Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is applied to a grain drying and conditioning facility that receives grain from each producer and ships it after going through the steps of drying, sorting, and storage. , The receiving device relates to an automatic packaging device for self-inspection that collects a portion of grain as a sample for self-inspection, performs self-inspection of the sample, and automatically packs it into bags.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the entire weight of grain received at a grain drying and conditioning facility is weighed using a weighing machine, and at the time of weighing, a portion of the grain is taken as a sample for grain verification. This was dried using a special dryer called a test dryer.

Next, the dry sample for self-testing was manually divided into two parts, and one sample of paddy was directly transported to a special packaging machine and packed into bags.

On the other hand, the other sample of paddy was transported to a self-testing device, separated into mature rice and immature rice, and self-tested, and after completion of the self-testing, it was transported to a special packaging machine and packed into bags.

Thereafter, the samples packed separately in this way are manually grouped together, and the same consignment is managed as a sample of grain.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) For this reason, conventional methods have had the disadvantage that manual labor is required in each step before and after the self-testing of samples for self-testing.

Furthermore, since it is necessary to install two packaging machines, one for packaging the two divided samples as they are, and another for packaging them after undergoing self-inspection, there is also the drawback that the overall equipment cost increases.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, save labor in packaging, and reduce equipment costs.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, the invention of claim 1 provides a quantitative discharge port and a surplus discharge port 1.
], a distributor that divides and discharges the dried sample rice supplied from the test dryer from each discharge port, and a paddy that feeds the sample rice discharged from the excess discharge port of the distributor to the sample packaging machine. and (5) a self-testing device for hulling, grain sorting, and grain sorting the sample paddy discharged from the quantitative discharge port of the distributor and separating it into mature brown rice and immature rice.

It consists of

Further, the invention of claim 2 provides that in the automatic packaging device for self-inspection according to claim 1, the paddy conveyor is a bucket-type conveyor, and the bucket-type conveyor handles sample paddy that is simultaneously processed by the self-inspection device. The sample paddy is provided with the same number of buckets as the number of types, and the sample paddy is fed from the bucket-type conveyor to the sample packaging machine, and the processed brown rice and immature rice are fed from the processed brown rice and immature rice conveyor to the sample packaging machine. It is made up of consecutive pieces of the same type.

(Function) In the invention of claim 1, the sample rice for self-inspection from the test dryer is divided and discharged by the distributor 1.

The sample rice discharged from the surplus discharge port 4 of the distributor 1 is directly conveyed by the rice conveyor 9 to the sample packaging machine 10 and packed into one bag.

On the other hand, the sample paddy discharged from the quantitative discharge port 5 of the distributor 1 is separated into processed brown rice and immature rice by a self-testing device 8 and subjected to self-testing, and then the same sample is sent to the processed brown rice and immature rice conveyor 13. It is transported to the packaging machine IO and packed into bags.

Therefore, the sample paddy that has not been independently inspected and the sample paddy that has been independently inspected can be packed into bags using the same sample packaging machine 10.

In the invention of claim 2q4, the sample rice discharged from the quantitative discharge port 5 of the distributor 1 is separated into mature rice and immature rice through hulling, grain sorting, and grain sorting in the self-testing device 8,
It is ejected outside the aircraft. Further, in the self-testing device 8, a plurality of samples of one different type of rice are processed simultaneously.

On the other hand, in the bucket conveyor 16, the same number of samples as the number of types currently being processed simultaneously by the self-testing device 8 are placed on standby in each bucket 16A.

Therefore, the sample paddy waiting in the bucket type conveyor 16/heket 16A and the processed unpolished rice and unripe rice discharged from the self-testing device 8 corresponding to the sample paddy are continuously processed in the sample packaging machine 10. Can be packaged.
