【００３６】
本発明でいう表示部は、第１表示部３５を示し、報知部は、第２表示部３６及び警報装置３７を示す。また、前記切換制御部、選別筒適合判定部、第１目合判定部、第２目合判定部及び演算部は、前記演算制御部３９を示す。なお、第１目合判定部及び第２目合判定部については、後述する第２の実施の形態で用いる。
【００３７】
次に、第１の実施の形態の作用を説明する。本実施の形態での穀物サンプルは、「籾」とし、以下「籾」という。
【００３８】
上述の自主検定装置１は、電源が「ＯＮ」されると、前記各選別筒１２，１３は図示しない駆動部からの駆動力を受けて断面８角形の中心を軸として回転する（ステップ１）。
【００３９】
次に、作業者は、前記粒選別部１１に装着した各選別筒１２，１３の目合いを前記入力部３４から入力する。この入力された各目合いのデータは、前記入出力回路３８と前記演算制御部３９を介し、前記ＲＡＭ４１に選別筒１２，１３の各目合いとして記憶される（ステップ２）。
【００４０】
次いで、前記演算制御部３９は、前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶した各選別筒１２，１３の目合いを前記第１表示部３５に表示させるべく、前記入出力回路３８を介して第１表示部３５に信号を送信する。これにより、第１表示部３５には、各選別筒１２，１３の目合いが表示される（ステップ３）。
【００４１】
これにより、作業者は乾燥ずみの籾を自主検定装置１に投入する前に、現在装着されている各選別筒１２，１３の目合いを自主検定装置を開くことなく知ることができる。
【００４２】
次いで、作業者は、乾燥ずみの第１のサンプル籾（以下「第１サンプル籾」という）を自主検定装置１の前記投入部（図示せず）に投入するが、この投入前に、前記入力部３４から前記第１のサンプル籾の品種（本実施の形態では品種「▲２▼」とする）を入力する。この品種▲２▼の入力信号は、入出力回路３８を介して演算制御部３９に送られる（ステップ４）。
【００４３】
次いで、演算制御部３９は、前記ＲＯＭ４０に記憶された目合いＡに対応した穀物の品種▲１▼、▲２▼及び▲３▼のデータを基に、前記第１のサンプル籾の品種▲２▼は「目合いＡ」が適合するという判定を下す（ステップ５）。
【００４４】
次いで、演算制御部３９は、第１のサンプル籾の品種▲２▼の目合いＡが、前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶した各選別筒１２，１３のいずれかの目合いに一致するかどうかの判定（選別筒適合判定）を行う（ステップ６）。
【００４５】
この判定結果が「一致しない」場合には、演算制御部３９は、「この品種は装着された選別筒に適合しない」旨を作業者に報知するべく、入出力回路３８を介して前記第２表示部３６及び／又は警報装置３７に信号を送る。これにより、第２表示部３６は、この信号に基づいて「この品種は装着された選別筒に適合しない」旨の表示をし、また、警報装置３７は、ブザーなどを発する。そして、自主検定装置１は停止する（ステップ７及びステップ８）。なお、演算制御部３９は、装着するべき選別筒の目合いを前記ＲＯＭ４０に記憶したデータを基に判定して、例えば、第２表示部３６に表示させるようにする。これにより、作業者は、交換する選別筒の目合いを早期に知ることができる。交換作業の終了後は、装着した各選別筒の目合いを改めて前記入力部３４から入力し、各選別筒の目合いをＲＡＭ４１に記憶する。
【００４６】
一方、判定結果が「一致する」場合、演算制御部３９は、これから投入される第１サンプル籾の脱ぷ粒が前記選別筒１２に供給されるように、入出力回路３８を介して前記供給切換部３０に信号を送り、脱ぷ粒を供給する流路を切り換える（ステップ９）。
【００４７】
次いで、作業者は、第１サンプル籾を自主検定装置１の前記投入部（図示せず）に投入する（ステップ１０）。
【００４８】
以下、ステップ１１（サンプル籾の処理）を説明する。前記投入部（図示せず）に投入された第１サンプル籾は、前記移送管（図示せず）及び該移送管の下端口３を通って前記第１計量部４に供給される。
【００４９】
第１計量部４は、この投入された第１サンプル籾の重量を測定した後、当該第１サンプルを前記供給部５のスロワー６に供給する。第１計量部４での測定値は、前記Ａ／Ｄ変換器３３及び入出力回路３８を介して演算制御部３９に取り込まれる。演算制御部３９は、この重量値（仮に「重量値１」という）を前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶させる。
【００５０】
前記スロワー６に供給された第１サンプル籾は、該スロワー６によりスロワパイプ６ａを介して揚穀されて前記振動送穀手段７に送られ、該振動送穀手段７の作用を受けて前記脱ぷ部８に定量が一定速度で供給される。
【００５１】
脱ぷ部８に供給された第１サンプル籾は、ロール９ａ，９ｂ間で脱ぷされ、籾殻は排出手段１０によって機枠２外に排出され、また、脱ぷ粒は供給切換部３０に送られる。
【００５２】
