Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for collecting animal products including a blister-type capsule for collecting animal products,

The present invention relates to a bullet shaped capsule for sampling and storing a sample by cutting a carcass of a livestock product, and a sample collecting device.

Livestock traceability is a system that keeps track of all the history from production to distribution of livestock products. Livestock traceability system for the operation of beef traceability as one of the livestock traceability records records and manages the information from the birth of the cattle to the slaughtering, If a problem occurs, it can track its history and respond quickly.

Animal identification numbers are assigned to cattle and pigs for the purpose of operating this livestock traceability system, and livestock which are difficult to identify are prohibited from transfer, pumping or exporting. The technology of the animal product traceability system is described in US Pat. No. 8,315,440 entitled "System and method for animal identification using iris images" and US Patent No. 7,400,742 entitled "Animal identification and safety system security system ".

On the other hand, identification of livestock is carried out by ear tags, followed by ear notching and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) identity test. For DNA identity testing, samples are taken from conductors, for example, all cattle slaughtered in our country. Afterwards, the identity of the beef sold and the DNA of the sample are checked for traceability. Samples of cattle are to be sampled at a width of 2 cm, a length of 2 cm, and a thickness of 0.5 cm. The livestock product quality assessor cuts the conductor directly by using a sampling tool such as a sterilized scissors, a pincette, etc., and collects the sample.

However, as described above, samples for DNA identity testing of livestock products must be sampled directly by aseptic gauze using a sampling tool of livestock quality assurance company. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes much time and effort to collect the sample. In particular, since the sampling tool must be used individually for each conductor, and the collected sample must be stored in a sterile plastic bag or the like, the preparation and use of the sampling tool and the sterile plastic bag are very troublesome. In addition, since the livestock product quality assessor cuts the conductor by hand and collects the sample, it is difficult to level the sample.

The capsule 20 and the cartridge tube 80 are held in the bore 82 when the ozone 22 is received in the bore 82 and the rear end of the cylinder container 28 is caught by the middle stopper 88, It is retracted together. When the cartridge tube 80 returns to the loading station 222, the first electric motor 262 is stopped. The cap 100 is loaded from the cap feed magazine 330 in front of the cartridge tube 80. The cap 100 is moved to the bore 82 of the cartridge tube 80 when the cartridge tube 80 is advanced with the capsule 20 by the operation of the first electric motor 262, And the o-jaw 22 is fitted in the bore 102 of the cap 100. As shown in Fig. When the cap 100 is covered with the ojib 22 in this manner, the inlet hole 26 is blocked by the cap 100 to prevent foreign matter from entering. 11G, when the cable 292 is loosened by the operation of the solenoid actuator 290, the fingers 286 are released from the locking holes 42 by the elastic force of the springs 288, 282). The operation of the first electric motor 262 causes the shaft 250 to retract and return. 11A, 11E, and 11F illustrate that the fingers 286 are exiting the locking holes 42, but this is illustrative, so that when the boss 282 is fitted into the bore 40, And the rotation of the capsule 20 can be performed by rotation of the capsule 20 by the locking holes 42.

3 and 12, an optical signal emitted by the operation of the light emitting device 342 is transmitted through the first window 92 of the cartridge tube 80 and the first window 44 of the capsule 20, To the sample (4). The optical signal is blocked by the sample 4 and is not received by the light receiving element 344. The controller 350 determines whether or not the sample 4 is collected according to a signal input from the light receiving element 344 and controls the operation of the wireless communication device 390 to transmit data on whether or not the sample 4 is collected, (400).

2, the capsule 20 in which the sample 4 is collected and the cartridge tube 80 are unloaded from the loading station 222 to the capsule recovery magazine 320. A new capsule 20 and cartridge tube 80 are loaded into the loading station 222 from the capsule feed magazine 310. [ The counter 380 counts the capsule 20 used for collecting the sample 4 and inputs it to the controller 350. The controller 350 sends a series of history information such as data of the tag 422 input from the reader 424, the number of capsules 20, data on whether or not the sample 4 is collected, time, etc. to the server 400 send. The server 400 stores and manages a series of history information. The clients 412 can access the server 400 through the Internet 410 to confirm the history information.

FIG. 15 shows another embodiment of a blind-type capsule and an electric hand tool in the animal sample collecting apparatus according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 15, an electric hand tool 500 according to another embodiment includes an electric power screwdriver 510. The electric screwdriver 510 has a driver 514 that is rotated by the driving of the electric motor 512. A chuck 520 is mounted at the end of the driver 514 so as to chuck the rear end of the cylinder container 28. The blister-shaped capsule 20a of another embodiment has a structure in which the location hole 38, the bore 40 and the locking hole 42, the first and second windows 44 and 46 of the blister- .

On the other hand, the livestock product quality evaluator can take the sample 4 from the conductor 2 by rotating the blind-type capsule 20a of another embodiment using the electric screwdriver 510, rotating tool, or the like. The livestock product quality evaluator chucks the cylinder container 28 of the blind capsule 20a to the chuck 520a and drives the electric motor 512 by driving the ojive 22 against the conductor 2, 514). The driver 514 and the capsule 20a are rotated together and the conductor 2 is cut by the blade 60 and the sample 4 flows into the chamber 30 through the inlet hole 26. [ When the sampling of the sample 4 is completed, the animal quality assessor stops the electric motor 512, closes the inlet hole 26 by covering the ooze 22 with the cap 100, (20a). As described above, the sample 4 of the conductor 2 can be easily cut and collected by the blind-type capsule 20a according to the present invention.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
