A rice sorter 5 for sorting scrap rice from finished grains (brown rice), a finished grain storage tank 6 for storing the finished grains sorted by the rice sorter 5, and a set amount of finished grains from the finished grain storage tank 6. is provided for weighing and packing into the bag h.

The control unit 40 of the grain dryer K, the control unit 41 of the huller sorter 4, the control unit 42 of the rice sorter 5, the control unit 43 of the scale 7, the control unit 44 of the combine C, and the control unit 44 for management It is configured to communicate with the terminal T, and the operation information of each device is displayed on the screen of the terminal T for management.

The combine C is equipped with a grain tank 8 for containing harvested grain (unhulled rice) and a discharge auger 9 for discharging the grain contained in the grain tank 8. - 特許庁Also, a weight sensor 45 for measuring the weight of grains contained in the grain tank 8 is mounted, and the weight information of the weight sensor 45 is transmitted to the management terminal T via the control unit 44 .

Further, a fuel flow meter 46 for measuring the amount of fuel used in the combine C is provided, and information on the amount of fuel used is also transmitted to the terminal T for management.

FIG. 5 shows an external view of the grain dryer K. As shown in FIG. A box 10 for containing grains, an operation panel 11 for setting the drying speed and target moisture value, and a moisture meter 12 for detecting the moisture content by taking samples from the grains being transported are provided. It also has a fuel tank 13 that stores fuel to be supplied to the combustion burner 9 that generates hot air, and a fuel flow meter 14 that detects the amount of fuel supplied from the fuel tank 13 . It also has a dryer main motor 26 that conveys the grain inside the dryer and a dryer power meter 27 that detects the amount of power used by the dryer main motor 26 . The dryer power meter 27 may also detect the electric energy of an exhaust fan motor (not shown) that drives an exhaust fan 28 that exhausts hot air to the outside of the dryer.

FIG. 4 shows a diagram for explaining the inside of the hull sorter 4. As shown in FIG.

A rice hulling roll 15 for hulling rice, a wind selection part 16 for wind-selecting the chaff, a rocking sorting plate 17 for sorting the unhulled rice from the unhulled rice, and a brown rice partitioning plate 18 for separating and taking out the unpolished rice layer of the rocking sorting plate 17. and a huller main motor 19 for driving the huller sorter 4 . A partition plate position detection sensor 25 for detecting the partition position of the brown rice partition plate 18 is provided. Since the amount of brown rice discharged from the hulled rice separator 4 as finished brown rice varies depending on the position of the brown rice partition plate 18, the positional information of the brown rice partition plate 18 detected by the partition plate position detection sensor 25 is used by the so-called hulled rice separator. It is a measure for judging the sorting efficiency of 4. A rice huller power meter 30 for detecting the power consumption of the rice huller main motor 19 is also provided.

FIG. 7 shows a diagram for explaining the inside of the rice sorter 5. As shown in FIG.

The rice sorter 5 has an inlet 20 into which brown rice, which is the finished grain discharged from the huller sorter 4, flows in, a grain-fed spiral 21 for frying the brown rice, and scraps from the brown rice fried by the grain-fed spiral 21. A sorting net 22 for sorting rice, a brown rice discharge port 23 for discharging brown rice, and a rice sorter main motor 24 for driving the rice sorter 5 are provided. A rice sorter wattmeter 31 for detecting the power consumption of the rice sorter main motor 24 is provided.

Next, the unhulled rice harvested by the combine C is dried by the grain dryer K, the unhulled rice is hulled and sorted by the hull sorter 4 to obtain brown rice, and the brown rice is bagged by the set amount by the weighing machine 7, which is the weighing and sorting work. The process will be explained.

The weight information of the weight sensor 45 is accumulated and input to the control unit 44 of the combine C each time the discharge auger 9 operates the discharge work. For example, when the harvesting operation is completed in the field A after 10 discharge operations, the accumulated weight of the 10 times is the total weight of the agricultural field A. For example, when the operator inputs that the harvesting work of the field A is completed, the information of the total weight is transmitted to the terminal T for management. The unloading work is performed toward the bed of a truck (not shown), and the grain is transported to the grain dryer by the truck.

The paddy harvested from fields A and B is put into the grain dryer K1. The grain dryer K1 is equipped with a weighing scale 32 such as a load cell to measure the weight of the loaded grain.

When the grain dryer K1 dries to the target moisture value, the drying operation is finished. Then, information on the weight of the paddy at the end of drying and the drying operation time is transmitted to the terminal T for management.

The unhulled rice after the drying operation is supplied to the grain storage tank 3 and temporarily stored therein, and then sequentially supplied to the hull sorter 4 for hull sorting. Unpolished rice hulled and sorted by a hull sorter 4 passes through a rice sorter 5, and waste rice mixed with the brown rice is sorted out and stored in a finished grain storage tank 6. - 特許庁A predetermined amount of brown rice is stored in a brown rice bag h (30 kg per bag) from the finished grain storage tank 6 by the weighing device 7, and the operator performs bagging work.

The time required for the hull sorting work required for the hull sorting machine 4 and the time required for the unpolished rice bagging work by the scale 7 are transmitted to the management terminal T. At the same time, information on the amount of unpolished rice weighed by the scale 7 is transmitted to the terminal T for management.

