Description
METHOD FOR COLLECTING AND PROCESSING CORRESPONDING AMOUNT OF MILK
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for collecting and processing dairy products, and belongs to the technical field of dairy product processing.
Related Art
As the development of internet and Internet of Things, more large and medium-scaled pastures and dairy production and processing enterprises select computer and information management, and intelligent development becomes a necessary trend. At the same time, because living standards of consumers keep being raised, and people have higher requirements for dairy products, the problem of food safety needs to be considered, and selections to indexes such as the category, ingredients, and the manufacturer need to be made, so as to select a proper dairy product to be drunk by oneself from various products.
In such a big background environment, how to meticulously distinguish each batch or even each battle of milk, so that the consumers can pursue quality safety of the dairy products and select the dairy product satisfying the requirements of oneself is a new task researched in the industry. However, in the prior art, intelligent methods about processing dairy products have more or less disadvantages. Although these methods can achieve tracing of a milk origin, the produced dairy products are all gathered together to be filled and produced. For milk finally given to the consumers, the consumers still cannot know which cow produces the milk and when the milk is produced, and still cannot know various physical and chemical indexes of the drunk milk because this bottle of milk is not from the same cow and possibly is not produced at the same period.
After a preliminary search, there is no methods which can conveniently, accurately, and efficiently collect and process a corresponding component of milk in the prior art, so that it is impossible for the consumers to freely select the dairy products to be drunk.

Quantity of the transit storage tanks needs to be two or more, and specifically is flexibly set according to the number of cows milked at the same time and the cost of the pasture. Each transit storage tank is provided with an opening for the milk to flow in or out, and the opening is provided with valves for controlling the opening or closing. Configuration of the opening is: being separately provided with a feeding port and a discharging port, or merely being provided with a common opening for feeding or discharging; and correspondingly, valves are divided into a feeding valve and a discharging valve, or merely is a common valve for feeding or discharging. This step describes by using N transit storage tanks as an example, and the N transit storage tanks are marked as a 1# transit storage tank, a 2# transit storage tank, a 3#transit storage tank......and an N# transit storage tank, respectively.
The milk of a first cow is passed, by using the centrifugal pump and the filter, to the sterilization and cooling steps to be sterilized and cooled, and then is all conveyed to the 1# transit storage tank. A feeding valve of the 1# transit storage tank is closed and a feeding valve of the 2# transit storage tank is opened at the same time when the conveying is finished.

Further, specific process of the passing the milk to the sterilizing and cooling steps to be sterilized and cooled is: conveying the milk to a preheating heat exchanger and heating to 65°C-70°C, meanwhile conveying the milk to a homogenizer to be homogenized, then conveying the milk to a sterilizing heat exchanger to be sterilized, and finally cooling to a temperature required by a final product by using the high-temperature cooling heat exchanger and the low-temperature cooling heat exchanger.
Further, the method of the present invention further includes a step of filling: first disinfecting a working environment of a filler before filling;
conveying the sterilized milk by a transit storage tank, and conveying the same to a filler balance tank by using the output centrifugal pump; and feeding, by a bottle unscramble, a determined bottle type into the filler.
Further, a concentration detecting instrument is further provided in the teat cup/receiving mixing tank/sterilizer balance tank/transit storage tank/filler balance tank for detecting various physical and chemical indexes of this part of milk, where the physical and chemical indexes include a protein content and/or a fat content and/or a content of sucrose or glucose or lactose.
Further, the physical and chemical indexes of the milk detected by the concentration detecting instrument and/or the basic information of the cow obtained in step I and/or milking time and/or a production date and/or a shelf life are spray coated onto a bottle body or a sleeve label of the bottle body by using a laser marking printer in a computer type, so as to make sure that content of each battle is consistent with the information spray coated on the bottle body. In this way, each battle of milk may be traced.
According to the foregoing technical solutions, the present invention sets a plurality of receiving mixing tanks, and controls the entire production process and the device by the overall control system, so that the milk produced by each cow can be filled and produced separately. In this way, a corresponding amount of milk can be conveniently, accurately, and efficiently collected and processed, thereby finally implementing supplying milk of each cow according to an amount. By spray coating the basic information and various physical and chemical indexes of each cow onto the bottle body, a consumer can be enabled to know the milk is produced by which cow and at what time, and know the various physical and chemical indexes of the drunk milk, so as to satisfy requirements of the consumer for freely selecting dairy products to drink, thereby implementing actual precise ordering.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method according to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention is further described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the embodiments.
Flow of an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, and includes a whole process of milking, receiving, sterilization, transiting, filling, and spray coating.
Step I: milking sleeving a teat cup onto nipples of the cow to milk; and before each cow is milked, zeroing a milk flow rate value in the teat cup;
when a cow enters a milking stall, identifying an ear tag of the cow by a device for identifying an ear tag of the cow, so as to confirm basic information of the cow, and deliver the identified basic information of the cow and milking time to an overall control system;
and initiating a vacuum system to start milking, and weighting milk in the teat cup after the cow is milked, where a method for weighing is: adding a specialized measuring and weighing instrument between the teat cup and a receiving mixing tank to weigh the milk separately, or using a teat cup having a weighing function to directly weigh the milk in the teat cup, and delivering a weighted measured value to the overall control system, where the overall control system controls amount corresponding processing of the milk in step II according to the measured value.
