Rice flows into the box chamber from below, and the rice in the box chamber flows out when the opening faces downward.Therefore, every time the cylindrical rotary weighing box rotates and the opening moves from upward to downward, A volume of rice is removed from the rice storage.

Therefore, as the cylindrical rotary weighing box is rotated, the rice corresponding to the volume of the box chamber is successively weighed. Therefore, by setting the rotation degree of the tubular rotary weighing box, the operation can be performed by one operation. The desired amount of rice can be weighed out. Moreover, since the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical rotary weighing box is set forward and backward, and the rice storage and the rice removing section are also installed in a long state in the front-back direction along the shape of the tubular rotary weighing box.

Water is poured into the rice-washing tank by pouring water, and it is polished and washed.

The rice which has been subjected to polishing and washing is automatically transferred to the storage container by inclining the rice washing tank, and the rice in the storage container is washed by pouring water from the washing pouring section. Therefore, the rice washing and the take-out work after the washing can be performed mechanically by operating the operation unit without manual work. In addition, since the rice washing tank is installed in a long state in the front and rear, the width of the rice washing device can be narrowed, which facilitates the incorporation into the system kitchen.

Further, in the weighing type rice storing and washing machine according to claim 4 of the present invention, a desired amount from the rice storage is obtained by rotating the cylindrical rotary weighing box in the weighing type rice storing apparatus installed in the upper part. Weigh the rice in one operation and remove it from the rice outlet. Then, the extracted rice is sent to the rice inlet of the rice washing tank in the rice washing device installed in the lower part, and the rice in the rice washing tank sent is rotated by the jet flow from the fluid jet part together with the impeller and the washing mechanism. The rice, which has been washed and washed by pouring water from the washing water pouring unit, is moved to a container and washed by pouring water from the washing pouring unit.

Therefore, by operating the operation portion, a desired amount of rice is taken out from the rice storage tank, sent to the rice washing tank, washed and washed in the rice washing tank, and then the washed rice is taken out to the storage container. The work up to can be performed consistently by mechanical work instead of manual work. Moreover, in this metering type rice storage and washing machine, since each part is arranged in the longitudinal direction toward the front and back, the entire apparatus can be configured to have a narrow width, which facilitates incorporation into the system kitchen. .

In the weighing-type rice storage / washing device according to the fourth aspect, even when a plurality of tubular rotary weighing boxes are arranged in parallel, when each of the tubular rotary weighing boxes is rotated, it is accompanied by this rotation. Rice equivalent to the volume of the chamber is successively weighed (Claim 5).

First, the weighing type rice storage device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to 11 will be described. In Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a box-shaped rice storage that is installed in the upper part of the weighing type rice storage device and has a rectangular cross section that is long in the depth direction and short in the width direction. The inclined portion 2 is formed so as to be easy, and a slender rice outlet 3 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) is formed on the lower surface of the inclined portion 2 in the front-rear direction.

That is, the inclined portion 2 has inclined surfaces 2a, 2 whose both long sides in the depth direction are narrowed toward the center.
a and a drooping bottom surface 2 on which both short side surfaces in the width direction hang as they are
b, 2b, so that the rice outlet 3 on the lower surface is elongated in the front and rear direction. Further, the edge of the rice outlet 3 is extended downward to form supporting portions 4 and 4 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) for enclosing both side surfaces of a cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 described later, Further, at the bottoms of the supporting portions 4 and 4, the supporting portion lower opening 4a having substantially the same shape as the rice outlet 3 (see FIG.
7) is formed, and the lower opening 4a of the support portion is connected to the rice removing portion 10.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the cylindrical rotary measuring box 5 has a circular or polygonal cylindrical shape which is supported and rotated by a support shaft 6 and has a plurality of chambers 7 in which the inside is divided at equal intervals. Is formed, and each of the chambers 7 is provided with an opening 8 which is sequentially displaced in the circumferential direction of the cylinder so as to obliquely make a round around the outer circumference of the cylinder. That is, for example, in the case of a cylindrical rotary measuring box 5 having four chambers 7, as shown in FIG. 4, the same shape is formed along the diagonal line of the expanded rectangular metal plate 5a forming the peripheral surface of the tube. By opening four square holes 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d and winding them in a tubular shape, four openings 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d that are sequentially displaced by 90 degrees are formed, and the boundaries of each opening are formed. By providing the partition wall 9 in the portion, four chambers 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d that are sequentially opened in different directions are formed.

