Description

Meat cutting system with quantitative cutting function {MEAT CUTTING SYSTEM HAVING FUNCTION CUTTING CORRECTLY}

The present invention is a meat cutting system having a quantitative cutting function, and more specifically, the volume and mass of the meat unit before being cut in order to determine the type and use of the meat, and then cut the meat unit with the correct mass while maintaining the thickness suitable for the application. The present invention relates to a meat cutting system having a quantitative cutting function for measuring the cutting end point of the meat unit and then cutting the cutting unit to the correct mass from the cutting start point.

Meat slicer is a device that cuts meat in a butcher shop, and is divided into uses for cutting raw meat or frozen meat depending on cutting strength or method difference, and a meat slicer that cuts meat at high speed as in Korean Patent No. 881216 It is published and the basic structure of the meat season is outlined in this technology.

The known meat grinder consists of a conveying part for transferring meat to a cutting position, a cutting part for cutting meat to a specific thickness while moving the meat finely at the cutting position, and a storage part for storing or storing the cut meat. It can be called basic.

These meat grinders are simply driven by the blades (cutting wheels) of the cutting part, so the thickness can be controlled to some extent. In addition to the inefficiency caused by the cutting, there was a problem that the cutting process itself is delayed as the manual work is performed in parallel.

 In order to prevent such a problem, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0067483, 'Measurement system and method for automatically cutting meat quantitatively', calculates meat thickness or unit cutting weight according to an input value in order to cut meat quantitatively. It consists of a configuration for cutting, and the weight of the cut meat is measured by comparing the determination whether or not to reach the target weight and consists of a configuration for re-adjusting the thickness of the meat.

However, meat is not generally made of uniform density, and the volume of each meat slice also has variables such as height and width besides thickness, so that all meat slices having the thickness are processed evenly. It is not possible to conclude that it has a uniform weight, so it is expected to generate a large error. In addition, if the meat thickness is readjusted by measuring the weight of the cut meat, the weight of the cut meat is not uniform in the future. Not only can this occur, but the cutting process is considerably delayed if the cutting is performed while the meat is readjusted from the initial cutting.

Therefore, we provide a meat cutting system with quantitative cutting function that cuts meat precisely by the specific weight required by the consumer, but more precisely by measuring the volume difference or measuring the density based on the specific thickness of the meat loaf before cutting In addition to cutting meat, the volume and weight of the meat loaf prior to cutting are measured to set a cut point approximating the quantity to the meat loaf to determine the weight and target weight of the cut meat cut during the cut after the cut point.

A further object of the present invention is to set a preliminary point at a point spaced apart from the quantitative prediction point set in the meat chunk by a predetermined distance, and perform the cutting process at a constant speed up to the preliminary point, and then reduce the cutting speed after the preliminary point. By comparing the sum of the weight of the meat pieces and the target weight, a precise and accurate cutting configuration is provided while pursuing a faster speed than the weight comparison measurement from the beginning of the cutting.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are not drawn to scale and wherein like reference numerals in the various drawings refer to like elements.

1 is a perspective view showing a schematic appearance configuration of a meat cutting system according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a specific configuration of a meat cutting system according to the present invention.

Meat cutting system according to the present invention is a meat cutting machine 10, the input module 110 for inputting the type and use of the meat desired by the consumer, the measurement module 120 for measuring the volume and mass of the meat unit, and the measurement Cutting end point setting module 130 for setting the cutting end point in the meat unit to cut the meat quantitatively according to the mass and volume of the meat unit, and driving of the cutting blade 31 to be cut to the cutting end point Based on the cutting control module 140 to control the.

In addition, in the present invention, the term "meat unit" refers to a mass of meat before it is cut by a cutter, and the meat unit is primarily cut in order to cut meat at a specific size (meat meat cutter) during distribution. Refers to a chunk of meat that has been cut in advance.

First, the meat cutting machine 10 of the present invention will be described, and includes a transfer part 20, a cutting part 30, and a storage part 40 like the known meat cutting machine 10.

The transfer unit 20 performs a function of transferring the meat unit to the cutting unit 30, and the feeding unit 20 cuts at a seating position of the meat unit provided at the entry of the transfer unit 20 by a transfer unit such as a conveyor belt. The meat unit is transported to a point so that the cutting unit is ready for cutting.

