Next, the operation of each chart will be explained together. First, to explain the normal rice cooking work, put the inner pot 89 into the outer pot 88 of each rice cooker 5, 6,
After the lid 90 is positioned on the front side of the outer pot 88 (in a state where the inner pot 89 is not covered with the lid 90), the rice cooker is moved to the rear side through the slide bearing 85 and set at 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. At this time, the display lamps 124, 12
6, 127 and 128 are lit.

Subsequently, each rotary switch 134, 1
35, 136, 137, 138, 139 are operated to select the degree of rice washing, the amount of water added, the amount of cooked rice, the time for soaking, the time for soaking, and the mode for cooking rice. In addition, when you reserve rice cooking time,
The set button 109 may be pressed, the cooking time may be set in hours and minutes, and the reservation button 111 may be pressed. In this case, the display lamp 129 lights up to display the reservation, and the reserved time is displayed in 130.

Subsequently, the lid 73 is opened and the rice is lifted up and supplied to the funnel 63 of the rice storage 3. At this time, when the sensor 99 detects that the amount of rice is less than or equal to a predetermined amount (insufficient), the display 127 is activated to display the addition of the buzzer 140. It is possible to easily determine the state and respond. When the amount of rice that exceeds a certain amount is reached, the buzzer-139 stops the notification and the display tool 127
Turns off.

In the case of automatic operation, the operator turns on the button 113, presses the reserved cooker increase button 114 or the reserved cooker decrease button 115 to input the desired number of rice cookers, and the cumulative cook number clear button 116. push. Then, the reserved kettle display tool 131 displays, for example, "05" for 5 kettles, and the accumulated hook number display tool 132 displays "00". Then, the start button 112 is turned on.

Next, the metering roll 64 discharges the rice into the guide tube 72 while rotating, and stops rotating when reaching a predetermined number of rotations. In this case, when the monitoring pulse is up even though the counting pulse count is not up,
And the buzzer 140 gives an alarm. During this time, the rice sent to the guide tube 72 is supplied to the top port 44 through the opening 7
Pass through 1 and enter the washing rice 99 tank 15.

Further, the indicator lamp 120 during the washing of the rice, which has received a control signal from the control section of the operation panel 97, lights up and the solenoid valve 8 is turned on.
2 opens, so that the water with high water pressure sent from the water source (for example, water supply) through the water supply pipe 76 and the base water supply pipe 77 is diverted, and the water is supplied from the nozzle 80 through the water supply pipes 78 to the washing tank 15
Is ejected toward the central part and the inner wall of the upper part. 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 not connected to the spring 42.
It moves to the rear side by 43, and the drain 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 each mouth 2
It is discharged from the drainage box 27 through 3, 26 to a predetermined place via the drainage pipe 48. Then, the transmission of the control signal to the solenoid valve 82 is stopped after a predetermined time, so the solenoid valve 82 is closed and the water supply is stopped in connection with this, but the polishing work is predetermined by the rice-washing blade 14 which is still rotating. Do the time (tens of seconds). This rice polishing operation is performed multiple times during the rice washing operation.

After that, when the solenoids 36 and 37 are energized by being energized, the valve shafts 30 and 31 become 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 side water supply, the drainage port 23 and the water control port 26 are opened by stopping the energization of both solenoids 36 and 37, the rotation of the rice washing blade 14 is stopped, and the solenoid valve 82. Are closed and the upper 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, since the water is discharged from both the drain port 23 and the water control port 26, the drainage 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 amount of residual water 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 pressure check timer is activated, and it is judged whether or not the overflow detection sensor 84 is turned "ON" within a predetermined time. If it is judged that it has not reached, the solenoid valve 83 is closed and the solenoid is closed. The power supply to 36 and 37 is stopped and an abnormal process is performed, that is, an alarm is issued by the buzzer-139.

