Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a smart raw milk cooler equipped with a program dedicated to a smart robot milking machine, and more specifically, to a new type of smart raw milk cooler equipped with a program dedicated to a smart robot milking machine that is equipped with a program dedicated to a smart robot milking machine, is controllable via a smartphone, and facilitates the storage, extraction, collection, cooling, cleaning, and management of raw milk. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, raw milk extracted from dairy cows or sheep at a farm is stored in a storage container with a certain volume and then sent to a milk manufacturing company once every one to two days.

[0003] However, since the temperature of raw milk during extraction is about 36°C, which is similar to human body temperature, if the raw milk is stored in a storage container for more than 10 hours, spoilage caused by bacteria occurs.

[0004] In particular, during the summer when the ambient temperature is 28°C or higher, the time required for raw milk to spoil shortens. Additionally, if the temperature of the raw milk exceeds 8°C, it is susceptible to spoilage and deterioration by bacteria, and if the temperature is below 1°C, it turns into ice, which destroys nutrients.

[0005] To prevent this, the extracted raw milk is rapidly cooled to 3 to 6°C in a raw milk cooler until it is collected by the milk manufacturing company, thereby safely preserving the raw milk.

[0006] After milk companies collect the milk, it must be thoroughly washed to ensure no bacteria remain; however, conventional raw milk coolers do not use flow meters, so the washing water cannot be accurately measured.

[0007] Therefore, if the water pressure changes, the amount of water entering will be different, and if the amount of water is different, a problem will arise where cleaning is not done accurately.

[0008] Furthermore, in the worst-case scenario, it goes unnoticed if the washing water fails to enter. In this case, the milk is not washed properly, and the acidic or alkaline washing solution damages the raw milk. Consequently, the raw milk becomes unusable, resulting in losses for the farm and the consumer.

[0009] In addition, conventional crude oil coolers did not have the functionality to automatically set and control the storage, freezing, and subsequent cleaning functions of crude oil.

[0110] [Efficient Usage of a Raw Milk Cooler Equipped with a Dedicated Program for Smart Robot Milking Machines]

[0111] Compressor (Cooling Compressor)

[0112] To achieve a cooling effect through mechanical means, the compressor and the evaporator of the crude oil tank account for the largest proportion of the crude oil cooler.

[0113] A compressor is a device that compresses low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to transform it into high-temperature, high-pressure gas. When the compressor compresses gas, the temperature rises due to the adiabatic compression process and the heat equivalent of the motor's work; therefore, if you touch the compressor's discharge pipe with your hand, it can become hot and cause burns depending on the operating conditions of the cooler.

[0114] *** Warning: Touching copper pipes with your hands while driving will cause burns.******

[0115] *** WARNING: Do not under any circumstances use the chiller during single-phase or low-voltage conditions (low voltage is defined as 208V for single-phase or 375V or lower for three-phase). ***

[0116] *** Warning: Low voltage may cause coil burnout or motor slip leading to increased cooling time, and compressor vibration may result in damage to the piping.

[0117] In particular, since the length of the cooling plate in the crude oil cooler is short, if it is operated without water, the temperature of the tank drops instantaneously, preventing the refrigerant from evaporating into gas from the tank and causing the compressor to be sucked in in a liquid state. Consequently, the liquid compression and the cooling reduction metals of the compressor's active parts become susceptible to low-temperature brittleness, which can cause serious failures in the compressor, such as burnout. Therefore, it must not be operated in an empty state.

[0118] In reality, since the compressor is not a matter for the consumer to choose but for the manufacturer, as a consumer, you must use it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0120] Condenser (machine room outdoor unit)

[0121] The refrigerant gas, which has been heated to high temperature and pressure by the compressor, condenses here by releasing heat into the air, so this is called a condenser. In the machine room of a crude oil cooler, hot air comes out when a blower is forcibly operated by rotating fan blades in a honeycomb-like shape. Depending on the ambient temperature, the temperature of the crude oil inside the tank, or the amount of crude oil, hot or lukewarm air may come out.

[0122] The fan (windmill) in the condenser may or may not rotate depending on the ambient temperature or the amount of crude oil, and if the cooling speed is normal and the fan rotates or does not rotate, you can recognize that the automatic device is operating.

[0123] ***In an emergency, if the compressor stops due to a fan failure, cooling will resume after forced ventilation from the outside with a fan and pressing the manual reset button on the high-pressure cutoff device.

[0125] The condenser must be cleaned in April during the spring. Excessive dust can lead to poor condensation, reduced cooling speed, and in severe cases, increased condensation pressure that may cause the compressor to shut down; therefore, it is essential to clean it every April using a soft brush or compressed air. Since the condenser is made of thin aluminum, care must be taken during cleaning to avoid damaging the aluminum fins. If the dust is severe, spraying a neutral detergent and cleaning with high-pressure water is effective. During this process, care must be taken to prevent electrical leakage inside the machine room caused by water. When performing water cleaning, it should be done early in the morning on a clear day, dried naturally or through ventilation during the day, and then checked for the operation of the circuit breaker before use. Since the inside of the aluminum is lined with thin copper tubes, it should not be cleaned with tools such as a pointed awl.

