Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a green tea chicken manure ball containing chicken manure and green tea, and a method for manufacturing the same, wherein the chicken manure ball for natural fertilizer is produced using chicken manure and green tea powder as main raw materials, and is provided as a natural fertilizer chicken manure ball containing five major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) evenly within an organic content range of approximately 67±4% for use in leafy vegetables, fruit vegetables, fruit trees, and indoor houseplants, and is applied so as not to generate odors even when used indoors.

[0002] The chicken manure ball made using chicken manure and green tea powder, provided by the present technology, resolves the issues of gas generation and odor in the soil caused by chicken manure, which are currently presented as core complaints in the field of agricultural technology. It is a technology necessary for modern eco-friendly farming methods, as it possesses composting efficacy and is used as a natural fertilizer suitable for leafy vegetables, fruit vegetables, and household potted plants, serving as a natural fertilizer component suitable for eco-friendly agriculture. Background Technology

[0003] Current advanced agricultural technology prescribes the amount of compost and chemical fertilizers based on soil testing conducted through agricultural cooperatives and agricultural technology centers. Furthermore, various methods are being employed to lower E and C levels by examining the degree of soil contamination, such as salt accumulation, through EC testing.

[0004] Meanwhile, fertilizers in the form of compost or liquid fertilizer made from livestock and poultry manure have been used as a substitute for chemical fertilizers for the production of eco-friendly agricultural products. However, compost is prepared by mixing livestock manure with moisture absorbents such as sawdust and rice husks and fermenting it for a certain period. Since this fermentation process takes a long time, if used in an unfermented state, it not only causes foul odors but also generates gas in the soil, which is a factor that causes plants to wither.

[0005] Farmers are well aware of the benefits of chicken manure, particularly in the cultivation of leafy vegetables, fruit vegetables, and fruits; however, complaints have arisen due to the generation of gases and odors in the soil caused by the manure. Furthermore, when used inside greenhouses, the low specific gravity of the manure causes it to be blown away by the wind and stick to the ceiling, acting as a factor that hinders plant photosynthesis, making its use impossible.

[0006] Currently, most poultry farms face difficulties in handling complaints regarding odor generation due to stricter environmental regulations on manure disposal rather than egg sales. Furthermore, because chicken manure has a lower specific gravity compared to pig or cow manure, it is difficult to apply directly to soil or use in greenhouses; consequently, its applications are limited to methods such as processing it in composting plants. Consequently, it is sold on the market after simple processing, such as pelletizing, but this method does not resolve the odor problem. As a result, odor-free chicken manure balls are currently being sold imported from foreign countries such as Germany and the Netherlands.

[0007] Since attempts are being made to import and use products such as this type of imported chicken manure pellets, which are mainly pellet-based products manufactured by mixing oilseed meal (such as castor meal) and various additives, in order to localize production, for example, regarding technologies related to the manufacture of organic compost targeting livestock manure, many similar Korean Registered Patents are being considered, such as Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0462953 (Registered Dec. 13, 2004, Title: Method for manufacturing microbial fertilizer using microorganisms and humic acid), Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2025123 (Registered Sep. 19, 2019, Title: Eco-friendly peat bedding and method for manufacturing the same), Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1965417 (Registered March 28, 2019, Title: Composition of an odor-reducing agent for livestock manure containing peat moss fermentation product or its extract as an active ingredient), and Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1034047 (Registered May 2, 2011, Title: Method for manufacturing a plant growth promoter using peat moss). Although prior art is presented, most of the technologies disclose a method of producing liquid or powdered microbial fertilizers by using humic acid from leaf mold, peat, etc., and mixing cultured microbial strains therein. Additionally, technologies are disclosed for the purpose of removing odors from livestock manure, such as mixing sawdust and minerals into peat, combining groundwater with complex microbial strains (Rhizobium japonicum, Azotobacter vinellandi, Rhodopseudomonas plasmis, Clostridium aceticum, and 12 other species), and aging the mixture.