Step II: amount corresponding providing three receiving mixing tanks which are respectively marked as a 1# receiving mixing tank, a 2# receiving mixing tank, and a 3# receiving mixing tank for receiving the milk in the teat cup in step I, where each receiving mixing tank is provided with a feeding port and a discharging port for the milk to flow in or out, and the feeding port is provided with a feeding valve and the discharging port is provided with a discharging valve for controlling the opening and closing of the feeding port and the discharging port;
conveying the milk weighted in step I to the 1# receiving mixing tank: opening a feeding valve of the 1# receiving mixing tank to convey the milk, and closing the feeding valve after the conveying of this part of milk is finished, where basis of determining when to close the feeding valve is that:
(1) a weighing function is set on the receiving mixing tank, and if weight of the milk conveyed to the receiving mixing tank reaches the measured value obtained in step I, it is considered that this part of milk is conveyed, and the feeding valve is closed; or (2) an estimated time for conveying this part of milk to the receiving mixing tank is estimated by the overall control system according to the measured value obtained in step I and a flow rate of this part of milk in a conveying pipe, where if time for actually conveying this part of milk reaches the estimated time, it is considered that this part of milk is conveyed, and the feeding valve is closed;
the foregoing method can make sure that all of the milk of this cow enters the 1# receiving mixing tank, and the 1# receiving mixing tank only contains the milk of this cow;
when the feeding valve of the 1# receiving mixing tank is closed, opening a feeding valve of the 2# receiving mixing tank at the same time;
before starting milking a second cow, zeroing the milk flow rate value in the teat cup again, and then repeating the foregoing steps to convey milk of the second cow to the 2# receiving mixing tank, close the feeding valve of the 2# receiving mixing tank, and open a feeding valve of the 3# receiving mixing tank at the same time; and after the 3# receiving mixing tank conveys milk of a third cow, feeding milk of a following fourth cow into the cleared 1# receiving mixing tank, and feeding milk of a fifth cow into the cleared 2# receiving mixing tank, so as to convey sequentially and circularly according to this rule.
Step III: sterilization and transit storage the following steps are performed only after the milk is stored in two tanks of a receiving mixing tank:
opening a discharging valve of the 1# receiving mixing tank; closing a feeding valve (this valve may also be provided on the conveying pipe between a receiving mixing tank and the sterilizer balance tank) of a sterilizer balance tank at the same time; and conveying, by an output centrifugal pump, the milk in the 1# receiving mixing tank to the sterilizer balance tank.
When the milk in the 1# receiving mixing tank is conveyed, the discharging valve of the 1# receiving mixing tank is closed, where basis of determining when to close the discharging valve is that:
(1) if a weight (net weight) of the 1# receiving mixing tank is weighted to be 0 by using the weighing function of the 1# receiving mixing tank, it is considered that this part of milk is conveyed, and the discharging valve is closed; or (2) an estimated time for which all of this part of milk is conveyed from the 1# receiving mixing tank is estimated by the overall control system according to the measured value obtained in step I and a flow rate (calculated according to a motor speed or a pipe diameter) of this part of milk in the conveying pipe, where if time for actually conveying this part of milk reaches the estimated time, it is considered that this part of milk is conveyed, and the discharging valve of the 1# receiving mixing tank is closed.
The foregoing method can make sure that all of the milk of this cow enters the sterilizer balance tank, and the sterilizer balance tank only contains the milk of this cow.
A second part of milk is conveyed to the sterilizer balance tank according to the foregoing manner; and so forth, after the milk in the 3# receiving mixing tank is conveyed to a heat exchanger by the sterilizer balance tank, the milk in the 1# receiving mixing tank is re-conveyed to the sterilizer balance tank, so as to convey sequentially and circularly according to this rule.
Setting of a sterilization temperature is: a sterilization temperature for pasteurized milk is 85°C, and sterilization time is 15s.
Before the production, a sterilizer, the transit storage tanks, the filler balance tank, a filling head, and feeding pipelines connected therebetween should be sterilized, and meanwhile a bottle to be filled would be disinfected.
Heat exchangers in the present invention uses 5 sets of heat exchangers which respectively are a preheating heat exchanger, a sterilizing heat exchanger, a high-temperature cooling heat exchanger, a low-temperature cooling heat exchanger, and a hot-water preparing heat exchanger.
The present invention provides three transit storage tanks which are respectively marked as a 1# transit storage tank, a 2# transit storage tank, and a 3# transit storage tank for receiving the milk sterilized and cooled at the sterilization and cooling steps, so as to ensure that the sterilized milk still has a corresponding amount. Each transit storage tank is provided with a feeding port and a discharging port for the milk to flow in or out, and the feeding port is provided with a feeding valve and the discharging port is provided with a discharging valve for controlling the opening and closing of the feeding port and the discharging port.