[0126] *** Warning: Do not use awls or similar tools when cleaning the condenser, and avoid strong acids or strong alkalis.

[0127] Do not use detergents, and after cleaning, ensure thorough maintenance for 2-3 days to check for electrical leaks, etc.

[0129] Tank (inner bottom plate / cold plate = evaporator)

[0131] In crude oil coolers, the tank plays the most significant role, and currently, all are of the plate direct cooling method.

[0132] The tank is the most important part of a refrigeration unit for achieving its ultimate goal, as it functions to store crude oil, cool it to the temperature desired by the consumer, maintain its freshness, and preserve it.

[0133] With currently used plate coolers, if hot water exceeding 60 degrees is injected into the tank when the tank is operating excessively empty or the tank cooling plate is below freezing, the tank's surface expands rapidly while the inner surface remains contracted. This can lead to accidents where spot welds detach, resulting in failures such as gas leaks. Additionally, if the cooler is operated empty, the lack of cooling load causes liquid refrigerant to be drawn into the compressor, causing it to freeze and resulting in compressor damage.

[0134] Therefore, operating the cooler empty should be avoided. In particular, there are users who freeze the cooling plate solid while empty before adding milk to shorten the cooling time. While this may shorten the cooling time, it has a very bad effect on the machine, so you must turn on the cooling switch after adding milk.

[0135] The stainless steel used in chillers is of type 27 and is non-magnetic; consumers can easily identify it as magnets do not stick when tested with a magnet, and manufacturers currently producing chillers do not use type 24, which magnets stick to.

[0136] *** Warning: Never operate an empty cooler. Operating it may damage the cooling plates, and liquid suction into the compressor may also cause the compressor to be damaged.

[0138] agitator

[0140] In order to prevent fat separation, such as fat floating to the top due to the difference in specific gravity between water and milk fat in the cooler, and to obtain a uniform low temperature and good cooling effect, it uses a motor to forcibly swirl the raw milk in the tank with stirring blades.

[0141] The agitator operates continuously for 3–5 minutes and stops for 30–60 minutes even after cooling is complete; this periodic stirring effectively prevents temperature differences between the upper and lower parts of the raw milk. The agitator motor ranges from approximately 25W to 100W, and due to its sealed structure, it generates a significant amount of heat during the summer.

[0142] *** Warning: Ensure that there is no moisture on the motor or wiring during cleaning or rain. The motor is designed to withstand temperatures up to approximately 90°C.

[0143] *** Warning: In the event of a malfunction in the simple stirrer, the cooler will operate, so the milk must be stirred manually to cool. If not stirred, the milk on the surface of the cooling plate will freeze, and the temperature of the milk throughout the cooler will not drop evenly, making it difficult to supply fresh raw milk.

[0145] Reverse rotation of the stirrer

[0146] The agitator rotates in the forward direction during cooling or washing, but rotates in the reverse direction only during washing drainage.

[0148] ***Caution: In case of a malfunction, you can use the switch on the left to force spray and drain.

[0149] ***Warning: In the event of a breakdown of the washing machine, the user must manually clean the inside of the tank before adding crude oil.

[0151] Harmful factors that slow down cooling speed

[0152] - a. The voltage is less than or equal to the rated voltage (280V or less, 375V or less).

[0153] - B. Poor cleaning of the condenser

[0154] -c. Poor ventilation of the machine room (in the above case, environmental unsuitability)

[0155] -d. Refrigerant shortage or overfill (can be verified with a fluoroscopic scanner)

[0156] - E. Aging of the compressor (In the cases of A, B, and C above, there is no time limit, but under normal conditions, it must be replaced after 5 years) (D and E above refer to mechanical non-conformity)

[0158] [Crude Oil Injection Prohibition and Precautions* Warning: Please strictly observe.]

[0159] Check before deployment

[0160] 1. If residual wash water remains inside the crude oil cooler tank, please do not add crude oil.

[0161] 2. You must leave the barn after checking whether the cooling temperature of the cooler thermometer is appropriate. If the cooling has not reached the appropriate temperature, you must make a comprehensive judgment based on the normal cooling speed, amount of raw milk, and cooling temperature. If there is an abnormality, please call the designated service center to report the condition and verify whether there is a problem.

[0162] If there are no abnormalities, you must leave the side of the cooler after it has stopped at the appropriate temperature and the crude oil temperature has been checked; if there is even the slightest abnormality, you must take appropriate measures.

[0163] 3. If the thermometer malfunctions, forced cooling can be performed using the switch on the right side. However, since the temperature continues to drop and the chiller does not stop, you must manually turn off the forced cooling switch after confirming that the temperature has been cooled to the appropriate level.

[0165] The crude oil must not freeze.

