Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap with improved off-flavor removal effects. More specifically, it relates to a meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap with improved off-flavor removal effects that hygienically cleans the meat for Gukbap used on-site and fully automates the frying process of the cleaned meat to enable integration with the packaging process. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, meat for gukbap is supplied as a cooking ingredient after raw meat, which has undergone a primary processing stage following slaughter, is cut into uniform sizes, and ensures hygiene through a washing process to remove large amounts of blood and impurities. This washing process is an essential step that goes beyond simple foreign matter removal to reduce the characteristic gamey odor of meat and maintain the product's taste, aroma, and quality stability. In particular, since various cuts are mixed for gukbap, it is difficult to maintain consistent product quality if the washing intensity and the circulation of the washing solution are not uniform across the different cuts. Therefore, the efficiency of the meat washing process is recognized as a critical factor determining the productivity and quality competitiveness of the entire gukbap manufacturing industry.

[0004] Recently, the food manufacturing industry has been accelerating the adoption of automation technologies to reduce labor costs and strengthen hygiene standards. Consequently, there are active attempts to automate a series of processes, including washing, cutting, weighing, and packaging; in particular, the automation of the washing process is attracting attention as a key technology for minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination and ensuring the continuity of production lines. However, existing automated washing systems are primarily composed of single-tank structures or simple rotary washing tanks, which have resulted in problems where contaminants on meat and odor reduction are not sufficiently achieved during the washing process. Furthermore, because residual washing water is not removed after washing, quality degradation due to excessive moisture frequently occurs during the freezing or packaging stages.

[0005] Furthermore, most conventional systems do not include a structure for dividing or distributing meat into uniform units, resulting in an uneven distribution of meat within the washing tank and an imbalance where only some meat receives sufficient washing. Due to these structural limitations, washing efficiency is reduced, and residual odors or viscous substances often remain after the process is completed. Some prior art attempts to ensure process continuity by combining a conveyor-based automatic transfer device with the washing tank; however, with only single-axis movement of the conveyor, it was difficult to make multi-faceted contact with the meat according to the flow of the washing liquid, and damage also occurred due to falling or collisions during the movement of the meat after washing.

[0006] Furthermore, since subsequent processes following washing, such as cutting, weighing, and pricing, were mostly performed manually or separated by equipment, issues of hygiene inconsistencies among workers and product non-uniformity persisted. In particular, there was a high risk of re-contamination when workers manually removed and transported washed meat or fed it directly into cutting machines; this acted as a factor contributing to increased production costs and quality instability within mass production systems. These issues are emerging as critical tasks for improvement in the current climate, where food safety regulations, such as HACCP standards, are being strengthened.

[0007] Due to the limitations of such existing technologies, there is a growing need for an integrated automation system that can perform the meat washing process in a more systematic and hygienic manner by dividing it into primary and secondary stages, and can continuously transfer the washed meat to the cutting, dispensing, weighing, and frying processes automatically. This system is expected to provide a technical foundation for reducing the risk of cross-contamination by minimizing operator intervention, increasing washing efficiency, and stably producing meat of uniform quality.

[0008] Therefore, the industry urgently needs the development of an integrated automatic cleaning system that can automatically control the entire process of meat cleaning, cutting, transfer, and frying on a single line, minimize interference between processes, and increase resource efficiency through the recovery and reuse of cleaning solution.

[0015] Fourth, the purpose is to prevent external contamination by minimizing manual intervention by workers, reduce quality deviations between processes, and simultaneously improve hygiene standards and production efficiency in mass production systems.

[0016] Fifth, by automatically controlling the movement, rotation, washing, and weighing operations of each process step through a control unit, the goal is to ensure the precision and repeatability of the entire process and realize the complete automation of the meat manufacturing process. means of solving the problem

[0018] A meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap with improved odor removal effect according to the present invention comprises: a first washing unit in which a washing solution for washing meat first is stored; a second washing unit in which a washing solution for washing meat washed in the first washing unit is stored; a washing basket formed to accommodate meat in individual units and to allow the inflow and drainage of washing solution during the washing process in the first washing unit and the second washing unit; and a transfer unit comprising an LM guide structure capable of moving in the XYZ direction while supporting the washing basket, for withdrawing the washing basket from the first washing unit and transferring it to the second washing unit.

[0019] Next, the primary washing unit may include a primary washing tank in which a washing solution is stored. The primary washing tank may be formed in a square shape in planar form. An inlet and an outlet for the circulation of the washing solution may be formed at the bottom. A support base on which a washing basket can be placed may be provided in the center of the interior. The primary washing unit is intended to feed meat into the primary washing tank and may further include an input section positioned at the top of the primary washing tank. The input section may include a supply chamber for accommodating a plurality of pieces of meat, a hopper provided at the bottom of the supply chamber, and an input port formed at the end of the hopper. The input section may be configured so that meat is supplied into the primary washing tank by gravity drop through the input port. The washing basket may be formed with a structure in which the top is completely open. A plurality of through holes are formed on the bottom and sides to allow for the free inflow and drainage of the washing solution. It can be detachably disposed on the support base of the first washing tank. The structure may be configured such that meat falling into the first washing tank sinks in the washing liquid and is received into the washing basket. The meat received in the washing basket may be washed by coming into multi-face contact with the washing liquid. The second washing unit may include a second washing tank in which the washing liquid is stored. The second washing tank may be installed adjacent to the first washing tank. The second washing tank may be formed in a U-shape in planar form, and an inlet and an outlet for the circulation of the washing liquid may be formed at the bottom. The washing basket transferred from the first washing unit may be transported along the U-shape, thereby performing the second washing.The above-described transfer unit is characterized by withdrawing the washing basket from the first washing tank and transferring it to one end of the C-shape of the second washing tank, passing along the C-shape, and exiting through the other end, and setting a path so that the washing basket is lowered to a predetermined height in the Z direction at the other end of the second washing tank and transferred across the first washing tank from above the first washing tank, thereby recovering the washing liquid remaining in the meat contained in the washing basket and transferring it to the first washing tank.

