Description

i 142601in 142601

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår et elektrisk brændemærkeudstyr af segmenttypen til brændemærkning af slagtekroppe, fortrinsvis syv-segmenttypen, hvor hvert af segmenterne udgøres af et elektrisk modstandselement, 5 som kan aktiveres uafhængigt af de øvrige segmenter.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to segmental electric branding equipment for carcase marking, preferably the seven-segment type, each of which is constituted by an electrical resistance element 5 which can be activated independently of the other segments.

I forbindelse med slagtning af svin forekommer der forskellige mærkninger af kroppene, f.eks. mærkning i forbindelse med blodaftapning, kvalitetsmærkning ved afregning til landmændene samt "Danish" stribemærkning med 10 henblik på eksport. Ued mærkningen er det et problem, at man hurtigt skal kunne skifte mellem forskellige mærker, f.eks. i forbindelse med blodaftapning eller ved kvalitetsmærkningen af grisene. Især i forbindelse med blodaftapningsanlægget er der et problem med en fortløbende 15 identifikationsmærkning af slagtekroppene og de beholdere, hvori blodet bliver opsamlet.In connection with the slaughter of pigs there are various markings of the bodies, e.g. marking in connection with blood collection, quality marking for settlement to farmers and "Danish" strip marking for 10 for export. Without labeling, it is a problem that one must be able to quickly switch between different brands, e.g. in connection with blood collection or the quality marking of the pigs. Particularly in connection with the blood collection system, there is a problem with a continuous identification marking of the carcasses and containers in which the blood is collected.

Ued elektrisk brændemærkningsudstyr af den i indledningen angivne art er der en vis opvarmningstid til opvarmning af brændesegmenterne til en sådan temperatur, at de 20 kan indbrænde et mærke i slagtekroppene. Foruden opvarmningstiden er der også en afkølningstid ved ændring fra et mærke til et andet, idet segmenterne i det foregående mærke skal være afkølet så meget, at de ikke giver et mærke i slagtekroppene I men at det alene er det nye mær-25 ke, som indbrændes i kroppene.Without electric burn marking equipment of the kind specified in the introduction, there is a certain heating time for heating the burn segments to such a temperature that they can burn a mark in the carcasses. In addition to the heating time, there is also a cooling time when changing from one mark to another, the segments of the previous mark having to be cooled so much that they do not give a mark in the carcasses I but that it is only the new mark which burned into the bodies.

Det er formålet med opfindelsen at angive et elektrisk brændemærkeudstyr, hvor man hurtigt kan skifte mellem forskellige mærker.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to provide an electric branding equipment, where one can quickly switch between different brands.

Dette opnås ifølge opfindelsen ved, at opvarmningen af 30 brændesegmenterne er indrettet således, at samtlige brændesegmenter konstant påføres en grundlast samt kan påføres en impulseffekt, der for de enkelte brændesegmenter kan aktiveres uafhængigt af grundlasten, som er mindre end den effekt, der skal til for at præge et mærke i slag-35 tekroppene.This is achieved according to the invention in that the heating of the 30 burning segments is arranged so that all the burning segments are constantly applied to a base load and can be applied to an impulse effect which, for the individual burning segments, can be activated independently of the base load which is less than the power required for to mark a mark in the stroke-35 bodies.

142601 2142601 2

Opvarmningstiden af brændesegmenterne er således reduceret mærkbart* idet disse har en forvarmning, og ved at man til prægning af mærket udsætter brændesegmenterne for en impulseffekt, der hæver segmenternes temperatur fra forvarm-5 ningen til den temperatur, hvor den kan brænde et mærke i slagtekroppene oThus, the heating time of the burn segments is noticeably reduced * as they have a preheating and, by embossing the mark, the burn segments are subjected to an impulse effect which raises the temperature of the segments from the preheating to the temperature at which it can burn a mark in the carcasses.