このとき、供給切換部３０は、既に第１サンプルの脱ぷ粒が選別筒１２に供給するべく流路が設定されている。供給切換部３０からの脱ぷ粒は、前記受け口４２及び穀物導入口１８を介して選別筒１２の内部に供給される。
【００５３】
該選別筒１２内に供給された脱ぷ粒は、回転する選別筒１２によって整玄米と未熟米とに選別される。選別筒１２の網体１４の目合いよりも粒径の大きい粒子は、整玄米として当該選別筒１２内に残り、逆に小さい粒子は、網体１４の目合いを通り抜けて落下して選別室１６の下部に未熟米として堆積する。
【００５４】
第１サンプルの粒選別が終わると、演算制御部３９は、選別室１６の下部に堆積した未熟米を前記第２計量部３１に供給するべく、入出力回路３８を介して前記開閉部材２８に信号を送り、当該開閉部材２８を開状態にし、この状態を保持させる。第１サンプルの未熟米は、第２計量部３１によって重量が測定され、この重量値（仮に「重量値２」という）は、前記Ａ／Ｄ変換器３３及び入出力回路３８を介して演算制御部３９に取り込まれる。次いで、演算制御部３９は、この重量値２を前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶させる。なお、第２計量部３１で重量の測定が終わった未熟米は、スロワー４８を介して機枠２外に排出される。
【００５５】
次いで、演算制御部３９は、選別筒１２内の整玄米を第２計量部３１に供給するべく、入出力回路３８を介してアクチュエータ２６に信号を送る。すると、該アクチュエータ２６の作動により選別筒１２に設けられた開閉部材２０を介して排出板が開状態にされ、選別筒１２内の整玄米が排出され、該整玄米は、前記開閉部材２８によって開状態にされた選別室１６の下部を介して第２計量部３１に供給される。
【００５６】
次いで、第１サンプルの整玄米は、第２計量部３１によって重量が測定され、この重量値（仮に「重量値３」という）は、前記Ａ／Ｄ変換器３３及び入出力回路３８を介して演算制御部３９に取り込まれる。なお、第２計量部３１で重量の測定が終わった整玄米は、スロワー４８を介して機枠２外に排出される。
【００５７】
次いで、演算制御部３９は、この重量値（第１サンプルの整玄米の重量値）３と、前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶された重量値（第１サンプルの籾の重量値）１及び重量値（第１サンプルの未熟米の重量値）２を基にし、整玄米及び未熟米の各歩留まり値を算出する。この歩留まり値は、各サンプルの籾、未熟米及び整玄米のそれぞれを包装するサンプルパッカ（図示せず）において、各サンプルの歩留まり値を記載したラベルを各サンプル内に入れるために用いられる。
【００５８】
なお、前述のように、第１サンプルの未熟米及び整玄米が選別室１６から排出された後には、演算制御部３９は、前記アクチュエータ２６及び開閉部材２８のそれぞれに信号を送り、前記選別筒１２の排出板と、選別室１６の下部の開閉部材２８とをそれぞれ閉状態にする。以上でステップ１１（サンプル籾の処理）が終了する。
【００５９】
第１サンプルが機枠２外に排出され当該サンプル籾の処置が終了した後、続いて第２サンプル籾の処理を行う場合は、前記ステップ４に戻り、品種の入力を行う。また、自主検定装置１の稼動を終了する場合には、前記入力部３４から「終了」を入力する（ステップ１２）することにより、自主検定装置１は、停止状態になる（ステップ１３）。
【００６０】
以上説明した第１の実施の形態の自主検定装置１は、穀物サンプルの品種を入力するだけで、該穀物サンプルの脱ぷ粒が該脱ぷ粒の品種に適合する目合いの選別筒に供給されるように流路を自動的に切換えるものである。また、これから投入しようとする穀物サンプルの品種が、粒選別部に装着された各選別筒の目合いのいずれかに一致しない場合には、「この品種は装着された選別筒に適合しない」旨を報知するものである。さらに、装着するべき選別筒の目合いの表示も行うものである。
【００６１】
次に、第２の実施の形態の自主検定装置１について説明する。以下、前記第１の実施の形態と異なる構成について説明する。
【００６２】
前記各選別筒１２，１３の長手方向における前述の他端（前記開閉部材２０，２１が設けられた側）には、各網体１４，１５の目合いを示す目合表示部２２，２３が設けられている。そして、該目合表示部２２，２３に対向する位置には、該目合表示部２２，２３が示す目合い情報を検出する目合検出部２４，２５がそれぞれ設けられている。
【００６３】
本実施の形態において、前記目合検出部２４，２５は、光学センサーを用い、また、前記目合表示部２２，２３は、網体の目合いに応じた目合情報が表示された、例えばバーコードを印刷した情報テープを用い、前記目合情報は、前記光学センサーによって光学的に識別可能なものとする。
【００６４】
なお、前記目合検出部２４，２５は光学センサー、また、前記目合表示部２２，２３は情報テープ、をそれぞれ用いたが、これに限ることはなく、要するに、選別筒の目合いが識別できるものとこれを検出するものがあればよく、例えば、目合表示部には目合いに対応した突起、目合検出部には前記突起に接触して目合い信号を検出するリミットスイッチをそれぞれ設けるようにしてもよい。更に、前記突起に替えて磁石とし、リミットスイッチに替えて前記磁石に遠近に移動すると開閉する近接スイッチとしてもよい。