On the other hand, when the overflow detection sensor 84 senses it, the solenoid valve 83 is closed after waiting for some time, and after a while, the energization of both solenoids 37 is stopped and the solenoid 37 is de-energized. 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, it is possible to improve the accuracy of water addition / reduction with a smaller amount than the drainage amount from the drainage port 23 when compared per unit time. 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" during this water addition / removal work,
If the water addition / decrease time is reached even though it is not "OFF", it is judged to be abnormal, and the alarm buzzer-139 issues an alarm.
Next, the rice washing motor that rotates the rice washing blades is driven to rotate the rice washing blades 14 and then the rice discharging motor M is driven. Then, in connection with this, the cam rotates to move the vertical shaft 19 downward, so that the rice washing valve 20 also moves in the same direction to open the rice passage 17 and set the rice discharge upper limit switch 97 to "ON". To Further, the lower limit switch 98 is turned “ON” when the vertical movement shaft 19 moves down to a predetermined position. Therefore, the rice and water in the rice washing tank fall through the rice passage 17 to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 5, but at this time the rice washing blade 14 is also rotating, so that the rice can be discharged smoothly, Can prevent rice.

When the rice discharging operation is completed, the rice discharging motor M rotates to rotate the cam.
Moves upward (at this time, the lower limit switch 98 is set to "OF
(It becomes "F") and returns to the original position (at this time, the upper limit switch 97 becomes "OFF"), and at the same time, the driving of the rice washing motor for rotating the rice washing blade and the motor for discharging rice are stopped, The energization of the solenoids 36 and 37 is stopped to open the drainage port 23 and the water control port 26, respectively. 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. In this case, the indicator lamp 120 during washing the rice is turned off. At the time of rice discharging, although the rice discharging upper limit switch 97 is not "OFF", but when the monitoring time is reached, the driving of the rice discharging motor M is stopped and an alarm is issued by the buzzer-139. Go to processing step.

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 133 (the display lamp 124 is turned off at this time) after the completion of the predetermined immersion time (the display lamp 123 during the immersion is turned off from the lighting) and starts the rice cooking work ( The display lamp 122 lights up). This dipping operation is carried out in the pot when the dipping is finished in the rice washing tank and when the dipping is not finished in the rice washing tank. When the rice discharging / draining work is completed, the rice discharging motor M is driven to move the vertical moving shaft 1
9 to the predetermined position on the upper side, and the rice passage valve 20 is used to
And then drive the rice weighing motor to drive the weighing roll 6
4 is rotated and the same operation as described above is performed to supply a predetermined amount of rice into the rice washing tank. Hereinafter, 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 (in this embodiment, the rice cooker 6 side) is set, but since the lid 90 is not covered by the inner pot 89, the switch 93 is "OFF" and the inner pot is closed. Since 89 and the inner pot sensing actuator 96 are in contact with each other, the switch 95 is "ON" and the rice cooking ignition switch 133 is "OFF", so that the pot set OK signal 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 through 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”.
Then, 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. Subsequently, the rice discharging motor M is driven to move the vertical movement shaft 19 downward, so that the rice discharging 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 drop through the rice passage 17 into the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 6 while being stirred by the rotating rice washing blade 14. When the rice washing operation is completed, the drive of the rice washing blade rotation motor and the rice discharging motor M 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. To do. 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 operator puts the lid 90 on the pot and soaks it for a predetermined time, and then turns on the ignition switch 133 (the display lamp 118 during cooking lights up) to start the rice cooking operation. This dipping operation is carried out in the pot when the dipping is finished in the rice washing tank and when the dipping is not finished in the rice washing tank. 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 predetermined positions are not reached within a predetermined time after the lateral movement of the rice storage 3 and the rice washing device 4, that is, if the monitoring timer is up, the output of the drive command signal to the motor 55 is stopped. If it is abnormal, buzzer-139 gives an alarm. On the other hand, when 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 addition, the reserved hook increase button 9
Whenever the 9 or reserved shuttle button 100 is operated, the number is incremented or decremented by 1 each time. Then, the accumulated pot number display tool 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. In the rice cooker 5 or 6, the ignition switch 133 is set to “O”.
When it is set to "N" but the shuttle is not set, the indicator lamp 126 without the shuttle is turned on and the buzzer 140 gives an alarm. Further, when the monitoring timer for cooking rice has timed up even though the ignition switch 133 has not been turned off, it is determined that there is an abnormality and the buzzer-139 issues an alarm to proceed to an abnormality processing step. Then, when the rice cooking is completed, the muddling step is started, and when the murine cooking is completed, the indicator lamp 122 during cooking is turned off and the indicator lamp 121 after cooking is turned on. Then, the buzzer 140 notifies the end of cooking rice.

