Next, the operation will be described. First, insert the inner pot 89 into the outer pot 88 of each rice cooker 5, 6 and position the lid 90 on the front side of the outer pot 88 (
Slide bearing 8 on the rice cooker without covering with 0
It moves to the rear side through 5 and is set in a predetermined position. In this case, since the lid 90 and the lid sensing actuator 94 are not in contact with each other, the switch 93 is turned off and the inner pot 8
9 and the inner pot sensing actuator 96 are in contact with each other, the switch 95 is turned on, and the ignition switch 1 for cooking rice is used.
Since 05 is "OFF", the shuttle set OK signal is output.

Next, the lid 73 is opened to lift the rice upward, and the rice is supplied to the funnel 63 of the rice storage 3. At this time, if the amount of rice is less than a predetermined amount (insufficient), the alarm buzzer operates and issues an additional alarm, so even when the position of the rice storage 3 is high, this state can be easily determined and the situation can be dealt with. It is possible.
Then, the worker turns on the button 104 for automatic driving.
Then, the reserved cooker increase button 99 or the reserved cooker decrease button 100 is pressed to input the desired number of rice cookers, and the cumulative number of cooks clear button 101 is pressed. Then, the reserved shuttle display device 102 displays, for example, "05" for 5 shuttles, and the cumulative shuttle number display device 103 displays "00".

Therefore, the metering roll 64 rotates and discharges the rice into the guide cylinder 72, and rotates when it reaches a predetermined number of rotations. During this time, the rice sent to the guide cylinder 72 is the top plate 44.
It enters the rice washing tank 151 through the input port 71 provided in the.
Further, since the electromagnetic valve 82 that receives a control signal from the control unit of the operation panel 97 opens, the water supply pipe 7 is supplied from the water source (for example, water supply).
6. The water having a high water pressure sent through the base water supply pipe 77 is branched and ejected from the nozzle 80 toward the central portion and the upper inner wall of the rice washing tank 15 through each water supply pipe 78. At this time, since the solenoids 36 and 37 are not energized and are in a non-excited state, the valve shafts 30 and 31 and the valves 28 and 29 are moved rearward by the springs 42 and 43 to move to the drainage port 23 and the water control port 26. Is open. Therefore, sewage containing foreign matters such as dust and nuka generated during the rice washing operation enters the water passage 21 from the rice washing tank 15 through the net 16 of the jacket 18 and then through the ports 23 and 26 to the drain box 27 to the water pipe 48. It is discharged to a predetermined place via. Then, the transmission of the control signal to the solenoid valve 82 is stopped after a predetermined time, and in connection with this, the solenoid valve 82 is closed to stop the water supply, but the so-called empty gap is called by the rotating washing rice blade 14. Perform the polishing work for a predetermined time (tens of seconds). This polishing work is performed multiple times during the washing work.

After that, when the solenoids 36 and 37 are energized and excited, the valve shafts 30 and 31 are ordinates 38 and 39, and the link 3
4.35 moves to the front side against the force of the springs 42 and 43, and closes the drain port 23 and the water control port 26. When the solenoid valve 83 is energized and excited, the water sent to the base water supply pipe 77 is diverted and a part of the water flows through the lower water supply pipe 50 into the water supply passage 49, and then the water passage 21 to the net 16 Pass through and enter the rice washing tank. Therefore, each nozzle 80
Since the water is increased by the upper side water supply supplied from the lower side water supply pipe 50 and the lower side water supply supplied from the lower side water supply pipe 50, it is possible to shorten the water supply time until the amount of water to be overflowed at the end of the rice washing work can be shortened and the work efficiency Can be improved. Further, at this time, since the rice washing blade 14 is rotating, the foreign matter mixed in the rice can be easily separated together with the lower water supply, and the washing effect can be enhanced.
The overflowing water enters the overflow pipe 47 from the overflow port 46 and drops into the drain box 27,
After that, it is discharged to a predetermined place through the drainage pipe 48 together with the foreign matter.