In particular, the measuring module 120, which will be described later, is included in a specific portion of the conveying unit 20, or the conveying unit itself is included in the measuring module, so that the measuring module 120 can measure the total / unit volume and mass of the meat unit. have.

The cutting unit 30 rotates and moves the cutting blade 31 (generally vertically) by a motor drive, and moves the meat unit to the cutting position in contact with the cutting blade 31 by the moving unit 32. It performs a function of cutting the unit to a specific thickness, in addition to this function includes a function of adjusting the rotational speed and the cutting wait time and the moving speed and the moving distance of the cutting blade (31).

Here, the moving unit 32 performs a function of moving the meat unit transferred from the transfer unit to the cutting position so that the meat unit can be cut to a specific thickness by a specific distance and speed. The meat unit is fixed to the lower portion of the cutting blade and the cutting blade ( 31) itself is configured to cut the meat unit while making a horizontal movement in the direction of extension of the meat unit (in this case the cutting blade comprises a moving part), or the cutting blade 31 is only vertical / horizontal movement and the transfer part ( 20) can be made of any one of the configuration (in this case, the cutting portion by the cutting blade including the moving portion) to move the portion where the meat unit is seated to the cutting position at a predetermined distance and speed by a timing belt or the like. For a specific function and description of the moving part in the cut, refer to the known art.

In particular, the cutting unit 30 may be further provided with a shape determining unit 33 to determine the cutting end point of the meat unit to be described later.

The shape grasping unit 33 grasps the meat unit as a three-dimensional image, and then displays each detailed position in the three-dimensional image as a coordinate value so that the meat moves by recognizing coordinate values that change according to the moving distance even if the meat unit is moved in the cutting unit. In order to determine the shape of the unit, such a three-dimensional image of the meat unit receives a transmission from the storage unit of the cutting end setting module 130 to be described later, through which the meat unit is moved for cutting Provides properties that allow you to identify a specific location.

Alternatively, the cutting unit 30 may receive the cutting number data set by the cutting number setting unit to be described later without the shape detecting unit 33 and indirectly identify the cutting end point by determining the cutting time of the meat unit. It will be described later.

The storage unit 40 provides a space for seating or loading a meat mass (meat slice) after the meat unit is cut by the cutting unit 30, and additionally attaches the weight sensor 41 to the storage unit 40. It may be provided.

As such, the meat grinder having a function of transferring, cutting and storing the meat unit has a function similar to that of a known meat grinder, and thus, illustration and description of a specific configuration will be omitted.

As can be seen from Figure 2, the meat cutting system according to the present invention is the input module 110, the measurement module 120, the cutting end setting module 130, the cutting control module in a state including the above-described meat cutting machine 10 140.

The input module 110 provides a function of receiving the type, use, and mass of meat desired by the consumer through the input unit.

Here, the type of meat refers to a general type of meat, such as beef and pork, as well as a grade, and in particular, in the case of grade, for example, beef, beef, grade 1, 1 ++ grade Means the quality of meat commonly used in the market.

In addition, the use of meat refers to the use of the cut meat, such as for national street, grilling, stew, and provides a basic premise, in particular to determine the thickness of the meat to be cut. That is, because it is common sense that the thickness of the meat when used in the country and when used for roasting is a common sense and thus, in the present invention, the thickness of the meat may of course vary depending on the taste of the consumer. It is made by the thickness presented in the thickness database provided in the cutting control module 140 to be described later, depending on the use, so that the meat can be cut to a uniform thickness as long as the use of the meat is determined.

In addition, the mass of meat refers to the mass as much as the consumer wants to purchase (this is also referred to as the 'target weight' in the present invention), that is, the specific weight of the meat which the consumer wants to buy, such as 1 g, 300 g.

The input module 110 is prepared to determine the type of meat, the thickness of the cut by the purpose and to cut the meat unit according to the target weight.

The measurement module 120 of the present invention provides a function of measuring the state of the meat unit to be cut, that is, the shape, the total volume, and the mass of the meat unit. The site that binds to) can be differentiated.

The measurement module 120 includes a weight sensor 121 to grasp the mass of the meat unit, and in particular, to obtain a volume that varies depending on the total volume of the meat unit as well as the length of the Y axis. have.

First, the measurement module 120 includes a plurality of cams to generate a three-dimensional image by synthesizing the images captured by each cam to determine the shape of the meat unit. In this case, a method of identifying a 3D image by synthesizing each image may use a well-known Brezenam 3D algorithm. The method of determining the volume of the meat unit through such a plurality of cams has an advantage of pursuing cost reduction compared to the method described later.