[0008] However, in conventional technology, there has not been any disclosure regarding natural fertilizer provided as chicken manure balls that are applied without odor, when using chicken manure as the main raw material to obtain organic fertilizer for urban use, containing approximately 60% organic components necessary for leafy vegetables, fruit vegetables, and fruit trees, along with a balanced amount of the five major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium). However, it was confirmed that when the technology of the present application is applied, the moisture content of the chicken manure can be reduced to provide natural chicken manure balls that contain more than 60% organic matter and a balanced amount of the five major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium), leading to the filing of a patent application. The problem to be solved

[0009] This invention was initiated with the goal of finding the potential for an eco-friendly fertilizer product capable of diversifying the scope of use for chicken manure, such as greenhouses, urban agriculture (e.g., vegetable gardens), and indoor companion plants (pots). This is achieved by addressing the difficulties in using conventional chicken manure, such as the existing dry chicken manure provided in powder form, which causes dust when sprayed and generates odors and gases as the manure decomposes, thereby causing discomfort to neighboring farms and generating complaints. To resolve these issues, the product is formed into balls with a diameter of 1 to 15 mm through processes such as mechanical automation, thereby eliminating the source of odors and gases.

[0010] The present invention aims to provide a green tea chicken manure ball and the manufacturing technology thereof, which meets the standards for processed chicken manure required by the government and contains all five major nutrients, with an organic matter content in the range of 67±4% under conditions of 13 to 17 parts by weight of green tea powder and 3 to 8 parts by weight of microbial fermentation liquid per 100 parts by weight of chicken manure. means of solving the problem

[0011] To explain the general gist of the manufacturing process disclosed with reference to the materials presented in FIGS. 1 and 2, regarding an embodiment of the invention in which the inventor was able to achieve the purpose of the invention through various experimental processes as a means to achieve the above objective, the manufacturing process applied herein for obtaining environmentally friendly chicken manure balls that do not generate odor or gas involves, first, a raw material preparation process. Since pure chicken manure discharged from a poultry (laying hen) house has a very high moisture content, primary microorganisms are introduced during the process of transferring it to a mixer (compressor), and the mixture is stirred for about 14 days to obtain dry chicken manure from which some moisture has been removed. Then, the dry chicken manure is stored in a designated space (composting room), and microorganisms are added in small amounts at intervals of 4 to 6 days while being stirred to mature / ferment for about 30 ± 5 days to obtain fermented chicken manure. Foreign substances (chicken feathers, chicken claws, etc.) are removed from the fermented chicken manure using a sieve to obtain fermented purified chicken manure, and the fermented purified chicken manure is crushed using a polymer crusher. A raw material preparation process was required to obtain and use purified fermented chicken manure with fine particle size that passes through a sieve in the 200±50 mesh range.

[0012] Furthermore, since the inventor of the present invention had a plan from the beginning to utilize green tea by-products in chicken manure balls, it was decided to first verify the possibility of the green tea by-products containing fertilizer components. In Korea, the Boseong region of Jeollanam-do is nationally famous for its Boseong green tea fields, and the tea plant is Camellia sinensis, belonging to the Theaceae family. It is known that 30–40% of the polyphenol components found in green tea consist of flavonols and catechins. The main components of green tea catechins are epicatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epigallocatechin, and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and it is already well known that among these, the content of epigallocatechin-3-gallate is the highest. The aforementioned polyphenol components of green tea possess various efficacy effects, such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. As it has already been revealed through research that there are, currently in Korea, only young leaves are selected and mainly used as raw materials for green tea, and the rest are being discarded as they cannot find a suitable use. Therefore, the applicant intended to conduct an analysis of the feasibility of using green tea by-products as organic fertilizer in accordance with the quality inspection method for fertilizers under the Rural Development Administration Notice No. 2022-28 to confirm the suitability of the components as fertilizer and to verify whether there are any components that deviate from the specifications set by the Rural Development Administration Notice for use with the chicken manure balls of the present invention to utilize the efficacy of green tea.

[0013] For the sample collection, green tea leaf byproduct raw materials that were selected / selected as green tea raw materials from green tea leaves produced in Boseong, Jeonnam and classified as substandard were purchased, dried in a shaded indoor area for 3 days, passed through a drying oven maintained in the range of 110~150℃, crushed, and then separated by a 200 mesh sieve to obtain green tea powder. The results of the analysis according to the organic fertilizer component analysis method to confirm whether there were any components deviating from the process specifications according to the quality inspection standards for fertilizers under Rural Development Administration Notice No. 2022-28 were obtained, as shown in Table 1.