【００６５】
次に、第２の実施の形態の自主検定装置１の作用について説明する。
【００６６】
自主検定装置１は、電源が「ＯＮ」されると、前記各選別筒１２，１３は図示しない駆動部からの駆動力を受けて断面８角形の中心を軸として回転する。（ステップ１）。
【００６７】
すると、前記目合検出部２４は、前記目合表示部２２の目合情報を、前記目合検出部２５は、前記目合表示部２３の目合情報を、それぞれ検出する。これら検出した各目合情報は、前記Ａ／Ｄ変換器３３、入出力回路３８及び演算制御部３９を介して前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶される。同様に、前記目合表示部２３の目合情報も、前記目合検出部２５によって検出され、前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶される（ステップ２）。
【００６８】
前記前記ＲＯＭ４０には、前記目合検出部２４，２５が検出する目合情報に対応した目合いデータがあらかじめ記憶されている。この目合いデータを基に、演算制御部３９は、前記ステップ２でＲＡＭ４１に記憶した各目合情報に対応する目合いの判定（第１目合判定）を行う。この判定で得られた各目合いは、前記演算制御部３９によって、前記選別筒１２の網体１４及び選別筒１３の網体１５の各目合いとして前記ＲＡＭ４１に記憶される一方、前記第１表示部に表示される。（ステップ３）。
【００６９】
これにより、現在装着されている各選別筒１２，１３の目合いを正確に、また、自主検定装置を開くことなく知ることができる。
【００７０】
次いで、作業者は、乾燥ずみの第１のサンプル籾（以下「第１サンプル籾」という）を自主検定装置１の前記投入部（図示せず）に投入するが、この投入前に、前記入力部３４から前記第１のサンプル籾の品種（本実施の形態では品種「▲４▼」とする）を入力する。この品種▲４▼の入力信号は、入出力回路３８を介して演算制御部３９に送られる（ステップ４）。
【００７１】
次いで、演算制御部３９は、前記ＲＯＭ４０に記憶された目合いＢに対応した穀物の品種▲４▼、▲５▼及び▲６▼のデータを基に、前記第１のサンプル籾の品種▲４▼が「目合いＢ」に適合するという判定（第２目合判定）を下す（ステップ５）。
【００７２】
次いで、前記第２目合判定で得られた第１サンプル籾の品種▲４▼に適合する目合いＢが、第１目合判定で判定された選別筒１２，１３の網体１４，１５の各目合いのいずれかに一致するかどうかの判定（選別筒適合判定）が行われる（ステップ６）。
【００７３】
この判定結果が「一致しない」場合には、前記第１の実施の形態で説明したステップ７及びステップ８と同様に、演算制御部３９は、「この品種は装着された選別筒に適合しない」旨を作業者に報知するべく、入出力回路３８を介して前記第２表示部３６及び／又は警報装置３７に信号を送る。これにより、第２表示部３６は、この信号に基づいて「この品種は装着された選別筒に適合しない」旨の表示をし、また、警報装置３７は、ブザーなどを発する。そして、自主検定装置１は停止する。なお、演算制御部３９は、装着するべき選別筒の目合いを前記ＲＯＭ４０に記憶したデータを基に判定して、例えば、第２表示部３６に表示させるようにする。これにより、作業者は、交換する選別筒の目合いを早期に知ることができる。
【００７４】
一方、判定結果が「一致する」場合、演算制御部３９は、これから投入される第１サンプル籾（品種▲４▼）の脱ぷ粒が前記選別筒１３に供給されるように、入出力回路３８を介して前記供給切換部３０に信号を送り流路を切り換える（ステップ９）。
【００７５】
次いで、作業者は、第１サンプル籾を自主検定装置１の前記投入部（図示せず）に投入する（ステップ１０）。なお、ステップ１１（サンプル籾の処理）からステップ１３については、前記第１の実施の形態と同様であるため、ここでの説明は省略する。
【００７６】
以上説明した第２の実施の形態の自主検定装置１は、各選別筒に備えられた前記目合表示部から得られる目合情報を基に、各選別筒の目合いを判定するので、装着された選別筒の目合いが正確に判定される、という前記第１の実施の形態にない作用・効果を有する。なお、前記第２の実施の形態は、前記第１の実施の形態と同じ効果も有する。
【００７７】
また、上記第１の実施の形態及び第２の実施の形態に加え、前記入力部３４からは、作物の出来ぐあいを示す指数である作況指数を入力できるようにし、また、前記ＲＯＭ４０には、穀物の品種に適合した選別筒の目合いを前記作況指数に対応させたデータを記憶するようにしてもよい。このデータは、例えば、下記の表２のようにすればよい。
【表２】

【００７８】
これにより、これから投入しようとする穀物サンプルの品種に適合する目合いの判定（前記第２目合判定）は、作況指数を考慮して行うことができる。
【００７９】
