Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention removes rice bran such as rice, wheat, buckwheat, etc. (from the germ, cocoon layer and starch layer, exfoliated from the grain, or fine powder mixed with seed coat, etc.). The present invention relates to a rice milling machine, a stirring tool provided in the rice milling machine, and a separation basket.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A bottomed cylindrical container having a large number of separation holes and containing rice is accommodated in a bottomed cylindrical container, and a stirring tool disposed in the separation basket is rotated by the power of a drive motor. Thus, a rice milling machine for milling rice is provided.
[0003]
When starting the rice milling with this rice mill, a desired amount of rice is put into the separation basket. For this purpose, conventional rice mills are equipped with a dedicated measuring cup as an accessory. The measuring cup is usually formed of a synthetic resin or the like in a size that can accommodate one unit of brown rice in a fully cut state, and is used once or more depending on the amount of polished rice. In other words, conventionally, the amount of rice to be fed into the separation basket is determined using a measuring cup as a guide.
[0004]
However, a rice mill with a dedicated measuring cup as an accessory costs for the measuring cup, so the cost of the entire rice mill must be increased. Moreover, not only is it difficult to place the measuring cup, but in the unlikely event that the measuring cup cannot be used due to loss or damage, it is possible to accurately put the desired amount of rice into the separation basket. Since it becomes difficult, the improvement is desired.

Is formed.
[0021]
The stirrer main body 42 has a multistage cylindrical shape in which the upper end is closed and the lower end is opened. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the stirrer main body 42 includes a plurality of, for example, four steps including, as the final step portion 49, a corner portion formed by an upper surface wall 42 b and a standing portion continuous downward from the peripheral edge. Portions 46 to 49 are arranged in a stepwise manner in the vertical direction. The widths of the upper surfaces of the respective step portions 46 to 48 below the final step portion 49 are so narrow that rice grains cannot be put on these upper surfaces, or go to the leading end in the exit width direction regardless of the width. It is good to incline so that it may fall so that a rice grain and a rice cake may not stay on it.
[0022]
The stepped portion formed by the stepped portions 46 to 49 may extend linearly in a vertical direction to a part of the outer peripheral surface of the stirrer main body 42, but in the case of the present embodiment, it is below the final stepped portion 49. The respective step portions 46 to 48 on the side are formed in an annular shape continuously in the circumferential direction of the stirring tool main body 42. Therefore, the stirring tool main body 42 has a stepped cylinder whose diameter gradually decreases from the lower end toward the upper surface. It is preferable that the stepped portions 46 to 48 have an annular shape in that the movement of the rice along the stirrer main body 42 is not hindered.
[0023]
Each of the step portions 46 to 49 is used as a guideline for the amount of rice to be put into the separation basket 31 (the amount of polished rice), and the height of the upper surface is the amount of rice cake removed from the rice by the polished rice. The amount of rice corresponding to the amount added to the amount of white rice that has been added is provided at substantially the same height as the height of the upper surface of the rice layer when it is put into the separation basket 31.
[0024]
Specifically, reference numeral L1 in FIG. 2 (B) indicates the upper surface of the rice layer when a sufficient amount of rice is obtained to obtain one white rice with the stirring tool 41 set in the separation basket 31. The upper surface of the stepped portion 46 is positioned at a height position corresponding to the rice layer upper surface height position L1. In FIG. 2B, symbol L2 indicates the height of the upper surface of the rice layer when the amount of rice necessary to obtain two portions of white rice is added in a state where the stirring tool 41 is set in the separation basket 31. The upper surface of the stepped portion 47 is located at a height position corresponding to the rice layer upper surface height position L2. The symbol L3 in FIG. 2 (B) indicates the height of the upper surface of the rice layer when the amount of rice necessary to obtain three rice grains is charged in a state where the stirring tool 41 is set in the separation basket 31. The upper surface of the stepped portion 48 is positioned at a height position corresponding to the rice layer upper surface height position L3. The symbol L4 in FIG. 2B indicates the height of the upper surface of the rice layer when the amount of rice necessary for obtaining four rice grains is added in a state where the stirring tool 41 is set in the separation basket 31. The upper surface of the stepped portion 49 is located at a height position corresponding to the rice layer upper surface height position L4.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 3B, a rice milling amount display 50 is provided on the upright surface of the lowermost step 46 so as to approach the upper surface of the step 46. A stepped portion 47 provided adjacent to the upper portion of the stepped portion 46 is provided with a rice milling amount display 51 near the upper surface of the stepped portion 47. A stepped portion 48 provided adjacent to the upper portion of the stepped portion 47 is provided with a rice milling amount display 52 near the upper surface of the stepped portion 48. The uppermost step 49 is provided with a milled rice amount display 53 near the upper surface of the step 49.