When the start button 112 is turned on, the rotary switches 134 and 135 are checked for abnormalities, sensors such as overflow detection switches are checked for abnormalities, and weighing motors are checked for abnormalities. , Function check such as abnormality check of water addition / drainage during rice washing work, abnormality check of rice discharge motor during rice discharge work, abnormality check of moving motor, abnormality check during rice cooking work etc. are automatically performed (FIG. 17).

Etc. are checked to be turned "ON", and if they do not have a predetermined function, buzzer-139 notifies. To end the test, the test button 107 may be pressed again. Therefore, it is possible to check whether each device functions normally before, during, or after the work.

Next, the weighing button 101 is turned "ON".
11, the weighing flow operation shown in FIG. 11 is performed, the rice washing button 102 is turned "ON", and the rice washing flow operation shown in FIG. 12 is performed, and the dropping button 106 is turned "ON". Perform the flow work. In this way, since the work can be independently operated, even when an abnormality occurs, it is easy to find the location where the abnormality occurs. Further, for example, since the washing operation can be performed, the washing tank 15 can be easily washed.

Next, the time chart of the rice cooking work shown in FIG. 24 will be described. First, a predetermined amount of rice weighed is washed and then discharged to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 5 together with a predetermined amount of water set by adjusting the amount of water. Then, the lid 90 is dipped in the inner pot 89 and dipped, and 34 minutes after the dipping is started, the ignition switch 133 is turned on to start cooking rice. Here, the rice is cooked for 20 minutes and then steamed for 15 minutes to finish the rice cooking operation. Next, the lid 90 is removed, the inner pot 89 containing rice is taken out, a new empty inner pot is set, and the process waits until the next rice cooking operation (5-1).

When the rice discharging operation is completed, the rice washing device 4 is moved laterally and the rice is weighed, and the rice washing device 4 almost reaches a predetermined position above the other rice cooking devices 6. At the same time, the weighing work has been completed. Therefore, the rice is discharged to the inner pot 89 after being washed and adjusted with water in the same manner as described above. Then, when this rice discharging work is completed, the rice washing device 4 moves upward of the original rice cooking device 5. On the other hand, the lid 90 is placed in the inner pot 89 and dipped, and 34 minutes after the dipping is started, the ignition switch 133 is turned "ON" to start cooking rice.
Here, the rice is cooked for 20 minutes and then steamed for 15 minutes to finish the rice cooking work. Therefore, remove the lid 90, take out the inner pot 89 containing the rice, set another empty inner pot, and wait until the next rice cooking work. Yes (6-1). The rice cooker 6 finishes the work 8 minutes (weighing time 1 minute + rice washing time 5 minutes + water addition / reduction time 1 minute + rice removal time 1 minute = 8 minutes) after finishing the operation by the rice cooker 5.

The case of performing the second rice cooking operation will be described. Since the rice cooking device 5 stands by in a state where rice can be cooked 79 minutes after the start of weighing, it returns to a predetermined position above the rice washing device 5 21 After a minute, the weighing work is started, and then each work is carried out in the order of washing rice, immersing in the rice washing apparatus (immersing in the rice washing part), adding and removing water, and discharging rice. Then, since the rice that has already been soaked is stored in the inner pot 89 together with the water for cooking rice,
The lid 90 is closed, and the ignition switch 133 is turned "ON" to start cooking rice. Then, after cooking rice for 20 minutes, steaming is continued for 15 minutes to complete the cooking operation. Next, the lid 90 is removed, the inner pot 89 containing the rice is taken out, and then another empty inner pot is set to stand by until the next rice cooking operation (5
-2). It should be noted that the rice cooker 5 starts its work 29 minutes (cooking time 20 minutes + steaming 15 minutes + inner pot replacement 1 minute + rice discharging time 1 minute -8 minutes = 29 minutes) after finishing the operation of the rice cooking apparatus 6. Finish. Further, when the rice discharging is finished here, the rice washing device 4 moves to the upper side of the rice cooking device 6 and the weighing work is started.
Then, the weighing operation is finished almost at the same time when the rice washing device 4 is stopped at the predetermined position.