[0020] Next, the support base of the primary washing unit may be provided in a planar grid shape in multiple units so that the washing baskets can be arranged in a cell form. The washing baskets may be mounted in a detachable manner in each cell of the support base. The transfer unit may further include a cover portion attached to the upper part of the washing basket to prevent the meat contained in the washing basket from escaping during the washing process. The cover portion may be formed with a structure in which the lower part is completely open. Multiple through holes are formed on the upper surface and side so that the inflow and drainage of the washing liquid can be freely carried out. Protruding pins formed by extending in the Z direction may be provided at four points on the corners of the completely open part of the cover portion. A single rotating pin may be provided by extending parallel to the protruding pins through the closed upper center. Receiving grooves into which the protruding pins are inserted may be provided at four points on the corners of the completely open part of the washing basket. A fastening groove is provided in the closed lower center of the washing basket to which the rotating pin is fastened, so that the cover portion descends in the Z direction from above the washing basket by the LM guide structure, allowing the protruding pin to be received in the receiving groove. The rotating pin can be fastened to the fastening groove and the washing basket can be integrally coupled with the cover portion so that the washing basket is transported by the LM guide structure. A cutting blade for cutting meat is provided at the edge of the fully open portion of the washing basket and the cover portion, respectively, so that as the cover portion is coupled to the washing basket, the meat extending across the edge of the fully open portion of the washing basket is cut by the cutting blade. The transport unit may further include a rotary drive unit for driving the rotating pin.The rotary drive unit is coupled to the LM guide structure and rotates a rotating pin coupled to the cover unit during the cleaning process to rotate the cleaning basket. The LM guide structure can be controlled to sequentially withdraw one of the cleaning baskets arranged on the support base and continuously transfer it in a cell-by-cell manner to the C-shaped cleaning tank of the secondary cleaning unit. The withdrawal, transfer, and rotation operations can be configured to be repeated according to the process sequence. After primary cleaning with a cleaning liquid is performed in the primary cleaning unit, the LM guide structure included in the transfer unit withdraws the cleaning basket attached to the cover unit and transfers it to the C-shaped cleaning tank of the secondary cleaning unit, and secondary cleaning is performed within the secondary cleaning unit by repeatedly rotating and moving up and down according to the driving of the LM guide structure and the rotary drive unit.

[0021] Next, the cover portion may contain a scraper for uniformly distributing the meat fed into the primary washing tank by the input portion into each washing basket arranged in a cell shape. The scraper may be composed of a column portion and a wing portion. The column portion may be formed in a shape that can be stored inside the rotating pin. The wing portion may be formed to extend radially from the outer surface of the column portion. A spring is coupled to the base of the wing portion, so that it can unfold in a direction perpendicular (90°) to the column portion by the spring restoring force from the outside of the column portion. When stored inside the column portion, the spring is compressed, and it may be configured to fold in a straight line (0°) with the column portion. The meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap with improved off-flavor removal effect may further include a control unit for controlling the operation of the LM guide structure, the rotary drive unit, and the scraper. The control unit may include a movement control unit for controlling the position of the LM guide, a rotation control unit for controlling the rotation drive unit, and a storage control unit for controlling the operation of withdrawing and storing the scraper within the rotation pin. The control unit may be configured to provide control signals to each control unit according to the operating sequence to perform the following operation. When the storage control unit provides a withdrawal signal, the column portion of the scraper may be withdrawn from inside the rotation pin. The wing portion unfolds in a perpendicular direction by the spring restoring force to form a ready state, and when the movement control unit provides a descent signal, the cover portion descends to a predetermined height above the washing basket, so that the scraper may be positioned in a rotatable position above the washing basket. When the rotation control unit provides a drive signal, the cover portion to which the scraper is connected may rotate by the rotation drive unit. As the wing portion rotates on the upper part of the washing basket in a circular orbit, it may induce the fallen meat to be evenly distributed into each washing basket.The storage control unit provides a storage signal so that the column portion of the scraper can return to the inside of the rotating pin. The wing portion can be folded in a straight line with the column portion by spring compression force and completely stored inside. With the washing basket fixed by the support base, primary washing can be performed by the circulation of the washing liquid contained in the primary washing tank. When a predetermined primary washing time has elapsed, the movement control unit provides an additional lowering signal so that the cover portion can be attached to the washing basket. After attachment, the integrated cover portion and washing basket are withdrawn sequentially according to the rising signal of the movement control unit, and can be transported along the U-shaped washing tank of the secondary washing unit according to the XY direction transfer signal of the movement control unit. In the secondary washing unit, secondary washing can be performed as the washing basket repeatedly rotates and moves up and down according to the repetition signals of the movement control unit and the rotation control unit. The above control unit can sequentially control the washing baskets in cell units through the above movement control unit. It is characterized by continuous control so that the washing baskets perform withdrawal, transfer, washing, and dehydration operations in sequence according to the process order.

[0022] Next, the control unit may further include a dehydration control unit for controlling the dehydration process of the washing basket that has passed through the secondary washing unit. The dehydration control unit is linked with the movement control unit and the rotation control unit, and is configured to control the rotation speed and time from the point when the washing basket finishes washing along the U-shape of the secondary washing unit, is raised to a predetermined height to exit the secondary washing tank, passes through the other end of the U-shape, and enters the upper part of the primary washing tank, thereby dehydrating the washing liquid remaining in the washing basket by centrifugal force, and the dehydrated washing liquid is recovered to the primary washing tank by gravity for reuse. A weighing sensor for weighing the meat contained in the washing basket after the dehydration process is completed may be embedded in the cover unit. The weighing sensor may be provided on the upper part of the rotation pin. The control unit may further include a pricing control unit for performing a pricing operation using weight information measured through the weighing sensor. The pricing control unit may receive weight data from the weighing sensor, analyze the weight of the meat in cell units, and calculate pricing data. The pricing data is characterized by being output to be transmitted to a subsequent packaging process. Effects of the invention

[0024] According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

[0025] First, since the meat is separated into individual units for cleaning, the surface of each unit comes into uniform contact with the cleaning solution, improving the efficiency of removing blood and impurities and fundamentally suppressing the occurrence of off-flavors.

[0026] Second, through a stepwise cleaning structure composed of primary and secondary cleaning units, the cleaning effect can be maximized, and at the same time, the cleaning solution dehydrated after secondary cleaning is recovered into the primary cleaning tank, thereby saving cleaning water and increasing work efficiency.

[0027] Third, as each machine element, such as the scraper, cover, cutting blade, and rotary pin, operates in conjunction with the control unit, the processes of meat distribution, cutting, washing, and frying are performed automatically, enabling a continuous process without human intervention.

[0028] Fourth, since the control unit sequentially performs movement, rotation, and storage control to automatically manage the process of each cleaning basket, the processing speed and uniformity of quality of the meat can be simultaneously ensured.

