Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive reduction of labor by a method wherein, in a cylindrical automatic rice washing device having a polished rice stirring means, a polished rice feed opening, a discharge opening and a water level adjusting means, the upper part of a cylindrical body is communicated with a rice storing hopper through a shutter actuatable to opening and closing position at the polished rice feed opening. CONSTITUTION:A predetermined amount of unpacked polished rice is placed in a hopper 12 and a water level selecting switch is set according to the amount of the polished rice to start the operation of a device. Simultaneously, with its start, a shutter mechanism 11 is opened to drop the polished rice into a rice washing tank 8, a stirring machine 2 is rotated and a water feed valve is opened to start the washing of the rice and the resulting liquid waste is carried out through an opened waste water discharge opening 5. A shutter mechanism 11 is returned to a closing position after lapse of a predetermined time to block a cylindrical passage 13. After undergoing a predetermined rice washing process, the remaining water in the rice washing tank 8 is completely discharged and the water for boiling the rice is then set at a proper quantity. The waste water discharge opening 5 is closed simultaneously with the start of water feed into the rice washing tank 8 and the water level is detected by a sensor 15 located near a cylindrical body 14. The water feed is stopped at the water level corresponding to the throughput of the polished rice and a conical valve 6 is opened to empty the rice and water into a container.

The operating mode of the apparatus of the present invention configured as above will be explained with reference to the drawings.
2), the water level selection switch corresponding to the amount of polished rice is set, and the operation of the device is started. At the same time as the start of operation, the shutter opens and the polished rice stored in the hopper falls into the rice washing tank, and the stirrer (2) rotates and the water supply valve opens to start washing the rice. Washing wastewater is drained out of the system from the open drain port +S). The shutter returns to the closed position after a predetermined opening time and closes the cylindrical body passage. After completing the rice washing process according to a predetermined program, the excess water in the rice washing tank is completely drained, and then water addition and reduction begins. The drain port (
5) is closed, the water level in the tank rises, and the water level is detected by a sensor (15) provided close to the cylindrical body.