次に、第３の実施の形態を示す。前記第１及び第２の実施の形態では、自主検定装置を単独で使用するものについて説明したが、ここでは、後述するテストドライヤなどと連携する全自動自主検定システム５０内で用いられる自主検定装置１について説明する（図４参照）。第３の実施の形態における穀物サンプルの品種は、後述する荷受計量機４５に接続された入力部４６から入力された荷受データを利用するものである。
【００８０】
前記全自動自主検定システム５０は、前記自主検定装置１、テストドライヤ４９及びサンプルパッカ４４とから構成されている。前記テストドライヤ４９は、荷受された穀物のサンプルを所定の水分値まで乾燥させるものである。前記サンプルパッカ４４は、前記自主検定装置１で処理された各穀物サンプルごとの整玄米及び未熟米をそれぞれ包装するとともに、前記整玄米及び未熟米の歩留まり値を記載したラベルを作成し、該ラベルを各包装袋内に挿入するものである。そして、前記テストドライヤ４９と自主検定装置１とは、テストドライヤ４９の穀物サンプル及び後述する荷受データを自主検定装置１に受け渡しできるように接続されている。また、自主検定装置１とサンプルパッカ４４とは、自主検定装置１の穀物サンプル及び後述する荷受データをサンプルパッカ４４に受け渡しできるように接続されている。
【００８１】
一方、穀類乾燥調製施設内には、荷受穀物の重量及び水分値の計測並びに穀物サンプルの採取を行う荷受計量機４５がある。該荷受計量機４５は、荷受穀物の品種や荷受穀物の持ち主名などの荷受データを入力する入力部４６と接続し、該入力部４６の荷受データを荷受計量機４５に受け渡すことができるようになっている。該荷受計量機４５は、該荷受計量機４５が計測した荷受穀物の重量及び水分値を前記荷受データに含める。荷受計量機４５と前記テストドライヤ４９とは、荷受計量機４５の穀物サンプル及び荷受データを前記テストドライヤ４９に受け渡しできるように接続されている。
【００８２】
以上の構成により、前記入力部４６から入力された荷受データは、穀物サンプルとともに、前記荷受計量機４５及びテストドライヤ４９を介して自主検定装置１に入力される。これにより、自主検定装置１は、前記第１及び第２の実施の形態と同様に稼動する。
【００８３】
【発明の効果】
請求項１の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置によると、
前記切換制御部は、前記記憶部に記憶された各選別筒の目合いに適合する穀物の品種と、入力部から入力される穀物サンプルの品種とを基に、当該穀物サンプルの脱ぷ粒が該脱ぷ粒に適合する選別筒へ供給されるように前記供給切換部を切換える。よって、稼働率を低下させることなく、異なる目合いの選別筒に適合する品種の穀物サンプルの処理が行える。
【００８４】
請求項２の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置によると、前記選別筒適合判定部は、入力部で入力された穀物サンプルの品種が前記記憶部に記憶された各選別筒の目合いに適合するかどうかが判定され、判定結果が不適合の場合は、不適合を報知部によって報知する。よって、この報知の後に、作業者は、適合する目合いの選別筒への交換作業を行うことができる。
【００８５】
請求項３の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置は、
前記表示部には、記憶部に記憶された各選別筒の目合いが表示されるので、作業者は、自主検定装置の稼動を停止して選別筒の目合いを確認する必要がなく目合いを知ることができる。よって、自主検定装置の稼動率が低下することがない。
【００８６】
請求項４の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置は、
装着された各選別筒の目合いは、第１目合判定部が目合検出部で検出する各目合情報を基にして判定する。一方、入力部で入力される穀物サンプルの品種に適合する目合いは、第２目合判定部が記憶部に記憶された目合いに適合した品種を基に判定する。これら、第１目合判定部で判定した各選別筒の目合いと、第２目合判定部で判定した入力品種に適合する目合いとを基に、切換制御部は、供給切換部を切換える。よって、前記請求項１と同じく、稼働率を低下させることなく、異なる目合いの選別筒に適合する品種の穀物サンプルの処理が行える。また、装着された選別筒に備えられた目合表示部の目合情報を基にして当該選別筒の目合いを判定するので、装着された選別筒の目合いを正確に判定することができる。よって、的確な粒選別を行うことができる。
【００８７】
請求項５の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置によれば、表示部は、第１目合検出部で判定した目合い、すなわち、装着された各選別筒の目合いを表示する。このため、自主検定装置の稼動を停止して選別筒の目合いを確認する必要がない。よって、自主検定装置の稼動率が低下することがない。
【００８８】
請求項６の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置によれば、