[0029] Fifth, by automatically analyzing the weight of the cleaned meat through the pricing control unit and weighing sensors, it can be directly linked to the subsequent packaging process, enabling the complete automation of the entire meat manufacturing line.

[0030] Consequently, the present invention provides a substantial industrial effect that can simultaneously ensure hygiene and productivity by automating all processes from the washing to the packaging of meat for Gukbap. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0056] A meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap with improved odor removal effect according to the present invention comprises: a first washing unit (100) in which a washing solution for washing meat first is stored; a second washing unit (200) in which a washing solution for washing meat washed in the first washing unit (100) is stored; a washing basket (300) formed to accommodate meat in individual units and to allow the inflow and drainage of washing solution during the washing process in the first washing unit (100) and the second washing unit (200); and a transfer unit comprising an LM guide structure capable of moving in the XYZ direction while supporting the washing basket (300), thereby withdrawing the washing basket (300) from the first washing unit (100) and transferring it to the second washing unit (200).

[0058] Next, the primary washing unit (100) may include a primary washing tank (110) in which a washing solution is stored.

[0059] The above first washing tank (110) may be formed in a square shape on a flat surface.

[0060] An inlet and an outlet for the circulation of cleaning fluid may be formed in the lower part.

[0061] A support base (120) on which a washing basket (300) can be seated may be provided in the center of the interior.

[0062] The above primary washing unit (100) is for introducing meat into the above primary washing tank (110) and may further include an input section disposed at the top of the above primary washing tank (110).

[0063] The above input section may include a supply chamber for accommodating a plurality of meats, a hopper provided at the bottom of the supply chamber, and an input port formed at the end of the hopper.

[0064] The above input section may be configured so that meat is supplied into the primary washing tank (110) by gravity drop through the above input port.

[0065] The washing basket (300) above may be structured with a completely open top.

[0066] Multiple through holes are formed on the bottom and sides so that the cleaning solution can be freely introduced and drained.

[0067] It can be detachably placed on the support base (120) of the above primary washing tank (110).

[0068] The meat that falls into the first washing tank (110) can be structured to sink in the washing liquid and be received into the washing basket (300).

[0069] The meat contained in the washing basket (300) can be washed by coming into contact with the washing liquid.

[0070] The above secondary washing unit (200) may include a secondary washing tank (210) in which a washing solution is stored.

[0071] The above secondary washing tank (210) may be installed adjacent to the above primary washing tank (110).

[0072] The above secondary washing tank (210) is formed in a planar U-shape, and an inlet and an outlet for the circulation of washing liquid may be formed at the bottom.

[0073] A second cleaning can be performed as the cleaning basket (300) transferred from the first cleaning unit (100) is transferred along a U-shape.

[0074] The above transfer unit is characterized by withdrawing the washing basket (300) from the first washing tank (110) and transferring it to enter one end of the C-shape of the second washing tank (210), passing along the C-shape, and exiting through the other end, and setting a path so that the washing basket (300) is raised to a predetermined height in the Z direction at the other end of the second washing tank (210) and transferred across the first washing tank (110) from above the first washing tank (110), so that the washing liquid remaining in the meat contained in the washing basket (300) is recovered and transferred to the first washing tank (110).

[0075] The meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap with improved off-flavor removal effect according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to automatically perform washing, conveying, secondary washing, and frying processes. In this embodiment, the shape, material, and operating method of each component are described in detail.

[0076] The system of the present invention is largely composed of a primary washing unit (100), a secondary washing unit (200), a washing basket (300), and a transfer unit including an LM guide structure movable in the XYZ direction.

[0077] The first washing unit (100) is responsible for the initial washing of meat for soup, and the second washing unit (200) performs the removal of residual impurities and hygienic washing. The washing basket (300) accommodates meat in individual units to increase the efficiency of contact with the washing liquid, and the transfer unit automatically transfers the washing basket (300) between each process through an LM guide structure.

[0078] The primary washing unit (100) includes a primary washing tank (110) for holding meat, and the washing tank is made of stainless steel (SUS304) material with excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. The planar shape of the washing tank is square, and the length of one side can be formed to be approximately 1,000 mm, and the depth is set to approximately 600 mm to secure sufficient liquid circulation space during washing. An inlet and an outlet for circulating the washing liquid are formed at the bottom of the washing tank, and a circulation pump is connected to the inlet so that the washing liquid flows continuously and forms bubbles or fine vortices to improve the washing power.

[0079] A support base (120) is installed in the center of the inside of the washing tank to stably support the washing basket (300). The support base (120) is made of a horizontal plate structure, and a stopper is formed on the upper surface to fix the position of the basket. This support base (120) is a detachable structure and is configured to facilitate maintenance.

[0080] An input section for automatically supplying meat is installed at the top of the primary washing unit (100). The input section consists of a supply chamber capable of temporarily storing a plurality of meats, a hopper formed at the bottom thereof, and an input port provided at the bottom of the hopper. The capacity of the supply chamber can accommodate approximately 10 to 20 kg of meat, and the meat is naturally fed into the primary washing tank (110) through the input port by gravity drop. The hopper has an inclined surface inside to prevent the meat from shifting to one side, and an openable gate valve for controlling the amount fed may be provided.

[0081] The washing basket (300) has a structure with a completely open top and can be formed in a circular or square shape. Multiple through holes with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm are arranged on the sides and bottom of the basket to facilitate the inflow and drainage of the washing liquid. The material of the basket may be composed of a polypropylene (PP) reinforced fiber composite material or stainless steel that is resistant to corrosion and deformation. The size of the basket is approximately 150 to 200 mm on each side and approximately 120 mm in depth, making it suitable for holding a piece of meat.

[0082] Meat that falls into the first washing tank (110) is floated by the washing liquid and then gradually sinks into the washing basket (300). Inside the washing basket (300), the meat is naturally rotated or vibrated by the circulating flow of the washing liquid, thereby removing surface contaminants. The washing process can be performed for about 1 to 3 minutes, and after washing, the washing liquid is circulated through the outlet or supplied to a filtration device for reuse.

[0083] The second washing unit (200) is installed adjacent to the first washing unit (100), and the washing tank is configured in a planar U-shape. Each section of the U-shape is designed to include washing, rinsing, and draining steps along a transfer path. An inlet and an outlet for circulating the washing liquid are formed in the lower part of the washing tank, and a microbubble generating device is coupled to the inlet to improve cleaning power through fine air bubbles.

