Abstract

PURPOSE:To lay out the four walls of a building of a country elevator in such a way that the four walls serve as the common walls of each storage tank and product tank. CONSTITUTION:Two rows of silos 1 for a country elevator are laid out in two rows with a specified space. On one side of the end of the silos 1, there is laid out each product tank 2 whereas there is laid out each storage tank 3 on the other side. The side walls of each of the machines 1, 2 and 3 are designed to serve jointly as the four walls of a building. This construction makes it possible to reduce cost sharply by using the side walls of each machine of the country elevator for the four walls of the building.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to country elevators.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a plurality of silos for temporarily storing grains having a moisture content below a predetermined level are arranged in two rows in contact with each other. An office, a storage tank for storing raw grain, a storage tank blower for blowing air into the storage tank, a grain dryer for drying the grains, a drying blower for blowing hot air generated from a drying furnace to the dryer, It was a country elevator that was centrally equipped with a machine room for the hulling machine that hulled the grain, a product tank that stored the product grain, a product grain storage area, and a dust collector that collected dust.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] When grains arrive, each machine is started in the operation room, and the incoming grains are received by a receiving device, and transferred from this receiving device to a conveying device, transferred, and stored. The grains in this storage tank are pre-dried by ventilation drying using the air generated by the storage tank blower, and when the pre-drying is completed, they are transferred by a conveying device and put into the grain dryer. Then, hot air generated from the drying furnace is blown by a drying blower, and the grains in the dryer are exposed to this hot air and dried.

When the moisture content of the grains being dried in the dryer falls below a predetermined level, the grains are discharged from the dryer, transferred to a conveying device, supplied to a silo, and stored in the silo. The grains in the silo whose moisture content is below a predetermined moisture level are transferred to the dryer again by the conveying device and dried in the same manner as described above. When the grain moisture content reaches the finishing target moisture content, drying is stopped and this drying process is continued. The dried grains are discharged from the machine to a conveying device, transported by this conveying device, and supplied to a huller in the machine room, where they are hulled and separated into brown rice and rice husks. The rice husks are supplied to a product tank and stored or prepared for shipment, and the rice husks are discharged outside the machine. Further, dust generated from each machine during this series of operations is collected by a dust collector.

[0005] The four walls of the country elevator building in which the machines that perform these series of operations are installed are configured so that the walls of each of the silos, each of the storage tanks, and each of the product tanks are commonly used. This is an attempt to significantly reduce costs.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has a plurality of silos 1 arranged in two rows at a predetermined interval for storing grains to be re-dried, and one of the silos 1 is arranged in series at both ends between the silos 1, 1. A product tank 2 for storing product grains is provided on one side, and a storage tank 3 for storing raw grains and a grain dryer 4 are provided on the other side.
Between the product tank 2 and the storage tank 3, a machine room 6 including a huller 5 for hulling the grains, a product grain storage area 7, etc. are provided. is equipped with a receiving device 8 for receiving grain, an operation room 9, an office 10, etc.
On the other side are a drying furnace 11 that generates hot air, a drying blower 12 that blows the hot air to the dryer 4, a storage tank blower 13 that blows air to the storage tank 3, and a dust collector that collects dust. This country elevator is characterized in that it is equipped with 14 etc.

[0007]

[Operation of the invention] When grains are received, each machine is started in the operation room 9, and the received grains are received by the receiving device 8, and after rough selection and measurement are performed, they are transferred to the conveying device. The grains in this storage tank 3 are pre-dried by ventilation drying by the air generated by the storage tank blower 13, and when the pre-drying is completed, they are discharged to a conveying device, and the grains in this storage tank 3 are The grains are transferred by a device and put into the grain dryer 4, and the hot air generated from the drying furnace 11 is blown by the drying blower 12, and the grains in the dryer 4 are exposed to this hot air and dried. Ru.

When the moisture content of the grains being dried in the dryer 4 becomes less than a predetermined moisture content, the grains are discharged from the dryer 4 to a conveying device, transported by this conveying device, and supplied to the silo 1. It is stored in The grains in the silo 1 whose moisture content is below a predetermined moisture content are transferred again to the dryer 4 by the conveying device and dried in the same manner as described above, and when the grain moisture content reaches the finishing target moisture content, drying is stopped, The dried grains are discharged from this dryer 4 to a conveying device, transported by this conveying device, and supplied to a huller 5 in a machine room 6, where they are hulled and separated into brown rice and rice husks. After being sorted, the brown rice is either supplied to the product tank 2 and stored, or subjected to measurements for shipping, and the rice husks are discharged outside the machine. Further, dust generated from each machine during this series of operations is collected by a dust collector 14.

[0009]

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the silos 1 of a country elevator are arranged in two rows at a predetermined interval, and each product tank 2 is arranged in series at both ends between the silos 1 and 2 on one side.
and each storage tank 3 on the other side, the four walls of this country elevator building are connected to the walls of each silo 1, 1, each product tank 2, and each storage tank 3. By being able to share the space, we were able to significantly reduce the cost of the building.