前記記憶部に記憶される穀物の品種に適合した選別筒の目合いは、作況指数に対応させて設定されており、前記第２目合判定部は、この作況指数にも対応した目合いを基に目合いを判定する。よって、粒選別は、作況指数を考慮した的確な選別を行うことができる。
【００８９】
請求項７の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置によれば、
前記選別筒適合判定部が、第２目合判定部で判定された目合いが第１目合判定部で判定された目合いに適合しないと判定した場合、報知部は、不適合を報知する。よって、この報知の後に、作業者は、適合する目合いの選別筒への交換作業を行うことができる。
【００９０】
請求項８の穀類乾燥調製施設における自主検定装置によれば、
報知部によって装着するべき選別筒の目合いが報知されるので、作業者は、交換する選別筒の目合いを早期に知ることができる。

[0037]
Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. The grain sample in the present embodiment is “籾” and is hereinafter referred to as “籾”.
[0038]
In the above-described self-test apparatus 1, when the power is turned on, each of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13 receives a driving force from a driving unit (not shown) and rotates around the center of the octagonal section (step 1). .
[0039]
Next, the operator inputs the scale of each of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13 attached to the grain sorting unit 11 from the input unit 34. The inputted data of each scale is stored as the scales of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13 in the RAM 41 via the input / output circuit 38 and the arithmetic control unit 39 (step 2).
[0040]
Next, the arithmetic control unit 39 sends a signal to the first display unit 35 via the input / output circuit 38 in order to display the scale of each of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13 stored in the RAM 41 on the first display unit 35. Send. Thereby, the scale of each sorting cylinder 12 and 13 is displayed on the 1st display part 35 (Step 3).
[0041]
Thus, the operator can know the scale of each of the currently installed sorting cylinders 12 and 13 without opening the self-testing device before putting the dried cocoon into the self-testing device 1.
[0042]
Next, the operator puts the dried first sample bowl (hereinafter referred to as “first sample bowl”) into the loading section (not shown) of the self-test apparatus 1. The type of the first sample rice cake (product type “(2)” in this embodiment) is input from the unit 34. The input signal of the type (2) is sent to the arithmetic control unit 39 via the input / output circuit 38 (step 4).