Subsequently, the rice is discharged to the inner pot 89 together with the water for cooking rice through the steps of washing rice and adjusting the water content. When the rice discharging operation is completed, the rice washing device 4 is directed above the rice cooking device 5. Move while performing weighing work. Then, when the rice washing device 4 reaches a predetermined position and stops, the weighing is finished almost at the same time.

Then, the cooked rice is finished in 20 minutes, and then steamed for 15 minutes to finish the cooked rice. Then, after removing the lid 90 and taking out the inner pot 89 containing rice, another empty inner pot is set to wait until the next rice cooking operation (6-2). It should be noted that the rice cooker 6 is 42 minutes after finishing the work of the rice cooker 5 (rice removal time 1 minute + pot soaking time 34 minutes + rice 20 minutes + steaming 1
5 minutes + 1 minute in the inner kettle-29 minutes = 42 minutes), and then the work is completed.

On the other hand, the rice that has already been weighed (when the third rice cooking operation is to be carried out) is successively washed with rice, soaked in the rice washing device 4, and adjusted in water in that order, and then the rice cooker 5 Although the rice is discharged to the inner pot 89, when the rice discharging operation is completed, the rice washing device 4 moves toward above the rice cooking device 6 while weighing. Then, when the rice washing device 4 reaches a predetermined position and stops, the weighing is finished almost at the same time.

Next, the lid 90 is placed on the inner pot 89 and the ignition switch 133 is turned "ON" to start cooking rice. When the rice cooking and steaming are completed, the lid 90 is removed from the inner pot 89, the inner pot 89 containing the rice is taken out, and an empty inner pot prepared separately is set to stand by until the next rice cooking operation (5-3 ). It should be noted that the rice cooker 5 is 8 minutes after finishing the work of the rice cooker 6 (rice removal time 1 minute + weighing time 1 minute + rice washing time 5 minutes + soaking time 34 minutes + water addition time 1 minute + rice removal time 1 Minutes + cooking time 2
0 minutes + steaming 15 minutes + inner pot change 1 minute -29 minutes -42 minutes =
After 8 minutes, finish the work.

The above-mentioned weighed rice is discharged to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 6 through the operations of washing rice, dipping in the rice washing device 4, and adjusting the amount of water in that order. In this case as well, when the rice discharging operation is completed, the rice washing device 4 moves upward above the rice cooking device 5 while weighing, and when the rice washing device 4 reaches a predetermined position and then stops, the weighing ends almost at the same time. There is. Next, the lid 90 is placed on the inner pot 89 of the rice cooking device 6, the ignition switch 133 is turned on, and rice cooking is started. And cooked rice,
When steaming is completed, the lid 90 is removed from the inner pot 89, the inner pot 89 containing rice is taken out, another empty inner pot is set, and the process waits until the next rice cooking operation (6-3). Note that the rice cooker 6 is 42 minutes after finishing the work of the rice cooker 5 (rice removal time 1 minute + weighing time 1 minute + rice washing time 5 minutes + soaking time 34 minutes +
After 1 minute of water addition / removal time of rice + 1 minute of rice removal + 79 minutes of total process time-movement 1 minute-29 minutes-42 minutes-8 minutes = 42 minutes).

Next, the case of performing the fourth rice cooking operation will be described. Since the weighing has been completed as described above, this rice is continuously washed, soaked in the rice washing apparatus 4 and adjusted with water. After that order, the rice is discharged to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 5. In this case as well, when the rice discharging operation is completed, the rice washing device 4 moves toward the upper side of the rice cooking devices 6 arranged in parallel while weighing, and then stops when the rice washing device 4 reaches a predetermined position. We have also finished measuring rice for cooking rice.