For at opnå en endnu hurtigere skiftefrekvens, således at mærkningen ikke bliver et nåleøje på slagtelinien, indrettes der en køleindretning i brænderen til afkøling af bræn-10 desegmenterne, hvorved afkølingstiden for skiftning mellem de forskellige mærker reduceres markant. Køleindretningen indrettes fortrinsvis i brænderens kappe og håndtag, således at brænderen kan betjenes med en ubeskyttet hånd. Som kølemiddel anvendes fortrinsvis vand.In order to achieve an even faster switching frequency so that the marking does not become a needle eye on the slaughter line, a cooling device is arranged in the burner to cool the burner segments, thereby significantly reducing the cooling time for switching between the different labels. The cooling device is preferably arranged in the burner sheath and handle so that the burner can be operated with an unprotected hand. Water is preferably used as a refrigerant.

15 Brænderen udføres fortrinsvis således, at impulseffekten aktiveres ved brændesegmenternes berøring med slagtekroppen, hvilket har den fordel, at impulseffekten kun aktiveres, når der er brug for denne, og brænderens temperatur holdes således også på et lavt temperaturniveau. Som krops-20 detektor benyttes et af brændesegmenterne, som påføres en elektrisk spænding med modsat polaritet i forhold til brænderens yderkappe eller slagtekroppen, hvorved kredsløbet for impulseffekten sluttes ved berøring med sidstnævnte.The burner is preferably designed such that the pulse power is activated by the burner segments contact with the carcass, which has the advantage that the pulse power is only activated when needed, and thus the burner temperature is also kept at a low temperature level. As the body detector, one of the burner segments is used which apply an electrical voltage of opposite polarity to the burner's outer casing or carcass, whereby the impulse power circuit is terminated by contact with the latter.

I det følgende skal brændemærkeudstyret ifølge opfindelsen 25 forklares nærmere i forbindelse med et blodopsamlingsanlæg i et svineslagteri.In the following, the branding equipment of the invention 25 will be explained in more detail in connection with a blood collection facility in a pig slaughterhouse.

På tegningen viser fig. 1 brændemærkeudstyr vist i skematisk form, fig. 2 endebillede af brænderen, og 30 fig. 3 udsnit af en slagtelinie ved blodopsamlings anlægget.In the drawing, FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the branding equipment; FIG. 2 is an end view of the burner; and FIG. 3 section of a slaughter line at the blood collection facility.

142601 3142601 3

Et blodopsamlings'anlæg omfatter et antal units, f.eks. seks, der ophængt i en karrusel 2 (kun delvis vist på tegningen), hvilke units omfatter en blodopsamlingsbeholder 3 samt en stikkniv 4 til aftapning af blodet fra slagtekroppene 5, 5 som passerer på konveyoren 6. For at opnå en rationel arbejdsgang opdeler man dyrene i serier på f.eks. tyve og aftapper blodet fra disse i en og samme beholder 3, hvorefter man skifter til en ny unit 1 og så fremdeles. Blodets godkendelse afhænger af kroppenes godkendelse ved veterinær-10 kontrollen, der først finder sted senere på slagtelinien, efter at dyrene er skåret op. Ifald bare én af kroppene i en serie underkendes, skal alt blodet fra denne serie kasseres. Da veterinærkontrollen ikke finder sted umiddelbart efter blodaftapningen, men først langt senere på slagteli-15 nien, er det nødvendigt med en identifikationsmærkning af slagtekroppene og blodopsamlingsbeholderen 3, således at man er i stand til at finde tilbage til den beholder 3, hvori hvert enkelt dyrs blod er aftappet.A blood collection system comprises a number of units, e.g. six, suspended in a carousel 2 (only partially shown in the drawing), which comprises a blood collection vessel 3 and a puncture knife 4 for draining the blood from the carcasses 5, 5 passing on the conveyor 6. To achieve a rational workflow, the animals are divided. in series of e.g. thieves and drips the blood from these into one and the same container 3, then switches to a new unit 1 and then still. The approval of the blood depends on the approval of the body by the veterinary inspection, which only takes place later on the slaughter line after the animals are cut up. If only one of the bodies in a series is rejected, all the blood from this series must be discarded. Since veterinary checks do not take place immediately after the blood collection, but only much later on the slaughter line, identification of the carcasses and the blood collection vessel 3 is required so that it is able to be found back to the container 3 in which each animal blood is drained.

Identifikationsudstyret ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse 20 omfatter en transformatorkasse 7, en betjeningskasse 8 og en brænder 9.The identification equipment of the present invention 20 comprises a transformer box 7, a control box 8 and a burner 9.

