Patent number: 11628444Abstract: A rice husker includes a pair of husking rolls. One of the pair of husking rolls is attached to a main shaft and the other of the pair of husking rolls is attached to an auxiliary shaft movable to be close to and away from the main shaft. The rice husker includes abnormality determination means. The abnormality determination means determines that the husking rolls fail to work normally when vibrations having a preset intensity larger than the preset intensity are successively detected by a vibration sensor until a certain time elapses. The certain time is from the start of a husking action to disappearance of distortion on a surface of the husking roll. The vibration sensor is provided on at least either of bearing units of the main shaft and the auxiliary shaft. The vibration sensor detects vibrations occurring due to the husking action by the pair of husking rolls.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2017Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: SATAKE CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Fukumori, Sumio Tagawa, Minoru Koreda

Publication number: 20220163374Abstract: A sieving device includes a mount, and a vibration unit configured to perform reciprocating vibration relative to the mount in one direction in plan view and including a sieve frame. The vibration unit includes a first sensor unit and a vibration state measurement unit. The first sensor unit includes a vibration-unit acceleration sensing unit capable of sensing acceleration of the vibration unit, and a vibration-unit angular velocity sensing unit capable of sensing angular velocity of the vibration unit. The vibration state measurement unit measures a vibration state of the vibration unit based on the acceleration and the angular velocity of the vibration unit, which are sensed by the first sensor unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2020Publication date: May 26, 2022Applicant: SATAKE CORPORATIONInventors: Sumio TAGAWA, Shinpei NOBUTO, Shogo KAWANO
