Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grain which sorts grains such as rice grains into sized grains and debris grains such as immature grains according to various particle sizes, and packs the selected grains into weighing bags. And the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a grain sorter capable of sorting rice grains and the like into sized grains and immature grains according to the particle size, and packing the sized grains into measuring bags, a vertical sorter is available. Machines are conventionally known in general.

[0003] This type of vertical sorter rotates a sorting net formed in a cylindrical shape by drilling a large number of sorting holes in a peripheral wall and a helix helical body disposed inside the sorting net. The sorting net and the helical spiral are rotated relative to each other by a driving source in the opposite directions by a drive source. When grains are lifted upward by the relative rotation of the body and the helix, the grains smaller in diameter than the sorting holes of the sorting net are released to the outside from the sorting holes of the sorting net as debris and pass through the sorting holes. Grains having a particle size that cannot be obtained are fried as sized and stored in a storage tank. The debris released from the sorting holes of the sorting net falls down the gap between the outer shell and the outer peripheral surface of the sorting net and is discharged outside the machine via the discharge chute.

[0004] The sized granules stored in the storage tank are packed in a weighing bag using a weighing device installed below the outlet of the storage tank. The debris such as small grains and immature grains are discharged outside the machine through a discharge chute and stored in an appropriate bag or container.

[0005]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Grains such as rice grains have their respective sorting standards set according to quality, grade or use, etc. The sorting standards for grains in a vertical sorter are vertical sorters. It is determined by the mesh size (mesh width) of the sorting hole of the sorting net attached to the machine. By the way, grains such as rice grains are not necessarily identical in appearance due to environmental conditions such as weather, even if the same variety is cultivated in the same field, and it is necessary to appropriately change the selection criteria according to the crop. ing. That is, in the sorting of the grains, it is necessary to set the mesh size of the sorting holes of the sorting net according to the quality, grade or application, etc., in order to obtain a grain of a desired particle size, A sorting net having a mesh size of a sorting hole corresponding to a desired particle size must be selected and mounted on a vertical sorting machine.

[0006] As described above, sorting nets having different mesh sizes (mesh widths) of the sorting holes are changed each time depending on the lot of the grain, and further, according to the quality, grade or use, etc.
It is necessary to perform sorting and weighing bags, which greatly deteriorates the work efficiency.

In a vertical type sorting machine, the same mesh is formed by increasing and decreasing the number of rotations of the sorting net and the helix spiral by controlling the drive source for rotating the sorting net and the helix spiral by inverter control. The ability to change the particle size of the sizing which can be sorted by the size sorting net is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-102341 and Japanese Patent Publication No.
No. 110351 discloses this. That is,
For example, using a sorting net having a mesh size (mesh width) of 1.80 mm, the rotating speed of the fried spiral is set to 340 rpm, and the rotating speed of the sorting net is about 1/5 of the rotating speed of the fried spiral.
When sorting is performed as described above, grains having a particle size of 1.80 mm or more can be obtained as sized grains, and the rotation speed of the fried spiral is 340 rpm without replacing the sorting net.
From 340 to 550 rpm,
It is possible to appropriately sort even a grain having a grain size of about 2/100 of the mesh size (mesh width), that is, a grain having a grain size of about 1.77 mm, and the mesh size (mesh width) of the sorting hole is constant. Even so, by changing the number of rotations of the sorting net and the helix spiral, the grain size of the grains to be sorted can be selected within a certain range.

[0008] However, the range of the grain size of the grain obtained by controlling the relative rotation speed of the sorting net and the helix spiral is up to about 2/100 of the mesh size (mesh width). If it is required to select a grain size outside the range, the corresponding mesh size (mesh width)
Needs to be replaced with a sorting net having

Further, in the conventional vertical sorter, the sized bags selected by the relative rotation of the sorting net and the hulling spiral can be efficiently packed in a measuring bag, but at the time of sorting through a discharge chute. The debris released outside the machine was simply stored in an appropriate container or bag without being weighed and processed. By the way, these waste particles can also be used for various purposes, for example, in the case of rice cereals, as processing rice, which is a material for edible rice for business use and rice crackers. However, in the conventional vertical sorter, since these refuse particles cannot be directly weighed and packed in a bag, it is necessary to separately weigh them again when wholesale them to a grain processor or the like. The work could not be performed continuously and efficiently.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and is intended to prepare grains such as rice grains having a desired particle size in accordance with various qualities, grades or uses. Provided is a sorting device for grains and the like that can be immediately sorted into grains and other waste particles, and that can continuously and efficiently perform the measurement bag packing of the waste particles as well as the sizing measurement bag packing. The purpose is to do so.

First, first and second vertical sorters A and B
In the following, a description will be given of a case where sorting nets having different mesh sizes (mesh widths) of the sorting holes are attached. The sorting nets 8, 8b attached to the first and second vertical sorters A, B, respectively, will be described. Are different in mesh size (mesh width) of the sorting holes 7 and 7b. For example, the first vertical sorter A has 1.85 mm.
A second vertical sorter B using a sorting net 8 having a mesh size of
Uses a screened mesh 8b having a mesh size of 1.80 mm.

A grain such as rice cereal to be sorted is fed to a frying machine C.
Into the supply hopper 52. At that time, the particle size is 1.
When sorting grains of 85 mm or more as sized,
The first vertical sorter A to which the sorting net 8 having a mesh size of 1.85 mm is mounted is used. The first vertical sorter A is operated, and the fork of the graining machine C is operated. By operating the lever 55 of the branch pipe 53 of the
Is switched to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 (b), and the discharge hole 61 of the fried cylindrical body 51 is connected to the first discharge pipe 56 via the first outlet 53 a of the branch pipe 53.

The grains charged into the supply hopper 52 of the graining machine C are grain-lifted by the bucket conveyor 65 and discharged from the discharge holes 61 to the branch pipe 53. The grains flow through the first discharge pipe 56 via the flow path switching plate 54 of the bifurcated branch pipe 53, and the first vertical sorter passes through the lower opening end of the first discharge pipe 56.