[0016] When summarizing the core technical concept of the disclosed technology within the scope of technical configurations intended to achieve the purpose to be solved by the inventor of the present invention, through numerous trials and errors in various embodiments using the purified fermented chicken manure obtained from the above preparation process and green tea by-products, the means for obtaining environmentally friendly, odor-free green tea chicken manure balls comprises: first, a preliminary preparation process for obtaining fermented chicken manure by undergoing a fermentation process in which, as a raw material preparation process for chicken manure powder, 3 to 7 parts by weight of livestock manure fermentation microorganisms and 3 to 7 parts by weight of a complex lactic acid bacteria agent are mixed in a mixing ratio ranging from 100 parts by weight of dry chicken manure and stirred at 100 rpm or less using a reduction gear in a mixer (compressor) for a range of 5 ± 1 day; a subsequent preparation process for obtaining fully fermented chicken manure by undergoing a secondary fermentation and maturation process for a range of 25 to 35 days in a reaction tank equipped with a low-speed stirrer for the fermented chicken manure obtained from the preliminary preparation process, followed by a screening process; and the fermented chicken manure obtained through the subsequent preparation process A process for preparing chicken manure powder was required to obtain a first raw material selected by passing the dried fermented chicken manure through a drying oven maintained in the range of 100~150℃, crushing it into fine particles, and sieving it in the range of 200±50 mesh.

[0017] In addition, the invention was completed by confirming that the manufacturing process of the green tea chicken manure ball intended by the present invention could be developed through a process comprising a separate green tea powder preparation process, wherein green tea leaf byproduct raw material classified as substandard after selection among green tea leaf raw materials produced in Boseong, Jeonnam, is processed through a drying oven maintained at a temperature range of 110 to 150°C, crushed, and then sieved through a 200±50 mesh sieve, and a molding process in which the green tea powder, the second raw material, is mixed with 100 parts by weight of the fermented chicken manure, the first raw material, in a ratio of 13 to 17 parts by weight of the green tea powder, the second raw material, while mixing 1 to 5 parts by weight of livestock manure fermentation microorganisms and 1 to 5 parts by weight of complex lactic acid bacteria agent to create a dough state, and a chicken manure ball of size 1 to 15 mm is obtained using a ball molding machine.

[0018] In the process of achieving the purpose of the present invention, the livestock manure fermentation microbial preparation used in the preparatory and molding processes prior to the manufacturing of green tea chicken manure balls was applied to include Arthrobacter sp. and Paracoccus strains.

[0019] In addition, the complex lactic acid bacteria strain used in the pre-preparation and molding processes of the manufacturing process of the present invention's green tea chicken meal balls could be applied to include a microbial preparation containing Lactobacillus and Acidophilus lactic acid bacteria strains.

[0020] Accordingly, in the present invention, for an environmentally friendly green tea chicken manure ball that does not generate odor, a raw material preparation process for chicken manure powder was required, comprising: a pre-stage preparation process to obtain fermented chicken manure by mixing 3 to 7 parts by weight of livestock manure fermentation microorganisms and 3 to 7 parts by weight of complex lactic acid bacteria agent relative to 100 parts by weight of dried chicken manure, and stirring at 100 rpm or less using a reduction gear in a mixer (compressor) for 5 ± 1 day; a post-stage preparation process to obtain fully fermented chicken manure by undergoing a secondary fermentation and maturation process for 25 to 35 days in a reaction tank equipped with a low-speed stirrer after the fermented chicken manure obtained through the pre-stage preparation process, followed by a selection process; and a chicken manure powder preparation process to obtain a first raw material selected by passing the fermented chicken manure obtained through the post-stage preparation process through a drying oven maintained at a temperature of 100 to 150°C, crushing the dried fermented chicken manure into fine particles, and separating it through a sieve in the range of 200 ± 50 mesh.

