The bag pack removal switch 17 may be provided on the operation panel 13.

  As shown in the rear view of FIG. 4, the rice bran processing system including the rice bran pack device 7 changes the discharge destination by the lateral feed operation to the rice bran collecting device 21 by a cyclone or the like that receives the rice cake from the rice milling machine 6. The hull pack device 7 is communicated with one end thereof via a spiral switching unit 7a, and a low-cost conveying path is formed by the chute 23 from the discharge port to the start end of the conveying device 8a by the belt conveyor. The other end of the rice cake is provided with a koji storage part 7b such as a koji bag to store the koji by selection during the rice milling process. With this kite transfer spiral 7a, not only selection according to the necessity of kite is possible, but also the trouble of the kite pack processing system can be dealt with easily.

  As shown in a perspective side view of the internal configuration in FIG. 5, the bag pack device 7 includes a bag vinyl roll 31, a tube guide body 32, a tube forming seam heater 33, and a cutter with a welding heater that opens and closes forward and backward. A portion 34 and a throat 35 facing the tube guide body 32 are provided.

  Specifically, as shown in an enlarged perspective view of the main part during the packing operation in FIG. 6, the cutter unit 34 is provided with welding heaters 34 a and 34 b for closing the cylinder above and below the cutting position, and for the bag through the cylinder guide body 32.

  The bag pack device 7 is configured not to supply the bag to the bag pack device 7 during the packing operation for sealing. That is, as a method for temporarily not supplying rice bran to the rice bran pack device 7, the switching unit 7a is configured to temporarily stop brown rice supply to the rice milling machine 6, or temporarily stop the rice milling machine 6, or continuously operate the rice milling machine 6. Temporary supply of rice cake to the rice cake pack device 7 by temporarily stopping the rice cake transfer spiral 7a or continuously switching the rice mill 6 while switching the rice cake transfer spiral 7a of the switching unit 7a to the rice cake container 7b side. There is a way to stop. These can be appropriately set in advance as to whether the administrator of the rice milling facility selects one method or a combination of a plurality of methods. Then, to resume the supply of the koji to the koji packing device 7 upon completion of packing, the driving of the rice mill 6 or the kneading transfer spiral 7a is resumed, or the conveying direction of the kneading transfer spiral 7a is switched to the koji packing device 7 side, Control the operation so that Thereby, the scattering of the soot in the soot pack apparatus 7 by supplying the soot during the packing operation can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the rice bran pack device 7 having the above-described configuration can pack the bag for each predetermined amount by converting the amount of the generated rice cake based on the operation time corresponding to the charge of the rice milling machine 6, a large amount of rice milling is performed. Even in the case of processing, it is possible to discharge with a certain amount of soot pack P by a small device without requiring a large soot pack device.

  As shown in the side view of the carry-out portion of the bag pack P in FIG. 7, the bag pack taking-out portion 8 is provided with a transfer device 8a that is a carry-out path from the bag pack device 7 toward the cabin 11a outside the machine room 11b. The container 8 serving as the bag pack take-out part is arranged in the cabin 11a so as to receive the bag pack P from the transport device 8a via the chute 41.

  With the configuration of the cocoon processing system from the cocoon pack device 7 to the cocoon pack take-out section 8, the cocoon pack P packed with the cocoons received from the rice milling machine 6 is carried out of the machine room by the transfer device 8a, The bag pack P is accommodated in the pack take-out part 8. Therefore, since the degree of freedom of the accommodation mode can be ensured by the accommodation container 8 arranged outside the machine room 11b, the accommodation amount of the bag pack P is secured while suppressing an increase in the space of the machine room 11b. The paddle pack P can be easily taken out, including the countermeasure when the paddle pack P remains during the milling.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, an inner perspective perspective view (a) and a cross-sectional view (b) of a main part of the lid of the bag pack takeout portion 8 are provided with a door with a lock mechanism 42 a that can lock-control the takeout port. 42 is provided and locked in correspondence with the operation of the transport device 8a, so that the door 42 is closed while the transport device 8a carries out the bag pack P, and the take-out operation is limited to when the transport device 8a is stopped. Therefore, safety when handling the bag pack P can be ensured. Instead of the lock mechanism 42a, the movable guard member may be configured to be able to enter and exit so as to cover the door 42.

