The rice milling equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
The building 1 is partitioned into a machine room 2 and a guest room 3 by a partition wall 5.
On the side of the guest room 3, a loading port 4 a of a loading hopper 4 for loading grain (brown rice) brought by the user is allowed to face. Further, on the front side of the partition wall 5, an operation panel 6 for users and a charge inlet 28 are provided.

In addition, an outlet 7a for the white rice tank 7 to be processed and stored, and a straw pack storage chamber 8 for storing the straw pack P described later are provided.
A grain presence / absence detecting sensor 9 for detecting the presence / absence of grain is provided in the charging hopper 4, and a rotary valve 10 for feeding the grain is provided at the bottom of the charging hopper 4.

  In the machine room 2, a first elevator 11 for cerealing the grain fed out by the rotary valve 10, a stone cutter 12 for removing the stone, and a second elevator 13 for cerealing the grain selected by the stone cutter 12, And a rice mill 14 for milling the grains that have been cerealed by the second elevator 13.

  Further, in the machine room 2, a cocoon transport fan 15 that transports cocoons generated by the rice milling process by the rice mill 14, a cocoon pack device 16 that packs the cocoons transported by the cocoon transport fan 15, and the cocoon pack device 16 The kite pack transport conveyor 17 is provided for transporting the kite pack P packed in step 3 to the cabin 3 side. Note that the kite transported by the kite transport fan 15 is separated into air and kite by the cyclone 18, and the kite is transported to either the kite pack device 16 or the kite container 19 by the kite transport spiral conveyor 20 that can be rotated forward and backward. It is a configuration.

  The bag packing device 16 is formed into a bag shape from a roll-shaped vinyl sheet 21 with a cutting tool 22 or a vinyl welding tool 23, receives the bag that is sequentially conveyed with the upper opening opened, and packs the packing process in anticipation of the set bag amount. The bag pack P packed and dropped is supplied to the bag pack conveyor 17 by the discharge chute 24. In this embodiment, the bag can be accommodated in an amount of about 1 kg per bag.

  The operation panel 6 is provided with a whitening degree selection switch 25 for selecting the whitening degree. The milling degree switch can be selected from 1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, 8-minute, standard, fine white, and no-wash rice.

  A control unit 26 that drives and controls each device in the machine room 2 is built in on the back side of the operation panel 6 and is configured so that an administrator of the rice milling facility can arbitrarily set the control contents. A pay / free selection switch 29 is provided on the back side of the operation panel 6, that is, the side operated by the administrator, for selecting whether to make the bag pack to be charged or not.

  On the side of the guest room 3, a bag take-out switch 27 is provided. The bag pack take-out switch 27 of the present embodiment is configured such that the bag pack P is created when operated by a user who wishes to pack the bag and take it home.

Next, the rice milling operation will be described.
The user inputs a fee into the fee input port 28 and inputs the brought grain into the input hopper 4. When the desired milling degree is selected by the milling degree selection switch 25, the milling operation is started for an operation time corresponding to the input charge (for example, 100 yen per 10 kg of brown rice).

  Grain in the charging hopper 4 is fed out by the rotary valve 10, passes through the first elevator 11, the stone remover 12, and the second elevator 13, is polished by the rice mill 14, and is stored in the white rice tank 7. The user takes out the white rice from the white rice outlet 7a.

  When the user operates the soot pack take-out switch 27, the soot generated in the rice milling operation is air-conveyed by the soot conveying fan 15 and passes through the cyclone 18, and the soot-packing device 16 is provided with the soot-conveying spiral conveyor 20. A kite pack P is created for each set kite amount (every kg of kite). The created bag pack P is transferred by the bag pack transfer conveyor 17 and is transferred into the bag pack storage chamber 8 provided on the cabin 3 side. Then, the user takes out the bag pack P and takes it home.

  For example, when the milling degree is set as a standard, about 1 kg of rice bran is generated per 10 kg of brown rice. That is, when 30 kg of brown rice is milled in one operation, three bags of paddy pack P are sequentially produced.

  It should be noted that the amount of rice bran generated can be converted from the relationship between the amount of brown rice converted by the rotational speed of the rotary valve 10 and the selected milling degree. Alternatively, it can be converted from the relationship between the set milling degree and the continuous rice milling operation time by the rice mill 14.

  The amount of wrinkles generated depends on the degree of milling. That is, for example, if the degree of whitening is standard, the amount of rice bran generated per 10 kg of brown rice is about 1 kg, but if it is sown for 5 minutes, the amount of rice bran produced per 10 kg of brown rice is about 500 g. Since the bag pack P of the present embodiment is configured to accommodate approximately 1 kg of bag per pack, the timing for packing the bag is longer in the case of 5 minutes than the standard time. That is, in the case of the standard, one bag pack P is prepared for each 10 kg of polished rice, but in the case of 5 minutes, one bag of P is prepared for each 20 kg of polished rice. Become.

  When the user does not operate the pad pack take-out switch 27, the paddy generated in the rice milling operation is air-transferred by the paddy transport fan 15, passes through the cyclone 18, and is stored in the paddy container 19 by the paddle transport spiral conveyor 20. Is done.

