It belongs to the field of health and safety management that makes it possible to prove the proper production process by monitoring with a computer, and also the field of business management of dairy farmers to reduce waste milk and realize efficient milk use It also relates to a method for managing the allocation of milk in the collection.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A container (bulk cooler) that refrigerates and stores milk is a facility that refrigerates milk. Milk immediately after milking has a temperature close to the body temperature of the cow (about 36 ° C.), and various germs are easily generated. It must be refrigerated to a temperature that prevents germs from occurring as soon as possible and prevents freezing. The temperature of drinking milk satisfying this condition is determined as a proper temperature in the range of 0 ° C. to 4 ° C. when kept cold, according to food hygiene regulations.
[0003]
The bulk cooler is an important facility for the safety and health management of milk because it is the facility that refrigerates milk first after milking.
[0004]
FIG. 2 is a configuration explanatory view showing a conventional milking system. In the figure, 101 is a cow, 102 is a teat cup, 103 is a milk claw, 104 is a pulsator (105), 105 is a milk container (milk receiver jar), 107 is a trap, 108 is a vacuum tank, 109 is a vacuum A pump, 110 is a vacuum pipe, and 111 is a feeding pipe.
[0005]
The vacuum pump 109 is connected to a vacuum tank 108 by a vacuum pipe 110, and the vacuum tank 108 is connected to a trap 107 by a vacuum pipe 110. The trap 107 is connected to the milk receiving container 105 by a vacuum pipe 110 and is connected to the milk claw 103 via the pulsator 104. The milk claw 103 is connected to the milk receiving container 105 by the feeding pipe 111, and the milk receiving container 105 is connected to the bulk cooler 2 by the feeding pipe 111. The milk claw 103 is provided with a teat cup 102.
[0006]

[0008]
(1) Forgetting to turn on refrigeration switch of bulk cooler (2) Power outage (3) Temperature rise due to excessive injection of milk (4) Abnormal operation of temperature automatic control mechanism This increases milk storage temperature and is suitable for drinking milk It may be judged that it is not, and may be discarded.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
At present, the temperature of the bulk cooler is manually monitored only whether or not it satisfies the proper storage temperature for drinking milk. For this reason, even if the processing milk used as a raw material for cheese and butter satisfies an appropriate storage temperature, milk is discarded. In order to make efficient use of food ingredients and improve the management situation of dairy farmers, the use of processed milk has been called out.
[0010]
In order to use such milk as processed milk, the temperature of the milk is measured separately from the automatic temperature control mechanism, and it is monitored whether or not food hygiene regulations are satisfied as processed milk for 24 hours. Need to do. It is impossible for dairymen to perform the above-mentioned monitoring manually, and at present there is no automatic monitoring system. In HACCP, which is being introduced at the producer stage, the monitoring method is described as visual inspection, and the temperature record is described as recording for each inspection. In the situation where 24-hour monitoring as described above is not technically established. is there. For this reason, an automatic monitoring system must be realized.
[0011]
The appropriate storage temperature depends on the milk production process. For example, in the first milking, milk close to the body temperature of the cow must be refrigerated within a range of 0 ° C. to 4 ° C. within 30 minutes after milking. In the second to fourth milking, a condition that the temperature does not exceed 10 ° C. is added to the first condition. The appropriate storage temperature varies depending on the difference between drinking milk and processed milk. In the future, an appropriate storage temperature may be changed. Therefore, it is practically impossible to perform manual monitoring based on all appropriate storage temperatures.
[0012]
If the temperature of the milk does not meet the storage temperature of the drinking milk specified by the regulations and the storage temperature of the processed milk is satisfied, the milk should not be transported to the drinking milk factory, but be transported to the processing milk factory. There must be. Moreover, when the storage temperature of drinking milk is not satisfied and the storage temperature of processed milk is not satisfied, this milk must be transported to a disposal factory without being transported to a drinking milk factory or a processed milk factory. Furthermore, processed milk and waste milk are not collected for drinking, and it is necessary to leave a properly collected record.
[0013]
As described above, at present, there is no automatic temperature monitoring device for 24 hours, and there is no system for reporting the temperature abnormality to the collection vehicle driver. There is an urgent need to create such an automatic notification system.
[0014]
The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, utilizing the fact that the prescribed storage temperature of drinking milk and processed milk of milk is different, always measuring the temperature of the bulk cooler of milk, drinking milk factory, processed milk factory, Immediately contact a collection car operator who goes to one of the disposal factories, and automatically generate and transmit the processed milk password and the discarded milk password when dispatching them. The purpose is to provide a method for managing the allocation of milk that can be used as a proof that proper use has been promoted and has been properly collected.
[0015]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the dispatch management method of milk collection according to the present invention automatically measures the temperature in a container for refrigerated and stored milk every predetermined time by a computer and does not satisfy the preservation temperature condition as drinking milk. If there is a case, check whether the storage temperature conditions for processed milk are satisfied, and if the conditions are satisfied, create a PIN for collecting the processed milk, dispatch a collection truck for processed milk, The secret code number is notified to the driver of the processing milk collection vehicle.
[0016]
In addition, the dispatch management method for collecting milk of the present invention automatically measures the temperature in a container for storing refrigerated milk by a computer every predetermined time, does not satisfy the storage temperature condition as drinking milk, and is processed milk. If the storage temperature condition is not met, a password for collecting the waste milk shall be created, a collection vehicle for the waste milk will be dispatched, and the driver will be notified of the password for the waste milk collection vehicle. It is characterized by.

