Is provided. Then, the sheet A is supported in a tubular shape by applying a force to the inside of the first receiving portion 52b and applying a force to the outside of the second receiving portion 52c.

By controlling the drive chain 52d with the drive unit (drive motor) 52a, the seat support 52 can move up and down along the elevating guide shaft 70 from a position below the chute 56 to a bran supply cylinder 53 provided above the chute 56. It is configured so that the insertion member 51 can be moved up and down as well as the seat support 52 is moved up and down.

The bran supply cylinder 53 has a structure in which the opening of the sheet A is detachably attached at the raised end position of the seat support 52, and in the mounted state, the bran is supplied to the inside of the bag F formed by the sheet A and the bran is filled. The upper part of the bag F is supported by the bag upper support 71. The bag upper support 71 is configured to be movable between the bag support position and the retracted position by the bag upper support drive motor 71a.

The seal cutter unit 54, which is a welding means for the bag F, is provided with a welding portion for sealing the tubular body by the sheet A and a fusing portion for cutting, and forms the bag F by the sheet A and forms the bag F. In order to seal the opening, the drive chain 54b is controlled by the drive unit (drive motor) 54a so that the drive chain 54b can be moved up and down along the elevating guide shaft 70. Further, a pair of seal / cutter units 54 are provided in the front-rear direction, are supported by the support shaft 54c, and are configured to be movable to a welding and cutting position and a retracting position. FIG. 6 shows the retracted position, and the welding and cutting positions are such that the pair of members approach each other and abut against the bag F, and the sheet A is welded by the electric heat of the heater provided in the welded portion of the seal / cutter unit 54. Or, it is configured to cut with a cutting blade (not shown) which is a fusing part.

The control amount of the heating heater, which is the heating element in the seal / cutter unit 54, is controlled by the control unit C. Specifically, as a control amount, the energization time of the heater is controlled. Further, the voltage may be included as the control amount. As a result, the welding means has a configuration in which the amount of heat supplied to the sheet A can be freely adjusted when the sheet A is welded.

The bag guide 55 receives and supports the bottom of the bag F formed by the seal / cutter unit 54 until the bag is filled with bran, and releases the restraint at the upper end of the bag F to incline the bag F to the chute 56 for delivery. It is an inclined plate to guide. Then, the posture can be changed so that the retracting position of the insertion member 51 or the seat support 52 retracting to the outside of the evacuation region and the action position of entering the evacuation region of the insertion member 51 or the seat support 52 and receiving the bottom of the seat A can be changed. To do. The bag guide body 55 includes a link body 55a and a link body motor 55b for operating the link body 55a, and the link body 55a operates in the front-rear direction to switch between an action position and a retracted position.

FIG. 8 shows the operation of the bran pack device 7 having the above configuration in the order of steps (a to f) based on the operation process diagram.
With the seat support 52 and the insertion member 51 in the starting position and the bag guide 55 in the retracted position, the administrator grasps the end of the seat A and widens the opening of the end to insert the insertion member 51. The sheet A is inserted and the sheet A is inserted between the first receiving portion 52b and the second receiving portion 52c. (See FIG. 8 (a)).

The seat support 52 and the insertion member 51 both rise while supporting the end of the sheet A, the end of the sheet A covers the bran supply cylinder 53, and the bag upper support 71 moves to the bag support position. The end portion of the sheet A is fixed to the outer surface of the bran supply cylinder 53 (see the sheet position setting process FIG. 8B).

With the end of the sheet A fixed to the bran supply cylinder 53, the seat support 52 and the insertion member 51 are both lowered to a position below the chute 56, so that the insertion member 51 acts to create a space in the sheet A. It is formed (see the bag space forming step FIG. 8 (c)). Then, the seal / cutter unit 54 is lowered to a position near the start end side of the chute 56 to cut and weld the sheet A to form the bottom portion of the bag F. (See bag forming process FIG. 8 (c)).