Next, the characteristics of the creation of the bag pack P when the administrator sets the creation of the bag pack P to be charged will be described.
The user inputs a fee into the fee input port 28 and inputs the brought grain into the input hopper 4. Then, when the pad pack take-out switch 27 is selected and the milling degree selection switch 25 is selected, the rice milling operation is started. At this time, in the case of a charge, a charge required for the paddy pack P is required separately from the charge for the rice milling operation from the input charge. The price of the rice cake pack P of this embodiment is not deducted every time one bag of rice cake pack is made, but a specific fee (for example, 50 yen) is required for one rice milling operation regardless of the amount of grain to bring. It becomes the composition which becomes.

  For example, when 30 kg of brown rice is milled and the rice cake pack P is made, 350 yen is required because the rice milling operation is 100 yen per 10 kg and the price of the rice cake pack P is 50 yen. In the case of brown rice 20kg, it will be 250 yen.

  The soot pack take-out switch 27 is configured to be operable before the start of the rice milling operation, and the operation of the soot pack take-out switch 27 is restricted after the start of the rice milling operation. This is because, in the case of paying, it is desirable to provide the user with all the straw generated from the grain brought by the user.

Next, the characteristics of the creation of the bag pack P when the administrator sets the creation of the bag pack P free of charge will be described.
In the case of free, the paddle take-out switch 27 can be operated even after the rice milling operation is started. However, when the grain presence / absence detection sensor 9 detects the absence of grain, the operation of the bag pack take-out switch 27 is restricted. After the grain presence / absence detection sensor 9 detects the absence of grain, the amount of generated soot is reduced, the amount of filling of the soot pack P is reduced, the posture of the soot pack P is not stabilized, and it is prevented from being difficult to carry. is there.

Next, the characteristics common to both cases where the creation of the bag pack P is set to be charged and when it is set to be free will be described.
The whitening degree at which the bag pack P can be taken home by operating the bag pack take-out switch 27 is equal to or higher than the set whitening degree. For example, a soot pack can be created for 5 minutes or longer, and the creation of the soot pack P is regulated for less than 5 minutes (3 minutes or 1 minute). This is because, as described above, if the amount of soot generated is small, the filling amount of the soot pack P is reduced, and the posture of the soot pack P is not stabilized and it is prevented from becoming difficult to transport. is there.

  Specifically, when the bag pack take-out switch 27 is selected, the whiteness degree selection switch 25 that is equal to or higher than the set whiteness degree can be selected, and the selection of the other whiteness degree selection switches 25 is restricted. Alternatively, when the whitening degree selection switch 25 of the whitening degree that cannot be taken out is selected, the operation of the bag pack takeout switch 27 is restricted.

  The paddle pack P is created at set intervals during the rice milling operation and is transported by the paddle pack transport conveyor 17, so the paddle pack storage chamber 8 is clogged with the paddle pack P unless the user removes it from the paddle pack storage chamber 8. End up. Therefore, every time the bag pack P is created, the user is notified by voice that “please remove the bag pack”.

  Since the bag pack storage chamber 8 has a limited space, in the present embodiment, the bag pack P can be continuously created up to three bags. This is because usually the amount of grains brought by a user in one rice milling operation is around 30 kg.

  The flow chart of FIG. 9 shows the rice milling operation when paying a paddle pack, but the free operation is also almost common, and the difference is that the grain presence / absence detection sensor 9 detects the absence of grain even after the start of the rice milling operation. Up to this point, it is possible to operate the switch for taking back the bag pack.

The production of the bag pack P after the grain presence / absence detection sensor 9 detects the absence of grain will be described with reference to FIG.
When the grain presence / absence detection sensor 9 detects the absence of grain during the rice milling operation, the amount of grain remaining from the first elevator 11 to the rice mill 14 and the amount of rice bran generated are converted.

Then, the timing of pack packing is controlled so that both the kit pack P2 in the middle of creation and the kit pack P3 to be created last can accommodate the kite amount required to make the kit pack.
The minimum amount of dredging required to create the kite pack is the amount of kite for smoothly transporting the kite pack P described above in a stable posture (preventing defective conveyance of the kite pack P). For example, the bag needs to be filled with 400 g or more of bag.

  Converting that 200g is stored in the paddy pack P2 that is in the process of preparation during rice milling as a standard, and converting the remaining brown rice amount to 10kg, the paddy (500g) for 5kg of brown rice is currently being prepared. 700g of rice cake pack P2 is prepared by storing it in the rice cake pack P2, and the remaining 5kg of rice bran (500g) is stored in the last rice cake pack P3 to produce 500g of rice cake pack P3. That is, the rice bran pack P is prepared by supplying the rice cake P2 and the last rice cake pack P3, each of which is appropriately divided into the remaining brown rice.

  Thus, when it is determined that the rice cake generated from the brown rice remaining in the rice cake pack P2 in the middle of production cannot be accommodated, both the rice cake pack P2 in the middle of production and the last rice cake pack P3 each have the minimum required filling amount. Is to control to obtain.
