Abstract
Description
Automatic seal processing device
[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic seal processing device, and more particularly, to an automatic seal processing device for enhancing food safety.
[0002] The certification process for pig slaughter verifies the quality and sanitary conditions of the meat, and specifically indicates whether each breed has passed the certification process. For this purpose, a 4:1 ratio of Red No. 3 and Blue No. 1 edible inks are used, and the stamp is produced according to the standard stamp format prescribed by the Livestock Products Sanitation Management Act. This stamp includes the region where the slaughter took place and the region code.
[0003] Typically, pigs are marked near the hind legs or rump. This means two marks, one on each side of the carcass. Furthermore, on Jeju Island, black pigs are marked with a black pig mark on four locations: the top, middle, bottom, and back of one carcass. This extensive use of marks distinguishes black pigs from regular pigs, particularly since black pigs are more than twice the price of regular pigs, preventing adulteration during meat processing and final auctions.
[0004] In conclusion, the certification process uses edible ink to stamp a seal, which includes the region and local code. Common pigs typically receive two seals, while Jeju Island black pigs receive eight black pig marks and six seal marks.
[0005] The above-mentioned certification process is carried out through the cooperation of a land inspector and a stamper, and there was a problem with labor costs as people were assigned to simple tasks other than inspection, such as stamping. In addition, there was a problem with the physical burden on workers as the inspection and certification processes had to be completed within a short period of time.
[0006] Therefore, the need for an automatic inspection processing device has emerged to address this issue and enhance food safety.
[0007] The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic inspection processing device that detects the movement and movement speed of a conductor through a sensor and automatically stamps an inspection stamp to assist the simple work of an inspector and improve yield.
[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, an automatic stamping processing device is provided, which includes a stamping device for moving a stamp, a frame, a position sensor for detecting the position and movement speed of the stamp, a stamping device used for stamping the stamp, an ink supply device for supplying ink to the stamping device, and a control panel for controlling the stamping device based on the position and movement speed of the stamp obtained through the position sensor.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the land moving device may be an automatic inspection processing device including a moving rail formed in the moving direction of the land and a hanger fixed to the land and allowing the land to move along the moving rail.
[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the position sensor may be an automatic fingerprint processing device including a first position sensor that detects the movement flow when the body moves, and a second position sensor that detects the position of the body and the movement speed of the body.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the stamping device may be an automatic stamping processing device characterized in that it includes an actuator that drives along the direction of movement of the body, a pneumatic cylinder attached to the actuator and driven toward the inside of the frame, and a stamp mounted on one side of the pneumatic cylinder.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ink supply unit may be an automatic stamp processing device characterized by including an ink supply frame, a supply hose for supplying ink from the outside, an ink cartridge for storing ink supplied from the supply hose, an ink roller for receiving ink from the ink cartridge and supplying ink to the stamping device, a scraper for controlling the amount of ink supplied to the stamping device, and a lower discharge port for discharging ink removed through the scraper.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control panel may be an automatic stamping processing device including a memory that stores the position of the stamp and the moving speed of the stamp obtained through the position sensor, and a processor that controls a stamping device and an ink supply device according to the information in the memory.
[0014] According to one aspect of the present invention, labor costs required for the verification process can be reduced.
[0015] Additionally, it can help improve the inspection yield of inspectors by automatically stamping the inspection seal.
[0016] In addition, it can help ensure the safety and quality of livestock products and provide accurate information to consumers, thereby helping them consume them safely.

[0031] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0032] FIG. 1 is a side view showing an automatic inspection processing device (1000) of the present invention during a whole pig slaughtering process according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] The pig slaughter process involves meat inspection and certification processes to ensure the safety and quality of livestock products and to provide accurate information to consumers. However, the lack of automation in these processes has hindered the provision of accurate information.
[0034] Accordingly, the automatic seal processing device (1000) provides an invention that automatically processes a process of stamping a seal in a process of inspecting and determining a grade of pork (P) during pig slaughter.
[0035] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an automatic stamp processing device (1000) according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of an automatic stamp processing device (1000) according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a stamping device (400) and an ink supply device (500) of an automatic stamp processing device (1000) according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0036] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the automatic stamp processing device (1000) may include a land movement device (100), a frame (200), a position sensor (300), a stamping device (400), an ink supply device (500), and a control panel (600).
[0037] The land transport device (100) may include a moving rail (110) and a hanger (120).
[0038] A carcass moving device (100) refers to a device that moves carcasses (P) according to the flow of the slaughtering process. At this time, a moving rail (110) may be included for free movement of the carcass (P), and the moving rail (110) may have various configurations for moving the carcass (P). For example, the moving rail (110) may be a conveyor.
[0039] Additionally, the land transport device (100) may include a hanger (120) having one side fixed to the land (P) and the other side fixed to the moving rail (110). For example, the hanger (120) may be a ring or hanger type.
[0040] The frame may further include a horizontal frame (210) and a vertical frame (220).
[0041] The frame (200) may be configured to have a position sensor (300), a stamping device (400), an ink supply device (500), and a control panel (600) disposed therein.
[0042] The seal of the P can be marked in four locations: upper, middle, lower, and rear. Accordingly, the frame can be formed with three horizontal frames (210).
