Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention can be used in a communal drying facility easily and quickly by using a huller installed in a self-testing machine without using a dedicated test huller. This invention relates to a device for removing paddy for water content measurement in a self-testing machine that can obtain brown rice for water content measurement.

Prior Art Conventionally, in communal drying facilities, in order to check again whether the dried paddy after being dried by the dryer has reached the desired moisture level, a part of the dried paddy is removed and dried. Needless to exemplify the method of measuring the moisture content of dried paddy by removing the unhulled rice using a separately installed test hulling machine and subjecting the resultant unhulled rice to a moisture meter, it is extremely common practice to do so. In addition, in the case of communal drying facilities, as part of the work series, in order to clarify the ownership of each raw material paddy rice brought in by individual and consignee, raw materials are divided by producer, individual, and consignee. For the purpose of testing each paddy rice and obtaining the basic numbers for calculating the distribution of sales proceeds from producers when selling paddy rice, various payments associated therewith, and facility usage fees, we will use input hoppers, sample paddy rice scales, and hullers. The machine and the sorting machine are connected in series, and the weight of the sorted brown rice and waste grains discharged from the sorter is weighed separately with a scale to determine the grain yield and waste grains to certify the quality of the sample paddy rice. It is also well known that self-testing machines capable of calculating yields (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-113833 or 1987-146451) are used.

Problems that the invention aims to solve By the way, in the well-known communal drying facility mentioned above, an expensive test hulling machine is installed in order to obtain sample brown rice for measuring the moisture content of dried paddy during the operation sequence. In addition, the self-testing machine installed in the same work line is also equipped with a huller to remove a small amount of sample paddy, similar to the test huller. This means that two rice hulling machines capable of carrying out this process have been installed.

Therefore, if the hulling machine installed in the self-testing machine can also be used as a hulling machine to obtain sample brown rice for measuring the moisture content of dried rice, an expensive test hulling machine will be unnecessary, and the facilities will be reduced accordingly. The question arose of how to save money.

Therefore, the present invention enables the test paddy input gutter and the test brown rice collection box to be freely inserted and removed into the supply side and discharge side of the huller installed in the self-testing machine, and has a simple operation and configuration. The above-mentioned problem has been solved by providing a device for removing paddy for measuring moisture content in a self-testing machine that can be easily used for both purposes.

Means to Solve the Problems Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to analyze sample brown rice for measuring the moisture content of dry paddy and brown rice for certifying the quality of sample unhulled rice using one self-testing machine. The aim is to have the rice hulling work changed at any time to obtain the rice.

In order to solve this technical problem, its configuration is
In particular, the supply hopper of the huller is provided with the tip side of the test paddy input gutter, which is removably inserted through the machine wall of the self-testing machine, and the bottom of the discharge device of the huller is also provided with the machine of the self-testing machine. This is a paddy removal device for measuring moisture content, which is characterized by inserting and removing a test brown rice collection box through the wall.

Function Next, the technical means of the present invention works as follows (see drawings).

Now, when performing the original self-inspection work using the self-inspection machine 1, a small amount (for example, one
Kg) of unhulled rice are extracted respectively, and these unhulled rice are dried to a constant moisture content (for example, 14.5%) using a test dryer to obtain a large number of sample unhulled rice.

Then, a portion of these sample unhulled rice (e.g. 300
g) is further extracted and fed into the input hopper 6 provided on the front side of the self-testing machine 1, and at the same time, the self-testing machine 1 is operated.

Then, the sample unhulled rice is supplied to the sample unhulled rice weighing machine 2 and its weight is measured, and then supplied to the next hulling machine 3 where it is de-aired and sorted, and then supplied to the sorting machine 4, where it is The grain-sized brown rice and waste grains are each separately put into the sample unhulled rice scale 2 and weighed, and the grain-sizing yield and scrap grain yield are calculated to certify the quality of the sample unhulled rice. distribution of producer sales proceeds and related payments;
You can obtain the standard figures for calculating facility usage fees.