After a predetermined time, the solenoid valve 83 is closed to stop the lower water supply, the drainage port 23 and the water control port 26 are opened by stopping the energization of both solenoids 36 and 37, and the rotation of the rice washing blade 14 is stopped. The electromagnetic valve 82 is closed and the upper side water supply is stopped in that order. Therefore, the water stored in the rice washing tank 15 is discharged from the drain pipe 48 to a predetermined place through the net 16, the water channel 21, the drain port 23, and the drain box 27. At this time, water is discharged from both the drain port 23 and the water control port 26, so that the discharge time can be shortened, the work efficiency can be improved, and the lower surface of the water channel 21, that is, the upper surface of the lower lid 25 is obliquely provided. The flow of water in the water channel 21 can be made smooth and the residual water amount can be significantly reduced. Therefore, the amount of foreign matter remaining can be greatly reduced.

Next, when both solenoids 36 and 37 are energized and excited, the valve 28 closes the drain port 23 and the valve 29 closes the water control port 26 as described above. Subsequently, the electromagnetic valve 83 is opened to supply water to the rice washing tank 15 through the lower water supply, that is, the lower water supply pipe 50, the water supply passage 49, the water passage 21 and the net 16. Then, the water valve check timer is activated, and it is judged whether or not the overflow detection sensor 84 has been turned "ON" within a predetermined time. If it is judged that it has not reached, the solenoid valve 83 is closed. The energization of the solenoids 36 and 37 is stopped and abnormal processing is performed, that is, an alarm is issued.

On the other hand, when the overflow detection sensor 84 senses, wait a little while and close the solenoid valve 83, wait a few hours after that and stop energizing both solenoids 37 to deenergize. To do. In connection with this, the lower side water supply is stopped and the valve shaft 31 and the valve 29 are moved rearward so that the water in the rice washing tank 15 is supplied to the water passage 21, the water supply passage 49, and the water control port 26.
And, it passes through the drainage box 27, enters the drainage pipe 48, and discharges it to a predetermined place. In this case, since the water addition / reduction port 26 is made smaller than the diameter of the drainage port 23, the amount of water drainage from the drainage port 23 is smaller than the amount of water drained from the drainage port 23 when compared per unit time, and the accuracy of water addition / reduction can be improved. Then, when the time to reach the amount of water for cooking calculated from the amount of cooked rice input by the worker, that is, the amount of water addition / decrease by the amount of water addition check timer is up, the energization of the solenoid 37 is stopped. Therefore, in connection with this, the valve 29 closes the water addition / removal port 26 and finishes the water addition / reduction work.

Further, it is judged whether or not the overflow detection sensor 84 is turned "OFF" in this water addition / removal work,
If the water addition / reduction time is reached even though it is not "OFF", it is judged to be abnormal and an alarm is issued by a notification buzzer. Next, the rice cleaning blade rotating motor is driven to rotate the rice cleaning blade 14, and then the rice discharging motor is driven. Then, in connection with this, the vertical movement shaft 19 moves downward, so that the rice discharge valve 20 also moves in the same direction and opens the rice passage 17. Therefore,
The rice and water in the rice washing tank pass through the rice passage 17 and the rice cooker 5
Although it falls into the inner pot 89, the rice-washing blade 14 is also rotating at this time, so that the rice can be discharged smoothly and the remaining rice can be prevented.

When the rice discharging operation is completed, the driving of the rice-washing blade rotating motor and the rice discharging motor is stopped, the energization of both solenoids 36 and 37 is stopped, and the drainage port 23 and the amount of water added and removed. Each mouth 26 is opened. Further, since the electromagnetic valve 83 is opened and water is supplied from the water supply channel 49 to the water channel 21, foreign matters, broken rice, and the like remaining in the water channel can be washed out from the drain port 23 and the water addition port 26 to the drain box 27.