After the sterilizer is ready, a process of ejecting water with a material is entered: according to a prediction of a cycle operation time of the sterilizer, when a water-material mixture appears in a return pipeline of the sterilizer (i.e., when a filler is sterilized and filling may be performed, a signal is sent to the overall control system which sends a signal indicating that production may be performed to the sterilizer, and production may be performed if an operator presses a producing button), the milk in the sterilizer balance tank is passed, by using the centrifugal pump and a filter, to the sterilization step and a cooling step to be sterilized and cooled. A specific process of sterilizing and cooling the milk is: conveying the milk to a preheating heat exchanger and heating to 65°C-70°C, meanwhile conveying the milk to a homogenizer to be homogenized, then conveying the milk to a sterilizing heat exchanger to be sterilized, and finally cooling to a temperature required by a final product by using the high-temperature cooling heat exchanger and the low-temperature cooling heat exchanger.
The milk is conveyed to the 1# transit storage tank which is cleared and a feeding valve of which is open (a sterile air valve is switched at the same time). The feeding valve of the 1# transit storage tank is closed and a feeding valve of the 2# transit storage tank is opened at the same time when the conveying is finished. Basis of determining when to close the feeding valve of the 2# transit storage tank is consistent with the foregoing principle based on which the valves of a receiving mixing tanks are closed, and details are not provided herein again.
Similarly, the milk of the second cow is conveyed to the 2# transit storage tank according to the foregoing steps; and so forth, when the milk is conveyed into the 3# transit storage tank, milk of a next cow is conveyed into the cleared 1# transit storage tank, so as to convey sequentially and circularly according to this rule.
When producing continuously, cleaning needs not to be performed each time when materials in the 1, 2, and 3# receiving mixing tanks and the 1, 2, and 3# transit storage tanks are cleared. The entire production line needs to be cleaned only when the storage tanks do not produce for long, where a CIP cleaning process may be selected.
Step IV: filling
The milk can be conveyed to the filler balance tank only after the milk is stored in two tanks of a transit storage tank. Subsequently, a filling process is entered.
A working environment of the filler is first disinfected before filling.
The sterilized milk is conveyed by a transit storage tank, and is conveyed to the filler balance tank by using an output centrifugal pump.
A discharging valve of the 1# transit storage tank is opened, and a feeding valve (this valve may also be provided on the conveying pipe between the transit storage tank and the filler balance tank) of the filler balance tank is closed; and the output centrifugal pump is initiated to convey the milk in the 1# transit storage tank to the filler balance tank. The discharging valve of the 1# transit storage tank is closed and a discharging valve of the 2# transit storage tank is opened at the same time when the conveying is finished. Time for closing the valves is consistent with the foregoing method, and details are not provided herein again. At this time, the filler enters a process of ejecting water with the material. When the water-material mixture appears in the filling head of the filler is predicted according to a water-storage capacity of the pipeline of the filler, i.e., a filling valve may be switched. The filler enters a production-pending status, and waits for a ready instruction of a subsequent device. After a ready signal is received, the filling valve on the filler may be opened to start filling.
After the milk in the 1# transit storage tank is cleared, the discharging valve of the 2# transit storage tank is opened immediately, and the discharging valve of the 1# transit storage tank is closed after a time delay.
At this time, a feeding pipeline of the filler enters a process of ejecting a material with the material: when all the milk in the 1# transit storage tank reaches the filler balance tank, a feeding valve of the filler is closed, and a feeding valve of the filler can be opened only when the milk in the filler balance tank reaches a low liquid level.
After the material in the 2# transit storage tank is cleared, the discharging valve of the
3# transit storage tank is opened immediately, and the discharging valve of the 2# transit storage tank is closed after a time delay.
Similarly, after the milk in the 3# transit storage tank is cleared, the discharging valve of the 1# transit storage tank is opened immediately, and the discharging valve of the 3# transit storage tank is closed after a time delay.
The procedure is circulated in this way.
A bottle unscrambler feeds a determined bottle type (the specification is 250 ml, 500 ml, or 1000 ml) into a five-in-one filler (having five processes of flushing, disinfecting with drugs, flushing with sterile water, quantitatively filling, and capping).
In this embodiment, a concentration detecting instrument is further provided in the teat cup/receiving mixing tank/sterilizer balance tank/transit storage tank/filler balance tank for detecting various physical and chemical indexes of this part of milk, where the physical and chemical indexes include a protein content and/or a fat content and/or a content of sucrose or glucose or lactose. The physical and chemical indexes of the milk detected by the concentration detecting instrument and/or the basic information of the cow obtained in step I and/or milking time and/or a production date and/or a shelf life are spray coated onto a bottle body or a sleeve label of the bottle body by using a laser marking printer in a computer type, so as to make sure that content of each battle is consistent with the information spray coated on the bottle body. In this way, each battle of milk may be traced.
Technical features related in the foregoing implementation manners may be combined with each other if no conflict is formed therebetween. The present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments. All technical solutions formed by using identical replacements or equivalent replacements fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
