Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is mainly applied to rice, such as wheat, and is intended for use as a cargo receiving unit.
The present invention relates to a drying device for a voluntary inspection of a grain co-drying facility such as a rice center, a country elevator, and a dry store, which is composed of a drying section, a storage section, a preparation and shipping section, and the like.

"Prior Art" Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 38-16696, a transfer means for moving a plurality of storage bodies is provided inside a machine casing, hot air is supplied to the bottom of the machine casing, and exhaust air is discharged from the top surface of the machine casing. There was a technique to do.

"Problem to be Solved by the Invention" In the above-mentioned conventional technique, since the transfer means is extended in the lateral direction, it is necessary to form a large installation place of the machine casing,
There are problems that the transporting distance of the transfer means cannot be easily made long, the number of storage units attached is limited, and the drying efficiency cannot be easily improved.

Furthermore, there was a technique for drying the sample grain shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-145493 and a technique for vertically mounting a transfer means as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-189089. Since the sample grains have a non-uniform degree of drying, the sample grains are incompletely dried or over-dried by performing all the sample grains under substantially the same conditions as in the above-mentioned conventional techniques for a substantially constant time. However, there was a problem that the quality (commercial value) of the sample grain was judged inappropriately.

"Means for Solving the Problem" Therefore, according to the present invention, a storage body for storing a predetermined amount of sample grains after receiving and weighing, a transfer means for moving a plurality of storage bodies, and a machine for internally installing the transfer means. In a drying device for self-inspection, which comprises a casing, an inlet for putting sample grains into the container, and a delivery port for taking the sample grains out of the container, in a substantially vertical plane in one direction. A transfer means is installed in the vertical direction so that each container can be circulated and moved, and a moisture sensor for individually detecting the water content of the sample grains in each container and an individual outlet for the sample grains dried to a predetermined water content It is characterized in that a discharge member for taking out from is provided.

[Operation] Therefore, since the storage unit is moved in the vertical direction, it is possible to easily arrange the transfer means having a longer transport distance than the conventional one even in a smaller installation place than the conventional one, and the number of the mounted storage units is limited as in the conventional one. In addition, the drying efficiency can be improved more easily than before, and the sample grains after receiving and weighing can be efficiently dried by shipping port or shipper, and the drying degree is not uniform. The sample grain can be taken out in a state where it is dried to have a substantially constant predetermined water content, and the quality of the sample grain can be properly judged for each cargo port or each shipper.