[0026]
Each rice milling amount display 50 to 53 is a character display indicating the amount of brown rice put into the separation basket 31 corresponding to the height position of the upper surface of the stepped portions 46 to 49 to which the rice milling is attached. In other words, the rice milling amount display 50 is a guideline display when adding “1 go” rice, the rice milling amount display 51 is a guideline display when adding “2 go” rice, and the rice milling amount display 52 is “3 go”. "A guide display when the amount of rice is added" and a milled rice amount display 53 are a reference display when the amount of "4 go" rice is input.
[0027]
These rice milling amount indications 50 to 53 may be omitted, but by visual recognition of them, the amount of rice that is removed from brown rice is added so that the amount of polished white rice becomes the specified number. The amount (milled rice amount) is excellent in that it is easy to recognize the step portion used as a guide when the separation basket 31 is charged.
[0028]
As shown in FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B), ribs 54 to 57 individually corresponding to the respective step portions 46 to 49 are integrally formed on the outer surface of the stirring tool main body 42, and among the outer surfaces, in particular, On the upper surface of the upper surface wall 42b, rice milling amount displays 58 to 61 respectively corresponding to the respective step portions 46 to 49 are provided. The rice milling amount displays 58 to 61 are all character displays.
[0029]
The ribs 54 to 56 are provided so as to extend in the vertical direction from the upper surface of the stepped portion of the stirring tool main body 42 to the upper surface of the upper surface wall 42b, and the ribs 57 are provided only on the upper surface of the upper surface wall 42b. The rib 54 is provided by connecting the step portion 46 and the corresponding milled rice amount display 58 to indicate this display 58, and the rib 55 connects the step portion 47 and the corresponding rice milling amount display 59 to indicate this display 59. Is provided. The rib 56 is provided by connecting the step portion 48 and the corresponding milled rice amount display 60 to indicate this display 60, and the rib 57 is provided by pointing to the rice milling amount display 60 corresponding to the step portion 49. As shown in FIG. 2B, the height of at least the upper surface wall 42b of the stirring tool main body 42 is not substantially covered with the rice layer even when rice is put in the separating basket 31 at the maximum. In position. Therefore, the rice milling amount displays 58 to 61 on the upper surface of the stirring tool main body 42 are visible from above.
[0030]
The lid 65 is formed in a substantially circular shape with a transparent synthetic resin, and is attached detachably by closing the upper end opening of the container 21 as shown in FIG. A spout hook portion 66 and a handle engaging body 67 are provided on the outer peripheral portion of the lid 65 so as to be separated from each other by 180 °. The lid 65 has a slanting posture in which the spout hooking portion 66 is forwardly lowered, hooks the hooking portion 66 on the flat lower surface of the spout 24 of the container 21, and then uses the spout 24 as a fulcrum. By pushing down and turning so that the combined body 67 side is lowered, the upper part of the handle 23 is elastically sandwiched between the lower part of the handle engaging body 67 and the separation basket 31 is covered and attached to the container 21. By attaching the lid 65, the overhanging flange 32 c is sandwiched between the upper end opening edge 21 c of the container 21 and the inner surface of the peripheral portion of the lid 65. The lid 65 is provided with a large number of vent holes 68 for releasing the heat of rice generated along with the milled rice to the outside of the container 21.
[0031]
Next, the case where brown rice is polished is demonstrated.
[0032]
First, the separation basket 31 is placed in the container 21 of the rice mill attachment 20 placed on the rice milling machine body 2 or detached from the rice milling machine body 2, and the overhanging flange 32 c of the basket 31 is the upper end opening edge of the container 21. It is accommodated in 21c until it is caught from above. Thereby, the separation car 31 is accommodated so as to be suspended in the container 21, and the upper part 27 a of the rotating shaft 27 is inserted into the central cylindrical body 33 of the car 31. Next, the stirring tool 41 is accommodated through the upper end opening in the separation car 31, and the shaft engaging member 43 is fitted and connected to the upper part 27 a of the rotating shaft 27 in the central cylindrical body 33. Thereafter, after putting a desired amount of brown rice into the separation basket 31, the lid 65 is attached to the upper end opening of the container 21, and the overhanging flange 32 c of the separation basket 31 is connected to the upper end opening edge 21 c of the container 21 and the lid 65. The separation basket 31 is held so as not to move in the vertical direction or the circumferential direction.
[0033]
The rice mill attachment 20 assembled in the above procedure is attached to the rice mill main body 2. In this attached state, the driving side coupling 10 and the driven side coupling 28 are engaged with each other and connected to a state in which power can be transmitted from the rice milling machine main body 2 side to the stirrer 41. After the above setting is completed, the rice milling amount switch 14 is pressed according to the amount of brown rice put into the separation basket 31 and the rice milling mode switch 15 is pressed, then the start switch 12 is pressed, Start driving. Thereby, the rice milling accompanied with the separation of rice bran by dry structure as follows is carried out.