[0084] The transfer unit uses an LM guide structure to withdraw the washing basket (300) from the first washing unit (100) and then introduces it into one end of the C-shaped washing tank of the second washing unit (200). The LM guide includes a linear motor and a ball screw, and the movement of the basket in the XYZ directions is precisely controlled. The washing basket (300) moves sequentially along the C-shaped path, and washing, rinsing, and drainage are performed in sequence in each section.

[0085] The washing basket (300), after the second washing is completed, is raised from the other end of the U-shaped washing tank, and at this time, the Z-axis module of the LM guide structure operates to lift the basket to a predetermined height. Afterwards, the basket moves across the top of the first washing tank (110), and residual washing water is removed by centrifugal force during movement. The dehydrated washing water is recovered to the first washing tank (110) and reused.

[0086] With this configuration, the system of the present embodiment automatically performs the first and second washing processes for meat for gukbap, and the transfer between each washing stage is continuous, significantly improving work efficiency. In addition, hygiene and economic efficiency can be simultaneously ensured through the washing water recovery structure.

[0088] Next, the support base (120) of the first washing unit (100) may be provided in a planar grid shape so that a plurality of washing baskets (300) can be arranged in a cell shape.

[0089] The washing basket (300) can be mounted in a detachable manner to each cell of the support base (120).

[0090] The above transfer unit may further include a cover portion (420) which is fastened to the upper part of the washing basket (300) to prevent the meat contained in the washing basket (300) from escaping during the washing process.

[0091] The above cover portion (420) may be structured with a completely open bottom.

[0092] Multiple through holes are formed on the upper surface and side surface so that the inflow and drainage of the cleaning solution can be freely carried out.

[0093] At four corner points of the fully open portion of the cover portion (420), protruding pins (421) formed by extending in the Z direction may be provided. One rotating pin (422) formed by extending through the closed upper center and parallel to the protruding pins (421) may be provided.

[0094] At four corner points of the fully open portion of the washing basket (300), receiving grooves (311) into which the protruding pin (421) is inserted may be provided.

[0095] A fastening groove is provided in the closed lower center of the washing basket (300) to which the rotating pin (422) is fastened, so that the cover part (420) descends in the Z direction from above the washing basket (300) by the LM guide structure, and the protruding pin (421) can be received in the receiving groove (311). The rotating pin (422) is fastened to the fastening groove, so that the washing basket (300) can be integrally coupled with the cover part (420) so that it is transported by the LM guide structure.

[0096] A cutting blade (320) for cutting meat is provided at the edge of the fully open portion of the washing basket (300) and the cover portion (420), respectively, so that when the cover portion (420) is coupled to the washing basket (300), the meat extending across the edge of the fully open portion of the washing basket (300) can be cut by the cutting blade (320).

[0097] The above transfer unit may further include a rotary drive unit for driving the rotary pin (422).

[0098] The above rotary drive unit is coupled to the above LM guide structure and rotates the cleaning basket (300) by rotating the rotating pin (422) coupled to the above cover part (420) during the cleaning process, and the above LM guide structure can be controlled to sequentially withdraw one of the cleaning baskets (300) arranged on the support base (120) and continuously transfer them in a cell-by-cell manner to the C-shaped cleaning tank of the above secondary cleaning unit (200). The withdrawal, transfer, and rotation operations can be configured to be repeated according to the process sequence.

[0099] After a first cleaning with a cleaning solution is performed in the first cleaning unit (100), the LM guide structure included in the transfer unit pulls out the cleaning basket (300) attached to the cover part (420) and transfers it to the C-shaped cleaning tank of the second cleaning unit (200), and a second cleaning is performed within the second cleaning unit (200) by repeatedly rotating and moving up and down according to the driving of the LM guide structure and the rotary drive unit.

[0100] A meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a support base (120) structure capable of arranging washing baskets (300) in a cell form to improve washing efficiency, a cover part (420) that prevents meat from escaping during washing and performs a cutting function, and a conveying unit that rotates and conveys the washing baskets (300).

[0101] The support base (120) of the primary washing unit (100) is installed on the inner bottom surface of the primary washing tank (110) and is formed in a planar grid structure so that a plurality of washing baskets (300) can be arranged at regular intervals.

[0102] The grid structure is formed by welding vertical and horizontal frames onto a stainless steel plate so that they intersect at regular intervals (about 200 mm), and each grid space forms a cell to accommodate a washing basket (300).

[0103] On the upper surface of the support base (120), a circular or square stopper is formed to secure the basket in an accurate position, and the height of the stopper is set to approximately 10 mm to prevent the basket from coming off due to vibration during cleaning.

[0104] The washing basket (300) has a structure in which the top is completely open, just like the structure described above, and a fastening groove for fastening a rotating pin (422) is formed in the center of the bottom.

[0105] The basket can be attached and detached by fitting it into each cell of the support base (120), and in addition to the through hole for draining the washing water, a fine passage through which air bubbles can pass is additionally formed on the bottom surface to enhance the stirring effect of the washing liquid.

[0106] In order to prevent meat from popping out of the basket or moving during the washing process, a cover part (420) is installed on the upper part of the washing basket (300).

[0107] The cover portion (420) is formed as a box-shaped structure with a completely open bottom, and multiple through holes with a diameter of 4 to 6 mm are formed on the top and sides so that the inflow and drainage of cleaning liquid can be freely achieved.

[0108] The cover portion (420) can be made of stainless steel (SUS304) or reinforced plastic (PPS, polyphenylene sulfide) for food safety and durability.

[0109] At each of the four points on the lower corner of the cover part (420), protruding pins (421) extending in the Z direction are formed, and these protruding pins (421) are accurately inserted into the receiving groove (311) provided on the upper corner of the washing basket (300) so that the cover is joined without shaking.

[0110] Additionally, a rotating pin (422) is formed through the upper center of the cover portion (420) and arranged parallel to the protruding pin (421), and by connecting this rotating pin (422) to the fastening groove at the bottom of the washing basket (300), the cover portion (420) and the washing basket (300) are connected as a single integrated structure.

[0111] With this structure, the washing basket (300) and the cover part (420) can rotate and move up and down simultaneously, and do not separate during washing.

[0112] A sharp cutting blade (320) is positioned at the lower edge of the cover portion (420), and is configured to cut meat across the top of the basket during the process of the cover portion (420) being attached to the washing basket (300).

