Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a filling and cleaning component, in particular to a filling and cleaning component of an automated sampling system suitable for automatically sampling raw milk transported by a raw milk tanker, and belongs to the technical field of raw milk detection. Background Art
[0002] After milk stations purchase raw milk, it's typically shipped to dairy processing companies via tanker trucks. To ensure the quality of subsequent milk and dairy products, these companies must rigorously inspect the raw milk in the tankers. This inspection typically includes sensory, physical, chemical, and microbiological tests. Samples are typically collected by opening the sealed lid (9) on the top of the tanker truck and then sent to a biochemical laboratory for testing. To ensure accuracy, sealed bottles containing raw milk samples must be delivered to the laboratory quickly to minimize environmental impact.
[0003] like Figure 8 As shown, the roof sealing cover 9 on top of the raw milk tanker is typically a double-layer sealing cover structure comprising an inner cover and an outer cover connected in an upper and lower manner. To facilitate quick opening and closing, the double-layer sealing cover structure generally uses an outer cover hingedly mounted on the top of the raw milk tanker via a hinged shaft arranged horizontally in the axial direction. The outer cover is compacted and sealed by a plum blossom locking nut 91 and a hinged locking bolt 92 hingedly mounted on the top of the raw milk tanker, which is reversible and snaps into the outer cover locking snap in the radial direction of the outer cover. The outer cover is also provided with a pull rod 93 for facilitating pulling the outer cover to rotate it open about the hinged shaft. Traditional raw milk sampling and sample delivery is typically performed manually. That is, the sampling personnel climb to the top of the raw milk tanker and manually open the roof sealing cover 9. Then, they use a scooping tool to sample the raw milk into a raw milk sample bottle. After the raw milk sample bottle is handed over to the sample delivery personnel for delivery, the roof sealing cover 9 is reset and sealed. Prior art has developed a sampling system for automatic sampling of milk tankers. This system controls a robot to open the roof sealing cover 9, then uses a robotic arm to grab a sampling rake for automatic sampling and filling. The rake is then placed in a cleaning tank for automatic cleaning to prevent cross contamination. In milk tanker automatic sampling systems, the filler is typically positioned to facilitate accurate positioning of the robotic arm. Sample bottles are typically transported and delivered via a belt conveyor, which typically only allows sample bottles to be arranged side by side in rows or columns. Consequently, the filler's input and output ports and the quantitative sampling cartridges on the sampling rake are typically arranged in rows or columns. This arrangement, on the one hand, results in relatively large side-by-side quantitative sampling cartridges, making it easy for the robotic arm to grasp the sampling rake and translate after sampling. Furthermore, this arrangement of fillers and the sampling rake, including the quantitative sampling cartridges, results in a relatively large filling tank and a cleaning tank for the sampling rake, making it difficult to rinse the fillers and rake after sampling.

[0044] After the milk tanker stops at the designated sampling station, the sampling confirmation procedure is carried out. The central processor can automatically take pictures and identify the vehicle license plate through the visual detection probe located in the front or rear of the milk tanker, and compare it with the information in the SAP system to determine the compliance of the transportation time. If an abnormal result occurs, an alarm will be automatically identified. After the alarm state, the inspection personnel can manually choose to stop / continue, or automatically execute stop / continue in different links according to the set program, and the data information is automatically saved and uploaded to the LIMS system; the central controller controls the actions of the movable crossbeam driving component 14 and the movable seat I driving component 17 (or the movable seat II driving component 18) respectively to enable the grabbing and stacking robot arm I 23 to locate the specific coordinate position of the roof sealing cover 9 through the pattern recognition sensor 25, and automatically determine whether the lead seal or lock of the roof sealing cover 9 is normal and the compliance of the vehicle body hygiene. If an abnormal result occurs, an alarm will be automatically identified. After the alarm state, the inspection personnel can choose to stop / continue, or automatically execute stop / continue in different links according to the set program; the data information is automatically saved and uploaded to the LIMS system;
[0045] After the sampling confirmation procedure, the automatic sampling procedure is carried out. The central controller first controls the roof sealing cover opening and closing robot arm 2 to automatically match the Bluetooth lock information and then open the Bluetooth lock of the roof sealing cover 9. Then the central controller controls the grabbing and stacking robot arm Ⅰ23 to dock and grab the rotary quick-change chuck 22 and move the coordinates to the top of the roof sealing cover 9. Then, the clamping claws of the rotary quick-change chuck 22 are controlled to firmly clamp the plum blossom locking nut 91 on the roof sealing cover 9. Then, the C coordinate driving assembly action of the rotary quick-change chuck 22 is controlled to loosen the plum blossom locking nut 91. Then, the hinged locking bolt 92 is pushed by coordinate translation to make it flip along the hinge center to make way for the outer cover locking bayonet of the roof sealing cover 9. Finally, the cover opening hook 26 is used to hook the pull rod 93 of the roof sealing cover 9, and the coordinate movement is used to make the roof sealing cover 9 flip open around its hinge axis, thus completing the opening of the roof sealing cover 9. At the same time, the data information is automatically saved and uploaded to the LIMS system.