[0034]
That is, the drive mechanism 5 in the rice mill main body 2 is operated, and the rotation of the drive shaft 8 is transmitted to the rotary shaft 27 via the couplings 10 and 28, and the stirring tool 41 is moved together with the shaft 27 in the separation basket 31. It is rotated by. Therefore, the rice in the separation basket 31 is pushed and stirred toward the car peripheral wall 32a while receiving the rotational force by the pair of stirring portions 44 of the stirring tool 41.
[0035]
Thus, the rice in the separation basket 31 is pressed along the inner peripheral surface of the car peripheral wall 32a of the separation car 31 in a stationary state, so that the rice is moved along the inner peripheral surface, and the upper side of the inner peripheral surface of the car peripheral wall 32a. And moved toward the center of the separation car 31 in the radial direction while being moved toward the car bottom wall 32b of the separation car 31 by gravity and stirred while convection in the vertical direction.
[0036]
By the rubbing of the rice accompanying such stirring and the rubbing of the rice with the separation basket 31 and the stirring tool 41, the rice cake is removed from the brown rice, and the rice grains from which the rice cake has been removed remain in the separation basket 31. . The generated basket passes through the separation holes of the car peripheral wall 32a and the car bottom wall 32b and is discharged into the container 21.
[0037]
By the way, when the desired amount of rice to be polished is put into the separation basket 31 as described above, the rolling tool 41 set in the basket 31 is provided with each step 46 provided in the rolling tool body 42. To 49, and rice milling amount displays 50 to 53 corresponding to them individually, can be used as an indication of the amount of rice to be put into the separation basket 31.
[0038]
For example, when it is desired to obtain a polished white rice by polishing, the upper surface of the rice layer formed by the rice put into the separation basket 31 is substantially the same height as the lowest step 46. The brown rice may be introduced using the step 46 as a guide. FIG. 4 (A) shows a plan view of a state in which the amount of brown rice corresponding to the amount of white rice to be obtained by rice milling in this way is introduced. In addition, the parallel diagonal line in FIG. 4 (A) (B) shows the layer X of the thrown-in rice. Then, in this charging completion state, the lower end of the rib 54 that reaches the top wall 42b and continues to the stepped portion 46 is continuous with the rice layer, and this state is as shown in FIG. Visible.
[0039]
Similarly, for example, when it is desired to obtain 3 rice grains by polishing, the height of the step 48 at the second highest position from the top of the rice layer X formed by the rice introduced into the separation basket 31 is approximately the same. Thus, the brown rice may be introduced using the stepped portion 48 as a guide. FIG. 4 (B) shows a plan view of a state in which the amount of brown rice corresponding to the amount of 3 rice grains to be obtained in this way is added. In this charged state, the step portions 46 and 47 are embedded in the rice layer X, and the lower end of the rib 56 that reaches the upper surface wall 42b is continuous with the step portion 48 and the rice layer is continuous. As seen from FIG. 4B.
[0040]
As can be seen from these examples, the stirrer 42 can be used as a guide for measuring the amount of rice that is put into the separation basket 31 and polished. Therefore, it is not necessary to measure with a measuring cup in advance, and rice can be put into the separation basket 31 using an appropriate container or directly from a rice bag. Therefore, since the measuring cup (for measuring parts) can be dispensed with, it is useful for the low cost of the rice milling machine 1 and does not require a place for measuring parts.
[0041]
Moreover, the desired amount of rice can be easily accommodated in the separation basket 31 as described above by using the stepped portions 46 to 49 and the milled rice amount displays 50 to 53 individually corresponding thereto as a guide. In particular, the rice milling amount indications 58 to 61 and the ribs 54 to 57 individually corresponding to the steps 46 to 49 can be visually recognized from above the stirring tool body 43 regardless of the rice layer X introduced into the separation basket 31. High reliability as a guideline for rice input.
[0042]
In addition, the step portions 46 to 49 are not provided at a height position corresponding to the upper surface of the rice layer formed by the white rice finished by the rice milling operation, but actually include the portion of the rice cake removed by the rice milling. It is provided corresponding to the upper surface of the rice layer made by the brown rice to be introduced. Therefore, any one of the step portions 46 to 49 can be selected, and a desired amount of white rice can be polished from the desired amount of rice put into the separation basket 31 and used as a guide, and finished with high accuracy. it can.
[0043]
6 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention. Since this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, the same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Hereinafter, the components different from those of the first embodiment are described. Will be described.
