Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a receiving and processing section in a grain processing facility, and more specifically, it includes a plurality of hoppers for receiving grain from a supplier, and a system for receiving and transporting the received grain in the plurality of hoppers. A conveyance means, a plurality of tanks that receive and temporarily store the grains conveyed by the conveyance means, a rough sorter that receives and roughly sorts the grains stored in the plurality of tanks, and a rough sorter that roughly sorts the grains by the coarse sorter. The present invention relates to a consignment processing section in a grain processing facility equipped with a weighing machine that weighs sorted grain.

0002

[Prior Art] In such a cargo receiving processing section, a plurality of hoppers are installed so that grains from a plurality of suppliers can be received, and each supplier can input his or her own grain into each hopper. It has become. Furthermore, a plurality of tanks are installed corresponding to the number of installed hoppers. The grains loaded into any one of the plurality of hoppers are transferred to one of the plurality of tanks using the conveying means (the correspondence between the hopper and the tank is determined in advance). ), and from there, it is supplied to the rough sorting machine and weighing machine, where it is subjected to predetermined processing. The conveying means includes, for example, a combination of a belt conveyor and an elevator, and there is one conveyor between the plurality of hoppers and the plurality of tanks.
There is only one line, and it is meant to be shared. Therefore, the grain is transported between the two hoppers only after the grain stored in one of the plurality of hoppers has been transported by the transport means and the transport means can receive the grain. This method was carried out in such a way that the stored grains were transported by the transport means.

0003

When a large amount of grain is processed in such a receiving processing section, the efficiency of the processing therein can be improved by making full use of the rough sorting machine and weighing machine. If the processing is to be carried out efficiently, it would be desirable to improve the conveying speed of the conveying means, which has only one line, in order to constantly supply grain to the plurality of tanks. However, there was a limit due to the fact that the equipment became larger and too much energy was consumed to drive it. Therefore, in the past, the conveying capacity of the conveying means was insufficient, and it was not possible to carry out an operation in which grain was constantly supplied to the plurality of tanks and each facility was effectively utilized. Therefore, even if a plurality of hoppers and tanks are provided, grain processing can only be carried out without being able to utilize them (particularly the latter) effectively, and there is a problem in that the amount of grain processing cannot be sufficiently increased. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a means for increasing the grain processing amount in an energy-saving manner by effectively utilizing each equipment of the cargo receiving processing section.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] A characteristic configuration of the cargo receiving processing section in the grain processing equipment according to the present invention is that a plurality of lines of the conveyance means are provided, and the plurality of hops are provided at the upstream ends of the conveyance means of the plurality of lines in the conveyance direction. are connected in a distributed manner, and
The plurality of tanks are connected in a distributed manner at the downstream end thereof.

[0005]

[Operation] The plural line conveying means has a plurality of hoppers connected in a distributed manner at the upstream end and a plurality of tanks connected in a distributed manner at the downstream end, so that grains are constantly supplied from the plurality of hoppers to the plurality of tanks. This is achieved by conveying the grains in parallel through the plurality of lines. In each line where the conveyance is performed, the required amount of conveyance by the respective conveying means is smaller than that of conventional conveying means, so there is no need to increase the conveying speed as with conventional conveying means. What is necessary is to install a conveyance means. Also,
When the amount of grain received is small and some of the plurality of hoppers become empty, driving of the conveying means of the line corresponding to the empty hopper can be stopped.

[0006]

According to the present invention, grain can be continuously supplied from the plurality of hoppers to the plurality of tanks even if a smaller conveying means than the conventional one is provided in each of the lines as described above, and When the amount of grain received is small, part of the conveying means can be stopped as described above. Therefore, it is possible to constantly supply grain to the plurality of tanks, to fully utilize each equipment of the cargo receiving processing section, and to increase the grain processing amount in an energy-saving manner.
