Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grain processing apparatus for processing grains such as rice.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is common to discharge measured rice and water for cooking cooked rice from a tank at the same time.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned means, water may splash and go out of the container for recovery. Therefore, the periphery of the container becomes unsanitary, and when the container is a rice cooker, the amount of water for cooking rice is different and the quality of rice is not stable.

[0004]

The present invention provides a grain processing apparatus capable of preventing the water for cooking rice from being scattered, and has taken the following technical means. That is, a configuration of a grain processing device that includes at least a tank 1 that stores grains and a collection unit, and that has a configuration in which the grains stored in the tank 1 and water for cooking rice are discharged in this order and collected by the collection unit, To do.

[0005]

The weighed grain is stored in the tank 1 and then discharged from the tank 1 and collected by the collecting means. Next, the water for cooking rice is collected by the collecting means containing rice.

[0006]

[Effect] Since the grains and water for cooking rice are supplied separately, and the water for cooking rice is supplied after discharging the grains,
The splashing of water from the collecting means is prevented and the area around the collecting means is sanitary.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the structure thereof will be described. In the grain processing device 2, a storage unit 3 for storing grains (hereinafter referred to as rice) and a rice cooking unit 4 are arranged vertically. The storage portion 3 has a tapered lower portion and a hollow tank 1 having open upper and lower ends, and a fixed quantity supply roll 6 rotatably provided with a part of the outer peripheral portion opened in a space portion 5 of the tapered portion. And so on.

The case 7 has a lower wall opened to form a box shape, and is attached to and detached from an upper end of a main body frame 11 in which a vertical frame 8, a horizontal frame 9 and a leg frame 10 are framed. It is attached freely. A hole 12 is provided on the upper wall of the case 7, and an operation panel 13 having various switches and display tools is provided on the front wall. Reference numeral 14 denotes a lid for opening and closing the hole 12, which is provided on the upper surface of the case 7 so as to be openable and closable. Further, the tank 1 is detachably provided on the inner surface of the upper wall of the case 7, and the tank 5 and the hole 12 are communicated with each other.

The rice cooker 4 is provided with a rice cooker 15 provided so as to be movable in the front-back direction with respect to the leg frame 10 in a front view of the grain processing device 2, a rice cooker 16 including an outer cooker, an inner cooker, a lid, and the like. ing. Reference numeral 17 is a drawer arm provided at the front end of the rice cooker 15. The water supply device 18 is a water supply nozzle 20 that is detachably attached to the tip of a water supply pipe 19 that is provided so as to be able to communicate with a water supply source (for example, water supply), a manual valve 21 provided in the middle of the water supply pipe 19, a solenoid valve 22, A flow sensor 31 and the like are provided.

FIG. 4 relates to a flow dividing means for dividing the rice discharged by the fixed amount supply roll 6, 23 is a conical flow dividing fluid, and a plurality of stations 24 are integrally provided on the outer surface. . The upper end of the station 24 is the tank 1
It is removably attached to the lower end portion of and is located below the fixed amount supply roll 6 when attached. Explaining the block circuit of FIG. 4, reference numeral 25 denotes an arithmetic control unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) of a microcomputer having a memory having various data, control programs and the like built therein.
Performs operations such as arithmetic / logic and comparison. And the CP
The information input to the U25 via the input interface 26 includes information from various switches provided on the operation panel 13 (for example, rice amount information from the processing amount switch) and one rotation of the fixed amount supply roll 6. There is one rotation information from the rotation sensor 30 for detecting the flow rate, flow rate information from the flow rate sensor 31, and the like.
As the command signal output from the CPU 25 via the output interface 27, the drive / stop signal to the fixed quantity supply motor 28 for driving the fixed quantity supply roll 6 and the solenoid valve 2 are used.
There are two open / close signals, an open / close signal of the gas solenoid valve 29, a display / indication signal on the display of the operation panel 13, and the like.

Next, the operation will be described. First, the operator removes the lid 14, supplies rice to the tank 1 through the hole 12, and opens the manual valve 21. Next, the lid 14 is put in the original position, the main switch of the operation panel 13 is turned on, and the amount of rice is set by the throughput switch. Then, when the work switch is turned "ON", the CPU 25 which takes in this work signal through the input interface 26 outputs a drive command signal to the fixed quantity supply motor 28 through the output interface 27 to drive it. To do. In connection with this, the fixed amount supply roll 6 is rotated by the rotational power of the fixed amount supply motor 28 and the rice containing a predetermined amount is discharged toward the lower inner pot. The CPU 25 counts the number of rotations (the number of pulses) of the fixed quantity supply roll 6 from the rotation sensor 30, and when it judges that the number of pulses corresponding to the preset amount of rice has been reached, the fixed quantity supply mode is supplied via the output interface 27. -A stop signal is output to the switch 28 to stop it.

At the time of discharging the rice, in the case where the flow dividing means is provided (see FIG. 4), the rice dropped from the open portion of the fixed amount supply roll 6 is radially divided by the divided fluid 23. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rice collected in the inner pot of the rice cooker 16 from having a plurality of piles and a large pile at one place, and to eliminate the labor of the operator for leveling the rice.
Next, the CPU 25 outputs an open signal to the solenoid valve 22 via the output interface 27. Then, the water from the water supply source is supplied from the nozzle 20 to the inner pot containing the rice through the water supply pipe 19, the manual valve 21, the electromagnetic valve 22 and the like. In this way, after the rice is stored (collected) in the inner pot of the rice cooker 16, the water for cooking rice is supplied to the inner pot, so that the rice serves as a cushion to prevent water from scattering. Therefore, since water does not scatter around the rice cooker 16, it is sanitary and requires no labor for the operator.

Further, in the water supply work, the CPU 25 inputs the flow rate information from the flow rate sensor 31 into the interface 2.
Input through 6 and when it is judged that the amount of water corresponding to the set amount of rice has been reached, the output interface 27
A closing signal is output to the solenoid valve 22 via the to stop the water supply work. Next, pull the drawer arm 17 toward you, move the rice cooker 15 to the front side, cover the inner pot, and then push the drawer arm 17 again to bring the rice cooker 15 and the rice cooker 16 to predetermined positions. set. Then, turn on the ignition switch
Then, the gas is ignited to heat the inner pot to start the rice cooking work. After that, when the rice cooking work is finished, the gas supply is automatically stopped. The worker pulls out the rice cooker 15, takes out the inner pot, and carries it to a predetermined processing place.

In this embodiment, only the rice stored in the tank 1 is discharged, and the water for cooking rice is not supplied into the tank. Therefore, mold does not occur on the inner wall of the tank 1, and the cleaning means is not inside the tank. Therefore, the height of the grain processing device 2 can be reduced, and the operation of supplying rice to the tank 1 can be performed easily and easily.
