DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rice milling machine for farmers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a rice milling apparatus for a farmer, in which a brown rice storage tank, a refrigeration unit, and a rice milling apparatus are housed in a single box so that brown rice can be taken out and milled by a necessary amount.

[0003]

The above-mentioned known rice-milling apparatus for farmers stores brown rice obtained by milling with cooling (about 150 kg) while cooling it with a refrigeration unit, and takes out only necessary portions so that the rice can be milled. Because of this, it is brown rice storage and requires an independent hulling device separately, and the whole becomes expensive. In addition, brown rice is degraded under high temperature and high humidity conditions. To prevent this, a separate refrigeration mechanism was required. In the rice grains, neutral fats are decomposed by oxidation to produce free fatty acids, which act on starch to prevent gelatinization, leading to aged rice. However, in terms of storage, paddy rice storage is more advantageous than brown rice storage in various aspects. Even in the storage of rice, the quality of rice is still the same as that of brown rice.
The refrigeration mechanism may be one that mainly performs dehumidification. In addition, the above-mentioned known products have a lack of consideration for the size of the brown rice storage tank because the purpose is not clear. The known tank is designed to have a capacity of 150 kg (approximately 2.5 bales), which is only the average half-year consumption of a farmer. In this case, when farmers use them for their own use, they must re-store them six months later, but at that time, there is no rice to store because it is not the harvest season. Therefore, in one box, a large tank (300 kg-600 kg) that can store the amount of rice that a standard farmer consumes for one year, a simple hulling device, and a rice milling device are provided. Farmers will be able to mill and consume until the next harvest season. In addition, for the above purpose, each member only needs to be operated at a rate of about once every two weeks at the most, so that each member is configured to operate independently by a switch (push button) pressed when necessary. Good.

[0004]

Accordingly, the present invention provides a paddy tank 2 which can take out and store at once a paddy rice for private use required by the next year's harvest from the harvested rice grains, and a paddy rice in the paddy tank 2 And a temperature sensor 16 provided in the paddy tank 2.
And a humidity sensor 17, a circulation motor 12 and a dehumidification mechanism 18 that are energized when the temperature exceeds the set values of the temperature sensor 16 and the humidity sensor 17 and stopped when the set value is reached, a circulation mechanism 8 that is operated by the circulation motor 12, and The ventilation mechanism 6, a hulling device 25 operated by a hulling motor 55 capable of hulling only a required amount of the hulled rice stored in the hulling tank 2, and milling brown rice hulled by the hulling device 25. This is a hulling rice mill for farmers comprising a rice mill 39 operated by a rice milling motor 48.

As a whole.

[0015]

Next, the operation will be described. The setting switch a is turned ON, the energizing motor 24 is energized, and a portion of the paddy rice harvested in the current year, which is necessary for private use, is weighed and taken out for one year, and is set in the setting hopper 20. Then, the paddy rice rises inside the fryer cylinder 19 by the ascending conveyor 21 and is sent into the paddy tank 2 from the supply port 22 by the scraping blades 23. The amount is usually in a range of 300 kg to 600 kg, and is stored in the paddy tank 2.

The paddy rice stored in the paddy tank 2 is
Since it is discharged little by little over the year, it may become humid depending on the season. However, if the circulation switch b is turned on, the temperature sensor 16 and the humidity sensor 17 indicate that the temperature exceeds 10 degrees or the humidity is 78%. Is exceeded, the circulation motor 12 and the dehumidification mechanism 18 are energized, and the circulation mechanism 8
In addition, the ventilation mechanism 6 is operated to save the circulation ventilation, and automatically stops and saves when the set value is reached.

Next, when the hulling switch c is turned on once a month, the hulling motor 55 and the feeding motor 14 are turned on.
And the valve conveyor 13 is rotated to take out the required amount of paddy rice, for example, as one square, and send this to the paddy device 25 through the paddy transfer pipe 28 to the rubber plate 27 by the jumping wings 26. The rice is hulled by collision and sent into the wind selection chamber 33 through the discharge pipe 34.

Since the suction air of the rice husk suction blower 30 is passed through the air selection chamber 33, the lightweight rice hull is sucked, flows into the rice husk suction blower 30 through the suction pipe 36 from the suction port 35, and is discharged to the discharge pipe. After passing through 37, it is stored in a rice husk tank 38. The brown rice selected in the wind selection room 33 is supplied to the supply tank 40.
It falls and is stored. When the storage reaches a certain amount, the rice milling switch d is turned on to energize the rice milling motor 48,
The rice milling device 39 is operated to flow into the grain feeding cylinder 42, fried by the grain feeding spiral 45, milled by the milling roll 46, and taken out from the outlet 44.
