The management mobile terminal 5 and the administrator mobile terminal 6 are connected to each other via an Internet line.
Further, the dried paddy is discharged from the grain dryer 2 to the paddy sorter 3, and the brown rice sorted by the paddy sorter 3 is supplied to the rice sorter 4.

The grain dryer 2 is provided with a weighing scale (not shown) for measuring the weight of the stuffed grain (paddy) or a stuffing amount sensor (not shown) for measuring the stuffing capacity, and paddy the dried grain. When discharging to the sorter 3, the weight is subtracted.

The paddy-sliding machine is provided with a paddy-sliding section 14 for paddling and a sorting section 15 for sorting paddy and brown rice, and switches whether the brown rice sorted by the sorting section 15 is discharged from the 1st outlet 12 or circulated in the machine. It is equipped with a discharge circulation switching valve (not shown).

The rice sorting machine 4 supplies sized brown rice, which is obtained by sorting and removing waste rice from brown rice hulled by a cylindrical rotary sorting net 4a extending in the vertical direction, to a bag H placed on the weighing machine 10 and supplies a predetermined amount ( For example, when it reaches 30 kg), the supply is automatically stopped. Then, the operator removes the bag H from the weighing machine 10 and packs it in a bag. The number of bags can be confirmed by information communication, and the rice sorting machine 4 is also configured to enable data communication so that the harvested area and grain amount can be input in advance from the work management mobile terminal 5 such as a tablet. As shown in FIG. 2 as an example of displaying the processing information for each drying, the number of bags per field is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner according to the processing amount (the number of bags by the rice sorting machine 4 and the padding time).

Explaining FIG. 2, grain information (moisture value, filling weight, weight after drying, etc.) of a plurality of grain dryers, product weight (quantity of sized brown rice) sorted by rice sorting machine 4, and non-product weight (weight of sized brown rice) Waste rice weight) is displayed. The number of bags actually counted is displayed in the remarks column or the number of bags display column.

The number of bags used by the rice sorting machine 4 can be converted to make it easier to understand when the sorting mechanism parts and the like are consumed and replaced. That is, every time the number of bags packed reaches the set number (for example, 1000 bags), the work management mobile terminal 5 may indicate that the rotary sorting net 4a or the like is to be maintained.

The estimated time from the start of paddy to the end of paddy sorting is calculated by counting the number of bags or product weight for a predetermined time, for example, 5 minutes, and converting the efficiency of the rice sorting machine 4, and the grain of the grain dryer is combined. It is converted from the amount and displayed on the work management mobile terminal 5.

In the present embodiment, the paddy sorting operation may be started, for example, by switching the discharge circulation switching valve from the circulation side to the discharge side so that the brown rice can be discharged from the first outlet 12. ..

The maximum feeding amount of the rotary valve 3b is adjusted to the maximum capacity of the rice sorting machine 4, and when supplying to the rice sorting machine 4, the tank is always filled and supplied to the rice sorting machine 4 by the rotation of the rotary valve 3b.

The amount supplied by the rotary valve 3b can be converted into weight, and the amount of waste rice separated by the rice sorting machine 4 can be calculated as the difference from the amount of bagged brown rice. The yield can be easily grasped. Further, it may be configured to perform good sorting by interlocking with the rotation speed of the rotation sorting net 4a of the rice sorting machine 4.

A paddy button (adjustment button) is provided on the work list screen of the work management mobile terminal 5, the work after drying to perform paddy is selected from the work list, and the paddy button is pressed down to perform paddy slide. Data collection of (or sorter) starts, the status is displayed on the product weight shelf during padding (or adjustment), and the product weight is automatically written when the work is completed, so that the data is automatically collected. Is possible.

The operation time of the rice sorting machine 4 can be clearly calculated by converting the number of bags from the time when the weight display changes from "0" to "1".

In addition, counting is stopped when the weight display of the rice sorting machine 4 does not increase or decrease, counting is started when the weight display changes from "0" to "1", and the motor of the rice sorting machine 4 is stopped. The work time can be clearly calculated by not counting the increase in the weight display at the time, but by starting the count when the weight display changes from "0" to "1" by starting the motor.