As the seal / cutter unit 54 is raised, the bag guide 55 moves to the action position to support the bottom of the bag F. (See FIG. 8 (d)). Then, the bran flows in from the bran supply cylinder 53 (see the bran filling process FIG. 8 (e)).

When the set amount of bran is accommodated, the upper part of the bag F is welded and cut by the seal cutter unit 54 (the process of forming a bag containing bran), and the bag F flows from the bag guide 55 to the chute 56 by its own weight, and the bran pack. It is guided to the transport device 8a via the guide chute 56. Then, the bag guide body 55 moves to the retracted position.
Then, the process proceeds to the next sheet position setting step, bag space forming step, and bag forming step.
After that, the steps shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (f) are repeated until the rice milling operation is completed.

As shown in the time chart of FIG. 9 (an example of creating a 3-bag bran pack by operating 30 kg of brown rice), when the rice milling operation is completed, the sheet position setting step, the bag space forming step, and the bag forming step are performed. , Put the bag F in the standby state. As a result, the bran pack P can be quickly created when the next user performs the rice milling operation.

The administrator first grasps the end portion of the above-mentioned sheet A, widens the opening of the end portion to insert the insertion member 51, and inserts the sheet A between the first receiving portion 52b and the second receiving portion 52c. After inserting, the process from the sheet position setting process to the bag forming process can be automatically repeated until the roll is exhausted.

The bran is not supplied to the bran supply cylinder 53 except during the bran filling process. That is, as described above, the bran transfer spiral 7a is stopped. Thereby, the bag F containing the bran can be manufactured in a set amount without scattering the bran.

When the bran pack device 7 having the above configuration is applied as a bran pack device in a fully automatic rice milling facility or the like, by arranging at least a part of the roll supply unit B for supplying the sheet A in the guest room 11a, the equipment room can be used. In addition to saving space, the roll of the sheet A can be easily replaced without the need for troublesome work such as moving the bag.

As shown in FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the connected state, in a configuration in which the opening of the bag F made of a resin sheet is approached or joined to the bran supply cylinder 53 to supply the bran, the continuity detecting means 61 is stable so as not to conduct. Since the resin sheet becomes conductive when it is about to come off (b) compared to when it is fixed (a), when the resin sheet is not sufficiently fixed, a fixing NG signal is issued to prevent the bran from being scattered due to the fall of the bag F. Can be done. It can also be configured in the same manner as described above by the light detection means.

As shown in the exploded perspective view in FIG. 11, the case where the exterior cover D of the housing of the bran pack device 7 is a sheet metal exterior fixed with screws while suppressing the scattering of the bran by the dustproof effect by using a resin film. It is possible to perform agile maintenance without the trouble of attaching and detaching the screws.

As shown in FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of the delivery portion of the bran pack device 7, regarding the delivery of the bran pack P, the bran pack is delivered to the chute 56 that guides the delivery of the bran pack P dropped after the bag F is sealed. By providing the detection means E and controlling the operation of the rice mill 6, the rice bran pack P can be grasped from the discharge to the retention state on the chute 56 by a single detection means without requiring the bran pack detection means at the delivery destination. be able to.

[Acquisition of temperature information]
FIG. 13A is an explanatory diagram of the air temperature information setting screen 81 of the air temperature information used when the air temperature information is set in the rice milling facility 1. Here, the temperature information refers to information indicating the temperature at a specific time in units of at least one of a month, a day, and a time zone. Hereinafter, the air temperature information set in the rice milling facility 1 is referred to as a set air temperature. For example, the rice milling facility 1 may be configured so that the set temperature for one year can be set and the temperature can be set in detail for each time zone in a specific month or day, or the temperature can be easily set for each month. It may be a possible configuration. Further, the temperature may be set collectively for a plurality of months such as January to March.