[0046] After the central controller acquires an image of the surface of the raw milk in the tank through the pattern recognition sensor 25, the central controller controls the actions of the movable crossbeam driving component 14 and the movable seat II driving component 18 (or the movable seat I driving component 17) respectively to move the grabbing and stacking robot arm II of the sampling robot arm 3 to the position just above the flushing box 52, and docks the sampling rake 4 with the sampling rake quick-change joint 41 of the sampling rake 4 through the sampling rake quick-change connection structure 39 to achieve stable grabbing of the sampling rake 4. Then, the central controller controls the grabbing and stacking robot arm II of the sampling robot arm 3 to move to the position just above the tank mouth of the milk tanker, and controls the vertical up and down coordinate movement of the grabbing and stacking robot arm II to achieve the use of the salvage net 46 to salvage the raw milk fat on the surface of the raw milk in the tank. The pattern recognition sensor 25 collects images of the raw milk fat on the salvage net 46, and then checks the collected raw milk surface image and raw milk fat image with the built-in standard raw milk surface image and raw milk fat image for consistency, and uploads them to the LIMS system. The synchronous images are archived for 48 hours. The temperature sensor 45 on the sampling rake 4 can automatically measure the raw milk temperature during salvage, and upload the result to the LIMS system for comparison with the set raw milk detection temperature range. If there is an abnormality, the process can be terminated and the system will alarm. The data information is automatically saved and uploaded to the LIMS system; at the same time, the sample bottle files pre-entered into the LIMS system (empty sample bottles placed in the sample bottle cache part on the upper layer of the screw cap cache cabinet 7) are automatically identified as empty bottles;
[0047] After all the above steps meet the sampling requirements, on the one hand, the central controller controls the 6-coordinate movement of the bottle moving robot arm to make the grabbing and stacking robot grab the empty sample bottle from the sample bottle buffer part and send the empty sample bottle to the bottle clamping station of the sample bottle capping part. Then the central controller first controls the bottle clamping mechanism of the sample bottle opening and closing device to position the empty sample bottle, and then controls the capping mechanism to make the gripping claw of the capping robot lock the bottle cap of the empty sample bottle and then rotate in the opposite direction and lift it to the set height where the bottle cap is separated from the bottle body, thus completing the empty sample. The central controller first controls the bottle clamping mechanism of the sample bottle opening and closing device to reset, and then controls the coordinate movement of the bottle moving robot arm 6 to make the grabbing and stacking robot arm stack the opened empty sample bottles on the sample bottle holder 534 and wait for the next operation; on the other hand, the central controller controls the coordinate movement of the grabbing and stacking robot arm II to make the sampling rake 4 move vertically downward to the set sampling depth where the quantitative sampling cylinder 43 is immersed below the raw milk liquid surface, and at the same time controls the pressurized nitrogen to gush out through the bottom end of the stirring tube 422 to stir the raw milk, so that the raw milk enters the At the same time as the quantitative sampling cylinder 43 is put into the container, the heavy hammer sealing head 44 seals the bottom end of the quantitative sampling cylinder 43 under the action of its own gravity. Then the central controller first controls the coordinate movement of the grabbing and stacking mechanical arm II to make the sampling rake 4 move vertically upward to leave the tank mouth and then move the coordinate movement to just above the filling box 53. Then the grabbing and stacking mechanical arm II is controlled to move the coordinate movement to make the sampling rake 4 move vertically downward to the set position. After the above processes are completed, the central controller first controls the sample bottle holder driving mechanism 535 to move the sample bottle holder carrying the opened empty sample bottle. The rack 534 moves horizontally to the set position inside the filling box 53. At this time, the opened empty sample bottle is located just below the small end of the funnel component of the filler 533. The central controller then controls the coordinate movement of the grabbing and stacking robot arm II to make the sampling rake 4 continue to move vertically downward to the set position. During the downward movement of the sampling rake 4, the heavy hammer sealing head 44 touches the opening and closing structure of the plug of the filler 533 and becomes relatively stationary. The raw milk sample in the quantitative sampling cylinder 43 flows into the opened empty sample bottle through the funnel component of the filler 533 to complete the filling.