Then, the lid 90 is placed on the inner pot 89 of the rice cooking device 5, the ignition switch 133 is turned on, and rice cooking is started. Then, when this rice cooking and then steaming are finished, the lid 90 is taken out from the inner pot 89, the inner pot 89 containing rice is taken out, an empty inner pot prepared in advance is set, and the next rice cooking operation is waited ( Although not shown, it becomes 5-4). Hereinafter, the same work as the above-mentioned work is continued until the amount of rice cooked (the number of kettles) set in advance is reached. in this way,
In the form of rice cooking work shown in Fig. 24, one rice cooking work from "weighing" to "replacement of inner pot" is completed "42 minutes later", "8 minutes later", and "42 minutes later" from the middle. This work cycle is repeated. Therefore, the work management is easy because the completion interval of one rice cooking operation is short. Further, comparing the average working time per pot, 42 minutes (84 minutes / 2 = 42 minutes) when immersed only in the rice washing section as shown in FIG. 29,
When immersing only in the rice cooker like 0, 35.5 minutes (7
1 min ÷ 2 = 35.5 min), but in this cooked rice form 3
Since it is 0.7 minutes (92 minutes / 3 = 30.7 minutes), the work efficiency can be improved.

Next, the time chart of the rice cooking work shown in FIG.
In this work mode, one dipping work is performed using the rice washing device 4 and the pot.

Then, 26.3 minutes after the start of the measurement,
That is, when the discharge of rice to the rice cooker 5 is completed, the weighing starts and a predetermined amount of rice is supplied to the rice washing device 4, where it is soaked for a predetermined time (18.3 minutes). During this dipping, the rice washing device 4 starts moving upward of the rice cooking device 6 as described above, and then stops when reaching a predetermined position. When the immersion is finished, rice is discharged from the rice washing device 4 to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 6 together with the water for cooking rice, so the lid 90 is placed on the inner pot 89 and the remaining time ( Continue soaking for 15.7 minutes. After that, when the immersion is finished, the ignition switch 133 is turned "ON" to start cooking rice, and after 20 minutes, the cooking is finished and then steamed for 15 minutes. Next, the lid 90 is removed, the inner pot 89 containing rice is taken out, another empty inner pot is set, and the process waits until the next rice cooking operation (6-2). It should be noted that the rice cooker 6 is 26.3 minutes after finishing the work of the rice cooker 5 (rice discharge time 1 minute + pot soaking time 15.7 minutes + rice cook time 20 minutes + steaming time 15 minutes + inner pot exchange 1 minute). -26.4 minutes = 26.3 minutes) to finish the work.

Hereinafter, the same work as described above is continued until the number of shuttles set in advance is reached. As described above, in the work form shown in FIG. 26, the work is completed almost every 26.3 minutes after the second work, so that the work efficiency can be improved and the work can be easily managed. In this case, in the rice cooking work cycle, the rice removal time is added to the time obtained by subtracting the moving time from the total process time from weighing to changing the inner pot, and the time obtained by this is divided by (the number of pots + 1). Will be repeated almost. Here, “the number of shuttles + 1” is “3” for the two shuttle type, “4” for the three shuttle type, and “5” for the four shuttle type.

The time chart of the work shown in FIG. 27 is 1
In the rice cooking work, both the rice washing device 4 and the pot 89 are soaked, and the rice washing device 4 is moved in another step (for example, during dipping).
This is not the case. First, when the first rice cooking operation is performed, a predetermined amount of rice that has been weighed is soaked in the rice washing device 4 for a predetermined time (18 minutes) after being washed, and then a predetermined amount of water for cooking rice is added by adjusting the water content. Water is supplied. Next, the rice washing device 4 moves to a predetermined position above the rice cooking device 5 and stops, and the rice is discharged to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooking device 5. Subsequently, the lid 90 is placed on the inner pot 89, and the remaining time is 16 minutes (34 minutes-18 minutes = 16 minutes). When this immersion is completed, the ignition switch 133 is turned "ON" to start cooking rice, and after 20 minutes, this cooking is completed and then steamed for 15 minutes. Next, the lid 90 is removed, the inner pot 89 is taken out, another empty inner pot is set, and it waits until the next rice cooking operation (5-
1). The working time required for all the steps from weighing the rice cooking work to replacing the inner pot is 79 minutes.