[0021] As a separate green tea powder preparation process, green tea leaf byproduct raw materials classified as substandard after selection among green tea leaf raw materials produced in Boseong, Jeonnam are passed through a drying oven maintained at a temperature range of 100 to 150°C, then crushed and separated by a 200±50 mesh sieve to prepare the second raw material, green tea powder. Additionally, the second raw material, green tea powder, is mixed with 100 parts by weight of the first raw material, fermented chicken manure, in a ratio of 13 to 17 parts by weight, while 1 to 5 parts by weight of livestock manure fermentation microorganisms and 1 to 5 parts by weight of complex lactic acid bacteria are mixed to create a dough-like consistency. The mixture is then formed into balls of 1 to 15 mm using a ball-forming machine and dried at a temperature range of 70 to 80°C, thereby producing green tea chicken manure balls that do not generate odor, which was confirmed to be environmentally friendly and led to a patent application.

[0022] It was confirmed that the green tea chicken manure balls provided by the present technology can be provided as a natural fertilizer containing five major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) with an organic content in the range of 67±4%.

[0023] It goes without saying that known technology can be applied to a manufacturing process in which the raw materials used in the present invention are made into a dough state, cut into small pieces using an extruder, an electric ball maker, or a hydraulic molder to form chicken manure balls of size 1 to 20 mm, and then dried and polished by passing them through a rotary dryer or a cylindrical heat conduction drum to form round or oval granules to obtain green tea chicken manure balls, which are then weighed into a desired volume and packaged to obtain a finished product packaged, for example, in units of 10 to 20 kg. Effects of the invention

[0024] Currently, most poultry farms face difficulties in handling complaints from neighbors regarding the application of environmental laws and odors during the disposal of chicken manure, rather than in selling eggs. Although chicken manure has excellent composting properties, its use as a fertilizer for crops is limited due to the odor and gas generation inherent in the manure. Consequently, it is sold on the market after simple processing such as pelletization, but the odor problem remains unresolved. However, the green tea chicken manure balls provided by the present technology offer the effect of guaranteeing over 60-70% organic matter content in an odor-free state.

[0025] Therefore, this facility is expected to contribute to the development of eco-friendly agricultural management by providing an effect that functions as an agricultural-specific organic compost that meets government standards, is applicable to agriculture, is free from pathogens, and does not generate odors or gas. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0027] Hereinafter, the structure, operation, and effects of a method for manufacturing agricultural compost using chicken manure as the main raw material according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0028] Terms and words used in this specification and claims are not limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, and should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the invention, based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the terms to best describe their invention.

[0029] In addition, it should be understood that the manufacturing examples described in this specification or the configurations presented in FIGS. 1 and 2 are merely preferred examples of application in the present invention, and that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application.

[0030] First, a manufacturing example to verify the applicability of the present invention is described.

[0031] Example of manufacturing green tea chicken flour ball (A)

[0032] Dry chicken manure was obtained by subjecting 100 kg of drained chicken manure to a primary fermentation process in which 5 kg of livestock manure fermentation microorganisms provided by Cheongsol Agricultural Cooperative Corporation and 5 kg of complex lactic acid bacteria agent provided by Ocean Bio Co., Ltd. were mixed in a ratio of 100:5:5 and stirred in a mixer (compressor) at a reduction gear (60:1) in the 60 rpm range for 15 days. [Process 1]

[0033] It is predicted that the fermentation step of the first process described above will be applied such that the stirred chicken manure, livestock manure fermentation microorganisms, and complex lactic acid bacteria are introduced into a mechanical fermentation facility and stirred, thereby artificially creating a catabolic metabolic environment for cell division and proliferation among the microorganisms inherent in the chicken manure itself, and the livestock manure fermentation microorganisms and complex lactic acid bacteria.