In addition, the measurement module 120 may be configured as a 3D scanner 122. That is, the 3D scanner 122 makes it possible to easily grasp the entire volume as well as the volume of a specific part by the 3D scanner 122, and further, the function of determining the partial density by additionally providing an ultrasonic or X-ray irradiation function. You can also combine. Although the system configuration cost is increased, the 3D scanner 122 has a merit in that a quick and accurate volume measurement for a specific part is possible compared to the cam method.

According to this configuration, the measurement module 120 specifically includes a mass measuring unit 123, a volume measuring unit 124, a shape change measuring unit 125, an average density calculating unit 126, and an individual density calculating unit 127. It is possible to include.

The mass measuring unit 123 provides a function of measuring the total weight (mass) of the meat unit through any one of the weight scale, the electronic balance, or the weight sensor 121.

The volume measuring unit 124 combines the images captured by the plurality of cams by the Brezenam algorithm or performs a function of measuring the volume of the meat unit by 3D scanning by the 3D scanner 122.

The shape change measuring unit 125 identifies a three-dimensional shape of the meat unit based on the X, Y, and Z axes, and particularly, identifies a shape that is changed according to a change in the X axis, which is a direction in which the meat unit is moved to the cutting unit. .

3, in the present invention, the X axis means a horizontal direction (horizontal width of the meat unit), that is, the direction in which the meat unit is moved in the cut portion, and the Y axis means a vertical direction (the height of the meat unit), that is, the meat unit is a cutting blade. Means the direction to be cut by, and the Z axis can be understood to mean the width of the meat unit.

That is, 3D scanning identifies individual coordinate points of the detailed shape of the meat unit according to the X, Y, and Z axis coordinates, and thus changes according to the X axis change (movement and cutting thickness change of the meat unit). The shape of the meat unit as well as the individual volume can be measured.

 The average density calculator 126 calculates an average density of the meat unit based on the mass and the volume measured by the above function.

That is, the average density is calculated as the measured total mass / measured total volume. Of course, since the meat unit is not a homogeneous material, there is a difference in density for each part, but in the average density calculator 126, the density of the meat unit is basically. By calculating the average density under the assumption that is equal to, it is possible to provide a premise that the meat cut end point of the meat unit (which is also termed the cut end point in the present invention) to roughly fit the desired mass by the consumer.

The measurement module 120 additionally includes an individual density calculator 127, and performs a function of calculating an individual density of the meat unit that varies according to the unit length change with respect to the X axis.

The actual meat unit has a difference in the density of each part even in one meat unit according to the ratio of the parts of the lean meat to the scaffolding, the degree of marbling or the state of the meat. That is, when the individual density calculator 127 assumes that the thickness unit of the meat to be cut is 1, which is the basic unit of the X axis, the individual density calculator 127 calculates the density of the meat unit that varies according to the change of the basic unit.

The individual density calculator 127 is composed of any one of an ultrasonic irradiator and an X-ray irradiator, and includes a known solid density measuring means for measuring the density of each portion of the non-uniform material. Individual density can be measured.

Here, the specific portion refers to a slice of the meat unit that varies according to the change of the x-axis, and in particular, the density of the inside of the meat unit may be determined by an irradiation method such as ultrasonic waves, which is learned through comparison with the reference density database 128. It is important to know the individual density.

The reference density database 128 provides an index that can roughly predict the mass according to whether or not the meat unit such as the ultrasonic wave specified for each volume is based on the unit of the X axis, for example, the thickness (X). Axis) A / B / C classification per volume, and the density measured for the site of a particular meat unit, including the values according to experiments and learning such as a, b, c, d for each volume classification. When the density is a, it means a method of calculating the individual density value of the corresponding reference density database 128 as the individual density for the meat unit site.

In addition to the method of using a reference density database having a function such as a look-up table as determined by learning, a high-performance three-dimensional density meter 129 may be provided to more conveniently measure the density of each part.

As described above, the measurement module 120 of the present invention can quantitatively cut the meat unit by grasping the volume and mass of the meat unit to be cut, the average density thereby, as well as the volume change for each part and the individual density for each volume. It provides a property to generate data with prerequisite functions.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustratively showing the function of setting a cutting end point in a meat unit.

