Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a recovery route for bran generated when white rice is polished.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional rice milling machine is constructed as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The brown rice put into the hopper 1 is the rice milling machine main body 2
The rice is subjected to whitening treatment in the whitening tube 3 and is separated into white rice A and bran B and discharged. The white rice A is discharged to the outside of the casing 5 of the rice mill through the chute 4. The bran outlet 6 of the white polishing cylinder 3 is connected to a suction port 8 of a blower 7 by a duct 9. A bran box 10 is detachably attached to the casing 5, and a discharge port 11 of the blower 7 carries the bran B to the upper portion of the bran box 10 through a duct 12. Specifically, an opening 14 is formed in a lid 13 of the bran box 10, a filter 15 separates air from the bran B, and the air passes through the filter 15 and is discharged to the outside of the bran box 10. The bran B is stored in the bran box 10.

The rice mill main body 2 and the blower 7 are installed on the mounting base 16 of the casing 5, and the pulleys 18, 19, and 18 are installed by the electric motor 17 installed on the same mounting base 16.
It is driven by a single power source via 20 and belts 21 and 22.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The recovery route of the bran B of such a conventional rice milling machine can be expressed as shown in FIG. In this configuration, the bran B adheres to the ducts 9 and 12 and grows, so that the collection path is clogged. When such bran clogging occurs, it is necessary to disassemble the casing 5 for maintenance.

An object of the present invention is to provide a rice milling machine that can reduce the chance of maintenance by disassembling the casing 5.

Means for Solving the Problems In the rice mill of the present invention, the received brown rice is subjected to whitening treatment in the body of the rice mill and separated into white rice and bran, and the bran discharged from the body of the rice mill is blown by a bran box. In addition to transporting air to the bran, insert the discharge port of the blower directly into the lower part of the bran box, and in the bran box, the bran blown from the blower is extended from the lower part of the bran box to the upper part. It is characterized by having a duct for blowing up at the top of the box.

Function According to this configuration, the bran separated by the rice milling machine is sent through the blower from the outlet of the blower to the duct attached to the bran box, and after being blown up by the duct to the upper part of the bran box Stored at the bottom of the box.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. It should be noted that components having the same functions as those in FIGS. 6 to 8 showing a conventional example will be described with the same reference numerals.

2 to 5 show a rice polishing machine according to the present invention. The rice polishing machine main body 2, the air blower 7 and the electric motor 17 are installed on the mounting base 16 of the casing 5, and the electric motor 17 blows the rice polishing machine main body 2 and the air blower. The device 7 is being driven. Here, blower 7
Is mounted on the mounting base 16 so as to be close to the bran box 10 which is detachably mounted on the outer surface 23 of the casing 5, and the outlet 11 of the blower 7 is mounted on the outer surface 23 of the casing 5.
And is inserted in the lower part of the bran box 10 mentioned above.

A suction port 8 of the blower 7 and a bran outlet 6 of the rice milling machine body 2 are connected by a duct 9.

Inside the bran box 10, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
A duct 24 extending from the lower part to the upper part of 10 is provided. When the bran box 10 is attached to the casing 5, the duct 24 is provided.
The discharge port 11 of the blower 7 is inserted into the lower opening 25 of the.

With this configuration, the bran B is the discharge port of the blower 7.
It is blown directly into the duct 24 inside the bran box 10 from 11,
The inside of the duct 24 is blown up to the upper part of the bran box 10, and the blown bran B is attached to the opening of the bran box 10.
It collides with the center of the back surface of 13 and is accumulated at the bottom of the bran box 10.
The air blown into the bran box 10 from the duct 24 passes through the filter 15 attached to the back surface of the lid 13 and is discharged from the opening 14 of the lid 13. In addition, when discarding the bran accumulated in the bran box 10,
The bran box 10 is removed from the casing 5, and the bran therein is discarded. The bran adhered to the duct 24 can also be easily cleaned at this time.

As described above, since the duct 12 found in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is not required, the recovery route of the bran B can be shortened as compared with the conventional one, and the bran B adheres and grows inside the casing 5. The number of places can be reduced. This configuration can be expressed as the schematic diagram shown in FIG.

In the conventional example shown in FIG. 7, when the duct 12 is removed and the discharge port 11 is inserted into the bran box 10, the mounting base 16
Part of the mounting base 16 is changed to a higher position so that the blower 7 can be installed in a position where
Although a bearing or the like is provided to transmit the power from the electric motor 17 to the blower device 7, as shown in FIG. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, the discharge port 11 of the blower device 7 is inserted in the lower part of the bran box 10. Therefore, it is not necessary to elevate a part of the mounting base 16 or a bearing for transmitting the power from the electric motor 17 to the blower 7, and the blower 7 can be easily installed.

Furthermore, when the discharge port 11 of the blower 7 is inserted in the lower part of the bran box 10, the effective capacity of the bran box 10 is reduced,
Since the bran box 10 is provided with the duct 24, there is no such decrease in effective capacity.

As described above, according to the present invention, the discharge port of the air blower for pneumatically transporting the bran discharged from the rice milling machine is directly inserted into the lower part of the bran box. Since the duct that blows the bran sent from the blower from the lower part to the upper part is blown up to the upper part of the bran box, the recovery route of the bran can be made shorter than before, and the discharge port of this blower is the same as that of the bran box. Since it is inserted in the lower part, it is easy to install the blower. Furthermore, if the blower outlet is inserted in the lower part of the bran box, the effective capacity of the bran box will decrease, but this bran box will be extended from the bottom to the top of the bran box. Since the duct is provided, the effective capacity does not decrease. Regarding the bran that adheres to the duct provided in the bran box,
It can be easily cleaned when the bran box is removed from the casing and the bran inside is thrown away.