(System configuration)
The discharge control of the paddle pack P by the paddy processing system of the rice milling equipment configured as described above constitutes a control system integrated with the rice milling processing system for cooperation with the rice milling machine 6.
In detail, as shown in FIG. 9, the input / output block diagram of the control system includes, as control inputs, input of rice processing conditions such as a charge input unit 13 a commonly called a coin mech, and a milling degree selection unit 13 b using a selection switch. , A signal of rotary pad rotation sensor 6s for detecting the feed amount of rice bran pack take-out switch 17 and brown rice tank 6b is input to control unit C, and the rice milling system from input hopper 2 to rice mill 6 according to these input conditions And the soot processing system from the soot transport spiral 7a to the lock mechanism 42a of the soot pack take-out portion 8 is configured to be controllable.

The outline of the rice milling operation is shown in the flowchart of FIG.
Each of the rice milling facilities 1 is input by input of brown rice input (S2) and milling degree selection (S3) from the first step (hereinafter abbreviated as “S1”) of charge input (for example, 100 yen per 10 kg of brown rice). The apparatus is activated (S4) and the rice milling operation is started (S5).

  On the other hand, when the rice cake pack selection (S6) is performed by the rice cake pack take-out switch 17, a rice cake amount detection unit that detects the amount of rice cake produced based on the operation amount of the rice milling machine 6 is provided. Detecting (converting) the amount of generated rice cake, or detecting the amount of generated rice cake using the amount of brown rice supplied from the brown rice tank 6b by the rotary valve rotation sensor 6s for detecting the rotational speed of the rotary valve (6r) as the operation amount of the rice mill 6 (Converted), and when the brown rice supply amount reaches the set amount (S7), the straw pack device 7 packs the straw (S8), and does not supply the straw to the straw pack device 7 during the packing. To. When the bag packing is completed and the bag pack P is created, the bag is supplied from the bag pack device 7 to the transport device 8a, and after preparing for the next bag pack P, the bag pack device The supply of firewood to 7 is resumed (S9). Specifically, for example, every time 10 kg of brown rice is milled, one pack P is prepared.

Moreover, when the amount of polished rice is less than the set amount by checking the amount of brown rice supplied (S7), the brown rice presence / absence detection sensor 2a provided at the bottom of the input hopper 2 detects that the brown rice in the input hopper 2 has been exhausted (S10). Then, the following end operation process is started. That is, the rotary valve 2c is stopped, and the stone discharging process and the remaining rice process of the stone removing machine 4 are performed (S11). Then, while making the last bag pack P, the bag is transferred to the bag container 7b (S12), and when the last bag pack P is transported to the storage container 8 (S13), all parts of the apparatus are stopped ( S14) and the rice milling operation ends.
Then, the user takes out the prepared rice cake pack P from the storage container 8 and takes out the polished rice from the white rice tank outlet 6a.

  Even if the brown rice presence / absence detection sensor 2a provided at the bottom of the charging hopper 2 does not detect that the brown rice in the charging hopper 2 has run out, if the operation time corresponding to the charged fee has elapsed (S15) All parts stop. At this time, the user restarts the rice milling operation by charging again.

  When there is no soot pack selection (S6) by the soot pack take-out switch 17, white rice can be taken out from the white rice tank 6a by the rice milling operation limited to the rice milling by the node B. During the operation limited to rice milling, the rice cake is transferred to and stored in the rice vessel 7b side by the rice cake transfer spiral 7a.