[0034] The primary fermented chicken manure obtained from the above Process 1 was stored in a silo equipped with a low-speed stirrer and a downward-rounded lid, and a secondary fermentation / maturation process for the dried chicken manure was carried out for 30 days. It is predicted that as the dried chicken manure undergoes secondary fermentation and maturation, the livestock fermentation microorganisms and complex lactic acid bacteria decompose organic polymer compounds within the manure into low-molecular-weight compounds through aerobic, facultative anaerobic, and anaerobic fermentation interactions, thereby converting them into a high-quality compost source. During the secondary fermentation process, liquid components evaporated from the livestock manure fermentation microorganisms and complex lactic acid bacteria contained in the dried chicken manure due to self-heating were sprayed back onto the dry chicken manure and the silo's downward-rounded lid. When stirred slowly at a cycle of 4 to 5 times per day for 30 days, fully fermented chicken manure could be obtained. The fermented chicken manure was then passed through a drying oven maintained at a temperature of 100–150°C to obtain dried fermented chicken manure, and after removing foreign substances, it was crushed to a fine particle size and sieved within a 200±50 mesh range. Completely fermented chicken manure was obtained and used through this process. [Process 2]

[0035] At this time, it is desirable to maintain the internal temperature of the silo in the range of 50 to 70°C. In the event that the temperature rises further, cooling water is filled into the white round-shaped reaction vessel. Since deterioration of the dry chicken manure occurs when the temperature exceeds 70°C, it is desirable to maintain the internal temperature of the silo in the range of 50 to 70°C.

[0036] In a separate process, green tea leaf byproduct raw materials classified as substandard after selection from green tea leaf raw materials produced in Boseong, Jeonnam were purchased, dried once in a shaded indoor area, passed through a drying oven maintained in the range of 110–150℃, crushed, and sieved through a 200 mesh to prepare green tea powder, which is the second raw material. [Process 3]

[0037] 100 parts by weight of fully fermented chicken manure obtained through the second process above were mixed with 15 parts by weight of green tea powder raw material obtained through the third process, 3 parts by weight of livestock manure fermentation microorganisms from Cheongsol Agricultural Cooperative Corporation and 3 parts by weight of complex lactic acid bacteria agent were mixed to form a dough, and then chicken manure balls of 5 mm size were obtained using a ball-forming machine [4th process]

[0038] In order to promote the rapid fermentation of chicken manure and the swift discharge and removal of malodorous components, this institution intended to utilize livestock manure fermentation microorganisms containing Arthrobacter strains (Arthrobactor sp.) and Paracoccus provided by Cheongsol Agricultural Cooperative, as well as a microbial preparation of complex lactic acid bacteria strains (Lactobacillus and Acidophilus) provided by Ocean Bio Co., Ltd., in drained chicken manure. The aforementioned Arthrobacter strain (Arthrobactor sp.), also known as bacteria of the Arthrobacter genus, is an aerobic bacterium that primarily inhabits soil and is capable of producing amino acids such as glutamic acid. The generated amino acids are finely broken down into nitrogen by the microorganisms contained in the dry chicken manure of this institution, functioning to smoothly supply nitrogen to crops. Furthermore, the amino acids formed by the aforementioned Arthrobacter strain act as nutrients for crops, suppressing leaf chlorosis, improving leaf color, and increasing sugar content. In addition, the aforementioned Arthrobacter strain activates plant hormones It was applied with the expectation that it could be effective in maintaining soil fertility by enhancing enzymatic activity and enabling the cultivation and proliferation of microorganisms in the soil.

[0039] In addition, since the Arthrobacter strain can control anthracnose in crops, it was applied with the expectation that the productivity and marketability of crops using the functional chicken manure ball of the present invention can be further enhanced.

[0040] In addition, the aforementioned Paracoccus is expected to provide a function that promotes crop growth by fixing carbon, reducing sulfur (S), and oxidizing nitrates, so its use was sought.

[0041] In addition to the results obtained from the above-described manufacturing example of the green tea chicken manure ball (A), the inventor of the present invention was able to confirm from the results in Table 2 that the objective of the present invention can be achieved even when 3 parts by weight of the livestock manure fermentation microorganisms applied in the above manufacturing process (4) and 3 parts by weight of the complex lactic acid bacteria agent are not mixed. It was analyzed that the organic component content and the content of the five major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium) of the green tea chicken manure ball provided by the technology of the present invention are equivalent to or greater than those of the Maru Green Ball (A, B) products currently on the market as chicken manure balls.