The cutting end point setting module 130 of the present invention predicts that the target weight is reached when the meat unit is cut to a specific point based on the moving direction when the meat unit is cut while being moved by the cutting unit 30, and thus the cutting unit is cut at this specific point. It provides a function to stop the cutting of the meat unit.

In other words, when cutting to a specific point of the meat unit based on the data measured in the measuring module 120, the cutting weight up to the specific point is provided to match the target weight required by the consumer. The point is referred to herein as the 'cutting end'.

Specifically, the cutting end point setting module 130 is composed of a thickness setting unit 131, the end point setting unit 132, the cutting frequency setting unit 133, the storage unit 134.

The thickness setting unit 131 has a function of determining the thickness of the meat unit to be cut through comparison with the thickness database 135 according to the purpose of the meat input from the input module 110 or reflecting the needs of consumers. to provide.

The thickness database 135 is a pre-determined optimal meat thickness data according to the use of meat, for example, grilling, soup distance, stew, etc., which means a database that determines the meat thickness suitable for a specific use by reflecting the taste of the general public in advance. do.

That is, the thickness of the meat unit to be cut means that if the purpose of the meat is determined by the input in the input module 110, it is automatically determined by the thickness data of the thickness database 135 presented in the selected application.

Furthermore, the thickness of the meat may vary to reflect the taste of the consumer, e.g. if the consumer selects roast pork and wants to eat it especially thickly, the thickness of the meat may be cut by manual adjustment to a thickness greater than the thickness presented in the thickness database 135. The thickness of the meat unit can also be determined.

The end point setting unit 132 determines the X-axis change of the meat unit based on the volume and mass data measured by the measuring module 120, that is, the meat unit per thickness set by the thickness setting unit according to the cutting direction of the meat unit. By predicting the mass, the meat unit performs a function of setting a cutting end point in the X-axis coordinates where the combined weight of the cut pieces corresponds to the target weight.

In other words, the end point setting unit 132 predicts the estimated weight of each segment that depends on the volume difference (or mass difference for each subdivision) of the segment to be cut by the total mass of the meat unit, as well as the number of segments to be cut. It is to set the point where the sum of the number of cut pieces coincides with the target weight.

The cutting end point 132 is any one of the X-axis coordinate values in the direction in which the meat unit is moved, and this cutting end point 132 is a volume change value that differs per section of each meat unit in the total mass. The cutting end point may be designated by calculating the average weight of each section, or the cutting end point may be set through the weight of each meat unit section calculated by the individual density calculator 127 more accurately.

Here, when cutting to the set thickness when the end is reached, the thickness of the last meat unit slice may be thinner or thicker than the thickness of other uniformly cut meat units when slightly short or oversized from the target weight.

The cutting frequency setting unit 133 performs a function of determining the cutting frequency to cut the meat unit up to the target weight based on the thickness set by the thickness setting unit 131.

That is, the cutting frequency setting unit 133 is to assist the function of the end point setting unit 132, and even if the volume or shape of the meat unit is grasped, the meat unit is moved to change the position of the meat unit. Specifically, it may not be possible to grasp the cutting end point of the meat unit from the shape grasping unit).

Therefore, the cutting frequency setting unit 133 cuts at the cutting unit itself when grasping the cutting frequency to the cutting end point reaching the target weight by using the uniform cutting thickness set by the thickness setting unit 131 to prevent such a problem. Even if the position of the end point is not recognized, the result is the ability to cut the meat unit to match the target weight.

For example, when the cutting thickness is set to 1 cm, the target weight is 600 g and the cutting end point is 14 cm away from the cutting start point of the meat unit along the cutting direction of the meat unit, the number of cuts can be easily calculated 14 times. It is possible to set the cutting blade 31 of the cut portion to cut 14 times. In addition, in the above example, if the cutting end point is a position away from the cutting start point by 14.5 cm in the opposite direction to the cutting direction, 14 cuts are made by 1 cm and the final cut is set to be 15 cuts in total. It is possible.

The storage unit 134 stores the position (coordinate) of the cutting end point set by the cutting end point setting unit 133 as data, and the cutting end point of the meat unit in the shape grasping unit 33 of the cutting unit 30. It stores the shape data and the cutting frequency data set in the cutting frequency setting unit 133 so as to grasp and transmits the shape data. The data stored as described above is prepared to transmit the cutting control module 140 to be described later to control the driving of the cutting unit 30.