  In the rice milling operation limited to the rice milling by the node B, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11, when the brown rice presence / absence detection sensor 2a detects that the brown rice in the charging hopper 2 is no longer present (S16), the rotary valve 2c is stopped. Next, after performing the above-described end operation step (S17), all parts of the apparatus are stopped (S18). Even when the brown rice presence / absence detection sensor 2a does not detect that the brown rice in the charging hopper 2 has run out, if the operation time corresponding to the charged fee has elapsed (S19), all the parts of the apparatus are stopped even during the rice polishing operation.

  The rice cake pack fixed quantity discharge process A1 that packs the rice cake for each fixed quantity and discharges it to the conveying device will be described in detail. As shown in the flowchart in FIG. 12, the rice cake pack discharge command corresponding to a certain operation amount of the rice milling machine 6 is shown. Thus, the soot transfer spiral 7a is switched to temporarily store the generated soot in the soot container 7b (S21), and when the soot pack device 7 discharges the soot pack P (S22), the transporting operation by the transport device 8a is performed. Then, the bag pack P is carried out (S23, S24a, S24b), and the lock of the bag pack take-out portion 8 is released (S25, S26) after the completion of the conveying operation.

  Note that, as a method of not supplying the soot to the soot pack device 7 when the soot pack P is created and discharged, in addition to switching the soot transport spiral 7a and temporarily storing the generated soot in the soot container 7b (S21), The rice mill 6 may be temporarily stopped or the rice bran transfer spiral 7a may be temporarily stopped.

  The transporting operation by the transporting device 8a is performed by transporting the distance L to the soot pack unloading portion 8 (S24a) as shown in FIG. When it is detected by the kite pack detection sensor 30 provided in the case that the storage space of the kite pack take-out part 8 is small, the transport device 8a is moved by the distance L1 necessary for receiving the next kite pack P on the transport device 8a. By carrying out the transfer operation (S24b), it is possible to secure a wide accommodation space including the transfer distance L of the transfer device 8a, so that the rice milling operation is continued even when the paddle pack P of the paddle pack takeout part 8 reaches the full capacity. Can be done.

  In addition, the paddle pack detection sensor 30 for detecting whether or not the paddle pack P remains is provided in the paddle pack take-out portion 8, and when the paddle pack P remains in the paddle pack take-out section 8, the start of the rice milling is suppressed by the paddle pack detection sensor 30. In addition, by controlling the configuration so that the rice milling operation can be started by taking out the remaining rice cake pack P, the removal of the rice cake pack P can be performed without requiring a complicated system configuration including handling when the rice cake pack P remains. It may be configured to prevent forgetting.

  As described above, in the paddy pack fixed amount discharge process A1, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 14, when the paddle pack selection operation by the paddle pack take-out switch 17 is before the operation of the rice milling machine 6, the operation start time T0. In addition, when the rice milling machine 6 is in operation, the process is repeated T1 every time a predetermined operation amount of the rice milling machine 6 has elapsed T0 from the time point T0 when the rice bran pack is selected. Therefore, even if the operation of the soot pack take-out switch 17 is forgotten, the operation of the soot pack take-out switch 17 after the start of the rice milling operation can bring back the discharged soot after that as the soot pack P.

  Further, the rice bran pack halfway discharge process A2 when the rice milling machine 6 finishes the milling will be described in detail. As shown in the flowchart in FIG. When the bag pack device 7 stores (S31) in 7b and discharges the bag pack P (S32), the bag pack P is unloaded (S33, S34a, S34b) via the transfer operation of the transfer device 8a, and the transfer operation is performed. Waiting for the end, unlocking of the soot pack takeout part 8 is performed (S35, S36).

  In this way, as shown in FIG. 14 described above, the rice bran pack midway discharge process A2 does not wait for a predetermined operating amount T of the rice milling machine 6 and waits for the final rice cake from the rice milling end time T2 to the rice bran pack device 7. Is discharged as a soot pack P, and the transport device 8a is carried out onto the soot pack take-out portion 8 or the transport device 8a.