[0043]
Next, the calculation control unit 39 uses the data of the grain varieties {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, and {circle around (3)} corresponding to the scale A stored in the ROM 40 to make the first sample grape variety {circle around (2)}. ▼ makes a determination that “scale A” matches (step 5).
[0044]
Next, the arithmetic control unit 39 determines whether or not the scale A of the first sample cultivar (2) matches the scale of each of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13 stored in the RAM 41 (selection). (Cylinder compatibility determination) is performed (step 6).
[0045]
If the determination result is “not coincident”, the arithmetic control unit 39 uses the second input / output circuit 38 to notify the operator that “this type does not fit the attached sorting cylinder”. A signal is sent to the display unit 36 and / or the alarm device 37. As a result, the second display unit 36 displays that “this product does not fit the attached sorting cylinder” based on this signal, and the alarm device 37 emits a buzzer or the like. Then, the self-test apparatus 1 stops (Step 7 and Step 8). The arithmetic control unit 39 determines the scale of the sorting cylinder to be mounted based on the data stored in the ROM 40 and displays it on the second display unit 36, for example. As a result, the operator can quickly know the scale of the sorting cylinder to be replaced. After the replacement work is completed, the scale of each mounted sorting cylinder is inputted again from the input unit 34, and the scale of each sorting cylinder is stored in the RAM 41.
[0046]
On the other hand, if the determination result is “match”, the calculation control unit 39 supplies the deflated granule of the first sample cake to be supplied to the sorting cylinder 12 via the input / output circuit 38. A signal is sent to the switching unit 30 to switch the flow path for supplying the degranulated particles (step 9).
[0047]
Next, the operator inputs the first sample basket into the input unit (not shown) of the self-test apparatus 1 (step 10).
[0048]
In the following, step 11 (processing of the sample basket) will be described. The first sample basket charged in the charging unit (not shown) is supplied to the first measuring unit 4 through the transfer pipe (not shown) and the lower end port 3 of the transfer pipe.
[0049]
The first weighing unit 4 measures the weight of the loaded first sample basket, and then supplies the first sample to the drawer 6 of the supply unit 5. The measurement value at the first measuring unit 4 is taken into the arithmetic control unit 39 via the A / D converter 33 and the input / output circuit 38. The arithmetic control unit 39 stores the weight value (referred to as “weight value 1”) in the RAM 41.
[0050]
The first sample meal supplied to the drawer 6 is cerealed by the drawer 6 via the drawer pipe 6a and sent to the vibratory cerealing means 7. The unit 8 is supplied with a fixed amount at a constant rate.
[0051]
The first sample straw supplied to the removal unit 8 is removed between the rolls 9 a and 9 b, the rice husk is discharged out of the machine frame 2 by the discharge means 10, and the removed particles are sent to the supply switching unit 30. It is done.
[0052]
At this time, the supply switching unit 30 has a flow path already set so that the first sample of the degranulated powder is supplied to the sorting cylinder 12. The degranulated particles from the supply switching unit 30 are supplied into the sorting cylinder 12 through the receiving port 42 and the grain inlet 18.
[0053]
The degranulated grains supplied into the sorting cylinder 12 are sorted into brown rice and immature rice by the rotating sorting cylinder 12. Particles having a particle size larger than the mesh size of the mesh body 14 of the sorting cylinder 12 remain in the sorting cylinder 12 as brown rice, and conversely, the small particles fall through the mesh of the mesh body 14 and fall into the sorting chamber. It accumulates in the lower part of 16 as immature rice.
[0054]
When the grain sorting of the first sample is finished, the calculation control unit 39 supplies the immature rice accumulated in the lower part of the sorting chamber 16 to the opening / closing member 28 via the input / output circuit 38 in order to supply the second weighing unit 31 with the immature rice. A signal is sent to open and close the opening / closing member 28. The weight of the immature rice of the first sample is measured by the second measuring unit 31, and this weight value (referred to as “weight value 2”) is arithmetically controlled via the A / D converter 33 and the input / output circuit 38. Part 39 is taken in. Next, the arithmetic control unit 39 stores the weight value 2 in the RAM 41. The immature rice whose weight has been measured by the second weighing unit 31 is discharged out of the machine casing 2 through the drawer 48.
