## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a grinding type vertical grain milling machine in which a cylindrical grinding type grain milling roll body is attached to a main shaft perpendicularly supported to a body base.
2. Description of the Related Art
An existing grinding type vertical grain milling machine is disclosed in Japanese Patent Nos. 3201496 and 4481269. The milling machine will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of the milling machine disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3201496. A hollow main shaft 103 of which the lower end is opened is uprightly formed (perpendicularly supported) at the substantial center of the body base 102 by an upper bearing portion 105 and a lower bearing portion 104. Then, a plurality of annular grinding type grain milling rolls 107 are placed to overlap each other directly above the upper bearing portion 105, whereby a cylindrical integral grain milling roll body is formed. A bran removing metallic mesh cylinder 119 is uprightly formed around the grinding type grain milling roll 107 with a gap therebetween, and a bran removing cover 125 is attached around the bran removing metallic mesh cylinder 119 with a gap therebetween. The gap (space) between the bran removing metallic mesh cylinder 119 and the bran removing cover 125 forms a bran removing chamber 126. Then, an annular bran collecting chamber 150 is formed below the bran removing chamber 126, and the bottom surface thereof is provided with a bran discharge port 153. The bran piled on the bottom surface on the bran collecting chamber 150 is conveyed toward the bran discharge port 153 by a scraping blade 152 sliding on the bottom surface of the bran collecting chamber 150, is suctioned through the bran discharge port 153 and an air discharge pipe 154 by a bran collecting fan 155, and then is discharged to the outside.
However, in the grinding type vertical grain milling machine with the above-described configuration, a problem arises in that the dimension of the machine body in the vertical direction increases due to the configuration in which the hollow main shaft 103 is uprightly formed at the substantial center of the body base 102 by the upper bearing portion 105 and the lower bearing portion 104 and the configuration in which the annular bran collecting chamber 150 is formed below the bran removing chamber 126. Further, in the configuration in which the bran piled on the bottom surface of the bran collecting chamber 150 is conveyed by the scraping blade 152 toward the bran discharge port 153, there are problems in that the number of components increases and the configuration becomes complex.
On the other hand, in the grinding type vertical grain milling machine disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4481269, the bran is removed without using the scraping blade. That is, referring to FIG. 7, in the vertical milling machine, a guide plate 139 and at least one partitioning plate 143 are disposed at the outer periphery of the bran removing cylinder 114. The guide plate 139 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction so as to guide bran powder to a suction duct portion 132, and the partition plate 143 defines the bran removing chamber 124 in the vertical direction and the lower end thereof is separated from the top surface of the guide plate 139 by a predetermined distance. Due to the configuration of the guide plate 139 and the arrangement of the partition plate 143, even when the volume of air suctioned from the suction duct portion 132 decreases, the bran powder discharged from the grain milling chamber to the bran removing chamber 124 may be guided to the suction duct portion 132 and the bran powder may be discharged from the suction duct portion 132. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the bran powder from being accumulated inside the bran removing chamber 124.
The vertical milling machine of FIG. 7 devises a method of obtaining an even suction force in the entire bran removing chamber 124 by providing the partition plate 143, but the suction force may be uneven depending on the space where the partition plate 143 is provided.

The reference numeral 54 indicates a grain discharge roll that is axially attached to the main shaft 19, and as described above, the grinding type grain milling unit 3 is formed by disposing the plurality of grinding type grain milling rolls 26 on the grain discharge roll 54 in a multi-stage shape.
(Body Base Portion)
A motor base 55 is attached to the side portion of the body base portion 6 of the lower machine body, a driving motor 56 is fixed to the motor base 55, and the V-belt 49 is connected between the motor pulley 57 and the pulley 47 so as to be interlocked therewith, whereby the rotation of the motor 56 may be transferred to the main shaft 19. Further, a moving device 58 is attached to the body base portion 6 so as to adjust a distance between the shafts of the motor pulley 57 and the pulley 47 by moving the motor base 55 in the horizontal direction relative to the body base portion 6.

Then, a front end 60a of the male screw portion 60 is fixed to the hook portion 59 and the vicinity of the head portion of the male screw portion 60 is threaded into the female screw portion 61. Accordingly, even when the length of the V-belt 49 wound between the motor pulley 57 and the pulley 47 changes, when the male screw portion 60 is rotated by the amount according to the change, the body base portion 6 and the motor base 55 relatively move, so that the V-belt 49 may be maintained at appropriate tension without looseness.
The bran discharge pipe 45 is transversely provided inside the body base portion 6 so as not to interfere with the pulley 47, the motor pulley 57, and the V-belt 49.
(Operation)
Hereinafter, the operation and the effect of the above-described configuration will be described.
First, the motor 56 as a driving unit is operated so as to rotate the pulley 47, the main shaft 19, and the grinding type grain milling roll 26. In this state, the opening and closing valve 15 is opened by the opening and closing driving unit 16, so that a grain stored in the raw material tank (not shown) or the like is dropped downward from the supply port 14. The dropped grain flows down while being evenly dispersed in the circumferential direction by the guide body 9 present at the downside thereof, and is conveyed to the conveying spiral 13 while being adjusted to an appropriate supply flow rate by the adjusting lever 25.
