Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a coin mech of a coin rice mill, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a building interior of the coin rice mill. In the coin mech shown in FIG. 1, 1 is a coin insertion slot, 2 is a stone removal selection button, and this button is turned on when the stone removal device is passed. 3 is a selection button for “rice” or “mochi”, and the whiteness at that time is set by selecting the whiteness selection button 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes a selection switch for performing washing-free rice processing. Reference numeral 6 denotes an operation start switch. As shown in FIG. 2, the building of the coin milling machine according to the present invention includes a cabin A and a machine room B. Inside the machine room B, a charging hopper 11, a lifting machine 13 for a rice huller, a rice huller 14, a stone remover A device 15, a rice mill lifting device 16, a brown rice tank 17, a rice milling device 18, a non-washed rice processing machine 23, a white rice storage tank (hereinafter referred to as “white rice tank”) 21 (the outlet faces the cabin A), etc. The partition wall 28 of the cabin A and the machine room B is provided with a coin mech (operation panel) 25. A hull bag 27 is installed in the space behind the machine room B, and the chaff generated by the huller 14 is further removed. A pipe 26 for discharging outside the apparatus is installed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the customer stands in the cabin A side and throws the grains (rice cake, brown rice) brought by the customer into the inlet of the hopper 11. Then, a coin that can secure an operation time corresponding to the grain amount is inserted into the insertion slot 1 of the coin mech 25. Next, the whiteness selection button 4 provided on the coin mech 25 is selected to set the whiteness. When these setting preparations are completed and the operation start switch 6 is turned on, the control unit reads the number of inserted coins, calculates the operation time, and each unit of the rice milling facility starts operation over the operation time. And the grain thrown into the input hopper 11 is drawn out from the hopper 11 by the conveyance spiral 12. Presence / absence of grains in the hopper 11 is detected by a grain detection sensor (not shown) attached in the hopper 11. Next, the grain is conveyed upward by the hulling lifting device 13 and sent to the hulling machine 14. After the hulling, foreign substances, stones and the like are removed by the following stone removing device 15. Then, it is conveyed upward by the rice lifting and lowering device 16, put into the brown rice tank 17, and then sent to the rice polishing device 18 for rice polishing.

  By the way, a switching valve 19 is provided at the outlet of the rice milling device 18, and if the customer has not selected the selection switch 5 for performing the above-described washing-free rice processing, the white rice after the rice milling is discharged from the rice mill outlet 20 as it is. And stored in the white rice tank 21. The generated soot is accommodated in the soot bag 27 by a soot processing cyclone. On the other hand, when the customer has selected the selection switch 5 for performing the washing-free rice processing, the switching valve 19 is switched and sent to the washing-free rice processing machine 23 by the lifting device 22. The rinse-free rice that has been subjected to rinse-free rice processing is discharged from the rinse-free rice discharge port 24 and stored in the white rice tank 21.

  In addition, when the selection switch 5 is selected, the milling is performed based on the milling degree set in advance for washing-free rice processing even if the milling milling degree setting switch 4 for milling is selected. In this case, related equipment such as a compression plate of a precision machine that controls the degree of fineness is automatically controlled. As described above, the selection switch 5 for performing the washing-free rice processing is provided, and by pressing the selection switch 5, the input grain is polished and then supplied to the washing-free rice processing machine 23 and subjected to the washing-free rice processing. Therefore, there is no sense of incongruity with the operation method of the conventional coin rice milling machine, and washing-free rice processing can be easily performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the white rice polished by the rice milling device 18 is once transported upward by the lifting device 22 and provided at the outlet of the lifting device 22 (that is, at the top of the non-washing rice processing machine 23). The switching valve 30 can be configured to switch between a path for discharging the white rice as it is to the white rice tank 21 without passing through the non-washed rice processing machine 23 and a path for supplying the white rice to the non-washed rice processing machine 23. Moreover, as shown in FIG.5 and FIG.6, the input port 31 only for white rice is provided in the guest room side, and the white rice thrown into this input port 31 is conveyed to the non-washing rice processing machine 23 with the raising / lowering device 22, Here, the rice can be washed and stored in the white rice tank 21. If it does in this way, it will become possible not only to process the polished rice such as the brown rice which the customer brought, or the washing-free rice processing, but also to directly wash the own white rice using a coin polishing machine.

  Moreover, the coin rice mill of this invention is provided with the setting means which can set arbitrarily the processing amount of the above-mentioned rice milling process or washing-free rice processing. The input hopper 11 has means for measuring the weight of the input grain, and a charge per unit time or a processable time per unit amount is set in advance according to the type of grain. When it is calculated that the amount of input grain cannot be processed with respect to the amount of input for the specified milling process of the grain type specified by the customer (regular rice or non-washed rice process) The customer selects the normal rice processing or the non-washing rice processing by means of a means for invoking the selection of whether or not to perform the rice polishing, and the rice polishing processing or non-washing rice processing is performed based on the selection of the switch. As a result, even if the amount is insufficient with respect to the amount of grain that has been input, it is possible to process the polished rice or the non-washed rice according to the input amount without bringing back the untreated rice.

  In addition, when it is calculated that the amount of input grain cannot be processed with respect to the amount of input for the specified milled rice of the grain type specified by the customer, it is determined that the milled rice and unwashed rice are based on the unit price. Can be prorated and processed. Here is a specific example. For example, the input amount is X0. For ordinary rice, if the processable amount by the amount X1 is Y0, and for non-washed rice processing, if the processable amount by the amount X2 is Z0, the following conditional expression is established.

Z0 + Y0 = W (W: input amount)
Y0 = βX1Z0 = αX2X1 + X2 = X0
Here, the input amount X0 is 390 yen, and the grain input amount W is 30 kg. Further, the processable amount with respect to the above-mentioned amount of money is set to α = 0.07 and β = 0.1 in the case of ordinary polished rice more than non-washed rice. Solving the above relational expression under these conditions, X1 = 90, X2 = 300, Z0 = 21, Y0 = 9. In other words, it costs 429 yen when trying to wash 30 kg of grain, and because the amount of money is slightly insufficient at an input amount of 390 yen, 21 kg of 30 kg can be washed without washing, but the remaining 9 kg will be processed with regular rice polishing.

  When the input amount is 300 yen, X1 = 300 and Y0 = 30, and X2 and Z0 are both negative values. In other words, because the amount of input is insufficient, the entire 30 kg of rice is processed normally. As described above, since the processing is automatically performed by dividing the rice into clean rice and non-washed rice according to the input amount and the input amount, there is no troublesome calculation.

The above-described configuration and operation will be described as follows.