[0113] The cutting blade (320) is mounted in a detachable manner so that it can be easily replaced after cleaning, and can be made of stainless steel or hard aluminum alloy. The thickness of the cutting blade (320) is set to about 1 mm, and the cutting angle is set to about 30°.

[0114] The connection between the washing basket (300) and the cover part (420) is performed by the LM guide structure of the transfer unit.

[0115] The LM guide consists of a linear guide rail installed on a fixed frame, an LM block, a ball screw shaft, and a servo motor, and enables precise position control in three directions: XYZ.

[0116] According to the control signal of the transfer unit, the cover part (420) moves to the upper part of the washing basket (300) and then descends in the Z direction, so that the protruding pin (421) is accurately fitted into the receiving groove (311) and the rotating pin (422) is fixed in the fastening groove.

[0117] Once the assembly is complete, the LM guide structure pulls out the cover part (420) and the cleaning basket (300) as a single unit, and then moves them in the XY direction to transfer them to the secondary cleaning unit (200).

[0118] The transfer unit additionally includes a rotary drive unit, which drives the rotary pin (422) of the cover part (420) during washing to rotate the washing basket (300).

[0119] The rotary drive unit consists of a servo motor, a reduction gear, and a coupling, and is directly coupled to the block of the LM guide. The rotational speed is controlled within the range of 20 to 60 rpm per minute, and as the meat comes into repeated contact with the cleaning solution during rotation, cleaning efficiency is maximized.

[0120] The LM guide structure sequentially extracts one of the plurality of washing baskets (300) arranged on the support base (120) according to a signal from the control unit (600) and continuously transfers them in cell units.

[0121] In other words, process continuity is maintained in such a way that when a washed basket is withdrawn, the next basket located in the adjacent cell begins the washing process.

[0122] The withdrawal, transfer, and rotation operations of each basket are repeated sequentially by program control, and the entire system is set so that cell-unit washing and transfer cycle at 1-minute intervals.

[0123] Accordingly, according to the present embodiment, each washing basket (300) is efficiently washed in an independent cell and then automatically transferred, and through the joining and cutting functions of the cover part (420), is connected to a second washing process while maintaining a uniform size and hygienic condition.

[0124] This enables hygienic and efficient cleaning and transport without workers having to handle individual pieces of meat directly.

[0126] Next, the cover portion (420) may have a scraper (500) built in to evenly distribute the meat fed into the primary washing tank (110) by the input portion into each of the washing baskets (300) arranged in a cell shape.

[0127] The scraper (500) may be composed of a column portion (510) and a wing portion (520).

[0128] The above column portion (510) can be formed in a shape that can be accommodated inside the rotating pin (422).

[0129] The wing portion (520) may be formed to extend radially from the outer surface of the column portion (510).

[0130] A spring (530) is attached to the base of the wing portion (520), so that it can be unfolded in a direction perpendicular (90°) to the column portion (510) by the restoring force of the spring (530) on the outside of the column portion (510).

[0131] When stored inside the column portion (510), the spring (530) is compressed and can be configured to fold in a straight line (0°) with the column portion (510).

[0132] The above-mentioned meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap with improved odor removal effect may further include a control unit (600) for controlling the operation of the above-mentioned LM guide structure, the above-mentioned rotary drive unit, and the above-mentioned scraper (500).

[0133] The control unit (600) may include a movement control unit (610) for controlling the position of the LM guide, a rotation control unit (620) for controlling the rotation drive unit, and a storage control unit (630) for controlling the operation of withdrawing and storing the scraper (500) within the rotation pin (422).

[0134] The above control unit (600) may be configured to provide a control signal to each control unit according to the operating sequence to perform the following operation.

[0135] When the storage control unit (630) provides a withdrawal signal, the column portion (510) of the scraper (500) can be withdrawn from inside the rotating pin (422). The wing portion (520) is deployed in a perpendicular direction by the restoring force of the spring (530) to form a ready state, and when the movement control unit (610) provides a lowering signal, the cover portion (420) is lowered to a predetermined height above the washing basket (300), so that the scraper (500) can be positioned in a rotatable position above the washing basket (300).

[0136] When the rotation control unit (620) provides a driving signal, the cover unit (420) to which the scraper (500) is connected can rotate by the rotation drive unit. The wing unit (520) can rotate the upper part of the washing basket (300) in a circular orbit to guide the fallen meat to be evenly distributed to each washing basket (300).

[0137] The storage control unit (630) provides a storage signal, allowing the column portion (510) of the scraper (500) to return to the inside of the rotating pin (422). The wing portion (520) can be folded in a straight line with the column portion (510) by the compression force of the spring (530) and completely stored inside.

[0138] The above washing basket (300) can be fixed by the support base (120) and the first washing can be performed by the circulation of the washing liquid contained in the first washing tank (110).

[0139] The above movement control unit (610) provides an additional lowering signal when a predetermined first washing time has elapsed, so that the cover unit (420) can be attached to the washing basket (300).

[0140] After attachment, the integrated cover part (420) and the washing basket (300) are withdrawn in sequence according to the rising signal of the movement control unit (610), and can be transported along the U-shaped washing tank of the secondary washing unit (200) according to the XY direction transport signal of the movement control unit (610).

[0141] In the above secondary washing unit (200), secondary washing can be performed by the washing basket (300) repeatedly rotating and moving up and down according to the repetition signals of the movement control unit (610) and the rotation control unit (620).

[0142] The control unit (600) can sequentially control the washing baskets (300) in cell units through the movement control unit (610). The washing baskets (300) are continuously controlled to perform withdrawal, transfer, washing, and dehydration operations in sequence according to the process order.

[0143] A meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a scraper (500) structure for uniformly distributing the input meat into washing baskets (300) and a control unit (600) for driving and controlling it. In this embodiment, the structural configuration, operating principle, control flow, and interaction between each control unit of the scraper (500) will be described in detail.

[0144] A rotating pin (422) is formed at the upper center of the cover portion (420), and a scraper (500) is housed inside the rotating pin (422). The scraper (500) consists of a column portion (510) and a wing portion (520), and the column portion (510) is formed in a cylindrical shape so as to almost match the inner diameter of the rotating pin (422). The material of the column portion (510) may be stainless steel (SUS303) or aluminum alloy (Al6061) which has excellent strength and resilience. The length of the column portion (510) is set to approximately 150 mm, and the diameter to approximately 20 mm, and the wing portion (520) is attached to the bottom.