When the operator puts the lid 90 on the hook, the lid 90
Touches the lid sensing actuator 94, so switch 9
Turn 3 on. Then, the worker turns on the ignition switch 105 after a predetermined immersion time and starts the rice cooking work. When the rice discharging / draining work is completed, the rice discharging motor reverses to move the vertical shaft 19 to a predetermined position on the upper side, and the rice discharging valve 20 closes the rice passage 17, and then the rice measuring motor. The metering roll 64 is driven to rotate and the same operation as described above is performed to supply a predetermined amount of rice into the rice washing tank. Less than,
The same work as above is performed until the rice washing work.

When the rice washing operation is completed, it is determined whether or not the pot is right below the pot set. However, since "no lid", which is a condition of the pot set OK, is not provided, it is determined to be "NO".
Next, it is determined whether or not the other pot (the rice cooker 6 side in this embodiment) is set, but since the lid 90 is not covered with the inner pot, the switch 93 is turned "OFF", and the inner pot 89
Since the inner pot detecting actuator 96 and the inner pot detecting actuator 96 are in contact with each other, the switch 95 is turned "ON", and the ignition switch 10 for cooking rice is turned on.
Since No. 5 is "OFF", the signal for the shuttle set OK is output. As a result, it is determined that the other hook set "is present", and a drive command signal is sent to the motor 55 to drive the motor 55.

Then, this rotational power is transmitted via the motor shaft, the transmission collar 58, and the shaft of the rotating body 57, and is transmitted to the rotating body 5.
7 is rotated counterclockwise in a front view. At this time, the rotating body 57 moves to the left while sliding due to the friction between the friction body provided on the outer peripheral surface and the upper surface of the rear coupling body 10, and the rice storage box 3
When the central portion of the rice washing device 4 and the limit switch 87 are vertically overlapped, the limit switch 87 is turned “ON”.
The output of the drive command signal to the motor 55 is stopped. Therefore, the rice passage 17 of the rice washing tank 15 is stopped at a position located above the central portion of the inner pot 89. Next, rice removal mode
Since the vertical shaft 19 is driven to move downward, the rice discharge valve 20 also moves in the same direction and opens the rice passage 17.
As a result, the rice and water in the rice washing tank fall through the rice passage 17 into the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 6 while being stirred by the rotating rice washing blades 14. When the rice washing operation is completed, the driving of the rice washing blade rotation motor and the rice discharging motor is stopped, the energization of both solenoids 36 and 37 is stopped, and the drainage port 23 and the water control port 26 are opened. .. Further, since the electromagnetic valve 83 is opened to supply the water from the water supply channel 49 to the water channel 21, the residue in the water channel can be washed away and cleaning after the work can be facilitated.

Then, the worker puts the lid 90 on the pot and soaks it for a predetermined time, and turns on the ignition switch 105 to start the rice cooking work. Next, the rice discharging valve 20 is closed and the weighing and washing operations are performed in the same manner as described above. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the pot is right below, but it is determined to be "NO" because "no lid" which is a condition of the pot set is not provided.
Next, it is determined whether or not the other pot (in the embodiment, the rice cooker 5 side) is set OK. However, since rice is being cooked in the other pot, it is determined to be "NO" and the process waits on the spot.

If the rice storage 3 and the rice washing device 4 do not reach the predetermined positions within a predetermined time after the lateral movement is started, that is, if the monitoring timer is up, the output of the drive command signal to the motor 55 is stopped. The alarm is issued by the alarm buzzer, which is regarded as abnormal. If it is determined that the rice has been washed, the number of kettles displayed on the reserved kettle number display device 102 is reduced by one and displayed. In the middle of the work, the reserved hook increase button 99
Alternatively, when the reserved hook reduction button 100 is operated, the number is incremented or decremented by 1 each time. And
The cumulative number-of-pots display device 103 displays a number that is incremented by one when washing rice. Therefore, since the worker can grasp the remaining pots and the cumulative number of pots from these numbers, it is possible to predict, for example, whether or not rice preparation is required and the work end time.