FIG. 2(a) shows each work process of the harvesting operation time required for harvesting by the combine C, the drying operation time of the grains loaded in the grain dryer K1, the hull sorting operation time, and the weighing operation time. 10 is a bar graph showing the total operating time on the screen of the management terminal T, which is the sum of the times required for the operation. That is, the length of the bar indicates the length of time. Also, the total weight of unhulled rice measured by the weighing scale 32 of the grain dryer K1 and the total weight of unpolished rice measured by the weighing scale 7 are displayed.

FIG. 2(b) is a diagram showing on the screen that the total operating time and the operating time required for each work process are proportionally divided by the size of each of the fields A and B. FIG.

(C) of FIG. 2 displays a table in which the total weight of unhulled rice and the total weight of brown rice are proportionally divided by the size of each of field A and field B. Further, the sales amount converted from the amount of unpolished rice and the amount of sales The profit after deducting the fuel cost and electricity cost from the amount is displayed.

The fuel is detected from the detection data of the fuel flow meter 14 and converted from the unit price of the fuel set in advance.

As for the fuel, the combine C uses light oil, and the dryer K uses a different type of oil than kerosene, so they are shown separately.

The amount of electric power is converted from data detected by wattmeters (27, 30) provided in the main motor 26 of the grain dryer K, the main motor 19 of the hull sorter 4, and the like. The unit price of electric energy is set in advance like the unit price of fuel. Then, the amount obtained by subtracting the fuel and electricity charges from the sales amount is displayed as the profit. As a result, the administrator can grasp the approximate profit obtained for each field.

Alternatively, the weight may be proportionally divided based on information on the total weight of the farm field A and the total weight of the farm field B measured by the weight sensor 45 of the combine C. In this case, there is an advantage that the actual harvested weight is reflected rather than the proportional distribution based on the size of the field.

FIG. 3 shows the operation required for each work process of the grain drying operation time, the hull sorting operation time, and the weighing operation time when the grains of field C, field D, and field E are put into the grain dryer K2. Fig. 10 is a bar graph showing the total running time by summing the hours; Then, the total operating time and the operating time required for each work process were proportionally divided based on the size of the area of each of the fields C, D, and E, or the total for each field measured by the weight sensor 45 of the combine C. It shows that it was prorated based on weight. The concept is the same as in FIG.

The effect of FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described.

By proportionally dividing the total operating time by the size of the field, it is possible to easily convert the work time for each field, which is a guideline. In addition, the amount of finished brown rice, sales amount, cost, and profit for each field, which serve as a guideline, can be easily converted and grasped. Moreover, by proportionally dividing the total weight of each field measured by the weight sensor 45 of the combine harvester, the actual harvest amount can be reflected.

By comparing the operation times of the grain dryer K1 and the grain dryer K2, it is possible to grasp the efficiency of each work process. For example, when it is determined that the work process of the rice hull sorter 4 is longer than usual, it is possible to verify the sorting efficiency from the position information of the brown rice partition plate 17 by the partition plate position detection sensor 25 at that time. . Also, if the grain dryer K has a long working time, the setting of the drying speed can be verified.

FIG. 3 shows the total amount of finished unpolished rice obtained by weighing the grains of the grain dryer K1 with a scale, and dividing them proportionally by the size of the fields A and B. FIG. As a result, the amounts of unpolished rice in fields A and B can be converted by a simple method. Moreover, by proportionally dividing the total weight of each field measured by the weight sensor 45 of the combine harvester, the actual harvest amount can be reflected.

The amounts of "sales amount", "fuel", "electric power", and "profit" shown in the tables of FIGS. 2 and 3 are not exact numerical values based on tests or the like, but are examples.

Further, although the scale 7 of this embodiment is provided on the finished grain storage tank 6 side, a so-called weighing and sorting machine in which the rice sorting machine 5 is provided with a scale may also be used.

As an example of the present embodiment, for example, the weight of the grain (unhulled rice) at the time the drying operation is completed is measured, the predicted amount of finished brown rice is converted, and the number of bags h used in the weighing machine 7 is calculated. By converting and displaying, the manager can prepare the bag h in advance. Further, it is possible to detect that the operating time of the huller sorter 4 is about to end from the predicted amount of finished brown rice, and to display that effect on the terminal T for management. Here, when the operation time of the grain huller 4 is nearing the end, for example, when the grain is discharged from the grain dryer K, a sensor (in this embodiment, Such as timing just before the moisture meter 12) is expected to detect no grain.

Next, the conversion of the operation time and the amount of finished brown rice when grains in a certain field are straddled over a plurality of dryers will be described with reference to FIG.

This embodiment describes how to calculate the operation time and the amount of finished brown rice in the field C when the field C is straddled between the first dryer K1 and the second dryer K2.

The fact that the grains in the field C are straddled across a plurality of dryers means that, for example, during the harvesting operation in the field C, the first dryer K1 becomes full, and the second dryer K2 becomes full. This is the case when the

In this case, the operating times of the first dryer K1 and the second dryer K2 are proportionally divided and converted in the same manner as in FIGS. Next, the operating time in the field C is converted by summing the operating time converted by the first dryer K1 and the operating time converted by the second dryer K2. The amount of finished brown rice, fuel, etc. are similarly calculated.

This makes it possible to calculate the operation time required for the field C and the amount of finished brown rice even if the grains in the field C are straddled over a plurality of dryers K.

In this embodiment, the operation information is directly transmitted to the management terminal T, but the operation information may be transmitted to the management terminal T via a cloud or a server.