The rice milling facility 1 has a configuration in which the input of the air temperature information is received from the air temperature information setting screen 81 and the air temperature information input by the administrator is acquired as a means for acquiring the air temperature information. Then, the input temperature information is stored in the storage unit of the control unit C, so that the temperature information is set. Here, the temperature information setting screen 81 may be provided on the operation panel 13 on a touch panel type liquid crystal screen and displayed, or the temperature information setting screen 81 may be displayed on an information terminal having a touch panel function connected to the rice milling facility 1 via a network. It may be configured to display and accept input. For example, a dedicated application is stored in a mobile terminal, and by executing the application, the administrator transmits temperature information from the mobile terminal to the rice milling facility 1 by wireless communication or the like, and the rice milling facility 1 transmits the temperature via a network. The information can be acquired by the communication device 18. As a result, the administrator can set the temperature information from a remote location, and can quickly and easily set the temperature information for a plurality of rice milling facilities 1 from a single information terminal. , Convenience increases.

The temperature information setting screen 81 shows an example in which the temperature is set on a monthly basis. The administrator selects the month for which the temperature is to be set with the period setting button 81a, then inputs the temperature with the temperature input button 81b, and presses the enter button 81c to set the temperature information. When the decision button 81c is pressed, the control unit C stores the input temperature information in the storage unit.

FIG. 13B shows an example of the temperature information setting screen 81 for setting the temperature information by dividing the time zone into morning / night and daytime in more detail from the above-mentioned monthly temperature setting. is there. In this case, when a specific month is selected with the period setting button 81a of FIG. 13 (a), the transition to the temperature information setting screen 81 of FIG. It is set by the input button 81b. Further, as a setting method according to the time zone, for example, the temperature information may be set in more detail by dividing the time every hour. Further, in order to improve operability, a dedicated button for screen transition may be provided on the temperature information setting screen 81.

Further, the temperature information may be acquired from a website connected to the rice milling facility 1 via a network. Specifically, the rice milling facility 1 connects to a specific website including temperature information at predetermined time intervals by the communication device 18, and acquires the data of the website. Next, the control unit C analyzes the acquired website data by executing a predetermined program, extracts the temperature information, and sets the extracted temperature information in the storage unit. With this configuration, the rice milling facility 1 can automatically set the temperature information in conjunction with the update of the website, so that the administrator can save the trouble of setting the temperature information and the convenience is increased. In particular, when the manager needs to set the temperature information in a plurality of rice milling facilities 1, the labor is greatly reduced and the convenience is high.

[Control amount of welding means]
FIG. 14A is an explanatory diagram illustrating the relationship between the set air temperature and the controlled amount of the welding means of the bran pack device 7. More specifically, in FIG. 14A, the vertical axis represents the set air temperature, the horizontal axis represents the heater energization time which is the control amount, and the suitable control amount is shown by the control amount straight line L. That is, the control unit C is configured to gradually decrease the energizing time in proportion to the increase in the set temperature and gradually increase the energizing time in proportion to the decrease in the set temperature. In general, the higher the temperature, the more likely it is that overwelding will occur, and the lower the temperature, the more likely it will be insufficient welding. Therefore, in this way, the control unit C skillfully increases or decreases the control amount supplied to the heating element according to the set air temperature, thereby stabilizing the welding heat even if the temperature of the outside air changes, resulting in insufficient welding. And overwelding can be prevented.
The broken line shown in the figure of FIG. 14A indicates the range of the controlled amount that can produce the bran pack P without insufficient welding or overwelding at a specific temperature. Further, the triangular figures at both ends of the broken line indicate the threshold value at which the bran pack P can be prepared without insufficient welding or overwelding at the specific temperature. The control amount straight line L is configured to pass near the intermediate value of the threshold value at each temperature so that the bran pack P can be suitably prepared without insufficient welding or overwelding. The controlled variable straight line L is not limited to a straight line and may be a curved line.

