on around the time when the cereal in the tank 5 is allowed to cool for a predetermined time, the cereal is transferred to the next paddy tank C to the paddy mill D, where dehulling and paddy rice sorting are performed. Will be performed.

Also, if the amount of grain received is greater than the storage unit 1 volume,
The 2 × mode is selected by the standard / 2 × drying mode setting switch 50, and the following drying process is performed. That is, in the same manner as described above, the ditching start signal from the ditching switch 42a causes the dipping into the storage unit 1 to be performed, and the expiration sensor of the storage unit 1 is turned on.
Then, the driving of the setting conveyor 39 is cut off, and the setting process temporarily stops. Next, the switching valve 17 is automatically switched to the second opening part B side, and the received grain is inserted into the cooling part 25 on the cooling tank 5 side.

Once all the grains to be dried have been loaded,
The drying switch 42c of the operation unit F is turned ON. By the setting signal from the changeover switch 50 and the switch 42c signal, the bottom valve 30,
30 is opened and the grain in the tank 5 is discharged and transferred to the discharge gutter 26,2.
It flows downward from 6 parts and falls into the storage unit 1. On the other hand, the cereal in the storage unit 1 is supplied to the lower discharge valves 11,11.
The dried grains collected in the grain collecting section 3 are gradually fed out and dried in the ventilation drying section 2 with the rotation of the air through the elevating machine 15 and supplied from the dumping port 16 to the second opening section B side to be cooled. The tank 5 is equally dropped by the rotary diffusion plate 24, and the cooling section 25 of the tank 5 functions as a refining section together with the lower storage section 1. The grain transferred by the discharge conveyor 36 is supplied into the paddy tank C, and is supplied from the tank C to the paddy apparatus D after completion of the subsequent paddy step.

As described above, when the necessary data is input together with the receipt of the grain at the operation unit F, the data is transmitted to the display unit set for each device in accordance with the transport of the grain, and it is easy to confirm the customer, the variety, and the like.

In this embodiment, an example in which the display unit is set for each of the grain drying unit 4, the cooling tank 5, and the paddy tank C is shown. Setting is more convenient.

In transmitting data to the display unit of each device, it is preferable to obtain a grain transport end signal (for example, a grain transport end signal of a paddy flow sensor or the like) and to perform this.

When data is changed during operation control, such as during a drying operation, the data is arbitrarily rewritten. However, the data management computer 51 temporarily stores the previous contents and performs data management after the fact. Is easy.

In the figure, G is a remote control operation unit for transmitting a signal for controlling the operation of the equipment to each unit such as a drying unit. In accordance with the operation, the operation of each unit can be performed instead of the operation command from the operation unit F, and the operation can be performed at an arbitrary position regardless of the place.