[0048] After the filling process is completed, the central controller controls the sample bottle holder drive mechanism 535 to reset so that the sample bottle holder 534 carrying the sample bottle containing the raw milk sample is moved to the set position outside the filling box 53, and then controls the coordinate movement of the grabbing and stacking robot arm II to make the sampling rake 4 move vertically upward to leave the filling box 53, and then move horizontally to the position just above the flushing box 52, and then move the coordinate to stack the sampling rake 4 on the hanger 522, and then the central controller controls the coordinate movement of the grabbing and stacking robot arm I23 to The roof sealing cover 9 is closed (the closing process of the roof sealing cover 9 is the reverse process of the opening process, which will not be described in detail here); at the same time, the central controller controls the liquid dispensing pump of the liquid dispensing box 51 to start the spray head I in the flushing box 52 and the spray head II in the filling box 53 to spray the flushing liquid (or disinfectant) to flush (or disinfect) the sampling rake 4 in the flushing box 52 and the filler 533 in the filling box 53, and the flushing waste liquid is discharged through the flushing waste liquid discharge channel I and the flushing waste liquid discharge channel II respectively; the roof sealing cover While the sampling rake 4 and the filler 533 are being closed and rinsed (or disinfected), the central controller controls the coordinate movement of the bottle transfer robot 6 so that the grabbing and stacking robot first grabs the sample bottle containing the raw milk sample on the sample bottle holder 534 and then stacks it on the bottle clamping station of the sample bottle capping part. The central controller then controls the bottle clamping mechanism of the sample bottle capping device to position the sample bottle containing the raw milk sample, and then controls the capping mechanism to move the capping robot, which is locking the bottle cap, downward by a set distance and rotate forward, thus completing the capping process of the sample bottle containing the raw milk sample. The central controller then controls the bottle clamping mechanism of the sample bottle capping device to reset, and then controls the coordinate movement of the bottle transfer robot 6 so that the grabbing and stacking robot stacks the closed sample bottle in the set area of the sample bottle buffer part of the capping buffer cabinet 7. The data information is automatically saved and uploaded to the LIMS system, thus completing the entire automatic sampling process. The operator can then deliver the sample bottle containing the raw milk sample to the laboratory.
[0049] In order to avoid interference between the sample bottle holder 534 and the sampling rake 4 during the process of entering and exiting the filling box 53, and to further achieve accurate positioning of the sample bottle, as a further improvement scheme of the present invention, the position of the sample bottle holder 534 corresponding to the salvage rod 42 is provided with a guide positioning groove that passes through the sample bottle holder 534 in the vertical direction, and the direction of the guide positioning groove is coordinated with the translation direction of the sample bottle holder 534. When the sample bottle holder 534 enters the filling box 53, the guide positioning groove can be clamped on the salvage rod 42, which not only avoids interference between the sample bottle holder 534 and the sampling rake 4, but also can achieve further accurate translation positioning of the sample bottle to the bottom of the small mouth end of the funnel component through the guide positioning groove.
[0050] In order to shorten the time between two automatic samplings and realize continuous automatic sampling, as a further improvement scheme of the present invention, a drying tube I and a drying tube II are respectively provided on the inner surface of the flushing box 52 and the inner surface of the filling box 53. The drying tube I and the drying tube II are respectively connected to the hot air source through a control valve, and a plurality of drying nozzles I and drying nozzles II are respectively provided on the drying tube I and the drying tube II. After flushing (or disinfecting) the sampling rake 4 and the filler 533, the control valve can be opened to allow the drying nozzles I and the drying nozzles II to blow out hot air to dry the sampling rake 4 and the filler 533, thereby realizing rapid drying of the sampling rake 4 and the filler 533. This can not only shorten the time between two automatic samplings and realize continuous automatic sampling, but also avoid cross contamination.