Then, if the volume of each of the chambers 7a to 7d is designed to be a volume of one rice, a cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 capable of weighing rice in a unit is obtained. Further, an inverted triangular rice removing portion 10 is formed which is connected to the lower edge of the supporting portion 4 and inclines from the front to the rear along the tubular rotary weighing box 5 toward the center, and the rice is provided near the lower tip of the inverted rice. An outlet 11 is formed.

Further, in order to make the rotation of the cylindrical rotary measuring box 5 electrically driven, as shown in FIG. 2, the motor 12 connected to the support shaft 6 is provided outside the rear side of the cylindrical rotary measuring box 5. It is provided. In this case, in the case shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the motor 12 projects outward from the rear surface of the rice storage 1. However, in order not to project this, as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. Since the lower surface of the back face portion 2b of the rice storage 1 is formed as the inclined surface 1b that projects outward, the motor 12 can be prevented from protruding.

Reference numeral 13 in FIG. 1 is a rice inlet lid provided on the upper surface of the rice storage 1 and sliding in the front-rear direction;
4 is a receiving container for receiving the weighed rice. Here, referring to FIG. 6, the four chambers 7 of the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 are
To explain the movement of rice into or out of one of a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, for example, the chamber 7a, every time the chamber 7a rotates clockwise by 90 degrees and moves 90 degrees, the opening 8a is directed upward. From the state [see FIG. 6 (a)] to the rightward state [see FIG. 6 (b)], the downward state [see FIG. 6 (c)], and the leftward state [see FIG. 6 (d)].

That is, the rice is placed in the chamber 7 in the state shown in FIG. 6 (a).
Rice enters the chamber a and is rotated 90 degrees in the state shown in FIG. 6 (b), and the rice is held in the chamber 7a. Rotated 180 degrees, the rice is discharged from the chamber 7a in the state shown in FIG. 6 (c). In the state of FIG. 6 (d) rotated once, the chamber 7a becomes empty without rice. Therefore, the four chambers 7a, 7b, 7c and 7d shown in FIG.
In the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 having the
Is in a state in which the rice 8 enters with the opening 8a facing upward, and the second chamber 7b holds the rice with the opening 8b facing sideways and the entrance is blocked, and the third chamber 7c. The opening 8c faces downward to discharge the rice 15 and becomes empty, and the fourth chamber 7d remains empty with no rice in it because the opening 8d faces sideways.

From the above movement state, if the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 is rotated 90 degrees in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 5, rice is held in the first box 7a and the second box 7a is held. Rice is discharged in the third chamber 7b, the third chamber 7c becomes empty, and the rice enters the fourth chamber 7d. In this way, rice is weighed one by one every time the rotation of the tubular rotary weighing box 5 advances by 90 degrees, and the desired amount of rice can be weighed by setting the degree of rotation of the tubular rotary weighing box 5. You can

FIG. 5 shows a structure in which the rice outlet 11 of the rice extracting section 10 is offset to one side to provide a cylinder opening as an embodiment different from the case of FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the weighing type rice-storing device configured as described above is housed in one outer box 16 with the longitudinal direction in the front-rear direction. An upper pull-out portion 17 capable of pulling out the take-out portion 10 integrally and a lower pull-out portion 18 capable of pulling out the rice receiving container 14 are formed, and a power switch, a pilot lamp, and a weighing device are provided on the front surface of the upper pull-out portion 17. By providing a weighing type rice storage device A provided with an operation section 19 in which buttons for selecting the number are arranged, this device is incorporated in a system kitchen C as shown in FIG. It can be used.

