COIN OPERATED RICE MILLING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to surely receive rice milling service meeting fed fare even when the user mistakes the procedure of operation and more particularly when the user delays in feeding unpolished. SOLUTION: This coin operated rice milling machine is constituted by partitioning the inside of a building to a machine room and a customer room. The machine room has at least an unpolished rice transporting device 5, stone removing device 6, rice milling device 7 and milled rice housing tank 8 communicated from an unpolished rice feeding port 4 of the customer room side and a controller for controlling the same. The machine automatically carries out a rice milling treatment according to the number of the coins fed into the coin feeding port of a control panel 10 disposed in the customer room. In such a case, the unpolished rice transporting device 5 has a feeding check sensor 12 for detecting the presence or absence of the unpolished rice. The unpolished rice transporting device 5 starts operating regardless of the presence or absence of the unpolished rice simultaneously when the user pushes the whiteness switch of the control panel. The counting of the operation time T meeting the number of the fed coins is, however, started by waiting for the unpolished rice detection signal of the feeding check sensor 12.