[0145] The wing portion (520) is formed to protrude radially from the outer surface of the column portion (510), and the length of the wing is approximately 60 mm and the width is approximately 10 mm. The wing portion (520) is formed in a curved blade shape for the efficiency of meat distribution, and is made of polyacetal (POM) or elastic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance. A torsion spring (530) is inserted into the base portion of the wing portion (520), and the spring (530) provides a restoring force that pushes the wing portion (520) outward while fixed in the inner groove of the column portion (510).

[0146] When the scraper (500) is switched to an operation-ready state, the wing portion (520) is unfolded to a state where it is perpendicular (90°) to the column portion (510) by the restoring force of the spring (530). Conversely, when stored, the spring (530) is compressed by the operation of the storage control unit (630) acting from the outside, and the wing portion (520) is folded to a state where it is in a straight line (0°) with the column portion (510) and completely enters the inside of the rotating pin (422).

[0147] This structure maintains a tolerance (about ±0.2 mm) so that the scraper (500) can be fully inserted into the rotating pin (422) in the actual machine design, and ensures the durability and repeatability of the device.

[0148] The control unit (600) of this embodiment is composed of a movement control unit (610), a rotation control unit (620), and a storage control unit (630), each responsible for position control of the LM guide, motion control of the rotation drive unit, and the withdrawal and storage operation of the scraper (500).

[0149] The control unit (600) is configured based on a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and each control unit exchanges signals with each other via RS485 communication or a CAN bus.

[0150] The order of operation is as follows.

[0151] First, when the storage control unit (630) transmits a withdrawal signal, the electric cylinder located inside the rotating pin (422) is driven to advance the column part (510) by about 50 mm. When the column part (510) is withdrawn, the internal torsion spring (530) generates a restoring force, causing the wing part (520) to spread out in a right-angle direction, and this state becomes the meat distribution preparation stage.

[0152] Next, when the movement control unit (610) outputs a downward signal, the cover unit (420) descends along the Z-axis of the LM guide, and the scraper (500) approaches the upper space of the washing basket (300). The descending position is set to about 30 mm above the top of the washing basket (300) so that the blades of the scraper (500) do not come into direct contact with the meat and form an induced flow.

[0153] Then, when the rotation control unit (620) provides a driving signal, the servo motor of the rotation drive unit rotates the rotation pin (422) clockwise. The rotation speed is adjusted to about 30 to 50 rpm per minute, and as the wing portion (520) of the scraper (500) rotates, the meat is evenly distributed into each cell-shaped washing basket (300) along a circular flow.

[0154] When the meat distribution is completed, the storage control unit (630) sends a storage signal again, and at this time, the electric cylinder operates in the reverse direction to return the column part (510) into the rotating pin (422). At the same time, the spring (530) is compressed, and the wing part (520) is aligned with the column part (510) and completely stored.

[0155] After the distribution of meat is completed, a first wash is performed in the first wash tank (110) by the circulation of the wash solution. During this process, the wash basket (300) is maintained in a fixed state by the support base (120), and contaminants are removed by the flow of the wash solution alone without external stirring.

[0156] When the first washing is completed, the movement control unit (610) generates an additional lowering signal to completely attach the cover unit (420) to the washing basket (300). When attached, the protruding pin (421) of the cover unit (420) is completely seated in the receiving groove (311), and the rotating pin (422) is inserted into the attachment groove so that the cover unit (420) and the basket are integrally joined.

[0157] After attachment, the cover unit (420) and the washing basket (300) are pulled out together according to the rising signal of the movement control unit (610) and move in the XY direction to enter the U-shaped washing tank of the secondary washing unit (200).

[0158] In the second washing stage, the rotation control unit (620) and the movement control unit (610) alternately output a repeating signal, causing the washing basket (300) to repeatedly rotate and move up and down. The rotation is about 20 rpm per minute, and the up and down movement is reciprocated within a range of about 30 mm, and during this process, the washing liquid acts evenly on the meat inside the washing basket (300).

[0159] The control unit (600) moves the washing basket (300) sequentially in cell units through motion control of the LM guide. Each washing basket (300) automatically performs the entire process of first washing, transfer, second washing, and dehydration, and the baskets in adjacent cells are switched to the next stage at regular time intervals (about 10 seconds).

[0160] Therefore, the entire system maintains a continuous cyclic operation, and the washing, transfer, and distribution of meat proceed automatically without operator intervention.

[0161] Through this structure, the system of the present embodiment automates the washing process of meat for gukbap, enabling uniform distribution and hygienic processing, and can significantly reduce the possibility of contamination that occurred in manual processes.

[0163] Next, the control unit (600) may further include a dewatering control unit (640) for controlling the dewatering process of the washing basket (300) that has passed through the secondary washing unit (200).

[0164] The above dehydration control unit (640) is linked with the movement control unit (610) and the rotation control unit (620), and by controlling the rotation speed and time from the point when the washing basket (300) finishes washing along the C-shape of the secondary washing unit (200), is raised to a predetermined height so that the washing basket (300) exits the secondary washing tank (210), passes through the other end of the C-shape, and enters the upper part of the primary washing tank (110), the washing liquid remaining in the washing basket (300) is dehydrated by centrifugal force, and the dehydrated washing liquid is recovered to the primary washing tank (110) by gravity and reused.

[0165] The above cover portion (420) may have a weighing sensor built in to weigh the meat contained in the washing basket (300) after the dehydration process is completed.

[0166] The above metering sensor may be provided on the upper part of the rotating pin (422).

[0167] The above control unit (600) may further include a pricing control unit (650) for performing a pricing operation using weight information measured through the weighing sensor.

[0168] The above pricing control unit (650) can receive weight data from the weighing sensor, analyze the weight of the meat in cell units, and calculate pricing data. The pricing data is characterized by being output so as to be transmitted to a subsequent packaging process.

[0169] A meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap according to another embodiment of the present invention is configured to perform centrifugal dehydration on a washing basket (300) that has completed secondary washing, and then automatically weigh the meat and transmit the data to a subsequent process, such as a pricing and packaging system.

[0170] In this embodiment, the flow of control signals and the mechanical operating principles are specifically explained, focusing on the dehydration control unit (640), the weighing sensor, and the pricing control unit (650).