In addition, the upper handle 20 is used to open the upper drawer 17 and open the lid 13 to supply rice to the rice storage 1.

Furthermore, as a means for implementing the present apparatus,
The portion 2c in FIG. 6 (a), that is, the inclined surface 2a on the side that receives the transition of the peripheral surface due to the rotation of the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5.
At the lower end of the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5, the rice in the standing state bites between the lower end of the inclined surface 2a and the peripheral surface of the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 as the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 rotates. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the lower end of the inclined surface 2a is made of a synthetic fiber or the like having a strength to withstand the weight of a rice pile and elasticity as shown in FIG. 6 (a). It is conceivable to attach a curved edge 20 or a brush (spring brush) (not shown) having elasticity to prevent the rice from biting.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the lower end of the inclined surface 2a on the side that receives the rotational transition of the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 is located slightly above, and the lower end edge of the inclined surface 2a is the curved edge 21. This achieves the same purpose of preventing the rice from biting as described above. 8 and 9 show another embodiment of the tubular rotary weighing box 5, and FIG. 8 shows four tubes having a plurality of box chambers 7 (this box chamber 7 corresponds to, for example, one box). Rotation meter box 5a

With the above-described configuration, in the main rice washing apparatus B, when the weighed unwashed rice is put in the rice washing tank 3 and the valve 52 for water supply is opened, the rice can be polished and washed automatically, and the washed rice can be removed. Since it can be taken out in a drained state, there is an advantage that the rice washing work can be performed very easily and easily as compared with the rice washing work by hand.

In addition, this device is a cylindrical long rice washing tank 31.
Since it can be placed in the front-rear direction to make it a product that does not take up a width, it can be incorporated in the system kitchen, which can contribute to beautifying and maintaining the kitchen and is very convenient. There is an advantage. Next, the weighing type rice storage / washing device shown in FIGS. 1 and 22 to 30 will be described.

In FIGS. 1 and 22 and 23, the portion A is a metering type rice storing device having a rice storing box 1 having the same construction as described above, a tubular rotary weighing box 5, and a rice removing section 10. Is. That is, 1 is a box-shaped rice storage that is installed in the upper part of the weighing type rice storage device and is long in the depth direction and short in the width direction and has a rectangular cross section. The portion 2 is formed, and a slender rice outlet 3 (see FIGS. 6, 7, and 25) is formed in the front and rear of the lower surface of the inclined portion 2.

The inclined portion 2 has inclined surfaces 2a, 2a, 1b, whose side surfaces are narrowed from the middle toward the center.
1b, whereby the rice outlet 3 on the lower surface is elongated in the front-rear direction. The edges of the rice outflow port 3 extend downward to form support portions 4 and 4 for enclosing both side surfaces of a cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 which will be described later. Further, the support portions 4 and 4 are provided. A lower portion of the support portion 4a having substantially the same shape as that of the rice outlet 3 is formed in the lower part of the lower portion of the rice outlet 3, and the lower portion of the support portion 4a is connected to the rice removing portion 10.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the cylindrical rotary measuring box 5 has a circular or polygonal cylindrical shape which is supported by a support shaft 6 and rotates, and a plurality of boxes whose insides are divided at equal intervals. Room 7
Is formed, and each of the chambers 7 is provided with an opening that is sequentially displaced in the circumferential direction of the cylinder so as to obliquely make one turn around the outer circumference of the cylinder. That is, for example, in the case of the cylindrical rotary measuring box 5 having four chambers 7, as shown in FIG. 4, the same shape is formed along the diagonal line of the expanded rectangular metal plate 5a forming the peripheral surface of the tube. By opening four square holes 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d and winding them in a tubular shape, four openings 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d that are sequentially displaced by 90 degrees are formed,
By providing the partition wall 9 at the boundary between the openings 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, the four chambers 7 are sequentially opened in different directions.
a, 7b, 7c, 7d are formed.