[0055]
Next, the calculation control unit 39 sends a signal to the actuator 26 via the input / output circuit 38 in order to supply the brown rice in the sorting cylinder 12 to the second weighing unit 31. Then, the discharge plate is opened through the opening / closing member 20 provided in the sorting cylinder 12 by the operation of the actuator 26, and the conditioned rice in the sorting cylinder 12 is discharged. It is supplied to the second measuring unit 31 through the lower part of the sorting chamber 16 which is opened.
[0056]
Next, the weight of the first sampled brown rice is measured by the second measuring unit 31, and this weight value (referred to as “weight value 3”) is passed through the A / D converter 33 and the input / output circuit 38. It is taken into the arithmetic control unit 39. Note that the brown rice whose weight has been measured by the second weighing unit 31 is discharged out of the machine frame 2 through the drawer 48.
[0057]
Next, the calculation control unit 39 sets the weight value (weight value of the first sampled brown rice) 3, the weight value (weight value of the first sample rice bran) 1 and the weight value (first value) stored in the RAM 41. Based on the weight value of the immature rice of the sample) 2, the yield values of the brown rice and the immature rice are calculated. This yield value is used to put a label describing the yield value of each sample in each sample in a sample packer (not shown) that wraps each rice bran, immature rice, and brown rice.
[0058]
As described above, after the first sample of immature rice and brown rice is discharged from the sorting chamber 16, the arithmetic control unit 39 sends a signal to each of the actuator 26 and the opening / closing member 28, and the sorting cylinder The 12 discharge plates and the opening / closing member 28 below the sorting chamber 16 are closed. This completes step 11 (processing of the sample basket).
[0059]
After the first sample is discharged to the outside of the machine frame 2 and the treatment of the sample basket is completed, when the second sample basket is subsequently processed, the process returns to the step 4 to input the product type. In addition, when the operation of the self-test apparatus 1 is to be terminated, “end” is input from the input unit 34 (step 12), so that the self-test apparatus 1 is stopped (step 13).
[0060]
The self-assessment apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment described above simply inputs the varieties of the grain sample, and the deflated grains of the cereal sample are supplied to the sorting cylinders having a size suitable for the varieties of the deflated grains. Thus, the flow path is automatically switched. In addition, if the varieties of the grain samples to be introduced do not match any of the scales of the individual sorting cylinders installed in the grain sorting section, “this variety does not fit the installed sorting cylinders”. Is notified. Furthermore, the scale of the sorting cylinder to be mounted is also displayed.
[0061]
Next, the self-test apparatus 1 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the first embodiment will be described.
[0062]
On the other end (the side on which the opening / closing members 20 and 21 are provided) in the longitudinal direction of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13, there are mesh display portions 22 and 23 that indicate the meshes of the mesh bodies 14 and 15.

At positions facing the scale display sections 22 and 23, scale detection sections 24 and 25 for detecting scale information indicated by the scale display sections 22 and 23 are provided, respectively.
[0063]
In the present embodiment, the mesh detection units 24 and 25 use optical sensors, and the mesh display units 22 and 23 display mesh information according to the mesh size, for example, An information tape printed with a barcode is used, and the scale information is optically identifiable by the optical sensor.
[0064]
Although the scale detectors 24 and 25 use optical sensors, and the scale indicators 22 and 23 use information tapes, respectively, the present invention is not limited to this. It is sufficient if there is something that can be detected and something that can detect this, for example, the scale display section has a projection corresponding to the scale, and the scale detection section has a limit switch that detects the scale signal by contacting the projection. You may make it provide. Further, a magnet may be used instead of the protrusion, and a proximity switch that opens and closes when moving to the magnet in place of the limit switch may be used.
[0065]
Next, the operation of the self-test apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment will be described.
[0066]
In the self-verifying apparatus 1, when the power is turned "ON", each of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13 receives a driving force from a driving unit (not shown) and rotates around the center of the octagonal section. (Step 1).
[0067]
Then, the mesh detection unit 24 detects the mesh information of the mesh display unit 22, and the mesh detection unit 25 detects the mesh information of the mesh display unit 23. Each detected scale information is stored in the RAM 41 via the A / D converter 33, the input / output circuit 38, and the arithmetic control unit 39. Similarly, the scale information of the scale display unit 23 is also detected by the scale detection unit 25 and stored in the RAM 41 (step 2).