Cutting control module 140 of the present invention is a cutting function of the cutting blade 31 of the cutting portion (cutting interval to the movement of the cutting blade) on the basis of the cutting end data to the cutting frequency data stored in the storage unit 134 and It performs a function of controlling the moving functions (moving speed and moving distance) of the moving unit 32.

In other words, the cutting control module 140 controls the function of the cutting unit 30 to cut the meat unit to a specific thickness up to the cutting end point.

Additionally, the cut control module 140 further includes a cut correction interface 150.

The cutting correction interface 150 performs a function for reinforcing the difference from the actual cutting weight, in particular when the measurement module 120 does not include the individual density grasping unit 127 and judges the entire meat unit as a uniform density. do. In other words, since the meat unit does not have a uniform density, the total weight of the meat unit pieces cut to the target weight and the cutting end point is inevitably made to reinforce this problem.

Specifically, the cutting correction interface 150 includes a preliminary end point setting unit 151, a cutting execution unit 152, a weight comparison unit 153, and a cutting re-execution unit 154.

The preliminary end point setting unit 151 performs a function of setting a point spaced a predetermined distance away from the cutting end point in the cutting direction to a so-called 'preliminary end point', wherein a predetermined distance is referred to as a cutting end point. It refers to a point spaced apart in the cutting direction by 2 to 4 cm or a point corresponding to a cutting cycle subtracted 2 to 4 times from the total number of cuttings to the cutting end point.

That is, the preliminary end point means that the preliminary end point is set to a point ahead of the end point of cutting in order to prevent the fear of exceeding a target weight when the actual meat unit is cut to the end point of cutting. In other words, the measurement module 120 fails to measure the density of each part of the meat unit, thereby preventing the problem that the combined weight of the meat unit slices cut to the cutting end point, which is inevitably measured, exceeds the target weight. do.

The cutting execution unit 152 provides a function of controlling the cutting unit to cut the meat unit to the thickness set by the thickness setting unit up to the preliminary end point, and at this time, to the preliminary end point so as to easily recognize the preliminary end point. It can have a function of calculating the number of times of cutting.

In other words, the cutting execution unit 152 controls the driving of the cutting unit 30 to cut the meat unit to the preliminary end point.

The weight comparison unit 153 measures the total weight of the meat unit pieces cut through the weight sensor 41 additionally provided in the storage unit 40 and based on the data measured in the measurement module 120. A comparison is made with the predicted weight data, i.e., the sum of the sums of weights of the meat unit slices cut to the preliminary end point (the assumption of the weight of the meat units cut to the preliminary end point is naturally derived since the calculation was made with uniform density). do.

That is, the weight comparison unit 153 compares the actual weight and the expected weight of the meat unit slice cut to the preliminary end point, and calculates the difference. In other words, if the exact density or weight is not determined, there is a difference between the assumed weight and the actual weight.

The cutting re-execution unit 154 cuts the meat unit to a set thickness in a state in which the cutting speed by the operation of the cutting blade 31 and the moving unit 32 of the cutting unit 30 is reduced, thereby reducing the meat unit slices dropped into the storage unit. The actual weight is identified and the cutting is performed to the target weight while comparing with the target weight.

That is, the cutting redistribution unit 154 provides a cutting function after the preliminary end point, and since the combined weight of the meat unit pieces up to the preliminary end point is expected to be lower than the target weight, the general cutting is performed until the preliminary end point. Afterwards, the cutting speed is reduced, and the weight of each cut meat slice unit is measured, and the cutting is performed while comparing their total weight with the target weight one by one so as to be close to the target weight or close to the target weight with only a slight error. Make sure the meat unit is cut.

Due to this, the position of the cutting end point may be changed, and the actual cutting number may also be different from the expected cutting number.

That is, the cut compensation interface 150 recognizes that time is delayed when comparing the target weight and the weight of the cutting unit section from the beginning of the cut, and sets a preliminary end point before the cut end point so that the normal cut speed is reached up to this point. By cutting the raw meat unit and providing the function of finely adjusting the target weight thereafter, it is possible to provide a characteristic that satisfies both the speed of cutting and the quantification of cutting at the same time.

As described so far, the configuration and operation of a meat cutting system having a quantitative cutting function according to the present invention has been represented in the above description and the drawings, but this is merely an example, and the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the above description and the drawings. And, of course, various changes and modifications are possible within the scope without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