Upon completion of the rice discharging, weighing is started and a predetermined amount of rice is supplied to the rice washing device 4. After this rice is washed, it is immersed in the rice washing device 4 for a predetermined time (18 minutes), and then a predetermined amount of water for cooking rice is supplied by adjusting the water content. Hereinafter, the same work as the above 5-1 (the rice washing device 4 is the rice cooker 6
Move toward the upper part of the
After a few minutes, the inner pot is replaced and waits for the next rice cooking operation (6-
1). The measurement is 27 minutes from the start of measurement 5-1 (measurement time 1 minute + rice washing time 5 minutes + dipping time 1 in rice washing device 4
8 minutes + 1 minute water addition + 1 minute moving time + 1 minute rice removal =
27 minutes later), the work of the rice cooker 6 is finished 27 minutes after the work of the rice cooker 5 is finished.

Next, the case of performing the second rice cooking operation will be described. In this case, the inner pot 8 of the rice cooker 6
When the rice removal to 9 is completed (2
7 minutes later) Weighing is started, and subsequently each work from washing rice to replacing the inner pot is performed in that order, so that the rice cooker 5 finishes the work 27 minutes after the work of the rice cooker 6 is finished (5-2). The movement in the working process means that the rice washing device 4 moves from a position above the rice cooking device 6 toward above the rice cooking device 5,
After that, it stops when it reaches a predetermined position.

When the rice removal in the work step 5-2 is completed (27 minutes after the start of the work in 5-2), the measurement is started for the next rice cooking work, and then the rice is washed and soaked in the rice-washing device. (18 minutes) ・ Repeat each step of adding and removing water for cooking rice. Then, the rice washing device 4 moves upward of the rice cooking device 6 and stops when reaching a predetermined position. Then, rice is discharged from the rice washing device 4 to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooking device 6 together with the predetermined amount of water for rice cooking. After that, the lid 90 is placed on the inner pot 89 and the remaining time (18 minutes) is soaked here. After that, the ignition switch 133 is turned “ON” to start cooking rice.
After 20 minutes, the cooked rice is finished and then steamed for 15 minutes. Next, the lid 90 is removed, the inner pot is replaced, and the operation waits until the next rice cooking operation (6-2). The rice cooker 6
Ends the work 27 minutes after the work of the rice cooker 5 is finished.

Hereinafter, in this work mode, the second and subsequent ones are 2
The work is completed every 7 minutes, which improves work efficiency and facilitates work management. That is, work cycle = (total process time + movement time + rice removal time) / 3. The time chart of the work shown in FIG. 28 is the first rice cooking work, that is, the first rice cooking work, that is, dipping all in the kettle up to the second kettle, and the second rice cooking work, that is, 1 soaking work from the third kettle. This is a case where the rice washing device 4 and the pot share the work.

First, in the case of performing the first rice cooking operation, the weighed predetermined amount of rice is washed and then water is added to supply water for cooking rice.
Rice is discharged with this water. Then, the lid 9 is attached to the inner pot 89.
0 is set and immersion is performed here for a predetermined time (34 minutes). After that, when the immersion is finished, the ignition switch 133 is turned "ON" to start cooking rice, and after 20 minutes, the cooking is finished and then steamed for 15 minutes. Next, the lid 90 is removed, the inner pot 89 is taken out, the prepared inner pot is set, and the rice cooker stands by until the next rice cooking operation (5-1). The rice cooker 5
This work requires 78 minutes from the start of weighing to the change of the inner pot (total process time 79 minutes-moving time 1 minute = 78 minutes).