The conveying spiral 13 sequentially sends the grain to the grain milling chamber 30, and in the grain milling chamber 30, the grain comes into contact with the peripheral surface of the grinding type grain milling roll 26 while undergoing an active flowing action (revolution or rotation) based on a low pressure, so that the surface layer of the grain is scrapped. At this time, in the pulley 47 axially attached to the main shaft 19, the plurality of arm portions 51 of the pulley 47 are formed in a blade shape, and the pulley serves as a fan-pulley that generates a bran removing wind downward. Due to the suction action of the operation of the fan-pulley 47 and the suction action of the operation of the external bran suction fan 44, external air is suctioned from the external air introducing ports 62, and is conveyed into the conveying spiral 13 through the openings 63 and the ventilation ports 64. Then, the external air is conveyed from the inside of the conveying spiral 13 into the grinding type grain milling roll 26, and blows from the air blowing port 32 of the grinding type grain milling roll 26 toward the grain milling chamber 30. The bran passes through the bran removing metallic mesh cylinder 28 by the wind blowing from the grain milling chamber 30, and reaches the bran removing chamber 31. The bran reaching the bran removing chamber 31 is evenly suctioned by the bran removing wind generated by the rotation of the fan-pulley 47, and is discharged toward the bran discharge pipe 45. At this time, since the fan-pulley 47 is formed in the axial fan blade shape, the entire bran removing chamber is evenly suctioned downward, so that the bran is extremely effectively discharged.
Furthermore, in general, the performance of the fan is determined by the number of rotations, the diameter, the thickness, or the shape of the fan. The volume of blowing air increases with an increase in the number of rotations and the diameter, and the air input and output area increases with an increase in the thickness of the fan. In the fan-pulley 47 of the embodiment, a strong bran removing wind may be generated in accordance with a design, but a problem arises in that dust scatters around the milling machine. For this reason, in the embodiment, the diameter is designed to be from 600 mm to 800 mm and preferably to about 710 mm. The number of rotations is designed to be from 500 rpm to 700 rpm and preferably to about 600 rpm. Accordingly, it is supposed that a weak bran removing wind is generated to contribute to rapid bran discharging.
As described above, the grain undergoing the grain milling action by the plurality of grinding type grain milling rolls 26 reaches from the lowermost-stage grinding type grain milling roll 26 to the grain discharge roll 54, and is discharged to the outside of the machine as a milled grain through the discharge port 37 and the discharge cylinder 38 against the resisting plate 41 while undergoing a thrusting action of the grain discharge roll 54.
Next, referring to FIG. 4, a structure for preventing the bran leaking from the fan-pulley 47 provided at the communication portion between the bran discharge cylinder 43 and the bran discharge pipe 45 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, a lower edge 50a is formed at the lower portion of the rim portion 50 of the pulley 47 so that the inner periphery of the rim portion protrudes downward, and an outer edge 47b is formed at the upper portion of the rim portion 50 of the pulley 47 so that the outer periphery of the rim portion protrudes upward. Then, an outer receiving flange 45a is formed near the bran discharge pipe 45 so as to receive the inner peripheral edge 50a of the rim portion 50 from the outside thereof. On the other hand, an inner receiving flange 43a is formed in the bran discharge cylinder 43 near the bran removing chamber 31 so as to be received by the outer peripheral edge 50b of the rim portion 50. Accordingly, when the bran flows from the bran discharge cylinder 43 into the fan-pulley 47, it is possible to prevent the bran from being dropped over the pulley 47 even when the pulley 47 rotates since the inner receiving flange 43a is received by the outer peripheral edge 50b of the pulley 47. Further, when the bran flows from the fan-pulley 47 into the bran discharge pipe 45, it is possible to prevent the bran from being dropped over the bran discharge pipe 45 even when the pulley 47 rotates since the inner peripheral edge 50a of the pulley 47 is received by the outer receiving flange 45a. 
As described above, according to the grinding type vertical grain milling machine of the embodiment of the invention, since the fan-pulley, which has a function of rotationally driving the main shaft having the grinding type grain milling roll body axially attached thereto and a function of generating the bran removing wind for conveying the bran produced by the milling action of the grinding type grain milling roll from the bran removing chamber toward the bran discharge pipe, is provided at the communication portion between the bran removing chamber and the bran discharge pipe, it is not necessary to provide the existing component such as the annular bran collecting chamber provided below the bran removing chamber and the scraping blade sliding on the bottom surface of the annular bran chamber. As a result, the dimension of the machine body of the grinding type vertical grain milling machine in the vertical direction may be shortened. Further, since the fan-pulley is provided, the rotation is transferred from the driving unit to the main shaft, and the bran removing wind is generated. Accordingly, there are excellent operation and effect in that the existing scraping blade for discharging the bran is not provided and the installation space is not needed.
The present invention may be applied to various grain producing machines that need both a function of rotating a main shaft and a function of generating a wind by the rotation of a main shaft.