[0171] The washing basket (300) that has passed through the second washing unit (200) automatically enters the dehydration process as it exits the C-shaped washing tank. At this time, the washing basket (300) is raised to the upper part of the washing tank by the Z-axis drive of the LM guide by approximately 300 to 400 mm, and the height is set considering the prevention of splashing of the washing liquid and gravity recovery.

[0172] In the raised state, the dehydration control unit (640) of the control unit (600) is activated, and the operation of the movement control unit (610) and the rotation control unit (620) is synchronized. The servo motor of the rotation drive unit rotates the rotation pin (422) at high speed, and at this time, the rotation speed is controlled within the range of 300 to 600 rpm per minute.

[0173] During rotation, the meat inside the washing basket (300) is fixed at the center of the rotation, and the washing liquid is discharged outward by centrifugal force through the side opening of the basket. The discharged washing liquid flows along the guide plate at the bottom of the dehydration section and falls into the first washing tank (110). In this process, a semicircular transparent protective cover (made of polycarbonate) is installed around the dehydration area to prevent washing water from splashing outward.

[0174] The rotation time is set to approximately 5 to 10 seconds, and the dehydration control unit (640) controls the rotation speed and time in real time so that the residual amount of the cleaning solution is 2% or less.

[0175] When the dehydration process is finished, the LM guide structure stops rotating and maintains the washing basket (300) at a certain height, and the metering sensor built into the upper part of the cover (420) operates.

[0176] The weighing sensor is configured as a load cell and is embedded in the upper central part of the rotating pin (422) to detect the total weight of the washing basket (300).

[0177] The load cell has a rated capacity of about 20 kg, a sensitivity of 2 mV / V, and is designed with an accuracy of ±0.05% or less.

[0178] The measured weight is transmitted to the CPU of the control unit (600), and the net weight of the meat alone is automatically calculated by an internal algorithm. (The empty weight of the washing basket (300) and the cover part (420) is corrected using pre-stored data.)

[0179] Such metering data is transmitted to the pricing control unit (650) inside the control unit (600).

[0180] The pricing control unit (650) calculates the weight of meat in cell units based on the measured weight value, automatically classifies it according to standard specifications (e.g., 100g, 150g, etc.), and generates the information as pricing data.

[0181] The pricing data includes items such as the washing basket (300) identification number (ID), weight value, time information, and line number, and is transmitted to a subsequent automatic packaging process device via RS232 or Ethernet communication.

[0182] For example, if the weighing result of cell 1 of the washing basket (300) is measured as 148g, the pricing control unit (650) classifies it as “150g class”, and the basket is processed into a product of the same class in the automatic packaging line.

[0183] In addition, the pricing control unit (650) stores the processing history of each cell in an accumulated database for production history management. This data can be monitored in real time on an HMI (touch panel) and can be used for production line quality control and process improvement.

[0184] The operation of the dehydration control unit (640) and the pricing control unit (650) is fully automated, so the operator does not need to intervene in the process except to put meat into the washing tank.

[0185] Through this structure, the system of the present embodiment can simultaneously ensure production efficiency and hygienic safety by integrating the dehydration, metering, and pricing steps after secondary washing into a single continuous process.

[0186] Consequently, the system according to the present embodiment

[0187] (1) Reduce cleaning costs by reusing the cleaning solution, and

[0188] (2) Supports the automation of subsequent packaging processes through automatic weighing and pricing data output, and

[0189] (3) It has the effect of reducing the risk of cross-contamination by minimizing manual intervention by workers.

[0190] Accordingly, the present invention provides a feasible technical configuration that can simultaneously achieve improved productivity and uniformity of hygienic quality by fully automating the washing, dehydration, weighing, and frying processes of meat for Gukbap.

[0191] The meat manufacturing process system for Gukbap according to the present invention is composed of a device for fully automating the washing, dehydration, weighing, frying, and packaging data transmission of meat. The system is largely composed of a primary washing unit (100), a secondary washing unit (200), a washing basket (300) and a cover part (420), an LM guide-based transfer unit, a control unit (600), and a frying control system.

[0192] The primary washing unit (100) includes a washing tank for primary contamination removal of meat. The washing tank is made of a square tank made of SUS304 material, and an inlet and an outlet are formed at the bottom for the circulation of the washing liquid. A nozzle having a water pressure of 0.3 to 0.5 MPa is installed at the inlet, so that the washing water sprayed downward forms an upward flow, and floating matter on the surface is discharged through the upper overflow weir. The washing liquid is recirculated by sequentially passing through a two-stage filtration filter of 200 μm and 50 μm. The washing water is maintained as cold water in the range of 5 to 15°C, the residence time is adjusted to about 1 to 3 minutes, and the flow rate is adjusted to 60 to 120 L per minute.

[0193] The second washing unit (200) is a step for removing residual foreign matter and odors after the first washing, and is composed of a washing tank with a flat U-shape. Each section of the U-shaped structure is divided into washing (inlet section), rinsing (middle section), and drainage (outlet section). The washing section is equipped with a microbubble nozzle that generates bubbles with a diameter of 50 to 100 μm to separate blood and mucus from the surface of the meat. In the rinsing section, residues are removed with a clean washing solution, and in the drainage section, the washing solution is circulated in a free drainage manner. A filtration cartridge is installed at the bottom of the washing tank and is replaced when the pressure loss exceeds 0.1 MPa or when used for more than 8 hours.

[0194] The washing basket (300) is placed on each cell-shaped support base (120) in a detachable structure. The basket is in the shape of a square container with a completely open top, and through holes with a diameter of 5 mm are formed on the bottom and sides to allow for the free inflow and drainage of washing water. A circular key boss is formed on the bottom of the basket to be coupled with the support base (120), and it is precisely engaged with the keyway of the support base (120). The support base (120) has a trapezoidal cross-section locking projection, and a spring ball detent (530) is attached to the bottom of the basket so that it is snap-coupled when vertically inserted. When the cover part (420) is attached and rises along the Z-axis, it is automatically released and easily pulled out, and when lowered again, it is snap-coupled and reattached.

[0195] The cover portion (420) prevents meat from escaping and performs a stirring function during washing. The bottom has an open structure, and a number of holes are drilled in the top and sides to allow washing water to flow in and out freely. A ring-shaped interchangeable cutting blade (320) is installed at the bottom of the cover portion (420) and maintains a gap of about 0.3 to 0.5 mm with the upper edge of the washing basket (300). When the cover portion (420) is lowered and secured, the fibrous material of the meat extending along the edge of the washing basket (300) is automatically cut and separated only into each cell. The cutting blade (320) is made of SUS420J2 material and is formed with a hardness of HRC 50 to 55, a blade angle of 30°, and a thickness of 1 mm.