[0044]
This 2nd Embodiment is comprised so that it may replace with a stirring tool and may use a separation basket as a standard which measures the quantity of the rice accommodated in a separation basket and polished. For this purpose, all the stepped portions of the stirrer 41, each rice milling amount display, and each rib are omitted, and the separation basket 31 is configured as follows.
[0045]
As shown in FIGS. 6, 7 (B), and 8 (B), the basket peripheral wall 32 a of the separation basket 31 includes a plurality of pieces used as a guideline for the amount of rice (milled rice) to be put into the separation basket 31. The step portions 71 to 74 are arranged in a stepwise manner in the vertical direction. In addition, the milled rice amount display indicating the amount of rice put into the separation basket 31 corresponding to the height position of the upper surface of the step portions 71 to 74 corresponds to each of the step portions 71 to 74 as follows. Is provided.
[0046]
As shown in FIG. 8 (B), the milled rice amount display includes the milled rice amount displays 75 to 78 provided on the upper surface of the standing portions connected to the upper surfaces of the step portions 71 to 74, respectively, and FIG. 7 (A). As shown in FIGS. 8A and 9, rice milling amount displays 79 to 82 provided on the upper surfaces of the respective stepped portions 71 to 74 are used. The milled rice amount display 75 to 78 is a character display of “1 go”, “2 go”, “3 go”, “4 go”, and the milled rice amount display 79 to 82 is the sum of the rice to be input in the number of points. It is an image display representing numbers. The milled rice amount displays 79 to 82 are provided in one or more places, for example, four places.
[0047]
The height of the upper surface of each step portion 71 to 74 is the height of the upper surface of the rice layer when the amount of rice corresponding to the amount obtained by adding the amount of rice bran removed from the rice by the polished rice to the amount of polished white rice is added. And at substantially the same height positions L1 to L4.
[0048]
The stepped portions formed by the stepped portions 71 to 74 may extend linearly in a vertical direction to a part of the inner peripheral surface of the car peripheral wall 32a of the separation car 31, but in the case of this embodiment, The step portions 71 to 74 are formed in an annular shape continuously in the circumferential direction of the separation basket 31. Therefore, the car peripheral wall 32a forms a stepped cylinder whose diameter gradually decreases from the upper end of the separation car 31 to the car bottom wall 32b. Making the stepped portions 71 to 74 annular is preferable in that the strength of the separation cage 31 is increased and the movement of rice along the inner circumferential surface of the cage circumferential wall 32a is not hindered.
[0049]
As described above, the stepped portions 71 to 74 of the separation basket 31 are formed in an annular shape, so that when the separation basket 31 is set in the container 21, the peripheral wall 21 a of the container 21 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7B. The gap G between the car peripheral wall 32a can be gradually widened toward the bottom wall 21b of the container 21. For this reason, the rice bran generated along with the milled rice can be easily discharged into the gap G from the separation hole opened in the car peripheral wall 32a, and the rice cake storage volume in the container 21 can be increased. Also, the width of the upper surface of each of the step portions 71 to 74 is so narrow that rice grains cannot be placed on these upper surfaces, or is inclined so as to decrease toward the front end in the width direction regardless of the width. And it is good to form so that a rice grain and koji may not stay on it. The configuration other than the points described above is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0050]
In the rice mill 1 of the second embodiment, when a desired amount of rice to be polished is put into the separation basket 31, it is provided in the separation basket 31 in a state where the stirring tool 41 is set in the basket 31. The stepped portions 71 to 74 and the milled rice amount displays 79 to 82 corresponding to them individually can be used as an indication of the amount of rice to be introduced.
[0051]
For example, when it is desired to obtain 3 rice grains by polishing, the upper surface of the rice layer formed by the rice put into the separation basket 31 is approximately the same height as the step 73 having the second height from the top. In addition, brown rice may be introduced using the stepped portion 73 as a guide. FIG. 9 is a plan view showing a state in which brown rice in an amount commensurate with the amount of white rice to be obtained by milling in this way is introduced. In addition, the parallel diagonal line in FIG. 9 shows the rice layer X put. Then, in this charging completion state, the step portions 71 and 72 located below the step portion 73 used as a guide are buried in the rice layer X, but the step portion 73 positioned so as to be continuous with the upper surface of the rice layer X. The rice milling amount display 81 attached to the upper surface of the rice bran and the rice milling amount display 82 located on the upper side thereof can be visually recognized as shown in FIG.
[0052]
As can be seen from this example, the separation basket 31 can be used as a guide for measuring the amount of rice that is put into the separation basket 31 and polished. In this case, the rice does not need to be measured in advance with a measuring cup, and can be put into the separation basket 31 using a suitable container or directly from the rice bag.