(Large amount detection unit)
Here, the rice bran amount detection unit will be described. Since the amount of rice bran generated by the rice milling machine 6 corresponds to the rice milling operation amount, the operation time of the rice milling machine 6 or the brown rice supply amount from the brown rice tank 6b is determined. By detecting (converting) the generated soot amount as the operation amount 6 and performing correction based on the degree of whitening, the generated soot amount can be grasped with high accuracy.

  That is, the amount of rice bran produced of 30 kg of brown rice is generally 3 kg for standard milling, 2.4 kg for 8 minutes, and 1.5 kg for 5 minutes. In addition, in the case where the rice bran pack is applied (S41), the brown rice supply amount is detected (S42), and in accordance with the operation of the whitening degree selection unit 13b (S43a, S43b), the standard rice bran quantity (S44a) and whiteness 8 The minute is corrected to 0.8 times the standard (S44b), and the whiteness of 5 minutes or less is corrected to 0.5 times the standard (S44c). (S45, S46) is performed.

  Next, the control process corresponding to the preparatory operation of the bag pack device 7 will be described. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 17, the timer processing is performed with the signals from the charge input unit 13a and the bag pack removal switch 17 as conditions (S51a, S51b). After waiting for the elapse of time necessary for preparation of the rice bran pack device 7 (S52), the rice cake pack device 7 is activated with guidance by voice, liquid crystal display, etc., until the generated rice cake amount reaches a predetermined amount, The soot supply (S53a to S53d) is performed by forward rotation of the soot transfer spiral 7a.

  Next, when the soot pack discharge is performed by welding and cutting the soot pack device 7 by the timer processing (S54) of the time Tm necessary for the pack discharging of the soot pack device 7, the reversing (or stopping) of the soot transfer spiral 7a ), Stopping the rice milling machine 6 or brown rice feeding (S54a to S54c) to stop the rice bran supply to the rice bran pack device 7. Thereafter, when the paddle pack device 7 enters a standby state, the paddle transfer spiral 7a is rotated forward (or restarted), the rice mill 6 is restarted (S55), and the paddy supply to the paddle pack device 7 is restarted. By repeating this series of control processing until the end of the rice milling due to the limit of the input charge (S56), the packing operation is linked with the rice milling machine operation, and the rice milling pack P is taken out by the rice milling user so that the system operation is smooth. Is possible.

  Note that the flowchart of FIG. 10 and the flowchart of FIG. 17 are the contents of the same embodiment, but FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are described in conceptual terms, and FIG. 17 is described in terms of specific technical operations. is there. In FIG. 17, the end operation step of FIG. 10 is omitted.

  As shown in the timing chart of FIG. 18, an example of the operation of the soot pack device 7 is to start sealing (seal operation) of the soot pack device 7 from time T11 when the soot supply is stopped by switching the soot transfer spiral 7a. By starting the supply of the kite by the kite transfer spiral 7a after the time T13 after the lapse of the specified time T10 from the time point T12 when the preparation is completed by discharging the bag pack P and making the next portion, the kite in the kite pack device 7 Can be prevented.

  Next, with regard to the billing process for the paddy pack P, the paddy pack fee is discounted or free when the amount of polished rice increases. Both sales and sales.

(Quantitative supply means)
Next, the constant quantity supply means of the soot of the soot pack apparatus 7 will be described.
As shown in the development configuration diagram of the soot supply unit in FIG. 19, the soot constant supply means is provided with a temporary storage unit 7c in the lower part of the soot collecting device using the cyclone 21 or the like. When the rice cake is stored, the rice cake is transported to the rice cake pack device 7 by the rice cake conveying unit 7a, so that it can be discharged as a certain amount of rice cake pack P. Therefore, the timing of the packing operation accompanying the fluctuation of the rice cake generation speed at the time of milling The amount of soot in the soot pack P can be quantified without requiring adjustment.