Transformatorkassen omfatter en reguleringstransformator med udtag for grundlasten for samtlige ni brændesegmenter 10 i brænderen 9. Udover reguleringstransformatoren inde-25 holder transformerkassen en transformator for hvert af brændesegmenterne beregnet for afgivelse af impulseffekten til brændesegmenterne 10, Denne opbygning muliggør en uafhængig ændring af grundlast og impulseffekten. Herudover omfatter transformatorkassen et tidsrelæ med fjernbetjening for re-30 gulering af impulstiden, der sættes til ca. 2 sekunder for impulseffekten. I transformatarkassen 7 er desuden indbygget en diodematrix med tilhørende effektrelæer for nummer-valg i brænderen 9 samt en mekanisk tæller for optælling af nummereringerne, hvilken tæller forsynes med automatisk re-35 set. I bunden af transformerkassen 7 findes tilslutning 11 for brænderen 9.The transformer box includes a regulator transformer with an outlet for the base load for all nine burner segments 10 in the burner 9. In addition to the regulator transformer, the transformer box includes a transformer for each of the burner segments designed to deliver the pulse power to the burner segments 10. In addition, the transformer box includes a time relay with remote control for controlling the pulse time, which is set to approx. 2 seconds for the pulse effect. In addition, in the transformer box 7 is a diode matrix with associated power relays for number selection in the burner 9 as well as a mechanical counter for counting the numbering, which counter is automatically reset. At the bottom of the transformer box 7 is the connection 11 for the burner 9.

142601 4142601 4

Betjeningskassen 8 indeholder en betjeningsafbryder 12 med tilhørende kontrollampe 13. Denne afbryder 12 sætter spænding på anlægget samt en magnetventil 14 for kølevandet til brænderen 9. Herudover omfatter betjeningskassen 8 to num-5 mervælgere 15,16, en for hvert ciffer i brænderen 9. Desuden omfatter betjeningskassen 8 en indretning 17 til ind-' stilling af impulstiden for impulseffekten.The control box 8 contains a control switch 12 with associated control lamp 13. This switch 12 places voltage on the system and a solenoid valve 14 for the cooling water for the burner 9. In addition, the control box 8 comprises two number-5 selector 15,16, one for each digit of the burner 9. Furthermore For example, the control box 8 comprises a device 17 for setting the pulse time of the pulse power.

Brænderen 9 udføres for enhåndsbetjening og har en vægt af ca. 2 kg. Numrene opbygges efter digitalprincippet med skrå 10 segmenter 10, hvilket giver en tydeligere nummerering. Segmenterne 10 udføres i en chromnikkel-legering, således at de kan tåle den mekaniske belastning ved rengøring med stål-børste. I brænderen 9 er der indbygget en kølespiral for nedkøling af brænderens kappe 18 og håndtag 19, således at 15 man opnår en hurtig fjernelse af den overskydende varme fra de segmenter 10, som har været belastet af impulseffekten, hvorved man opnår en hurtig skiftefrekvens med brænderen 9. Tilslutningen til transformatarkassen 7 sker ved hjælp af en mangepolet connector for el- og lynkobling for kølevan-20 det 20,21, hvor 20 er tilgangen for kølevandet, og 21 er afgangen for kølevandet. For at lette betjeningen af brænderen 9 er den forsynet med en aflastning 22.The burner 9 is designed for one-handed operation and has a weight of approx. 2 kg. The numbers are constructed according to the digital principle with oblique 10 segments 10, which gives a clearer numbering. The segments 10 are made in a chromium nickel alloy so that they can withstand the mechanical load when cleaning with steel brush. Burner 9 incorporates a cooling coil for cooling burner sheath 18 and handle 19, so as to obtain a rapid removal of the excess heat from the segments 10 which have been affected by the impulse effect, thereby obtaining a rapid switching frequency with the burner. 9. The connection to the transformer box 7 is effected by means of a multi-pole connector for electrical and lightning coupling for the cooling water 20,21, where 20 is the supply for the cooling water and 21 is the outlet for the cooling water. In order to facilitate the operation of the burner 9, it is provided with a relief 22.