If the volume of each of the chambers 7a to 7d is designed to be a capacity of one rice, a cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 capable of measuring rice in units of one rice can be obtained. Further, an inverted triangular rice removing portion 10 is formed which is connected to the lower edge of the supporting portion 4 and inclines from the front to the rear along the tubular rotary weighing box 5 toward the center, and the rice is provided near the lower tip of the inverted rice. An outlet 11 is formed.

Further, a motor 12 connected to a support shaft 6 of the tubular rotary weighing box 5 is provided outside the rear side of the tubular rotary weighing box 5.
Is provided to electrically rotate the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5, and the motor 12 is operated by an operation unit 62 described later. In addition, 13 in FIG. 22 is a lid of the rice carrying-in port provided on the upper surface of the rice storage 1 and sliding in the front-back direction.

Here, with reference to FIG. 6 described above, when one of the four chambers 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d of the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5, for example, the rice in and out, is described, the chamber will be described. 7a
Is rotated to the right by 90 degrees as indicated by the arrow b, the opening 8a changes from the upward state (see FIG. 6A) to the right state (see FIG. 6B) and the downward state (FIG. 6). (See (c)) and the leftward state (see FIG. 6D).

That is, the rice is placed in the chamber 7 in the state of FIG. 6 (a).
6a that has entered into a and is held in the chamber 7a in the state of FIG. 6 (b) rotated by 90 degrees, discharged from the chamber 7a in the state of FIG. 6 (c) rotated by 180 degrees, and rotated by 270 degrees. 6 (d)
In this state, the chamber 7a becomes empty. Therefore, in the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 having the four boxes 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d shown in FIG. 5, the opening 8a of the first box 7a is in a state where the rice 15 enters. Yes, the second chamber 7b has the opening 8b facing sideways and the entrance is closed to hold rice, and the third chamber 7c has the opening 8c facing downward to discharge the rice 15 and empty. Then, the fourth chamber 7d is in an empty state with no rice in it, with the opening 8d facing sideways.

From the above moving state, if the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5 is rotated 90 degrees in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 5, rice is held in the first box 7a and the second box 7a is held. Rice is discharged in the third chamber 7b, the third chamber 7c becomes empty, and the rice enters the fourth chamber 7d. In this way, rice is weighed one by one every time the rotation of the tubular rotary weighing box 5 advances by 90 degrees, and the desired amount of rice can be weighed by setting the degree of rotation of the tubular rotary weighing box 5. You can do it.

As a means for implementing the present device, at a portion 2c in FIG. 6 (a), that is, at the lower end of the inclined surface 2a on the side that receives the transition of the peripheral surface due to the rotation of the cylindrical rotary weighing box 5.

That is, in the one shown in FIG. 8, four cylindrical rotary measuring boxes 5a having a plurality of box chambers 7 (this box chamber 7 is equivalent to, for example, one box) are arranged in parallel, and for example, each cylindrical rotary measuring box is provided. 5a is rotated by a motor, and the openings 8 of the respective chambers 7 in each of the tubular rotary weighing boxes 5a are arranged to be sequentially displaced by 90 degrees.

Therefore, for example, in order to take out four pairs of rice, four cylindrical rotary weighing boxes 5a may be simultaneously rotated by 90 degrees. Further, in order to take out the rice one by one, first, one of the four cylindrical rotary weighing boxes 5a is rotated by 90 degrees, and after rotating this by 360 degrees, the adjacent tubular rotary weighing box 5a is rotated. Is similarly rotated by 90 degrees for 360 degrees, and similarly in the same manner, the final cylindrical rotary weighing unit 5a is rotated by 90 degrees for 360 degrees. In addition, in order to take out two sets or three sets of rice, two or three of the four cylindrical rotary weighing boxes 5a are simultaneously rotated by 90 degrees at a time. The cylindrical rotary weighing box 5a is set so as to operate evenly. As a result, the degree of freedom of weighing is increased, and no matter how much weighing is performed, quick weighing can be realized.

Further, the one shown in FIG. 9 is provided with a thick cylindrical rotary measuring box 5b and a thin cylindrical rotary measuring box 5c, each of which has a plurality of boxes.