  As for a configuration example using the shutter type, as shown in a cross-sectional view of FIG. 20, an upper and lower shutters 7e and 7f are provided on a cylindrical member 7d in a vertical posture that receives the ridges from the ridge collecting device 21. A fixed volume is partitioned, the lower shutter 7f is closed to store the soot, and when the full capacity is reached, the upper shutter 7e is closed and the lower shutter 7f is opened to supply a certain amount of soot to the soot pack device 7. can do.

  As for the configuration example by the measuring cup type, as shown in FIG. 21, the measuring cup 7g receiving the soot from the soot collecting device 21 is pivotally supported by the support shaft 7h to detect the full amount. By rotating the metering cup 7g by the detection of the sensor 7j, a certain amount of bag can be supplied to the bag pack device 7.

  As for the configuration example of the circulation cup type, as shown in the configuration diagram of FIG. 22, a plurality of metering cups 7q... By disposing the soot collecting device 21 for receiving soot in the transporting process, the scraping plate 7r for aligning the soot amount of the measuring cup 7q to the full level, and placing the soot pack device 7 below the transport tip position A certain amount of soot can be supplied to the soot pack device 7.

(Helix transport mechanism control)
As shown in the timing chart of FIG. 23, the switching unit 7a using the spiral transport mechanism for switching the transport destination performs reverse rotation control for a predetermined time U1, for example, about 1 to 5 seconds at the end U of the final packing operation. Thus, the soot is fed back inward, so that the soot can be prevented from falling from the discharge port, so that the next user can be prevented from entering the soot pack P.

  Further, as shown in a development configuration diagram of the soot supply unit in FIG. 24, clogging detection means 7s by an electrostatic sensor or the like is provided in the soot flow path from the soot collecting device to the soot pack device 7 by the cyclone 21, etc. The control system is configured to stop the packing operation of the bag packing device 7 when the road is filled with the bag.

(Samurai pack vending)
Next, the bag pack vending apparatus corresponding to the sales request of the bag pack P will be described.
The bag pack vending apparatus 51 is configured to be able to move the bag pack P from the bag pack take-out unit 8. That is, as shown in FIG. 25 in a perspective view (a) and an internal configuration diagram (b) in a side view, the upper bag pack inlet 52 and the lower sales outlet 53 are provided on the front, The chute plates 54a and 54b and the payout shutter 54c constitute a bag pack stocker. The bag pack vending device 51 is disposed in the vicinity of the bag pack take-out unit 8 and the opening / closing control of the dispensing shutter 54c is interlocked by the charge input unit 13a of the operation panel 13 and the bag pack sale switch 55.

  The soot pack vending apparatus 51 having the above-described structure can not only respond to the sales request by putting the soot pack P into the soot pack insertion port 52, but also can move the residual soot pack P in the soot pack take-out portion 8. By placing the bag pack in the vicinity of the bag pack take-out portion 8 so as to assume the role of the tip, the bag pack P remaining in the bag pack take-out portion 8 without being taken home will hinder the operation of the bag pack device 7. The situation can be avoided. Therefore, by attaching the rice bran pack vending machine 51 to the automatic rice milling equipment, the use of the automatic rice milling equipment can be expanded to cover the provision of the rice bran pack without requiring a complicated system configuration and complicated handling. .

  In addition, as shown in a plan view of FIG. 27, the paddle pack device 7 having an independent building structure has a large number of packed paddle bags by providing its housing 62 close to the outside of the milling house 11. Furthermore, by providing the outlet 63 of the bag pack P in the cabin 11a so that it can be directly discharged, the discharge bag pack P can be handled in the same manner as the one-piece house configuration.