By the way, if you want to use the self-testing device 1 to check whether the moisture content of dried paddy is at the predetermined moisture level during the joint drying work, first, check the supply hopper 9 of the huller 3. After inserting the self-testing machine 1 through the machine wall 5 so that the tip side of the test paddy input gutter 10 is facing, only the hulling machine 3 is operated, and at the same time, test paddy for moisture content measurement is supplied via the test paddy input gutter 10. Supply to hopper 9. Then, the test paddy is removed from the air by the huller 3, becomes brown rice, and is stored in the discharge device 11. When a predetermined amount of test brown rice is stored in this way, the test brown rice collection box 12 is inserted through the machine wall 5 of the self-inspection machine 1 into the lower part of the discharge device 11 of the huller 3, and the previously stored test brown rice is Test brown rice Brown rice collection box 1
2 and pulled out, and the moisture value is set using a separately provided moisture measuring device.

Embodiment The configuration of the moisture measuring paddy removal device in the self-testing machine according to the present invention will be explained based on a preferred embodiment shown in the attached drawings.

In the drawing, 1 indicates a smaller amount (for example, 1
Kg) of unhulled rice is extracted, and these unhulled rice are heated with a test dryer (not shown) to a certain moisture content (e.g.
The weight of a large number of samples of unhulled rice obtained by drying to 14.5%) is measured using a scale 2, and then passed through a huller 3 and a sorter 4 to take out sized brown rice and waste grains. The grained brown rice and waste grains are fed again to the weighing machine 2 and their weights are measured to calculate the grain-sized brown rice yield and waste grain yield, and the distribution of sales proceeds to producers when selling unhulled rice and this. This is a self-testing machine that can bag samples for calculation standards for various payments and facility usage fees associated with the self-testing machine 1, and the front side of the machine wall 5 of the self-testing machine 1 is equipped with a removable input hopper 6. A plurality of .

Two windows 7 and 8 are opened in the machine wall 5 of the self-inspection machine 1 in which the hulling machine 3 is housed.
A cylindrical test paddy input window 10 with both sides open for inputting test paddy for moisture value measurement into the supply hopper 9 of the huller 3 is inserted into one window 7 and can be inserted and removed freely. A test brown rice collection box 12 having an open top and located below the discharge device 11 of the huller 3 can be freely inserted into and removed from the window 8. Therefore, during the self-inspection work, the above-mentioned huller 3 is not used in conjunction with other measuring instruments 2,
Although it is operated together with the sorting machine 4, during the hulling operation of test paddy, the hulling machine 3 is controlled by a changeover switch 13 provided on the machine wall 5 so that only the hulling machine 3 is operated.

The discharge device 11 of the huller 3 is configured as follows. That is, a transport conveyor 14 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the huller 3 to transport the removed test brown rice in one direction, and at the end of the transport conveyor 14 there is a transport conveyor 14 for transporting the removed test brown rice in one direction. A storage tank 15 is installed to temporarily store brown rice. The storage tank 15 has an open top 16 and a drop port 17 at the bottom, and a shutter 19 on the lower side of the storage tank 15 for opening and closing the drop port 7 using an air cylinder 18. is slidably provided. The air cylinder 18 is configured to be activated by a sensing limit switch 20 that is closed by the pressing action of the test brown rice collection box 12 when the test brown rice collection box 12 is inserted into the lower part of the discharge device 11 of the huller 3. has been done.

Effects of the invention In short, the present invention has the above-mentioned technical means and effects, so even if the self-inspection machine 1 consists of one machine, the sample paddy rice is sequentially placed at intervals from the input hopper 6, After feeding the grains to a scale and measuring their weight, they are de-aired and sorted by a huller 3, and then sorted brown rice and waste grains, which have been sorted by a sorter 4, are separately put into a weighing machine 2 and their weight is measured. When calculating the grading yield and waste grain yield for certifying the quality of sample unhulled rice, the original voluntary verification work can be accomplished easily. When the test paddy input gutter 10 is inserted into the hopper 9 through the machine wall 5 of the self-inspection machine 1, and the test brown rice collection box 12 is inserted through the machine wall 5 into the discharge device 11 of the huller 3, To easily obtain test brown rice for measuring the moisture content of dried paddy after it has been dried in the drying process, and to omit the test hulling machine conventionally used, resulting in significant savings in communal drying facility costs.
