Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for accurately and quantitatively filling soaked grains and the like into a rice cooking container by removing water.

A conventional measuring device for measuring soaked grains, etc. is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 32-12687, and this measuring device has two cylindrical cases 11
. -FL7 was bored and removable shields 5 and 6 were provided, and these were respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of a lever piece 9 whose middle part was pivotally supported by a fixed piece. It was possible to fill the container with the weighed grains by removing the container 5, transferring a certain amount of the customer's grain to the measuring tank, inserting the upper shielding plate 5, and removing the lower shielding plate 6. Since water is drained using the J-TL 7 provided in the upper and lower shielding plates 5 and 6, the water once separated from the grain is discharged from the same pipe 4 as the grain, enters the grain container, and is mixed with the grain. For various reasons, this measuring device was not capable of dehydrating and quantitatively filling soaked grains, etc., by draining them and filling them in fixed amounts into containers.

However, rice, which is used as a raw material for cooked rice, is soaked to absorb water, drained, and then cooked by adding a specified amount of water or seasoning liquid.The amount of water added after draining changes the taste of the cooked rice. Since it is an important factor that affects the weight of the weighing room, it is an essential requirement that the water be drained from the grain at the same time as the quantitative filling.
To provide a device in which soaked grains, etc., are dehydrated and quantitatively filled by providing a small hole L and discharging soaking water to a water receiver outside a weighing chamber and sending only the grains to a container.

Next, one embodiment of the device according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figures 1 to 3 of the drawings, 1 is a rice soaking tank for grains, which is supported by a machine frame 2 and installed at a required height, and has a funnel-shaped discharge pipe equipped with an on-off valve 3 at the lower end of its bottom. 4 is connected.

5 is a weighing chamber provided at the lower part of the discharge pipe 4, and a d4L 6 is provided on its curved surface and funnel-shaped bottom to remove water, respectively.
The top plate 7 is attached to an adjustment tube 8 fitted into the discharge pipe 4 of the immersion tank 1 so as to be able to move up and down, so that the capacity can be adjusted by moving up and down.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a water receptacle provided outside the weighing chamber 5, which receives water discharged from the weighing chamber 5 and discharges it to a drainage gutter 9'.

10 is a discharge pipe connected to the lower part of the weighing chamber 5, and is provided with an on-off valve 11 having a spherical shape or the like.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a measuring chamber for water conditioning powder, etc., located adjacent to the measuring chamber 5, in which a capacity adjusting body 13 with a semicircular cross section is rotatably supported, and the amount of penetration of this adjusting body 13 into the weighing section 12' is controlled. In addition to making it possible to easily adjust the capacity by adding or subtracting the amount of
The valve 16 and the discharge pipe 15 are arranged vertically opposite each other, opening and closing valves 16 and 17 are provided correspondingly, and the operating shafts 18 of both the valves 16 and 17 are integrated, so that the valve 16 of the intake pipe 14 and , discharge pipe 1
The valves 17 and 5 are opened and closed alternately.

19 is a known automatic rice cooker, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-3542.
A rice cooking container such as No. 9 is sequentially transferred to the lower part of the weighing chamber 5 by the conveyor 20, filled with rice and water, and then transferred to the heating section to complete the continuous rice cooking.

Reference numerals 21, 22, and 23 indicate operation levers for the on-off valves 3, 11, 16, and 17, which are manually operated.

24.25 is a reducer motor for automatically opening and closing the on-off valves 11, 16, and 17, 24 is connected to the operating shaft 29 by a chain 27 and a coupling 28, and 25 is a chain 2
6, it is linked with the operating shaft 18.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a drain port attached to the side of the drain pipe 4 in the immersion tank 1, and is equipped with an on-off valve 31, which discharges cleaning water etc. by opening and closing the drain port.

Since one embodiment of the device according to the present invention is configured as described above, when attempting to drain and quantitatively fill absorbed rice into the rice cooking container 19 of a known automatic rice cooker,
Pre-absorbed rice and water are stored in the soaking tank 1, and when the rice cooking container 19 moves to the lower part of the weighing chamber 5, the on-off valve 3 of the discharge pipe 4 is opened. The rice falls into the weighing chamber 5 along with the water, and the water exits from the small hole 6 provided on the circumference of the weighing chamber 5 to the water receiver 9 on the outside and is discharged to the drain gutter 9', leaving only the rice in the weighing chamber 5. Since the amount accumulates in the weighing chamber 5, look through the transparent parts of the discharge pipe 4 and adjustment cylinder 8, close the on-off valve 3 of the discharge pipe 4 when it is full, and close the on-off valve 11 of the discharge pipe 10 in the weighing chamber 5. When opened, the rice that has absorbed enough water is removed and weighed and filled into the rice cooking container 18. This rice is then mixed with water weighed in another weighing chamber 12 (in the case of seasoned rice, seasoning is added). If a fixed amount of liquid) is supplied by closing the intake pipe 14 and opening the discharge pipe 15, the rice cooking container 1
It is possible to automatically perform the correct quantitative filling of water-absorbing rice and the water addition operation to No. 9.

In this case, if the on-off valves 11, 16.17, etc. are connected with motors 24.25 as shown in Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings, the opening and closing of the valves can be automated, allowing automatic control of the device. , which can be operated remotely.

As described above, the device according to the present invention stores pre-absorbed rice together with water in a soaking tank, sends the rice together with water to the weighing chamber, and flows the water from J4L provided on the circumference of the weighing chamber to the outside. Only the rice is stored in the weighing chamber by discharging it into the water tray and draining it from the water tray into the drainage gutter.When the weighing chamber is full, the rice supply is stopped using a valve, and the rice with the water in the weighing chamber drained is cooked, for example. Since the method involves feeding water into a container and adding a measured amount of water or seasoning liquid using a separate measuring device, the operation of dehydrating the soaked rice and filling it in a fixed amount is carried out using the valves on the inlet side and the valve on the outlet side of the weighing chamber. Not only can this be done quickly and reliably by simply opening and closing the Automatic control and remote control are also easily possible.

In particular, this device stores the rice together with water in the soaking tank, so the rice absorbs water during this time as well, so it is possible to reduce the pre-water absorption time of the rice, and when sending the rice out, it is possible to The water flow allows the water-absorbed rice to be sent out smoothly, and once the rice enters the weighing chamber, it receives water from the small holes on the circumference.
Since the water can be drained and only the rice stored in the weighing chamber, it is possible to accurately weigh only the rice that has absorbed sufficient water.

Therefore, by simply adding a specified amount of water to this rice, it is possible to mechanically maintain the difficult water level and easily obtain ideal cooked rice. If the water is collected and sent to a soaking tank or the like through a drainage gutter, the water can be used effectively without scattering, so it is not only suitable as a quantitative filling device for rice used in automatic rice cookers, but also by absorbing water in advance. It can be widely used in the production of various processed grain products that yield better results if left to stand and steam.