[0167] If the surface temperature of the cooling plate at the bottom of the tank becomes too low due to a gas shortage, equipment malfunction, or excessively low temperature settings, causing the crude oil to freeze, the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the crude oil inside the tank becomes severe, making it difficult to obtain the desired fresh crude oil.

[0168] * Warning: If raw milk freezes, the fat will drop, and in severe cases, it may cause water damage to the dairy company. Please check with the dairy company before supplying.

[0170] Cooling rate

[0172] The cooling capacity of a chiller depends on various factors such as tank size, cooling method, the size of the refrigeration room, and ventilation; however, even the most efficient chiller requires time to cool down.

[0173] Cooling times vary depending on the milking time and type of milking machine for each farm, so it is not advisable to compare cooling times with neighboring farms. Additionally, efficiency does not improve further once the tank capacity exceeds 60%, so excessive raw milk input should be avoided.

[0174] Please store and produce fresh raw milk with optimal cooling through thorough and consistent management (checking that the machine room is well ventilated, that power is sufficient, and that cleaning and detergent input are working properly).

[0175] * Warning: Poor ventilation or voltage issues result in slow cooling speeds and lead to compressor failure.

[0177] [Precautions for Installing a Raw Milk Cooler Equipped with a Program for Smart Robot Milking Machines]

[0178] Check the ranch's electricity.

[0179] You must be aware of the electricity used in livestock barns. There are two types of electricity used in barns: single-phase 220V and three-phase 380V. Three-phase 380V is more stable and has a lower failure rate. Although livestock farms using three-phase 380V power have a lower electrical failure rate than single-phase, the electrical risk is significantly higher due to the higher voltage; therefore, users of three-phase 380V must exercise caution. Additionally, three-phase 380V is approximately four times more effective than single-phase 220V.

[0180] Please be aware that with single-phase 220V, while the voltage is good at no load if you are far from the transformer, the voltage drop under load is significant. Power reinforcement is required when using large-capacity coolers, and if there is a power shortage, please step up to three-phase 380V.

[0181] Special caution is required for farms receiving three-phase 380V power or farms receiving single-phase power from a three-phase 380V transformer, as well as for livestock farms using 220V single-phase chillers, due to insufficient load handling capacity compared to using power received from a single-phase transformer.

[0182] * Warning: Insufficient power is fatal to the operation of the cooler.

[0184] Cooler grounding

[0185] The chiller must be grounded to Class 3, and the voltage must be used above the rated voltage. The temperature around the washer and water pipes must be 5°C or higher. Since electronically controlled chillers are susceptible to lightning and moisture, if there is a risk of lightning, the main power must be turned off. Users are required to take special care to ensure that there is no water or detergent residue around the chiller.

[0186] When the cooler tank is empty, turn off the switch and strictly prohibit the operation of the empty cooler.

[0187] Warning: Do not use outdoors or in sub-zero temperatures.

[0189] Install it at a low height.

[0190] The lower the height of the cooler, the more convenient it is to use. Although sealed coolers feature automatic cleaning, daily maintenance must be easy; therefore, a lower height is more convenient. Since a high height makes manual cleaning, internal washing, and internal inspection inconvenient, it is essential that the height be lower for sealed types to ensure convenient maintenance.

[0192] Install it in a way that is easy to clean.

[0193] Since regular cleaning or inspection is required, it must be installed in a way that makes inspection, repair, and cleaning easy.

[0194] The chiller requires regular inspection and observation.

[0195] Since the cooler is an expensive piece of equipment, if you pay attention to inspection and maintenance—such as dusting it off and listening for unusual noises—you will be able to use it for a long time without breakdowns.

[0196] **Caution: The condenser must be cleaned at least twice in the spring and summer.

[0198] It must be well-ventilated.

[0200] Hot air comes out of the condenser (radiator), and special attention must be paid to ventilation during the summer. If there is no ventilation, the refrigerant condenses poorly, leading to many adverse effects such as reduced cooling performance, shutdown, and breakdown. Therefore, to ensure smooth ventilation, a hole the size of the machine room must be made in the wall to allow for good airflow.

[0201] * Note: The efficiency of the cooler can be maximized only if ventilation and voltage are smooth.

[0203] Install it near the KEPCO transformer.

[0204] When electricity flows through a wire, its electrical resistance hinders the flow, and to prevent power loss caused by this, it should be installed as close to the transformer as possible. Just as water flows weakly at the end of a long hose, problems arise when electrical wires are long; while the voltage remains normal under no load, it drops when a load is applied. Therefore, it is recommended to install the wire as close to the transformer as possible, and in the event of power shortages, you should consult KEPCO or a refrigeration expert to take measures to reinforce the power supply.

[0205] Since the compressor motor of the chiller is a 2-pole motor, it requires a large amount of power during startup because the starting load is greater than that of other 4-pole motors.

[0207] * Caution: General motors and chiller motors are different, so do not consider them the same.