In the work (5-1), when the rice discharge is finished (26.3 minutes after the start of the measurement), the measurement is performed for the next work, and then the water supply for supplying water for washing rice and cooking rice is adjusted. The steps are performed in that order. In addition, when this water addition operation starts, the rice washing device 4 moves toward the upper side of the other rice cooking device 6 and stops when reaching a predetermined position. And
When the water adjustment is finished, the rice washing device 4 to the rice cooker 6 inner pot 8
Since rice is discharged together with the water for cooking rice to 9
The lid 9 is put on 9 and immersed here for a preset time (34 minutes). After that, when this immersion is completed, the ignition switch 13
Set 3 to "ON" to start cooking rice, and after 20 minutes, finish cooking rice and steam for 15 minutes. Next,
After removing the lid 90 and taking out the inner pot 89, set an empty inner pot prepared separately and wait until the next rice cooking operation (6-
1). Then, the work (6-1) is the work (5-
It ends 26.3 minutes after finishing 1).

The case of performing the second rice cooking operation will be described. 2 after the rice discharging in the operation (6-1) is finished.
After 6.3 minutes, the measurement is started again, and then the rice is washed for a predetermined time and then immersed in the rice washing device 4 for 18.3 minutes. Note that the rice washing device 4 moves to a predetermined position above the rice cooking device 5 during the immersion. After that, when the immersion is finished,
After the water is adjusted, the rice is discharged to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooking device 5 together with the water for cooking rice. Then, the inner pot 89 is covered with the lid 90, and the immersion is continued here for the remaining time (15.7 minutes). It should be noted that once the rice has been discharged, weighing is started in order to cook the next rice. Then, when the immersion in the pot is completed, the ignition switch 133 is turned “ON” to start cooking rice, and after 20 minutes, cooking rice is completed and the next steaming is performed for 15 minutes. When steaming is completed, the lid 90 is removed, the inner pot 89 containing rice is taken out, another empty inner pot is set, and the rice cooker stands by until the next rice cooking operation (5-2). The work (5-2) is 26.4 minutes (measurement time 1
(Min + dipping time in kettle 15.7 minutes + rice cooking time 20 minutes + steaming time 15 minutes + kettle change 1 minute-26.3 minutes = 26.4 minutes)
I will finish the work later.

Since the weighing is started after the rice discharging in the above-mentioned operation (5-2), the washing / rice washing device 4 follows this weighing.
After the immersion in (18.3 minutes), the process of water addition for supplying water for cooking rice is performed. When the rice washing is completed, the rice washing device 4 moves to a predetermined position above the rice cooking device 6 and stands by. Next, since the rice is discharged from the rice washing device 4 to the inner pot 89 of the rice cooker 6 together with the water for cooking rice, the lid 90 is placed on the inner pot 89 containing the rice and water and the remaining time (15.7 minutes). Further immersion is performed here. Also,
After rice removal, in order to handle the third rice cooking operation, weighing and washing operations are performed in that order. Then, when the immersion is finished, the ignition switch 133 is turned “ON” to start the rice cooking, and after 20 minutes, the rice cooking is finished and the next steaming step is started. Then, after steaming is finished after 15 minutes, the lid 90 is removed and the inner pot 89 containing rice is replaced with the separately prepared inner pot to wait until the next rice cooking operation (6-2). The work (6-2) is performed after the work (5-2) is completed.
3 minutes (measurement time 1 minute + pot soaking time 15.7 minutes + rice cooking time 20 minutes + steaming time 15 minutes + kettle exchange 1 minute-26.4
Minutes = 26.3 minutes).

Thereafter, the same work is repeated. That is,
In this work form, since the work is finished at substantially the same interval (26.3 minutes or 26.4 minutes) after the second work, the work can be easily managed and the work efficiency can be improved. In the example, the working time from the “weighing” to the “replacement of the inner pot” was 1 minute for weighing, 5 minutes for washing rice, 34 minutes for dipping,
About 1 minute of water addition, 1 minute of movement, 1 minute of discharged rice, 20 minutes of rice cooking, 15 minutes of steaming and 1 minute of changing the inner pot, this work time can be set arbitrarily and this implementation It is not limited to the example. The working process is not limited to this embodiment, and the process may be added or deleted. Further, if each process is fully automatic, the labor can be greatly saved, but some manual work may be included.