  On the other hand, when the rice bran pack device 7 is configured integrally as a rice milling equipment, by arranging the rice bran pack device 7 facing the cabin 11a on the side surface of the rice milling machine 6 as shown in FIG. The means for transporting the rice cake pack P, which is necessary in the case of the rear arrangement of the rice milling machine, becomes unnecessary, and further, maintenance from before and after the rice cake pack device 7 becomes possible.

  Next, description will be given of device control at the time of soot pack. Since the soot pack device 7 requires a large heater power and a heater warm-up preparation time, the main power can be turned off while the soot pack device 7 is on standby to turn off the heater. In order to ensure the minimum heater temperature rise time, a rice mill start delay is provided. In this way, it is possible to set the power consumption of the rice milling equipment as low as possible while ensuring stable sealing performance.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 29, the bag pack device 7 is provided with a vibration device 71 acting on the pack bag S in a state where the bag is received, below the feed rollers 72, 72. By vibrating between the start of the supply of the soot to the start of the discharge operation of the soot pack P, high-density filling of the supplied low-density soot is possible, and as a result, the size of the soot pack P is reduced, Not only can the running cost of the bag S for the pack be reduced, but a sufficient distance is secured above the filling bag, and a reliable seal without sticking is possible.

(Samurai pack control)
Next, control of the bag pack device 7 will be described.
When operating the paddy pack device 7 in accordance with the progress of the milled rice, if the amount of paddy generated with the milling rice exceeds the unit filling amount of the paddy pack P, it is transported by the paddy pack P with the last halfway filling amount. In order to solve this problem, the amount of generated soot is calculated based on the amount of introduced brown rice and the set whiteness, and the amount of evenly divided filling is calculated. Is calculated, and the bag packing device 7 is subjected to a packing operation based on the equal amount of filling.

By controlling the bag pack device 7 in this manner, an equal amount of bag packs can be discharged, and stable handling such as transportation and storage can be performed, including handling when a plurality of bag packs P are taken home.
Moreover, the convenience of the user can be improved by controlling the bag pack device 7 so as to discharge an equal amount of bag pack P according to the number of bags designated by the user.

  As for the setting operation for the paddy pack P, as shown in the guidance screen for the rice milling setting operation in FIG. 30 (a), the amount of the generated paddy rice is calculated by inputting the amount of introduced brown rice and the whiteness, Rice milling is activated by selecting the amount of paddy per bag. For example, by charging the number of bags selected, the number and charge of paddy packs P that contain the amount of paddy that varies depending on whiteness are displayed and used. Arbitrary settings and safe use by the person can be ensured.

  In addition, as shown in the guide screen for the pack number setting operation in FIG. 30 (b), when setting the number of packs, the number of bags is selected and added by a button, and then rice milling is started by a confirmation button. Can be used with confidence.

  Next, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 31, the paddy pack control is performed when it is detected that there is no brown rice to be polished (the remaining amount of the input hopper is zero) after the unit price end signal. By delaying the timing of the packing operation of No. 7 and packing after the completion of the rice milling operation in the end operation process, troubles such as tipping or catching during the transport of the paddy pack due to paddy packing of the end paddy paddy can be avoided. be able to. In addition, use of waste packs can be prevented.

  Further, regarding the handling of the remaining soot pack P, as shown in the front plan view around the operation panel in FIG. 32, when the soot pack P remains in the soot pack unloading portion 8, the packing fee is charged before the start of operation. The system is configured so that the charge amount is refunded by moving the bag pack P to a specified place, for example, the bag pack insertion port 52 for the bag pack machine after driving.

  The determination of the remaining soot pack is performed by signals from the human detection sensor 81 provided in the operation unit 13b, the soot pack discharge sensor 82 provided in the soot pack take-out unit 8, and the soot pack movement sensor 83 provided in the movable lid of the soot pack insertion port 52. 33, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 33, when the pack discharge signal is turned on only once under the human detection signal and there is no movement detection, it is determined that the takeout or no movement remains, The number of bags taken out is calculated based on the number of times the pack discharge signal has changed from OFF to ON, and the number of bags moved is calculated based on the number of times the movement signal has changed from OFF to ON. For example, if the number of take-outs is 3 and the number of movements is 2, it can be determined that one bag is taken home.

