And, the huller main motor 19 for driving the huller sorter 4 is provided. A partition plate position detection sensor 25 for detecting the partition position of the brown rice partition plate 18 is provided. Since the amount of brown rice discharged from the paddy sorting machine 4 as finished brown rice changes depending on the position of the brown rice partition plate 18, the position information of the brown rice partition plate 18 detected by the partition plate position detection sensor position 25 is the so-called paddy sorting. It is a scale for judging the sorting efficiency of the machine 4. Further, a huller power meter 30 for detecting the amount of electric power of the huller main motor 19 is provided.

Next, the work process of drying the harvested paddy with the grain dryer K, sorting the paddy with the paddy sorter 4 to make brown rice, and packing the brown rice in each set amount with the measuring instrument 7 will be described. do.

The paddy harvested from the fields A and B is put into the grain dryer K1. The grain dryer K1 is equipped with a weight scale 32 such as a load cell, and measures the weight of the stuffed grain.

When the grain dryer K1 dries to the target moisture value, the drying operation ends. Then, the information on the weight of the paddy at the end of drying and the drying operation time is transmitted to the management terminal T.

The paddy that has finished the drying operation is supplied to the grain storage tank 3 for temporary storage, and is sequentially supplied to the paddy sorting machine 4 for paddy sorting. The brown rice sorted by the paddy sorting machine 4 passes through the rice sorting machine 5, sorts the scrap rice mixed with the brown rice, and stores it in the finished grain storage tank 6. A predetermined amount of brown rice is stored in a brown rice bag h (30 kg per bag) from the finished grain storage tank 6 by a measuring instrument 7, and the operator performs bagging work.

The paddy sorting work time required for the paddy sorting machine 4 and the time required for the brown rice bagging work by the measuring instrument 7 are transmitted to the management terminal T. At the same time, the information on the amount of brown rice weighed by the measuring instrument 7 is transmitted to the management terminal T.

(A) of FIG. 2 shows the total operation time, which is the sum of the drying operation time of the grain stuck in the grain dryer K1, the paddy sorting operation time, and the time required for each work process of the weighing operation time. It is a bar graph shown in the screen of the management terminal T. That is, the length of the rod indicates the length of time. Further, on the side of the bar graph, the total weight of paddy measured by the weighing scale 32 of the grain dryer K1 and the total weight of brown rice measured by the measuring instrument 7 are displayed.

FIG. 2B is a diagram showing on the screen that the total operating time and the operating time required for each work process are apportioned according to the size of each of the fields A and B.

(C) of FIG. 2 shows a table in which the total weight of paddy and the total weight of brown rice are proportionally divided by the size of each of the fields A and B, and further, the sales amount converted from the amount of brown rice and the sales. The profit obtained by subtracting the fuel cost and the electric energy cost from the amount is displayed.

The fuel is detected from the detection data of the fuel flow meter 14, and is converted from the preset unit price of the fuel. The electric power amount is converted from the detection data of the power meter (27, 30) provided in the main motor motor 26 of the grain dryer K, the main motor 19 of the paddy sorting machine 4, and the like. The unit price of electric energy is set in advance like the unit price of fuel. Then, the amount obtained by subtracting the fuel and electricity charges from the sales amount is displayed as a profit. As a result, the manager can get an estimate of the profit obtained for each field.

FIG. 3 shows the operations required for each work process of the grain drying operation time, the paddy sorting operation time, and the weighing operation time when the grains of the fields C, D, and E are loaded into the grain dryer K2. It is a bar graph which shows the total operation time which added the time. Then, it is a figure which shows that the total operation time and the operation time required for each work process were proportionally divided by the size of each of the field C, the field D, and the field E. The idea is the same as in FIG.

The effects of FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described.

By apportioning the total operating time according to the size of the field, it is possible to easily convert the working time for each field as a guide. In addition, it is possible to easily convert and grasp the amount of finished brown rice, the sales amount, the cost, and the profit for each field as a guide.

Further, by comparing the operating times of the grain dryer K1 and the grain dryer K2, it is possible to grasp the status of the efficiency of each work process. For example, when it is determined that the work process of the paddy sorting machine 4 is longer than usual, it is possible to verify the sorting efficiency from the position information of the brown rice partition plate 17 by the partition plate position detection sensor 25 at that time. .. Further, when the working time of the grain dryer K is long, it is possible to verify the setting of the drying speed.

FIG. 3 shows the total amount of finished brown rice weighed by the grain of the grain dryer K1 with a measuring instrument and proportionally divided by the size of the field A and the field B. Thereby, the amount of brown rice in the field A and the field B can be converted by a simple method.

The amounts of "sales amount", "fuel", "electric power", and "profit" shown in the tables of FIGS. 2 and 3 are not exact values based on tests and the like, but show an example.

Further, although the measuring instrument 7 of this embodiment is provided on the side of the finished grain storage tank 6, a so-called weighing and sorting machine provided with the measuring instrument on the rice sorting machine 5 may be used.

As an example of this embodiment, for example, the weight of the grain (paddy) at the end of the drying operation is measured, the predicted amount of finished brown rice is converted, and the number of bags h used in the measuring instrument 7 is calculated. By converting and displaying, the administrator can prepare the bag h in advance. Further, from the predicted amount of finished brown rice, it is possible to detect that the operation time by the paddy sorting machine 4 is nearing the end and display that fact on the management terminal T. Here, the fact that the operation time of the paddy sorter 4 is near the end means that, for example, a sensor that detects the presence or absence of grains in the grain dryer K when the grains are discharged from the grain dryer K (in this embodiment). There is a timing shortly before the moisture meter 12) is expected to detect no grain.

Regarding the apportionment by field according to FIGS. 2 and 3, in addition to the size of the field, the apportionment may be performed based on the weight of the grain measured by the weight scale 32 of the grain dryer K. Regarding the measurement of the grain weight for each field in this case, for example, the value of the grain weight measured by the weigh scale 32 at the time when the grain of the field A is finished to be loaded into the grain dryer K1 is stored, and then the field is stored. The value of the grain weight at the time when the filling of the grain of B into the grain dryer K1 is completed is stored. Then, the value of the grain weight of each of the fields A and B is transmitted to the management terminal T, and the management terminal T proportionally divides the values based on the ratio of the grain weights of each of the fields A and B. In the present embodiment, after the filling of the grain in the field A is completed, the manager manually inputs the finished grain to the management terminal T as the field A. Then, next, after the filling of the grain in the field B is completed, the manager manually inputs the finished grain to the management terminal T as the field B.

According to this embodiment, it can be apportioned based on the weight of the actual grain harvested in the field and loaded into the grain dryer.

In addition to the grain weight, a sensor that detects the volume of the grain may be used to apportion the volume (bulk) of the field A and the field B at the time of filling.