FIG. 14B shows a specific example of the energizing time according to the set air temperature. For example, when the set temperatures of January to March, April to June, July to September, and October to December are set to 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, and 10 degrees, respectively, the control unit C is shown in the figure. As shown by the control amount straight line L shown in 14 (a), the energizing time of the corresponding month is set to 1400 msec, 1300 msec, 1200 msec, and 1400 msec, respectively.

Here, the control unit C may be configured to correct the preset set temperature to the detected air temperature detected by the temperature detection device 19 at a predetermined timing. As a result, the set temperature at the time of welding is optimized, and it is possible to more preferably prevent insufficient welding or overwelding. Further, if the timing of correcting the set air temperature is linked with the timing when the air temperature detecting device 19 detects the air temperature, the latest air temperature is reflected in the set air temperature, which is preferable. Further, the timing at which the air temperature detecting device 19 detects the air temperature is preferably when the operation of the rice milling machine 6 is detected. In this way, by limiting the timing at which the air temperature detecting device 19 detects the air temperature, the power consumption of the rice milling equipment 1 can be suppressed when the rice bran pack P is not expected to be welded, such as when the rice milling machine 6 is not operated. , Energy saving is achieved.

Here, the timing of detecting the operation of the rice milling machine 6 can be the time when the detection signal from the rotary valve rotation sensor 6s for detecting the feeding amount of the brown rice tank 2 is acquired. It should be noted that, as the timing for detecting the operation of the rice milling machine 6, when the charge input information is acquired by the coin sensor, the whitening degree selection switch 13b is the person provided in the rice milling facility 1 when the information related to the rice milling processing conditions is acquired. Various types can be selected according to the timing of welding of the bran pack P, such as when the detection sensor 6u detects a person.

Further, the control unit C can directly set the detected air temperature as the set temperature and use it as the control amount of the welding means, regardless of the above configuration in which the preset set temperature is modified by the detected air temperature. In this case, it is convenient to save the trouble of setting the temperature information in advance. Further, it is possible to deal with the case where the control unit C cannot acquire the set temperature due to the loss of data or the like.

Further, although the set air temperature is mentioned as a factor for changing the control amount, the control amount may be changed by reflecting the value of the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 6t. For example, the control unit C is configured so that the higher the humidity, the more the control amount increases than a predetermined value, and the lower the humidity, the lower the control amount. Therefore, it is possible to more preferably prevent a situation where welding shortage or the like occurs.

[Notification means]
In the above, the configuration in which the set temperature is corrected to the detected air temperature detected by the air temperature detection device 19 is shown, but the control unit C has a predetermined value for the difference between the detected air temperature detected by the air temperature detection device 19 and the set air temperature. When it is determined that the above is the case, the communication device 18 may transmit predetermined notification information and notify the information terminal of the administrator via the network. For example, a dedicated application can be stored in the information terminal of the administrator in advance, and when the notification information is transmitted, the application can be started and the notification content can be displayed on the information terminal. According to this configuration, even when there is little need for the rice milling facility 1 to correct the set temperature to the detected temperature, when an unexpected temperature difference occurs, the administrator is informed that the set temperature and the detected temperature are significantly increased. By notifying that a difference has occurred, the administrator can correct the set temperature, so that a situation in which insufficient welding or the like occurs can be prevented. In addition, even when the temperature is out of season, it can be suitably dealt with.

Further, the range of the control amount that can be created by the bran pack P for each temperature in advance without causing overwelding or insufficient welding is stored in the storage unit as data, and the control unit C stores the detected air temperature by the air temperature detecting device 19. Based on the data in the storage unit, it is determined whether or not the current control amount is within the control amount that can be created by the bran pack P without causing overwelding or insufficient welding at the detected temperature, and it is out of the range. At this time, the broadcast information may be transmitted to the information terminal of the administrator. In this case, the data of the storage unit to be referred to is, for example, the threshold value at which the bran pack can be created without insufficient welding or overwelding at the specific temperature shown by the triangular figures at both ends of the broken line in FIG. 14A. It is converted into data. With this configuration, notification to the administrator can be made more effective.