Further, when the rice sorting machine 4 has a function of displaying the number of bags or controlling (displaying) the number of rotations of the rotation sorting net 4a, the working time can be clearly calculated by changing the count according to the change.

(Another configuration example)
Next, another configuration example in which data is linked by an IC tag will be described.
Record the data measured by a dryer equipped with a weigh scale and a moisture meter on an IC tag, attach it to the brown rice bag used for the rice sorting machine 4, and record the data each time the weighing is completed with the rice sorting machine 4. By configuring the rice sorting machine 4 to count the data, traceability management and yield management from harvesting to shipping become possible.

In this case, by equipping the rice sorting machine 4 with the moisture meter 16 for the sized brown rice, it is possible to manage the finished moisture value with high accuracy only by the brown rice, so that additional information is added to the IC tag when the measurement is completed. By using it as centralized management data for field crop management support, traceability management and yield management from harvest to shipment and its centralized management become possible.

In addition, the rice sorting machine 4 is equipped with a waste rice sensor that detects the amount of waste rice so that the waste rice rate can be managed, and when the weighing is completed, it is stored as additional information in the IC tag and is a unified support for field crop management. By utilizing it as managed data, traceability management, yield management from harvest to shipment, and centralized management thereof become possible.

(Technical significance)
The technical significance of the grain preparation equipment with the above configuration is summarized as follows.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the grain preparation facility 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the producer information of the paddy paddy of the grain dryer 2, the paddy paddy information, the packing quantity, etc. are used for work management. It is displayed on the mobile terminal 5 in a series of table formats for each drying process in an easy-to-read manner, and the harvest result (brown rice amount) for each producer can be easily grasped by the quantity of products packed in a 30 kg bag or the like.

Further, based on the grain amount information of the grain dryer 2, the predicted number of bags to be packed by the rice sorting machine 4 is calculated and displayed on the work management mobile terminal 5 during the paddy sorting work. It becomes easier for the manager to make a work forecast using the predicted quantity as a guide, and it becomes easier to predict the work time.

For example, the weight of paddy at the end of drying is 1600 kg, the number of bags packed in 5 minutes from the start of bagging work is 5 bags (about 150 kg), and the amount of paddy discharged from the grain dryer 2 is If the weight is 160 kg, the time required to bag the remaining paddy can be calculated to be about 45 minutes.

In addition, the predicted number of bags can be calculated with high accuracy by predicting the number of bags based on the amount of brown rice converted from the amount of paddy in the grain dryer.

In addition, the work time of the paddy sorting work can be predicted by providing a predictive work time calculation means for counting the number of bags packed for a predetermined time from the start of weighing of the rice sorting machine 4 and calculating the time required for the end. it can.

Further, the rice sorting machine 4 is provided with a supply tank 4a with a feeding amount adjusting valve to receive brown rice from the paddy sorting machine 3, and the difference between the feeding amount of the supply tank 4a and the bagging amount of the rice sorting machine 4 is calculated. By providing the small rice amount calculation means, the small rice amount can be grasped with high accuracy.

Further, by providing the mobile terminal 6 for managers who receives information from the mobile terminal 5 for work management every predetermined number of bags packed by the rice sorting machine 4, the mobile terminal 6 for managers is provided for each fixed amount of work (for example, 50 bags). By configuring the bagging number to be distributed to the administrator's mobile terminal 6, the administrator can easily manage the paddy sorting work from the bagging process.

The technical concept of the grain preparation equipment of the present embodiment will be described in detail.
It is desirable that the manager can predict the time required for the work of sorting the rice dried by the grain dryer 2 with the paddy sorter 3 and selecting the rice with the rice sorter 4. Therefore, the work time required for the bagging work is predicted from the number of bags packed in the first set time after the start of the rice selection work. This makes it easier for managers to schedule the entire work during the harvest season.

Also important for the manager is the amount of product weight (sized brown rice) to be packed in a bag. Therefore, by inputting the number of bags actually packed and the sized brown rice into the work management mobile terminal 5, for example, the yield for each field can be grasped, and the manager can effectively use the information. it can.