[0020]
The temperature sensor 8 that is attached to the inner wall 5 of the bulk cooler and measures the temperature of milk is called a temperature sensor for measurement. The reason why the temperature sensor 8 for measurement is not directly inserted into the milk 6 side in the inner wall 5 of the bulk cooler is to prevent dirt on the temperature sensor 8 for measurement from moving to the milk 6.
[0021]
The measurement temperature sensor 8 is controlled by a computer 15. This computer 15 is called a control computer. The control computer 15 has a clock inside, operates the temperature sensor 8 every predetermined time, measures the temperature, and takes the measured temperature into the control computer 15. A production process input program is prepared in the control computer 15 so that the milk production process can be manually input. Manual input is input every time a new production process is started. When the same production process continues, no manual input is performed.
[0022]
The computer 15 automatically monitors the temperature of the milk 6 in the barrac cooler 2 for 24 hours by the temperature sensor 8, and the milk 6 is drinkable milk or processed according to the rules determined by the observation temperature, observation time, and production process observed by the temperature sensor 8. It is judged whether or not the storage temperature as milk is satisfied. The computer 15 transmits information on observation temperature, observation time, production process, drinking milk temperature normal / abnormal, and processed milk temperature normal / abnormal to a computer 17 installed in the dispatch center 16.
[0023]
When the milk in the bulk cooler 2 satisfies the storage temperature of the drinkable milk, the computer 17 notifies the vehicle phone 20 of the driver 21 of the cart 22 of the drinkable milk transfer system 19 to notify the dispatch. The collection vehicle 22 collects milk and transports the milk to a drinking milk factory.
[0024]
When the milk in the bulk cooler 2 does not satisfy the storage temperature of the drinkable milk but satisfies the storage temperature of the processed milk, the computer 17 informs the mobile phone 30 of the driver 31 of the collection vehicle 32 of the processed milk transfer system 29 to the mobile phone 30. Notify and direct the dispatch. The collection vehicle 32 collects milk and transports it to a processed milk factory. The computer 17 creates a password for collecting the processed milk and notifies the driver 31 of the dispatcher 32 of the code. At the time of processing milk collection, the driver 31 gives a collection completion slip with the code number to a person in charge of bulk cooler management. The bulk cooler manager will provide evidence that the milk has been recovered as processed milk by recording the PIN.
[0025]
When the milk in the bulk cooler 2 does not satisfy the storage temperature of the drinkable milk and does not satisfy the storage temperature of the processed milk, the computer 17 uses the mobile phone of the driver 41 of the collection vehicle 42 of the waste milk transfer system 39. Inform and instruct 40 to dispatch. The truck 42 collects milk and transports it to a waste milk factory. The computer 17 creates a password for collecting the waste milk and notifies the driver 41 of the dispatch vehicle 42. At the time of waste milk collection, the driver 41 gives a collection completion slip with the password to the person in charge of bulk cooler management. The person in charge of the bulk cooler records the personal identification number as evidence that the milk has been recovered as waste milk.
[0026]

Next, in step S210, the password for processing milk collection NB is well known from the computer 17 to the mobile phone 200 of the driver of the collection vehicle b.
[0036]
After collecting milk for processed milk from the bulk cooler of set B in step S220, the driver of the collection vehicle b writes NB in the collection completion notification slip in step S230 and passes it to the bulk cooler manager. The bulk cooler manager records the NB, providing evidence that the milk has been recovered as processed milk.
[0037]
In step S240, the collection vehicle b carries the collected milk of the cooler set B into the processed milk factory.
[0038]
In step S300, an instruction to collect the milk of the bulk cooler of set C is notified from the computer 17 to the mobile phone 20 of the driver of the waste milk transfer system collection vehicle b. Next, in step S310, the password 17 for collecting the waste milk is notified from the computer 17 to the mobile phone 200 of the driver of the truck c.
[0039]
After collecting the milk for waste milk from the bulk cooler of the set C in step S320, the driver of the collection vehicle c writes NC in the collection completion notification slip in step S330 and passes it to the bulk cooler manager. The bulk cooler manager records the NC and provides evidence that the milk has been recovered as processed milk.
[0040]
In step S340, the truck c carries the milk of the collected bulk cooler set C to the waste milk factory.
[0041]
After step S140, step S240, and step S340 are completed, the process proceeds to step S400 and the system is terminated.
