In general, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is one of the preventive food safety management systems for supplying safe and hygienic food to food consumers.

In other words, it is a system that scientifically analyzes situations in which biological, chemical, and physical hazards may exist in food raw materials and manufacturing processes, and blocks the remaining hazards and causes of contamination in advance.

One of the main contents of the HACCP management system is to analyze biological, chemical, and physical hazards, identify the causes of potential hazards, and prevent each hazard to a safe level, completely remove it, or reduce it to an acceptable level. to have preventive measures in place.

Foreign substances, which are physical hazards mixed in the food manufacturing process, can have various effects depending on the object that consumes the food and adversely affect the image of the food manufacturer, so it is necessary to minimize them.

In the HACCP management system, a management plan for foreign substances that may be mixed in all stages from the warehousing of raw materials to manufacturing, processing, storage, and transportation must be established, followed, and, if necessary, facilities and equipment capable of managing this must be established. should be installed

A typical physical hazard in food is a metal foreign substance, and the equipment for managing it is a metal detector.

The metal detector used in the HACCP management system must be monitored at regular time intervals to check for abnormalities such as abnormal sensitivity and malfunction.

The metal detector monitoring cycle is at the beginning of work, every 2 hours of work, and when changing products.

In addition, the monitoring method is a method of checking detection by passing a standard test piece containing a metal piece of a predetermined size through the left, right, and middle of the metal detector, respectively.

However, in the conventional metal detector monitoring method, the operator manually passes a standard specimen every 2 hours during the product inspection process and records the result, so the monitoring point is missed, and the time required and There was a problem that the workload was unnecessarily increased.

Accordingly, the present inventors have invented a metal detector monitoring automation device and method capable of automatically supplying a standard specimen to a required target point at predetermined time intervals for monitoring performed at regular intervals to ensure performance of the metal detector. .

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in each of the plurality of specimen loading trays 110, 120, and 130, specimen slide guides 115, 125, and 135 are installed so that the standard specimen is transferred to the conveyor in the product transfer unit 300 ( 320) to be dropped to the exact location required.

The plurality of specimen ejectors 100 are configured by utilizing a card ejection module mechanism used for issuing phone cards, credit cards, RFID parking cards, admission tickets, and the like.

Therefore, there is a clutch device like the card ejection module to prevent simultaneous ejection of a plurality of standard specimens from one specimen ejector, and it can be modified and used to fit the size and thickness of the standard specimen.

In addition, the operation of the specimen ejection motor (not shown) is controlled according to the specimen ejection signal transmitted from the specimen ejection controller 200, and a specimen ejection end sensor (not shown) and a loaded specimen exhaustion sensor (not shown) are installed, It is possible to check whether or not there is an abnormality when the standard specimen is discharged.

In general, metal detectors usually have different detection sensitivity depending on the position of the specimen detection sensor as the operating time is accumulated.

For this reason, in order to verify the performance of the metal detector, the plurality of specimen ejectors 100 of the present invention are first to third metal detection sensors (not shown) in the metal detection sensor unit 400 spaced apart from the upper part of the product transfer unit. Standard specimens are discharged so that the standard specimens can sequentially pass through each lower part.

The operation cycle displayed through the operation time display unit can be set as a number in minutes, and when the metal detector monitoring operation starts, the first to third specimen discharge signals are sent from the specimen discharge controller 200 for each preset discharge cycle. It is automatically transferred to the third specimen ejector 100.

If there is a device failure or data error after the metal detector monitoring operation, the user manually pushes the RESET button to reset the operation time.
