Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the setting of control timing and to simplify an operation by executing accepting and metering control and sample taking out control with the same controller. CONSTITUTION:A metering controller 56 controls an accepting and metering terminal 65 to measure the accepting weight and moisture of unhulled rice by accepting and metering machines 7a, 7b according to an assignment signal from the keyboard 58 and inputs measurement data. The controller 56 causes an autonomous inspection controller 69 to execute the control to take out the sample unhulled rice and the control to input the autonomous inspection data. A sample drier 67 takes out a part of the unhulled rice metered by the accepting and metering machines 7a, 7b as the sample unhulled rice for calculating the producer's sales price of the unhulled rice and dries this unhulled rice. An autonomous inspecting machine 68 hulls the sample dried and unhulled rice and calculates the ratio of sized and unpolished rice and scrap rice. The metering control of the accepted unhulled rice and the control to take out the sample unhulled rice for inspecting quality are executed by the same controller 56 in such a manner.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention mainly targets grains such as rice, and
Concerns grain communal drying facilities such as country elevators, which consist of a storage section, preparation and shipping section, etc.

``Conventional technology'' Conventionally, during the receiving weighing process to measure the amount of incoming grain, a portion of the incoming grain was extracted as a sample for quality inspection, and the selling price of the grain was calculated based on that sample.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" In the above-mentioned prior art, the receiving weighing and sample taking were performed using separate controllers, so it was necessary to interconnect the receiving weighing controller and the sample taking controller, and the There are structural and handling problems, such as the need to carry out control operations for receiving goods, weighing, and taking out samples at the same time.

"Means for Solving the Problems" However, the present invention provides a receiving weighing control for measuring the amount of grain brought in,
The present invention is characterized in that the sample extraction control for extracting a portion of the imported grain as a sample for quality inspection is performed by the same controller.

"Function" Therefore, the control timing for receiving weighing and sample removal can be set more easily than before, and the initial setting operation and start command operation for the control for receiving weighing and sample removal can be performed more easily than before. , the control structure such as a controller and handling operations can be easily simplified compared to the conventional one.

In addition, by performing multiple weighing controls using the same controller, such as receiving weighing to measure the amount of incoming grain and selling weighing to measure the amount of sold grain, it is easy to aggregate or record the amount of received grain and storage amount. In addition, storage management such as drying and conditioning of grains can be easily performed, and grains brought in individually and by consignment can be comprehensively monitored up to shipment.

In addition, a controller that controls the receiving and conveying of incoming grain;
By providing a separate controller for controlling the receiving weighing that measures the amount of incoming grain, even if a malfunction occurs in the receiving and conveying section such as the conveyor, it is possible to easily prevent incorrect control of the receiving weighing due to this. This allows safe recording and storage of receiving and weighing data.