[0068]
In the ROM 40, scale data corresponding to scale information detected by the scale detectors 24 and 25 is stored in advance. Based on the scale data, the arithmetic control unit 39 performs a scale determination (first scale determination) corresponding to each scale information stored in the RAM 41 in step 2. Each scale obtained by this determination is stored in the RAM 41 by the arithmetic control unit 39 as each scale of the mesh body 14 of the sorting cylinder 12 and the mesh body 15 of the sorting cylinder 13, while the first control Displayed on the display. (Step 3).

Next, the operator puts the dried first sample bowl (hereinafter referred to as “first sample bowl”) into the loading section (not shown) of the self-test apparatus 1. The type of the first sample koji (in this embodiment, type “4”) is input from the unit 34. The input signal of the type (4) is sent to the arithmetic control unit 39 via the input / output circuit 38 (step 4).
[0071]
Next, the calculation control unit 39 uses the data of the grain varieties {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} corresponding to the scale B stored in the ROM 40 to make the first sample grape variety {circle around (4)}. A determination is made that ▼ matches “scale B” (second scale determination) (step 5).
[0072]
Next, the mesh B that matches the variety (4) of the first sample koji obtained in the second mesh judgment is the meshes 14 and 15 of the sorting cylinders 12 and 13 judged in the first mesh judgment. Judgment is made as to whether or not any of the scales matches (selection of cylinder matching) (step 6).
[0073]
When this determination result is “not coincident”, the arithmetic control unit 39 “not compatible with the attached sorting cylinder” as in Steps 7 and 8 described in the first embodiment. In order to notify the operator of the fact, a signal is sent to the second display unit 36 and / or the alarm device 37 via the input / output circuit 38. As a result, the second display unit 36 displays that “this product does not fit the attached sorting cylinder” based on this signal, and the alarm device 37 emits a buzzer or the like. And the self-test device 1 stops. The arithmetic control unit 39 determines the scale of the sorting cylinder to be mounted based on the data stored in the ROM 40 and displays it on the second display unit 36, for example. As a result, the operator can quickly know the scale of the sorting cylinder to be replaced.
[0074]
On the other hand, if the determination result is “match”, the arithmetic control unit 39 causes the input / output circuit so that the deflated grains of the first sample cake (variety {circle around (4)}) to be added are supplied to the sorting cylinder 13. A signal is sent to the supply switching unit 30 via 38 to switch the flow path (step 9).
[0075]
Next, the operator inputs the first sample basket into the input unit (not shown) of the self-test apparatus 1 (step 10). Note that Step 11 (processing of the sample basket) to Step 13 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted here.
[0076]
Since the self-examination device 1 of the second embodiment described above determines the scale of each sorting cylinder based on the scale information obtained from the scale display unit provided in each sorting cylinder, There is an action / effect not found in the first embodiment that the scale of the selected sorting cylinder is accurately determined. The second embodiment also has the same effect as the first embodiment.

Therefore, as in the first aspect, it is possible to process varieties of grain samples suitable for sorting tubes of different scales without reducing the operating rate. Further, since the scale of the sorting cylinder is determined based on the scale information of the scale display unit provided in the mounted sorting cylinder, the scale of the mounted sorting cylinder can be accurately determined. . Therefore, accurate grain selection can be performed.
[0087]
According to the self-assessment apparatus in the cereal drying preparation facility according to the fifth aspect, the display unit displays the scale determined by the first scale detection unit, that is, the scale of each mounted sorting cylinder. For this reason, it is not necessary to stop the operation of the self-verification apparatus and check the scale of the sorting cylinder. Therefore, the operation rate of the self-verification apparatus does not decrease.
[0088]
According to the self-assessment apparatus in the cereal drying preparation facility according to claim 6,
The scale of the sorting cylinders suitable for the grain varieties stored in the storage unit is set in correspondence with the production index, and the second scale determination unit has a scale corresponding to the production index. Judgment is based on the basis. Therefore, the grain selection can be performed accurately in consideration of the production index.
[0089]
According to the self-assessment device in the cereal drying preparation facility of claim 7,
When the sorting cylinder suitability determination unit determines that the scale determined by the second scale determination unit does not match the scale determined by the first scale determination unit, the notification unit notifies the non-conformity. Therefore, after this notification, the operator can perform an exchange operation to a sorting cylinder having a suitable scale.
[0090]
According to the self-assessment device in the cereal drying preparation facility of claim 8,
Since the notification unit informs the user of the size of the sorting cylinder to be mounted, the operator can quickly know the scale of the sorting cylinder to be replaced.