[0196] A rotating pin (422) protrudes vertically from the center of the cover portion (420), and a scraper (500) is stored inside. The scraper (500) is composed of a column portion (510) and a wing portion (520). The column portion (510) is a cylindrical structure formed to fit the inner diameter of the rotating pin (422) and is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The wing portion (520) protrudes radially and serves to distribute meat, and the wing length is approximately 60 mm. A torsion spring (530) is installed at the base of the wing portion (520). When the column portion (510) is pulled out, the wing portion (520) unfolds in a right-angle direction due to the restoring force, and when stored, it is compressed and folded in a straight line. The spring constant of the spring (530) is set to 0.05 to 0.1 N·m / deg.

[0197] The withdrawal and rotation of the scraper (500) are controlled by a control unit (600). The control unit (600) is composed of a movement control unit (610), a rotation control unit (620), and a storage control unit (630), each responsible for controlling the position of the LM guide, controlling the speed of the rotation motor, and the withdrawal and storage operations of the scraper (500). When the storage control unit (630) sends a withdrawal signal, the linear actuator inside the rotation pin (422) operates to advance the column part (510), and the wing part (520) is unfolded by the restoring force of the spring (530). When the movement control unit (610) gives a downward signal, the LM guide descends along the Z-axis so that the scraper (500) approaches the top of the washing basket (300), and when the rotation control unit (620) provides a driving signal, it rotates together with the cover part (420) to distribute the meat evenly.

[0198] The LM guide structure consists of three axes: X, Y, and Z. Two parallel LM rails (with a spacing of 250 mm) are installed on the X-axis, and a single rail is positioned to traverse them on the Y-axis. The X-axis servo motor is 400W class, the Y-axis is 200W class, and the Z-axis is driven by a ball screw and a motor with a built-in brake (200W). The rails are fastened to an aluminum frame, and proximity sensors and limit switches are installed at the ends of each axis to set safety zones. Motor wires and sensor signal wires are routed along the inside of the energy chain to prevent twisting during movement.

[0199] The rotary drive unit is fixed on the Z-axis carriage, and a servo motor (400W) and a reduction gear (1:10 ratio) are connected by a flexible coupling. As the LM guide moves, the rotary drive unit also moves synchronously, so that wire twisting does not occur during rotation. Vibrations that may occur during rotation are absorbed by rubber anti-vibration pads.

[0200] The washing basket (300), having completed the first washing, moves along the LM guide while attached to the cover part (420) and enters the U-shaped path of the second washing tank (210). Inside the washing tank, the second washing is performed by repeatedly rotating and moving up and down. The rotation speed is controlled to approximately 20 rpm, and the lifting stroke is controlled to approximately 30 mm. Each washing basket (300) is sequentially controlled in cell units, and the baskets of adjacent cells are transferred to the next process at intervals of approximately 10 seconds to enable continuous automatic operation.

[0201] After the second washing is finished, the washing basket (300) is lifted approximately 400 mm above the upper part of the U-shaped washing tank by the upward movement of the Z-axis of the LM guide, and at this point, the dehydration control unit (640) of the control unit (600) is activated. The dehydration control unit (640), synchronized with the rotation control unit (620), increases the rotation speed to 300 to 600 rpm per minute to perform centrifugal dehydration, and the dehydration time is approximately 5 to 10 seconds. The washing liquid is discharged through the through hole of the washing basket (300) and falls into the first washing tank (110), and the first washing tank (110) reuses the recovered washing liquid after filtering it.

[0202] After dehydration, a load cell-based weighing sensor is embedded in the rotating pin (422) at the top of the cover part (420). The sensor calculates the net weight of the meat by automatically correcting the empty weight from the total weight of the washing basket (300) and the cover part (420). The sensitivity is 2 mV / V, and the precision is ±0.05% or less. The measured data is transmitted to the pricing control unit (650), and the pricing control unit (650) automatically classifies the weight into three grades (A: ≤120g, B: 121~170g, C: ≥171g) and matches the unit price for each grade. The calculated pricing data is generated in the structure of {time, cell ID, weight, grade, unit price, line ID} and transmitted to the automatic packaging equipment via Ethernet. The packaging equipment transfers the washing basket (300) to the line corresponding to the grade, and a labeler automatically prints the unit price and weight.

[0203] The input section consists of a supply chamber, a hopper, and an input port. The supply chamber is a rectangular container structure with a capacity of approximately 20 kg, and the interior is finished with a food-grade polypropylene liner. The bottom of the chamber is connected to the hopper via a 12° inclined surface, and a gate slide valve and a vibrator are installed at the bottom to ensure that the meat falls evenly. The input port is located at the upper center of the primary washing tank (110), and the opening size is set to 200 × 60 mm. When meat falls from the input section, the control unit (600) deploys the scraper (500), and as the LM guide descends to a predetermined height, the cover section (420) rotates to distribute the meat evenly to each cell.

[0204] The entire system utilizes SUS304 for food-contacted parts and aluminum or powder-coated steel for non-contacted parts. EPDM or FDA-grade materials are used for sealing to ensure hygiene and chemical resistance. The inner corners of the washing tank are rounded with a radius of R10 or greater for improved cleaning performance, and welds are finished with #400 grit polishing. After washing, automatic cleaning is possible by sequentially spraying alkaline cleaning water and hot water through the upper CIP nozzle.

[0205] As a safety device, a light curtain is installed in the lowering section of the cover part (420), and the Z-axis brake and motor stop immediately upon approach. An interlock switch is applied so that operation is stopped when the upper cover is opened during rotation. In addition, an RFID tag is attached to the basket to automatically match the cell ID with process data, and the load cell is calibrated to a standard level once a week.

[0206] The system of the present invention configured as described above fully automatically performs washing, distribution, dehydration, weighing, pricing, and data linkage processes in an actual meat processing line for Gukbap, and can significantly improve hygiene safety and production efficiency by minimizing worker intervention.

[0207] In addition, mechanical completeness and process reliability can be simultaneously secured through the reuse of the cleaning solution, the automatic cutting function of the cutting blade (320), the deployment and storage structure of the scraper (500), and the precise movement and rotational linkage control of the LM guide.