  With the above system configuration, it is possible to move the residual soot pack to a specified place through the user's hand, so that the system can be configured simply and inexpensively for the processing of the soot pack remaining in the limited space. it can. As described above, since the problem of the residual soot pack can be solved by the system for refunding after the operation is completed, the merit of both the facility installer and the user can be ensured.

Next, the filling amount control of the bag pack according to the whiteness will be described.
As shown in FIG. 34, the whiteness classification is a three-stage switching of A “8 or more”, B “5”, and C “3 or less”. By controlling the operation of the bag pack device 7 so as to be approximately a multiple of the unit price operating time for each degree division, it is possible to cope with the amount of generated bag changes depending on the whiteness, and finally to the required number of bags. By not changing when there is little change, easy-to-understand handling by multiples of 1 unit price operation becomes possible. As for the whiteness classification, if necessary, two sections of B “5” and C “3 or less” may be integrated into B or C timing control as “5 or less” and switched to two stages. .

Next, a description will be given of a configuration in which a user who does not have a brown rice to bring home only takes a straw pack.
The container is provided with a container supply means 7d capable of supplying the container stored in the container 7b to the container pack device 7, and the container supply means is provided at the bottom of the container and is fed by a rotary valve 7e for feeding the container. And a second scissors transport device 7g for supplying the scissors to the scissors transport device 7a by air transport or the like.

  When a user who does not have a brown rice to bring takes a paddle pack and operates the paddle pack take-off switch 17, the paddle in the paddle container 7b is fed out by the rotary valve 7e, and the second paddy transport device 7g and the paddle transport device 7a are moved. Then, the container is supplied to the bag pack device 7 and discharged as the bag pack P. That is, even when there is no brown rice to bring and the rice milling machine 6 is stopped, it is possible to discharge the koji pack of the koji container 7b. Note that the storage basket supply means may be configured to supply directly to the basket pack device 7 without going through the basket transport device 7a. Further, the amount of soot to be supplied is set by the number of rotations of the rotary valve 7e, and soot is packed for each set amount.

  To explain the function, when you don't have brown rice to bring and pack the rice cake in the rice cake container, you need to put in a charge (for example, 20 yen per bag) that is different from the rice rice milling operation. An effective configuration may be used. That is, when the rice bran pack is charged without detecting the brown rice brought in and the rice cake pack take-off switch 17 is operated, the storage rice bran supplying means and the rice cake pack device 7 By driving the bag pack conveying device 8a, the bag stored in the bag container 7b is created in the bag pack P and provided to the user.

  Note that when the brown rice to be brought into the milled rice is processed, the storage trough supply means 7d is configured to restrict the driving so that the straw in the straw container 7b and the straw generated in the milling process are supplied to the straw pack device 7 at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the amount of dredging packs from being other than the set amount.

(Key points of the configuration)
The main points of the configuration of the rice milling equipment having the above configuration are summarized as follows.
The rice bran conveying device 7a controls to stop the conveying operation during the packing operation of the rice bran packing device 7, so that the rice cake generated by the rice milling machine 6 is sent to the rice bran packing device 7 through the rice bran conveying device 7a, and the packing operation thereof In this packing operation, the transporting operation of the straw transporting device 7a is stopped during this packing operation, and the transporting operation of the generated soot is resumed by the end of the packing operation. While the operation of the rice milling machine 6 is continued, the milled rice bran can be stably discharged as the rice bran pack P without causing the scattering of the rice bran.