[0043] Additionally, a position sensor (300), a stamping device (400), and an ink supply device (500) may be placed on each of the three horizontal frames (210).
[0044] In addition, in order to go through both the left and right inspection processes, the three horizontal frames (210) are characterized by having a left-right symmetrical structure.
[0045] Additionally, two or more of the position sensors (300) may be placed at a certain interval on the horizontal frame (210).
[0046] The position sensor (300) may include a first position sensor (310) and a second position sensor (320).
[0047] The first position sensor (310) may be attached to the ink supply unit (500). Specifically, it may be attached to the ink supply unit (510) closest to the entry position of the ground (P).
[0048] Therefore, it is possible to determine the location and time when the body (P) first entered the automatic fingerprint processing device (1000).
[0049] The second position sensor (320) may be attached to the following stamping device (400). Specifically, it may be attached at a position spaced a certain distance horizontally from the first position sensor (310).
[0050] Accordingly, the position of the ground (P) after a certain period of time can be determined through the second position sensor (320), and the movement speed of the ground (P) can also be determined through the time and position data.
[0051] Information on the position and speed of the ground (P) obtained through the first position sensor (310) and the second position sensor (320) is transmitted to the control panel (600) below.
[0052] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the stamping device (400) may include an actuator (410), a pneumatic cylinder (420), and a stamp (430).
[0053] The stamping device (400) can utilize the position and speed information of the ground (P) received from the position sensor (300) to stamp the stamp (430) at an accurate position.
[0054] Figure 5 (a) is a drawing showing a stamp (430) being supplied with ink before the stamping device (400) is moved by the actuator (410). Figure 5 (b) is a drawing showing a state after the stamping device (400) is supplied with ink and moves by the actuator (410) to stamp on the ground (P).
[0055] Referring to (a) and (b) of FIG. 5, the actuator (410) serves to move the following painting (430) along the direction of movement of the ground (P).
[0056] Figure 6 (a) is a drawing showing a state before the ground (P) reaches a predetermined stamping position. Figure 6 (b) is a drawing showing a state in which the ground (P) reaches the stamping position and a stamp (430) is stamped by a pneumatic cylinder (420).
[0057] In addition, referring to (a) and (b) of FIG. 6, a pneumatic cylinder (420) is attached to the outer surface of the actuator (410) and moves the following painting (430) in the inward direction of the frame (200).
[0058] Accordingly, the stamp (430) moves to the desired stamping position using the actuator (410) based on data obtained using the position sensor (300). Thereafter, stamping is performed through the stamping process using the pneumatic cylinder (420).
[0059] At this time, data on the position and movement speed of the ground (P) can be obtained through the position sensor (300), and the driving speed of the actuator (410) and the pneumatic cylinder (420) can also be determined. By synthesizing the above information through the control panel (600), the automatic stamping processing device (1000) can automatically stamp at a desired position through the stamping process.
[0060] Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the detailed configuration of the ink supply unit (500).
[0061] Referring to FIG. 7, the ink supply unit (500) may include an ink supply unit frame (510), a supply hose (520), an ink cartridge (530), an ink roller (540), a scraper (550), and a lower discharge port (560).
[0062] The ink supply unit (500) may serve to supply ink to the stamp (430) for stamping by the stamping device (400). At this time, the ink supply unit (500) may take the form of a roller and includes a configuration for scraping off excess ink, thereby maintaining an appropriate amount of ink in the stamping device (400) and continuing the stamping process.
[0063] The ink supply frame (510) may be configured to which the first position sensor (310) is attached, and may be configured to include the ink roller (540) and scraper (550).
[0064] The supply hose (520) is configured to ensure that the ink in the stamping device (400) is not insufficient during the stamping process, and is a hose that receives external ink. Accordingly, the ink cartridge (530) below is continuously supplied with ink through the supply hose (520), thereby preventing the stamping process from being interrupted due to insufficient ink.
[0065] The ink cartridge (530) is configured to store ink supplied from the supply hose (520) and serves to supply the stored ink to the ink roller (540).
[0066] The ink roller (540) receives ink from the ink cartridge (530) and supplies ink to the stamp (430).
[0067] Also, referring to FIG. 7, the ink roller (540) may have a roller shape and may be of a type that rolls and supplies ink to the stamp.
[0068] The scraper (550) can serve to remove ink when ink is oversupplied to the ink roller (540).
[0069] The lower discharge port (560) can serve as a discharge port for discharging ink removed by the scraper (550).
[0070] Figure 8 is a block diagram showing communication between a position sensor and a control panel. Figure 9 is a block diagram showing communication between a stamping device and a control panel.
[0071] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the control panel (600) may include a memory (610) and a processor (620).
[0072] The memory (610) can store information on the position and speed of the ground (P) obtained from the position sensor (300) and information on the position and amount of ink of the stamping device (400).
[0073] The processor (620) can control the stamping device (400) based on the information stored in the memory (610). In addition, the processor (620) can also control the ink supply device (500) based on the information stored in the memory (610).
[0074] The automatic inspection processing device of the present invention automates the inspection process, thereby reducing labor costs. Furthermore, by automatically stamping the inspection seal, it can help improve the inspection yield of inspectors throughout the entire process. Furthermore, it can ensure the safety and quality of livestock products and provide accurate information to consumers, contributing to their safe consumption.