Når betjeningsafbryderen 13 er tilsluttet, nummervælgerne 15 og 16 indstillet, tælleren i transformatorkassen 7 ind-25 stillet samt impulslængden på indretningen 17 indstillet, er brænderen 9 klar til brug. Segmenterne 10 i brænderen 9 er nu forvarmet af grundbelastningen fra transformatorkassen 7. Hvor brænderen 9 nu trykkes ind mod dyrets krop, udløses kontaktfrit effektimpulsen, og et mærke indbrændes i 30 slagtekroppen. Denne impuls styres over tidsrelæet 17, der automatisk afføder impulsen efter den indstillede tid, der normalt sættes til 2 sek. Samtidig registrerer tælleren i transformatorkassen 7 en mærkning. Når tælleren har talt det ønskede antal brændinger, gives der et signal. Herefter 35 indstilles til et nyt nummer, samtidig med at der skiftes til en ny blodopsamlingstank 3, der mærkes med det nye nummer, og mærkningen kan begynde igen med det nye nummer.When the control switch 13 is connected, the dials 15 and 16 are set, the counter in the transformer box 7 is set and the pulse length of the device 17 is set, the burner 9 is ready for use. The segments 10 of the burner 9 are now preheated by the ground load from the transformer box 7. Where the burner 9 is now pressed against the animal's body, the contact-free power pulse is triggered and a mark is burned into the carcass. This pulse is controlled over the time relay 17, which automatically emits the pulse after the set time which is normally set to 2 sec. At the same time, the counter in the transformer box 7 registers a label. When the counter has counted the desired number of burns, a signal is given. Then 35 is set to a new number, while switching to a new blood collection tank 3, labeled with the new number, and the labeling can begin again with the new number.

Ovennævnte funktioner er alle manuelle, men kan naturligvis automatiseres.The above features are all manual but can of course be automated.

I det foregående er brændemærkeudstyret ifølge opfindelsen forklaret nærmere i forbindelse med et blodaftapningsanlæg 5 for svin, hvor man benytter tal til mærkning af slagtekroppene, men brændemærkeudstyret kunne lige så uel have været forklaret nærmere i forbindelse med kvalitetsmærkningen af svin, hvor man benytter bogstaver til mærkningen. løvrigt kan man lave et vilkårligt mærke, tal, bogstaver, figurer 10 eller en sammensætning deraf afhængig af brændesegmenternes udformning og sammensætning.In the foregoing, the branding equipment according to the invention is explained in more detail in connection with a blood drainage system 5 for pigs using numbers for marking the carcasses, but the branding equipment could as well have been explained in more detail in connection with the quality marking of pigs using letters for the marking. . In any case, any mark, numbers, letters, figures 10 or a composition thereof may be made depending on the design and composition of the burning segments.

Selv om der i det foregående er refereret til svin, kan brændemærkeudstyret ifølge opfindelsen benyttes til andre slagtekroppe, f.eks. kvier og får, idet opvarmningen af 15 brændesegmenterne kan varieres afhængigt af hvilke dyr, det drejer sig om, og hvilken del af kroppen, det skal sættes på .Although pigs have been referred to above, the branding equipment of the invention may be used for other carcasses, e.g. heifers and sheep, since the heating of the 15 burning segments can be varied depending on the animals in question and the part of the body to which it is to be put.

Brændemærkeudstyret udmærker sig desuden ved, at det på enkel vis kan sammenkoble de forskellige mærkninger med andet 20 registreringsudstyr, procesudstyr, f.eks. den såkaldte KSfl-måling til måling af spæktykkelsen på svin, således at de forskellige målinger kobles sammen med det på slagtekroppen påførte mærke. KSA-måling står for Kød Spæk Automatisk-må-ling og er baseret på den elektriske ledningsevneforskel mel-25 lem kød og spæk.The branding equipment is furthermore distinguished by the fact that it can easily link the different labels with other recording equipment, process equipment, e.g. the so-called KSfl measurement for measuring the thickness of the pig on pigs, so that the various measurements are coupled with the mark applied to the carcass. KSA measurement stands for Meat Skewer Automatic Measurement and is based on the electrical conductivity difference between meat and lard.

Et andet eksempel på brændemærkeudstyrets anvendelse er til fortløbende nummersystemer.Another example of the use of the branding equipment is for continuous numbering systems.