  Moreover, the rice bran conveying device 7a includes the rice bran storage unit 7b so that the rice bran storage unit 7b can be switched, and also controls the switching of the conveyance destination to the side of the rice bran storage unit 7b during the packing operation of the rice bran packing device 7a. Is sent to the kite pack device 7 through the kite transport device 7a and discharged as a kite pack P by the packing operation. During this packing operation, the transport destination of the kite transport device 7a is on the kite storage section 7b side during this packing operation When the packing operation is completed, the transfer destination of the generated slag is returned to the sachet pack device 7, so that the rice milling equipment generates the milled rice without scattering the slag while continuing the operation of the rice milling machine 6. The soot can be discharged as a soot pack P.

  In addition, the bag transport device 7a is provided with a switchable temporary storage unit 7c that temporarily stores the bag after being stored in the bag pack device 7, and the transport destination is set to the temporary storage unit 7c side during the packing operation of the bag pack device 7. , The rice cake generated by the rice milling machine 6 is sent to the rice cake pack device 7 through the rice cake conveying device 7a and discharged as the rice cake pack P by the packing operation. Since the transport destination of the apparatus 7a is switched to the temporary storage unit 7c side, and the transport destination of the generated paddy is returned to the paddle pack device 7 by the end of the packing operation, the paddy in the temporary storage unit 7c joins. The rice milling rice cake can be discharged as a rice cake pack P without causing rice cake scattering while continuing the operation of the rice milling machine 6.

  In addition, users who do not have their own brown rice can take home only the rice cake pack. There are two billing systems that apply to the paddy pack discharge instruction, and when the paddle pack discharge is selected by switching the application of these two billing systems according to the presence or absence of the rice milling instruction, Since the two charging systems are switched accordingly, it is possible to automatically switch between two charging systems for rice cake pack charges, that is, rice-milling integrated charging and rice cake pack single charging.

  Next, when the packing operation of the rice bran pack device 7 is controlled at a fixed timing from the start of the operation of the rice milling machine 6, the rice milling machine 6 corrects the timing of the packing operation of the rice bran packing apparatus 7 according to the degree of milling. The generated soot that is processed to the set degree of whitening is sent to the soot pack device 7 via the soot transport device 7a, and is discharged as a soot pack P of a predetermined soot amount by the packing operation at a fixed timing. In this case, the packing operation Therefore, even if the amount of generated rice fluctuates due to the change in the degree of milling, the rice milling equipment can correct the rice cake by correcting it according to the relationship between the degree of milling and the amount of generated rice. The amount of filling paddy of the pack P can be made constant. In particular, in a system that processes brown rice at a constant rate in a billing unit, the packing of the inefficient paddle packing device 7 with an insignificant small amount of paddy is performed. And a stable discharge of bran pack P is possible by avoiding the constant bran amount of grayed operation.

  Further, when the packing operation of the rice bran pack device 7 is controlled at a fixed timing from the start of the operation of the rice milling machine 6, the timing of the packing operation of the rice bran pack device 7 is subsequently generated by detecting consumption of the input grain of the input hopper 2. By correcting for the amount of dredging, the rice bran generated by the rice mill 6 is sent to the dredging pack device 7 via the dredging transport device 7a and discharged as a certain dredging amount of dredging pack P by a packing operation at a fixed timing. In addition, since the timing of the packing operation is corrected to the target of the total grain amount when the consumption of the input grain of the input hopper 2 is detected, the rice milling equipment uses the final total amount of residual rice cake when the processing of the input brown rice is finished. Can be adjusted to accumulate in paddy pack P, especially in systems that process brown rice at a fixed rate in units of billing, inefficient packing operation due to the small amount of paddy rice cake Avoided and the stable discharge of bran pack P by equally amount of handling is possible.

  In addition, by correcting the timing of the packing operation of the paddle packing device 7 based on the number of paddle packs by setting, the timing of the packing operation of the generated paddy of the rice mill 6 is corrected based on the number of paddle packs by setting. Therefore, the rice milling equipment can contribute to the convenience of the user as well as the stable discharge of the paddy pack P by the handling of an equal amount.