[0042] That is, in the manufacturing example of the green tea chicken manure ball (B) as a comparative example, other conditions were applied identically to manufacturing processes 1, 2, and 3 of the green tea chicken manure ball (A), and in the final fourth process, 3 parts by weight of livestock manure fermentation microorganisms and 3 parts by weight of complex lactic acid bacteria were not used, and tap water was used as the process water to form a dough state suitable for molding. The results of the comparative experiment are shown in Table 2.

[0043] Analysis Items (Unit) Classification of experimental samples Maru Green Ball A Maru Green Ball B Main Sample A Main Sample B Organic matter (%) 44.56 58.33 70.06 63.66 Remaining nitrogen (%) 3.03 3.89 5.91 4.08 Remaining Phosphate (%) 1.35 2.43 3.20 2.84 Kalli Remaining Amount (%) 2.14 0.78 3.52 2.84 calcium(%) 5.41 17.62 9.64 6.86 magnesium(%) 1.05 1.10 1.34 1.17 salt(%) 1.01 1.09 1.03 0.93 Busukdo [Comeback Beom] Fully ripened Fully ripened Fully ripened Fully ripened moisture(%) 5.94 4.60 3.47 15.21

[0045] Through the above experimental results, it was confirmed that the green tea chicken manure ball provided by the present technology can be provided as a natural fertilizer containing all five major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) with an organic content of 67±4%, leading to the filing of a patent application.

[0046] The above description focuses on the core manufacturing processes 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the present invention, which are not used in existing technologies, for obtaining the green tea chicken manure balls newly disclosed by this invention. It goes without saying that the green tea chicken manure balls obtained using the technology of this invention can be packaged and sold in standard sizes, such as 5.0kg, 10.0kg, or 20kg, for the convenience of consumers, just as they are applied to existing products from other companies.

[0047] In addition, Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating the processing flow of an example of the application of the present invention's green tea chicken manure balls using industrial machinery. It is not only possible to apply the conventional chicken manure ball manufacturing process, which involves transporting and crushing the raw materials of the product to be processed, mixing and stirring the raw materials, cutting them into small sizes through an extruder, drying, and weighing them, but the problem that the present invention aims to solve is, as described in the description, the difficulty in handling complaints from surrounding areas due to odors during the chicken manure disposal process in conventional poultry farms. Therefore, the present invention sought to find a means to utilize green tea byproducts containing many useful components for new purposes and applied them to chicken manure balls. It can be said that the present invention confirmed an effect exceeding expectations in the recognition of the problem of whether green tea powder can contribute to resolving the odor problem of chicken manure, increase the cohesiveness of the chicken manure balls, and simultaneously promote the efficacy of green tea.

[0048] In addition, in the laboratory manufacturing process of the green tea chicken manure balls of this invention, the fermented chicken manure was crushed to a size of 200 mesh; however, in actual production sites, it may be more desirable to crush and apply it to a fine particle size in the range of 300 to 400 mesh. This is because it is intended to completely micronize and eliminate odor components that may be contained in the dry chicken manure, increase the organic matter content in the dry chicken manure, and ensure that the balls are well molded. Furthermore, when crushed into fine powder, the green tea chicken manure balls exhibit high binding strength even when a small amount of expensive green tea powder is added, so it is desirable to secure the fermented chicken manure or green tea powder in fine particle sizes.

[0049] In addition, after being molded into chicken manure balls of size 1 to 15 mm in the final stage of the manufacturing process of the present invention, it is desirable to maintain the internal temperature of the drying oven in the range of 70 to 80°C, as low temperature ranges are possible. If the internal temperature of the drying oven is 70°C or lower, the drying speed becomes too slow, and if the internal temperature exceeds 80°C and is applied in the range of 100°C, cracks may occur on the surface of the green tea chicken manure balls. Therefore, it is desirable to maintain the internal temperature of the drying oven in the range of 70 to 80°C. Explanation of the symbols

[0050] Figure 1 shows an example of a manufacturing process for obtaining green tea chicken powder balls according to the present invention, and Figure 2 shows an example of an application when the present invention is applied in the field, so no separate explanation of symbols is necessary.
